KING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER Is

Dennis King, student of the Bible,
minister of the gospel and lover
of all mankind.
Altho Rev. King had been in ill
health for quite sometime, he bore
his Affections SO patiently, quietly,
uncomplainingly that his death at
the st. Dominic Hospital, Monday
evening at 9:05 came as a shock to
his family and many friends.
Using for his subject, words that
were taken from End Samuel, Sd
chapter, 38th verse, Bishop E. W..
Butler brought to the family and
other hearers, message that was
heart-rending, soul-saving and full
of consolation, extolling the de-
ceased, whose unselfishness, whose
simple mode of life, his great be-
lief in the true teachings of our
Lord Jesus, his unbelievable knowl-
edge of Gods words as written in
His Holy Bible, made him Great
Man in the eyes of all who knew
and loved him.
Rev. Joe Dennis King was born
in Copiah County, near Hazlehurst,
Miss, in 1881, the 9th child of Mack
and Sarah King. AT an early age
he united with the ST. Peter Church
of Christ Holiness and later preach
de his first sermon in this church

The trio said the CLIO demands

that a 25 per cent wage boost could
be absorbed by business and in

Custom Principle
The opinions of the U. S. SUI
preme court on application of the
so-called-portal-to-portal principle
are involved here. The law should
permit recognition of custom, prac-
tice or agreement in the locality,
industry, or particular place OF
employment. Thus if there is a
collective bargaining agreement be-
tween the im4oloyer and the repre-
sentative of his employees as to
when compensate pay time starts
and stops that agreement should
control. Such a provision in the
law would remove present uncer-
taintieS.
Second, an amendment that
will restore the long-standing def
milton of interstate commerce and
thus prevent the progressive ex-
tension of the coverage of the law

Third, an amendment to afford
relief to an employer from manda-
tory double libilities where an I'M
whiting violation of other mitigat-
ing circumstances are found.
And fourth, an amendment to
authorize employers and employees
