 The Sunrise service by the Scouts at Dugger Park on Easter morn brought out a very good
 crowd. There were many white
 worshippers beside colored. The minister from the local white church was present officiating on the program. Rev. Bailey expressed his regret at not being able to present stating that he could not make it as he guessed he got to bed too late the night before. Nev- ertheless, he assured all that next year he surely would be present.
 The local iFEPC meeting at the Colonial Hall served to bring pres sure to bear on the local politi- clans. With elections coming this fall, those who seek our vote are at least giving lip service to this important measure. We should not forget to reward them according ly! Former Mayor John c. Carr lent vigorous support of this bill although he is not a candidate for any office.

Davis Darden is sick. Mrs. Lanier is still i'll at home requiring the services l of nurse Mrs. West. zi
 Incidentally, during the illness of the church organist, Mrs. Coral 1 it was announced that there are no pianists available in the community. This is an error. We know that Mrs. Dorothy John son is a competent pianist and she states that she is available. Also, n an emergency yours truly will always respond. In fact, we un- derstand that we were supposed to be on the church register in that capacity. Then, undoubtedly there are others of whom we do not know. In this community if one tries, a competent person can usually be found for any emer- yency.
