Others Agree
Other dairy operators when on

One dairyman said that it would
be some time next week before
his prices would be raised, and the
amount would be between two and

Another said that price increases
had been discussed but no deci-

home. Later a lot was acquired
and a small chapel constructed.
This was added to, until finally
there were class rooms Cor all
age groups, and an auditorium
with a seating capacity of about
200. With the growth of the beach
during the war years, several
UNCONVENTIONAL churches were
constructed, and besides the orr

lotte, Winston-Salem, Concord,
Newton, and a number of other
points.
In discussing plans for the home
coming celebration, the Rev. Mr..
McQuere stated that visitors this
year will find that many improve
ments and changes have been
made in the last year. The church
plant has been improved by ap-

thought he meant. So that dare

ing tough with Russia. That Is,

While there were serious weak
nesses in the Wallace speech
at Madison Square Garden, there
were also positive and important
contributions to A m r i C n
thought. Wallace proposed a mod
crate foreign policy for peace.
=
WALLACE also opposed the
/, Anglo American alliance for the
preservation and extension of i'm
peria1ism that has been an UNI
official fact since Churchill spoke
in Missouri. No matter who dom
mates and sets the pace, this
united front of British Tories and
American monopolists must be
smashed if we want peace.
Had Roosevelt been alive,
the Wallace speech in it's broad
outlines would have been little
more than routine confirna-
ton of the Presidents policy.
The intensity of the fur0Pe
Wallace aroused and his repu-
diatiOn by Truman should
make painfully clear to all the
tremendous and ever widening
gap between the FDR program
and that of the present admin
istratiOn.
To put it badly, the basic is
sue today is world peace through
close Big Three Unity, as pro-
posed by Roosevelt and Wallace,
or crisis after crisis eliminating
in World War III, the pathway
of our current foreign policy.
MOST Americans don't want
war. But small minority itches
for an armed clash with Russia.
Some, like John STEELE, national
commander of the American ,Le-
gion; Ex-Gov. Earle of Pennsyl-
vania and former Ambassador
William c. Bullitt want us to
drop atom bombs on the Soviet
