Quietism is a type of mysticism
which regards the most perfect
communion with God as coming
only when the soul is in state
of quiet in which it ceases to
reason or to reflect either upon
itself or upon God, and, in a word
to exercise any of its faculties, its
sole function being passively to
accept the fellowship which God
is ever ready to bestow.

LOAD OF GRAVEL
TO BE RETURNED
To Be Cause O.
Split Between Twin
Cities

TONAWANDA, N. Y, -U.H-
A much disputed load Of gravel -
said to have been the cause Of Z
9O-year-old split between the SO.
called twin" cities Of Tonawands
and North Tonawanda - will be
returned to the latter.
On August 10, Mayor Clarence A
Hackett of Tonawanda will drive
a horse-drawn wagon carrying the
load of gravel into North iona
wanda, where he will present it tt
Mayor Myles w. Joyce.
Tradition - and some old-time
residents - has it that the origina.
gravel was stolen by Tonawands
residents from North Tonawands
in 1857. The August ceremonie.
will mark the 5Oth anniversary o:
North Tonawanda.
According to word-of-mouth 10
cal historians, the alleged grave
theft led what is now North iona
wanda to secede from Tonawands
and become an individual com
munity. Others, however, doub
the whole story.
Old-Timers Remember
"Sure we stole that gravel" IS
year-old Joseph Brider, former
Tonawanda city health inspector

dad laughing about what a slicl
trick it was"
Former Mayor John Wallace o

"Those Tonawandans pulled

DOMESTIC COURT
in COUNTY HANDS
Council Endorses Propo.
sal; Next Step Now Up
To Commissioners

It is up to the New Hanover
county commissioners if there is
to be a domestic relations court
in this community.
The city council Wednesday en-
dorsed the proposal thus throwing
back into the laps Of the commits
sioners the next step in establih-
ing such a court.
Previously, the commissioners
had voted down such a court at a
JOINT meeting of the city and the
county.
Yesterday the council adopted a
motion upon recommendation OF
City Manager j. R. Benson ap-
proving the court on a basis OF
equal support from the city and the
county. Under the plan, the pres
ent juvenile court would be dis
pensed with and matters coming
to that court would 60 to the new
one.
The council motion yesterday
called for expenses to be borne by
the city mot to exceed the cost
of operation of juvenile court dur
ing the fiscal year"
Yesterdays council action was
in keeping with their past action.
The council at the joint session
with the county voted IN favor OF
the court along with Commission
err Chairman Addison Hewlett.
Other commissioners opposed it.
The county budget as recently
adopted does not provide ap-
p~ropriations for such a court.
