the Rev. j. r. Kennedy, of
Whiteville, began outlining the
proposed plan of union of the
Northern and Southern Presby-
terrain churches. We Methodists
had years of union talk and con-
troversy. We managed to live
through it and presumably the
Presbyterians will. But they
never will forget the years pre-
ceding acceptance or rejection
of union.
Too much praise cannot be
paid the ladies of the Lake Wac
camaw Presbyterian church for
the dinner they served Sunday.
It was not a handout. It was a
real meal, apparently infinite in
variety, beautifully served, gen
timely home cooked.
Harry's Anchorage, where the
other meals were served, is 3
place remarkable for it's friend.
Iiness. Mrs. Smith, who was in
charge, took pleasure in ascer-
tanning and fulfilling the slight
est want of every delegate.
It should be said for the re-
treat that it adhered to its
theme No delegate could have
returned home without being
impressed by the desire of the
assembly that all the men in
the church do more church
work. They were urged to- equal
the women in church activity.
In chatting with the delegates,
we found a sincere appreciation
of the service of DR.. L. A. Tay-
lor, secretary of the Whining
ton Presbytery, to the smaller
churches. 1t seems that when
ever one has an emergency it
calls for DR.. Taylor and. ac-
cording to the delegates, he
never fails to respond.
The men of the Lake Wacca-
nav Presbyterian church were
aver-present hosts. They were
constantly in circulation seeing
if any service was needed. They
act like old-line Presbyterians.

Ben Gurion, chairman of the Jew
ish Agency executive, may remain
in Palestine to cover any develop
ments here. The makeup of the
Jewish delegation to the U. N.
Assembly has not been decided
upon, since the Agency has not
yet received a formal invitation
from the United Nations.
Meanwhile, the Palestine Gov
eminent is going ahead with plans
to adjust the cOuntry's economy
to the present economic situation
in Britain. 1t is learned that the
government is preparing to raise
duties on goods from the United
States and other countries. At
the same time, it will allow the
importing of more raw materials
to increase the output of Pales-
tines industries. If the problem
of securing modern machinery
which is complicated by the
scarcity of dollars and of import
Iicenses-cOuId be solved, Jewish
industry could fill all local needs
and help to some extent to alIevi-
ate Britain's shortages.

Sometimes q vacation away
from it all will produce a thought
which leads to a column. Vermont
was responsible for this one.

To those impatient souls who
would consign the United Nations
to the waste heap two years after
birth, the Vermonter's terse re-
mark is full of common-sense.
Detours bring grumbles and an
noyance, but the driver, or passen-
gers, do not junk the car because
Of detours, or dashboard roads.
People who want to get some
place, keep on the road "fur
enough"
Because the u. N. has hit some
rough spots is no reason to be-

personal affairs needed taking

resident Truman's earnest re-
quest, finally succeeded.
How successful the U. N. will be

VIDE open question. It is almost
certain that the report of the
united Nations Special Committee
