VT IIs1 " 4EIuL 4AFN''
Rev. Charles Z. Burns

Beginning Nov. 6, Evangelist
Dunlap Chenault, most outstand-
ing Evangelist for San Antonio,
Texas, will conduct a revival at
the Refuge Church of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Evangelist Chen
ault's dynamite soul stirring
messages have brought great sue
cess to Rev. S. f. Williams Of
Washington, D. c., Rev J. S.
Beane, and Rev. A. B. Freshman,
of West Va. The Evangelist comes
for his last campaign before re-
turning home from the National

our Lord Jesus Christ in Wash
ington, D. c. 1t will very greatly
be to your advantage to hear this
outstanding evangelist. Service
begins at 8:15 nightly. Mrs. Mar
garet Williams, Secretary.
The church finds it necessary
to enlarge the quarters to meet
the demands of the increased at
tendance and the social and civic
work. To this end the church has
divided into five groups. Mrs.
Margaret Williams, is leader Of
group Ii, has had the field for 4
weeks. Mrs. Bessie Stokes of
group 4 made a vigorous cam
paign last week and took the lead
by special gift of $500 by Mrs.
Richardson. When reports come
in Sunday anyone may be found
to lead Group III, Mrs. Grace
Edwards has shown increased
activity with a gift Of $500 by
Mrs. Grant. Group 5, Mrsf Lam
dunn, was greatly surprised by a
gift of $500 from Mrs. Mitchell.
Group I, Mrs. Earl Jones, is work
ing behind an iron curtain, the
spies being unable to learn what's
going on. New captains will be
installed on Nov. 80 for the Sc
cond quarter when the total for
the first will be announced. The
new captains will be men.
Friends wishing to help may send
or bring contributions to the
church, care of Elder Charles E.

Nothing tangible has come Of
these other reports.
THE UNITED NATIONS has
been beaten to the draw" by
our own official admissions, say
some skeptics. Now that saves
us face" in an international
sense (does it2) and spares us
from being judged by UN mem
bers. Now, also say these skep-
tics, our Dixie dominated Con-
gress will simply forget the
whole thing in a hurry.
ONE FACT IS certain. Mr..
Truman has risked the ire of
some sections and possibly his
entire 1948 Presidential future
on the release and the endorse
ment of tn 1947 Civil Rights re-
port. 1t has given COP rivals
something to think about and
may have a direct bearing on
the political elections next year.
FREE SPEECH and civil iber-
ties for all minorities was a
meaty portion of the recent Tru-
man committee report. One can
not underestimate the value of
this content at a time when citi-
zens are being grilled for their
private opinions and personal
rights.
SEC. OF WAR PATTERSON,
speaking in Bo5ton's Statler,
May is, 1947, recognized this
threat when he said, Fear of
witch hunts has been expert
enced in some quarters, designed
to remove from government SER
vice all outSpoken critics of the
status quo, or even persons who
by reason of race. religion or
politics, happens to be unpop-
ular with some one in author
ity.
THE PLEDGE was then given
by Sec. Patterson that Uncle
Sam would not deprive loyal
citizens Of their Civil Rights.
The Truman Committee report
seems to agree with that pledge.
It's now up to Congress.

Observations
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

While searching for some
thing which might be worthwhile
to offer for your consideration, I
was approached by a young man
who wanted me to underwrite a
concert for him I had never
heard the young man perform,
and 1 am not in the business of
promoting, except for my pupils.
But the incident served to re-
call the feeling of perfection
which comes too readily to so
many students. Whether they
have not a sense Of proper prep
aration, whether they cannot
recognize performance of the &C
cepted standard, whether they
think they can fool the public,
I know not. But there is too
great q tendency to infict pro-
grams of poorly prepared stu
dents, of totally unfit students,
upon the public. Do we think we
are good when we are not? Is it
the ego that is in us which
makes us try to promote person
al performances when we are ut
terly unqualified to do so? How
are we going to know whether
this is so or not? Well, the pub
lie will let you know pronto. If
you think you are good, try your
wares on the public. If they like
your work, and want more Of it,
you are good. If not

VA NOW STATE
FOR VETS STUDY
|On-The-Job Training Elk
penses Contract Is
Approved

Under a contract now in force
between the Veterans Administra-
ton and The State of North Caro-
lima, VA reimburses the state for
expenses incurred in approving
and supervising establishments
providing on-the-job training for
veterans training under the G. a.
Bill.
Pointing this out today. Robert
S. Mathews, Jr., contact repre-
sentative in charge of the Will
mington VA office, 1875 custom
house, asserted also that VA has
similar contracts with Al other
states and Puerto Rico. Among
those having contracts r Virgin
ia, North Carolina, West Virginia,
Maryland and the District of. Co.
lumbia. which comprise VAS
Richmond branch area.
The responsibility for approving
and supervising training establish
ments providing on-job training
| establishments rests under the G..
l. Bill with state approving agen-
cies. Recently Congress authorized
VA to reimburse the states for
their services and VA thus far
has obligated approximately 3D.
500, 600 for this purpose for the
current fiscal year ending June
30.
VA now is negotiating with the
six remaining states for similar
contracts. The states r New
York, Alabama. Idaho, Maine,
Mississippi and North Dakota.
Under the terms of each con-
tract. the state agrees that it will
approve the application of an es-
tablishment for an on-the-job
training program after the state
ascertains upon investigation that
the establishment meets certain
+ a c training requirements.
These requirements include:
l. The training content Of the
program is adequate to qualify
the veteran for appointment to the
Job for which he is to be trained.
2. There is reasonable certainty
that the Job for which the veteran
is to be trained will be available
to MIN at the end of the training
period.
8. The job is one in which pro-
erosion and appointment to the
next high classification are based
upon skillS learned through organ
lied training on-the-job and not on
such factors as length of service
and normal turnover.
4. Adequate records are kept to
show the progress made by the
veteran.

HATTERAS, June q In N
week, this outpost took both a
paved highway and a constable in
it's stride and never missed a spit.
A road and a constable may be
two boring articles to mainland
ers, but these items r the first
such critters Hatteras has had in
some 300 years of its history. New
ertheless the natives were much
more interested in the bluefish
running around the off-shore
wrecks, and bringing a calamitous
8 cents a pound to the fish house.
The constable was elected in
the first local election ever held
here. Just what he is going to do
is .somethlng of a mystery. There
are no criminals, known or I'M
known. on this sandy reef. There
are no banks to rob or much phys
ical property to despoil, and even
if there were, the criminals would
have to engage water transporta-
ton to get away. and such trans
portation is under observation.
The paved highway will cost
over 1928, COO, and from the stand
point Of residents served may well
be the most expensive highway
the commonwealth of North Caro-
lima ever built. There is no assur-
ance that it will survive the fall
and winter gales, but a genera
ton of petitions and promises has
finally borne fruit, and though the
hid exceeded estimates by nearly
500, 900, the State government de-
cided to go ahead and FULFILL its
