KINcTON Nox, 1e

KINSTON, Nov. 16- P) -
Speaking at the dedication of the
Kinston municipal airport here
today, Governor Cherry said that
1--WE are moving in the right di-
rection in North Carolina and
that with vision, faith, courage
and work "we have a radiant
new era of growth and prosperity
ahead.
"Our Industrial production in
this state has increased in value
in a percentage that far outstrips
that of the nation" the governor
continued. x x x Financially we
are stronger than at any time in
the history of our state.
"Agriculturally we are making
even bigger strides. We are get
ting bigger and better yields per
acre through diversification of
crops and are even moving into
brand new day of rotation and
scientific planting and culture of
these crops"
"And the future of aviation is
still a thing that challenges the
human imagination" the COVER
nor said. 1T has been only few
years since the Wright brothers
flew the first successful heavier
than air vehicle off an eastern
North Carolina sand dune. The
air as a medium of commerce,
pleasure, warfaree and defense
is still relatively young a
young giant, we might hastily
add.
"x x Xxx You already know
and I do not therefore need to
remind you, that the best interest
of our state and the land in which
we live will be served by giving
aviation the opportunity to de-
velop and take its place in the
traffic picture of the universe. ="
The airport dedication program
included a five-hour air show,
including parade of planes over
Kinston.

Hail Release Of Preacher
BY The Assoeiafed Press

HALL STATION, Ga, Sept. 15.-
With an oak for a pulpit and the
sky as q canopy, about 200 hill folk
worshipped God by groveling in the
dust of North Georgia pasture
yesterday and shouting approval of
evangelists who bade them take up
snakes or drink poison as faith"
tests.
The congregation celebrated the
release of the Rev. Gordon Miller
on manslaughter charges resulting
from the death Of follower, Ernest
Davis. 50, from poison.
Farmer-Preacher Floyd Z. Fowler,
who owns the pastures, led the
shouting group in their demonstra-
tions and then baptized several in
gentle stream.
The services followed a weird
Saturday night revival in which
three tieless, coatless ministers, IN
Guiding Mr.. Miller, tirelessly shouted
Gods praises and plunged hands
into a box to hold venomous snakes
aloft.
Mr.. Miller, who says he is a min
lister of the Free Church Of God"
was released by a Rome Superior
Court judge on the grounds there
was no law to prevent the carrying
Of poison such as Mr.. Miller brought
to the service that fatal night.
