Trek Across the Plains
One hundred years ago, July
"a, 1847, the first major party
of the Mormon Pioneers entered
the valley of the Great Salt Lake,
as Brigham Young, their
prophet leader proclaimed:
This is the place." From that
day to this their record has been
astonishing, as in the words of
the poet:
This is the place in all the
west!

North Carolina proudly shares
with the state of Utah in the
centennial celebration of Utah's
growth, progress and develop
ment. Fou" former citizens OF
North Carolina were part OF the
original band of Mormon pio-
neers comprised of 143 men,
three women, and two children
who left their homes, loved ones
and friends. They were Green

pioneers they were the ancestral
kin of those who followed in next
years.
Due to the animosity of their
neighbors the original pioneers
left Fayette, NY. where the
church was first organized in
$780, to make their homes in
Kirkland. Ohio. Forced to flee
again because of religious per-
secution the Sainst made their
home in independence. Mo.
AS mob violence increased
against the Saints, due to their
belief in latter-day revelation,
they were forced to flee from
Missouri. This time they settled
and built the largest city, at that
time, in Illinois which was call
ed Nauvoo, an Indian name
meaning Getty Beautiful.
Persecution reached its climax
with the mob martvdom of the
Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith
in 1874.
It was then that Brigham
Young was chosen to lead the
church across barren plains and
precipitous mountains into the
everlasting hills.
Selling their homes and priced
possessions they purchased
covered wagons, OK teams and
food supplies. Their trail was to
be one that had been blazed by
Indians, scouts and rappers. 1t
was while making this trek
across the plains that the choir,
later to become world famous as
the Tabernacle Choir, was or
ganized.
After months of preparation
and long cruel march over
the mountains Brigham Young
and his vanguard of pioneers
stood at last on the mouth of
Immigration Canyon and view
ed for the first time the valley
of the Great Salt Lake. 1t was
an historic moment. This is the
Place :" exclaimed Brigham
Young pointing to the plains be-
yond. Four days later he stroll
ed forth in this treeless wilder
ness of sage and salt and struck
his cane between the forks of a
mountain stream declaring:
"Here we will build a mighty
city and a temple to our God....

DIR. frederick l.. + agley, of
the General Council { the Con-
gregational Christian churches,
will leave for the Orient in Janu-
ary, at the invitation of the Unit
ed States Army, to officially
visit the chaplains and their
work. His tour will include army
bases in Japan, the Philippines,
Korea, and China. During Word
War II, DR.. Fagley was chair
man of the National Committee
for chaplains of his church, and
has been awarded by the Army

for his services.
Hailing the report of Presi-
dent Truman's COMMITTEE on
Civil Rights" as a notable con-
tribution to our progress toward
working democracy, the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of
Christ in America has urged the
peoples of, the Christian church
es of the land to study it's rec
ommendation and to ''take seri-
ously the challenge" in their act
ions. The Council says: "We
note with approval that the COM
mittee was sensitive not only to
the rights of our largest minor
ity group, the Negro, but also
to other racial and religious mi
nority groups within our society.
Among the objectives in the re-
port which seem to call for
special attention from the
churches in view of the Christ
ian principles involved are the
protection of h uman life against
mob violence; equal opportunity
for employment. regardless OF
race, religion, or national origin;
the elimination of segregation,
including the outlawing Of re-
strictive covenants in real estate
contracts; and the right of every
adult citizen to vote"
A group of church and church
related organizations are giving
attention to the need for immedi-
ate relief for the Navajo Indians
on the reservation i'll New Mexi-
co and Arizona, and they have
appealed to the special session
of Congress to take some action
on thu matter. According to DR..
Mark A. Dawber, of the Home
Missions Council of North
America, large numbers of Nav
ajos have returned the reser-
walton recently, having left he
industrial communities where
they worked during the war
years, but the land on which
they have hitherto pastured their
sheep has been over-grazed.
Other organizations joining tn e
council in asking relief include

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. - R - The Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee is planning to ask prominent Americans from all walks of life for their opinions of the four-year SIT billion dollars Marshall Plan for European recovery.
 Democratic leader Brkley tKy), a committee member, told reporters this today. He said Secretary o1 State Marshall probably will be the first witness when the committee begins hearings Jan. 2. But before hearings are concluded, he said, scores of others will be heard.
 Chairman Vandenberg (R.-Mlch0 said no list of prospective witnesses has been compiled, but that he wants to obtain "a cross section of American views before the com mittee acts.
 Already signs are cropping up that Congress will take lots of time and write its own European recovery plan, rather than accepting the one President Truman submitted. And indications are that it will be mo- where near as big as $17000,0Oo,00 ,000.

 STRIKE AvERTED,
 ELEVENTH HOUR
Differences Submitted 10 Faet-Finding Bodrd-
 Decision in 50 Days

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-iR-- A pre-Christmas strike of West ern Union workers was averted today by shifting major differences between the company and three AFL unions to a fact-finding board ior decision in 50 days.
 The action delays the threat of nation -wioe telegraph tieup at least until after February 9-about the time telephone workers plan to begin wage talks with the Bell Telephone Companies across the country
 The two groups of communica tions workers were poised to strike simultaneously last spring, but the telegraph workers settled for a five-cent hourly pay increase on the eve of the scheduled tie-up The telephone strike lasted five weeks.
 The renewed Western Union dis pute arose over union demands for Is cent an hour wage boost. The walkout first was set to be- gin at 6 q. m, Eastern Standard Time, tomorrow, but the unions later threatened to call the tele- graphers out on shorter notice.
