One of the brethren brought
a number of benches from the

forty persons were present,

NEWS FROM ARIZONA

ly OF Ine young people anu
children.
We were very happy to see
the response last evening as AZ
gathered in the rear room for
the youth fellowship service,
which was conducted by Mr..
James Harwood's intermediate
boys class. These boys took
care of conducting the singing,
Bible reading, prayers, offer
ing, poetry, stories, etc. We
trust that the young people
will continue to take an active
part in this weekly service.
Those who participated we're:
Jimmy Perry, Wayne Baker,
John DIETRICH, Edmund Ed
ward, Dwayne Fox and
Charles Heath. Next Lords
Day Evening the intermediate
girls of Mrs. Barton's class will
be in charge.
Tomorrow, the boys from 6 to
16 will go on an educational
tour and picnic, travelling in
the bus, which is driven by Mr..
Thomas. We will visit the
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company and
then journey on to Encanto
Park. The following week will
bring a good time for the girls
who will visit the new Holsum
Bakery, located near Phoenix.
In the evening service which
followed the youth fellowship
we had a splendid time when
quite number gathered to
sing and learn from Gods
Word. Many joined in the clos
ing prayer of conservation, and
a number responded in the tes-
timony service which followed.
How we rejoice as we see new
ones coming to fellowship with
us.
One of the great privileges
that a Christian has is in visit
ing the sick, the needy, the I'M
saved, who are hungry for
spiritual life, and the saints
who joy in fellowship. Each
child of God who is able,
should make it a point to visit
others as often as possible. Are
you doing this? If not, do so
and realize the blessing that
is in store for you.
Read Matthew 6:24, and
know what the Lord Jesus said
about those who would follow
Him. Also read the require
ment of a disciple of Christ in
Luke IA: 27. "The Way of the
Cross Leads Home!" Shame on
those who profess to be Christ's
and care not to serve Him.
We do appreciate the use
of the bus, for with it we are
able to bring many to the SER
vices, not just on Sunday morn
ing, but also Sunday evening,
and Wednesday evening. I am
enclosing a snap of the bus
with a load of children and
adults standing beside it as
they have just arrived at the
Zion Mountain View Chapel.
Perhaps sometime it can be
printed in The Theocrats We
expect to have an upholster-
ing job done on the bus seats,
and a new paint finish on the
outside.

CromWeii's 'fovorite'
makes poor showing
Bv FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS

Don't look now, but Coach
Dean Cromwell's face is red
enough to be Investigated by the
un-American committee follow
ing the flop Of Mel Patton SAT-
urday in the 100 meters at the
Olympic games in London.
Although Cromwell was listed
as head coach of the us. track
and field team. there was a feel
ing on the part of other athletes
that he was the private coach of
Patton, latest of the worlds
fastest humans"
Many OF the runners wondered
why Coach Emil Won Filing of
New York u, considered one of
the best running coaches in the
country, was not placed in charge
of the racers. Instead he was
assigned to tutor the hammer
throWerS.
DEAN Cromwell has long had
the reputation of being anti
Negro and his appointment drew
criticism from many circles. He
has done nothing in London to
change this opinion.
For instance, Barney Ewell
complained that Cromwell was
training him incorrectly for his
specialties, the 100 and 200 meter
runs, also two of Patton's star
ring events. The balding Ewell,
who has been a bigtine runner
for IL years, charged Cromwell
was using a faster start in prac-
tice than Olympic officials use
in order to throw him off on
his timing.
And it almost worked. In the
semi finals. Ewell made one false
start and would have been guilty
of second and elimination had
not the starters gun missed fire.

Heart and grit Of Bat Nelson
BY ED HUGHES

@ IXTY SIX : YEAR OLD
y Battling Nelson outlasted
serious sick spell recently.
Sounds like the old days.
He was the rough e st and
toughest of lightweight cham
pions. A thoroughly honest and
fearless fighting man, too. In
his day-40 years ago-the Dur
able Dane was actually punch
proof. All the great hitters took
their shots at him but failed to
bring him down.
AS Bat said: II amt human. I
can't be knocked out"
Nelson's endurance was aston
ishing. Curious, a prominent ply
Sician examined him for the
answer. He found an abnormaly
slow and extraordinarily strong
heart. Also the lung expansion
of heavyweight, although Nell
son was m e w h t slenderly
built. The doctor exclaimed: at
is almost impossible to exhaust
a man with such heart and
lungs"
BAT once told me: az never
went into any fight with the idea
could be licked or kayoed. Sure,
lot of punches hurt. So what?
wore 'em all down to their last
punch. figured every sock
got was one nearer the last he
had to hand out"
Nelson was strictly long dis
lance fighter and he attacked
ceaselessly. He was easy to hit
and his own punch wasn't much
until reckoned collectively. He
fought wolfishly, barring his fangs
and displaying contempt for his
man.
Floored frequently, he always
bobbed up fighting mad. Bat
absorbed cruel beatings round
after round and often it seemed
he would go under. But as Bat
put it: They always come back
TO me in the end"
He was a clean liver, never
touching liquor or even tobacco.

1913, there was no love lost for
Cromwell.
1t dates back to the recent
final tryouts at Northwestern
when the ace hurdler knocked
down three sticks and withdrew
from his speciality where he had
been considered sure champion.
When this occurred. Cromwell
showed no sympathy. Instead. he
said. 1T serves billiard right for
not concentrating on the hurdles.
He should have lei the sprints

So Billiard won and Ewell came
in second. Where was Patton?
Back in fifth, for all Cromwelps
favoritiSm.
1t wasn't until three days later
that Patton managed to win a
race-the 200-meter event. And
in that race Ewell, who Jagged
behind Patton by less than a
foot at the finishing line, was
credited with exactly the same
time as Patton, Oil seconds.

Increased Fare Justified

To the Editor OF The STAR
No doubt there are many Washingtonians
who are deeply concerned about the increased
transit fare to become effective, but am sure
that II those who feel that this fare increase
is not justified would give careful thought to
the matter, they would realize how fortunate
they are to have the public transportation
service they now enjoy.
Just stop and think Of how all other costs
of living have skyrocketed, and compare these
with that Of the longstanding ten-cent fare.
Surely the transit company, for its tremendous
outlay Of capital in new streetcars, buses and
other equipment, not to mention that OF
increased payrolls, is entitled to increased
fares The small increase Of fare authorized
certainly is low in proportion to all other costs
Of living.
If those who complain about the in
creased fare would see the poor equipment
and high fares prevalent in many other cities,
they would appreciate what our local transit
company offers us.
