 Under the Italian peace treaty, Trieste was established as a free territory under the protection of the United Nations.
 Today's joint announcement of the western powers said this plan for an independent Trieste is not working out very well.
 It said Yugoslavia already has virtually incorporated that area of the territory occupied by Yugoslav troops.

 French foreign minister Georges Bidault, who announced the plan Saturday and conferred three hours today with De Gasperi, de- clared:
 Peace is possible. I think that peace is probable and I think if we do what we should, peace is certain"

LAKE SUCCESS, R-A Amer ica's about-face on Palestine whipped up a world storm Satur- day, but U. s. sources expressed confidence the United Nations will accept the sudden proposal to abandon partition.

Relief Campaigns
For Overseas Needy
To Be Launched

ATLANTA-Plans have b e n
made to launch statewide cam
paigns throughout the South for a
series of food trains for overseas re-
lief. The trains will be sponsored by
the Christian Rural Overseas pro-
gram CROP, which is supported
nationally by Catholic Rural Life
Church World Service, and Luther
an World Relief. In most Southern
states the work of CROP will be a
special project of Church World
Service.
The announcement was made by
Thomas F. Byrd, regional director
of CROP, who has established head
quarters here. Byrd also said that
a Southern advisory committee
had been appointed, headed by
=" Louie D.. Newton, pastor of the
Dr'id Hills Baptist church, Atlanta.
States will be organized down
through the various counties with
volunteer solicitors calling on rural
people for gifts in kind. Special en-
phasis will be placed on contribu-
tons of seed cotton, peanuts, rice,
corn, soy beans, daily products and
other farm produce.
Whenever possible, raw products
will be shipped overseas, so as to
provide both immediate relief and
employment.

Distribution overseas will be
made entirely through church chan
nels, solely on the basis of need.
Each donor may designate which
church he wishes to distribute his
gift. Special efforts T made to
supply needed food to children, or
phanages, widows, the aged, and

knows the pain and tears shed since
she has left this world.
When we visit that lonely grave
in the Lexington cemtery it seems
as tho we can not leave it. Poor
mother suffered so long, and SO
hard in this world before she did
pass away.
We know she Is at rest for she
has always been true to her God
and trusted in Him for everything
| Just thirty minutes before she pass
ed away, she was in such pain. She
said: OH Dear Lord, you have
never failed me, why don't you take
me out of my suffering?" She was
conscious to the end, regardless to
her pain and agony. For she cross
ed her hand on her bosom and pass
ed away with the sweetest smile.
She told us several months ago,
the three SPECIAL songs she wanted
sung over her at the funeral, also
the preacher to preach her funeral.
With Gods help, we were able to
grant every request she made of us
for that special occasion. We want
to thank DR.. Brumby for all of his
kindness and visits to poor mother
as long as she lay sick, for he GER
tainly was loyal to her, in trying
to give her relief and stay the hand
Of death off.
He did everything in his power
that could be done for her. Poor
mother had the utmost confidence
in DIR. Brumby. Many, many thanks
to all the kind and loving friends
that made every sacrifice in their
power to assist us in every way they
could when mother passed away, as
it helped to bear the burden SO
much. AS it has always been said,
friends in need are friends in deed.
We know our dear mother is safe
in the arms of Jesus, but her pass
ing is just as fresh with us today,
as it was one month ago when she
passed away. Dear mother, you will
be forever missed, and home will
never be the same, for it is so dark
and lonely without you. Your room
in the home is so dark and lonely
without you. Sleep On, dear mother,
and take your rest. God called you
home, he had a better place pre-
pared for you around his white
throne.
We will meet again on that resur-
rection NORM, when parting will be
no more, where We can sing forever
more and rejoice on that happy
Golden shore.
Tho the body slumbers here the
soul is safe in the arms of Jesus,
the happy Golden shore.
Your Loving Daughter,
MAGGIE.
