Politics Holds The Line|ioht
Till Election; Close Contests

The Western News is pretty vel
taken over by the politicians this
week This is of considerable in
terest to most folks who find the
present political campaign of great
interest, and are interested in what
the various candidates, national,
state and county have to tell them
through the columns of the news
papers.
The greatest interest of the most
people centers on the Presidential
election. The Republican party is
approaching the election filled with
confidence that Gov. Dewey will De
elected, and hoping the people of
the nation will give him a Congress
which will work with him in unity
for the best interests of the nation
and world.
The Democratic bretheran thru
out the nation are divided in many
ways but united in a stop Dewey"
determination. They claim a good
chance of winning November 2 at
the polls and are putting everything
they have in the battle.
Most Independent observers give
Mr. Dewey an easy victory, but
they have been wrong before and
there is always a possibility they
could be again. A few more days
will tell the story
In Montana a hard fought battle |
IS under way between the support |

ray is a veteran who has a power
full machine and many friends back
ing him. Davis also is a strong man,
well known throughout the state
with reputation for getting things
done The contest will be one of
the SharpeSt in the state.
The race between Angstmann and
Mike Mansfield is also creating
much interest and republicans are
asking for representative to work
with the President they hope to
elect. Mansfield is an ideal cam
Oaigner and will be difficult to de- {
eat by any man. ]
The contest between Gov. Ford,

It is imperative that we alert our

threat inherent in this facist, po-

It is incumbent that we act

The home is the source of more

any other place. Accidents are the

those fatalities are the result of

Women Leaders Appear
AT Harlem Church

NEW YORK, May II. (ANP)
- Several women Presbyterian
church leaders appeared on the
program as 2,700 persons jammed
the auditorium to attend the first
Women's day service at st. James
Presbyterian church, last week.
The church pastor, the Rev.
Shelby Rocks, had invited every
member to bring at least one wo-
man guest to this service. Only
800 o fthe vast audience were
men.
Heading the list Of speakers
was Mrs. Harper Sibley, president
of the United Council of church
women. She said that a CONVEX
sation between Jesus Christ and
a Samaritan woman "set the pat
tern that there should be no dis
elimination because of race, sex,
language or religion"
She was referring to the 4th
chapter of St. John where Jesus
addressed the Samaritan woman
at the well.
Also appearing on the program
was Miss Gertrude Ely of Bryn
Mawr, Pa, who recently toured
the displaced persons camps in
Europe for the United Nations.
Miss Emily Gibbs, assistant di-
rector of Christian education for
the New York Presbytery, pre-
sided over the meeting and intro
duced the speakers. Mrs. Charles
e. Baker, president of the Wo-
mems society of St. James church.
also said a few words.

Many of the visitors attending
the program were guests of Mrs.
Rocks, the pastors wife, and we'll
known singer, Dorothy Maynor.

Among the positive actions Of

Among the positive actions Of
the conference was the exonera-
ton by the Episcopal committee
of all bishops of Is charges
against them by ousted Bishops
Sims and Curry. Neither has has
said much at the meeting. No move
has been made to reinstate them.
The passage limiting the finan-
cial power of the bishops also met
a lot of noisy opposition. The res
olution, introduced by Bishop D.
Ward Nichols, read:
"Realizing that the assessment
burden is the bane of the AME
church and that many members
are leaving the church and that
numerous of our ministers and
their families are deprived OF a
decent living because of these as
sessments: Be it hereby resolved
that a special. budget committee
be appointed to fix a budget for
each episcopal district and that
no bishop be permitted to recr-
ganize or in any manner change
the said budget"

A
Woman's
World
By Nellie c. Jones

Now we've talked about dresses
and hats, but women wear more
than these. They use cosmetics
and wear gloves and shoes, and if
they're lucky, jewellery. There are
chances for fashion minded wo-
ment in every n of these bust
nesses. More and more m~anufac-
turers are waking up to the fact
that they need them.
Jewelry is a highly specialized
business, and one usually works
into it by force of a real love of
germs, and sheer grit. The de-
signing of jewelry does not offer
many opportunities, particularly
among the firms who deal with
precious stones; but in costume
jewelry the chances for a talented
woman who has taste and a knowl-
edge of the mechanics of jewelry
construction, the opportunities are
more prolific. Particularly if she
has an alert fashion sense and is
a good reporter.
Jewelry manufacturers watch
fabrics more closely than any 9TH
er part of the ready-to-wear, for
color plays a more important, bas-
ic role than any other portion of
the mode.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-05-17

The manufacturers are very in
terested in what l call a Woman's
World, and put every effort for
ward to please.
This means that these manufac-
turers must see new fabrics be-
fore they are made into dresses,
or at least before the dresses
reach the stores.

lege presidents.
Because of the large delegation
the conference was moved from
the church at which it was origl-
nally scheduled to meet to the
Memorial hall. During the move
the Bible was left at the church
and the conferees had to send
for it.
The greatest confusion and ex-
element of the meeting was
caused by a resolution by the Rev.
D. O. Walker, Of Buffalo, N. T.,
which would limit the stay OF
bishops in one church or district
to eight years.
With the introduction Of this
resolution half of the Georgia
delegation supporting Bishop VIM.
A. Fountain, now almost 20 years
in that district, left their seats
and gathered around the chair
mans microphone singing such
songs as eve Shall Not Be Moved"
and "Get Right with Good"
For five and a half hours Sat
urday they sang, shouted and
cheered everyttime the chairman,
Bishop Greene of Louisiana and
Mississippi, tried to call for a
vote. Most Of the delegates re-
rnained in their seats, ready to
vote. Finally the meeting had to
be adjourned without anything
being done.
After a quiet Sunday morning
of routine business the meeting
was again thrown into chaos when
the resolution was again brought
up.
Rev. Walker said he introduced
the measure to break up the extra
ordinary influence by bishops and
ministers who stay in one place
too long.
For example, in Atlanta, it is
said that Morris Brown college
will be in trouble if Bishop Foun-
tain, whose son is president, is re-
moved from the district. 1t seems
that a corporation was formed to
borrow about 100000 from a
fdereal agency to build a new
additions such as a stadium to the
school.
Rev. Walker wants to stop such
as this. He said that nearly |
the members of the episcopal
committee, the church executive
were pledged to return their
bishops to their same districts.
The Sunday discussion was
touched off by lay delegate H. l..
Dudley who said the Walker res
olution must be acted upon be-
fore any other business was con-
Quoted. After that Bishop Allen,
presiding, could hardly say a word
for the noise.
Bishop Young made the remark
that he had asked Bishop Allen
to preside until l can get used
to this noise"

RAIL FARES
 TO ADVANCE

WASHINGTON, July l0-R-The eastern railroads today were grant ed a new increase in passenger fares averaging IT percent.
 The new fares can be put into effect by the railroads upon five days notice to the public.
 The raise was authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission for all of the railroads doing passenger business north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers and east of the Mississippi.
 The ICC order sustained the car riers' request for an advance of 20 percent in basic passenger coach fares and l4.3 percent in basic fares in sleeping and par Tor cars.
 The increases are in addition to the general 10 percent hike in pas senger fares granted by the com mission throughout the country last year
