get the two friends, your potential

A candidate pays 81 to get in.

Theoretically, you progress in

East-West Cold War
Top Issue in French
Local Voting Today
by the Asso<iessd Press

PARIS, Mar. l9.-The East
West cold war is a major issue
In grass roots voting in France
tomorrow to fill 1903 political
posts.
Candidates of six main parties
are competing for unpaid local
jobs as general councillors.
Five Of the parties are on the
side Of the United States. The
Communists alone are stringing
along with Russia.
Actually, the voting plays no
decisive role in the East-West
conflict, or in the present French
political situation. But it may
show whether the North Atlantic
treaty, the Marshall Plan, the
Berlin airlift, the Brussels Pact
and steps toward European union
have encouraged the French peo-
pie to take a stronger anti-Com-
munist stand.
The Communists lump their op-
ponents into what they call the
American party" They accuse it
OF organizing an aggressive war
against the Soviet Union"
Thorez VS.. De Gaulle.
The non-Communists say the
Communists are a fifth column"
working for Russia.
On domestic policy. the election
Is mainly a clash between the
Communist Party of Maurice.
Thorez and the French Peoples
Party (RPF) Of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
Both the Communists and De
Gaullists oppose the French coali-
ton government, supported by
Socialists. the Catholic Popular
Republican Movement (MRP).
Radical-Socialists (moderate) and
the rightist Republican Liberty
Party.
The Communists seek to get
into the government because they
say it is too pro-American. The
De Gaullists want to take over
because, Gen. de Gaulle says. only
he can give France an efficient
leadership. He says his party Of
fers "the only effective barrier
against communism"
The local officials are to be
elected for six-year terms in half
of Frances cantons, which are
roughly equivalent to counties in
American states. Mostly, the
councillors have only advisory
powers.
Results Due by March Fl.
Each candidate must get an
absolute majority Of the votes cast
to be elected. Where this is not
done, runoff elections will be held
a week later, when candidates
getting the most votes will vim
The final results will not be
known until after March 27. Gen.
de Gaulle's party was not in ex-
istence in 1945, when the last
cantonal elections were held.
Since then many of the men in
these Offices have lined up with
him.
The Interior Ministry divides
the outgoing officials as follows:
Socialists. 433: Communists,
1874: Radical Socialists Cand afili-
ates), 1853; Catholic (MRP), 1877;
De Gaullists. 14e; Rightists. 10;

ialists, 81.
Among the candidates are Pre-
mier Henri Queuille tRadical
Socialist, Francois Mitterand. in
formation minister Radical So
cialist affiliate, and Paul Coste
Floret, colonies minister (MRP)
The Communists are running
many more candidates than in
the last previous cantonal elec-
tions. Not all Of them wear the
Communist label. but are pre-
sented as candidates Of the Re-
publican and Resistance Union"
Premier Queuille says the Com
munists should make an advance,
but 1T will be more apparent
than real" He predicts the elec-
ton will be won by the Radicals,

now small, the church has
been completely re-decorated, a
new basement was laid and a
new carpet purchased for the in
terror.
An interesting program has
been perpared by the congrega-
tion and it is expected that a
large crowd of former members
and ministers will return for this
service.
The history of Ragan's Chapel
dates back to Nov. 2, 1880, when
Rev. Jacob Myers and A. H. BaS-
sett were serving on the Cam
bridge circuit and came down to
the Hoskinsville community.
Meetings were held in a farm
house, just back of the Hoskins-
vile school house.
In the fall of 1882, Rev. Jacob
Ragan was appointed to the
Cambridge circuit by the Pitts
burgh conference. His first work
on coming to Hoskinsville was
to organize a church and arrange
for the construction of a build
ing, which was erected during
his pastorate between the fall of
1882 and 1884. The church was
named after Rev. Ragan. The
construction was of brick and the
contract was let to Waterman
Burilngame.
plain glass was used for light
ing the church by day and can
dies and lard oil for night light
ing, everybody taking a candle
to help light the church, ac-
cording to the late S. B. Racey,
who compiled the first history.
The new church was dedicated
by Rev George Brown, D. D.,
president of the conference. Rev.
.Ragan died while serving on this
work, Oct, 3, 1884 and was bur
led in the Old Town cemetery on
South Eighth street, Cambridge.
He was succeeded by Rev. Dob
bins.
The most pecent pastors at
Ragan's Chapel include Rev. c.
w. Cartwright, Rev. Clair Gray,
RevAJ. B. MCGEE and Rev. Tul-
ga, who has served in this capac-
ity for the past several years.
1t is interesting to note that
Rev. ]. P. King, who served as
pastor in 1870, was the grand
father of Mrs. c. A. Tulga, the
present minister's wife.
