Has Martin Trouble

Ruffin Pendergraft reports bad
rews about the purple martins he
induced to nest in gourds at his place
last year after 25 years Of unsuccess-
full efforts TO attract them. he says
the martins returned this spring but
that their eggs are being carried
from the gourds by English sparrcws
as fast as they are laid
Determined to protect the martins
that ne worked 80 long to get, Mr..
Pendergraft has stationed himself in
a chair under a shady tree near his
martin pole in an effort to keep the
sparrows away. He said yesterday
that a small boy had recently been
shooting at birds in his nelghborhood
and that he feared this boy might
also drive away or kill the martins.
Dir Pendergraft, who lives just be-
yond Brady's on the Durham road,
has the nearest martin colony to
Chapel Hill A number Of Chapel Hill
people have been trying. without any
success. to get martins. The latest
ones TO put up martin gourds on their
property are Mrs. Irene Lee and DR..

In Gods sight all men are guilty - desperately and hope
lessly guilty. The Bible says: There is not a just man on
earth that doeth good and sinneth not" And again: There
is no difference, for all have sinned."
If, as the Bible says, in Gods sight there are no innocent
people in this world, then, of course, there i, no point to the
statement, "all innocent people go to heaven"
But the Bible does tell us how guilty people get to heaven.
They get there by the road of repentance and faith - faith
in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who died to atone for the
sins of all mankind.
Only those who trust in Christ as their personal Savior
are declared innocent in the sight of the divine Judge. That
is what the Bible means when it says: There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" The
supreme question for every man, then, is - am l Tin Chrst"3
Are you?

SmuggIers Mute Squeals
OF Pigs to Aid Business

BRUSSELS.-Hundreds Of drunk
en- pigs and stocking-footed cattle
have been smuggled across the
Dutch border into Belgium within
the past two years.
Illegal traffic in noisy livestock
is a difficult profession, when they
must be slipped by night across
the closely guarded frontiers OF
Holland and Belgium. Hooves OF
cattle are muffled with heavy bur-
lap socks, and to prevent moolng
their mouths are smeared with
soap, which has an attraction for
the cattle's ~tastebuds. Rather than
noe the animals constantly hck
the substance.
Belgians buy their cattle and pise
in Holland with cheaply,acqulred
florins, get them across the border
unseen by customs officials and re-
sell them here for Belgian francs.
The equipment for silencing cows
is less expensive than getting the
pigs drunk. Crude alcohol is fed to
the porkers which then T jammed
by threes into knapsacks to be
carried "piggy-back" across the
border for fattening.

Oregon's Pension Plan
Perils States Finances

SALEM, ORE.-Red-faced Ore
gonians who found out-too late
they had voted themselves into a
financial dungeon, looked to the
courts and the State legislature to
bail them out.
The O%regonians gave humping
approval at the polls to a $50
monthly old-age pension plan - to
be paid to men over IS and women
over 60 regardless Of the recipients
need.
At once bond companies with
drew bids on two million dollars in
State bonds.
1.-The State is a poor risk. It's
darned near insolvent," n invest
ment expert explained.
Startled Oregonians then learned
their pension plan might cost as
much as nine million dollars month
1y--three times what the State
spends now on all its activities.
Furthermore, no provision had been
made to finance the pensions.
The State Public Welfare COM
mission announced it will send out
no further old-age assistance checks
until the new law is clarified.

Man Who Regained Sight
Saws It's Like New Life

NEW YORK.-A 40-year-old man
who regained his sight after two
years says "it was like being born
again"
Carl Klein, a naturalist, blind for
two years, awoke one morning
with "a terrific headache"
1T saw dots flashing before my
eyes," he told newsmen. 1.-THE dots
merged into circles and, as the
circles broke, vision came back to
my eyes.
IT was afraid and did not know
what to expect. I realized 1 saw
light and I went to the window and
gradually street lights took shape"
He had been a student at the
Brooklyn Industrial School for the
Blind for about two months. A
school official said a blood clot al
fecting an optic nerve might have
caused the blindness. He said
Klein had recovered about one-half
normal vision.
Klein's first wish was ito go
to a park and be able to look at
trees, birds and nature"

US. War Dead Buri0!
Sites May Not Open
Visitors UntI|5O

PARIS. - Permanent burial OF
thousands of American World War
II dead in 10 western European
cemeteries will be accomplished
by the end of this year, but the ac-
tual completion and opening Of. the
interment sites to visitors may not
come until a later date, said a us.
Army spokesman here.
The American graves registra-
ton command has responsibility
for the permanent burials. When
this phase is finished the jurisdic-
ton of the grounds will be handed
over to the American Battle Monu-
ments commission, which is the
civilian agency that cares for
World War 1 cemeteries and
memorials.
Somewhat identical arrange
ments are being made for the
Pacific and Mediterranean war
areas, where the two government
units are carrying out a similar
program. In Europe, both have
headquarters in Paris.
Plans submitted by private archi-
tects for grave markers, chapels,
and other cemetery buildings are
now being studied in Washington
by the battle monuments commits
sion. Until the work is completed,
the cemeteries will remain closed
to the public.
This means that many Ameri-
cans who planned to visit graves
of sons or husbands in the sum-
mer of 1949 may have to wait un-
til 1850 or longer.
Since last September 20, when
the last Of the original 81 temper
airy World War II cemeteries in

defendant WENT TO Heaven"

A circuit judge of St. Louis recently
wrote on his docket: "The case is dis
missed by the state because the defendant
has died and gone to heaven"
When asked about the notation, the
judge explained in his best legal logic:
"Under the law, the defendant is pre-
sumed innocent until proved guilty. This
defendant was never brought to trial, so
he must be presumed innocent. And all
innocent people go to heaven"
AS logical as the judges reasoning may
have seemed to the court, he could hardly
have been more wrong. In Gods sight
there is no such thing as an innocent
person"
