born with a silver spoon in his
mouth and who became a highly
successful lawyer, expressed his
philosophy in his acceptance
speech when he said, "We do not

"But we do want to make sure

New Orleans
Adventists To
Move Into New
Church
BY James B. LaFourche


NEW ORLEANS (ANP)- A
20 year dream will come to life
in May when the congregation Of
500 members of the Ephesus
Seventh Day Adventist church
here march into their new $780,
900 church building.
After three years Of toll and
sacrifice onthe part of it's men,
bers, who were determined to
build their new church on a pay
as-you-go plan, the edifice is rap
idlye nearing completion.
With only $4,000 in the build
ing fund treasury of 1916, their
energetic young pastor, w. S.
Lee, launched the largest church
building project ever seen in this
city.
Taking upon himsif the respon-
sibility of a contractor, Elder Lee
Immediately launched his program
and with the full support and CO.
| %operation of the members he went
forward with the erecting of the
church.
Several drives were launched
throughout the three year span,
along with some assistance from
the Southwest mission. The Gen
eral Conference of Seventh Day
Adventists, and Southwestern

Rev. W Jernagin
Receives Warm
Wn1cOme


WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
Rev. w. H.. Jernagin, the 8O-year
old pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist
church, received a warm-welcome-
home reception at his church last
Thursday night, upon his arrival
from a five-week visit to Europe
and Africa.
Arriving in New York by plane
Thursday morning, the venerable
minister was met there by his
wife, and together they continued
their journey to Washington by
train. He was ushered directly to
his church where the members
had gathered to extend their greet
ings for his safe return, and to
express admiration for his courage

1t is with this in mind that the
EXPRESS reminds it's readers
that this is Negro Health Week.
Our health is onr most precious
possession. Without it, everything
else in life seems empty and
meaningless.
The Negro people residing at
the base of American economy,
also reside at the bottom of the
nations health ladder. This is
not because Negroes r by ma
ture less healthy, but because pow
erty breeds disease.
But there are many ways by
which we a improve the condi-
tons which are conductive to the
spread of diseases. For example,
moderation in the use of alcoholic
beverages, cigarettes and the like.
Thse habit-forming things operate
in tn body in such a way as to
lower the resistance of the body
against disease germs.
Parents should take more care
to protect their young one against
the ravages Of such dread diseases
as polio. A constant flood Of lit
erature is deluged on the public
explaining the facts of polio, the
optimum conditions under which
it seems to attack young child
rem.
Further, there is much literature
available on cancer, tuberculosis,
and venereal diseases. Every one
should avail thmselves of this
literature. Most important, at the
first sign that the system is not
functioning normally a physician
should be Immediately consulted.
But even if everything appears
normal, it is a wise thing to get
a physical check-up periodically.

Week

This week, April 2 to April 9, is being observed
nationally as Negro Health Week.
Observing weeks often appears a bit super
fluous. Yet they must serve some purpose, for each year,
it seems, more and more of them are observed. One ad-
vantage in observing these periods is that people are
made aware of certain needs or shortcomings by means
of the publicity surrounding the observations.

union which brought in a total of
$42, 900 to Dec. 1949. A $40 a
month club was the main artery
through which most of the $685.
900 raised by the members, flow
ed.
Along with the able assistance
of their leader, the men of the
church gave all their support on
week ends, to lower the cost of
labor. Bricklayers cement finish
ers, carpenters and electricians,
were among the men of the
church, who contributed freely of
their time. The women of the.
church did their part by provid-
ing meals for the men while they
worked.
An example of the kind of CO.
operation onthe part of the mem
bers was see in the erecting of
the steel beams for the roof. In
two week ends, a total of IL steel
beams each weighing over 1900
pounds were hoisted by the men
onto the roof saving the church
over 5000.
The church is modernistic in de-
sign. SPECIAL features about the
building which will make it the
most modern church in the city
will bea glass inclosed crying room
for mothers with babies. An ell
evated baptism pool above the
rostrum, which will enable the
entire congregation to see the
ceremonies without difficulty.
Special art glass windows will
surround the building. A large
stained glass window ofthe bap-
tism of Christ will be above the
pool. The main floor and balcony
will seat over 700. The basement
contains a kitchen, dining room,
treasurer's room and other aux
iliary rooms. There is hot and
cold water throughout the build
ing.
Although Elder Lee, has built
other churches, this will be his
largest. Because ofthe tenure of
office policy that is held by the
Seventh Day Adventist denomina-
ton, Elder Lee has accepted a
call to New York iCty. He will
begin his partoral work there, at
the helm ofthe Esphesus S. D. A.
church about June /.
The grand opening date here is
May 20.

What does the G. 1. Mill Farm
training program mean to the
nation?
According to surveys recently
compiled by the Veterans Admin
istration, the training has had
a far-reaching impact on veterans
in agriculture.
1t has furnished them with ar
impetus to buy, rent or lease theii
own farms. In many areas 1T has
helped to boost farm income. II
has led to increased farm produc-
ton and to extensive soil conser-
walton activities. And, it has en-
couraged farm improvements to
make for better living.
In Idaho, tor example, farm
owners and managers actually
were in a minority three years age
constituting only As per cent Of
all trainees. But on September ]
of this year the group made ur

Plenty of entertain inent is packed into the film, which sustains interest from the opening scene to it's surprise climax.

He gives a grand performance as the excltable, cigar putting manager who has his hands full when his fighter wants to give up boxing.

He planes himself for the death of an oppo- nent who expires after being knocked out in a bout with Joe When it is discovered that the fighter was actually murdered. the plot thickens as the champ and his pals try to unravel the crime.
