British CIeriics Write
Pope voicing Demand
For Assumption Proof
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Oct. 28.-The Prot
estant Alliance today made an
offer to Pope Plus XII to embrace
the Roman Catholic faith if he
could prove by the Bible the bodily
assumption Of the Virgin Mary. as
well as "the other errors of your
church"
The Pope on November will
proclaim the new dogma that the
mother of Christ ascended physi-
cally as we'll as spiritually to
Heaven. .....
The proposed new dogma has
drawn sharply edged criticism
from leading churchmen of the
Church of England in Britain.
Breach Seen Widening.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
and other leading Protestant &c
cleSiastics have asserted, as the
Protestant Alliance did yesterday,
that the dogma will widen the
breach between Rome and Can
terbury.
The alliance, one of the oldest
Protestant church societies in
Britain, wrote letter to the Pope
which made no attempt to gloss
over its uncompromising opposi-
ton.
"If," it said, you will show us
the Scripture for the bodily as
sumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary and the other errors of
your church we will embrace
your church"
Clerics Sign Letter.
The letter was signed by r.
Moffat Gillon of the Scottish Ref
ormation Society, T. r. Horan of
the Irish Church Missions. j. A..
Kensit of the Protestant Truth
Society, Norman Porter of the Ma
tional Union of Protestants of
Ireland. and o. T. Taylor, secre-
tary of the alliance.
The alliance, founded in 1845
by the great English reformer
Earl SALISBURY, claims a mem
bership Of between 10000 and
10000. Its influence in church
affairs. despite its size, is consid-
cradle.
It said there was no proof of
the new doctrine in the Bible,
that there, is no trace of it in the
history of the Christian church
for the first three centuries and
that 1t is not mentioned in the
three early creeds of the Catholic |
Church.
The alliance has called for
day Of prayer October 80 and has
summoned a public meeting to
discuss the new doctrine.

Marine Captain Named First
1850 Pedestrian of the Week

Possibly the most surprised pc.
destrian in Washington yesterday
was Marine Capt. Russell E. Nc
Creery. who crossed F street with
his wife and daughter and thus
became the Districts first Pedes-
trian of the Week for 1850.
For Capt. McCreery, it was ar
exhilarating experience to be ac-
costed by policeman and handed
a large bouquet. In for the day
from Quantico, Va. he and his
wife. Genevieve, and their 3-year-
old daughter, Catherine Anne
were walking up Eleventh street
at the time, on their way to do
a bit of shopping.
The honor of picking the lucky
pedestrian fell to Pvt. Isadore
Fein, on duty at the intersection.
Waited for Light.
II noticed when they started
across the street, they made very
sure to wait for the light" he
said. Il guess it was the way they
both held onto the little girl that
really clinched it,
When they arrived on the north
west corner, Pvt. Fein tapped the
officer on the shoulder and an
nounced: you're 1t, buddy"
Glad to be here" replied the
aStonished Marine as photogra-
pliers, reporters and representa-
tives of the District Traffic De-
partment closed in.
The traffic officials explained
that one pedestrian will be selected
each week from now until Christ
mas to bring home to the public
the Importance of observing safety

Farm Bureau Sets
Membership Goal AT
ABS For Holmes

The Mississippi Farm Bureau
has laid plans for a statewide
membership campaign during
1851, with $4,000 members as the
goal. The 1851 quota for Holmes
county is 435 members of the
Farm Bureau.
There are, according to the 1945
census, 1855 white farmers in
Holmes county. OF these, 228 are
now member of the Farm Bu-
reau. 207 new members mr~,te
enlisted in order to re~acfarthe
quota set by the state bureau.
Plans for the membership cam,
paign were adopted and put into
the first phases of operation on
September IL as the new twenty
member board of directors of the
Mississippi Farm Bureau met to
plan the 1851 program of work.
The opening guns of the campaign
are being fired in a series of 20
district meetings.
According to the last available
farm census there are l21,2l5
white farm families and approx
mately the same number of col
ored families in the state.
"The success or failure of the
entire drive rests on two things"
said Boswell S'evens, president of
the M. F. B. F., land those are,
first. that careful, detailed, and
ample planning be done at the
county and community level, and
most important, that enough farm
ers team up and go out to see
the 121, 900 families and invite
them to join. We can get $4,000
members in one week if fifty
workers in each county will get
ten members EACH"

Current Farm Situation
Discussed By Smith
Cotton Executive
Gives Personal Views
On Year Ahead

The situation of the farmer I'M
der current conditions was dis
cussed by c. C. Smith, executive
assistant of the Staple Cotton AS
ISOLATION of Greenwood, in a
speech Tuesday at the Lexington
Rotary Club.
Mr.. Smith was presented by H.
L.. Nichols, program chairman.
He said the farmer generally
was in a fairly favorable position
if he can produce.
/. The speaker said it was his per-
sonal belief there would be no
acreage control on cotton for next
year and the loan, he thought,
would be about 80 per cent which
would mean 80 to 80 per cent
cotton.
Mr.. Smith emphasized that he
would not advise any farmer to
pillow up any pastures to grow cot
ton Nor would he recommend
going into debt and taking on ad-
ditional burdens of labor and ma
chinery. Instead, he said, he
would advise them to grow all the
cotton they could with the labor
and machinery they had - but to
be sure they could cultivate and
harvest it before they attempted
a larger crop.
Mr.. Smith predicted fertilizer
would be difficult to get with
mixed fertilizers a little less diff
ficult.
There is a wonderful soybean
crop in this district, Mr.. Smith
said, if it could be harvested.
Guests at Tuesdays meeting
were the Rev. Hayes Clark, guest
of T. A. Lail. Mayor r. E. McNeer
of Durant, guest of President Nor
man Weathersby, DR.. w. D. Sta
pies, guest of Herman Flowers,

ma guests Of H. L. Nichols.
