would reign over the face of the
earth. :" the church leader de-
clared.
Earlier, Elder D. Arthur Dalai

view and Herald, the church pub

of the world today is the need for
young men and women who will
forget the alluring vices of the
world and who will fire themselves
with the vision of Christ as the
worlds redeemer."
Young men and women will
have to abandon their habits of
drinking. smoking and immorali-
ty," he asserted.
Today's session will be high
lighted by selection of a commit
tee to nominate new conference

From the legend sprang the Gus
tom of having the winner each
year crown his queen of love and
beauty"
Odds-on-favorite to wear the
crown this year is Mrs. Louis K.
Proctor, of Millboro. Her 32-year-
old husband has won every year
since 1886, with, the exception Of
four war years and in 1913.
This year, at last, the joust will
provide an extra attraction. It's
the "jeep-joust" in which a
lancer mounted on sawhorSe in
the back of a jeep tries to spear
the rings while his driver covers
the course in three seconds. Horse
men are given eight seconds.

of the warning signs on the
approaches to poliO-stricken
Wytheville. In the car are his
wife and 4-year-old daughter
Sandra. The Seays decided to
go through Wytheville without
stopping.
hind the counters in the stores
are not as chatty with the
stranger as they might be. One
hardly ever sees children on the
street.
Many people sent their children
out of town. Some were away on
vacation and did not come back.
In a little walk about the town
one encounters the Rev. Conrad
Weykel, pastor of the Methodist
church, the largest congregation
in town, sitting in shirt sieeves
on his wide front porch on Church
street.
You know" he says in the
course of chat, "a great many
parents told me that they were
not going to send their children
out of town-that it would be
unfair to other communities.
They said if their children lived
through this they would probably
have immunity from the disease
for the rest of their lives"
Neighbors' Attitude Resented.
The Wytheville people also re-
sent attitudes discovered in their
neighboring communities. 1t was
not only the ball players who en-
countered difficulty. There are
quite a few Wytheville men who
travel the western counties of the
State in their regular routine of
business. They found themselves
victims of a mass hysteria. Grown
men would not talk to them.
In Pulaski County, which lies
east of Wytheville on the route
of the ambulanceS speeding chill
dren to the hospital at Roanoke,
very unusual ordinance was
passed. It made it a violation for
an ambulance passing through
the county to stop.
Articles appeared in the Roa-
noke papers from country CORE
spondents in the neighboring COM
munities stating that the mer-
chants did not want Wythe Coun-
ty people to trade with them.
The dateline, "Wytheville," in
the city papers is likely to suggest
] a backward hill community.
