Rhodes-Ferguso
Feud Continues

COLUMBUS, April IL (INS)-
The Rhodes-Ferguson feud enter
ed another phase today as Column
bus Republican Mayor James A.
Rhodes virtually accusedDemocrat-
ic State Auditor Joseph T. Fergu-
son of denying his access to pub
lie records.
The two will be opposing can
didates for stateauditor in Nov
ember.
Rhodes renewed his request to
examine an additional 100 vouch-
ers dealing with the travelling ex-
penses of Ferguson, his son, and
two brothers on Ferguson's pay
roll. The Mayor said he had "rea-
son to belleve'' the vouchers had
been taken out of the files and
care now being scrutinized with
great care" by Ferguson before
permitting Rhodes access to them.
Ferguson for his part said that
Rhodes would be extended thesame
courtesies as given to "any citizen
of Ohio" but charged that Rhodes
was on a political fishing expedi-
ton"
Therefore, Ferguson said, he
would have to be assured that
Rhodes was asking for all the vou-
cheers he desired at one time be-
fore he could give the request
further consideration"

Don't be an
Amateur Mechanic

We never cease to wonder at
the man who will rush the family
car to the repair shop at the first
sound of IN engine sputter and
call in the heating expert, when
the oil burner acts up, and yet
when something goes wrong in his
own, infinitely more complicated
system, INDUCES in self-diagnosis
and home remedy. A small sore on
his lip land he applies salve
from the family medicine chest.
When the sore refuses to heal, he
-blames it on the salve and buys
another brand. Or maybe a mole
that he's had since childhoodstrats
changing in color or size. He
studies it in his mirrow while shay
ing and decides it's nothing to
worry about. They say thosethings
change as you get older"
His wife, who has the some re-
spect for engines and machines
and mechanical devices as her
husband, sends the vacuum clean
err out for repairs when it begins
to heat up. She pauses in her
household chores to rememberthat
she noticed a small lump in her
breast while dressing, and reminds
herself that she'd better look into
it one of these days 49,. that is,
if it doesn't go away "soon."

cause these are symptoms that
might mean cancer They do mean
an immediate visit to the doctor
for prompt diagnosis and, if can

the appalling loss of life to this,
the nations second chief killer
could be cut one-third today, if
men and women came to their
physicians in time. The American
Cancer Society lists the seven
danger signals of cancer that call
for prompt action on your part.
1. Any sore that does not heal.
2. A lump or thickening in the
breast or elsewhere.
3. Unusual bleeding or dis
charge.
4. Any change in a wart or
mole.
5. Persistent indigestion or diff
ficulty in swallowing.
g.. Persistent hoarseness or
cough.

7. Any change in normal bowel
habits.
An early visit to your doctor,
when any of these conditions is
evident, might make the difference
to you or your family or to re-
latives and friends between "cur-
ed" and Condemned" It's your
job to know and act upon these
danger signals. IF you can't re-
member them, cut them out and
paste them inside your medicine
cabinet.
At the first sign Of any of these
symptoms, take yourself down to

about it-your doctor. Give your

for us would have cost us at least
$20-$25. The friendliness shown us
by our hostesses and the citizens
we had the privilege of meeting
was far beyond the price in money.
They said to us by their kindnesses
that they were glad to have us
pass through their city. We shall
always carry in our hearts a warm
tender spot for this very lovely
little city that sits atop the Cum
berland Plateau. They call it 1.-The

of all the cities we passed through
none was quite SO high in courtesy
to us as was Crossville, Tenn. AS
this pastor and his family think of
vacations, motels, and meals Cross
vile win be on the top of the
list.

twelve would betray him. We
need to come to this holy exer-

purpose of his evil heart with
out regard for what the cost
might be to the Master.
At the evening worship hour
the pastor will speak on the SUBJ
ject: l Am Responsible. mo force

the eood that hes been ours in
the years we have lived we
are made debtors to God and to
those about us who were made

Local Minister Finds City
That Goes About For
Southern Hospitality
POLICEMAN STOPS
TOUCHTON FAMILY;
THEN SHOWS MANY
COURTESIES
By Rev. b. Paul Touehton


This summer at vacation time
my family and l travelled a little
more than 5000 miles by car.
States we touched outside of Flo
rida were Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Alabama. We enjoyed the
beauty of the mountains as well
as the vastneSS of the plains. Per-
haps the most exciting moment
came as the third day was inter-
rupted near its close by a police
man who asked us to stop. When
he came up to our car it was with
the reaSSuring words, Don't get
excited I'm not going to arrest you
we just want you to spend the
night with us and it won't cost
you a cent" We were one of
forty-seven carloads of tourists to
receive the courtesies of the lovely
little city of Crossville, Tenn.
For the next few hours we al
most had to pinch ourselves every
now and then to see if the various
courteSies shown us were really
ours and all for free. Two very
courteous hOSteSSeS awaited us at
the chamber of commerce They
showed us first of all the Lounge
operated by the Auxiliary of the
American Legion. / like to think
of this friendly courtesy to tourists
as a means of getting acquainted.
These enterprising people of Cross
vile are spreading Goodwill by en-
pertaining one carload of tourists
from each state in the union out
side of Tenn.
After refreshments at Bob Pal
mer's Drug Store our hostesses
took us to see a number of points
of interest in and around the city
The thing which most interested
us was the lovely churches and
schools. They also showed us the
mining interests where the beauti-
full building stone known as Grab
Orchard Stone" is mined. This
rock is shipped to many parts of
the world where it is used not only
for its good qualities as building
material but for the beautiful fin
ish that it leaves. We found also
that CrossvilIe is the home of an
advertising concern that reaches
into all parts of the world with
its advertisements of aeroplane
parts. II is the result of a boys
dream. The developer of the con-
Germ spent many hours as a child
studying magazines that carried
ads of aeroplane parts. He thought
once month was too long to wait
for those ads. so he developed
his own business that carries such
announcements to all parts of the
world three times month. This
concern known as Trade-a-Plane
has so grown that il has changed
the classification of the local post
office to a first class office. There
is now a sister company to adver-
tise earth moving equipment.
The courtesies of Crossville to
its tourist guests include the finest
food, entertainment, and rest, as
well as gasoline to help them a.
long their way. They told us that
some days before we enjoyed their
courtesies they entertained a bride
and groom.

Series OF Sermons On PRAYER
By Rev. Rogers To Start Sun.
AT First Presbyterian Church
"TEACH US TO
PRAY WILL BE
SUNDAY TOPIC

Sunday morning at the First
Presbyterian Church, White at
Washington Street, the Rev. Ralph
Rogers, Pastor of the Church, will
begin series of sermons on pray
er. The church services begin at
IL o'clock and the topic of the
first sermon will be, Teach us to
Pray"
AS Jesus endeavored to teach
his disciples in such manner that
they could carry on the evangelis-
tic program upon his death, he
found It very difficult task. His
was pitiful group of followers
somehow BELIEVING that Jesus
was the Messiah who would free
them from the Roman yoke. Like
too many folk in this generation,
they thought in terms of the pre-
sent with its disadvantages and
hopefully trusted that the Messiah
would lead the way out. All their
questions led to this conclusion and
it is remarkable that all but one
gradually awakened to the real
mission learning that it was to be
spiritual instead of material and
| physical.
One of the means of attaining
that power over all opposition was
through prayer. Jesus had repeat
eddy insisted that prayer was es-
sential for success IN this field of
endeavor. BY precept and example
Jesus showed them the way, but
even then they frankly said, Lord,
teach us to pray"
1t is quite likely that many
people are discouraged and disap-
pointed in their religious life, large
ly because they don't know
how to pray. Perhaps that is due
to the selfish nature of man want
ing something for nothing.
Petition then seems to be the
primary purpose of prayer from
a human point of view. We ask and
receive fav0rS from our heavenly
Father just as we do from our
earthly parents. The rabbis used
to teach that God must not be
fatigued with too frequent prayers.
Three times day was enough.
IF a man comes to address you
every hour, you say that he holds
you cheap: the same is true of
God, whom no man ought to fati-
que by praying every hour" Jesus
seemed to have a different idea
about this matter for he often and
frequently prayed for hours at a
time. He says that men fought
always to pray" and that there is
a certain answer to prayer if it
be only persistent enough. He also
gives assurance that God will main
tain his cause and that of his elect
against the adversary.
He also warns his deciples against
failure of faith in times of seeming
abandonment by God. James sums
it up by insisting that 1.-The fer
vent prayers of a righteous man
availeth much" Christian people
turn to ChriSt's instruction as to
how we should pray and those who
follow his example find victory and
peace in that it is His will.
Mrs. Ardelle Price will play for
the opening number Sunday Morn
ing Choral Prelude" by Kreckel.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
by Boa THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD Ri-Raoul Walsh,
who is celebrating 40 years In the
movie industry, admitted today
that he would rather direct actors
than actresses.
Walsh has long been known as
mans director" He has piloted
such rugged stars as Douglas Fair
banks Sr., Enrol Flynn, James
Cagney, Alan Ladd and Gregory
Peck. It's no mere accident that
he has specialized in male sub.
jects, he disclosed.
Women are too much trouble,
he said. "They arrive on the set
in the morning and they're con-
cerned about some dress they're
supposed TO wear. BY the time you

Walsh is not entirely anti.female
He gave Rita Hayworth her big
gest boost to fame in Strawberry
Blonde" But he Is more known
for finding and developing male
stars He took stunt man named
Duke Morrison, renamed him John
Wayne and starred him in The
Big Trall. "
The directors latest discovery
is q tall, good looking lad named
Rock Hudson. He played bit in
