Optimism that the reorganiza-
ton plan for the District sent to
Congress by President Truman

pressed yesterday by Brig. Gen.

be two initial steps to be taken

cred fashion, he said.

Virginian 10 Try Again
For Extra Judgeship
BY the Associated Press

Another try at getting an extra
Federal judge for eastern Virginia
is being made by Representative
Hardy, Democrat of Virginia.
A compromise omnibus judge
ship bill is being prepared by the
House Judiciary Committee in
place of the measure rejected last
week by the House. Chairman
Celler. Democrat of New York, has
said this bill is due to be reported
out by the committee Thursday.
Mr.. Hardy told a reporter he
is seeking to have the committee
include a provision for the Vir-
ginia judgeship in the new bill.
Both Mr.. Hardy and Represen-
tative Gary. Democrat of Virginia,
had urged approval of a provision
in the defeated bill to give eastern
Virginia a third judge. This pro-
vision was not in the Senate
approved measure. They said the
extra judge is needed to relieve a
heavy workload on the present
judges sitting at Richmond, Alex
andria and Norfolk.
Mr.. Celler said the new COM
promise bill would differ from the
defeated measure principally in
the Presidents appointive
power temporary. This would put
over final appointments to most
of the proposed new judgeships
until after the November elections.
The House voted 165 to $50 to
return the bill to the Judiciary
Committee.

are simply few benches up front
facing the congregation. No one
is prohibited from using them:
but rather traditionally they are
occupied by certain mature
Friends, or those "who have often
had insights to share with the
group"
The early custom of men sitting
on one side of the aisle and
women on the other seems usually
to apply to the facing benches.
But over the Meeting House that
custom does not obtain. Whole
families often sit together. except
for the little children who are
cared for in the nursery room.
Around noon the Meeting was
brought to a close by a Friend on
the facing bench shaking hands
with the person next to him. Many
others also shook hands with
those next to them. In this way
the rise of the Meeting comes
each Sunday morning. Then an
nouncements of activities and in
terests follow as occasion needs.
What goes on during those Pc
riods of silence-Sometimes filling
almost the entire hour of worship
in the Friends Meeting? A
Quaker of long experience gives
this version:
"Some at first silently repeat a
prayer.
"The worshipper IS alone with
God. In the intimacy of silence
he can think back over the week
or day, and be thankful for those
parts of it which have been worth
while and worthy of his best. He
can be penitent for those parts
which have been seemingly worth
less and unworthy of him. He can
plan ahead for the day or week
or longer period to come. asking
for help in choosing right courses
and in living up to the highest ano
finest which he knows.
"In the silence one discovers
that God, too, speaks If we are
still and will listen to Him."

Methodists Confer
On Reorganization
OF Local Churches
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28.-
Recommendations for changes ir
the organization of every Metho-
dist Church in the country come
before the Methodist General
Conference today.
They are based on an eight
year study. They are not to be
confused with controversial sur
vey report which would revise
drastically the upper level of
church organization. Debate on
this issue is scheduled late today.
Bishop Costen j. Harrell of
Charlotte, N. c., who headed the
commission on the Local Church,
noted that the study "adheres to
the main line of our historical de-
velopment and suggests no radical
change in our established pattern" 4"
Official Board in Each Church,
I'VE are agreed" he said, "that
any attempt to reorganize the local
church on any other basis would
confuse our people and would not
serve the ends we have in view"
The commissions principal
recommendations:
l. Organization in every local
church of an official board and
four basic commissions (evan-
geilsm, missions. education and
flnance) and as many committees
as necessary, all subject to the
official board. The board would
be composed of the trustees, stew
ards elected by the quarterly con-
ference, and officers of the local
church and church organizat tions.
2. The quarterly conference
would function as the basic body
OF control in every local church
and as the link with connectional
MethodiSm.
Three Named From Each Side.
The sharpeSt battle since the
conference began Wednesday CEN
tered on the $240.00O survey on
Streamlining organization of the
church as whole. AS a result,
each side named three persons
to a committee to report today on
areas of agreement.
The survey calls for a new CO.
ordlnatlng council as the top ad-
ministrative body. The number of
church agencies and publications
would be slaShed and total board
and agency membership cut 20
per cent.
In an address last night, the
Rev. DR.. Ralph w. Sockman of
New. York told Methodists, IF
we support the church only as an
insurance for our property and
practice prayer only a a means
to success, then we are material
1stic, even as are the Communists" "
Points to Orient.
"The church," he said, must
rise above the current emphasis
on religion as security and revive
its original gospel of salvation.
We must see Korea and India not
as dikes to check the flood of
communism, but as lands where
needy members of Gods family
are to be served and saved"
He said the church must not
yield to the current temptation
to seek power and favor through
governmental means.
Political alliances between
church and state are being pro-
NOTED today in subtle ways of
subsidy and diplomacy" DR.. Sock
man said. Christ refused tenn
poral power So must His Church. j."

popular brand clothing for the
whole family and since that time
he has secured a vast number of
national brands, almost unequal.
ed anywhere in a town the size OF
Tabor City.
Perhaps the greatest compli'
ment that could be paid to his
establishment was quoted by one
of his competitors who said "Tab-
or City ought to be proud to have
a store like Schild's". This re-
mark came before his present re-
novation began, and was n refer
ence to the kind of merchandise
he handled. Now the same state
ment holds true both as to the
merchandise and to the store
building itself.
Schilds personally, is among
the most civic minded of loca'
businessmen. He always takes
his full share in the numerous
campaigns for funds that has be-
come almost a weekly affair. He
is a big booster for industry in
the community and for coopera-
ton among businessmen. Every
year he heads the United Jewish
Appeal drive in Tabor City.
Schild is married to the former

It's a long story, this tale of
how Albert Schild, businessman,
grew into what today amounts
to Tabor City's leading clothier
for men, women and children.
Albert and his brother Sam
came here in the middle of OF
the big depression of Hoover's
era. They first opened a store in
Fl, Mills, in 1929. Later Albert
had a store in Loris and then in
1880, they operated a store in
Tabor City known as the IS Cent
to $500 Store" This novelty store
that handled everything from
crayons to mems suits, was 10.
Gated just where the present day
Schilds Department store is 10.
Gated. Brother Sam once operat.
ed a store in the building cur.
rently housing Mears store. He
now operates Schild's in Conway.
In 1888, just about every store
in Tabor City handled the same
thing. That is, there were no true
department stores. Just about
everybody had some clothing and
then they had a lot of other stuff
too, and in reality every store
was a kind of old-time general
store.
Schilds broke away from this
tradition in 1933-34 and started
procuring nationally advertised

FOR A SAFE KITCHEN
In the kitchen where most
home accidents occur, cleanliness
and orderliness are important,
both from accident prevention as
well as health standpoint. When
it is necessary to reach high
shelves, a sturdy stool or short
stepladder is much safer and far
easier than boxes or chairs.
Disorderly housekeeping, poor
furniture arrangement, slippery
waxed floors, worn floor cover
ings, unanchored rugs or carpets,
neglected repairs, spilled liquids
or food, and dark or INSTRUCTED
passageways are other fall haz'
ards found in many homes.
