so much can be done with 50 little if there
is the will to do it. While riding out the
highway to Hampden-Sy sydney that thought
came to Us. For number of years we have
suggested that the garden clubs or the home
demonstration clubs consider AS project
landscaping the highway between Farm
Vile and Hampden- Sydney. Native shrubs
could be used at selected points on this road
and make a number of attractive spots. The
roadside is very we'll kept now. The people
living on it show an interest in their lawns
and farms. Ii a vista Of blooming shrubs. or
flowers would greet the eye as the traveller
rounded several Of the curves. we believe
the impression would be lasting. AT any
rate we still hope some group will start
planning and will carry the plans to
fruition.
One of the spots in the county with the
greatest possibilities is the setting at Mercy
Seat church, where three county roads
form a triangle in the center of which is
the church and the cemetery. With little
money and much labor. this spot could be

Redemption For All

If this were all that could be
said. we Of the human race would
be in hopeless hole. As Paul
shows, the fact that God treats all
men alike in the long run. is no
comfort al all: it only means that
the verdict Guilty must be pro-
nounced on US all Comparing what
we are with what We ought to be,
not even we ourselves can hon
estly say much for ourselves. If
God righteousness We're moth
ing but an even handed justice. it
wouls be q soaring fame. But
1t is more The other way God
shows His righteousness is in His
mercy, y His coming to us in
Christ He has made salvation
that is, the setting-free from the
deadly Whirling wheeling Of sin and
destruction He made this free to
all He forces mercy on no one. But
if He offered mercy and forgive
ness only TO selected few or for
that matter, only to selected
many-then~ while He might be
called merciful He could hardly
be called righteous. If God saved
everyone regardless He would
still not be righteous. He saves
those who have faith. that is. those
who humbly accept what they real
ize they can never earn the trans
forming love Of God. For one Of the
glorious things about GOD is
that He is not only righteous-He
shares His righteousness.

Gainsford Won Urge
Robinson Comeback
By the Assoeioted Press

BOSTON, Oct. 29-Sugar Ray
Robinson must decide for him.
self about making a boxing
comeback. George GainSford,
manager of the former welter-
weight and middleweight cham
pion, said today.
And as for those rumorS that
the International Boxing Club
would guarantee Robinson $780,
900 or $350,000 to try to get
back his title, Harry Markson,
managing director of the IBC,
Scotched them yesterday.
Figure it out for yourself" T"
Markson said in New York. IF
he fought Bobo Olson, the champ
would have to get at least the
same money. At 80 per cent
each, the fight would have to
gross $1,400,0OO, considering
taxes, to give Robinson $500, 900.
We might do that outdoors, if
Rocky Marciano fought some
good boy on the same card"
Il have been asked by both
Jim Norris and Markson to talk
to Ray about returning to the
ring, but I'm not going to do
So" GainSford said.
If Ray decided to return to
the ring after I had talked to
him, I'd be called a money
hungry manager" Gainsford
added.
Gainsford expressed doubt
that Robinson would give up his
transforming dancing act to re-
turn to the ring. Robinson ap-

CosteIIoni, Modest in Beating
Laurent, Wants Crack at Olson

Laurent found the Clevelander's
defense almost a stone wall. In
turn, the Frenchman was ripped
with underhand rights to the
body and hooks and jabs to the
head. After the first round,
there wasn't a single time when
he appeared to have a chance of
winning.
Despite the unevenness and
the punishment, the stocky visi-
tor moved forward with arms
swinging, ready to take the best
Castellani had to offer.
In the latter rounds, Castel-
lani seemed content to coast to
a decision. Laurent opened a
deep cut over Castellani's eye in
the ninth-Castellani said it was
a butt and stormed back angrily.
A crowd of 4.686 paid $9,366 to
see the nationally-televised bout
in Cleveland Arena. Referee
Tony La Branch scored it Col i,
Judge Herb Williams, 8-0-2. and
Judge Charley Bill, $40.
Laurent. at 1882, had half
pound weight edge.
