Silence and prayer is for
men; and for young men, too.
This was proven recently
when thirty-eight senior boys
of Rosary High school, Colum-
bus, went to the Diocesan Re-
treat House at the Shrine of
the Little Flower east of the
city, for the first closed retreat
to be made by young people
of a parochial high school of
the diocese, and the first such
conducted under the auspices OF
the Laymen's Retreat League.
The Holy Name Society of Holy
Rosary Parish gave financial
backing to the project.
One young man arrived early at
the Shrine, having 'thumbed his
way" Others begged rides with
classmates, while some asked their
parents to drive them out. All
came prepared for they knew not
what But they were determined to
follow the tradition of their elders
by keeping silence during the two
day period.
The spirit was one of relaxation
not as to summer resort; although
the Shrine in its spring beauty was
surprise to the boys almost all
of whom had never visited it. But
they came in sport clothes, dressed
to get away from the cares of their
busy senior year with its problems
which to them are just as serious
as those Of their fathers.
"6:30l Whewl"
Registration and room assign
ments came first. There were some
tasks, too. Servers for Mass, for
Benediction, leaders at morning
and night prayers, at the Rosary,
and reader at meals, were jobs
readily accepted.
A bell-ringer was needed. But
that schedule said that the rising
hour was $50 a. m. There were a
lot of "Whew's!" over that. Evi.
IDENTIFY the bell-ringer was to have
a serious job.
The schedule was still being
studied when the call for supper
came. The Sisters of st. Francis
at the Shrine had prepared a meal
that found ready acceptance by
boys appetites. They learned dur
ing the following two days that II
was to be no exception.
There to welcome the young men
was Father Edward Healey, dioce-
san director of retreats, who told
them of the serious spiritual work
they were beginning. Cornelius
Tracy, president OF the Laymen's
Retreat League; Ralph Kramer
secretary, and James Charles, for
mer president and member of the
Leagues advisory board, address
ed the retreatants. Monsignor FL
+. Mattingly, pastor of Holy Ros-
ary parish was also present.
That the young men had caught
the seriousness of the program was
evident when two asked TO be pIsc
ed in the same room because they
had both made up their minds 10
keep silence, and they did not wish
10 take . chance with anyone who
was not so resolved.
Ted Luke, class president, took
over as captain of the retreat, and
all things we're ready. Oh yes, a re.
treat master. The Rev. William
Diehl, S.J., was on hand from Chi.
cago to take over. And what q
splendid job he did! So the boys re
port, anyway.
The bell ringer summoned ali
for Benediction at 8 o'clock. This
was followed by night prayers and
the first Conference. Father Diehl
laid the foundation upon which he
and the boys we're to build through
two days of prayer, meditation and
instruction.
II wasn't easy to go to bed 50
early. But thought of that $50 ris

CHOIR GIVES RECITAL AT MT. ZION CHURCH

The Sunbeam Angelic

ing musical program at the
Mt. Zion A. M. E. church,

PRESS COMMENTS

is greater than denomina-
tionalism and that is the
segregated church. In spite
of it all the signs of the
times plainly show that in
the not too distant future
the segregated church, like
all forms of discrimination,
will be a thing of the past.
However, the picture is not
so bright on the matter of
denominationalism as was
plainly indicated by a group
Of peanut head ministers of
Orange Presbytery who GUS
ted their pastor because he
insisted that being a Chris
tian was more important
than being a Presbyterian.
There are some preachers
a type especially prevelant
among N egro preachers,
who sit up all night tearing
their hair and racking their
brain to prepare a discourse
entitled: "Why / am a Bap-
tist," why / am a Metho-
dist" or "Why l am a Pres
byterian," who would do far
better tearing their hair and
racking their brains on a dis
course entitled "Why T am
Not a Better Christian"
These little simpletons are
doing the cause of Christi
anity more harm than all
the Sunday baseball games
that afford one of the few
places in the South for a
brotherhood which is more
than the lip-service practice
of the ideal.
The big question that
looms before us now is
whether or not it wouldn't
be better to have more un-
segregated Sunday baseball
games and less segregated
Sunday church services.

Appalachian Building New Power
Plant On Kanawa River Site

The first turbo-genera
ting unit at the new Kanaw-
ha River Plant of Appala-
chan Electric Power Com
pany is now in service. The
100000 kilowatt unit, lar
gest reheat type generating
unit in service in the coun-
try, is feeding energy into
the seven-state transmission
network of the American
Gas and Electric System.
Appalachian is the largest
affiliate of A. G. E., which
serves almost 1900 communi-
ties.
The Kanawha River Plant
will serve not only the Kan
awha Valley, but Appalachi-
ans service area in West
Virginia and Virginia. In
addition, as one of the ma
jor plants of the intercon-
nected American Gas and
Electric System, the plant
also will serve the entire
system extending through
parts of seven states from
Lake Michigan to the Dor
der of North Carolina.
Construction on the first
of the two units began in
October, 1850. The second
unit is scheduled for opera
ton late in the fall of this
year. The cost of the 400,
600 kilowatt capacity plant
is estimated at $46,OO0,OOO.
The Kanawha River Plant is
part of an eight year ex-
pansion program begun by
Appalachian in 1947. In this
expansion program Appala-
chan will have spent over
$229-million by the end of
1854.

CHURCH VS.. BASEBALL

At Durham a few Sundays
ago two mixed baseball
teams engaged in a game at
the local league park. Both
teams had Negroes as mana
gers and captains, and the
umpires were all Negroes.
The game was well played
and enjoyed by white and
Negro spectators alike, who
sat wherever they cared to.
Because it was Sunday
there were no preachers and
prayer meeting Christians
present, but there was a lot
of the Christian spirit ex-
hibited by both players and
spectators. The fans, many
of whom went to church
that morning, probably got
a greater lesson in brother
hood than they got at their
churches which oppose the
idea of worshipping God to-
gether.
During the game we saw
a Negro player hurriedly
grab a glass and take a
drink of water. No sooner
had he set the glass down
than a white player grabbed
it and took a drink of water.
Those athletes could drink
water out of the same glass,
but few of our white and
Negro ministers would dare
take a Lords Supper togeth-
e rout of separate glasses.

There's no section of the country
which has a corner on the ingenuity
Of youth. Scattered throughout the
land are some 10000 All members
who participate in electrical projects
as one of their regular club activities.
Often electricity is tied in directly
with their other farm projects. In
doing so, many of the boys develop
new equipment or modify existing
machinery to help them speed up
their work, or to make it easier to do
and more economical. This was the
case with q 17-year-old Alabama
high school boy.
He and his father operate a small
farm, as well as conduct a small BUSH
ness to build and sell metal awnings.
AS "part-time" farmers they lean
heavily on electrical equipment to
help them with their chores. One of
these is raising beef and dairy cattle.
Buying ground feed seemed like q
waste Of money, particularly since
corn is grown-and could be ground
ON the home farm. The boy decided
to do something about it-and did.
What he devised is shown in con-
nection with this story. The young
ster calls 1t corn feed factory" The
unusual machine combines a corn
shelter and grinder. It is operated by
an electric motor and supplies enough
crushed feed for the entire herd. Ear
corn is inserted in the top Of the
machine and ground grain is chuted
out the bottom. The stripped ears fall
into a second chute and drop into q
sack on the side of the machine.

Embedding the la ties t
skllls in engineering, re-
search and design, this plant
will become one of the most
economical producers of
electricity in the nation. The
first 100000 XIV unit alone
is capable of providing
enough power, when opera
ting at full capacity, for
about 275,000 residential
customers with average de-
mandS.
The 100000 kilowatt plant
will burn about 100000
tons of coal a year. This
coal will come from South
ern West Virginia Coal
fields.
The 100000 tons of coal
used annually is the equiva-
lent to the output of 72O
miners, each working five
days a week for fifty weeks
and mining an average of
SIX tons a day. In wages for
the miners it represents So,
$4,000 for the year or an
average of $4,000 per man.
The coal will be consumed
in two massive boilers, None
for each unit. Each of the
boilers is 1913 feet high and
occupies a space Sc by 60
feet. They are equipped
with 2400 ton overhead coal
bunkers. The boilers will
operate at a steam pres
sure of 2,075 pounds per
