The entire length of the cross

There are less accidents at cross

Local Minister Talks To Rotarians On
World Council Of Churches Conference

The weekly dinner meeting of
the Rotary club was held Monday
at six O'Clock in the High School
cafeteria, cl ub president S. M.
Roper presiding. o. T Richards
of High Shoals was guest.
A. B. Clayton, program leader
was absent due to illness and Rev.
Cecil Hefner was called upon to
give a talk on his experiences and
impressions gathered in attending
the World Council of Churches
conference in Evanston. Ill. Au-
gust 1871.
At this great conference, Rev
Hefner pointed out, were 600 dele
gates from 48 nations and con-
tinentS. 168 denominations were
represented among the 600 dele
gates. with the latter representing
ITO, 100000 Christians throughout
the world.
COUNCIL AIMS
The Lincolnton minister, pastor
of First Methodist church, relat-
ed that this great meeting OF
church leaders of the world re-
vealed to him a trend today to-
wards unity of purpose and not
conformity to a set pattern OF
religious belief. He stated that the
World Council of Churches was
trying to 'grapple with the daily
values of man, not only his spirit
ual welfare. but also his social
and economic well being" A ma
jor objective of the World Council
he pointed out, was to try and
relieve suffering and disease and
to help those people in the back
ward countries of the world.
Rev. Hefner told of the Mighty
Festival of Faith he attended dur
ing the conference at vast Soldier
Field in Chicago. A crowd of 1885,
900 Christians attended this event
which featured a pageant which
5000 Christians participated. This
was the most moving and inspiring
drama I have ever witnessed" the
speaker said He was impressed by
the good order and reverence o1
the 125,000 people during the fes-
tival program.

North CoroIino Corn
Crop Is Est;moted At
54,4o4, 900 Bushels

RALEIGH - The 1854 North
Carolina corn crop is estimated at
54.494,000 bushels, the smallest
since 1914, the Mort h Carolina
Crop Reporting Service said today.
Sept. / prospects point to an
average yield of 25.5 bushels per
acre, lower than any year since
1945 when the average was 25
bushels. The dry weather has been
particularly damaging to the crop
in most Piedmont counties.
Tar Heel hay crop prospects de-
clined further during August. The
total production is estimated at
100000 tons, drop of 10000
tons from the Aug. l estimate and
$4,000 tons less than the pros
poets July l.
The peanut crop is estimated at
26l ,950,000 pounds, per cent be-
low last years crop of 270,810.00
pounds. Current prospectst indi-
cate a yield of 1850 pounds per
acre, the second highest yield on
record, being exceeded only by
1852 when the average was l.
500.

Nationally, leaders of both par

into this project"
Captain Lloyd Storey, head of
the Michigan City Traffic Depart
ment, also commented: The reac-
ton was spontaneous and amaZ-
ing. Over the first three-day Pc
riod, $3.50 of all the people using
the crosswalks walked only on the
green "Walk" signal. Prior to this,
only about 500 to 1870 had re-
garded the light. After seeing this
in operation, | know that Walk
On The Green is the only way to
establish crosswalks in a manner
that will continue to protect the
pedestrian"
Other cities have adopted the
campaign in their town. First re-
action came from towns close to
Michigan City - LaPorte, Gary,
Goshen and Elkhart.
The idea leapfrogged into Mich
igan at Benton Harbor and Lam
sing. The Michigan State Highway
Department gave their approval
for any streets maintained by the
state. And inquiries have been re-
ceived from Marion, Illinois, and
Montclaire, New Jersey.

COUNTRY FUNERAL
The humble country preacher
stood
With open book behind the
desk,
His words came forth SO kind and
good
And seemed to bring the people
rest.
He read the scriptures first, then
prayed:
He tried to take the grief
away
That filled the hearts of those who
cried,
The grief that seemed to stay.
He spoke of Heaven and its light,
And couseled those who would
enjoy
The favorS of the land beyond,
It's merits in this earth employ.
They said he was not a college
man"
Though he could speak h S
words precise;
But more than a job had he
I saw the tears that filled his
eyes.

CHICAGO = The nations larg-
est civil rights organization called
this week for Intervention by Pres
ident Eisenhower and u. S. AttOr-
ney General Brownell to protect
the lives and property of six Negro
families in public housing project
here. The Negro tenants, residents
of federally-owned Trumbuu Park
Homes, have been subject to con-
slant bombing attack and other
acts of laWleSS violence agaist them
since they moved into the project
several months ago.
In messages sent to President Eli
senhower and Attorney Brownell,
the Chicago branch of the Nation
al Association for the Advancement
of Colored People pointed out that
the rights of American Negro citi-
zens living on US. property are be-
ling violated, and urged federal
intervention" to the end that these
violations cease and that the rights
of the Negroes involved or who
might be involved be protected and
extended"
The NAACP this week also
asked action from Illinois Governor
Stratton and Chicago Mayor Ken
nelly to help put an end to the
housing violence.

BEAUTY AND YOU

@. Can you suggest good emer-
gency treatment for bringing life
back to pale and Wan-lOOking
face?
A. Try pouring few drops of
cologne over piece of gauze and
patting this lightly over the face
and this should help revitalize your
face. A bath of tepid water, with
out soap, followed by a dash of
cold water, also helps call the color
back to the face.
@. What is the best rouge place.
ment for the very short face-type? ?
A. You will add the illusion of
length if you place your rouge
spot as high as possible on the
cheek, and blend it carefully out
ward from the rouge spot.
@. What exercise will help to
reduce very thick ankles?
A. A very simple, but effective,
one is merely to stand and raise
yourself up and down on your toes
IS or 20 times, and repeat this pc
riodically throughout the day.

Federal Intervention Asked
To Que|I Housing Fight

tt requested the Governor to an
nounce publicly that he will fur
nish state troops if necessary to
"quell any riotous disturbances re-
sulting from Negro citizens exer-
cising their legal rights to move
into any section of the City of Chi
cago."
1T is our belief that such an an
nouncement by the Governor OF
the State would constitute a
marked deterrent to the forces of
laWlessness and violence in this
and other areas of the city," the
message added.
A letter sent to Mayor Kennedy
reiterated a request for an N. A.
A. c.. P. conference with him on
the Trumble Park Homes situation,
and. asserted that repeated at
tacks, bigoted attitudes and acts of
violence against Negroes in the
project" continue without "effec-
tive preventive and counter meas
ures being taken by the City of
Chicago"
Lack of action on the part of
city officials and continued 81

munication said, "can only lend
hope and encouragement to the
