Mother and Five Children
Burn to Death in Cottage;
Father and Son Escape

GLOUSTER, Ohio, "a fire,
spanked by coal oil poured on a
stove, flashed through a frame
cottage here Saturday and burned
to death a mother and five of her
six children.
Dead were Mrs. Garnet Rich
ards, Is, and her children Mildred,
8; Robert, s; Lawrence Ray, 4;
Freda Mae, 8; and William, 9
months.
The father, Lawrence Richards,
20, escaped from the house with
a son, Charles Edwin, 2, but suf-
fered burns on his back and arm.
The blaze singed the hair Of the
child who escaped.
Richards told Sheriff George
Bateman he was asleep when his
wife got up about Sis am. to
start fire in a stove in the bed
room. He said his wife started the
fire with coal oil, that he heard
a scream and then saw a flash.
The father said he grabbed the
child nearest him, Charles, and
ran outside the cottage. BY the
time he tried to get back inside,
he said, the flames had developed
the dwelling.

Local boys are liking the clever
ness of good pitching in baseball.
We recall one great star, Jack
Coombs, who pitched "a innings at
Boston on September 1, 1906, and
finally won the game A to 1 over
Boston. It was called the greatest
feat in the history of baseball no
matter where they tried out be-
fore.

The Easter season reminds us of
the gay boardwalk at Atlantic
City. All the smart new styles in
dress are shown as the walkers
promenade on the Main Street of
any town. Even the children joy
fully participate in the delightful
walks on Easter Day as each one
of them seems to think that their
outfit looks better and is better
than the one worn by somebody
else. Usually number of local
residents go to Atlantic City to
participate in the big parade that
includes the boardwalk but the
majority of them prefer to stay at

home and probably get as much
pleasure out of it at a reduced ex-
pense.
The beautiful spring weather
that prevailed on Easter Sunday
gave a real welcome to the heavy
attendance at church, and the oc-
casion was really happy one for
everybody. The choir rendered ap-
propriate selections and duet by
Mr.. and Mrs. James Doughten was
also an enjoyable feature. The
Rev. Henry M. Parks gave a fine
Easter sermon and his remarks on
the resurrection were timely and
highly interesting. His text was
1.-THE Power of Christs Resurrec-
ton" He said in part, '"The Chris
tian world it touching the greatest
element in Christ's life. BY power
we mean the fact of it, result of
it. Paul had a burning desire to
know this power. "That I might
know him and the power of his
resurrection" For us it is a power
over temptation and sin. By this
we too rise above sin. When we
lose ourselves in this faith we too,
have new life and hope. 1t is a life
worth living, or dying for. The
blessed experience of resurrected
life by the Grace of God. Even life
Eternal as the result of living for
God. This morning we look again
into the tomb; Christ is risen. His
promise to us "As I live we shall
live also" is a blessed certainty.
Death is merely a passage through
which we pass to the other world.
Body, soul and spirit united, our
life to be carried on to completion.

Unlike the Easter of old, more
people observe Good Friday than
ever before. Also, more people OBJ
served Easter in more pronounc-
ed style than has been the case
for years and years. In the old
days Mr.. George Shockley used to
travel any distance to be present
at the Easter service and, of
course, many more were like him.
But now, the attendance is sever
al times as large and apparently
no limit as to how extensive the
attendance will grow. At one Eas-
ter time we recall that the Rev.
Albert Chandler who was the loc-
al minister was preaching and he
brought tears to the eyes of the
entire morning service by paint
ing a picture of Heaven and ther
asking how many would get there.
His pathetic remarks had Won
derfully touching effect upon his
many listeners.
Again the people are asking
what has become of the nervy fell
low who used to go around town
and peek into the various gardens.
Apparently he had nothing to do
except to bother other people. His
technique was to look at garden
and then criticize whatever garden
he looked at. He used to do this
and finally he was called down by
the owners and they, of course,
had plenty to say to him. He was

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: How can l finance
a grain storage facility on my
farm?
ANSWER: The financing is
largely up to you and your source
of income. However, the Small
Business Administration, located
in Richmond, Va, does have funds
for such purposes. Such funds are
usually limited to so to 60 per cent
of the cost. Funds are available
also through the Commodity Cerd-
it Corporation for the construction
Of on-farm storage structures to
house the individual farmers
grain. Also, recent ruling allows
20 per cent depreciation rate for
federal income tax purposes on
storage facilities erected after De-
cember 81, 1852.
QUESTION: What minerals do
my dairy cows need?
ANSWER: There are 10 mineral
elements recognized as being re-
quired by animals. They are sod
ium, PHOSPHORUS, potassium, sui
phur, iron, copper, iodine, magan-
csc, zinc and cobalt, Fortunately,
many of these are present in any
good rations likely to be fed to
dairy cattle. The ones that may be
short in good rations and possibly
need to be added are sodium, chic
rine, calcium, PHOSPHORUS, copper,
iodine and cobalt. However, learn
the sources of the needed minerals
and don't waste money on those
that are not needed. But only those
that are not supplied in the feed.
QUESTION: What is the future
outlook for dairying in North Car
DINA?
ANSWER: Good, Commenting
on the milk surplus recently, a
dairy leader said, There's no such
thing as over-production of milk;
the problem is under-consump-
ton. This is true, and state and
national efforts are being made to
make daii., products more attrac-
tive. An ever-increasing popula-
ton will drink an ever-increasing
amount of milk.

Sinner friend, you may take the
step toward God today, for l am
telling you by the authority of
God that the day of all days is
coming and without you accept
Him while you have the chance,
YOU will have to spend eternity in
hell.
This sinful world can not give
you lasting joy, for it's pleasures
all fade away. You had better
build your hopes OH Heaven above
trusting the Savior. If you could
do as the Bird Chapter 5-6-7 verses
of Proverbs says, things will open
up Il new thought in your mind.
You can see men and women seek
ing after riches and worldly things
all which will fade AWAY.

spend eternity in hell.
We have only a short time here
on earth while we. stay, and we
should let each day count for God.
If our record is clear when our
Savior calls US, then on to Glory
we can go, shouting and praising
our dear Savior, and be with the
redeemed ones far beyond the sky.
If we, as Christians, would do
the little deeds that God has as
signed to us to do, then we would
try to lead lost sinners to the fold
of Christ which is the straight and
narrow way every day.
We are drawing nearer to our
journeys end and what a glad
morning that will be if our record
is spotless and not stained with
sin, but it will be a sad morning
if our record is not clean. So, sin
ner friend, while you have the
chance to accept God, you had
better get to work, for this is
only a dressing place down here
to get ready to meet God. So.
while you have the space and OPP
portunity, you had better accept
God, for in the judgment morning
you will need Him, for it is the
love of Jesus that makes our Joy
complete.
So, sinner friend, if ever in the
history of this old wicked world
you needed God, it is now. You
had better fall upon your knees
and pray, for this old wicked
world is rocking in sin. Nations
are disagreeing and forgetting
God. What if God should say time
shall be no more?
! Think of eternity, sinner friend.
May that thought come to your
mind today. Where shall spend
eternity-with God or in hell,
with the ones that forgot God?
Sinner friend, may this be the
turning place in your life and get
on that straight road that leads
to a never whitening glory. Then.
you, too, can walk the COLDER
streets of glory. How sweet twill
be then when we meet the ONES
we loved so much and ever live
in Gods eternal love around that
shining throne. There will be no
pain and sorrow there. All shall
be peace and gladness on that
eternal day.
Sinner friend, salvation is free.
1t costs you nothing but to put
your trust in God, but you can
look on the other side and sec the
deaths that sin is taking. going
into eternity unprepared to meet
God. So, while you have The
chance, accept Gods calling and
accept Him, for, as ! said in the
offset, you will need Him when
you come before the Judgment.
Please read ! Samuel 12:2l.

Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-02-17

Turn your face toward Heaven
and call on Jesus while He may
be heard, for Judgment day is
coming and it may not he long,
and you then will need the Lord.
If you will accept Christ now,
when the day comes, we can then
wing our way to that Heavenly
home of peace and happiness, Joy
and love, and shout in happiness
while the ages roll on and On.
If in sin you choose t. wander
on in life, the joys of Heaven you
can never share. Now, may you
think upon your way and see if
you are willing to face your he.
cord in which you live. May God
give you an understanding l.eart
that you may see your lost and
ruined condition before it is too
late.
May these few thoughts burn
their way into your heart that it
may make room for God to dwell
with you.

Huntsville Scores of rare

able pipes in the world, giant
meerschaum depicting the handing
Of Columbus. Made for exhibition
at the Chicago Worlds Fair of
1893, this huge, deliberately carved
pipe took two years to complete.
1t is valued at $4,000.
Prize items to feature the Coker
pipe show also include the unique

presidents series. The bowl Z
each Of these 80 meerschaums is
carved into the head of a different
American president. Complete from
George Washington to Herbert
Hoover, the series was conceived
by pipe dealer William Demuth in
1881 at the time of James A. Gar
fields inauguration.
Currently insured for $4,000,
the collection is becoming increas-
ingly irreplaceable and hence more
valuable. Pipe carving is more or
less art. Raw materials, especially
meerscaum and amber, are also
increasingly difficult to obtain.
