sissippi. He received the infor-
nation that any layoffs usually
affected younger men-just the
kind the department is look
ing for.
Concentrates On East.
While Inspector Winfree is
canvassing the area east of the
Mississippi-he has sent out 1000
copies of the recruitment pamph-
let to places not covered by the
Civil Service Commision-he is
concentrating on the Is Eastern
States.
The Civil Service Commission
pamphlet contains eight pages of
information about service in the
department. which has a start
ing pay of $4,000 a year. The po-
liceman may work up to S4,641
after three years.
Police Chief Robert v. MURRAY,
who is leading the recruitment
endeavor, developed the idea of
sending teams out to nearby
States several years ago, but
this had to be discontinued when
the department at one time
found itself without sufficient
funds to cover it's authorized
strength.
Police officials are unable to
explain the difficulty in filling
out the ranks. But experience
has been that many men who
are able to pass the written
examination fail to meet physi-
cal requirements.
Former Commissioner F..
Joseph Donohue once protested
a requirement that new men,
berS of the force must have good
teeth.

In Mothers March
For Polio Funds

The Mothers March on Polio,
thousands strong, last night COL
lected more than sos, 900 be-
tween 7 and 8 pm. in the Dis
trict and Arlington County.
According to a count televised
over WMAL-TV, The Star sta
ton, volunteer collectors had
accumulated $4,000 in the Dis
trict with only one small area
still unreported.
Arlington County reported
$30.5O0.
Last year $4,000 was raised
in the District. This years goal
was 100000.
The solicitors stopped at
homes having porch lights
turned on. or those having a
handkerchief, glove or other
piece Of wearing apparel on their
door as a welcome sign to the
marcher
Not all of the marchers were
women. Many a husband was
recruited for the campaign.

Typical of the solicitors was
Mrs. Henry Ernest. jr. of 1868
Thirty-flrst street NV, whose
husband is a naval reserve COM
mander. She was aided by Miss
Patricia Keegan. 1866 Thirty
first street.
Between them they raised
$37.76 from more than 80 calls.
The largest contribution was SIS.
About 10 of their prospects,
with porchlights on. were not

ceedings to primp up, as women
will. Three girls in a house

Nation wide Effort.
The mothers crusade climaxed
the March Of Dimes campaign,
not only here but throughout
the country. Block by block, in
every community of the Nation,
the mothers have been collecting
money to be used for research
into the causes and cure of
polio. The drive is scheduled to
end formally on Sunday, but
funds may be contributed for
long afterward. AS one official
put it. there really is no end to
drive to conquer a disease like
polio.
The scene at WMAL was one
OF efficiency. About 100 persons
were working on the totals, with

Crusading Pastor Fights For Right
Auainst Unwise Palmetto State Law

The hard hitting pastor from the Green Sea Baptist
Church has done it again. He has hit at the heart of
serious problem in the Palmetto Statea foolish law.
The Rev. Morgan B. Gilreath is we'll known for his in
spring crusade against the sale of beer and wine in the
Estate Line section the Green Sea-Tabor City road
His treless efforts paid dividends when the business
places in question deprived of their beer licenses and
relative and quiet restored to an area more
commonly known for its lawessness.
While doing for his drive against the State
Line area, the pastor found serious discrepancy in
South Carolina law lie learned that the sale of beer
authorized in the Palmetto State without
of the people Too, he learned that beer and wine
by law considered Intoxicating beverages and
provided a cloak of immunity for drunken drivers.
with this information the crusading pastor APP
pealed to the South Carolina Attorney General for
ruling the conSttutionaty of the statute in question
Action in the matter is forthcoming; however, any
ruling eliminate this eyesore law from the 5. {. stat
will be vigorously opposed by various factions
reaping rich harvest by virtue of having such law in
effect.
There is doubt that the crusadng minister vii pur
the issue until every possibility has been exhausted
He lawyer before entTng the ministry and is highly
qualified represent the people who rown laws which
make mockery of law enforcement and tend to nullify
constitutional government
1t relief to know that there still people around
who willing fight for that which is right despite
tremendous opposition. Rev. Gilreath will long stand
a symbol Of democracy for his untirng crusades in de-
tense the peoples rights He deserves the praise of
every person who believes in constitutional government
which is often made possible only by the vigilance Of
people like the pastor who refuses to have laws pushed
down his throat.

"Thy faith hath saved thee" Go,
and sin no more" We thank Thee
for Thy grace which lifts us up.
And Thou seest, Father, some of
us are come from the place of pre-

He has read the letter of invita-
ton and has been congratulated
by many people; yet, doubt II
he can make himself believe that
it's true.
The honor is one which most
boys dream about for years; yet,
never come to realize anything
from it. First Of all, the lad was
definitely one of the unSung heroes
on the 1853 Red Devil squad where
he played the position of guard
with fierce determination and put
all he had into every play. He
played for the love of the game
not for the publicity.
His easy going manner, person.
ality, and intelligence make him
perfect representative as he
carries the name of Tabor City
with him to the East-WeSt All
Star game in Greensboro August
l3.
The likeable lad is not in the
least bit cocky about his selection
TO one OF the biggest All-Star
events of the year-matter of fact,
he is rather humble about the
whole thing. Quite an attitude for
boy who has the honor of being
the first player from Tabor City
ever to make the All-Eastern
squad.
Tommy Rogers deserves the
honor he has received and all
wish him well not only in the
East-West game but throughout

tried 'in secret and closed ses-

A member of the grand jury
which indicted Puff1nberger in
1926 said the court room had
been ordered cleared after the
return of the indictment.
Evidence was presented which
attempted to show the veteran
was without legal assistance,
was not advised of his rights,
and was without the mental
capacity to understand the
meaning of the offense or what
the charge involved.
The veteran entered the peni-
tentiary in 1926 and was trans
ferred to the criminally insane
ward at Marion in 1887.
DR.. James A. Dean, supervisor
of that ward, testified Puf1nber-
