Worlds First Christian Western Film
 To Be Shown Here Saturday, Aug. 6

''Mr. Texas called sthe worlds first Christian western" will be shown here Saturday, Aug. 6, in the School Auditorium at 7:3O pm.
 The film is the first major pro- duction of Billy Graham Evan gelistic Films, Inc, and features the famed young evangelist and his entire evangelistic team.
 Produced as an experiment, MT. Texas" has amazed religious leaders and motion picture auth critics alike during these several years since it's release. At the films preview in Hollywood Bowl in October 1851, a record throng of 25,000 persons jammed into the huge amphitheater for the largest attendance any motion picture has ever had in this country.
 During the first two years of showings, an estimated 5,000,000 persons have seen the film. From this number of viewers, over 135,- 900 made decisions to accept the Christian way of life in the first 12 months of showingS, according to records on file in the Graham film organizations Washington DC. office.
 The story revolves around the Billy Graham Crusade in Fort Worth, Texas. To produce the
The Nome nugget., 1955-08-05

film, an entire motion picture company moved from Hollywood to Texas and made all the Texas scenes in the vicinity of Fort Worth. The rodeo scenes, some of the most beautiful color photog- raphy being seen today, feature the world champion Mayo Rodeo Riders, together with the famous Hardin Simmons Cowboy Band.
 Several of the songs from ''Mr. Texas" have appeared on records, and complete albums are avail able.

Bulganin Says
 Plan to Exchange Secrets UnreaIistic

MOSCOW, R-Premier Bull ganin Thursday turned down as 'unrealistic' President Eisenhow- CTS plan for a swap of military blueprints and mutual air inspec- tion of each others territories.
 Deputies to the Supreme Soviet Parliament assembled in the great Kremlin Hall burst into laughter when Bulganin said the real effect of the Presidents pro posal would not be considerable because ''both countries have linn itless territories on which one could hide anything"
 The President offered at the Geneva summit conference on July 21 to pinpoint American mil itary establishments and let them come under the eyes of Russian aerial inspection teams in return for reciprocal action by the Rus sians.
 The President said he made the proposal to convince everyone of ''the great sincerity of the United States in approaching this prob lem of disarmament"
 The Soviet Premier's rejection of the Eisenhower plan came near the end of his 95-minute report to the Soviet people on the Geneva conference. He spoke to special session of 1,5OO deputies to the Supreme Soviet.
 He made three main points:
 l. Geneva helped to ease inter national tension;
 2. The personal contact there proved fruitful;
 3. It marked the beginning of an end to the cold war. He pledged the U.S.S.R. would do everything in it's power to help to end the cold war
 He said all four powers dis played a desire at Geneva to end the cold war.
 Referring to Eisenhower's plan as a step toward disarmament, Bulganin said:
 "We must pay tribute to his efforts for a settlement of this question, but the real effect could not be considerable. -" rI-1 ~~~,xvs,,~~ xoax,+,e ;rF na lxy

Louis Cathedral opening the 40th
annual convention of the Hospital
Association.
Archbishop Alter said that ANY
failure to make use of the very
best scientific knowledge available,
and any specious attempt to justify
neglect of professional skill and
technique would be unworthy of
religion and contradiction of the
virtues of justice, charity and pru-
dence which are inspired by rehg-
ion"
While any hospital provides So
ciaI benefits to its community, he
said, a Catholic hospital must be
not only an institution of social
service, but an institution of Chris
tian charity"
Charity is a virtue; social serv-
ice is a technique or method, he
stated.
Charity is intimately associated
with religion; social work is an
adaptation of scientific knowl-
edge"
Charity implies an attitude of
benevolence toward God and our
neighbor; social work implies an
attitude of research and admins
trative efficiency"
Charity is a thing of the spirit;
social work is a thing of the mind. F"
Explaining that the true mean
ing of charity is love, the Arch
bishop said: "lt is the spirit and
fha motive which count; and
unless these reflect the mind
and heart of Christ no Catholic
hospital would be worthy Of lis
name"
The spirit of Christ in identi-
flying Himself with the poor and
afflicted must pervade the Catholic
hospital and distinguish it, he said.
Referring to the theme of the
convention, ''The Road Ahead" he
stated that it was we'll to remem-
Der that in these days of aecredit-
ing and standardizing agencies, the
Church is 'the final authority"
