r OBBIE SMITH may not be the
= handSomest guy in the world
but he sure is the luckiest. That's
what the gang said when they
found out he was going to marry
Penny Shelley. Not only was Pen
ny easy IN the eyes. but she was
about as nice a kid as you'll find
anywhere. The only one in town
who wasn't exactly wild about the
idea was Benny Blake. Benny had
been sweet on Penny for a long
time.

BY CASPAR NAMES

Religious News Editor of The Star
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.-Con-
ventions as we'll as human be-
ings have personalities.
This was sharply brought out
by the two large annual meet
ings held the past two weeks by
the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton and the American Baptist
Convention.
Each group, related by spiri-
tual ties but divided through the
years by other considerations,
has a quality different from the
other. The Southern Baptist
meeting emphasizes the family
reunion type of gathering. Whole
families journeyed to Miami,
Fla, to renew friendships with
other families. Old school ties
were revived. and a picnic at
mosphere prevailed. Business &C.
cupied only a comparatively
small part Of the total program.
The emphasis was otherwise
at the Atlantic City meeting.
While the inspirational speeches
were prominent on each days
program, the roundtable discus
sions and business sessions
played even a larger role. Few
children were present. and they
were inconspicuous. There was
little of that relaxed mood so
apparent at Miami, and the few
debates conducted revealed en-
phasis on a business rather than
social approch.
X 4 \
Program Director Praised
The success or failure of any
meeting relates back usually to
the efficiency of the program
director. At Atlantic City the
program went so smoothly and
so well that everyone highly
praised DR.. Edward B. Willing
ham, pastor of National Baptist
Memorial Church, Washington,
for his skill in arranging and
carrying through well-bal-
anced program.
At the concluding session a
sneaker declared DIR. Willing
ham was as fine a program
chairman as the American
Baptist Convention has ever
had. Without him we could
not possibly have had this fine
meeting"
Spent Year at Howard U.
One advantage of going to a
convention is that a reporter
learns of many things hap
pening in Washington which
otherwise would never come to
light. Take the case Of 20-year-
old Carol Ekberg of Gran
ston, R. I.
Carol is an exceptionally
pretty blue-eyed blond who
went to Denison University in
Ohio her freshman and sopho-
more years.
This year Miss Ekberg was
one of the few white students at
Howard University. She will
return to Denison next year to
obtain her degree.
This past year has been an
unusual experience for Carol.
She came to the local university
as one of two junior year ex-
change students from Denison.
Two goods from Howard, one Of
them Barbara Pagan of Wash
ington, went to Denison for the
exchange program.
Miss Ekberg, who lived at one
of the Howard University dormi-
tories this year, took an active
part in the schools campus life.
Among other activities, she was
in the Howard Players drama
group. having small roles in a
couple Of their productions.
"This experience has been
very rewarding," Carol said. Il
have gained better knowledge
of myself and can understand
people better. I have been very
much enlightened as to pre-
JUDGE. I will be willing to talk
to anyone about my expert
ences. but I am not going to be
a crusader. You just strengthen
peoples prejudices that way"
