Pres. National
Baptist Cow. In
Stirring Address
AtHoward Univ.

Washington, D. c., Dec. r.
Speaking to an overflow crowd in
the chapel of Howard University
here, DIR. Joseph H. Jackson, Pres
ident, National Baptist Convention,
told the faculty and students Sun
day, "the day in which we live de-
mands that people be prepared, not
simply to enjoy their culture as a
luxury, or to consume the inherited
values of their social order. Rather,
we must produce those interested
in conserving the rich heritage of
the past, and in creating ideals and
attitudes that will save the nation
and cur social order from dis-inte-
grafton and destruction. The de-
cision of the Supreme Court May
II, 1854, was not only a new dec
laration of freedom in the field
of education, but it was call to
Negroes in the United States, to.
rally their resources in the sup
port of law and order The de-
cision has given to the American
Negro a new opportunity to fight
not for himself alone, but fer the
life of the nation. The Negro is no
longer the mere defender of racial
rights, but he is the defender of
the basic principles of the Federal
Constitution, and a rule of law
through the courts of the land, and
the American way of life. 1t is
an honor and distinction, to live
and even to die, in the defense of
our American way Of life. In such
an undertaking, those who suffer
because of the decision Of the court,
are one with Abraham Lincoln,
William Lloyd Garrison, and host
of others, who have laid down
their lives that this noble republic
might live.
In order to support the ideals
of peace, liberty and freedom in
the world, men must have some
source of support, and some power
on which to rely. We must have
in this day and generation, faith in
the future, and courage to stand
for truth at the risk of death. The
one Man that meets our needs in
this hour, is the Man Jesus Christ,
who preached and lived the doctrine
of love, and who advocated
kingdom of justice and peace, and
who was so utterly committed to
the moral and spiritual principles
Of His kingdom, that He chose
rather to die, than to compromise
or surrender.
The choice is before US. The ma
tons of the world must face it and
face it frankly. We must either
become a community of neighbors
working together for. the common
good of all mankind, and carrying
forward the ideals of the Kingdom
of God, and giving justice, love and
mercy to the weak as well as the
strong. or we must drift into that
type of confusion and conflict which

Fair Gets OFF to
Start Today

The 18th annual Richland coun-
ty fair is getting off to a big
start in opening for its three day
run today with perfect weather
and everything set to go.
1t might have opened last night
with the prevue crowd that
swarmed the fairgrounds and ex-
hibits buildings. With the carni-
val rides going, hundreds of kids
took advantage of the OBJ
%portunity to "get there fustus" and
sample the new thrillers the
Northern Exposition Shows didn't
have here last year. This is the
first season for some of the rides
all of which equipment is prac-
tically new. An idea of the crowd
last night can be had from the
fact that the parking area was
practically filled with cars.
The G~reenough- Orr Dayton ro-
dec all three afternoons will pack
the grandstand. Some of the
toughest, toughest CRITTERS" a
cowpoke ever threw a leg over
will make every event a thriller
and that's what rodeo fans like
and how!
Clarence Smiths international
Circuit Revue" will be the grand
stand stage show all three nights
of the Fair II Thursday through
Saturday. This is rated one of the
finest night shows ever presented
at the Richland County Fair. Be
sides this there will be many spe-
cial acts and aerial thrillers.
The fine Sidney and Fairview
high school bands are furnishing
the music the three DAYS. with
the Sidney band playing the first
two days and the Fairview band
the closing day - Saturday.
Judging of exhibits starting this
morning will be finished Friday
and the winning exhibits will be
marked with ribbons for their
prize ratings. AS usual the out
standing livestock feature of the
fair IS the All baby beef show
with the exhibits being sold at
auction the closing day.
No n will want to miss taking
IN one day Of the fair at least
and most everyone will take in all
three days of this great outstand-
ing entertainment event of the
year for the people of this area
extending into surrounding coun-
ties.

City Fire Hall
Bonding Election
Carries 448tO56

The city fire hall bonding cleo
ton Tuesday, in keeping with ex-
pectations, carried for the build
ing construction by a total vote in
the three wards of 448 to So.
The vote by wards was as fol-
lows:
Ward 1, City Hall - for 100:
against 10.
Ward 2, Yoder Motor Co. lobby
for 81; against II.
Ward 8, County Court House
for 167; against 26.

issue because of a flaw in the
special election held with the reg-
ular city election in April which
carried for the building ~construc-
ton by a total vote in all three
wards of 378 for to los against
A comparison of the vote then
and in Tuesdays election shows
the marked increase in favorable
interest that developed between
the two elections.

summate the sale of the bonds
which will take probably six to
eight weeks, when the contract
will be let and construction of the
long needed adequate city fire hail
will begin without unnecessary

The Rlchland county chapter of
the American Red Cross announces
that plans are being completed
for a class in first aid training.
This class will be open to school
bus drivers and any other per-
sons who are required to hold
first aid cards and also to anyone
else who is interested.
Mrs. Robert Arthaud Of Fair
view will be the instructor for
this class which will be held in

this class is extended to all school
bus drivers, ambulance drivers,

training in first aid is very i'm
portant for anyone, whether it is
required in his work or not. On
the streets or highways, on the
playground or in the home, when
an emergency arises, the ability
to give prompt first aid treatment
may save a life.

September, is asked to contact

For CridrOn With
Large Turnout

Head football coach Don Smad-
ing issued his first call for pig
skin candidates last Saturday and
43 boys turned out. This is one
of the largest numbers reporting
for the initial practice in recent
years and should be encouraging
for the Eagles in 1855.
Sidney will play an eight game
schedule, opening September 9 at
Williston, N. D., in their only non
conference game. Their first lea
que game in the newly formed
Little Ten" conference will be
at Havre September %.
The Eagles have eleven letter
men returning from the 1854
squad to build around. These are
Jerry Smith, Flip Mischief, Scotty
Jarvis, Dick Thompson, Tyler
Jensen, Dick Goldsmith, Jerry
Christensen, Tom Quilting, Jack
Marion and Jim Satler. The elev-
enth man Bob Potts is expected to
report next week.
Other candidates reporting are
Gene Satler, Clarence Helm, Geo.
Murray, Terry Whitaker, Dave
Johansen, Don Herman, Jack Mar
tin, Steve Herman, Dean Johnson,
Kendall Habedank, Brent Potts,
Dennis FITZGERALD Gary Bracken,
Jim Skillen, Darrell Dahl, Orvin
Anderson, Lee Anderson, Ed Dot
son. Dick Helten, Doyle Dotson,
Mike Jones, John Marmon, Ronnie
Muno2, Alvin Haas, Ronnie Quill
ling, Thor Kristiansen, Augustine
Minjares, Tom Schmoll, Fred Ford,
Jim Atkinson, Keith Winters, Dale
Winterss and Craig Price. David
Little and Jack Brockway are the
team managers.
From this group ten are seniors,
eighteen are juniors, ten sophie
mores and five freshmen.
Coach Shading reports that this
week will be spent in conditioning,
working on fundamentals, and
learning plays. AT the time of
this writing he expected to have
the first scrimmage Saturday.
Shading who employs the T-for-
nation exclusively, plans to cut
his squad to Is by the opening
game.
When asked about the pros
poets for the season Coach Smad-
ing said: cit is too early to make
any predictions for the year. How
ever, we are very pleased with
the large turnout and with the
spirit and attitude already
shown" NJ
Assistant Coach Richard Bueh-
Ter, who spends most of his time
with the Sidney forward wall had
this to say in regards to his de-
partment: Our line will be of av-
erage weight with some good let
termen to build around. Should
some of the larger boys come
through the Eagles could have one
of their better lines in recent
years"
Local fans will get their first
chance to see the Eagles in action
on September 80 when the Glas-
gov Scotties invade Sidney ter
ritory. In the meantime the trip
to Williston is a short one so
why not support the locals in
their first game next week end.
