RUSH TO RESCUE
ON HIGHWAY IN
TYRRELL COUNTY

COLUMBIA-The small town of
Columbia was the scene of much
emotional activity Saturday night
about 8 o'clock, when both of the
Walker Funeral Home ambulances,
with wailing sirens, strieked
through downtown traffic on
across the Scuppernong River
bridge, headed for the scene of a
wreck about 31s miles west on US
64-in front of Larry Jones Selv-
ice Station and Store.
Gathered about the Columbia
Hospital awaiting their return, the
crowd was equal to that of a yes
ter-year all-day picnic. Had they
stood up to be counted-a good
guess would be 200.
With unusual calmness in tn e
melee, DR.. James Howerton let 1t
be known that no blood nor plasma
was available and that some of
these injured were in dire need. A
call went out for blood donors of a
certain type. The response was
heartening.
Among those who answered the
call, who gave blood and stayed
for further needs were j. A. Pied
ger, Herbert L. Brickhouse, c. B.
Daniels, Harry P. Swain, W. A.
Basnight and Marshall Swain.
Those OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
thought to be dying, and Columbia
rallied to the cause. Three were
from Greensboro, all reported in
critical condition, and two, one of
which was considered critical were
from Plymouth.
The hospital already full-the
injured has to be given emergency
treatment from their ambulance
cots. When the three available am
balances passed in sequence, hasten
ing the three Greensboro persons
to hospital in Elizabeth City, it
was sight rarely seen here. The
fourth patient had to await the
coming of an ambulance from Ply
mouth.
The calm, quick and methodical
handling of the injured by c. E.
(Jake) Walker and Wiley P. Arm
strong on trips in and out is worthy
of commentator.
The injured were: Occupants of
a '48 Ford, pulling a boat a nd
trailer, heading west at the time
of the impact were Forrest Colon
Miles, As, Mrs. Nettie Miles, As,
both of Cody Drive, Greensboro,
and George w. Fulk, 40, (told by
Patrolman ]. H. Withers to be the
driver) of Vass Drive, Greensboro.
Occupants of the '56 Mercury was
George Shaeffer 81, told to be the
driver by Withers and Joseph H.

John XIII told some 10000

He told them: We're not
strangers to each other, and
far less are we hostile to each
other, as is unfortunately
preached by a mistaken ideo-
logy which sows unjust hat
red among classes. On the
contrary, with each one in the

is our vocation to help one

His Holiness Pope John

Speaking in French to

them to Rome, IAN exalted

has left an indelible stamp"
The congress stressed the
elements of Negro culture,
particularly the community
of inheritance which Negroes
share as a race. 1t was sug-
gested that means be found
to establish a single African
language to stimulate and

In their opinion the Castro
rebellion against what they
regard as the tyranny and
atrocities of the Batista era
was morally justified.
Still another reason for
their support of the new re-
gine is the Catholic leaders
conviction that national unity
and the counsel of Church au-
thorities is vitality necessary
to overcome the tremendous
obstacles to the moral, social
and economic reconstruction
sought by the revolution as it
enters its second and more diff
ficult phase. While the Church
has differences with the gov
eminent. ii is possible to dis
cuss them freely and Catholic
leaders do not want to let
them become a barrier to CO
operation between the Church
and the regime.
They are also supporting
Castro because they believe
his regime has shown strong
Christian tendencies in its
sincere effort to achieve ad-
ministrative honesty and bring
about social reform.

The Christian GOSPEL

Moreover, brethren, l de-
clare unto you the gospel
which l preached unto you,
which also We have received,
and wherein we stand"
Il Corinthians 1871
= u y
1t is good for us to be reminded
from time to time of the doc
trines of the New Testament.
Such as exercise should cause one
to appreciate more fully the
grace and mercy of God and
to be more determined to glorify
God in our daily living. The
doctrine Of the gospel as found
in the New Testament is one
which should occupy our minds.
The word gospel" means good
news. In the New Testament it
is Gods good news proclaimed
through His Son Jesus Christ.
When one realizes that in his
natural state he is a sinner, not
measuring up to Gods standard
of holiness, and as such is under
the judgment of God, it is good
news to learn that God has made
provision to free him from the
penalty of sin and the law and
reconciling that n unto Him
self. This gospel message gives
all that is necessary to salvation,
and an honest acceptance of that
gospel means salvation (verse y
- salvation from the penalty and
the power of sin and, eventually,
the presence of sin. In Romans
l:l6 we are told that the gospel
is the power of God unto saliva
ton to every one that believeth
~(trusts Cod.
In First Corinthians 1873 and
4 the Holy Spirit outlines the
Gospel for us. 1t is summarized
by three points: "Christ died for
our sins according to the Scrip
lures: He was buried, and He
rose again the third day accord
ing to the Scriptures"
Christ died for our sins &C.
cording to the Scriptures" VIZ
. deserve to die for our own sins
We deserve the full penalty OF
Gods holy law, but Gods finds
no pleasure in the death of the
wicked. God loves and is merci.
full and gracious. He values the
soul Of man highly. Therefore
Jesus Christ left heavens glory
"was made in the likeness o.
men" and "humbled Himself, anc
became obedient unto death
