The Kodiak Civil Air Patrol is soon to lose four of it's most active members. MT. and Mrs. Carl Little ton and sons Mike and Bill will soon be leaving for sunny Califor- nia MT. Littleton, SH2 USN, has been in the navy for the past nineteen years. He and his family are being transferred to Alameda, California, where Carl will assume shipboard duty until he retires next March. During his tour of duty in Kodiak he was manager of the Navy Exchange vending machine shop.
 Mir. Littleton's position in the Kodiak Civil Air Patrol was that of Executive Officer. Mrs. Little ton was Adjutant of this patrol since the time it was started. One of their sons, Mike, has been As sistant Commander of Cadets and

friends, also has three more chl- dren at home. They are Charlotte, age 13, Lee, age II, and Cory, age 4. Besides efficiently manag- ing a family of five and being very active in Civil Air Patrol work, Jeri has also found time to work for King Crab Cannery.
 The LittletonS prove the old saying that "if you want to get something done, ask busy man to do it." It is through the efforts of such people as these that the Kodiak Civil Air Patrol continues to be active and to grow. The Kodiak unit, which started out with only a few members, now numbers around fifteen cadets and fifteen adults. The Littletons state that they will join the Alameda unit of the CAP and that they in tend to continue to be active in CAP work.
 Upon leaving here they will tour the East Coast during a 30-day leave before proceeding to Ala meda. The affection and best wishes of their many friends go with them.

Your Bible and M inc
By Kenneth w. French Pastor of Harbor Light
 Pentecostal Chapel

The Bible says, quoting from the twenty-fourth chapter of Luke: "Then opened He (Jesus) their understanding that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it be- hooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusa- lem" This quotation is from Jesus final instructions to his apostles, the men whom he had taught, trained and commission ed to carry a specific and we'll defined gospel designed to save lost men and women of every nationality. Jesus death and res
 urrection had paid the price for sinners redemption. He had done His part. His men were to tell people this, and to tell them what their part was that they must do. They were told to preach repentance and remis- sion of sins and it was to be preached in Jesus name and they were to begin at Jerusalem. Next week we go to Jerusalem for a glimpse of these Jesus trained and commissioned prea- chers, and the gospel in action.

ed some of the engineering feats
that will probably be accomplished
during the 1960's, for members of

day night.
He spoke of the proposed hole
through the crust of the earth into

telescope and most startling, of the
efforts to create a living cell
He urged people to encourage
their children to study engineering
bcause of its potential for service
to mankind. He explained, too,
that the starting salaries are good.
His topic was The Engineers
Great Challenge in the SOS" and
he said that while $50 billion had
been spent in the decade of the SOS
there would be $120 billion spent in
the COS for engineering research.
He named many of the engineer
ing accomplishments of the SOS in

Civic and business leaders of the
town gathered on the North Race
St., grounds of the Diamond State
Telephone Co. last Monday noon
to witness the breaking of ground
for the $63O,O0O0 lateral addition
to the company's Georgetown CEN
tral office.
The twO-story, thoroughly mod
ern addition as it was pictured for
the guests, will be of light brick
construction with inserts of glass
and among other innovations will
have aluminous ceiling. There is
only one other such ceiling in the
state. The grounds will be land
scaped
The building will be completed by
January, 1861.
{ The first spadeful of earth was
turned over by Mayor Harvey B.
Spicer in the presence of the guests
and telephone company officials.
Harold S. White, local manager
Of the Diamond State Co, who pre-
sided at the ceremony, said that
the structure will provide for a new
switchboard room and also for ad-
ditional office space.
This type of expansion is ur-
gently needed to keep pace with
the demand for service in this
growing area, he said. "At the
present time, the Georgetown cen
tral office is serving more than
$500 telephones, compared with the
1,4OO telephones in the same area

SPEAKER = At the meeting of
the Milford New Century Club on
Monday, Hugh Martin will be the
speaker. The fact that Delaware
was the first state to ratify the
Federal Constitution, and that it
did so on December z, 1887, caused
the legislature of 1899 to take Off
cial notice of that distinction and
the Importance of the day. Because
of that action December Z was
designated as Delaware Day. Mr.
Martin will speak on some phase
of this celebrated day. He is as
sociated with E. F. Isaacs and
Sons in agricultural business and
is member of Alpha Zeta, an hon.
orary agricultural fraternity. A
graduate of Milford High School
and the University of Delaware,
where he is member of the Sig
ma Nu Fraternity, he is an active
member of the Milford Lions Club
and is now serving as chairman
of the Boy Scouts committee.

the sOloist for the afternoon, ac-
companied by Mrs. ]. Albert Bax-
ter. Mrs. ]. S. Willis is the pro-

for the Jew has been the center
of the prejudices of the world
more than any other group Of
people. In spite of this fact. from
the days of Moses and David of
old to the days of Einstein and
Rosenwald of our age, the record
of this people has been one of
which they may justly be proud.
AS Christians we should not for
get that the Jewish race gave us
our Bible and our Christ. That
THIS Christ would not condone
unfair prejudices being held a
gainst His people is illustrated by
a tale dating back to the time
the Germany of Hitler and Eich-
mann cruelty aimed to purge from
the nation all that had a Semitic
background.
This tale pictures Hitler-dom-
mated religious service at which
this command was given, 'All who
have a Jewish father, leave this
church," A score or more of
shamefaced worshippers departed.
Then, "All who have Jewish grand
dozen trickled out Then, "All who
have Jewish mother, leave this
churchi" At first no one moved.
Then the beautifully carved Christ
figure loosened itself from a large
wooden cross above the altar,
stepped down and walded out of
the church. He does not stay
where prejudices rule the human
heart.
WHOSE SHOES ARE THESE?"
This time the shoes beside your
bed, that you must wear. belong
to one whose Christian denomina-
tiOn is other than your own. 1t
is a sad commentary upon our
faith that some of the bitterest
prejudices continue to run ram
pant in the church of Him who
proclaimed "peace on earth, good
will to men,. And to show the
folly of it-well, just another
story.
Pat O'Connor had just come back
from Ireland and was being enter
tanned by his friends. Asked about
the homeland he said, ireland
is in divil of way" How is
that?" an associate asked well
you see," replied Pat, down in the
south of Ireland we have the
Catholics and in the north there
are the Protestants. They are at
each others throats all the time"
Here Pat paused and then con-
tinued, 81 often wish they were
all of them heather, so that they
could live together like Christians"
The point of the tale is obvious
no more needs to be said.

ices. Wear the other fellows shoes

WHOSE SHOES ARE THESE?"
Suppose upon awakening some
Sunday morning you would find

aloud, Say, whose shoes are
these?" You put them on-this
other mans shoes-and find to
your extreme embarrassment that
with his shoes you have become

that. for one year you needed to

Would it not give you a more
sympathetic understanding of
black mems problems and erase
from your thinking some of the
prejudices you now harbor in your
heart against these people.
Several years ago Paul Becker,
a prominent pastor of Lincoln,
Nebraska, broadcast sermon over
station KFOR in which he imagin-
ed that what / have just sketched
had really happened. to him. One
night, he stated, he and his family
had gone to bed white. Upon a
wakening the next morning they
| found that now their skins were
black. Rather vividly pastor Beck
er then reviewed the social os-
tracism, the denial of civic and
political rights, and the closing of
doors of many kinds to him and
his family because of this change
in pigmentation from a light to
a dark skin.
An almost incredible response
was evoked by this broadcast.
Hundreds of his radio audience be-
| lieved this product of his imagina-
|
station -KFOR was swamped with
inquiries for further information
concerning the disaster that had
befallen this man and his family.
They missed entirely the thought
that in this dramatic way the
speaker had sought to convey,
namely, that if we could step into
the black mans shoes, even if
only for little while, we would
find it easier to displace our pre-
judices with something far better
the spirit of Christian brotherhood.
WHOSE SHOES ARE THESE?"
| Suppose upon awakening some
other Sunday morning you find
still another mans shoes beside
you bed for you to put on and
wear. This time the shoes belong
to a member of the Jewish race.
When l think of these fine people,
the word prejudice seems as if it
ought to be spelled "pre-Jew-dice",
