The Call For Greatness

In what could be historic step in the development
of free institutions, President Eisenhower has
ed distinguished group of private citizens under Dr.
Henry NJ WriStons leadership, to Commission on Ma
tiona Goals. The President has defined the groups
task that of sounding "a call for greatness to
lutte people
Greatness for nation like ours in this era of UNI
precedened rapidty of change and unprecedented cha
engeS to freedom must be composed OF many elements
In terms of basic values the search for greatness
must be in important part the search for greater liberty
and greater dignity of every individual in society
In setting goals for still greater future America
the WrstOn commission will have to point the way in
elimination of those barriers which still prevent large
numbers of fellow citizens from realizing their full
potentiates. The elimination of discrimination based
color, race, religion, on national origin,
must obviously be of prime aims. And
high priority list must certainly also be rad-
cal improvement in the quality and quantity of the edu
cation available to people, for education in democ
the magic key which opens the door of opportun
ty for maximum development of each individuals capa-
bilities
Since the economic power of nation is central in
determining what do a nation and how we'll we
can live as individuals, the Wriston commission will
have to pay close attention to possibilities in this
area Fortunately good start has been made in this
field by the earlier work of the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund Clearly something like a or per cent average
annual gain in total output needed if to
meet the problems posed by rapidly growing popu
aton by the requirements of defense and of financing
the needed rapid expansion of scientific research and by
our moral obligations to the hundreds of millions of
our fellow human beings in underdeveloped nations
that are now beginning the ndustrialzaton process
And to get this rapid economic growth need major
gains in productivity and substantial reductions in pro-
duction COSTS essential improvements in economy
which are required also to meet the challenge of
increasing competition world markets.
Even this brief resume of some of the key to
which the Wrston commission must devote it's attention
makes clear how complex the problems it faces But
even more complex than setting American goals for
greatness is the task of mplementing those goals The
Wrston commission has not and may be sure does
not want the power to order people to do anything
Obviously what President Eisenhower has in mind is the
belief that if the call to greatness is sounded by such
distinguished group our democratic political system
has the potentialities for responding to that call
To lay down the goals for better and still greater
America is to give nation of purpose and
of direction which enlightened and vigorous DO
htlcal leadership can then to mobilize people
ward the attainment of taose goals.-New York Times

An African Leader
The New York Times

An African who represents the best in the new At
rcan leadership is paying visit, and both his per-
sonalty and the things he says worth attention He
is julius Nyerere unquestioned leader both of Tang
anyikas most powerful political party and of the multi
racial elected members organization in it's legislative
council.
When the former German colony achieves self
government this fall Mr.. Nyerere sure to be it's
Prime Minister When the United Nations trust terri
tory becomes fully independent-Mr Nyerere estimates
that will be within five years he equally
to emerge the constitutional leader of what will prob
ably be the first free black state in East Africa.
According to Mr.. Nyerere the United States has
missed the boat politically-n terms of the African
freedom movements-but need not miss it in terms of
longrange economic development AS for visits like the
one planned by Mr.. Khrushchev to Guinea Mr. Nyerere
would prefer visits by heads of state be genuine at
tempts to establish friendshp-not simply efforts to
"get there first"
Perhaps most significantly in view of his position,
Mr. Nyerere comedies freely that African states
are likely to have party rule But he does not see
this as inconsistent with the essentials" of democracy
The party usually stems from patriotic freedom move
ment, to which opposition is naturally rare Later he
says, as long the freedom of the individual" and
specifically the freedom to Shout maintained true
opposition parties may emerge
-, Without doing any shouting himself, Mr. Nyerere
talks great deal of sense One may not agree with
everything he says; at the time in his presence
one is he is with of the best examples of the
indigenous leadership the Africa can produce

grafton struggle in America. eff
our country is to fulfill its real
mission in the world, we must bring
about full equality for every Am
erican in education, in housing, in
employment and of course in vot-
ing" she declared, adding:
"The effort to achieve racial
equality in the U. S. has become
a crucial aspect of the world strug-
gle between Communism and De-
mocracy. Moreover, there is grow
ing recognition across the country
that what we do at home-how we
handle our own racial problems
has a tremendous impact all over
the world.
at has become increasingly clear
that the uncommitted peoples of
the world, for whose support we
are now struggling with the Com
munists, will choose freedom over
Communism only if freedom means
equality of opportunity as we'll as
a higher standard of living"
Continuing, Mrs. Roosevelt told
the "NOW for Equality" meeting:
an the search for world peace,
hating nuclear tests and planning
world disarmament are only part
of the picture.
"a permanent peace can only
come if it is accompanied by
equality of opportunity for millions
of men and women and children
around the world who do not now
have it. The success or failure of
the effort to guarantee racial
equality to all Americans will de-
termine how the problem is solved
not only in our own country but
around the world. This will, in turn,
have a profound bearing on whe-
Their there is to be peace around
the world"
The former First Lady empha-
sized the speed with which news
of life in the United States reached
around the world. This fact, COM
bined with the intensity with which
events in America are studied by
people everywhere, Mrs. Roosevelt
said, makes it imperative "to re-
member that what we do at home
will be known all over the world al
most as soon as we do it."
Mrs. Roosevelt urged the "NOW
for Equality" conference delegates
to return to their home commu-
mites with "an understanding, a
sympathy and-most important
a conviction to translate the i'm
portance of the struggle for equ-
atty into our daily practices, and
to carry this message into our local
church groups, parent-teacher as

Kings reputed failure to report

of state income tax is only a mis-

case, he assisted the Common

And in the third, in 1852, he repre-

Ming argued that neither the
complaint nor the bill of particu-
lars set forth specific allegations
of unprofessional conduct on the
part of Tucker. The charges were
too vague to warrant considera-

Opposing the motion to dismiss,
Harold L. Townsend, Common
wealth's Attorney, filed a motion
to quash it on the ground that the
proper remedy would be a motion
to strike the bill of particulars.
Court was recessed for 80 min
utes while the judges considered
the motions. They then ruled that
"the proper motion is a motion to
strike the bill of particulars" and
decided to treat the original mo-
ton as one to require an amended
bill of particulars.
Attorneys for Tucker were or
dered to make such responsive
pleading as they deemed necessary
within 81 days after the Common
wealth's Attorney has field his am
ended bill. Thereafter, the Court
will set a date for continuance of
the trial.

KEW. JOHN II. FERklNS
"THE WORD OF GOD is OK,
OBEY 1T AND LIVE RIGHT"
When the Lord gave out his gospel
He didn't give it out to one par
ticular man
He said go into every country
And preach my gospel to every
woman and man.
The gospel has no charges to it at
Christ gave His life that we all
might be free
They nailed Him to that rugged
cross
He shed His precious blood for
you and for me.
Christ never spoke a l-.bling
word at all
His Father gave Him the power
you see
He shed His blood for all the world
And He never spoke a mumbling
word.
The world is in Gods House today
And it is ruling the Lords House
in a way
Some are praying for the gospel
But Christ says it is free.
If we would live a true christian
life for Christ
And obey His precious word today
We would be children of the Lord
So why don't you obey?
We can't live here wrong today
And make a record in Heaven you
see, not so
We must obey the will of our Lord
Because Christ is the keeper of
Heavens Door.
It's an easy life to live here all
right
If we would stop lying to our Lord
on high
And obey the Will of our Lord
everywhere we might go
We will have happy home in
Heaven by and by.
once was lot but now I've found
A happy home on high
| am living a true christian life
everyday
So | can have home where there
is no sorrow
The Kingdom of God is my pay.
| am lifting Jesus Christ up ev-
erywhere l go
And preaching to my people today
He gave to me a charge to keep
TIC lift Him up each and every day.
Christ said that He would do the
drawing of all men
We need to obey the Word OF
Christ our Lord
And stop lifting up the wrong man
Because Christ is the keeper of
Heavens Door.

Rats Garry Swine
Diseases

Rats are carriers of atrophic
rhinitis, serious swine disease,
warns County Agent VIM. H. Hen
dersOn.
The disease, while not often
fatal, retards the growth of young
pigs and causes an economic loss
to owners. Pneumonia may also
develop as a secondary complica-
ton.
Research has also shown that
both rabbits and cats may act as
carriers, although the disease is
usually spread by infected pigs.
Mr.. Henderson urges swine rails
ers to watch for sneezing, nose
bleeding, nasal discharge, cough
ing, or irritation of the snout. AS
the condition advances, it may
cause a distortion of the snout
and facial bones.
If any of these symptoms appear,
have your veterinarian set up a
control program. No cure has been
found for the disease, but santa
ton and control measures can be
taken to help cut losses and eli
inmate the problem.
