largest department stores and a

ed smoothly and without incident.
Two Negro women are now
working full-time as sales clerks

December Is, the student body
beheld the long promised and after
talked of Christmas assembly.
Under the direction Of Miss A..
Denzil, the "a" choir along with
the Speech department produced
an impressive program. A remind
err was issued from the principal,
Mr.. J. T. Lackner, that the rever-
ent silence of the audience was de-
sired. Whether it was the sense of
obedience at Central, or the i'm
pressiveness of the assembly, there
remained almost complete silence
throughout the duration of the
program.
Unlike the Thanksgiving assem-
bly,, this holiday affair never had
a less-serious side. Its theme car
ried a message-the message of
the birth Of the Christ child. 1t
appealed for us to hold the mean
ing Of Christmas dear, and avoid
the diversions Of Christmas shop
ping and gift-giving in realizing
its purpose.
The Speech group presented an
excerpt from the Christmas
I Carol.
My promises Of an impressive
Yuletide assembly were fulfilled
For the rest of the day the at
mosphere of Christmas could be
felt at Central.
A very Merry Christmas to
everyone!

The NAACP has been asked to
show cause why it should continue
to picket and display signs and
literature asking the public not to
patronize Webb's City.

Robert Short. Civil
Rights Advocate;
BIGGEST Trucker

The Minneapolis business, pol
itical and sports figure who led
the 1856 Democratic convention
fight for a strong civil rights bill
continues his rise in the trucking
world this week when he became
owner of the largest trucking firm
based in the Twin Cities.

ported Monday:
Robert e. neutrality-suspicious.
executive, basketball club owner
and lawyer-Monday purchasd the
largest truck firm based in the
Twin Cities for more than six
million dollars.
Short, who also owns Admiral
Transit, Inc, Roseville, acquired
Merchants Motor Freight, st. Paul.
Admiral operates principally be-
tween the Twin Cities and Chi
cago. Merchants routes extend
from Denver, Colo, on the west to
Cleveland, Ohio, on the east, and
as far south as Kansas City and
st. Louis, Mo.
The purchase was made from
Stanley L. Waste, founder Of Mer-
chants. He said he was leaving
the business for health reasons.
Short, who also owns a majority
of stock Of the Los Angeles Lakers
formerly the Minneapolis Lakers)
said the purchase involved outside
financing and extended payments.
The purchase, which Is subject
to approval by the interstate COM
merce commission, was made by
the firm Of r. e. Short, Inc.
That firm Is owned by Mueller
Transportation Co., which also
owns Admiral Transit. Short, in
turn, owns all the stock Of Mueller
Transportation.
Short said the two trucking
firms will be maintained as sep
arate companies, but their opera
tons will be "coordinated."
Admiral presently has revenues
of about five million dollars an.
nually, while Merchants has about
10 million. Admiral has 1923 EN-.
ployes and 400 pieces Of equip

Farm I told them of this building
of my dreams.
The help of many friends in and
out of the University got the
dream of this building before the
Knapp Foundation; and in the early
days of December, 1862, it wrote a
letter to the President of the Uni
versity, offering a half million
dollars toward a million dollar
building. The North Carolina Cen
eral Assembly matched this gift in
1868. Plans for the building were
drawn, the contract was let, the
building was completed, and we
moved in during the fall of 1866.

Bill Foster and a party of COM

off Hatteras on Monday sighted a
large school of channel bass in the
inlet. Cutting their motor off, they
drift-casted with rod and reel and
landed three large channel bass.
Willie Newsome who reported the
incident stated that insofar as he
knew this was the only channel
bass catch made in Hatteras wa
tiers so far this week.
"They said the school covered
about an acre of water so maybe
with. a shift of the wind these
big channel bass will be coming in
to the surf" said Newsome.

him as they always lean on a
"father-image," whether a Lincoln
or a Roosevelt or a DeGaulle or any
one else. Isaiah (being out of the
top drawers in his country, friend
of the royal family had leaned no
doubt on the good king Uzziah.
When he died, Isaiah was ready for
the vision God had not sent him
before. God became real to him, in
a time of disaster and loss, as he
had not seemed real before.
Isaiah was not carried away by
rapture when he saw God. The
sight of the Divine Majesty las
many saints have learned can be
a terrible experience. The first
thing Isaiah feels is shame for his
sins, sins which God deals with not
by washing them away but by
burning them away. To put this
into common language, perhaps too
common: Isaiah has to begin by
getting right with God. God was
calling him to be a prophet, or as we
would say, a preacher. An impor-
tant part of a preachers business
is to condemn mems sins. But no
preacher can lead others to the
forgiveness of God who has not
felt that forgiveness himself. No
preacher has the right to condemn
other mems sins if he spares his
own
