Kings Summer Oasis
Is Arobion Paradise

TAFT, Saudi Arabia, Aug. Is.
(AP)-At 5:45 am, Jeddah
already is hot and Steamy.
Thirty five minutes later, a
passenger arriving at Taif's
little airport takes a deep, sur
prised breath of that most
luxurious of commodities in
Saudi Arabia. cool air.
The pristine coolness result
ing from it's 5,1O0-foot altitude
has made Taft, 80 miles south
east of Jeddah, a favored sum-
mer retreat of Arabia's rulers
for centuries. 1t would give
little competition to Cannes or
Monte Carlo. But in some re-
spectS it is one of the worlds
richer resorts.
Plenty of Rain
King Saud's summer palace,
a rambling group of buildings
that form a small town in
themselves, is located about 20
miles from the center of Taft,
near the airport. When the
monarch, his family, his re-
tainers and his government
move here to escape the fierce
summer heat of Arabia, Taft
prospers.
By casual survey, -16 of every

thought of Taft as the closet
place on earth to the Koran's
paradise.
Road to Mecca
Even on an August night, a
visitor needs a blanket.
Until recently this historical
resort, oasis and summer capi-
tai had no hotel. Until about
five years ago, in fact, the
town itself had no electricity,
no organized water supply and
no adequate highway leading
to it.
Now the government is COM
pleting a modern highway that
cuts through the 40 mountain
GUS miles to Mecca, at a cost
of more than $40 million.

Castro Appeal Wones
In Some Lotin Areas

many as 10000 persons, anti
Castro groups 2,000-3, 900.
- Chile The Communist Party
has only $4,000 members out
of a population of 7.3 million,
but appears to be gaining
ground. The pro-United States
element is struggling to re-
gain confidence and prestige
lost as a result of the April
II invasion. To counteract
Communist advances, President
Jorge AleSSandri is pushing
hard for a 10-year development
plan and supports the Alliance
for Progress program. The
United States is stepping up
its propaganda efforts, chiefly
through a film on Cuba titled,
THE Unfortunate Island" and
by direct mail to explain United
States policy
--Ecua dor Communism
simply runs counter to the
traditional Ecuadorian way of
life" said correspondent Jorge
Jurado, and most Ecuadorians
lost faith in Mr.. Castro when
he declared Cuba a socialist
country. The Prime Minister is
making a play for Ecuadorian
sympathy. His ambassador is
DR.. Eduardo Corona, one of his
chief propagandistS with the
newspaper revolution.
Dominican Republic Joau-
uin Balaguer's government has
outlawed "FideliSm," driven
pro Castro leaders under
ground. Guarantees of free
campaigning for elections next
May don't extend to COM
munistS or Castroites. Pro-
Castro sentiment exists mainly
among students, and in cen
tered in Santiago.
Argentina - The prevailing
attitude toward Mr.. Castro is
largely one of indifference.
Most Argentines feel Cuba is
too far away to be concerned
about.
Brazil Some Brazilians,
once delighted by Prime Min
lister Castro's loud defiance of
the United States, now appear
to be wearying of it. Others
regard it as a cover up for his
own failures. Most Brazilians
are disinterested.
Peru-According to cores
Spondent Thomas j. Stone,
"Castro's popularity is def
nitely low generally. He does
have some following among
leftiSt students and commu-
nists, but gets no noticeable
support from the public in
general" Mr.. Castro lost pres
tige with his prisoners-for-
tractors offer.
Panama-Public support of
Mr.. CaStor's regime, once wide
spread here, now is left to hard
core leftistS and a few revo-
lutionary minded youths. The
government contributed to Mr..
CaStro's popularity decline with
strong moves to curb pro-Cas-
tro activity.
COlOmbia-MoSt Colombians
belonging to the old and DOM
inant conservative and liberal
parties and guided by the
church (Which has issued pas
toral letters attacking the Cas-
tro regime as degrading to
society and the family, find
little to attract them to Mr..
Castro or communism. The
great majority became disen-
chanted with Mr.. Castro as

A Fun Bank" may be one
means to a more pleasant life for
you and your family.
Here's the way it works. Set a
"fun" goal - a movie, a picnic,
ice cream sodas for everyone or
whatever you wish. Then fine ev-
eryone in the family (including
yourself) for failure to hang up
clothes, make beds, clean mud of
shoes and the like. The fine does
MT have to be large - a dime or
a quarter will do. The money can
be kept in a jar or an inexpensive
child's bank
You won't accumulate a for
tune, but when you have enough
money to pay all or part of your
goal, the family will be able to
enjoy an outing.
There's also bonus to the Fun
Bank" You'll save wear and tear
on nerves and eliminate nagging
and unpleasantness about many
things which children and even
adults fail to do.

ST PETERS AME

Gods Work" was the subject
of the message Rev. Lowell john
son brought to us on Sunday morn
ing, Oct. %, and as usual prayer
was offered for the sick and af-
ficted, also for the ones in trouble.
The scriptural background for the
message was st. John 6: 27-28-29.
"Labour not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat which
endureth unto everlasting life,
which the son of man shall give
unto you: for him hath God the
Father sealed. Then said they unto
him, What shall we do, that we
might work the works of God /?
Jesus answered and said unto
them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on him whom he
hath sent"
First of the three questions asked
by Rev. Johnson was What is
Gods work ?" What a christian
does is to conform with the works
of God. One must have faith for
works without faith is dead. One
may be great in sight of man, but
if the works are not done in hum
ility and in the glory of God, they
are as filthy rags, and the Lord
saith depart from me ye workers
of iniquity for know ye not.
(2) How is Gods work done 2"
Gods work is done in conjunction
with God. God has never failed
his people, all things are possible
to him that believes. Come as you
are, God specializes in cleaning up
dirty souls. Though your sins be
as scarlet they shall be as white
as snow.
(3) what is pay? One should
look for pay in form of approba-
ton. He who builds his house on
praise is like one who builds his
house on the sand, it will be blown
away. Seek not to be consoled
but seek to console. Pay is the joy
of seeing others happy. In conclu-
sion Rev. johnson stated the last
paw is eternal life. If he has risen
from the dead, as he lives so may
I.
We are happy to welcome Mr..
and Mrs. Morris DeSleet, Mrs.
Minnie Adams, and Mrs. Geraldine
Sisson, who were united with the
church. ,
The Choral and Brotherhood
choirs provided the music. The
Angel choir rendered a special
number that was enjoyed by all.
Mr.. A. Bernard Holland gave a
few remarks on his trip to the
West Indies and South America.
You missed treat if you did not
attend the very unique program
sponsored by the choral choir.
You are invited to worship with
us on next Sunday, October 29,
and share the first Youth Day
program of this fiscal year. The
theme is Working for God as a
Team. Rev. Johnson will be the
speaker.

On Symphony's Third
Concerf Of Season

Roman Totenberg, one Of the
outstanding violinists of today, will
be the guest soloist at the third
Minneapolis Symphony subscrip-
ton concert on Friday, October 27.
The concert begins at $50 pm. in
Northrop Memorial Auditorium.
Mr.. Totenberg made his debut
with the Warsaw Philharmonic.
A student Of Carl Flesch and
Georges Enesco, he played in all
of the major capitals of Europe.
London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam,
Berlin, Stockholm, Barcelona and
Copenhagen soon became familiar
with the name Of Totenberg and
hailed the young virtuoso.
Among concerts of particular in
terest at that time were a series
Of joint recitals with the famous
composer, Karol Szymanowski, and
with Artur Rubenstein.
After making his United States
debut with the Washington D. C..
National Symphony Orchestra, Mr..
Totenberg performed with major
American orchestras, including
those of New York, Los Angeles,
Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and
Portland, to name a few.
This violinist has a style all his
own, which has been described as
strong, personal and masculine.
This sensuous and masculine
strength is apparent whether he is
playing Bach Che has been called
the perfect Bach soloist) or Szy-
manowslxi.
The Szymanowsld Concer o
which Mr.. Totenberg will perform
is one with which the violinist is
particularly identified and has per-
formed with the major orchestras
of the United States and Europe.
Other works on the program,
which will be directed by Stanislaw
Skrowaczewski, will be the pet
ite Symphonic Concertante" of
Martin and the Brahms Symphony
No. 2. The Petite Symphonic Con-
certante is perhaps the most pop
ular work of this Swiss composer.
1t is comparatively brief and is
scored for harp, harpsichord, piano
and two string orchestras of limit
ed dimensions. Brahms Second
Symphony is considered the bright
est and most lyrical of the four.
