ZION BAPTIST
The serenity and quiet expect
ancy of the congregation, (stin
under the spell of the choir's beau
tiful rendition of Silent Night and
the scriptural reading of Luke 2:1-
y, was suddenly interrupted when
the Pastor, Rev. J. r. Holloway,
delivered his dynamic sermon,
"Megation or Manager ?" at Zion
Sunday morning, December IT.
"The atomic bomb that Destroy
ed the Japanese city of Hiroshir-
ma, killing 70 thousand people in
August, 1945 was power unheard
of before that time, but the Mega
ton Bomb now in the hands Of
Russia is described as $50 times
more powerful" stated the min
lister.
Russia is built on materialism;
saying God is old fashioned; Amer
lea has Christendom-she uses in
God We Trust on her coins, but
for the most part this is only lip
service" asserted the speaker.
I'VE are placing the security Of
our lives and country in man-made
power, born not in Herod's palace;
not by the flash of a megation
bomb, but softly, quietly, symbolic
of the tenderness of Gods love, in
a lowly manger. The philosophy Of
greatness, bigness, numbers and
megations of life must be done
away with by America, ministers
and church school teachers. Jesus
life and resurrection is the only
Rock of security for us ALL" con-
cluded the speaker.
Let us go over to Bethlehem"
will be the subject of the Pastors
sermon next Sunday, December "a,
at the 8 and II am. services. At
9 am. lions Church school will
present a drama titled, mo Room
in the Inn" and at pm. the Sem
Tor Choir's Christmas musical will
be heard. The early Christmas
service December rs has been post
poned.
We are encouraged when you

Seasons Greetings!
ST. PETERS AME

Serenity and deep reverence set
the tempo Sunday morning, Jan.
II, when Rev. Lowell Johnson de-
livered a most fitting message for
the Yuletide season.
The subject was Get ready for
the King. The foundation for the
dynamic message was from Isaiah
40:3 and st. Matthew 3:3. Rev.
Johnson placed his emphasis on
the kind of reception we should
give the King, who is King Jesus.
From the scriptures st. Luke 1892
SO, Isaiah 9:7, and jeremiah 1876.
He stated to crown it all the ma
jority of the wise men came and
said to him, where is he the King
of the Jews? For we have seen
the star in the east and have come
to worship him.
The speaker further stressed
that though Jesus was born a
King in Bethlehem of Judea two
thousand years ago, that was not
enough, and to make a difference,
He had to be born again in you
and me, and unless Jesus has been
born in our hearts, Christmas will
not make any difference.
Rev. johnson went on to say that
we do not need to rehearse what
happened two thousand years ago,
but to bring what happened then
to the year of nineteen sixty-one,
and live it today. Jesus is the
Prince of Peace and oh how we
need him today.
In conclusion: The pastor read
the lyrics to the beautiful hymn
"All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name" and admonished the listen
ers to remember even though
Jesus was born two thousand years
ago in Bethlehem 1t doesn't make
any difference unless he Is born in
you.
The senior choir added zest to
the Christmas spirit when they
rendered three beautiful selections
excerpts from the Cantata Rose
of Christmas. Under the direction
of Mrs. Dorothy Sims.
The Special Missionary Program
was held at pm. Mr.. A. Bernard
Holland was the speaker on his
trip to South America and the
West Indies Islands. He also show
ed slides of his trip.
The Jolly-sixteen club attended
prayer meeting in group on last
Thursday night, January IA, before

meeting in the home of Mrs. Myr-
tie Thomas.

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you

ational hymn was Leaning on the

Rev. Chester Banks of Denver,
Colorado.
The broadcast was aired over

little pressure was applied from
behind.
One of the grease advocates
was Ken Tooill, executive edi-
tor Of the Toledo (Ohio) Times.
Mr.. Tooill, who was appointed
Times COW editor during
Grady's hectic experience,
added a new twist to the greas-
ing by suggesting she be put
on a strict diet for a few days
then creased.
The greasers won. Ralph
Partridge, Denver Post farm
editor, flew here and smeared
the fidgety COW with about 10
pounds of axle grease. Then a
veterinarian gave her a sedative
to calm her nerves.
A lariat was looped around
her de-horned head and man
power was supplied from be-
hind. After a few minutes,
Grady caught on, wiggled her
hips a couple of times and
squeezed through with hardly
any trouble at all.
Grady settled down and lived
quietly afterward and gave
birth to several healthy calves.
She also stayed away from

Silver Spring Man Held
In Wife's StronguIotion

The discovery that Mrs. Mar
garet L. Fairfax was strangled
to death resulted today in the
filing of murder charges against
the husband of the 29-year-old
Silver Spring (Md) woman.
Montgomery County police
said they decided to press the
charge against Stanley Brooks
Fairfax, SO, after an autopsy
at Washington Sanitarium, Ia
koma Park, indicated strangu-
lation was the cause Of death.
Mrs. Fairfax was pronounced
dead on arrival at the hospital
at 6 am. yesterday.
Fairfax is a mechanic in
the laundry department of the
Soldiers Home. Mrs. Fairfax
was the former Margaret Crum,
a 1949 graduate of Montgomery
Blair High School in Silver
Spring.
She was in bed and appeared
to be dead when police we're
summoned to the brick Cape
Cod house at TIA Dublin drive

the husband had gone to the
home of a next-door neighbor
and asked for assistance, police
reported.

is designed to stifle consump-
ton at home in the interest of
an export drive.
To Draw on Fund
Mr.. Lloyd also announced
that Britain will make a sub
stantial drawing from the In
ternational Monetary Fund to
bolster the country's gold and
dollar reserves.
In this way the government
served notice on international
spectators that the pound
supported in range from $2.78
to $2.82-would not be de-
valued.
Mr.. Lloyd did not give the
actual sum to be asked from
the fund.
He said Britain also intends
to cut Z defense expenditures.
Referring to the NATO COM
mitments in Western Europe,
he declared: "The strain upon
the balance of payments caused
by this expenditure cannot be
allowed to continue in the next
financial year."
This could be interpreted as
a hint to West Germany that
the strength of the present
British garrison on the Rhine
could only be maintained if
Bonn resumes support cost pay

YUKON, Okla, July Is (AP) L.
Grady the COW, a 1,200-pound
Hereford who jumped through
a 17x25 1a-inch silo feed door
into national prominence IL
years ago, died yesterday not
far from the same silo where
she spent four confusing days.
Her owner, Bill Mach, said
the 18-year-old Hereford "just
got tired and died of old age"
He found Grady dead in her
corral on his ranch last night.
Grady jumped into the silo
on Washington's birthday in
1949, after having a hard time
giving birth to a calf which
died.
During the next four days,
Grady paced inside the silo.
Before she was freed, Mr..
Mach heard from folks in Is

CITIZENS PROTEST PARKING FEE
Philadelphia Mayor
Rocked and Egged
PHILADELPHIA. :

PHILADELPHIA, July 25
(AP).-An angry, jeering crowd
of 1000 persons hurled rocks
and eggs at Mayor Richardson
Dilworth and shouted profanity
at him last night as he tried to
defend his controversial plan
for a $40-a-year street parking
fee before the public gathering.
Several persons repeatedly
were injured, including Coun-
Gilman Gaetano P. Giordano,
who opposes the plan. Mr..
Giordano, a Democrat like
Mayor Dilworth who represents
the South Philadelphia district
where the Mayor wants to set
up an experimental plan,
pleaded for the crowd to at
least hear the Mayor out. He
suffered q cut eye when hit by
either a rock or flying glass in
the school auditorium where
the Mayor spoke.
Some Of the crowd smashed
the rear window of a police car
carrying two boys who had
been arrested. Several persons
smashed five windows of the
car of Edward Lain, 81, a
newSman for television station
WRCV. They also ripped off
his rear-view mirror and
lengths of chrome from the car.
Some photographers were
roughed up.
Police Rushed to Scene
All available highway patrol
men were rushed to the scene
to reinforce some 40 regular
officers who had been detailed
to the meeting beforehand
when 1t was sensed there might
be trouble.
Mayor Dilworth was led from
the stormy meeting by a police
Gordon. He was driven to his
home where officers stayed on
guard overnight. He said "a
small core of about 10 to IL
young fellows seemed to trigger
it ALL" He said the demonstra-
tion had been organized and
promised an investigation.
The outcry of Lets Crash
It" by a group of 10 husky
youths repeatedly touched off
the first show of violence out
side the school auditorium.
There were about 500 persons
inside the auditorium and
some 1900 others outside in

British Lift Bank Rate
Toxes, Slash Expenses

LONDON, July IS (AP). -
Britain today boosted the basic
interest rate. increased pur-
chase and excise taxes, and
called for a reduction of gov
ernment spending in an at
tempt to correct the country'S
faltering economy.
Selwyn Lloyd, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, presented a
crisis budget Of these inter-
locking austerity measures to
the House of Commons.
1t touched off an angry
demonstration by opposition
Laborites. They shouted de-
mandS for the Conservative
government to resign.
The Bank Of England inter-
est rate went from 5 to Z per
cent-the highest it has been
since the Suez crisis of 1856.
The bank rate governs interest
charges throughout the coun-
try. Raising the rate tends to
tighten credit and, the gov
ernment hopes, check initiation.
Might Drain U. S. Reserves
There was some speculation
in business circles that the
bank rate increase might start
a new drain on United States
gold reserves, since specula-
tors probably will pump money
into London to take advantage
of the bigger interest yield,
School teachers will be
among the first to feel the
weight of the economies.
Mr.. Lloyd turned down sal
ary boosts recommended for

Mr.. Lloyd added a 10 per

Five policemen were injured

he could see no valid reason
for a general ban.
