Two-Dimensional Religion Not
Enough, DR.. Bluf0rd Advises

Today's troubled world is filled
with people with an insufficient,
two dimensional religion. DR..
Robert Bluford, il, told Long
wood College students Tuesday.
People with religious length.
or time devoted to religion, are
increasing; persons with religi-
GUS width or involvement in
church related activities, are
growing in numbers. The desper-
ate need, however. is for persons
with religious depth, the faith
which is the heart and soul of
real religion. the campus Religi-
Gus Emphasis Week speaker said.
The absence of such depth is
responsible for the spiritual shall
lowness which leaves people I'M
prepared for life or for adversely,
DR.. Bluford declared. The lack
of it is also responsible for the
deceptlveneSS which reveals to
unconvinced observers not dedi-
Gated Christians, but religious
hypocriteS, he said.
Visit Ends Friday
Dr.. Bluford. director of Cam
puS Christian Life for the Presby-
terrain Church U. S., Board of
Christian Education, is spending
five days on the Longwood cam

annual student religious re-evalu-
alton program. His 6:45 pm.
service tonight Thursday in
Jarman Hall and a am, morn
ing meditation in Johns Me-
mortal Episcopal Church Friday
conclude the week.
The first step in gaining depth
is fearlessness to question re-
ligion and the validity of one S
faith. God doesn't forbid the use
of our minds. We aren't required
to leave our brains at the front
door when entering the church.

must stop being spectators and

it's convenient, or is exercised

Lastly, depth sheds light on

Town Streets
Take Terrible
Beating In Cold
Council Orders
Plans For New
Clear Water Well

Our roads are all to pieces"
Town Manager E. L. Quisenberry
told the town council Tuesday
night at the regular meeting. If
it continues to freeze and thaw
for another month. I don't know
what we will do" he added.
To Mr.. Average Taxpayer, sit
ting at home by the fire. the cold
weather is definitely a nuisance.
But to the town officials the pro-
longed cold spell means trouble.
Not only do the roads take a ter
rifle beating. but the water sys-
tenn catches it too. QuiSenberry
reported that during the coolest
part of last month many water
lines and water meters were froz-
en-. that required much extra
work on the part of the town
force.
The town roads are certainly
suffering from the freezing and
thawing. This effects the black
top roads as well as the cement
highway along Third Street. Quis-
enberry reported that Third Street
between South and North streets
was getting in poor shape.
Council was powerless to take
any action to prevent further
damage to the streets, but they
took consolation in the fact that
the town plans to start its black
topping program as soon as pos
Sible in the spring.
The council also complimented
QuiSenberry and the town force
for the fine job they have done
on the streets during the snow.
New Well Plans
The council directed the water
committee to go ahead and have
plans drawn for a new clear wa
ter we'll This is the next step in
an overall development plan to
continue to improve the water
system in Farmville.
When the new clear water we'll

ed that the total cost of the pro-

would be As feet square and

A petition from a group of tax
payers from the East Third street
area, was heard and the situation

The petition asked for addition
