God Of Creation" Film
To Be Shown Sunday
At Presbyterian Church

Everyone is invited and en-
couraged to attend the showing
of the film God of Creation" in
the sanctuary of the First Pres
byterian Church at ZOO p. M,
Sunday, March IL.
This film is one of the all
time favorite Moody films. II
covers a wide range of sub
jects.
With the telescope we explore
the immensely of space and
with the microscope peer into
the teeming world of tiny crea-
lures in a single drop of water
A variety of blossoms that nor
mally take weeks to mature open
on the screen in a matter of
seconds. An ugly worm is trans
formed into a lovely butterfly.
And in all, we see that the power
and beauty of growing things
evidence Gods infinite care in
all His Creation.
This film will be preceded by
a Family Night Supper at 500
for the congregation in the base
.nent.

IF you want a good place to
live, Greenville is your place."
Holding Carter told an Ameri-
car Association of University
Women luncheon at the Jackson
Country Club Saturday.
The Greenville editor referred
to his home town as nearly
unique in Mississippi" in that
everyone was accorded the right
to do his own thinking and peo-
pie of varying opinions could
not only survive, but prosper.
He said Greenville is "the
place l love better than any
other place in the world"
Greenville seems to return the
compliment because Carter has
been honored by his fellow citi-
zens there twice within recent
months in a fine show of appre-
citation and affection by civic and
social groups.
This is the kind Of attitude
which every community or city
should seek to inspire in its
citizens.
When the citizens of a COM
munity do not feel that way
then there is bound to be some
thing wrong, either with the
place or the people.

ment. The program is sponsored
locally by the City of Lexing-
ton and the Lexington Chamber

by Mayor Allie 5. Povall, Lex
ington scored $40 points out of
800 needed for a community of
Lexington's size to qualify for a

40 points out of a needed $40.

ten City Hall lawn as oon as
improvements underway there
are completed. AS the communi-
ty works and brings up its stan
dards in the various categories
in the future, a plaque will be
given to display with the sign.
Four Fields Chosen
Although it is hoped Lexing-
ton will show steady improve
ment in every category mention
ed, there are four fields which
have been selected for special
emphasis during the next year:
health and sanitation, streets,
police and traffic and recreation.
In two of these categories,
health and sanitation and in
police and traffic, Lexington
scored high while streets and re
creation leave much to be de-
sired.
The interest, cooperation and
assistance of all citizens will be
sought in this progrsm designed
TO make Lexington a better place
in which to live and do business.
