C&O-B&O control plan would
be a major step toward the
proposed development of three
major rail systems in the East
through merger.
135-Year-Old Line
The Gao operates about
5,09l miles of railroad in a
generally " shaped pattern
running northeast and south
east from Chicago. One arm
runs through Detroit to Buff
falo, N. Y. The other extends
through Cincinnati to Wash
ington and Newport News, Va.
The railroads headquarters is
in Cleveland.
The B&O, which went from
riches to rags in its 135-year
history, operates about 500
miles of road in the District,
Maryland, Virginia, New York,
Delaware, Pennsylvania. West
Virginia. Ohio, Indiana, Ill
inois, Kentucky, Missouri and
Michigan. 1t is based in Balti-
more.
The Gao, whose property is
valued for rate making pur-
poses at $197, 7,46O,975, reported
net income ranging from $51.7
million in 1858 to $4.5 million
for the first quarter of 1861
By contrast, the BIOS prop
erty value for rate making pur-
poses was 1858, 9,453,455, but its
net income dropped steadily
during the same period from
$l6 million in 1858 to an $ll.c
million deficit for the first 1861
quarter.
Final 1861 net income fig
ures we're: C&O, a $29.6 million
profit; B&O, a $31.3 million
loss.
Formula for Swap
Officials of the two railroads
said the stock exchange in
volved would be one share OF
Gao common for each share
of B&O preferred plus Ia
shares of BIO common. Sub
sequent control by the Gao
would make available to the
B&O enough capital to put its
sagging plant back into shape
and enable it to compete more
effectively for traffic revenues.
The commission, which had
been processing the application
since June IA, 1860, cited this
as a major factor in its deci-
sion.
I'VE consider that our ap-
proval herein will result in a
financial strengthening of B&O
and permit it to make i'm
provements necessary to meet
adequately the transportation
service which it may reason
ably be expected to provide, ("
the ICC said.
Vital to Defense
1t also said the move would
help fill the needs of commerce
and national defense, which it
called "of paramount impor-
tance to the country"
A major feature Of the ICC
decision was that 1t implicitly
denied several requests for
simultaneous action on the
C&O-B&O plan and on the
proposed mergers of the Penn
sylvania with the New York
Central and the Norfolk &
Western with the Nickel Plate.
THE established need for ex-
pedited action in these proceed
ings (C&O-B&O case)," the
commission said. "overrides
any possible benefit which
could igcrue through the con-
solidation OF proceedings with
the resulting delay"
The ices decision upheld
the recommendations Of Hear
ing Examine John L. Brad
ford submitted last May /. Oral
arguments we're heard Octo-
Der % by the full commission.

mob departed and left fraction of its number to a mere 2,00O.
 Famous Past
 With time, great brawl and the bazaar events that went with it, have a peculiar habit of turning into an almost poignant memory. Into a romantic past, no less.
 Nome of today has that priceless bit of possession. The news of her hectic past has spread the world over. And people anywhere in the world are a curious lot.
 Citizens of Nome have come to know in recent years that their city has come to be quite a draw ing card. Since this is rather re- cent development and growing each year, who knows. Nome may have started another gold mine in tour ism.

some of history's better known citi- zens. Robert w. Service probably got a lifetime of poetry material in short space of time. Jack Lon- don and Rex Beach got private gold mines of material to draw from for their books. And then there was Tex Richard, tough, confident of his own prowess in the manly art of self defense. He invited all corners to a match and if any one of them de- feated him he would shell out $l00. One day young Irishman, big and unknown, challenged him. Tex was soundly thrashed and had to shell out the cool 100. He later became one of the best known fight man. agers in the world of pugilism.
 Vast Riches
 In the meantime the men moiled for gold. There was no denying it. Many were vastly successful. The accumulated wealth was shipped out by the millions of dollars worth to Seattle At times the supply seemed inexhaustible. But, alas like all good things in life, there must come an end The flow of gold turned to trickle by degrees. The bedlam subsided to a whisper. The

Eighty miles west of gGolovin lies the City of Nome. She rests peace fully on the beach and looks south across the Boring Sea. The physical aspects of Nome are the most un- assuming and ordinary in all the world.
 Nome is like a woman who had gained great notoriety and carried it easily on her shoulders. Nome re- fleets on the glory that was hers and she does it with dignity. In her formative years she was both naughty and generous at the same time. She did not care what her sister cities thought of her She grew fat and sassy on the riches her beaches afforded her.
 The Great Rush
 In 1902 someone stumbled on to hunk of yellow metal there. That started the spark that muShroomed the city almost overnight. The great rush was on and it was one of the most feverish of it's kind in history
 The magnet was turned on and it attracted all manner of men. This motley crowd assembled until the swelling stopped at a bulging 30.-. 900. Sprinkled in this beehive were

This rich man was very
foolish in the conclusions that
he reached: - Three great
mistakes in his life: The Bible
says, For more of us liveth
to himself and ne man dieth
to himself"
The rich man made three
great mistakes in his life.
First he left God out of his
plans, secondly, he sought to
satisfy the soul with material
things; and thirdly he pre-
sumed to live many years.
The man said, MANY years.
but God said Tonight" His
end came sooner than he at
ticipated. The life that is
lived in sin will be lost.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
The commandment on the
sin of greed or covetousness
is the basis of the discussion
in this lesson. The lesson pro-
vides an opportunity to dis
cuss our tendency to be ex-
cessively concerned about
life true values. The Biblical
passage concerning the sick
fool illustrates the futility AID
unhappy consequences Of
greed and covetousness. Also
to be stressed in this lesson
is the inherent worth of SER
vice as contrasted with false
ambition and the desire for
prestige and power and pro-
minence. 1t is not gold and
riches that bring peace and
contentment, but trust in God
does. When man abuses mis-
God-given probationary period
Cor has a right to with
draw it whenever He chooses.
1t is possible to be rich in
material things and poor in
heavenly blessings, while on
the other hand a person may
be poor, yet rich that is, poor
in material riches but rich in
grace. 1t is safer to trust IN
God than in money. This. will
become very evident in. the
hour of death.

barrier to proper ambition.
1t does not forbid us wanting
something just as good or
even better than someone
else has; only we must care
fully examine our motives.
The danger here comes close
to what we have already had
to say concerning respect for
human life and the proper
reverence for persons, To de-
sire something for ones self
and to be willing to deprive
some other person in order to
have what one desires are
two very different matters.
The latter is disregarding en-
tirely the feeling and the
rights of another person.
The last commandment the
first one broken, by every
person. One minister said,
"All babies lie before they
can talk and steal before they
walk. p" The spirit of cove
tousness is manifested very
early in the lives of children.
The spirit of covetousness is
rooted very deeply in the soul.
THE FATAL EXTREMI-
TY OF GREED:
We have heard quite a bit
about poor FOOLS; in this
parable, Jesus tells a pathe-
tic story of a rich fool. The
fields of a certain rich man
brought forth abundantly.
There was nothing wrong with
this, abundant production
should be the goal of every
farmer.
This farmers production
out ran the storage capacity
of his barns, so that his sur
plus created a storage pro-
blem. He applied himself to
the problem and reached a
conSluSion, Il know what |
will do" There is no doubt
in his mind, no alternative to
a wrong decision. Il will tear
down my old barns and build
larger ones and there | will
bestow my fruits and my
goods. And / will say to my
soul, soul thou hast much
goods laid up for many
years.

DELEGATES FOR THE

of Jehovah's Witnesses in
Greenwood, Mississippi have
returned from the three-day
convention held in Holly
Springs, Mississippi, March
Gil.
The highlight of the three
day program was a public
lecture delivered by James
A. Thompson. Thompson is a
travelling representative from
Jehovah's Witnesses world
headquarters in Brooklyn,
New York. Thompson spoke
on the subject "Who Will
Rule the World?"
279 persons listened closely
as Thompson said, people
are concerned at to whether
the Communist East or the
Democratic West will win out
in the contest for world domi-
nation"
1.-THE Bible indicates hom.
ever, the everlasting world
ruler will be a Higher Power
than man. The present evil
world is not really ruled by
Communists, or Democrats
but by the god of this world,
Satan the Devil as 2 Cor. "A
calls him."
"Christ Jesus will rule the
world" Thompson continued.
ellis rule will end Satan's
rule making the earth a para
disc in accord with Eek.

"The issue of Who Will
Rule The World? will be
settled in this generation"

Thompson conc ! u d e d
Hence, he added, cit is inn
perative that each one choose
as to whether he will bear
the wooden yoke of Christ
Jesus or the iron yoke of
Satan"
Another outstanding feature
of the three-day program was
a baptismal service in which
18 new ministers were inn
mersed.
Those baptized will follow
the methods of evangelism
exemplified by Jesus and his
disciples. This will include
preaching from door to door,
making return visits to in
terested persons and conduct
ing free Bible studies with
them.

IA
Scripture Lesson Exodus
20:17; Mark 10:35-45; Luke
12:13-21
MEMORY SELECTION -
Take heed, and beware of
covetousnesS: for a mans
life consistent not in the abun-
dance of the things which he
possesseth. duke 12:15).
CovetouSnesS is sin and the
sin that is rooted the most
deeply in mans sinful nature.
Generally this is the sin that
manifests itself the earliest
in life.
Covering that which does
not belong to us but to an
other, which he have no legal
right to take to ourselves,
creates greed in the heart
and leads to envy.
These are Companion sin to
covertousness. The admoni-
ton is to take heed and be-
ware this sin may easily
creep into the heart and bring
bitterness of heart to the par
ticipant.
Life consists of infinitely
more qualities and issues
than the possession of ma
terial substance. Life is
sacred trust from God and
should be lived for God and
is lived best for God by His
importation of eternal life,
which is the best, the richest
and the most valuable pos
session any man can own.
COVETOUSNESS, TIL E
GATEWAY TO GREED:
"Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbours -" The sin of
greed begins not with desire,
but with desire for what al
ready belongs to someone
else. "Thy neighbours wife,
nor his manservant nor his
maidservant, nor his OK, nor
his ass, nor anything that is
thy neighbours"

Legislative Reapportionment Is Needed Now

zens of a state would not be compelled
to appeal to the Federal courts to OBJ
tain justice if their state legislative
bodies would give them justice.
In this case on which the u. S.
Court acted, it was pointed out it had
been 81 years since the State Assem-
bly, in Tennessee had reapportioned it's
seats in accordance with it's own state
constitution. The situation is that only
thirty-seven per cent of Tennessee's
voters today elect twenty Ca clear ma
jority) of the thirty-three senators
who serve all the people. Only forty
per cent of the voters elect sixty-three
of the ninety-nine members in the
House. The inequity of this is apparent
to any fair-minded person who believes
in democratic, representative govern
ment in the republican system to which
we adhere in this country.
How can any government be
truly representative of the people it
purports to serve with such an i'm
balance?
The answer obviously is that it
cannot = and the situation should be
remedied.
If our legislatures would do the
laundry as they should, it would not
be necessary for sorely-pressed city
jewellers to take their case to Federal
court.
The need for action by our own
Mississippi Legislature is plainly appa-
rent. There has been no reapportion-
ment of seats therein since 1890. The
gross inequities which exist in the
makeup of our state Senate and House
have been highly publicized and are
widely known.
But we suppose it is much too
much to expect our Legislature to do
anything about them until they are
forced to do so by the courts.
