OOTOBER 1954 A LIFT FOR TODAY He hath showed thee, man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy 6:8 WE MUST BE made good first, before we can do good; for when we are justified by faith in Christ, then come good works. --Latimer God, by partakinc of Thy Holiness, may we our names in kindness, mercy and love on the hearts of our fellow- Men (hat ihey, too, may become Thy children Park -O WELCOME NEW MARKET For the benefit of everybody concerned, it may be hoped that the sweet potato market opening in Lumberton this week will have successful sales and become so well established in its first season that its operation again next year Mil be assured. Probably at no time since World War II, with the exception of last year, has the possibility of a new income source for fanners been so welcome as it is at present. Tobacco sales now tapering off, have given Robeson County a seasonal boost in income, as usual, but in most instances the net re- tltrta from tobacco farming have been less than in former years, while the expenses of farming remain high.

The only immediate answer to the problem of maintaining income appears to be extra crops, and sweet potatoes are an important addition of this kind. It easy guess that some farmers raising-sweet potatoes for the first time will be more successful than that some will find crop less profitable than thev had hoped for. if sweet potatoes are compared with "other cash crops, it may be remembered that these other crops have grown much longer and'that farmers have a lot of experience with themo.Al the sweet potatoes marketed here will be in' comjjtetttum.Sorfar as 'buyers are concerned with those put on qjher; markets by have ex- are getting for the first time. However the sweet potato marketing season'turn, out there is reason to believe that the establishment of this market was a step in 'the right direction, and that Eventually Lumberton may have a full-scale produce market handling enough different kinds of produce so that even if one crop fails there will be others to make up the loss. -O ON ADULT An examiner the Interstate Commerce Commission has ruled that neither the federal Constitution nor federal laws prohibit segregation of passengers in interstate travel That's not the end of it, for the case is expected to receive a lull review by the ICC.

But it least a puff of wind in a different direction from recent gales. This particular case, which originated -on an intestate bus North Carolina, seems almost refreshing by comparison with recent school segregation cases ruled on by the Supreme Court. For it deals with adults directly, instead of through their children. The bus passenger in this case was a grown woman, who objected to separate seating arrangements lor different races and made an of it. Without endorsing the woman's action, it still can be said that she acted directly and in a forthright manner by bringing up the issue herself, instead of putting children on the bus and protesting their behalf.

She apparently recognized segregation and integration as adult problems, whereas the Supreme Court has tossed the same kind of problems into the lap, of school children and their teachers. In another bus seating problem seems like a more nearly ideal subject for a Supreme Court decision than segregation in schools. It involves an arrangement that may yet be tned in schools before the present controversy is settled. That seating members of different races from different parts of the vehicle until a meeting point is reached. If a bus as crowded and some members of different races near each other, cach can recognize that it is not from choice and there i.

no particular challenge to prejudice. Among the many proposals that have been made for meeting the school integration problem, one that has been considered but not yet tned is tnal of establishing separate schools plus integrated schools, so as to allow a choice. Each race would have separate schools, but there also would be a raee ing point Jor races an integrated school, and those who wanted integration would be able to have it No matter how far the bus case is carried, it is unlikely to Produce any change in the court deciszon on school inte- gnmon. But the ICC examiner's ruling already has indkated that the school integration decision is not a general desegre- ga order, and that al, other regulations that distinguish between races have not abandoned at least not yet Laws that may be "on their way out" stiH can be enforced and to be obeyed, even if they are protested. CLIPPED COMMENT "The poet once wrote.

a bucke ashc Th of the H-bomb today, tha has fearsome MaUoon (111.) Journal-Gazette. If ynu have trouble gettinjt a man to take your ad try By JAMES MAKLOW WASHINGTON tn--From what can be seen of his tactics, Pierre Mendes-France, the French premier and foreign minister, has proved himself a superb gambler. At the nine-power London conference which agreed.to let West Germany rearm, Mendes-France played one of the toughest, shrewdest and most daring games of diplomatic poker in recent years. France could have come out of that game discredited, isolated and perhaps forced to watch her allies let the Germans rearm whether tho French liked it or not' and without any French say about how much rearming Germans could do. The result could have swept the French into a backwater of history, reducing them to the status of a truly second-rate European power.

But at the same time, Mendes- France knew the enormous stake which his allies. particularly the Americans and British, had in this game. They wanted quickly a real, and not illusory, defense against Russia. To make it real called for a Germany rearmed in alliance with the French, not a Germany rearmed at the of an angered France. So, a Mendes-France knew how much France could lose if he lost, he knew also that his allies would have to choose between losing the chance for a firm defense or making concessions to him.

He went into the London conference with the United States, Britain and Germany more' than a week ago demanding concessions. One of the biggest concessions he wanted was from the British. He wanted the British to reverse an age-old policy and promise to keep British troops on the European continent as a guarantee against the day when perhaps a rearmed Germany might turn on her French ally. The old British policy had been to make alliances with European nations, balancing one off against the never committing her own troops to service on the Continent. The United States and Britain had both tried to push the French mto joining a single European army with rearmed Germany.

This would have meant, for giving up their own nationWarmy! That was one of the reasons the French Assembly voted down the single-army idea. Among other reasons was the British refusal to heed the French request that they keep troops in Europe permanently. The British might have saved the single army if they had given that promise. Instead, they sat on their hands. Mendes-France sat on his hands too while the 'Assembly did its work.

He didn't lift a finger for the single army. He must have known the Assembly action would create a Western crisis. The Allies would have to seek an alternative fast or face the prospect of a hollow defense against Russia. They did seek the alternative in a called the London conference. There, last Wednesday.

British Foreign Secretary Eden promised British troops would be kept on the Continent. Some of the diplomats there reportedly wept, knowing they were participants in a historic moment. US Manufacturer Two Children To Produce Cars Stabbed To Death In Argentina BUENOS AIRES. Argentina IB- Henry J. Kaiser signed a contract early today to manufacture cars, trucks and jeeps in Argentina in partnerhip with President Juan D.

Peron's government. The U.S. industrialist will invest 10 million dollars worth of machinery, representing about one third of the capital, in the new company. He will manage the manufacturing for the new company, to be owied by himself, the Argentine government and Argentine private investors. The agreement culminated two months of negotiations.

It was to have been signed yesterday afternoon but last minute details delayed the ceremony until after midnight. For Kaiser, the deal permits him to manufacture automotive equipment in Argentina--starved for cars and trucks--and with machinery he. owns in the United States. This machinery is useless to him there, where the auto market is oversupplied and the independents are squeezed out by Ford and General Motors. For Peron, the agreement represents the first big industrial invest ment under his plan to attract foreign capital, make Argentina in- dustnally self-sufficient and aid the nation's lagging 'economy.

Kaiser's goal is to produce 40 000 units annually in Argentina. He promised build the plant in one year, start turning out motor cars by the end of the second year and reach full production in three years. HONOLULU (Jv-Two small children were stabbed to death and their young mother, wife of a Navy lieutenant, and a third child were seriously wounded yesterday.

'Murderer'Not Wanted In NC ASHEVILLE WJ--Asheville police said last-night they did not want a 49-year-old sailor who confessed a "murder" in Washington Sunday. Floyd McHone told Washington he choked a girl friend to death 1950 in an Ashevilla park But Dr. P. R.

Terry, Buncombe County coroner, said the girl friend died of paint thinner poisoning. McHone, arrested on a drunkenness charge, told police he strangled Mrs. Edith Ma Smith, 24, in Asheville in 1950. Asst. Police Chief A.R.

Sluder said no move has been made to return McHone because of Dr. Terry's finding. But Solicitor Lamar Gudser said the matter is subject "further study and investigation."

To me this'is a favorite verse of Scripture because it serves to turn man's gaze from himself to the God who made him, and Who is far more able to deal with the crucial issues of our time than any of us who are finite beings and subject to definite limitations. Sometimes we are tempted to wonder how matters are going to turn out in the midst of a tragic world, and then as we read these lines of the Psalmist we are reminded that the last chapter of history will not be written by evil men, but that in due season God's name and way.will prevail. A great deal of our discouragement is due to aa inadequate conception of God, and to insufficient, faith to believe that the forces of evil are subject to the sovereignty of God.

The New Testament verse which might correspond with this verse from the Psalmist is the one in which Jesus said to His followers: "Be of good cheer, have overcome the world." It is in this assurance that we find our peace and face the future with renewed confidence. Dr. Edward Hughes Prudea First Baptist Church Vashingtoo, D. C. 'Nickels For Know-How'Meet Set For Thursday Agricultural workers in Robeson County will meet Thursday evening at o'clock at (he Robeson courthouse to make plan's for the "Nickels For Know- How" referendum which is to be held Oct.

15 throughout the state. The Nickels For Know-How is a program by which farm people jntribute to agricultural research and education by voluntarily adding a nickel a ton to the feed and fertilizer they buy. The question to be put belore the farm voters for the continuation of the program by a two- thirds majority Oct. 15, is essentially the same posed last year when the first referendum was voted upon. The question: "Are you- for or against 'adding 5 cents to the price of feed and fertilizer'for a period of three years for supplementing an expanding agricultural research and educational program in North Carolina?" Prices Raised On TV Sets NEW YORK manufacturers have increased prices on their television sets in a move expected to be followed by others.

Philco Corp. boosted prices $10 to 520 on 15 of its models yesterday and Sylvania Electric Products, made similar increases on five of its sets. A few days earlier Allen B. DuMont Laboratories had brought out a new line priced $10 to $20 higher than comparable models in the previous line. Emerson Radio Phonograph Corp.

notified distributors that increased prices on its sets would become effective Oct. 15. The amounts of the increases were not specified. 1 There were no changes by Philco DuMont-and Sylvania on their lou-- est price "leader" sets. Manufacturers have contended some -time that their profit margins had been pared too thin in competition for lower prices, and that, price increases were inevitable.

With set sales running at high levels, one industry official said privately, this appeared to be an appropriate time to make the boost in prices. Former Slave Receives Honor CHICAGO Mary McLeod Bethune, 79. of Daytona Beach, a former slave and founder of the National Council of Negro Women, was honored last night as 'Brother of The Century" by the Doric Miller Foundation. Mrs. Bethune, who founded the Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach in 1904, also was presented a trophy for her work for advancement, of Negroes.

PURNELL BAILEY Rachel Carson in "The Sea Around Us" tells how the waves of a severe stonn are likely to be armed with stones and rock fragments. Once a rock weighing 135 pounds was thrown higher than the light-keeper's' house on the Tillamook Rock, 100 feet above sea level. As it fell, it tore a 20 foot hole through the roof. She tells of other lighthouses whose windows have been broken repeatedly by stones broken from the cliffs and tossed by the waves. Things happen like that in the moral and spiritual world, too.

Any light-keeper in this sick and dark world can expect some stones. And the greater the storm the more hazardous the odds. That's the nature of light-giving! Tliis is the victory thilt ovcr- cometli thp world, even our faith, (1 John 5:4) UN Clash Shapes On Disarmament UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. CS -An East West clash over handling of the touchy disarmament question shaped up in the If.N. Assembly today as Russia prepared to press demands that her new plan receive solo billing.

Western powers lined up in opposition to any attempt by Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky to tain adoption of his call for individual attention at this afternoon's meeting of the 15-nation Steering Committee. The committee is discussing arrangement of items on the Assembly's agenda and the order in which they will be discussed. The Western powers argue that the plan Vishinsky presented last week for step-by-step disarmament should be lumped with the Disarmament Commission report already listed for debate on the debate on Assembly program. It was generally felt the Russian, in demanding a separate place on the agenda, was seeking another chance to go into the substance of his disarmament proposal and tiy to sell it. Negro Citizens Civic Committee Ends Second Year The Lumberton Negro Civic Committee will end its cec.

America by 1975 will great rise in the demand for eleo- trical energy because of the anticipated growth of five major industries. The National Association of Manufacturers quotes W. V. O'Brien, vice president. General Electric Company, in the forecast for increased power use.

He visualizes 100 percent increase in electrical power usage by the paper industry, now the third largest user in the nation. 25 percent increase by the printing industry. Sizable increases' by the rubber, synthetic textile and iron ore industries. Mr. O'Brien also pointed out that whereas steam tubbine-gen- erators have increased in size from 50,000 to 125,000 kilowatts, generating units as large as 250,000 kilowatts now are being manufactured.

Adenauer Receives Ovation From West German Parliament Germany Konrad Adenauer got an ovation from Parliament today as he ro- viu-ecl results of the London conference that are to make West Germany a free partner in the Western world's defenses. West Germany obtains'''the full power of a sovereign state over its internal and foreign activities," through the historic nine-power agreement signed Sunday, he said. The 78-year-old Chancellor said the Western allies would retain special rights only with regard to a settlement with Russia over reunification of divided Germany, the security of Berlin and a final peace treaty. Adenauer stressed the readiness shown by the United States, Britain and France in the London confer- ence to work with the Federal Republic for reunification. They re- the Bonn regime as the only legally constituted government able to speak for Germany.

There was applause when he commended the British for their part in promoting the conference. He described Britain's pledge to keep her forces on the European continent as "the greatest example of British statesmanship." Adenauer said that another factor in bringing about the agreement to rearm West Germany was the promise of U.S. Secretary of state Dulle to seek President Eisenhower's approval of stationing U.S. troops in Europe indefinitely. Adenauer spoke for an hour.

The session then adjourned until Thursday, when his policy statement will be debated. NORTH CAROLINA SOUTH NORTHERN MEET OFF CAAOUNA'S COAST FOR. PABU LOUS tt'sh varfeffes may hif your lure GCOO IN YOU CAW FISH IN FRESH StAPLf? IN A MOTE TO THE OEPT. OF CONSERVfVTON.
