THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1951 A LIFT FOR TODAY God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts, io give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Cor. 4:6 RADIANT LOVE and joy on the face of our Lord came from his conscious communication with the Eternal Father; the knowledge that He and the Father, making him in truth th Light of the World. Fill uir with Thy love, Father, that we too, "Th? Kfnrdora of God is within 100,000 BY I960 On the Qf the 1953 Bureau of Census eslirnatf? and the ytir that has passed since then, Robeson County's pres- population can be estimated roughly at 92,500 persons, and can be expected to reach the 100,000 mark in I960. The Census estimate as of July 1, 1953, was 91,315 up fpur per cent from the official 1950 Census figure of 87,769.

The gain in number of persons was 3,546 during the three- year period, or very nearly 100 persons a month. The same rate of gain would put Robeson's population up to 100,000 six years from now. At that time, assuming a continuation of the trend toward proportionate increases in the Indian and Negro populations than in the white population, the division of races can estimated roughly at: 40,00.0 white, 33,000 Negro and 27,000 Indian. The 1950 Census shpwed Robeson's 87,169 population to be made up of 37,490 white persons, 27,726 Negroes and Indians which amounts to approximately 43 per cent white, 31 per cent Nejpco and per cent Indian. However, in the period fcpiji 1950, the non-white population of Robeson per cent to 57.3 per cent, difference of a ten-year period, this would be an increase of three'per'cent.

Such an increase between 1950 and 1960 presumably would bring up the Negro population to 33 per cent and the Indian population to 27 per cent of the total, leaving 40 per cent white population. WINDSTORM, NO LESS damag is said to be something that nobody knows Anything about, in connection with last week's hurricane. Whatever havoc was wrecked was by winds, according to popular report. One reason why such a report would be popular is that hundreds of persons in the Carolinas had beach cottages that were: damaged or destroyed by the hurricane. The kind of that most of them had was "extended coverage" Deluding windstorm.

There is not the slightest doubt that there was a. windstorm of hurricane proportions, and that after it subsided there wreckage where houses had stood before it came along. But.right on the heels of the hurricane a Question was raised, whether "extended coverage" protection would include water damage; This looks like hair-splitting, inasmuch as water from somewhere usually accompanies a hurricane. A downpour. or rain over a wide area is the rule rather than the exception when a hurricane comes along.

In the past few months, it had begun to look like that was about the only way Robeson County was going to be able to get any rain. From a legalistic and technical standpoint, it is possible to take two things, that normally are parts of the same whole and. consider them separately. But if technicalities are used to bar the recovery of insurance claims for hurricane damage, tee ultimate losers are likely to be the insurance companies, for one of their greatest assets is public confidence in insur- and that confidence is based on the record of claims paid. Several times, in connection with other hurricanes, the comment has been made here that naming them for girls seemed silly.

However, judging from the reports of beach cottage owners, some of the insurance companies seem to be under the impression that this most recent hurricane was named H2O, the chemical symbol for water. Just for the record, the only hurricane that visited these parts in the past week was named Hazel, and silly or not that name stands for a sure- enough windstorm. It was made up partly of water and partly ol sand and sticks and stones and tree limbs and signboards ind a lot of other things that blew arounoV but the principal Ingredient of Hurricane Hazel, like most oj her kin, was wind. Worid Today Cliat Suggested With Tubman On Segregation By CUKAUll (Kor Murlow) WASHINGTON LiP Somebody ought to sit down with Brother Shad before he leaves town -o- night and huve a chat about raca segregation and such matters. "Brother Shad" is ihe affectionate ninny voters have bestowed on their President, who winding up a ihree- lay official visit Io Washington, His full name Dr.

William Va- ranaiv.t Shadrach Tubmai). frtei.iU call him Shad." As ihe Negro President of a Negio republic. Tubman knows a Jot about racial problems such as mary American communities are concerned wi'h. "There he says, "not the slighicst shade of discrimination of any kind in Liberia." And 1. Only Negroes are allowed to vote.

2. For decades there have been barriers between the country's 100,000 "civilized" inhabitants and the more than 'two million tribesmen of the interior. 3. For decades, too, there have been feuds between the tribes. The present political setup in Liberia stems from a revolt in the 1880s by darker-skinned "common men" against the then dominant Republican party, which was controlled by lighter-skinned Negroes.

Tubman, a dark-skinned, cigar- smoking son of a Methodist minister, has moved energetically to narrow the gulfs between differing elements of the population. He called a national council last May, fired two district commissioners and suspended a tribal chief, and gave his people a firm talking-to. "It has been proved in our own lifetime," he said, "that the civilized population cannot get along the uncivilized; neither element can exterminate the other. "For more than 80 years since the founding fathers (from the American South) settled here, we have tried to destroy each other by internal war For the past 10 years we have been working hard for the unification of the people, but there are still a few diehards on both sides opposing the unification program." Tubman is the friendliest of men and a good story teller. But when he lays down the law he does it bluntly.

How do people take this? Well, the tribal chiefs, at seem to be solidly in Tubman's corner. "Tubmanism has swept throughout the country," says Nyemoweh Chief Himie Langfor, according to the public relations firm which is publicizing the President's trip. And Johnnie Voker, head man of another clan, says: "We were all blind but President Tubman has opened our eyes. We will hold him tight." One solid sign the Tubman technique works: The President has served one eight-year term, was re-elected to a four-year term and is an odds-on favorite to win a third term. The United States is helping.Li- beria through a five-year program of technical aid, mostly to industry and agriculture.

Tubman is here in the hope of getting that program extended. He's also working in a few social engagements such as a dinner friday night-in Akron, Ohio, and something that may surprise some people--a trip to Georgia at the invitation of Gov. Herman Talmadge. AND YOU SHOULD SEE HIS PRESS CLIPPINGS! JL1PPED COMMENT SIATTIE DEAR REMINDS U5 (Memphis Press-Scimitar) Do we always give our Silent Partner as much credit as u'e should? Man who loves his garden says he used to swell pride when he could give a friend a box or two of luscious strawberries or pick a few ears of Golden Bantam corn. Now, he hopes he has a more reverent feeling in regard to any success he achieves in his gardening He got new inspiration from a letter which Mattie Dear, chit-chat columnist, of Alligator, wrote to The "Mr.

PCRXELT, BAILEY Public Forum Democrats Still Cuss Hoover, But Who Promoted Russia Into Power?

It might be less trouble if we were to agree with the author of Ecclesiastes that "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking gnd let it go at that. However, if it is good politics for men should know better, and who should be abqya such cheap and disgusting political "tactics, to revile an honorable old man every campaign year for something he probably wasn't responsible for, I see np reason fo soft-pedal the a i misconceptions of the: Roosevelt and Truman regimes, which in comparison were a thousand times worse. It would, no doubt, be impossible to accurately catalogue the many conniving and deceptive acts and apparently, stupid mistakes, in regard to both national and international affairs, that have taken place since the inception of the New Deal in 1932. For instance, the recognition of an outlawed and Communistic Russia by the Roosevelt Administration was the greatest tragedy that ever befell the American people. This followed up by a "iend-lease" outright gift of sev- eral billion dollars, as well as ships, planes, tanks, guns and butter.

After the close of World War 2, she (Russia) was given several other billions for rehabilitation purposes and she was also allowed by the Allies to rob Germany of all her industrial machinery, wliich was later replaced by American dollars. Later by the "hoss-swapping" tactics indulged in by our leaders at both Yalta and Potsdam, Russia was given carte blanche control of most of Middle Europe, Manchuria, China and half of Korea, without a struggle. Thus the United States, through its leaders, has been placed in the role of a Frankenstein, who sooner or later will be destroyed by its own handiwork to wit a re-resurrected Russia. Russia's attitude toxvard us is likened to the man xvho through compassion, warmed the frozen viper in his bosom only to die later from its bite. Will xve, in the next two years, put a bunch of scheming politicians back in power that have not only allowed our government to become infested with Communists who have, no doubt, sold Russia our every military secret, and xyho have crucified every American, Democrat'or Republican, that dared to make any attempt to weed out Communism? It now looks as if we will.

Sutton spoke briefly to eulogize the genius of Thomas" Edison, who was being honored at dedications and luncheons throughout the land. Referring briefly to the recent hurricane.

Sutton paid warm tribute to the men and women who worked without regard for rest or personal comfort to restore electric service. "Thomas Jefferson 178 a ago promised every American the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," Sutton said. "Thomas Edison helped him keep the promise. Electrical i i leaves us free to pursue real happiness." He declared that perhaps the most far-reaching and exciting prospect is presented by atomic power for the future. The dedication opened and closed with concerts by the U.

S. Marine Corps Band from Camp Lejeune. Others on the program were Mayor E. White of Wilmington, a Wilmington guard, and Dr. B.

NY Truck Drivers (Continued From Page One) firms broke the solid employer front Monday, the first work day of the strike, and signed individual contracts with the union.

''It is evident that the trucking industry serving the area from Trenton, N.J., to Poughkeepsie, N.Y.. has been conquered by the union in a manner not much different than as though they had been conquered by the Communists," Adelizzi said. Adelizzi charged ihp union has been given power "to destroy business concerns, a power which even the federal government does not have because of the protective provisions of the Constitution." At the same time, Adelizzi announced withdrawal of a 10-million-dollar damage suit against the union and seven large trucking concerns which were among me first to give in. Adelizzi conceded the suit did not have "much law" in it. The new contract provides for a 20-cent-an-hour straight wage increase plus 5 cents to cover pension, insurance and vacation benefits.

JThe union originally demanded 79 cents. Man Charged (Continued From Page One) Richardson went back in the house to get some clothes from an upstairs bedroom. "I leaned down by (he bed to say something to Guy (a brother) and the sheriff told me So hurry up, he was tired of waiting," Richardson said. "Someihing told me to pick up a shotgun leaning against a stand in the room and I did. I'd never had my hands on that gun before.

I raised it up and told the sheriff to get out of my way. He grabbed for me and the gun and we scuffled around for a minute and then he reached for his pistol. That's when I pulled the trigger of the shotgun. "He fell down on top of me. I pushed him aside and ran out.

Maybe I got the pistol later. Anyway. I in mv father's pickup." Richnrdson said he drove to the home of a friend, and got him to ride along to the forks of a road near the foot of Fisher's Peak, Surrys highest mountain. Then the man drove the truck away and hid it. Richardson said.

"I struck on up the mountain," he said. "I was up there, about 200 yards from the fire' tower, when the officers started up." Rural Electric Lines Hit Hard By Hazel "Hazel" hit hard on the l.SOO miles of rural electric lines serving 8,000 REA co-op members in Robeson, Scotland, Cumberland and Hoke Counties. Immediately following the storm, according to the management, there were less than 100 members wilh electric service. After a quick survey made by seven radio equipped trucks and five others without radios, much of this line was back on by 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

Eisenhower's address was inter- ruted seven times by applause. He got a standing ovation when he started and another -'-hen he concluded. THREE AVENUES He said this country has three avenues in its quest for peace." "First, we must tirelessly seek-- the United Nations, through every other availablo means--to establish the conditions for honorable peace.

"Second, we must promote the unity and collective strength of other free peoples. Third, we must a i a i enough military strength to deter aggression and promote peace." In elaborating on the latter point, he said: the armed strength of other free nations, our military power--the greatest in our peacetime history--is today a deterrent to war. This awesome power we must and shall maintain, for we are determined that at all times, in today's uncertain world, we shall be able to deal effectively and flexibly with whatever situations may arise." He pledged that America's forces "will never be used.to initiate war against any nation; they will be used only for the defense of the free world." Asserting that "we reject the extremes of both sides, the extreme right and the extreme left," the President told the cheering party workers: "We have the difficult task of dramatizing and selling moderate party government. He added that his administration is "one that is attacked from both sides'' but that the Republican parly was working to "save the basic principles the United States of America was founded on." The President was applauded and cheered loudly when he entered the meeting of campaign workers and they interrupted his talk with applause several times. He displayed the familiar Eisenhower smile in response to his welcome, and frequently at other times as he spoke informally.

Dai- ton, manager, states that 99 per cent of the high lines were back in service: however, there were still some -100 to 500 homes without electric service due to trees on individual services. The management warns cvcy individual to stay clear of all wires on Ihs ground, as so far no one has been hurt in the area served by bee River Electric Membership Corporation, either employee or member.

It is expected by Thursday evening the cooperative will be almost 100 per cent electrified again.
