WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, A LIFT FOR TODAY Put them in fear, Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but 9:20. As we celebrate this day in'our country it would be well for all of us to pray humbly the above prayer of the Psalmist. And as we pray it, to feel the urgent need of our own nation to heed these words; for we have grown to be a proud people, too little given to seeking God's help. God, may we put our trust in not in worldly power BIGGEST GIFT YET "Largest gift from one source in the history of the college" has been received by Flora Macdonald College at Red Springs, according to announcement by Dr.

Marshall S. Wood- president. That, he said, was the $83,500 grant from the Ford Foundation, which is intended primarily for use in supplementing salaries of faculty members. Like other grants by the Ford Foundation, this is a handsome gift. Only a few foundations in the entire nation have the resources to make so many gifts of such size.

The total Ford grants to colleges and universities in North Carolina alone, for faculty salary increases, amounts to 53,000,000. Flora Macdonald has received other handsome gifts over a period of years, helping it to keep going until a big windfall like this came along. Continuous and dependable support can be even more helpful than occasional support that is spectacular in size. But the Ford Foundation grant sets a record and puts a limit on guesses about the size of gifts to the college froHi any other sources. A quarter a dollar with all the taxes taken out, Elberton a Star.

Averell Harriman says he is pleased with hit reception on a Midwest farm tour and, preparing to go South, won't look for support from "any Dixie- crats like Sen. Eastland CD- Miss)." The New York chief executive, aspirant for the Democratic nomination for president, expressed himself on a brief plane stopover here yesterday en route home. Harriman said he will confine himself in the South to an effort to get Southern "liberals" on his side.

From his Farm Belt tour in Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota. Harriman indicated enthusiasm. talked about it in an interview at Willow Run Airport. ''The farmers," he said, "are in revolt, and thoroughly sick of the Eisenhower-Benson fine talk about supports white their prosperity is fading steadily. The family farm is being plowed under." He said he expects to get strong support from Michigan delegates to the Democratic convention if and when Gov.

G. Mennen Williams releases them from their "favorite son" pledge. He was critical of President Eisenhower in regard to the steel strike. He said the President had failed to use the prestige of his office to try to settle the dispute. NEW HIGHWAY SPEEDS A charge of speeding 100 miles an hour can produce a stiff sentence, as indicated by the experience of one man in Lumberton Recorder's Court recently.

His case was appealed after a four months roads sentence had been imposed. Only a few years ago, testimony about speeding that fast could be taken with a gram of salt. 100 miles an hour was merely the top figure on an automobile speedometer. Few if any American stock cars, at any price, could deliver that kind of speed. But now, several makes of automobiles, including some of the less expensive models, have been timed officially at speeds of "00 and higher.

A new car owner who claims that his car will do over 100 no longer amazes anybody. He is as likely as LJ ot; "So wiial?" The powerful capabilities of modern cars also have been made known to the courts. If a person is charged with speeding 100 miles an hour in a new car, the court is likely to recognize that this is possible. But that does not make it acceptable, when the legal speed limit is 55. The law still is very conservative about highway speeds.

It is more concerned about what drivers should do than about what cars can do. A four-months sentence to the roads is a grim prospect for a person who gets caught speeding, particularly if that person happens to be a law-abiding citizen in other ways. Even the suspension of a driver's license, for speeding ever 70, can be a distressing handicap. One way to avoid both would be for the owner of a fast car to place a governor on it, limiting its top speed to 70. That allows plenty of leeway for normal driving, including passing other cars.

Whenever the temptation to see what the car will do becomes overpowering, the driver can see if it will do 70. That still is illegal, and if he gets caught he will be in trouble, but less trouble than if he had been going over 70. And he would avoid the extra special trouble of trying to outrun a highway patrolman. If a man's speed ever is overestimated in court, it is most likely to be in a case of attempted escape from the law. The idea of.

speed governors never has been very popular with the driving public, but it might become more popular now that there no longer is any question about new cars being fast. The speed ratings of stock cars, established in supervised test runs, can accepted as official. For whatever satisfaction it might give him, the driver of a new car with a governor on it still could say, "With the governor off, anybody knows it will do over 100." Kiwanians Hold Fish, Chicken Fry Members of Lumberton Kiwanisf club enjoyed a fish and chicken fry at the home of Oscar Barnes for their regular meeting Tuesday night, with Barnes and Ellis Page as chefs. President David King presided at the short business session at which tribute was paid to Rev. Willis Stevens, a member, who is leaving to take another church.

Itt was announced that i Gaynelle Hogan, county health educator who has just returned from a six months study of Indians in the west, will be speaker for the next meeting and will show films of her work among the western Indians. REV. PUBNFLJt. BAILET How good are you? J. H.

Shorthouse, the English author, felt that he had no need of forgiveness as a young man. He went to talk with the saintly Bishop of Lincoln, Edward King, about his difficulty in believing the Christian truth of forgiveness. The good bishop did not argue. He gave Shorthouse two sheets of paper, one plain white and the other with a heavy border of black. He was told to write all that he had ever done absolutely good no touch of evil on the white sheet, and on the other all that had been bad, sinful and wicked.

In five minutes he had filled both sides of the black-edged sheet, but on the other sheet he could only write one thing: his love for his mother. But on second thought he rubbed that out because even that love had been marred by selfishness. In a moment the truth struck him. "Then I got down on my knees," said Shorthouse, "and said 'God, be merciful to me a sinner'." Forgive us our gins. (Luke 11:4) Gov.

Happy Chandler Wins Endorsement As Kentucky's Favorite Son Candidate LOUISVILLE, Ky. Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler, solidly in control of the Democratic organization In Kentucky, won endorsement as favorite son candidate for the presidential nomination He said he was banking on the outside chance the other candidates would deadlock at the national convention next month.

If so, he said, the Kentucky delegation would "use all our means" to land the nomination for him. Climaxing a political comeback. Chandler nailed down the party controls at the state convention. He put his supporters in every key spot in a resounding victory over the forces of Sen. Earle C.

Clements and former Gov. Lawrence Wetherby.

He boasted of his own victory an( with Clements and Wetherby seated just behind him reminded the.two of support he had given mem.

He reminded them too that they "could not be found" to support him. In the end, however, he called for the divided Kentucky Democrats to join forces against the common enemy the Republicans in November's general election.

a i legislative director of the National Education said today NEA leaders still are hopeful for passage of federal school construction aid in this session of Congress. He said he had word from Washington that Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) and other supporters of the legislation were working to obtain a reversal of a teller vote by which the House yesterday attached an antisegregation amendment to the bill. Both Democrats and Republicans have said such a rider would kill the measure. McCaskill said NEA members were "pouring telegrams to their congressmen" urging them to defeat the rider if it is reconsidered under a roll cnll vote when the I louse reconvenes tomorrow. "I don't know how mony telegrams have gone to Washington," he said, "but it's well up in the hundreds." HUGH JOHANAN LEITZSEY of Silver Springs, was sworn in as a midshipman at U.

CLIPPED COMMENT BIBLES IV RUSSIA (New Orleans States) Whatever the communistic motive behind it, easing of the ban against printing Bibles in Russia affords a degree of encouragement to churchmen. Not since 1926 have Russians been permitted to issue their own Bibles.

Now, according to a Russian Baptist minister visiting the US, his evangelical group is printing 50,000 from mats of the American Bible Society and the Russian Orthodox church is turning out a like number. Meagerness of the new supply of Scriptures and failure of the relaxation to extend to all faiths show that religious freedom is a. great distance away in the USSR, but even slight progress in that direction stands out because of the contrast it offers.
