It is not easy to establish an overwhelm,;;-: trend and the pattern varies considerably from locality To locality. Most definite and positive on the ant:-integra tion side are the political moves in Mississippi, Ain- - bama and Georgia, when tin heads of the state govern ments dec fare their v. A-. -; ness and intention to do ar, thing to stop mixing m V. < schools, and where (as v.n;! as some other pkv ; ■ i vie;- nee is threatened against those attempting to break tr-c pad cion* Associated Pre.-s howev r. reported late in Sep 1 .-mher that “tension created by tempts to integrate Negro students into while class rooms appeared r.i ot ieron ing somewhat m several su tions of the nation.” The news gathering agency cited the end of a strike in some white students against tiie admitting of Negro stu dents to a high school in West Virginia; the election of two Negro students to class offices in a high school m Carthage, Missouri, and the enrollment t.J "hail a white students in Lincoln ■ University of Missouri. ; Added to the box score on integration’s side are the ap parent successes in Washing ton, D C. and Baltimore. Even more significant ; s the Western N. '.2. 1 ..e:hodist Declares We admit that we were somewhat perturbed when the Western North Carolina Con fernce of the Methodist Church voted to postpone action on a resolution against segregation in school and church. Our fears were not Well founded, we are glad to say, for the strong resolution was overwhelm!»mgly adopt ed two days later. The fact that it was decisively voted ; through after ail the delegates had had a chance to read the > text of the statemnt. to de* ! liberate over it individually \ and discuss it privately a mong themselves, definitely f ad&s to the significance of its ) adoption. It is true that the resoln | ticm is not binding on indivi ’ dual members or individual congregations. It would cer tainly be untrue, nonetheless, to say that it is therefore without meaning. Such re solutions are no match for As Goss Maine No one knows for certain whether the. election results in Maine represents a natio nal trend. Os course the De mocrats claim that they dn, and of course the Rcpubli cans claim that they don’t. Both claims are to be expect ed But the election in Maine of a Democratic governor for the first time in twenty years is news—no doubt that. The Republicans attribute their loss of the. governorship to ‘'local** causes. It is general ly conceded that the Republi can governor, a candidate for re-election, was unpopular. However, though the Rspuh successful introduction of Ne gro students in the high n k.-jc! at Fayetteville.

Such action as has been taken by convention after convention o; Protestant: bodies since the Supreme Court decision, and even for some years before it, is not mere emptiness. Even the resolutions of Baptist bo dies, despite the fact that every Baptist congregation is almost completely autono mous, mean a great deal in indicating the changing moral climate. Plodding Carter, editor and publisher of the Greenville (Mississippi) Delta Demo crat-Times observed in an article in the September Reader's Digest: ‘ , , . In separate and un lit an Senator Smith, the doughty woman who refused to be rowed in the Senate by Senator McCarthy, was re elected, her majority was smaller than that by which she was sent to the Senate the last time, and Maine’s Re publican dclgation tp the lower house of Congress also was returned with diminish ed majorities. One of the de legations squeezed by his De mocratic opponent by a very small margin. Whatever the proper in terpretation. if any,' of these Maine facts, the Republicans are scared. Thy were al ready end Maine just added J should be noted in this con nection. however, that Gov < rnor Byrnes of South Caro lina has moderated his tone appreciably since the court first announced its decision. It would appear that Mr. Byrnes was attempting to use his prestige as a national fig ure arid a former Supn-iru Court judge to forestall U.« kind of he. non the court finally did render; but once if was rendered, his back- Riound as a statesman, hue-' ye i and Supreme Court judge would not permit him to use the same intemp: ate lang uage as that indulged in n • the governors of Georgia and Mississippi, The boycotting of the Dr cember hearings by several southern states may be placed o,i the other side, also the vacillating attitude of Ten russet- and North Carolina as to their participation in the arguments and brief filing. The effect on the Court of the boycotting and the vacillat ing will probably be near ze ro. however. Within the Confederacy, excepting the Fayetteville, Arkansas example, integra tion is having a demonstra tion only in the Roman Cath olic parochial schools. When ever it has been tried in th* x*. schools it seems to have b* t-n entiiely successful. Which definitely points to the con clusion that where ending segregation is placed on a moral basis and is backed by authorities with the power to act, it can be brought about quickly and effective '..-. related conventions, repre ■ sentative bodies of the three largest Protestant denomina tions in the South . . sup ported the Court’s decision. This doesn’t mean that many individual churches of these denominations will now trans form themselves into noi.- segregated gatherings of Christian worshipers. Never theless, the fact remains that representatives of Protestant churches in the Deep South, citizens of traditional south ern communities who would feel the pressure of their dis agreeing fellow-churchmen and neighbors, did vote their Christian belief that segrega tion as a fact of life was un christian and undemocratic.” The Western North Caro lina Methodist Conference v/as happily on the same side as the many other church bodies which have taken the high stand. to their apprehensions. The Republican campaign strate gy seems to be mostly to run Eisenhower, the undoubted ly popular President, in every congressional district, and in every state, electing a senator. Whether or not that will work out to give the Republi cans the much desired work ing majority in the next Con - gress remains to be. seen. There is one safe bet, how ever, and that is that Vice president Nixon wishes he had not said before the elec tion that the Maine election returns would indicate the nationwide trend.

It is an unsolicited testi monial to the fact That, they are, contrary to popular belief, hu man beings. These people are de picted as something rather sub human. and they are accused of putting on masks the minute they start down the subway steps, pot to remove them until t,ney e merge into the spnljght again. The subways themselves are oft en spoken of in the same breath with the “Black Hole of Calcutta" and oui-of-tov. r■ often ap proach them with dread. But anybody who has nothing hut disparaging remarks to make ttbout tile .Yew York subway rid er simply does not have the one magic thing that can transform an otherwise grouchy subway rider into a human being—tliat “thing" is b child or two. Having gone up and down the Bth Ave nue subway line twice a day for tour long years, escorting the two lights of my life to school, I can make this report -dth au thority. Naturally I believed some of the myth surrounding the New York subways, and I launched upon the venture with misgiv ings l was certain my children would lie tom apart the first day. Imagine my astonishment when, in the .midst of the mad scramble, two people stepped a* side and let the children on first!

Wei! ahead as leader of both leagues in home runs at the mid-season, he, or his days from first grade to the bit tor end, w aether it ended tn the eighth grade or wc n t through graduate school. After that, the conversation developed into the hack fence variety. V/e would hear about jobs, mean buses, operations, family ills, and ac counts of vacation trips. During the four years, I teamed a lot of personal history and made the happy discovery that my children •would be safe in the company of these humans who knew their “stop’’ as well as I did, and would help them off if necessary.

But somehow i have a strong feeling that it is b wise habit Maybe I think so because I have had it for so long a time. For a long time I have been a habitual \ j.-utar at sales. I use the word visitor ad visably because that Is just what 1 am when I go to sales a visi tor. pure and simp!*. I, of course, have not been able and currently am not able, to bid at the sales. But I still think it is a wise prac tice to go to sales. Now 1 do not Have reference to ‘'Dollar Day Sale s.’* Neither do 1 have reference to the ten per cent, or twenty-five percent re~ duction-of -prices sale* on *u c h items as clothing, furniture, and >:d automobile*. We (Negrotti will go to those kind of sales- And, most especially a used au tomobile sale. It cannot be over emphasized that is many of the so-called sales where prices are supposed to be reduced, that, as a matter of fact they sre often raised instead of reduced. The foregoing has been proven k many cases. This artiste ha* refer ecu* to salsa where n-a! property (house* and land) is being sold by an authorized court of law to the highest bidder. It moat certainly does not have reference to toe many no-called and supposed-to-be, sales of land ami-or bouses by those engaged to the buy ing and. wiling of land in such a manner hoping to make profits, sea most caoee they do make proftte b«q»e ones, too, Thera are several filings to be gained by visitors visiting sales at land and-or houses by an authorized court of Jaw. At such sales an individual gains a good insight as to the current price of real property which is a very valuable thing to know for one who may wish to buy or sell real property sometime m the future In the second place, at such sains the property is actually sold to the highest bidder. Generally speaking, there ere no tricks played, at such sales in tbe third voluntary use. .. .but by nc means was intended for any kind of abuse, it belongs to God, yea every passmg moment io create happiness and cheer, and awaken forces lying dormant. 11. But man seems to have God s program upside down . . instead of a smile he adds a frown; and instead of using prop erly the time he has beer given, he .misuses it to look downward, and not toward heaven. 12. Thus TIME, by him is not utilized for its highest purposes, allowing hatred and deception to invade God's earthly promises: yet God in His Infinite mercy , abideth His own TIME to say “io' I am with you forever and aye.” ••f the South The South, it roust »->, 14S*■/'<*'• -»or .1 !- .. - - ... •• C* - • U - r-K w ~*-w. r 1 ■ *., .•: «P±«t A"'*- C* 11. lie in its (sentiments.
