From The Desk Of Senator Forsyth The Legislature this week has been highlighted by heated debates in both the Senate and the House with Governor Hodges and his ad ministration suffering their first major setback. This happened Wednesday when the Senate referred to a committee, to he reported out one day certain after the Appropriations Bill was Passed, the bill calling for a new legislative building. The bill pro vided far a legislative building! commission to be set up on or after I July 1. 1959 to consider the matter. [ Your senator arranged a meeting with members of the House and Senate from the Far West and Chair man Melville Broughton of the 1 Highway Commission and his staff ? Director W. F. Babcock. Cameron kee, Assistant Director and for mer District Engineer in the Far West, and Harold Makepeace, who handles secondary roads. The much needed relocation and ! degrading of a portion of U. S. 64, \ from Clay County near Hayesville l to the Henderson County line, was discussed at length. Your senator made a formal request that an im mediate preliminary survey be started to determine the route and cost. The bridge on Hiwassee River at Murphy, carrying traffic from U. S. I 64, U. S. 19 and U. S. 129 together with local traffic and pedestrian traffic ? including school children -was described in detail. Mr. Lee knew of this situation and Mr. Bab cock thought that perhaps a new bridge and approaches would be built in the fall. Lloyd of Graham had the full sup port of the Senators and Represent atives from the Far West regard ing the new location and building of Highway 129 from Robbinsville to the Tennessee line. It was felt by all the people par ticipating in this meeting that a great deal was accomplished. Chair man Broughton was very coopera tive in offering as much time as was necessary and promised to meet with this group at any time road matters needed to be dis cussed. The North Carolina Citizen's As sociation gave a dinner Wednesday night at the Sir Walter Hotel. Your senator attended along with Repre sentative Lloyd and others of the Legislature. Prominent North Car olinians gathered from all over the State for this annual meeting. Your senator and Senator Henkel had dinner at the Sphinx Club on Monday night as guests of Mr. Ar chie Allen. The Legislature is in daily session in the halls of the House and Senate only a short time, usually not over an hour. Work for the most part is done in committee meetings which go on from 8:30 or 9 in the morning until 4:30 or 5 In the after noon. Sometimes there are even breakfast committee meetings! At these meetings, public bearings, etc. all bills are analyzed, evaluated and frequently amended, and then are reported favorably or unfavorably to the house or to the Senate, wher ever they originated. Actually, time to get out correspondence is at a premium so if your senator is a few days late in replying to your letters, please forgive him. At this Easter time, I join with all of you in giving thanks for our many blessings.

Look Like Foreign Models Big Three Builders Play Waiting Game On Small Autombiles In tbe nation's auto capital, the atmosphere is like Western fast : guns circling, coming closer and ! closer, hands poised above hoLslers. Each of the Big Three is warily watching the other two. One loses his nerve, thinks the other is draw ing ? and draws. Then the other draws, too. That's the only way there'll be a Big Three small cur this year or next. None of the three ? Ford, Chry sler or General Motors? has gone "past the point of no return." But they're getting awfully close. Tliey could still stop. They want to stop. But they probably won't. There's a good chance, however, that if the small cars do come, they won't be ready by fall. With the bugs to overcome, sometime iu I960 is more likely. All three have approved designs. They've made clay mockups or their equivalents, decided on styl ing, tentatively located assembly lines. Each has spent perhaps up to 10 million dollars on preparations for a small car. But they're still reluctant to make the final plunge. If they do, Detroit's new small car will have the "new" European small car look with a definite Amer ican twist. It will sell, delivered, for about $2,000. Although the American versions will have styles all their own. the sedans will be reminiscent of Sim ca's new four-door sedan and Re nault's Floride ? and a more than off hand similarity to the British Zephyr. If the Big Three go along with the arguments of some of their de signers, they may also put out a station wagon designed somewhat similar to the British Vaxhaul or the French Simca Marly. There will be touches of the popular Ram bler, too. The new cars will feature wrap around w indshields, dual headlights, v.ill offer automatic transmission. They'll average a foot shorter and a third lighter than today's Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth. They'll have 95-horsepower en gines. get 25 miles to the gallon, and use more aluminum than their bigger brothers. Ford and Chrysler will have their engines up front; GM hasn't de cided, and may put its engine in the rear. Colors will be conservative with oiauy one-color models. Interiors will be "rich" but "subdued." All the Big Three will aim at low upkeep cost, ease of repair. According to present plans, there will be few extras. But that could change overnight. Why the reluctance to draw and shoot for the small car market when foreiga cars are selling and the American-made Hamblcr and Lark arc doing so well? The rea soning is this: All the Big Three have foreign small cars now. Ford handles its British - built Anglia-Consul-Zephyr and German-built Taunus. GM of fers its British-built Vauxhall and German-built Opel. Chrysler has the I French Simca. All are doing well. No one in Detroit believes a small car would be very profitable. A small car costs almost as much to build in the U.S. as a big one. And a small car, if successful, would cut into the market for bigger cars. It's on those "extra" sales ? the cars sold over and above the mini mum to write off machinery costs that Detroit makes the most mon ey. The big enigma for the Big Three is this: Right now their cheapest models compare favorably in price with the small European cars, yet most customers end up buying a better model or a lot of extras, therefore paying a bigger price. "Do they want a cheap car, or don't they?" asks one puzzled com pany executive. How. then, do you explain the success of the Rambler? Ford GM and Chrysler can't. As one baffled Ford executive puts it: "The Rambler costs slightly more than a comparable Ford with the same equipment. It's not really a small car. So they don't buy it because they want a small car. It's something else." Walter Carringer was a guest of his mother, Mrs. Ruth Carringer, last week. ? ? ? ? ?

Lunsford, Pastor Little Brasatown Baptist Church Brass town N. C. LOVE TO OOD Let me first call your attention to the scripture found in 1st John 4.1*. "We love Him. because He first loved us." Things are always safe and happy when we put God in His right place as a Father, abd as such tak eing the initiative of everything is love. The first love of God dates itself far away in the distance, long before baptism. For whatever is first to other things, "the love of God" is first to it. As great and sacred ta us as is Baptism God's love is first. There is no good thing for us that was not a thought of love In the mind of God for us. Many things that we cannot see as goodness and love of the eternal God in this life, will someday un fold themselves as blessings from Him. Much of God's love comes cloaked in the blank ness of sorrow. If we have tasted something of the love of God, It began by God. in the sovereignty of His loving heart, choosing us. The history of the soul saved is the annals of God's love. I am a Christian today because God loved a wretched, lost, undone ana doomed sinner and lifted me out of the pitfalls of the terribleness of distraction. Thanks be unto God for such a wonderful rock to stand on. "God is love." There is always an inclination to love some one who loves us. God loved us while we were yet sinners and showed no love for Him. When ever God's love is really awakened and brought home to our hearts it arouses our conscience to heaven ly affections. We may have a general sense of the love of God but we never really do love God until we are sure that God specially and indiv idually loves us. This feeling cannot be produc ed by any reasoning but only by the Holy Spirit's entrance into the heart. He shows that love of God in its highest actings forgives and blots out our sin bringing salva tion to our hearts therefore prod ucing a never ending and unwav ering love for God. The love of God has shone into the believers heart and must re fleet itself. This reflection is that' soul's love to God. to the Church i and to every creature. j In seeing that God loved us so much that he gave his own son for' us on calvary as mentioned in the i 3rd chapter of the Gospel John, it behooves us to love Him sflpre-' mely with all of our hearts and - show it by obedience. Let us love Him who first loved SHARE IN AMERICA A share in America means more today than ever. It's > not only a good investment In the future of your coun try.
