Drug Charges;
Trial August 5
NEW YORK
Beautiful Jean Farits, who
once gained fame as a band
leader and nightclub entertain
er, was named this week by the
grand Jury on drug charges. Ar

clothesmen and narcotics agents

a swanky East side duplex
apartment, airconditioned and
with a rental tag of $400. per
month. Besides finding quanti
ties of drugs in the apartment,
cops say they picked up the in
evitable little black book in
which a lot of big shots’ names
were listed. Jean, who gave her
age as 28, pleaded innocent to
tjhe misdemeanor charge of

each of the applicants “that we

advised them that acceptance of
their applications was a mis
take because the laws of the

Throughout the school year o^
1952-53 unsuccessful attempts
were made to obtain the consent
of the president and board of
trustees to admit them.

AMEZion Group Petitions Bishop For
New Pastor At St. Mark In Durham
Charges Rev. S. P. Perry
Attempts To Rule By
Threats And Violent Abuse
In a recent letter addressed
to the Bt. Reverend S. O.
Spottswood, Chairman, and
the Board of Bishops of the
A. M. E. Zion Church, a gronp
composed of some of the lead
ing members of St. Mark A.
M. E. Zion Chnnli have peti
tioned for a ne«r pastor. Be
low is a ;op]r of the letter ad
dressed to the Board of Bi
shops.
GREETINGS:
We, the undersigned mem
bers in good standing of St.
Mark African Melodist Epis
copal Zion Church, Durham,
N. C., Central North Carolina
Conference, Ninth Episcopal
District, and representing a
large number of St. Mark
members similarly situated,
respectfully submit the fol
lowing complaint and petition
for your consideration and
adjudication:
For the past sixteen years
the Rev. S. P. Perry has ser
ved as pastor of St. Mark
Church. When he came to us,
and during the early part of
his administration, St. Mark
occupied a place in the front
runiu of the Churches in the
city of Durham, N. C. Its ser
vice and influence were
known and respected by the
religious and civic institutions
of our area.
Great crowds of eager and
earnest worshippers attended
our services, both morning
and night, and our entire pro
gram was operated with
gratifying success.
Some years ago Rev. Per
ry inaugurated a move to
build a new church to cost ap-
pnudnutMy 1200,000. At
first the memt>ers w«re. en
thusiastic over the project but
during the entire sixteen years
of his administration we have
raised oi^ $74,000.00 for this
purpose.
In the meantime, however,
Rev. Perry has changed from
a gracious, congenial and in
spiring spiritual leader to a
scheming, self-willed and in
temperate Ijoss-type of min
ister, and has consistently at
tempted to rule his members
by threats, intimidations and
sometimes violent public a-
buse, one outburst of which
was delivered in the presence
of Bishop R. L. Jones on a
recent occasion.
A^ a result of Rev. Perry’s'
continued Ungenerous atti
tude, selfish acts and intem
perate words the morale of
the Church is probably at the
lowest point in its history. Its
former glory and high pre
stige have faded away, and
the uncouth demonstrations
have made us the laughing
stock of Durham.
Many of our best members
have gone to other A. M. E.
Zion Churches, and some have
gone to other Denominations,
rather thgn submit to this
form of ministerial tyranny.
Our regular Sunday morn
ing congregations have been
greatly reduced, and many
times we have only thirty-five
or twenty persons attending
our nighVservlces.
Since Rev. Perry launched
the project of a new Saint
Mark Church the following
new Churches have been built
and completed in the city of
Durham: “—. ..
Ebenezer Baptist
First Calvary Baptist
Morehead ^ptist
St. John Baptist
Presbyterian
St. Joseph A. M. E.
New Educational Building,
and remodeling of Church.
These projects have been
completed at the cost of many'
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars while we have dragged
alon£ for sixteen years rais
ing only $74,000.00 because of
inefficient atid ine^ective ad
ministration.
This Committee, respectful
ly presenting this appeal, and
the members we represent,
have been loyal Zionltes all
our lives. Some of us have
been members of St. Mark
Shurch for more than forty
years and have served in of
ficial capacities for many
years. It is not and has never
been our desire or intention
to leave St. Mark Church, re
gardless of unfavorable con
ditions.
But we would like to see
some action that would re
store the morale and prestige
of St. Mark Church to its
former high state.
We have made several ap
peals to Bishop R. L. Jones-
begging him to remedy our
situation but thus far we have
had no favorable results.
We have sent two appeals to
you, our Board of Bishops, but
you have not seen fit to favor
us with a reply. It may be that
our previous appeals to you
were^otin order; but accord
ing to the 1948 Book of Dis
cipline, Page 58, Paragraph
85, we know that this com
plaint and petition is regular
and in order.
Therefore, we respectfully
ask that you consider our dis
turbed condition and in some
way arrange that we have a
new Pastor In the reasonable
future at St. Mark Church.
Respectfully Submitted,
Your. Committee,
WM. STSWART

PROOF
When you pay for premium gas...
how much of a “premium
do you get
The man who pays a little extra for a gallon of
gasoline has a right to take it for granted that
he something extra in return. And he does,
of course.
But he takes too much for granted if he thinks he
gets the same amount of extra worth in ^ brand
he buys! For it’s a simple truth that the overall
quality of “premium” motor fuels varies quite
widely from one brand to another!
This may surprise you, but it is proved. And it
leaves you with the interesting fact that the man
who always visits our Esso Dealers, and runs
his car all year ’round on Esso Extra will have
gasoline that meets the highest ail-romid, yeai^
round standard of quality on the market, regard*
kss of the competitive claims you nay hear!
Here is how we can know this to be true...
First, we list the eight performance qualities which
automotive engineers agree are both important
and ^measurable in a modem gasoline.
These qualities are:
1. ^eer Power; 2. Hi^ Anti-Kaock; 3. Loag
MUeage; 4. Cleaa Engiae OperalioB; 5. Qakk
StartiaK; 6. Fast Warm-Up; 7. Hot Weather Aati-
Vapor-Lock; 8. Cool Weather Anti-StaBjag.
With these as the yardstick, our laboratories
scientifically check Esso Extra against all pre
mium gasolines sold in competition with it. *hiis
is routine, because as leaders we have to know
just where we stand.
But what we are happy to tell you now is that time
after time Esso Extra meets the highest standard
of overall year-round performance quality!
Periiaps diis differeace explains why Esso Extra
is the largest-selling prenumn gasolioe ia tke
area served by Esso Dealers.
Anyway, it’s why we invite you to run your car on
Esso Extra. And... even though you may not feel
all the difference that is there.. .your engine will
know that the difference is there.
Esso Extra meets today’s highest standard
of year-round gasoline performance!
