MARION PROGRESS PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE Mcdowell publishing co., MARION, N. C. " TELEFHONE 64 S. E. WHITTEN, Editor and Prop. M. C. REEVES, Jr., Associate Editor Entered at the Postoffice at Marion, N. C., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 Strictly in Advance. MARION, N. C., NOV. 28, 1935 LET US RETURN THANKS Thanksgiving calls for an appre ciation of the Divine goodness of God. It is to be participated in only by those who believe in a Supreme Being interested in His children and extending them favors. Those who do not think that God takes a particular interest in the af fairs of mankind should not return hypocritical thanks to Him for something they do not recognize as His blessing. Those who believe in a material universe, uninfluenced by a Deity, are not called upon to re turn thanks to their material ele ments. The observance of Thanks giving in this country, is a public recognition of the faith of America in a living, personal, benevolent God. Let us not suppose, however, that Thanksgiving is intended only to extend thanks for material prosperi ty. We enjoy many blessings that have little to do with wealth or poverty. They abound in everyday life, and many of them are enjoyed by millions of men and women to- j gether, but, individually, at the j same time. j A DECISION AND A WARNING Considerable interest attaches to the reasons assigned by John D. > Rockefeller, Jr., for deciding to j make contributions hereafter main ly to "specific projects, chiefly in-1 terdenominational or non-denomin- | ational in character." He plans to support undertakings "which interpret the Christian task in the light of present-day needsj and which are based not so much on! denominational affiliation as on broad, forward-looking principles of co-operation." Mr. Rockefeller has been a liber al contributor to the Northern Bap tist Convention and for many years conducted a Bible class in New York. Regardless of what one may think about his views on some is sues, he has impressed the public with an early acceptance of an obli gation to society, so often entirely absent from the heart of the very' rich. His decision should serve as a warning, not only to his denomina tion but to all others, that the pub lic as a whole is not now interested in the non-essentials of denomina tionalism but rather in the progress made of undertaking the Christian task in a society that has tremen dous problems to solve. SUNSHINE SAYINGS (From Sunshine Magazine) It's still true that the unspoken j harsh word never starts a quarrel. Rest is nothing but rust if you take too much of it at one time. The right time to have courage is j when others have lost theirs. I You'll never have indigestion! from swallowing your pride. You can't push yourself ahead by patting yourself on the back. Trees are beautiful, yet they wear the same styles each year. Half the world doesn't know how the other half lives, but it is usually pretty suspicious. A word to the wise is sufficient, but it takes a lot more than that to the otherwise. They tell us that there is honor among the outlaws, but we don't be lieve that they are any better than the rest of us. If you sneer at the ideas of older and more experienced people, your case is hopeless. Thanksgiving will mean a hunting holiday to many thousands of per sons, but not every hunter is un mindful or unappreciative of the blessings that have been enjoyed during the past year. Santa Claus is already hearing numerous young people who have an idea he will give them what they want. Farmers have about made up their minds that it is time for them to be getting a good living out of the soil. "THE CRUSADES" will be shown at Marion Theatre next Monday &nd Tuesday. THIS WEEK Last week E. P. Sams, field en gineer for the WPA, set a new hunting record as to percentage of birds killed per shot. He got his bird without so much as pulling the trigger—in fact, he didn't even have one to pull. While driving his car along the highway just outside of Marion, the vehicle, answering the purposes of both dog and gun, flushed a covey which rose directly in the path of the automobile, and one was taken on the windshield. "The bird made a good meal," stat ed the driver. The passion for knitting is pass ing from bad to worse. No longer is it merely a disturbing sight to those of a more ambitious nature, it is be ginning to carry with it a suscepti bility to obsession. Saturday the re port was in circulation that one per son of Old Fort, who visits in Mar ion frequently, was seen riding the cowcatcher of the train between the two towns knitting away with a pas sion. Further details were not avail- j able. | At least one person of note is con vinced of the worth of the local county newspaper. Former Gover nor Francis of Missouri has this to say on the subject: "Each year the local paper gives j from $500 to $1,000 in free lines I to the community in which it is loca-: ted. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his own town1 7 # | than any other ten men, and in all fairness he ought to be supported,' not because you like him or admire | his writings, but because the local; paper is the best investment a com munity can make. Today the edi- J tors of the local papers do the most j for the least money of any people i on earth." Avoiding the local bill collector] used to be a necessity. Now it's a hobby. One especially adept collec tion avoider uses the following phil osophy: "When the bill collector calls on you, the thing to do is to be nice to him. Give him all the bills; you have." YOUNG PEOPLE to ILLUSTRATE USE OF DRAMA IN TEACHING THE BIBLE, WEDNESDAY EVE.; The young people of the First Presbyterian Church of Marion will illustrate the use of drama in teach- i ing the Bible at the regular Wednes day evening service. Xn Old Testament story wHl be dramatized under the caption, "A Young Man Leaves Home". The Wednesday evening program is a , part of a series of lessons on how to teach religion. . . BLAKE ATTENDS CONFERENCE IN RALEIGH—STUDY TRIPLE A J. Gordon Blake, county agent, at tended an extension conference in Raleigh last week where a study was made by county agents of the state of the AAA. It was learned that po tato control has been definitely passed and will be put in operation. No information is being given out yet, however, concerning its opera tion. | PARKER-DAVIS Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Dora Mae Par ker and Carl Davis, both of Marion, which took place in Gaffney, S. C., on Sept. 22. The bride is the daugh ter of Mrs. George Hemphill of Un ion Mills and is a graduate of Glen wood High School. The groom is a son of Mrs. Ella Davis of Marion.

MARION THEATRE BRINGS ROMANTIC SPECTACLE— "THE CRUSADES" DEC. 2-3 The screen's new sensation is Ce cil B. DeMille's "The Crusades", which will be at the Marion Theatre Monday and Tuesday, December 1-2 It is a mighty and worthy successor to DeMille's "Cleopatra", and will undoubtedly be more popular than that highly successful picture of last season. "The Crusades" can be numbered among the great religious-historical romances produced by DeMille which include "The Ten Commandments", "The Sign of the Cross", and "The King of Kings". It tells the story of supercharged conflicts in history arising at times of great crisis in the human race. The picture is set in the Twelfth Century when all Christen dom went on the inspired mission of rescuing the Holy Land, especially Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulcher, from Islam. The daring venture aroused mil lions to a pitch of ecstasy and ex citement which communicate them selves powerfully to audiences watch ing the vast armies of knights in ar mor, the tremendous war machines, the war galleys, the Siege of Acre, the cavalry battle under the walls of Jerusalem, and all the pomp and splendor of the holy war against the infidels. Henry Wilcoxon and Loretta Young have the leading roles playing Richard the Lion Hearted and Ber engaria, Princess of Navarre. Their part is as live and glowing as any modern love story. "The Crusades" is a milestone in motion picture achievement. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES Junior and intermediate members of the B. T. U. are enjoying a week of Mission study courses. The Juni ors meet at the church each after noon at 3:30 and learn about "Trail Makers in Other Lands." The In termediates meet at 6:30 and study "Messages of Light." The secretary's report of B. T. U. an last Sunday evening showed 129 snrolled, 120 present. Their goal is 150 by January 1st. The True Blue Class is making plans for a lovely Christmas party For children of Marion who other wise might be overlooked by "San ta". Miss Ruth Cuthbertson is the chairman of the committee on ar rangements. The Edna Bray Senior Union which suffered in loss of membership when our young people left for their /arious colleges, has recently taken )n new life, under the splendid lead ;rship of Miss Mary Frances Aus ;elle. Truly it is a delight to church eaders to have such efficient ser vice given by one of our capable Sigh School teachers. The Cradle Roll, Beginners, and Primary Department of the Sunday School are much more comfortable since recent improvements were made were made by adding three attractive new classrooms. The Business Woman's Circle is to nave their regular monthly meeting with Mrs. Connor at Glenwood on Next Sunday afternoon. THANKSGIVING SERVICE ST.
