Church Leaders To Speak At lunaluska Senator Graham, Three Bishops To Haywood County's elections offl cials were completing arrange' ments today for Saturday s run off primary in the Senatorial race between Willis Smith and Senator Frank P. Graham. Crom Cole, chairman of the county elections board, meanwhile forecast that the Haywood vote would run about 73 per cent of the record 5,000-plus cast in the May 27 Primary. He added, however, that there was little evidence of the intense wide-spread interest that marked the senatorial and local races in the May 27 voting. : Mr. Cole yesterday delivered the printed ballots and the registration books to the officials of the 24 pre cincts. ' V When asked about the expense of the first primary and the runoff, Mr. Cole estimated that the May 27 vote cost the county "more than $5,000". ;'-.- .--V TheW for flifrunff,;M Es timated, would amount to about $1,500 -:;-V;;;-: The cost Includes bills for print ing and in salaries of clerical help. Workers in some precincts stayed up most of the night of the last Primary, while most of the staff in Waynesville Precinct 2 (North Ward) were on the job 42 hours counting the ballots. ; However, with the ballots for only two candidates to count, elec tions officials saw an early clean-up to the tabulation in the 24 pre cincts. . The major county races which had more than two candidates were decided in the first primary. The runnersup in the battle for other local offices where leaders failed to obtain sufficient major ities did not exercise their right to call for runoffs. : , . Referring to the results of the original primary,' Mr. Cole also forecast that the turnout In the Beaverdam precincts would be much larger in future elections than it has been in the past: "The success of some of the can didates from the Canton area in the May 27 primary has stimulat ed the interest of ;the voters in that end of the county. "They found out the importance of their individual vote that last time."

' ' M. Leo Rippy of Nashville, Tenn., director of the conference, today indicated that' the function of this ' chorus would be consider ably" more than to provide musical background for the sessions. He said that, by the time the conference ends, the approximate ly 2,000 delegates would be thor oughly familiar with up to 30 of the church's greatest anthems. Mr. Rippy explained that the 100-voice chorus would sing 12 anthems during the course of the meetings. Some of these are well known hymns. But many of them are among the great pieces that are not universally known among church congregations. Generally, he pointed out, local church practice is to have the sing. ing of possibly half a dozen of the favorites habitually at all services. The result is that many church goers do not know some of the greatest anthems or hymns of the church. The choir will be directed by Dr. Fagan Thompson, pastor pf the Cullum, Alabama, Methodist Church.
