Plott Creek Youth Absolved Of Blame In Fire At Barn A charge of arson, in which the main evidence was based on a trail pickpd up by a bloodhound, was dismissed for lack of probable cause after a hearing before Jus tice of the Peace J. J. Ferguson Friday morning. Defendant in the case was Tommy Conard of Plott Creek, charged with setting afire the barn of Elzie Caldwell about 9 p.m. last Sunday. Kyle Grasty, an employee of the State Prison Camp at Hazelwood, testified that he brought a blood hound to the scene of the fire and that the dog later picked up a trail that led to Conard's house. However, both he and another prison camp employee, Fred Gen try, pointed out that the dogs, though well trained, are not com pletely reliable. After about one hour of testi mony Mr. Ferguson granted a mo tion for dismissal of the charge made by Conard's attorney, Roy Francis. Also dismissed was a charge of larceny against Conard, involving a pair of shoes owned by Elzie Caldwell, Jr. Fra^- D. Ferguson represented the (fluffs. MORE ABOUT Churches (Continued from page 1) rather than armed truce were the order of the day. But government can only help in an imperfect way to bring about this understanding. Basically, it is a matter of atti tudes, of mutual respect, of an awareness on each side of the human dignity of the others. "In ordinary labor disputes, when no agreement seems possible, it is customary to call in a concilia tor, usually a government official. I wonder if, in this case, the forces of religion could serve as a con ciliator. It is hard for either side to forget past grievances." Referring to race relations, he pointed out: "I understand the problems, having lived in the South, and the main point is (hat bitterness and tension are mount ing by the hour. In the course of the struggle fundamental religious and moral ideals are being lost sight of . . . We need more dedi cated men of God?they can bring those ideals back before the con science of all Americans. "In this field, law alone is not enough. A law is only as good as the will of people to obey it. The Supreme Court has wisely given time to implement its decision A moderate approach is the only one which will work. Political dema goguery will aggravate, not solve, the problem. The churches can help create the climate of under standing and good will which is essential for the implementation of the law of the land." MORE ABOUT I! Smathers (Continued front pace It of World War II, said Smathers, but has a brilliant record as a Navy lieutenant. H-? would have < great appeal to the many World * War II veterans who are now be- . coming ?o influential in their vari- 1 ous communities. i Finally, Kennedy is a New Eng lander, and Stevenson lost that section rather uniformly last time. 1 The Senator feels that the nom- 1 ination will be between Kennedy ' and Senator Hubert Humphrey of ' Minnesota, with the edge going to J Kennedy. He ruled out Kefauver on the grounds that neither Stev-1 enson nor Kefauver would want to i make it appear that they had made rfny sort of deal; also, that Kefauv- | | er's and Stevenson's views are so , similar that they would "appeal pretty much to the same crowd". He feels that Kefauver did the right thing by bowing out grace- ' fully from the presidential race. The only dark horse, Smathers j said, who would get anywhere at j all is Stuart Symington who could emerge as the nominee if the con- ' vention were blocked. However, he pointed out, "Symington would be a formidable candidate, but you ' can't get the nomination without ( delegates". Turning to the possibility of a , schism on the civil rights program, the Senator discounted suggestions of any trouble in shaping the plat form. The chairman of the plat form committee, he stated, ex- . peets to write a platform accept able to both sides of the party. It has been pretty well worked out already, and contains no harsh plank which would be offensive to Southerners. Smathers attributed this to the fact that Northerners and Southerners are beginning to realize each other's problems and making a greater effort to reach mutually acceptable solutions. Senator Smathers was emphatic in his insistence that the present Democratic Congressional, majority be maintained and preferably strengthened. "It is important that i we maintain the Democratic lead-1 ership of the Congress," he said, "for the primary reason that it has been probably the most responsible leadership that we have had in two or three generations. We have adopted legislation which we thought was beneficial to the coun try. even though Eisnhower rec ommended it. Obviously the Demo crats are not a rubber stamp to a Republican-:?or even a Denioeratic ? president, but unless Congress will cooperate with the President, he is ineffectual." The two main achievements of the recent Congress, he feels, were I passage of the highway bill, which ! will not only provide for vital high MORE ABOUT 1 Polio Vaccine 1 (Continued from Parr 1) later, A third injection should be ?iven seven months after the sec Dnd. to provide maximum protec tion from polio. I. Ho* long does it take the vac cine to establish its protective effects? The first vaccination begins to take effect from seven to ten days after it is given. The second in- , lection brings a sharper rise in I protection. Is 1. Should the vaccine be given J during the polio season? Yes. Immediate vaccination of an entire community is the best safeguard. There is scarcely any evidence that ttite polio injections endanger a person even during a period of polio prevelence. S. If the second shot Is delayed more than two weeks, is it ef fective? Yes. Dr. Jonas Salk has report- \ ed that the second shot will still t be effective after several months, i 7. Does one shot protect against ' paralytic polio? It gives some protection, but actually, one injection usually sets the bpdy's protection machinery In motion. Two shots are needed For adequate protection, three for long-term protection, g. Should people who have had polio be given the vaccine Yes. There are three types of polio and a person who has recov ered from one type is not immune to the other two, and may contract a second type. , i 9. Does the vaccine prevent non- j paralytic polio? , The vaccine prevents paralytic ] polio only. Non-paralytic polio is , no worse than a severe cold or in- I, tluenza. ! I 10. How many children have been vaccinated? More than half a million have been vaccinated in North Caro lina. Additionally, more than 30, 000.000 in the United States, and ! over 2,000,000 in Canada, Den mark, Germany and South Africa have received the vaccinations. 11. Who is eligible for the vac cinations? In North Carolina, the vaccina tions are available for children and young people through the age of 19 years, and for expectant mothers. 12. When should my child be vac cinated? RIGHT NOW: North Carolina is now approaching its peak polio season. At least two vaccinations should be given within the next two weeks to guard against paral- 1 ysis from poliomyelitis. 13. How does one get the vaccina tions? There are two ways: (a) See your doctor, just as you would for other immunizations and (b> Visit one of the public clinics now be ing conducted by your county medical society for polio vaccina tions. 11. Is polio conquered yet? No. Until everyone is vaccinat ed. polio will remain a threat. The ' vaccine is now available, but it j ways, but will bo a 13-year shot in the arm for the nation's economy; and passage of the Social Security bill, which he termed "a milestone in our history". "For the first time we have pro vided for any person over 50 years old who becomes totally disabled after having been under Social Se- , curity for as many as five years; , we have reduced the age at which women can receive assistance; and at the same time we are encourag ing people to postpone taking their benefits, as the longer they wait, the larger the sum they receive." he said. Touching on the Republican can didates, Smathers stated that he felt that the President's health would not be an issue in the cam paign. but that "everyone does con template the possibility that he might not be able to serve an en- ' tire term." He feels that Vice President Nixon, one of his golfing cronies, is a "very decent, very honorable j fellow In my opinion, he has done a good job as Vice President. How- j ever, he is a Republican, and the '( Republicans will have to determine the nominaion for themselves.'' Senator Smathers commented that he hoped he could "beat Dick Nixon on the golf links. After all. he hasn't been playing as long as I have." The Senator stated that he had voted to cut foreign aid?"it's been too much for too long"?although he had voted originally for aid to Greece, Turkey and others. In the last five years, he said, he has vot ed to cut such appropriations be- ' cause "we haven't done any good". Instead of stressing aid to Eur- 1 ope and Asia, he feels that trade j with Latin American offers the ! brightest future for this country. "Do you realize," he asked, "that our southern neighbors have a pop- ! ulation of 165 million and are the fastest - growing area, population wise, in the world? They lock the j things we make, and they have , plenty of the raw materials we , need to make them. We are not ; only conveniently located in the same hemisphere, but we are nat ural complements to each other." Smathers himself is assured of return to the Senate for his Sec ond term. One of the largest major ities in Florida's history gave him the Democratic nomination, and he has no Republican opponent on the 1 November ballot. t musi D?f wiaeiy usea io dc eueci ve as the principal means of molding up resistance to polio.

One man. after waiting in the long line, came out saying: "It was a long wait, but 1 now have something to tell my grandchil dren." Edwin L.

Evangelist Billy Graham, in introducing Mr. Nixon, said he was looking forward to coming back to the Lake for several days of speaking at the C?^,er Camp meeting ? August 19-- . Mr. Graham told how he first sought the President for a series of talks at the three religious assemblies. and plans were changed when Mr. Eisenhower became ill in Denver last Sep tember. Then he asked Mr. Mxr on after the vice president had had a "successful golf game with Mr. Graham. "1 am more and more impressed with the spiritual qualifications of Mr. Nixon." Mx. Graham said in his introduction. "1 feel it is prop er to have our vice president visit these religious assemblies, as he is a man who believes in God "Mr. Nixon has worked harder at the job of vice president than any other man who ever held that office," Graham continued. "Here in Western North Caro lina at the three religious assem blies he has found the most warm hearted people in the world, an the most hospitable." the famid evangelist continued. Vice President Nixon paid tribute to the 60-voice choir at the Lake as he termed it: "I have never heard better." Mr. Nixon told of his days at J Duke University, and of boarding in a home with 15 theological stu- i dents. He later moved, he explain- j ed, since "a mere law student nev er had a chance to win an argu ment with that many young j preachers." In the introduction, Mr. Gra ham pointed out that Mr. Nixon had "Methodist connections." ! The vice president explained lat er that his father was a Meth odist, while his mother was a Quaker. "By compromise," Mr. Nixon's father became a Quaker. On the platform besides Mr Graham, were: Senator George Smathers of Florida; Congressman Charles Jonas; Reuben B. Robert- , son. Sr.; Dr. George E. Clary; Admiral W. N. Thomas; Dr. El mer T Clark. J. W. Fowler, Jr.; and Bishop Ivan Lee Holt. The congregational singing was led by Glenn Draper.
