Church Attracted 1,000 Dele gates and Visitors With ideal weather prevailing throughout, the annual meeting of the Roanoke Baptist Assoqation, which convened Tuesday far a two J day session in the new Farmville Baptist Church, was concluded Wed nesday afternoon with an inspiration al address by Rev. George D. Bea ton, of Lynchburg, Va., whose mes sage carried a strong appeal to churchmen to be worthy w of the Church. Around 1,200 delegates and visitors were in attendance during the two days of the meeting. The Church A Light. - Bringing up for review present conditions, Rev. Mr. Heaton pointed to the Church as the one group that could offer a word of hope to, a world bewilded by tension and con flict. "We .cannot turn to education, commerce or science for a light to point the way out of this chaotic darkness," the speaker said, "for they are responsible in great part for these very conditions; only the Church can lend a ray of light to guide the nations through this seem ingly impenetrable darkness." "Black out every institution autur ed by the Church and you would be appalled by the destitution result ing," he declared. "Democracy didn't give us the Church, the world received Democracy from the free dom-loving people in the Church, who were ready to die for religious liberty. ? There were 7,000 who never bowed the knee to Baal in Bibical times and there are thousands today V ? l A- xl.. S?.1 ? Wno fioia lb Uie 1 Hi 111 01 U1W1 ItUlBlJ.

I In concluding- his address the min I ister tokl a true story relating to a I lonely sheep herder in Montana, who, I cut off from the world except by 11 I radio and an old violin that spoke to [ him in muted tones each day, wrote to a radio station thousands of miles away to sound the A note that he.'I might tune his instrument "God sounded the A note for the I world in Christ Jesus," the speaker I declared," a note that can take away I all discord and put rich harmony into I life. Help the Church to sound the I A note in these times of panic and j I tumult that the harmonious melody I of peace may resound throughout all JI the world and to Heaven's very I I gates."

It coyer- , ed the airplane, ship-building and - machinery, as well aa a number of j other heavy production industries. < Forty-seven defense occupations 1 already are filled customarily by \ women exclusively, or either men and women, the survey revealed. Nearly 1,200 wtere occupants in which , the degree of physical strength re- ? quired and the conditions under which 1 the work is carried on present no ^ barrier to the employment of women. i More than half the occupations in . this group were of a kind in which } women could be placed immediately or with a brief training period, the bureau said. . Though considerable training would be required in 531 occupations, the breaking np of some of the jobs into ' their single-skill component parts would make possible the immediate employment of women, it was said. ^ Among the fields offering many ^ potential jobs for women are the manufacture and assembly of parts for motors,, radios, recoding instru- ? ments and airplane guages. New ' machinery makes it possible to em- * ploy women in the manufacture of * heavy shells and other types of mu- ' nitions. In the ship and boat build- 1 ing industries, wbmen were listed as * acceptable for employment as boiler makers' helpers, draftsmen, machin ists' helpen, blue-print-machine op erators and flash welders.

Miss Flasher was educated in the Miami and Ohio State Universities, and Has had experience in summer stock in. Erie, Buffalo, and witb the Little Theatre group at Denver* arid comes from the Empire Producing Co., of Kansas City, Mo., highly rec ommended as a director. The strands of. color and sparkle in this play are woven about the experi ences of twb college boys who devise a novel scheme to finish their courses on money earned without work. The love interest is furnished by Prof. Washington Wellington Watts, and Miss Jane Lively, who are reunited after 25 years of separation as a re sult of the boys' work.

Ins the northwest about Kalinin, 95 miles above the capital, the in vaders struck with tanks, armored cars, planes and infantry spear headed by parachutists dropping behind the Russian formations; and while a force of these latter was jtvj declared annililated, it was admitted that isolated Nazis alients were be ing extended. I To the west, from ths theater of Vyazma, which itself is 125 miles from Moscow, even greater German forces were pounding forward in the most terrible fighting of all the war-r-advandng, said the official So viet army organ Red Star, "only across the heaps of their own J I dead." The, situation, the paper added plainly, was now "more serious than at any time . . . Moscow is in dan ger!" . / At Any Cost. Too, it urged the Red troops to hold on to their guns at any cost, saying: "Lost arras?lost honor. You must follow the iron-clad rale?guard your arms better than your very life . . . This is decisive, especially now when the enemy has hurled against us all the reserves of his equipment and :>.l when British-American aid is only beginning to develop." The Soviet press urged a people's defense of Moscow?such as has help ed in holding Leningrad so long?and appealed that not a square yard of the city be abandoned. Tonight the capital remained calm, although people, not required Yor the "I defense of the city still were leaving. The black tomb of NicofeiLenio, one of the founders of Bolshevism, was closed. (It was not stated whether . ^ this had any direct connection with * Moscow's military peril.) Said the government newspaper: "from behind every stone on the approaches to Moscow the enemy must be met with fire and steel, every factory must become ar senal working arms for the defend ers. Every man must learn' to ban- I dl* a gun." _ . ; ? , Amy Challenge. Challenged the army organ Bed Star: ' J "The enemy never wjll enter Mos cow. He will choke on his own blood. The defense of the city must grow not daily, but hourly? . making it Impregnable." Just how the Germans had prog ressed in the drive from the west /J was not known Here; but as far' as 1 could be learned, they had not yet reached Borodino* 70 miles west of ,? the capital, where Napoleon fought his last great battle short of Mos cow in 1812.
