Fannie Citizens Given Opportunity
To Replenish Nation’s Blood Supply
For Armed Forces and Red Cross
Citizens of Farmville community
will have an oportunity to streng
then this country’s blood lines to
Korea when a Red Cross bloodmobile
comes here on Tuesday, February 5,
for donors to make their contribution
to the defense ffort.
Tentative plans announced by Rob
ert D. Rouse, Jr., chairman, and Dr.
J. M. Mewbom, chairman of the med
ical society’s blood bank committee,
call for the mobile blood unit to set
up headquarters in the Presbyterian
church. The^. bloodmobile will be
s staffed with a physician and other
trained personnel, operating out of
Norfolk, Va.
Goal of the day’s activities here
will be, 160 pints of blood, and offic
ials state that at least 225 donors
will be required to obtain this quan
tity. Prospective donors will be asked
to complete cards which are now in
the process of being distributed.
They will then be notified the time
they are to report for appointment.
Donors must be in the 21-59 age
range. Those between the ages of
18 and 21 will be accepted with par
ental consent, or if married. About
45 minutes will be required for the
complete process.
Three ladies organizations, the Lit
eray Club, the Social Service League
and th Junior Woman’s Club, will as
sist by furnishing receptionists and
others to serve as aides for the
bloodmobile staff. It is probable, too,
that the ladies will want to have their
names on the list of donors, since
blood is no respector of sex or
gender.
Chairman Rouse announced that a
representative of the Red Cross will
meet here Tuesday morning at 10:30
with local ladies and will brief them
on procedure.
Dr. Mewborn states that there is
an acute shortage of blood in the
nation’s armed forces. The blood
mobile was in Greenville Tuesday,
and 153 pints of blood were donated.
Dr. Mewbom was told that some of
the blood drawn Tuesday was in
-Korea by Thursday night and pro
bly will be used this week end. He
also remarked on the efficiency of the
unit and its staff, stating .that the
unit arrived in Greenville at 9 o’clock
Tuesday morning, and 28 minufe$
later was ready to process prospec
tive donors.
An all-out effort will be made here
to secure pledge cards from prospe
tive donors. All members of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce have
voted to participate in the program,
and other civic groups are expected
to follow suit.

Oliver Murphrey
Recovers Truck But *
Driver Still Missing
A letter from a Martinsville, Va.,
garage informed Oliver Murphrey
who operates a fleet of trucks, and
deals in com, of the whereabouts of
his truck that was driven away from
Farmville loaded “ with com on
December 25, by Johnny Jones, a
Negro employee.
The truck, the garageman stated,
was left by the Negro to have the
brakes .repaired. Murphrey’s corn
check for $900 was also left at the
garage. The Negro was told that
the truck would be ready for him on
January 2. Jones did not'return for
the truck and the garagenrtan finally
wrote to Murphrey, whose name and
address was painted on the side of
the truck.
Murphrey left yesterday for Mar
tinsville to pay the $50 garage bill
and to get his truck.
No trace has been found of Jones,
who came to Farmville several weeks ‘
before Christmas, saying that his
home was in Georgia and holding a
chauffeur’s license issued in Chicago.
The garage bill plus the com check
Jones had made to himself and cash
ed at a Roanoke, Va., bank, bring for .<
a total over $200 that Murphrey has {
lost and this does not take into con- ]
sideration the loss of business from <
having the truck stolen. i
Ordination Rites . „
Conducted Monday
For Frank M. Ross
The Reverend Frank M. Ross, who
served as Deacon-In-Charge of the
Farmville Emmanuel Episcopal
Church, St. Barnabas, Snow Hill and
St. James, Ayden, was ordained to
the Sacred Priesthood by the Rt. Rev. ;
Tnomas H. Wright, D. 0., Bishop of ;
■the Diocese of East Carolina, in rites
held in the local church on Monday
morning.
The Very Reverend F. Craighill ]
Brown, D.D., Dean of the School of
Theology of the University of the ;
South at Sewanee, Tenn., preached ;
the ceremonial sermon. The preacher
based his sermon on Acts 26: 15-18 |
and likened the calling of priest to ,
the calling of Paul to the ministry.
He said in conclusion, “It is, of course
always a solemn occasion when a man
assumes grave responsibilities of
whatever sort. But such a moment as
now, by its very great solemnity, its
special nature, becomes ajso a won
drously joyous one. For as there is
no other responsibility in human life
such as this you now. bow your shoul
der to, and no greater privilege than
that which you now dare accept, so
there is no other assurance in life
equal to that which is given you—
that in your work God Himself is

with you. A sinner among sinners,
you are called out from among them
that you may go back among them in
the power of God for the reconverting
of your own and their lives into what
God meant they should be.
That is a■ responsibility no man in
honesty can face without fear. Yet it
is equally a privilege no man in hon
esty can face without the most joyous
graditude and humble confidence. If
you will remain humbled by both, re
sponsibility and privilege, then you
will be a faithful servant.”
A large assemblage of Episcopa
lian clergy were present at the cere
mony. Those other than the bishop
and the preacher who officiated in
the. service were: the Rev. Jack R.
Rountree of Kinston, the Rev. George
C. Stierwald of Goldsboro, the Rev.
Charles I, Penick of Whiteville, and
the Rev. Ernest H. Williams of
Greenville, who was master of cere
monies. .. .
Luncheon was served to 100 out-of
town guests in the Parish House by
the ladies auxiliaries of the three
churches, following the ordination.

Taft’s Forces Recovfer, Fight
Into The Lion’s Den?
Continuing Vinson-J£efauver Trend
Opening of Congress
The Eisenhower Boom
The entrance of General JDwight
5. Eisenhower into the G.O.P. scrap
or presidential nomination caused
;he forces of Senator Robert Taft
lome heartaches, at the time, but
hey have now recovered their equili
jrium. In fast they are saying
hey’re glad the general made his
statement, and that he can’t be
lominated unless he actively cam
jaigns. They also say he shouldn’t
>e nominated if he doesn’t actively
sampaign.
Whether or not there is much to
-ms tnought, it is ciear tnat Tart's
supporter's are going an out to whip
are tienerai oerore tne convention
neets. of cou.'se, Taft had a Dig
start on ike, but the latter has won
i psychological edge by holding back
intu later in the tight. Tne momen
tum seems to be with General piisen
lower at the moment. The question
s whether the Ohioan’s workers can
jver check that momentum, whether
;Hey can prevent a snowballing move
ment for ike. ^
Because “Eisenhower hasn’t been in
political wars, his record is as yet
untarnished and this gives,him ano
ther advantage over Taft, who has
his enemies. Even now that he is in
the running, Ike does not have to
take a stand on the issues—in fact,
he cannot—since he is still in the
regular army. Thus his initial can
didacy brings forth a host of anti
Taft Republican support and much
man-of-the-street support.
The Taft machine already had a
number of pledges before Ike made
his availability clear, however, and is
desperately trying to hold on to them
and acquire new ones. For Taft this
is a last-chance fight. If he misses
the nomination in 1952 he will proba
bly miss it forever. -He has twice be
fore been the loser and this, is his
final chance. This would be especial
ly true if a Republican other than
Taft, is elected in November, since
the President would probably run for
reelction and eight years would pass
before Taft had another opening.
Therefore, as predicted in this
column several weeks ago, when it
was stated flatly that Ike was s
Republicaii and would probably be a
candidate for the G.O.P. nomination,
the battle is now down to a Taft
EisenhoWe? battle. These two jnei
outshine all the rest.. Warren, Stas
sen, etc., are just also-rans. Th«
majority of the lesser-light Republi
cans' seem to be in Ike’s comer
potentially, though they have no
said so.

it|e is standing pretty firm amidst
the waves around it. In fact, many
Congressmen are saying Taft is the
favorite even now. (
One of them described Ike as a
political babe-in-the-woods, walking
into the opposition of the most hard
boiled, prepared, political machines in
the country—the Tafe organization.
Maybe so. But Ike’s supporters are
great enthusiasts. They say he is a
sure shot. The next few, weeks and
months wilj tell.
The President’s friends are insist
ing that he is through as of January,
1953. Some have been saying it alt
along, and there have been plenty of
skeptics. The skeptics are lessening
today. The scandals of his Adminis
tration and the entrance of General
Eisenhower into the presidental race
are two factors which may help in
fluence the President’s final decision.
Many Democratic political heads
are saying that -Chief Justice Fred
Vinson and Senator Estes Kefauver
are the two men which' might give
the Democrats a chance. But whe
ther they could defeat a man like
Eisenhower is a big question. The
trend is definitely toward Vinson and
Kefauver at the moment.
The general concensus of opinion
among reporters in Washington last
week when Congress opened, was
that: 1. No new taxes will be en
acted. 2, Price controls will be con
tinued. 3. Rearmament will be sup
ported. 4: UMT will probably be
enacted 5. Civil rights will proba
bly be shelved. 6. Fair Deal legisla
tion will be held up or defeated.
7. Foreign aid will be trimmed,
especially economic aid. 8. Mark

the Vatican will probably be side

Steps For World
Peace Analyzed For
DAR By Rev. Cox
Rev, Z. B. T. Cox brought a con
cise and coherent message on the
subject, “Thinking Toward 'Worn
Peace,” at the meeting of the Major
Benjamin May Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, on Saturday afternoon in the
Chapter House,
Rev. Cox, who was introduced by
Mrs. Henrietta Williamson, regent,
opened his remarks by quoting an
excerpt taken from a speech on peace
by President Woodrow Wilson. “It
must be a peace without victory—
victory would mean peace forced upon
the loser—it would leave a sting, a
resentment, a bitter memory upon
which terms of peace would rest, not
permanently, but only as upon quick
sand—Only a peace between equals
can last, only a peace the very prin
ciple of which is equality and com
mon participation in a common bene
fit.”
As an explanatory introduction
Rev, Cox staved that peace is tne
absence of war. Peace is a system
of life without change; peace is sta
tic. And he asked tne following,
pertinent questions. “Do we want a
system of living with the absence of
war? Do We want a Christian com
munity? Are we willing to pay the
price of this system?”
He stated some important facts to
consider: (1) The psysologicai re
action of people. It is human nature
to resent coercion. It is human na
ture for people with power to dictate.
(2) Wisdom belongs to all. No party
or persons know all the facts about
any one thing. (3) Peace is spiritual.
(4) The changing wo.rld. In sum
ming up his reactions to these facts
he stated, “These four facts sug
gest that planning, consultation, re
joncilation and co-operative enter
prise are eessential to build a com
munity where peaceful relations will
Mr. Cox further said that every
age has had its men and women who
have sought for this great prize for
the world; some have made great
strides sand others have done, little.
Personally he expressed this opinion.
‘I feel that our efforts have been too
selfish and our method wrong.” He
then outlined the peace program of
our President, which are: (1) Con
tinuing .unfaltering support of the
United Nations. (2) Continuation of
American program for world eco
nomic recovery. (3) The strengthen
ing of freedom-loving nations against
aggression through collective defense
agreements. (4) A program for
making the benefits of our scientific
advances and industrial- progress
available for the improvement and
growth of the under-developed areas.
The speaker cited the progress
made in the churches in regards to
world unification peace endeavors.
He listed three methods by which
the world could bring about peace.
(1) Build the largest Army, Navy
and Air Force possible. Force peace
on the world. (2) Have a commission
with representatives' from all the
nations with a police force necessary
to make the nations do their part.
(3) God’s plan—Redeeming people
and teaching them to live together as
a family. This kind of peace is the
only one that can last and remove
war and all other forces that kill or
destroy mankind. The cause of war
of its kindred parts must be destroy
ed before peace can come.
And in conclusion the minister
made this appeal, "We want the
Christian Community where people
can truly live together and enjoy life
as it is. We must pay the price; by
putting God’s kingdom first in our
lives; by helping our fellowman to
attain the highest and; best possible
for one in God’s kingdom; by creat
ing fellowship where all are as one.”
Mrs. Williamson presided over the
meeting and Mrs. E. B. Beasley Of
Fountain, the chaplain, gave an in
spiring devotional mediation and
based her remarks on the idea that
there are good things for those that
fear the Lord.
