DAL TON, Ga. - Sixteen
members ?f the Murphy Con
gregation a i Jehovah's Wit
nesses were among the 864
from the Tri-Sute ere* as
sembled at the Dal ton Georgia
High School Auditorium to
hear Bruce E. Gl/fin, Dis
trict Stver viaor Aeak on the
subject: "The Bible Triumphs
In A Scientific World."
"The Bible does not con
flict with true science," an
attentive audience of 864 was
told Sunday at the Dal ton High
School Auditorium by Mr. Glf
fin.
Mr. Of In, speaking on the
subject "The Bible Triumphs
Ik A Scientific World", stated
that, "The harnessing of nu
clear power, the probe Into
outer space has fixed the
minds at men to the extent
that they have come to the
conclusion they can do any
thing they so desire. Due to
their achievements and pro
gress, masses of humankind
take everything that Is said as
a fact and do not separate
proved science from theory
and are thus led astray from
the truth."
"The Bible does not con
flict with proved science but
with unproved theories."
"Can science solve prob
lems of everyday life? Can It
halt social, moral, spitirual
decay? Science is beginning
to discover what the Bible
long ago showed as necessary
to right the situation: the pow
er of Love."
In explaining the vital role
of the Bible in life Mr. Gif
fln said: "Thur when we ex
amine the Bible we find it in
complete harmony with true
scientific knowledge. This U
understandable, for theauftor
of true science is also the
Author of (he Bible. Jehovah
Cod The Bible, however, was
not written as a scientific text
book. Its accuracy in scientific
matters is merely incidental
to Its message. The Bible
discusses some difllcult
scientific matters with un
erring accuracy to such an
extent that one would accept
the entire message presented
there."
Those attending the three
day convention were advised:
"Following scientific theor
ies has caused man to develop
pride, egotism, selfishness
and a desire to be Independent
of God. We do not have to fol
low that course. We can be set
free by learning the truth. By
learning of God and his pur
poses we can $hare in the
Bible's triumph in a scien
tific world"

Editor's Note: St ell Thack
er, who now lives in Kissi
mmee, Fla., worked here in
the Nantahala Regional Li
brary two years ago and
wrote a series of articles a
bout the library for the Scout.
When she learned of the recent
death of her friend and for- .
mer co-worker, Mrs. Nancy I
DeWeese, she wrote this tri- I
bute for publication here.
By Stella Thacker
I would like, if I may. to I
say a few words of tribute I
for a wonderful person? a I
bookmobile librarian ? who
died suddenly just three days I
before Christmas.
1 knew Mrs. Nancy De - I
Weese for a short time when I
I worked at the Nantahala I
Regional Library at Murphy I
two years ago, and 1 can I
think of no one whom 1 have I
know so briefly, whose pas- I
sing has given me such a sense I
of loss.
Anything I can think of to I
say sounds trite, because we j 1
so often say these things when J I
people die, but it is very real 1 1
and very true that a little cor- J
ner of the world ? a small, I
beautiful mountain area ? is I
indeed poorer because Nancy I
is not driving "So Big" any 'I
more.
She loved that bookmobile, . I
as well as the people, the I
roads, the books and the moun- I
tains. And they all loved her! I
Some might say she should I
have stopped working some) I
time ago? that the slippery I
mounuin roads In winter made j I
the work too strenuous. I do II
not think so. it is true, the 1 1
bookmobile was large, the
roads often steep and narrow, II
and the weather sometimes II
bad. Possibly it hastened death .1
a little, but I am sure it en- ||
rlcbed life a lot. At the end of . I
those slippery roads there II
were people wilting for her ? II
people shut In by sickness, by II
snow, by small children. The II
often watched across the bleak I
countryside for the first I
glimpse of the big bookmobile, I
bringing information, news, I
entertainment, and ? Nancy. I
They loved her as much, and I
more, than they did the books I
she brought. They gave her I
refreshments and little gifu, I
and they told her their prob- I
lama.
Nancy was not the advice- I
giving kind. She was very un- I
assuming and uncomplicated. I
But she listened? she cared I
?and aiM was infallibly I
cheerful. Never once did I I
hear her nuke an unkind re- I
mark, or know her to be petty, I
or Utile, or two-faced. I was I
privileged to go with her on I
the route for about ten day* I
during my period of service, I
and I shall never forget them. I
She had a delightful sense of J
of economic endeavor in the
future, and will include toot
future, and will include not
only industry's executive per
sonnel, but banks and other
commercial interprises. Ba
sic plans are laid in three
broad categories: (1) orien
tation and informational cour
ses for teachers, ministers,
statesmen, and others who find
it important to have a working
knowledge of the economic
structure; (2) seeking solu
tions to problems in the south
east, for top managemeotper
sonnel; and (3) utilitarian
courses in management de
velopment, for the middle and
lower levels of management.
WCC's program actually
began last year with an
economics workshop for high
school teachers In counties
covered by the Central Pied
mont Industries organization.
Edward J. Dowd of Charlotte,
CPI's executive vice presi
dent, was Instrumental in
establishing this workshop
with college officials. Results
seemed to justify not only con
tinuance of that particular
phase, but enlarging upon it
and adding other features to
the program.
Definitely set for the com
ing summer are two work
shops of the kind held last
year, in which teachers study
current American economic
problems and their ramificat
ions. Dates for these two ses
sions are to be announced in
the near future.
Other aspects of the broad
er program will be considered
during a three-day seminar
to be held on May 14, 15,
and 16 at WCC. Attending this
meeting will be executives of
industries and industrial as
sociations, who will study with
college personnel the needs to
be met In future workshops and
seminars. A slate of top-notch
speakers and consultants will
be on hand for the three-day
session, which will be plan
ned around a theme of "Chang
ing Business and Industrial
Environment In the South
east."
Commenting on the poten
tial of the summer program,
Clarke said: "We in industry
look forward with a great deal
of anticipation to working with
WCC more closely, as indus
tires have worked with col
leges and universities in
other areas.

humor, and as we lumbered
along she told me of many
funny experiences she had had
in her years on the route.
The bookmobile was named
"So Big," and I can think of
no better description for the
woman who drove it.
