Johnson said, in a statement accompanying the signing of the 1904 Federal-Aid Highway Act, “the man who owns and drives an automobile has been treated like a step child" The statue of the motorist, as summed up by President John son, is this: “We require him to pay for the highways he uses and are require him to pay in advance. We divert hie taxes to other usee but we delay the building of the roads that he deserves. We denounce him for getting snarled in traffic jams not of his own making. We com plain about what he ooets us but we never thank him for what he adds to the worth and wealth of our economy. We could not get along without him, but we often talk as though we cant live with him.” Although he described the r American motorist as “often the ■eel neglected member of our society,” the President held out odme encouragement. “Today, as never before,” he said, “tbs Federal, State and local gov ernments are working together to meet the highway needs of this Nation on wheels.” The bill signed by the Pieei dent aathorUea the apportion ment sf 91 Warn to the States during fee amt tore pears to egan fpisMmksd bp American load Builders' A sen., world Center Bldg., Washington. 0.

The $2 billion of Federal funds will be matched by the States on a 60-60 basis to provide a $4 billion construction program. All of the Federal funds and most of the State funds, are de rived from special taxes on highway users. As the President was careful to point out, the highway pro gram operates not only through Federal-State-local cooperation but also "because of the leader ship of dedicated men of both parties.” And the fact that leaders of both of the major political parties are aware of the magnitude of the dividends paid out from our investment in highways is a good omen for the future of the highway pro gram. These dividends include lower vehicle operating costa, time savings, the reduction of aeci dent ooets and the savings of lives, and great Indirect benefits extending throughout the na tional economy. As the President said. “This It one of out beet investments, and I think moat of the Informed leaders of this country w'.’t agree on that point” Comedian Dick Gregory, pre sented a medal by the Presbyte rian Interracial Council, offered that rebuke to churches here* in an acceptance speech last Mon day. “A white person can go to the majority of eh arches In America without ever seeing a Negro; and a Negro can go to ehnreh almost anywhere with out ever seeing a white.” Gregory said. "It’s always a pleasure.” he said, "to be around the church when it is speaking out on this great rac ial Injustice. I personally feel that, had the church spoken out a lit tle earlier,-there would be a lot of people living today who are not.” Gregory, who originally was to have received the award last May. received it here prior to the PlC's participation in a silent vigil sup porting the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party's efforts at the National Democratic Convention. The presentation was made by Mrs. Joan Block, national vice president of PIC, at a luncheon given in Gregory’s honor. government FRESH DRESSED * l, * JLJIJIi m ■surname MOHKELL*S CANNED *' wmS HAMS 3 - Pima SHUTS PREMIUM FRANKS as 49c "o'porton A A SWIFTS urn M15ME...... s 43« W a I aJ LB. 0 «§r "colonial stosi FRESH RHOMB MINI STEAK .. » 79c will be JVIOT TENDER CLOSID LABOR day CHOPPED SIRLOIN 4 ro« 99c FILET MXGAIOM MONDAY, BEPTERfiBEB T mmeme m avaaweauureu DON'T FORGET TO STOCK mail-r»o«H IR*T Mat ■smssmmmsmmwmwnusssmßmm vnunt Ml Al bav OF 12 u ” &*.k™«nd lomo FBTEH BREASTS«49c Itmiiu STiusi «z.

That’s not a reflection on the Klan, that’s a reflection on the church. The way some of those churches are, they didn’t bum enough of them. “The ehureh cannot only save America, but eventually save the whole world—but K will bare to work very hard. The ehureh is in trouble, and as long no the ehnreh to in trouble, we ail are in trouble. "The ehnreh talks about love. I think it ought to teueh respect.
