Something over four hundred
Protestant laymen met to hear
some of our nation's greatest
Christian leaders. A few of .them
Were Billy Graham, Howard E.
Butt, Jr., Cliff Barrows, George
Beverly Shea, Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale, Dr. Elton Trueblood, Har
old E. Stassen and a boat of others.
In The Christian Faith at
Work" in politics, led by Harold
E. Stassen, he said, "The approach
to our problems today is the Chris
tian one, faith in God. Our riches
will not save us. Those all over
the world, sick, broke and dying
—their problems must be thought
through on Christian principles.
Peacemaking is the greatest pow
er, not military power. We must
never compromise on our faith."
Dr. Peale said, "BlUy Graham Is
the most dedicated, effective dla
cipto living today." Peale went on
to give one of the greatest mes
sages of the conference.
Conferences were held twice
dally on such subjects as "The
Chriatlan Faith at Work" in poll
tics, in the home, in witnesaing, in
human righta, through lay preach
ing, through laymen led revivala,
through Bible teaching, through la
bor management relatlona, voca
tional group conferences in con
struction, oil, administration, salea,
law, insurance and medicine.
Music led by Cliff Barrows and
solds by George Beverly Shea was

"Because labor, transportation

'the food industry will have to
ieek new economies in distribu

to customers."
From the consumer** point of
view, government report* indicate
that production of pork and chick

"We may expect the trend to
ward increased * consumption of
pre-packed meata and produce,
frozen foods of all varieties, bak

for canned foods also will remain
strong because of their^ uniform
