Local Priest Explains How Successor
To Pope Pius XII Will Be Selected
By FATHER JOSEPH DEAN
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following
article explains how ? new Pope
will be selected to take the place
of Pope Phis XK who died last
week. The article was written by
Father Joseph Dean of St. Wil
liam's Chapel.
October 27 is the date set for the
election of the successor to Pope
Pius XII.
? The new Pope will be the 262nd
successor to St. Peter, whom Christ
appointed as the visible head of the
Church. He will be officially in
stalled in St. Peter's Cathedral in
Rome about a week after the elec
tions.
Catholic people have the belief
that Christ is the Head of the
Church and the Pope is IBs visible
representative on earth.
Three American Cardinals will
participate in the election in Vati
can City. They arc Cardinal Spell
man of New York, Cardinal Mooney
of Detroit and Cardinal Mclntyre
of Los Angles.
On the day of the election, the
Cardinals offer Mass and go to the
Sistine Chapel where the voting
takes {dace by secret ballot for can
didates deemed most qualified.
A two-thirds plus one, majority
Is required for election, according
to ths Apostolic Constitution.
A procedure of strict secrecy la
observed as follows:
Until an election takes place, the
cardinals remain in seclusion in the
Vatican palace. The inside door is
locked by the oldest cardinal. The
outside door is locked by the civil
marshal.
Alter the celebration of Mass
and prayers to the Holy Spirit for
guidance, the cardinals take their
places at individual desks. There
they write out their blank ballots
and seal them.
Before voting, each takes an oath
to observe the secrecy of the elec
tion. Then each draws numbers
for his individual bedroom near
the Sis tine Chapel in case the
election carries on several days
A little stove is set up in the cor
ner at the entrance of the chapel
with a chimney leading out of the
roof so that it can be seen on the
Square of St. Peter's.
If no cardinal receives more than
two-thirds, after the votes are cast
then the ballots are put in the stove
with damp straw added. The thick
smoke shows that no Pope is yet
chosen. The vote is taken in the
morning and again in the evening.
After each vote the cardinals place
their ballots on the altar before
they are counted.
When the necessary majority is
reached, the ballots are bunted
without the damp straw. The light
smoke ascending from the chimney
proclaims to the people the election
of the new Pope.

Andrews Battle
To Tie
With Sylva Team
Sylva and Andrews, locked in
combat that could have settled the
Smoky Mountain Conference race
once and for all, battled to a score
less tie in Andrews Friday night.
A crowd of 3,000? largest ever to
witness an athletic contest in An
drews?watched the teams batter
each other back and forth.
The tie clinched at least a tie
for the conference championship
for Andrews which has completed
its league play with a 6-0-1 record.
Sylva, now 3-0-1, still has three
conference games to play and by
winning all, can tie Andrews for the
crown.
Line play, the most nigged seen
here in several years, dominated
the game and two of the confer
ence's top backs, Lionel Brooks of
Slyva and Terry Postell of An
drews, were completely bottled up.
Apparently, both teams set their
defenses to stop these men.
Sylva fumbled early in the game
? on its own 29 ? and Andrews re
covered.
But the Hurricane wall stiffened
and held Andrews on the 22. Later
in the period Andrews fumbled the
ball away on its 30, but Sylva
couldn't move.
In the second period, Sylva pre
sented its biggest threat, advanc
ing to the Andrews nine where the
Wildcats held and took over on
downs.
Andrews didn't pose a serious
threat until the fourth quarter
when the Wildcats moved twice to
the Sylva 8. The Hurricane held
for downs on the first thrust and
the final whistle killed Andrews'
last drive on the Sylva 8.

Blaze Destroys
Top Floor
Of Ethel's Shop
A fire, thought to be cause by
defective wiring, did considerable
damage to a Murphy business firm
early Monday morning.
The blaze in tne upper floor of
the Ethel Shop on Tennessee Street
was discovered by Mrs. Ross Lov
ingood, owner of the shop.
The fire was confined mainly to
the upper floor.
Fire chief W. S. Dickey said the
fire apparently started from defec
tive wiring.
Mr. Lovingood said he did not
believe the building could be re
paired. He speculated that it would
have to be torn down and re -built.
Stock in the store was carried
into the street by spectators at
the blaze. It was later carried to
another down town store for stor
age.
Mr. Lovingood, who was away
on a hunt at the time of the fire,
said Ethel Lovingood discovered
the blaze when she entered the
building Monday.
When she lighted a fire in a heat
ing stove, Mrs. Lovingood heard
the crackling of flames in the up
per floor. She rushed to another
store to call the fire department.
By that time, Mr. Lovingood
said, the roof of the building was
covered in black smoke.
The building had a tin roof which
buckled in spots from the flames.
Mr. Lovingood said he could not
estimate the damage to the build
ing or the stock of supplies.
At present, he said, he has not
decided when the store wil be re
built.
The Lovingoods have operated
the store for the past 12 years.
