The event was broadcast over Radio , Station WCKB. ~ In addition to the large crowd, .(messages poured in from Currituck to California and from Oregon to . Texas. Messages came from former pastorates in North Carolina, Geor , gia, Texas and other states. Dr. Cuthrell is president of the North Carolina Disciples Os Christ and that organization also took of ficial recognizance of the observ -1 ance. REVIEWS CAREER The noted Dunn pastor, who gave up more strenuous duties in the larger churches of his denomina tion to return to the smaller Dunn church, devoted his sermon Sunday morning to “Fifty Years In The Ministry.” Visibly moved by the great dem onstration in his honor. Dr, Cuth rell told ,the crowd with tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat so big that he could hardly speak: “I am overcame by your love and your kindness to me. I feel so unworthy. This is truly a Heaven on earth.” Dr. Cuthrell’s sermon was a mas terful oration in which he tried to briefly hit the highlights of his career and to outline his philosophy of religion and Christianity. Following are some excerpts from his sermon: “Most humbly do I stand before you this moaning. My life has been rich and full and eventful. . . .

JOSEPH, Mo. llP)—The crest of the Missouri River, running buff to bluff down its flood-soaked valley, bore down on St. Joseph today in its rush toward a rendezvous with the mighty Mis,sissinni. There was every indication from all critical points that St. Joseph was set for the blow. Some 1,600 soldiers and airmen fought to save a giant Air Force in stallation downst.)>am at Fcrt Leavenworth. Kan., and men and boys, from 10 years old upwards, sandbagged dikes as they contin ued a night-long struggle against the Mississippi at La Cross, Wis. The two-week battle against the destructive floodwaters of the two rivers that have driven nea-ly 100,000 persons from their homes, inundated hundreds of thousands of acres of rich farmlands and caus ed estimated damage in excess of f 200.000.000 appeared to be enter ing its final stages, authorities said. They believed that when the Missouri’s crest reaches St. Louis, the Mississippi will have flattened out sufficiently to absorb the giant inflow from the muddy Mo.' But ft was still touch and go in this city of 78,588 persons, and downstream at Fort Leavenworth where military men labored to keep the Missouri’s yellow water out of the multi-million dollar Sherman Air Force Base. Officers were optimistic after an all-night fight and said: “We are still ahead of the river and we are fighting to stay that way.” As the last echo of applause ' died away the audience filed out j of the auditorium exclaiming with rabid enthusiasm over tiW ’ the interpretation placed . the actors. One lady asked her cofc ‘ . “Didn’t you just weep when Ciftudia admitted to her husband that she had overheard his conversation with her mother?” A gentleman asked. “I liked the way Ed Stewart handled the part of David.” Others could be heard remark ing about how much pleasure the play had brought them and some one said, “it definitely was a fin ished performance.’’ As we too wended out way up the aisle toward the exit, we felt a surge of pride sweep over us. They did do an outstanding Job, these members of our community, our fellow citizens. For the most of them this was their first histrionic endeavor. They had found that the way of the thespian is difficult and m»nv sacrifices had to be made. Our cast has made them without com plaint, they had toiled arduously, thinking only of doing a good lob. In this they had not failed: and yet theirs was an even greater tri umph. They were aware that the future of our Little Theatre was at stake and if it was to continue in public indulgence they would have to prove the worth of the protect. They must lend It dignity and vitality. They knew they must come forward with another "hit.” This they did and this was the Little Theatre’s crowning achievement. A sincere and abiding faith in their own initiative and an en thusiastic desire to present a pro fessional interpretation led them or! to a victorious achievement of the task they had undertaken. MRB. ALDREDGE STARS Mrs. Edna Aldredge as Claudia was the star In every sense of the word. When she wept, we wept, and when her mood was light and facetious, so was ours. Edwin Stewart was convincing as the tolerant and ever-loving hus band of Claudia. Not once did he stray from the role of David Naugh ton. Delcie Clifford was superb as the mother, Mrs. Brown. She played her role with tenderness and com passion. Her interpretation was one of warmth and depth. She deserves our praise and the appreciation of all Little Theatre devotees. Evelyn Gainey’s portrayal of the shrewd and vivacious Mademe Dan ischka was quite masterful. She romped back and forth across the stage in a delightful and wholly < fascinating fashion. 1 Charles Williams was ideally cast as-the charming rogue, Jerry Sey more. He handled this role with i the expertness and suavity of a pro- I fessional. His sense of timing and < “• *fr° tt P ßaß ta 0,8 mort (Continued On Rage two) DUNN, N.

(IP» Mord than 2,000 inmates of the world’s largest prison rioted today, running rampant through the cellblocks as state police were called in from throughout the state. The south half of the ring of cell blocks was seized by the rioters. Yelling, catcalling and destroying everything they could lay their hands on, the prisoners flooded out into the yards. Four guards were held as Hos tages. Five others escaped would be captors but were injured in the rioting. Warden Julian Frisbe pull ed all guards back to protect the administration building. More than 100 state troopers and guards were, prepared to fire vomit and tear gas into the milling thong.
