At tho conclusion if the trip the fcir.nos's session will be opened and it is possible that a decision will be reached heforc adjournment for lunch. A point that is t Mug stressed m Salisbury's favor is the fact that while the cash subscription and sites tendered represent the offering of a whole county irres pective of denomination that the seminary, once located, must look to a Lutheran constituency for support and that Rowan being by long and far the strongest Luth eran county in the Carolinas has first claim upon the institution. r The Post is presenting today tome facta furnished by an earn est advocate oi Saiishury s claims and a leader in the North Caroli na Lutheran Synod telling why the seminary should come here.
