CATHOLIC INFORMATION Protestants And Catholics Unite In Prayer During the week beginning Jan uary 18, Protestants and Catholics throughout the world will be praying for Church Unity—"that there may be one flock and one shepherd.” And never was there more need for presenting a united front of prayer to Almighty God than right now. This week of prayer—the Church Unity Octave, as it is call ed—originated in the Protestant Church about 50 years ago. It started with a group of devout Episcopalians who were saddened at the frightful sight of a Chris tianity torn to shreds by contra dicting beliefs. Looking around, they saw the Catholic Church with its 365 million communi cants throughout the world; they saw it as the largest, the most ancient, the most efficiently or ganized, and the most powerful church claiming to teach God’s truth. Because they remembered the words of Jesus to the Apostle Peter—“And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock will build my Church. . . . And I will give unto thee the Keys of the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matt. 16: 18-19)—be cause they knew that the Holy Father is the only living man who claims to be Peter's successor as the head of Christ’s Church, they resolved to pray for guidance during the week included between these dates: January 18, the Feast of St. Peter’s Chair at Rome, and January 25, the Feast of St. Paul’s Conversion. Catholics soon took up the prac tice, together with their Protes tant brethren. So that on the i morning of the Eighteenth, our Holy Father the Pope will offer his Mass for Church Unity, to gether with the hundreds of millions of Catholics all over the earth—not only Latin Catholics, but Greek, Syrian, and Armenian i Catholics, together with a num-1 ber of Greek Orthodox, as well. | In 1950, over 1,500 Anglican ministers joined in prayer, and 40 of their religious communities. In Northern Europe—before the war, at least—there .was a small but increasing number of Luther- [ an pastors praying along. The Executive Committee of the World Conference for Faith and Order, I meeting at Stockholm, Lausanne, I and Geneva, passed a resolution; of commendation. Join your prayers with those of your fellow Christians. Learn to say each night: Lord, if I am right, Thy grace impart, Still in the right to stay: If I am wrong, then guide my ■ heart, To fmd a bette~ way.

J. Smith of St. Pauls, own er and operator of a tobacco warehouse at Lumberton, pur chased the Felton Garner home at Long Beach this week and is preparing to spend the summer there with his family.

It was with much regret that we learned of the death of one of our faculty members, Mrs. Ruby Johnson of Elkin. Mrs. Johnson was accidently killed by a car last Friday night in South Carolina. She was a person who was dearly loved by all who knew her. At last,, we can breathe easily. Exams are over! Monday we be gan taking our exams for the half-year. They lasted until Thurs day. Since there was a ball game Tuesday night, some of the teaeh ers gave us a day more to study. The Myrtle Beach teams were the opponents for the Pirates Tuesday night. At the half of the girls game the score was 16 to 22 in favor of Shallotte, but the score ended with a 41 to 39 lead for Myrtle Beach. The boys score was 42 to 20 in favor of Myrtle Beach. The Jolly Roger staff received a notice this week to have the annual finished by January 20. All the week they worked like mad on it. Friday evening they received another notice that they had two more weeks grace. The Block “S” members met Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of last week. They voted in some new members, discussed _ Ians for making money, planned the foot ball banquet, ordered sweaters and pins and of all things, dis Farm Equipment Bargain WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING ODD PIECES OF FARM EQUIPMENT WHICH WE ARE OF FERING AT GIVE-AWAY PRICES: 1—AYRES PEANUT PLANTER 1— AYERS 2-ROW DISTRIBUTOR 2— AYERS 2-ROW CULTIVATORS WE ALSO HAVE A FEW:— Cole PLANTERS & DISTRIBUTORS GALVANIZED 5-V ROOFING Kirby Hardware SHALLOTTE, N.

To top it all of the I cheer leaders came up with a | new yell called the “Hadacol j Yell". It is really cute, so listen i for it at the next game. Friday 13th really seemed to be ! unlucky for the Pirates. The Ice land girls won over Shallotte 33 to 26 while the Leland boys won by a score of 40 to 27.

HAVING POOR LUCK Several Southport boats oper ating further north for food fish are said to have been meeting with rather poor luck. Bad wea ther has been keeping them in. On top of this the catches are small when they do get out. I HOSPITAL AUXILIARY j There will be a meeting of the : Hospital Auxiliary tomorrow j (Thursday) afternoon at 3:30 I o'clock at the home of Mrs. H. ! B. Smith. All members are urged to attend. FOUR PRISONERS Continued From Page One obtained a file. With this they fasioned a couple of crude keys that unlocked a door to a store j room in the jail. In this room [ they obtained a crowbar and other implements and proceeded to dig a hole through the brick walls underneath a widow. All four crawled out through this opening and were gone when De puty Sheriff G. D. Robinson car ried breakfast to the jail Mon day morning. All other officers had to at tend court at Southport Monday morning, so Deputy Bland went on a still hunt for Bozeman at his home near Shallotte. He spot ted Bozeman near the house and ran him down at the end of a touch race. Bozeman was still carrying 3 quarts of whiskey that he had taken from the store room in jail when he was re captured. Turning Bozeman over to the sheriff, who brought him back to jail, Bland launched out in a hunt for the others. He struck the trail of Long and aided by dogs that he had obtained from the State Prison camp at Shal lotte, ran him until 2 o’clock. Some ten miles were covered by the officer and fleeing man in this chase and the dogs finally lost the trail. Joined late in the afternoon by State Highway Patrolman J. C. Pierce and Deputy C. O. Blanton, Bland again picked up the trail of the negro and the three officers finally caught him at a point between Supply and Bolivia. This I second capture was made at 5:30 I o’clock. , When the three officers return- j ed the second man to jail, Deputy Bland was barefooted. The reason was readily apparent. He had blistered both heels during his prolonged and vigorous efforts to capture the two men. Jordan was recaptured at his home in Conway, S. C., and re turned her to jail Tuesday. CHAIRMAN GIVES Continued From Page One farmer his fair share of the available market and to stimulate shifts in production which keep supplies in line with consumer needs.” The combined programs of con servation and price supports, to assure abundant, balanced pro duction, also help to stabilize con sumer prices. “Certainly this bal anced abundance results in a more favorable price level to consum ers,” says the chairman, “than when there is far too much of one product and too little of another. If farmers were forced to resort to scarcity programs to maintain price levels it would mean that there would be too little to go around. The farm program is in fact a farmer-consumer program to assure continued, abundant, balanced producting”. CONWAY HEARING Continued From Page One made the following statement: “All interested parties are in vited to be present or represent ed at the above time and place, i including representatives of Fed- [ eral, State, county, and municipal! agencies, and those of commer cial, industrial, civic, highway, I railroad, and waterway transpor-1 tation (or flood control) interests, and property owners concei ned.

Sponsors of the im provement are urged to present pertinent factual material bearing upon the general plan of im provement desired and the econo mic justification of the under taking.
