Cavel Methodists Plan For
New Church S. S. Building
Sundav School Plans An
nounced Yesterday At Ded
ication of Church.
Dedication of Ca-Vel Community
Methodist Church, an event lone
delayed because of the illness of
Bishop W. W. Peele, of Richmond,
Va., occurred yesterday morning as
eleven o'clock, with Dr. J. M. Or
mond,-of Duke University Divinity
School faculty, Durham, its speak
er.
Leaders in the dedicriinn cere
mony conducted by the Rev. Dr.
Ormond were Willie Lawrence Clay
ton, chairman of the board of trus
tees for the church and Jim Spake,
treasurre. Pastor of the church is
flic Rev. Alvin C. Young, who pre
sided and introduced the speaker.
Announced yesterday were plans
to begin a campaign for building
a second unit, of which Jack Sat
terfield is chairman, have set as
their goal the raising of .54,000 for
this purpose to be contributed with
in the next conference vear.
Members of the Society of Chris
tian Service, with Mrs. Luther
Whitt as chairman, arc seeking to
raise SSOO for the new unit within
the year.
Dr. Ormond, who in his address
drove sharply home the responsi
bilities of church members in pe
serving peace in what he character
ized as the "Atomic Bomb Age,"
said that dedication of Ca-Vel
Community Methodist Church gave
him particular pleasure because the
new church here is one of 542 rural
Methodist churches constructed in
the Carolinas with the aid of the
Duke Endowment, an agency with
which he is connected.
The atomic bomb, according to
Dr. Ormond, is a power planted by
God in the universe, but what hap
pens now depends on what we do
witjj .this newly discovered power..
The speaker said ’further that the
United States, now regarded as the
most powerful nation, can become
the mast hated, or the most loved
nation in the world, depending on
what use is made of power.
Immediately after the completion
of the dedication ritual dinner was
served on the grounds, with the in
vocation by the Rev. Dr.* Ormond.
Food was placed on long tables on
the rear lawn of the church.
Other pastors of Cavel Methodist
rhurch have been four young men,
the Rev. T. Marvin Vick, Jr., now
e chapain in the United States
army. Rev. R. w. Rainwater, Jr.,
also now a chaplain. Rev. W. T.
Medlin, Jr., and Rev. J. R. Joiy. The
church was formed during the stay
of the Rev. Mr. Vick and first
meetings wore held in a schoo 1 house
jointly used for the same purpose
by Baptists.
Present District Superintendent is
Dr. H. C. Smith, of Durham, who
spoke here Friday at beginning of
dedication services. In addition to
Mr. Satterfield, chairman, other
members of the Board of Stewards
are. Espey Jones, Ray Johnson
Fank Williams, Jack Clayton, Jake
Lane, John O'Briant, R. M. Pow
ell, and James Spake. The Board i
also serves as the building com
mittee. Trustees, in addition to
Chairman Willie L. Clayton, are
Thomas Curies and Mr. Spake.
The present church, of brick, with j
paneled walls, has been completed
for some time, but the dedication
was postponed because of the con
tinued ilness of the Rev. Dr. Peele,
of Richmond, presiding bishop.

Raleigh.—Governor Cherry said
Saturday all trained Selective Ser

Igardless of whether their personal
opinion is against a continuance of

j “We all." he said, "have the in
i herent American privilege to have
jour personal opinion and through
j proper channels we have the right
| to question the necessity for a con

( "However, it would seem proper
l and fitting that the trained Sel.ec
j tive Service officials should continue
(in their respective positions until
i honorably discharged by the proper
order of those in authority."
j He added, "That is the procedure
(required of the members of the arm

British Make
I New Usage Os
Radar In Battle
An RAF Bomber Base. England.—
The British Air Ministry today made
known the workings of a highly ef
fective form of radar called "oboe,"
which led bombers to targets in
Germany on beams sent out from
I ground stations in England, and ev
j'en told bombardiers when to release
bombs.
j, These stations, it was disclosed,
were able to "watch" planes along
the entire route, in fog, storm or
darkness, and were a major factor
in blasting Adolf Hitler's war plants.
If the Krupp Armament Works at
Essen, Germany, was the target, a
radar beam 17 feet wide would be
aimed at the city from a ground
station near Dover (that is believed
to be one reason lor so much Ger
man cross-Channel shelling of Do
ver). The beam would hit Essen
right over the Krupp works, just
like an imaginary wire rope hang
ing in the skjj with tips extending
many miles outside the city on two
sides.
Bombers would take off and make
a beeline for Essen. Wherever they
intercepted the beam automatic sig
nals would start flashing and coded
dots and dashes begin coming over
the earphones. All a pilot has to do
was turn squarely onto the beam
and follow it to the target.
When he reached a certain point,
so many seconds from the assigned
target, he received a coded "release
bombs" signal from the ground op
erator back in England.
When the pilot returned he could
see his bomb run recorded in black
and white on a graph made by an
electrical instrument similar to
I weather graphing machines.

more particularly because the young
artist has chosen to draw portraits
of three of the world's most famous
,mathematicians. Erastothenes. Pv
' thagoras and Euclid, all Greeks of
'the pre-christian centuries.
Largest of the drawings is that
of Erastothenes, who in 230 B. C,

Her lines are clear, however, and
not muddy or confused. Another
artist in the family is Clyde Wade,
a brother, known here as a: pianist.
Miss Wade, about eighteen years
of age, just wanted to do those,

of it. and Mrs. Cole, says they are
to be hung in her classroom—an in

Appeals For Aid
To Frenchmen
Washington.—Gen. Charles dr

objective of his visit is to promote

the complete reorganization and
modernization of French industry.
For an hour, the tail French presi
dent faced a hundred news report
ers and delivered prompt answers
to questions ranging in geography
from Germany's Ruhr Basin to
French Indo-China.
He was generous in his praise of
American help in. the solving of
France's temporary relief 'arid re
construction problems, but lie em
phasized that this was "temporary"
assistance.
It Was evident that his talks with
President Truman and the lengthy
conferences between French For
eign Minister Georges Bidault and
Secretar y of State Byrnes were con
cerned with bringing into reality a
blue-printed plan extending over
a number of years by which France
could achieve her long-range eco
nomic aspirations.
The news conference was a high
light of a busy day during which
l)e Gaulle was decorated by Presi
dent Truman. In a ceremony at the
White House, Mr. Truman present
ed him the Legion of Merit and the
accompanying degree of Chief Com
mander.
At tlic same time the President
pinned around the neck of Bidault
the Legion of Merit, degree of Com

At the conclusion of the award
