Tear Gas Shooting Brings Conviction;
McKeithen On Bench As Judge Pro Tern
Deldon Leach Strider, 19-year
old Carthage youth who is under
$3,500 bond for the tear gas shoot
ing cf Police Chief Lewis Frye of
Wagram, was in recorders court
Monday charged with a similar
offense against his own brother.
Pleading not guilty, the stocky
blond-haired youth was convicted-
of assault and battery against
Rankin Strider and possession of
a tear gas gun, a violation of the
law for any unauthorized person,
not a law enforcement officer.
Judgment was continued until
April 6 on condition that he ap
pear in court February 16 and
show that he has paid Rankin
Strider $50, and that he has deliv
ered the pistol to the sheriff to
be destroyed. He was ordered to
pay court costs immediately.
It was the warrant taken out by
Rankin in mid-December, charg
ing his younger brother with the
shooting, which called attention to
Deldon after the Christmas Eve
attack on Chief Frye, and led to
the arrest by Sheriff C. J. McDon
ald of the Carthage youth and
Frank Malone. Both are bended
to appear in Scotland County
criminal court next month. Ad
mitting everything after his ar
rest, Deldon told the sheriff and
two SBI agents that he had
thrown the tear gas gun into a
creek. It has not been found and
Monday’s sentence indicated it is
believed to be still in his posses
sion.
Monday marked a historic
session of Moore recorders
court. It was the first time
Judge J. Vance Rowe had
been absent since he was first
elected in 1934. He i^ a victim
of the flu.
The county conunissioners,
holding their February meet
ing at the courthouse, ap
pointed as his first pinch-
hitter in 18 years W. A. Le-
land McKeithen, who had trac
ed the bench from, the other
-side as county solicitor for 14
years, except for an interval
of war service, until his resig
nation last October. The
judge pro tern’ is a former
pre'-'d’nt of the N. C. Bar as
sociation, and a present mem
ber of the State Bar Council.

Warning Issued
Against Danger
Of Forest Fires
Permits for burning brush
weeds and ether debris must b(
secured on and after February 1
reminds County Forest Ranger
Travis G. Wicker, in a statement
in which he warns of the ap
proaching forest fire season, anc
the necessity to guard agains
woods fires.
The county ranger said persont
who burn brush within 500 feet
of wooded areas protected by the
State Forest Service, without hav
ing obtaihed permits, will be pros
ecuted. Conviction on a charge of
burning brush or other matter
without securing a permit is pun
ishable by a fine of $50 or impris
onment fer 30 days. The brush
burning law is in effect from Feb
ruary 1 to June 1, and from Octo
ber 1 through November 30.
In pointing out the danger that
fire holds for Moore forests, Mr.
Wicker cited the forest fire dam
age in this county during 1952. .
In that year Moore county had
a total of 60 forest fires, with 6,-1

Safety hints for burning brush
are: (1) Burn brush late in after
noon—4 p. m. and on—so that
there is less danger of the fire
burning out of control. It is dan
gerous to burn brush between 11
a. m. and 4 p. m., as winds are
usually high and the danger
greater
(2) Before burning a field, ditch
bank or piled brush, be sure that
there is no way for the fire to
work its way to a wooded area.
A plowed line is one of the best
safeguards against woods fires.
(3) Have enough help available
to confine the fire to the area sel
ected tC‘ be burned.
(4) Burning permits may be se-j
cured from the forest ranger, dis-|
trict forester, at the fire towers |
or .from persons who have been,
designated to issue them. There]
is no charge for permits. |

TF THE modern reader of the par-
able of the laborers in the vine
yard is puzzled, he at least has
the comfort of knowing that great
Bible scholars have been puzzled
too. He also has the discomfort
of knowing that no interpretation
he can put upon it will have unani
mous agreement. To be sure, there
are some things it does not mean.
This parable does not give a mod
el for labor and management.
Jesus was not talking about wages
literally. He was saying some
thing about God. and his dealings
with man. Furthermore, this par
able does not mean that God’s
only reason for doing things is “be
cause;” that he is one whose acts
have neither rhyme nor reason.
But what does this parable mean?
Among the various plausible inter
pretations that have been given it
by Christian thinkers, let us pick
out one of the most important
truths that this peculiar story sug
gests.
» » *
Nothing to Sell
That truth is: The grace of God
cannot be earned. To desire the
loving favor, the “grace,” of God,
is to desire the greatest gift God
can bestow. But
it cannot be
bought. It cannot
be earned. We
can see that this
is true by think
ing a moment.
Think whose it
is. We can pay
for business fa
vors, we can tip
a waiter or a
porter for doing
something special
we can’t tip God. We can employ
the services of all sorts of people;
but God’s services are not for
hire. We can earn anything on
earth, or many things; but the
grace of God is from heaven.
What he does for man is a gift,
not a payment.
, And then think who we are. Sup
pose we really thought we could
do a bookkeeping business with
God. If we get it into our foolish
heads that he owes us something,
,what about our debt to him? If we
must have it on a bookkeeping
basis, we shall always be in the
red.
« * *
Earning God’s Grace
Still, the race of man includes
many fools. And some of these
have tried to do the impossible,
to earn the infinite grace of God.
One way they have tried is to buy
it. A lifelong rascal’s conscience
wiU finally begin to hurt him, and
so to get God on his side he will
build a cathedral or endow an
orphanage or pour money into
some church treasury, hoping that
God will overlook the villainous
ways in which he earned the
money because of the pious way
in which he spends it. Other men
(a little more on the “religious”
side) seem to think they can
sweet-talk God into being their
friend. They would not put it that
way; they would say that God will
listen to their many prayers. Do
they not regularly attend prayer
meetings, or early communions,
and should not God be expected to
do soipething for them in return?
Others, again, hope that God
can be made to feel so sorry for
them that he will pour out on them
his special grace. If they do not
have natural troubles they wiU
make artificial troubles for them
selves. They will go without proper
food and clothing, they will wear
hair shirts or iron chains around
their waists, they will roll on beds
of spikes or go without baths for
years and years. But God’s grace
does not go to the highest bidders;
it does not go to the most long-
winded prayers; it is not offered
as a reward for self-inflicted
wounds. God’s grace must be taken
as a gift or not at all.
* * *
Grace and Gratitude
Then does it make no difference
what we do? WUl God be just as
good to us, no matter what? Shall
we even “do evil that grace may
abound,” that is, shall we make
God’s grace even more gracious
by being as bad as we can be?
Not by any means. The truly good
life is not a way of earning the
grace of God; it is a way of re
sponding to the grace of God.
Some one has said that religion
is gratitude. Religion is our re
sponse to God, not his to us. Re
ligion is our reply to the infinite
goodness of the Almighty, not his
reply to our part-way, badly mixed
and human goodness. Indeed, the
good life is more than a lifelong
act of gratitude; the good life it
self is the effect of God’s grace.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.

Nancy’s not afraid of policemen. You can tell
that by her open expression of friendliness as
she looks up at the officer helping her across the
street.
In some countries the law is not so kind. It is
not used, as in America to protect the individ
ual. It is not made for the masses, but for the
few to do with as they please.
In our great land you’ll see policemen at nearly
every city school, not to correct, but to protect
your children at the street crossings.
That is because our country and its la'ws have
been founded on Christianity.
Support your church and give your children
continued protection and the freedom to live,
learn, and worship as they please.
