‘Lay Ambassadors’
Overseas Exert
Good Influence
The army of men and women
serving unofficially in all corners
of the globe as representatives
and ambassadors of the American
way of life is doing an outstand
ing “selling” job for this country,
Dr. Robbins W. Barstow of New
York City told members of the
Sandhills Kiwanis Club on Wed
nesday.
“They are selling America in
the way we’d like to have it sold,
and at a time when American
prestige is not as high as it once
was,” he told the group.
Dr. Barstow, executive of the
National Council of Churches of
Christ in America, outlined the
part these lay ambassadors over
seas are playing in counteracting
Communist propoganda. As rep
resentatives of the council, they
are combatting by example and
influence the “negatives” about
us, such as;
We are too rich, too powerful,
causing envy, fear and jealousy.
We want to take them over. We
are overrun by criminal elements,
an impression they gain from our
movies emphasizing gunplay and
sex.
Influence for Good
He told of the American com
munity churches established over
seas, and jhe important part they
play. Through them we are pro
viding spiritual gifts, more impor
tant than commercial, he said.
The speaker was introduced by
Dr. W. C. Timmons of the Church
of Wide Fellowship here.

Church Officers
To Be Elected
At Parish Supper
Past and future activities of the
church will be discussed and of
ficers will be elected at the an
nual parish supper of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church to be held Mon
day.
A covered dish supper will be
served in the Parish Hall at 7, p.
m., by the Morning Guild, assist
ed by other guilds of the church.
After supper, there will be elec
tion of officers—including a treas
urer and three men to serve as
vestrymen for the next three
years—and a moving picture,
“Vision of Victory,” pertaining to
the work of the National Church
^ in the Philippines, will be shown.
Thomas C. Darst, Jr., senior

V. Covell is rector of the church.

and Saturday. Contributing great

mary Clooney and Vera Ellen In
all, 13 songs are staged providing
a workout for all concerned and a
pleasure for all who watch.
“White Christmas” receives a
standout boost from the new
Vista.Vision process. The system
possesses a clarity of color and
definition that is extremely im
pressive. Its use serves as a strong
asset for the picture. VistaVision
is also responsible for a sense of
vastness in that it lends a strong
visual impact to the proceedings
in delivering steady picture qual
ity at various wide-screen ratios.
Bing Crosby, looking half his
years, sings as young as he looks,
and clowns in pace with Kaye,
the fastest living all-events enter
tainer, who reciprocates by sing
ing back at the master. Miss
Clooney handles the feminine
singing opportunities potently
and Miss Ellen dances fascina
tingly and often.
“White Christmas” has every
thing any tip-top musical is ex
pected to have, plus one thing no
other attraction ever had. That
one thing is VistaVision, and Vis-
taVision is destined to be a mag
netic word henceforth.
