of the wreck. The ''wreck",

Since 1 was

Jienment immediately. Grabbing

hnd and I after narrowly escap
ing boinp wrecked ourselves on the
iee-covcred highways arrived at
the scene of the disaster at 2:30
Thursday afternoon. Army planes
droned overhead and we knew there
was going to be trouble getting pic
tores. Two of the cars of the
train were crushed these wer
wooden and the others looked as
if somebody had taken a huge axe
and had slashed them and then
had driven them into the ground.
A throng of people were milling
about the scene. As I approached,
a touph sergeant asked where the
hell I was going with that camera.
Why, to take a few pictures as
special representative of the As
sociated Press, I replied. Do you
kave permission? Oh, yes, see this
Associated Press card. Okay, then,
move along.
Next came an official of the
railroad. No pictures, he stormed.
Finally he agreed for me to make
ne picture. I told him I wanted
to get a view of the whole wreck,
then. A little corporal from Brook
lyn accompanied me to see that I
only made the one photograph. As
I prepared for the shot, I found
that my camera was not function
ing properly these high-priced
cameras are delicate instruments
and that there was no certainty
that the picture would be any good.

In fact, the odds were that it would
not be. Well, nothing to do but try
so I took a shot. The day was
clear and the ground was white
with snow and the glare was ter
rific. By glancing - at my light
meter, I found that the day was
brighter than mid-day in summer
and the shadows were peculiar.
The corporal and I were walk
ing up the track when a lieutenant
and a sergeant came rushing at
us. The lieutenant grabbed my
camera no use arguing with the
Army and threatened to destroy
the picture, saying all the while
that the railroad had no right to
give me permission to shoot even
one picture. I told him the shot
was no good, but that he could have
it if he wanted it.
Upshot of the whole thing was
that I left the scene of the wreck
with that one picture and 11 more
which I had taken while pretending
to be working with my camera. But
I felt that not one was any good.
Meantime, Ralph Howland had
been asking everybody a thousand
questions and had a good story
forming in his mind. We drove to
Red Springs, six miles away, and
Howland phoned his story to Char
lotte. The funeral home at Red Springs
was full and a nearby garage con
tained 45 bodies, many of which
were mangled beyond recognition.
The Army ambulance brought in
arms, legs, a head. And one time
as they were moving the bodies,
two feet with shoes barely hanging
to them, dropped out of the sheet.
I raised my camera to take a pic
ture and a military policeman
leveled his sub-machine prune at
me. No picture.
I believe he meant luisiiuss. I
don't think he was in his rights,
but evidently he did.
About five o'clock Thursday aft
ernoon, the Atlanta offices of the
AP notified us at Red Springs that
George Skaddings, crack AP pic
ture special ;st, had been sent by
plane from Washington to put MY
pictures on the portable wirephoto
machine which he was bringing
with him.

BLIND SIDE When wo arriv
ed within 500 yards of the wreck,
our car was stopped. No pictures.
I got out and said I was going on
back to Red Springs by foot. About
a half-mile up the read, I took off
through the woods and through the
siow, over barbed wire fences and
across ditches, through the briars.
But I was gradually coming up on
the blind side of the wreck . .
on the side that was covered with
broom straw, stubby pines, mid off
over there to the right, hay stacks.
Cold, feet wet, shivering, I made
for the hay stacks after traveling
for about a mile-and-a- half.
Night was coming on fast, and
there were only a few people
around the wreck now. The wind
whistled, blowing the snow. From
a distance of 300 feet, I started
taking pictures. I knew I was too
far away, but I had to have some
thing. I shot a pack 12 pictures
and put the pack in my hat, in
case I was searched. I moved up
about four more hay stacks and
then 12 more pictures. Although
FROM THE Ume of J as us'
birth until He was 12 we have no
record of His life, and from then
until He emerged from His home
to commence Hia ministry, we
have no word about Him
Jesus was about 32 years old
before He began His mission, pre
sumably the time He had spent in
His home as boy youth and man
the carpenter He had been
preparing fot this
His second cousin, John the
Baptist, had become prominent
figure in Palestine however,
preaching the repentance of sins
and baptism the sign of repent
ance and a willingness to lead a
good life
Luke tells us of the birth of
John, and the prophecy that "he
shall be filled with the Holy
Ghost, even from his mother's
womb. And many of the children
of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
their God "
Uvea Like Hermit
John lived the life of a hermit,
dwelling In the wilderness of Ju
dea. dressed In the skins of wild
animals and eating locusts (still
a food served In various ways by
eastern people), and wild honey,
presumably the honey made by
wild bee and stored In trees
He must have been an Imprea
slve figure and people flov-ked to
hear him and many were baptized
by him Mark tells us that he was
a. a voice crying In the wilder
ness "Prepare ye the way of the
l-orti make His paths straight "
The wilderness into which John
went covered the eastern part of
the terrlton ul Judah. 'the slop
ing clown of tli. limestone moun
tain range of central Palestine
Into a deep valley of the Jordan "
II as in tl , L.rdan that John
baptized his Mlnwers.
All John's pre n lung led to the
statement that "There Cometh
One nughtlei than I after me the
Inter.'! of whose shoes 1 am not
worthy to stoop down and un
loose '-
"I Indeed have baptized you
with water but He shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost
Then It came to pass as Mark
relates "thai Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee and was bap
tized by John in the Jordan
"AnJ straightway coming up

out of the ater. He saw the heav
ens opened, and the Spirit like a
dove descending upon Him
"And there came a voice from
heaven, saying. Thou art My be
loved Son. In whom I am well
pleased "
Why Jesus Was Baptized
Many have w ordered why
Jesus, the blameless one. shmld
have been baptized, as He had no
sins of which to repent. John him
self was troubled by this problem.
Our commentator suggests that
first It gave divine approval of
the ministry of John the BaptisL
Next, it testified to the reality of
the need of mankind of a turning;
from aln and a washing it away.
And thirdly II may have been
done to more nearly Idcntincat
Himself with humankind
Immediately after His baptiam,
Mark states that Jesus was "driv
en' Into the wilderness and thera
tempted by Satan The "Spir
it" drove Him there, says Mark.
His own heart and mind wers
"quickened" by the Holy Spirit,
"driving" Him Into the wilderness
to face temptation and come out
victorious
When Jesus came out of the
wilderness John was put in prison,
but Jesus came Into Galilee, a
beautiful part of Palestine. wher
He spent most of the time of his
teaching and performing of mir
acles Walking by the Sea of Galilee.
He saw Simon Peter and Andrew,
his brother, casting a net Into th
sea
"Come ye after Me." said Jesus,
"and I will make you to become
fishers of men " These men were
undoubtedly successful fishermen,
but they straightway forsook
their nets and followed Him "
"And when He had gone a little
farther thence. He saw James, the
son of Zebedee. and John, his
brother who also were in the ship
mending their nets " At His call
they too left their work and went
with Him
And they went to Capernaum,
and on the Sabbath Jesus "en
tered Into the synapgue ahd
taught '
And they were astonished at
His dix-trlne for He taupht as one
thai had milhorltv and not as the
scribes The years of preparation
for Hu greal mission were accom
ph.shed and He was Indeed One
having authority He was not
like a scribe who read from the
old prophets, but He preached His

lation. Honorably discharged officers,
enlisted men, WAC's and members
of the Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps, who have been discharged
since September 9, 1939, are eli
gible for the lapel button.
I had taken ,'f6 shots, I felt not one
was goiid. 1 put these last pictures
in the top of my sock and brazenly
trotted on up to the wreck.
A nice looking lieutenant ap
proached slowly. I saw he had a
camera just like mine. He asked
me very nicely if I had a permit
to take pictures. Oh, yes, but my
camera is on the blink. How about
shooting this last pack in your
camera, I asked. Finally, he agreed.
His camera worked like a song, and
1 felt as if I had discovered the
lost chord.
I shot with all the light I could
let in, and the speed was one-twenty-fifth
of a second, compara
tively slow. While, I was shoot
ing one of the pictures, I looked
over in the direction I had come
and there wrestling through the
briars came a man with a movie
camera about the size of your two

fist,-). I introduced myself, and
tlnii found that he was Hugo
Johnson, special Paramount news
cameraman, who had been sent to
Raleigh by plane and had caught
a taxi in Raleigh (fare $45).
Although terribly cold and feel
ing quite pneumnniaisli, I felt when
I left the wreck at 6:10 that I
had at least 12 good pictures.
Hack in Rale:gh at 9:30, the
AP man was waiting We develop
ed .1( picture; before we hit the
right pack. There was general re
joicing. At 11 o'clock the first
wet print wa wrapped around a
small cylinder about five inches
long and two inches in diameter.
The cylinder turned "for 11 min
utes, and at the end of that time
one of my pictures had gone to
every city in the United States
arrying the wirephoto service. A
Greensboro Daily man was there
waiting, so he carried two of the
pictures to Greensboro around mid
night. The Acme News Service had a
wirephoto machine set up at the
News and Observer building. Their
nnn came in around 11:30 and ob
tained two of the prints. Hugo
Johnson, Paramount ace, sat
around while the pictures weri be
;rg developed. He was tremen
dously interested, for he had shot
wit.V-txactly the same light, the
same typa of film, and the same
speed that I bad, as it happened.
When the pictures came out good,
he was delighted and immediately
sent his 300 fe-t of the film to
New York by plane for processing
and sound.
And so this is how most of the
wreck pictures you have seen and
will see were made.

DO YOU EXPECT YOUR
NEIGHBORS TO EDUCATE
YOUR CHILDREN?
Do you expect to let the other fellow
pay your taxes? Your neighbor, of
caurse, will pay his taxes to provide
better schools, to protect his property
rights, obtain police and fire protection
. . . to help defray the many other
services provided by city and county
governments. You too, must pay your
pro-rata part for these services.
If you do not pay city and county taxes,
penalties and costs accrue at a terrific
rate and you will eventually lose your
property. So, pay your delinquent
taxes now since you know they will
have to be paid some day!
Redeem Your
Property!
The real estate market ia
firm. Property is increas
ing in value every day.
Real estate is consider
ed one of the safer in
vestments. Investors and
speculators are buying
tax foreclosed property.
You should consult the
tax collector today about
your property on which
you have neglected to
pay taxes. Tomorrow
may be too late.
REMEMBER City and county taxes prior to
January 1st may be deducted from your state
and federal income taxes. A worthwhile saving!
