The railway officials merely passed off their questions with, "just the usual run of freights. There will be another along in thirty min utes." The industrialists knew that so many freights meant one thing a thriving section, because freight trains do not run just to satisfy the people along the tracks. The next day the three men went to the Chamber of Commerce and Inquired about the purity of the water, and the source of supply.

Dr. J. Wallace Hamilton, of St. Petersburg, Horida, minister of Pasadena, Florida's nationally-known outdoor community church preached from the pulpit of the Lake Junaluska Assembly. Running concurrently with the Sunday tb.ougli Thrusday sermon scries by Dr. Hamilton, the As sembly's first summer seminar on Church Music and Worship was scheduled to get under way here today under the direction of Dr. John Finley Williamson, of Prince ton, N. J., where he is president and founder of the Westminster Choir College, connected with Princeton University. Ministers, choirmasters, choir members and musicians from many sections were arriving today for the seminars which are an innovation in the sumer program of the Junaluska Assembly. Among early arrivals among choirmasters are John Lewis and Priestly Miller, of Nash ville. The purpose of the church and music week, according to Dr. F. S. Love, superintendent, who has cal endared the meet, is to promote a better appreciation of the place of music in church worship. Dr. Williams' courses will include Chorie speech, congregational sing ing, and choir singing. Enrollment for courses was in progress to day. "Am I ashamed of the gospel of Christ," was the specific subject chosen by Dr. Hamilton for his opening sermon. The progress of Christianity, Dr. Hamilton asserted is halted by church leaders who do not exemplify the Christian faith and belief in their daily lives, because they are afraid of the gos pel in its practical implications. "Two things," he declared, "are characteristic of all who worship God, namely, a hunger for God and a great fear that He might come and in coming change our way of living too drastically. It is a terrible thing, this Christianity. It cuts across our way of life and wc are afraid of it. We want the way of God but we want our own way too and we seek less costly ways of serving Him, through rit ualism, social service, and church organizations.

Local Dealers Expect Little More Supply Than Last Year Coal prices will Increase at least 50 cents a ton to consumers from what was paid last summer, but local dealers have not yet received enough information regarding the recent OPA increase to coal dealers and freight carriers to set a de finite price. Producers have not offered any hope of suppling more coal here lhan last year's quota, which was not sufficient to meet demands. Although there is no Federal re strictions on coal distribution now, dealers are using a voluntary ra tion system to fill orders in such a way to meet the needs of all their regular buyers as best they can With the end of the United Mine Workers strike, workers in the coal fields have gone back to work. However, the Waynesville Coal company reports receiving only five carloads of coal since the last of March a normal week's supply. "We have a long wailing list." stales Mrs. Will HalclifTo. "and are selling to people on the partial price basis, the same way i( comes to us. The price increase will be effect ive hack to May, and after we get our invoices from the producers we can adjust our accounts with our buyers. We are selling our coal straight from the freight cars." Rural areas, she stales, are getting priority on the supply now because bad roads will binder deliveries there in winter months. Most of the coal that comes here is mined in District 8, which includ ed eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, east Tennessee, and a small part of West Virginia, and a small amount is shipped from Dist 7, which is farther north. Accord ing to press releases, District 8 has been granted a 46 cents per ton price Increase, and District 7 an increase of 58 cents.
