J The 49 year old minister gradu ated at Union Theological Sem inary Richmond, Va and has a wife and two children. They will make their home at the Presby tery's manse in Wilmington. Rev.

The long delayed Referendum Bill was introduced in the Senate last week by Senator Chas. G.

The bill is the one promised by candidates for Governor in the campaign in the 3 wing of last year and recommen ed by Governor Cherry in his Inaugural Address, and Is urged by the Allied Church League, of North Carolina, and backed by all leading Churches of the State.

Alter 'fightine for two months as the only heavy artillery in nlhe British First Army, it Friends of Major Charles Leon ard Peirce, 26, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Hicks Peirce, of warsaw, will regret to learn that there is still no encouraging news of the whereabouts of Major reirce wno nas oeen missing in action since Sept 30, 1944.

It is reported that he was piloting uie putne mat was Known to nave gone down. this responsibility. The matter was worked out in the joint committee of Agriculture on this basis: "The farm census is a very necessary project and must be continued. The county commissioners in any county -may designate Bomeonrt otner tnan tne tax listers to take the farm census at the time of Using taxes, and the State will pay 10 cents per farm census re port, in the future." .

Another rihmm KIT! is pending which in the writers opinion ought to be killed. This cm would grant divorce nffer a certain period of insanity, and al low tne otner party to remarry. All these things show that with all the State's progress and ad vances for a greater and better State, yet individuals and groups and even law makers can and do err occasionally. This brings to our minds that we are none per fect - but the fact still remains that we can have a desire to press forward toward the perfect life prepared for us in the life to come. Changes are contained in a bill that would extend the unemploy ment compensation to employers of one or more employees, where as, the law now applies to eight or more. In the committee one of the sponsors of the measure stated that he knew of certain "Selfish interests who are opposed to the bill," but he did not say anything about knowing anything about any "selfish interests" who might be favoring the bill. There are two sides to every question and it is very tempting for all of us to take the side that seems to be in our favor. We are human of course but we should always try to take the right rather than a selfish course in life. There is a bill to allow color to be added to oleomargarine and butter substitutes.
