John E Ensign was one of the features of Homecoming., Day at New Hope Presbyterian Church last Sunday. , The Rev. Mr. Ensign, now Di rector of Camps and Conferences of East Hanover Presbytery, Ricn inond, Va., was pastor of New Hope from 1948 to 1956, during which period he directed and su pervised the development of Camp New HOpe and climaxed his local ministry by leading the congrega tion of the 200-year-old church in the construction of a new $80,000 church plant to. replace the old church building.

Hm°li*lon crew from Sid Rancer's Iron & Steel Co. in Dor ■ the |ob of scrapping seven of the most heavily damaged M* «rs, while the remaining 15 were removed to Southern Shops for salvage. ■ontir# area was expected to be cleared of wreckage and debris by tomorrow The wreck occurred about 10:30 last Wednes day night and was one of the most spectacular the area has ever witnessed. Fortunately there were no injuries. Five regularly scheduled trains were delayed before the 300 feet of damaged track could be cleared, repaired and reopened 19 hours after the smash up occurred. # The 22 derailed cars were loaded two with wailbpard, three with fertilizer and 17 with leaf tobacco. No attempt was made to salvage th* sailboard, but it was said that most of tho tobacco would bo salvageable. ... The wreck was apparently caAsed by a faulty journal or "hot box." The ax!# runs through a journal on both sides where, plates of brass hold it tight on the top and bottom. The journal or box is pocked with waste and grease. A rough place in either the bress pletes or the axle can cause friction capable of burning out the peck ing, resulting in a "frozen*' axle which then breaks. Another pos sibility is improper servicing at stops along tho line. Edward Parrish of West Hillsboro, who was walking to worts at the Eno Mill a few hundred yards from the smash, said ha saw »->• blase four or five feet high coming from one of the journals. "Then the blaze died down and this one car began swaying and rocking in a fish-tail motion. Then it sort of bewod up and the first thing I knew cars were shooting out from both side*, soma leaving the track and coming to rest 20 or 30 foot from the track and others sprawling across the track. That's when I got out of ’ there," Parrish said.
