I ,1 II- / What's Right Instead Of Who’s Right Must Be Basis For Action, Deane Believes (Representative Charles B. Deane, on his return to Washing ton Friday after visiting key in dustrial and political centers of Europe said: “I've read^and heard more aggressive war talk within a few hours following my arrival in the United States than during my entire stay in Europe.” Mr. Deane, along with Mrs. Deane, flew from New York on September 27, 1951, with a joint West Coast delegation of repre sentatives of the shipping com panies and longshoremen to at tend the World Assembly for Mor al Re-Armament at Caux, Swit zerland. The Eighth District Con gressman brought these industry and labor groups together during the Japanese Peace Treaty Con ference in San Francisco. This trip was the first joint effort by man- ageinent and labor in Pacific ports to tackle the industrial conflict which has cost the West Coast 10 billion dollars in thp past fifteen years. - , ' In a report to the Resident and Speaker Rayburn, who urged the N. C. Congressman to m^e the trip, Deane stated: "At Oaux I met leaders in govemihent,' indus try, and the professions from over 70 countries who in a brief space of time gave me a'clearer picture of the world’s social,, economic and foreign problenpi^ than .1 had heretofore. vice in ttfe'Cb^rbss.^’ Mr. jOwne continued by saying that import ant as is the information obtained in Congressional hearings, he be lieves that his colleagues on each side of the aisle would find at Caux “the most significant inter national center in the world for obtaining answers as well as facts”. Mr. Deane was particular ly impressed with the first-hand evidence of answers to Commun ism and many perplexing world problems arising from it. The Congressman attended and took part in meetings for ten days that dealt with “the ideolo gical strategy for the free world.” He saw Communists change on a major scale and said this opened his eyes to a new possibility of answering effectively the sub versive strategy in the danger areas of Europe. He heard repre sentatives from Asia say that they found in Moral Re-Armament a superior ideology that would unite both East and West. British dele gates maintained that here was a force which would stabilize the United Kingdom and the British !fbmmonwdalth regardless of the outcome of the election on Octo ber 25. (Leaving Caux, Switzerland, the group travelled to the industrial Ruhr of ..Germany and there as well as in the docks of Hamburg, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Liverpool, London and Glasgow, saw evidence of an answer to Communism in the heart of Europe’s coal, steel and shipping industries. Deane stated that he went into the mines and into the docks and talked per sonally with miners and mine management, dockers and former Compunists who had settled their disputes “iby applying the prin ciple, not who’s right, but what’s right.” At Bonn, the capital of West Germany, the Congressman con ferred personally with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, the head of the German Government, and with several cabinet ministers. Congressman Deane stated that there was no question from his observations that Moral Re-Arm ament has become a major force in European affairs. “It is doing more,” he stated, “in' a practical way to answer the ideological conflicts in Europe which might lead to war, than any other force at work today.” Mr. Deane further stated that (Continued on page 4) Report Oil Cotton Ginned To Oct 1 Doubles Last Year The Bureau of the Census makes the following report on cotton ginned prior to October 1, with comparative figures of last year.

The resolution read: “Inasmuch as the President of the XJuited States, by his nomination of Gen eral , Mark Clark as official am bassador to the Papal State, Vat ican City, has flagrantly violated the principle of the separation of church and state, which is a fun damental tenet of the Presbyter ian Church, U. S. and a most vital and cherished safeguard of th^ American demoncracy: therefore, be it resolved: "1. That the Presbytery of Fay etteville place itself on record as being unequivocally opposed to the action of the President, and that notification of the Presby tery’s stand be sent to the proper authorities. i “2. That the Senators and Re presentatives i^ Congress from the State of North Carolina be ap praised of the feeling of our Pres bytery in this matter. “3. That ministers and elders of the Fayetteville Presbytery be in structed to inform local congrega tions of the dangerous direction involved in the President’s action, and the feeling of the Presll^tery in this matter. -“4. That the Presbytery of Fay etteville hereby overtures the General Assembly of the ■ Presbi'- terian Church in the United States that it express in the strongest way possible 'the unalterable op' position of our church to the a; pointment of any ambassador, ot- ficial or unofficial, to the head o. any particular church.” The Rev. Ray Dick«is of Max- ton was elected and served as moderator of the session. Dr. G. L. Hooper of Dunn was nominated moderator for the next stated session of Presbytery which will be held in the First Presby terian Church, Fayetteville, on January 22. Hoke High Loses To H^ MiUs, 13 To 6, Friday f Loss Makes Second To Cumberland Teams; Locals Without Several Players iHoke High’s Bucks w'ent to Hope Mills last Friday afternoon and lost a close football game, 13 to 6. They were never in the lead. (Both teams put up strong de fenses,, yielding only 228 yards on the ground 'and in the air, accord ing to the Fayetteville Observer.

(Hope Mills scored in the second quarter on a line play from the 20-yard line and was in front 7-0 at the half. The Bucks made their tally in the third quarter when Butler snatched an attempted handoff from a Hope Mills back and went 20 yards for the score. Benner’s attempted kick was wide and the Bucks were still behind. Hope Mills scored again in the final quarter when a 15-yard pen alty put the ball on the Raeford two yard line and a line play was good for the touchdown.

BOY SCOUTS GET REBUFF FROM PUBLIC Harvey Gobeille, chairman of the annual fund-raising cam paign for the support of the Boy Scouts in Hoke County, said yesterday that only 100 persons had responded to the appeal for funds and that these had given what amount ed to about half of the $800 quota which must be raised in the county. Gobeille laid the lack of re sponse to many people just putting it off, but any way it’s looked at, even that amount to lack of interest, nothing else. The committee didn’t ask bus iness houses for contributions and didn’t ask individuals for large ones, hoping that as many as 800 people in the county would care as much as one dol lar to have a part in the fine work done by the Boy Scouts in the county and over the country.. He said th^ he hoped an other remindeS' would bring the money in,^ and that the campaign would be extended until November 1 for this pur pose. Contributions of any size will be accepted at Israel Mann’s store, Cooper’s Super Market, Hoke and Howell’s Drug store and the Bank of Raeford. “The next time you pass one of these places, hand over a buck for the Boy Scouts. That’s all there will be to it and you’ll be helping, a good cause,’’ the chairman said.

The lollowinif article recently appearing in the Miami Herald is written about Clyde Christo pher, who has for several years spfent several months each year here, operating as a crop duster pilot. Okeechobee—Clyde Christopher is being acclaimed here in the flooded areas adjacent to Lake Okeechobee and has aptly been dubbed “the flying good Samar itan.” Christopher, a former dusting pilot, owns a small ranch near Lakeport on the west shore of Lake Okeechobee. When the flood came he bor rowed a small plane owned by Howard Drawdy and Rod Chand ler, president of the city council, to check up on his cattle. Only a small strip of hard sur face road near a general store was available for landing in the Lakeport area, but he made it. He found the surrounding coun tryside under water and most of the homes flooded. The community was isolated so Christopher brought out mail and messages to worried friends and relatives of Lakeport natives. As the water continued to rise and wash out bridges, cutting off further travel in the area, he flew in milk, bread and groceries a- long with feed for stranded cattle which had been herded onto gov ernment dikes. Commercial Fishermen had loaned cattlemen boats and motors and Christopher helped by bring ing in gasoline and other supplies. 0.

ENGINEER GRATEFUL FOR PAVING SUPPORT District Engineer Luke Powell of the State Highway Commission commented in Raeford this week that the people of the town are and have been most cooperative with the department about stay ing off sreets and roads being paved by the commission during the several days the roads must 'be closed. He said that in most instances here the public com pletely stayed off of them, while in many other places it is hard to do a good job because of the people driving on the roads when they are not in shape. 0—^ Malcolm Matheson of Duke University was a week end visi tor in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Deane Huggins.

Community Chapel Methodist church, Friday, October 26, Supper. Philippi Preabyteriam church, Friday, November 2. Shihdi Presbyterian Church, Thursday, Novemiber 8, Supper Voters Will Decide On $30,000 In Bonds Next Tues. Voters of the town of Raeford will go to the polls next Tuesday, October 30, to approve or disap prove an ordinance passed by the town board on September 24, authorizing the issuance of up to $30,0C0 water bonds of the to'wn for the purpose of providing funds for enlarging and extending the waterworks system. That, on the face of it, is what the town’s voters will be voting for. However, there is more to the situation than meets the eye. The situation is that the money has to be raised by the town in part to remove a deficit in the water department and also to fin ish work on the water system which the board ftiinks must be done. It is the opinion of many that the board will spend the money whether the voters ap prove the issue or not. and the fact remains that the water de ficit must be paid off. If the voters disapprove the is sue of the bonds it is an obvious fact that taxes in the town will have to be raised at once to take care of these items, the figure of $2.50 per $100 valuation in the town being the most often men tioned. Therefore, what it appears that the voters of the town will really be voting for is whether to cer tainly get a substantial hike in their tax rate, or to. issue the bonds and have a fair chance that the tax rate will not have to go so high to pay them off over an .extended length of time. It appears that the cheapest way out would be the approval by the voters of the proposed bond issue. 0 — Lions To Present Wild West Show Friday, Saturday The world famed Cherokee Ranch Rodeo and "Wild West Show of 'Goree, Texas will be present ed at the Raeford Ballpark on Fri day and ^turdey by the Raeford Lions Club; Performances will be held each night at 8 p. m. with a matinee on Saturday at three o’ clock- Proceeds from the rodeo will be used by the Lions club to add to their projects to further equip the Hoke County High School band with uniforms.
