The church having been Hr ganized in the old Methodist . lotestant *Church building on West Church Street on the third Sunday in June, 1893- At the in stitution of the church the pres bytery was formed by Rev. T. Blight of Shelby, Rev". Noah II. Moss and deacons and members of Baptist churches near Cherry ville, including Waco, Mount Zi on and Shady Grove.. There were twenty-four charter members, eight men and sixteen women. Strange to say there was opposi tion to the orgazniation by mem bers of other nearby churches. It was contended that there was no held for another church it being remembered that there were only about 300 people at Cherryville at tfie time. Of the twenty-four members forming the organization only five ‘are liv^Tur and only two yet members of”tbc church. The olh er three living in other towns now. The present clerk, the wri ter of this story, and two other members of the church were al so present at the time of the or ganization. Trie foundation work and the plans for the organization of the church were done <by Rev. T Bright, a prominent minister of Shelby, N. C., but the real work in the establishing the Baptist cause and the building of the first church were in the hands of Rev. G. Milton Webb, father of United States Judge E. Yates Webb. He was the most deter mined, relentless orthodox preacher in this part of the state and did wonders in . the firmly establishing the cause in this town and community. lie had just organized another church nearby, Webb’s Chapel. That church was struck by lightning and burned last Sunday night. The membership of the church has ranged from 24 to a little ov'er 600, although the church has received into its fold in the fifty years a total of 1,703. It should be noted that we lost quite a number of our members in the organization of the Second Bap tist church here and Anthony Grove Baptist church near here. Ten pastors lhav’e served the church in the following order: Revs. T. Bright of Shelby, G. Milton Webb of Shelby, j). F. Putnam (two pastorates), CJW. Payseur, C. T. Tew, G. W. Rol lins, C. M. Robinson, ,7. ,T. Reach. David E. Bobbitt and E. S. El lio^ These served for periods ranging from one year to over ’■elve years. D. F. Putnam ser ^ • more than twelve years and | the builder of the present /eh building at a cost of above .,0,000.00 when fully completed and equipped. The first church was built by the aid of Rev. G.

SAFER PLACE * i Co-operation of Municipal and State highway traffic experts in' making the highways of Amer iea more safe was urged today by Walter V. Hosier, Special Agent for the State of North Carolina for the National Com mittee for the Conservation of Manpower in War Industries who was a visitor_m Cherryville 'Piles day. In discussing (lie number of automobile accidents in which workers engaged in cantonement construction, shipyards, airfields and around industrial centers, as well as tl ose employees engaged in war production were involved, Mr. Hosier declared that while the Government h«d developed a volunteer plan among industrial safety and health experts in eli minating health and sahty haz aids in industry, there was much i<> lie done in keening the work safe after working hours. “Great stress is. being laid on invention of on-the-job acei dents, but it is equally impor tant to protect the workman af ter hours from disabling acci dents” he said. “Just, as mucIT production will be lost to the nation if a machin ist, is hurt in an automobile acci dent as if he were hurt at his lathe or bench. “Plans are being made to tie v'elope traffic control systems around factories engaged in WAR production, particularly a* tlie time when one shift of work ers is leaving for the day and another shift is going on. It is at this time when one group of workers are anxious to get home, and the other group are anxious o get to work that many of these acc'deuts occur “Conditions around construe till sites, r i yards and large in.In-trial pi nits hav-, been oar t'C.ulary Uad. In man, instanc s the workers .ve a considerable distance and, as the highways a rourd these p!.. its and construc tion jobs have not been con structed for heavy traffic, con gestion inevitably follows. Work ers not only become injured, but become less efficient through long d#la.vs in traffic snarls. They are more apt to take chances in ail attempt to 'get to and from work promptly.” This condition does not exist around Cherryville and in Gas toii County where a great deal ‘of activity in the wav effort is going along, but, while traffic is restricted because of gasoline shortages and tire rationing, there are still entirely too many traf fic accidents that involve those men and women who are so badly needed in war work. While we have bad a big reduction in high way accidents in the nation, it has not been reduced in campari son with the reduction of traffic. ETftrefore, we are not getting very far with our problem of traffic. Mr. Hosier pointed out that the African Campaign cost us in killed, wounded and missing in action 200 men for each day of the campaign, in the .same time over twenty six tliousmid persons per (lav were being Killed and in-' trued by accidents in America. l,vor every 200 who are killed and, injured on the fighting front or' or there, over 2(5,(MM* tire killed and injured on the home front over here. We eannot produce goods for the fighting men over, there if we are being killed and injured over here. Do till in your power to keep well and safe and to stay on the .job, every minute possible until this war has ended. Lost hours from, accidents in America last year cost .America | Millions of dollars, to say nothing of the failure to construct War' materials front these accidents, I Men at home and off the job can't produce, this is no time to stay away from the job, ,<fineri , ea needs your every minute. Mr. Hosier is no stranger to; Cherryville, he Inis spoken here ill our .Schools on two occassiolis and has given safety denionstra-I lions on our streets which brought excellent results with our chil dren and people. We are glad ttiat Mr. Hosier is doing his part In winning this war by serving the National Committee for the ( onservation of Manpower in War Industries. Mrs. R. I.
