The many beautiful flowers show ed the high esteem in which the deceased was held by her many friends. Following is the beautiful tri bute paid to her by her pastor, the Rev. Jack H. Cooke: In the beauty of these lovely flowers we have assembled to pay this loving tribute to our ascend ed sister, Mrs. Callie Beam. She was born on June 28. 1.366 and lived with Cod until January 16, 1956, at which time sue very sweetly moved from the house I God gave her to live in here to the house He prepared for her there. During her 89 years, 6 months, and 18 days here, she ex perienced some very wonderful things. On January 1, 1884 her tiov,- year begun by moving to Cherryville. On June 11, 1885 she married Charles Pinkney Beam, In which union were horn three children: Floyd (deceased): Mer ton of Charlotte: and Mrs. Grace Crocker of the home. There are five grand-children and four great grand-children. Besides these normal iov« of a young couple very much in love and rearing children, there was another glory in her life. She knew Whom sh ebelieved, was persuaded that He was able to keep that which she committed unto Him. His loving kindness and tender mercies were very real to her. His guilding hand along the wav of her pilgrimage was an ac cepted fact in her trust. His Grace was kindled ip her heart and the Name of Jesus became to her the “Lily of the Valley”, The Rose of Sharon”, “The Balm in Gilead”, “The Fairest of Ten Thousand”, “The Bright and Morning Star”, “The Altogether Lovely” . . . “Wonderful”. She :oined The First Methodist church or Anril 27, 1902: and was the President of the first Missionary Society. Very few people ever know as a pastor so manv servents of God did our ascended sister. The church had but two pastors, Gant and Clegg, before she join ed. Ingle heard her pledge her vows to God as she joined this church. From that day until now sh0 was a great inspiration to her pastors, some of whom greet ed her upon arrival in heaven night before last. If eaoh of them could sneak you would hear Spir it filled testimonies about her from- Crowder, Tabor, York, Swafford, Wi'son, Usry, Forten herc, Moser, Mlock. Ratledee, Mc Farland, Groce, Kirk, Willis, Wil lianison, Nifonpr, Nowton, Bar nette, Spencer and Kelly. More insight into this great «oui may be seen as one hears her ioin her pastor ouoting by mem ory as he reads the Word of God : or when the pastor had finished praying ■ - • bear her begin a soul stirring praver in which she always praised God for Jesus, for her children, for her church, pas tor and community: or listen in as she sings an old hymn or re ligious song from out of the pass that moves the listener to a con sciousness of the closeness of the Almighty, and bnng a fearful awe over the hearts of those pre You who loved her most . . . God’s promises are for you! God will keen His Word. You must be lieve. have faith, trust God . . . lot not your heart be troubled . . . neither let it be afraid . . . Nothing in, all the world can sep arate you from the Communion of the Saints . . . for you belong to Christ the Overcomer ... to whom she also belonged. May God comfort you this day. Amen.

Congressman Woodrow VI, Jon es of the 11th North Carolina District announced today from Washington that the Park Service would not levy a toll for the use o fthe Blue Ridge Parkway dur ing 1956. Congressman Kirwan, Chairman of bhe Subcommittee or. Interior matters of the House Appropriations Committee recom mended that no charge be made for the use of the Parkway dur ing 1956, and the Park Service agreed to the suggestion. The Park Service had proposed that a fee of $1.00 per person be lev ied for the use of the Parkway during the 1956 season. The North Carolina Delegation in Congress opposed such a charge last year, and was suc cessful in getting the Park Ser vice to rescind the order. By working with the Appropriations Committee, the Delegation was able to stop the matter this year before any order was issued. Woodrow W. Jones Will Not Seek Re-Election In 56 Congressman Woodrow W. Jon es announces his decision not. to seek re-election to the Congress from the 11th District of the United States. Senator Jones’ statement to the press is as follows: Afte" many months of earnest eonsih ration, I have reluctantly decided not to seek re-election to the Congress of the Uni*vd Stat es. It is not easy to arrive at a decision to leave public service, but I feel compelled to <:o so for personal and business reasons. During my Congressional ser vice, it has been necessary for .me to be away from my family for considerable periods of time. Due to the fact that I have two young sons, ages 13 and 15, in school at Rutherfordton, it has not been practical for me to have my family with me in Washing ton during the sessions of Con gress. Since the school terms do not coincide with these sessions, Mrs. Jones and I have not felt it wise to transfer our boys back and forth between the schools of Rutherford County and Washing ton. Then too, it has been our de sire that they be reared and ed ucated in North Carolina. As is known throughout my District, I am an Attorney at Law. For some time now, I have had the desire to return to pri vate practice. After weighing all factors involved, I feel that now is the proper time for me to do so. However, in my return to private life, I shall always main tain an active and vigorous in terest in public affairs. As I have said this has been | no easy decision for me to make. However, the 11th District has many able men who can represent our people with honor and dis tinction in the Congress. I am making mV decision known in am ple time for the people of the District to select such a man. I [ shall always be grateful to 1 the people of the 11th Congres-j “irmal District for the honor they j have bestowed upon me in per- , mitting me to represent them in j the Congress.

Mrs. Quickel closed the door and went to the telephone and called the Funeral Home. Mr. Foster, the only one in the office upon receiving the call walked out the door without clos ing the safe and rushed down to the Quickel home, to give his as sistance. Mrs. Quickel went out the back door to meet Mr. Fos ter at the front and show him where the apparently sick man was, and he had disappeared and no one was there. Mr. Foster proceeded to see if he and Mrs. Quickel could find him, and after searching diligently for some time were unable to locate anyone, Foster returned to the office and proceeded with his work. Eater in the afternoon, when the book-keeper Foster began to check up he discovered the miss ing money The connection was made after Florida officers called the offi cers here.
