Displaced Persons
Family Arrives Here
Vladmir Filatovs, 40,
his wife, a nine year old
son, and his parents arriv
ed in Burnsville the latter
part of last week as the
first “displaced persons”
come to Yancey County
from Europe- The family,
before the war, lived in
Latvia, a small Baltic
country formed with the
treaty following World
War I.
E. L. Dillingham, county
farm agent, and the Rev-
David Swartz, Presbyter
ian minister here, met the
family as they left the ship
in New York City.
The Presbyterian Chur-;
ch of Burnsville placed a I
request for this family with
officials of the Church j
World Service Board in
New York more than 18
months ago, Rev. Swartz'
said, and it has taken that-'
much time to finally get'
them to their destination. |
The individual or organi
zation making requests for
such persons, have the
right to ask for those pco-f
pie who are educated or
trained to best suit the;
needs of the community, it 1
was explained- In this case,
a veterinarian was speci
fied. Mr. Filatovsris a grad
uate - veterinariaji. having
completed his training at
the University of Riga,
Latvia. His father is also a
university graduate and a
veterinarian- The mother
is a musician of talent.
The Latvian family sail
. ed on the troop ship S. S.
General Muir from a Ger
man port ten days before
their arrival in New York-
Thirteen hundred other
displaced persons arrived
on the ship with them.

When the German Army
invaded the Baltic coun
tries during the war, the
Filatovs lost all they had.
Their house and almost all
they owned was destroyed
by fire. After that time,
until 1946, they were pris
oners in a concentration
camp in Germany- Their
diet was bread and water!
every four hours during!
that time. After Russia
took Latvia from the Ger-j
mans they were placed in a
D. P. camp where they!
nave been since/ Although!
the food was better in this
camp, tre entire fairf.ly
was required to live in a
j room 12 by 12 feet.
Five church and govern-'
jment agencies have inves-|
jtigated and examined the
family rigidly for the past!
I four months. The examin
ers concluded that these
; displaced persons will be
loyal supporters to the
I American way of life.

FINAL Rl S FOR
MRS VIRgA TIPTON
Funeral [vices for Mrs.
Virginia Ton, 79, who
■ died Frida [light at herj
home in d Creek after (
a long ill is, were held
Sunday at p. m- in Mount
Pleasant itist Church.
The' Re E- J. Hall offi
ciated am lrial was in the
family ce tery.
Survivi are one daugh
ter, Mrs. rrett Wilson of
Swiss; o step-daughter,
Father, to my God and your God.”
Mary of Magdala went and an
nounced to this dbciplea that she
had scan die Lord and that He
had told her this.
In the evening of that same
first day of the week, even with
the doors of the -Oom bolted
where the disciples -ad met for
fear of the Jews, Jesus went in
and stood-among them and sr.id to
them, ‘'Peace be with you’” On
saying this, He showed them His
hands and His side, and so the
disciplds were thrilled with joy
over seeing their Lord.
Jesus again said to them,
“Peace he with you! J -t as irv
Father has sent ine forth, so 1 am
now sending you.”
On saying this, He breathed
upon them, and said, “Receive the
Holy Spirit! If you get forgiveness
for people’s sins, they are forgiven
them; if you iet people’s sins fas
ten upon them, they will remain
fastened upon them.”
Now Thomas, one of the Twelve,
who was called the Twin, was not
with them when Jesus came in. So
the rest of the disciples kept say
ing to him, “We have seen thc-
Lerrd.”
But Jie said to them, “Unless I
see the nail-pi int 3 in His hands-,-
and put my linger into them, and
put my hand into His side, I will
never believe it!”
DOUBTING THOMAS
CONVINCED
j Just a week later the disciples
j v.-ere its the room again and Thom
* was with them. Although the
| doors w-ere baited, Jesus came in J
aud stood among them, and said,
*'.‘e:.ee he with you!”
Then He said to Thomas, “Put
your finger here and lock at my
hands, and take your hand and
put it in my side, and stop being
an unbeliever, but be a believer!”
Thomas answered Him, “My
Lord and my God!”
-Jesus paid to him, “It is because
you have seen me, Thomas, that
