i;i2li;vsVi:::L:::s Speeding convictions were secured against 4,118 Tar Heel drivers in May the Motor Vehicles Department re ports in a regular monthly- summary of moving violations. t Simple speeding (over 55 mph)' does not require revocation of driving priv! ileges for the first offense nor does reckless driving which held second place in the report with 1,020 con victions.

America, its destiny always linked closely to the faith of its people, stands today more than ever a nation of churches, old and new. 4 Roliirinnn shrines mark off the broad course of its history from Old Virginia's rustic parish churches and New England's venerable meeting houses to San Miguel in Santa Fe, N. M., still lifting its scarred walls despite more than three centuries of Very Few Weevil Found Zn Cotton According to R. M.

Church construction is boom ing. Last year religious edifices val ued at $472,000,000 were started. This year churches are going up at a rec ord $500,000,000 rate. . lviusi in Virginia Most churches antedating 1709 and still standing, at least in part, are found in Virginia. Some also sur vive in Pennsylvania, Maryland, a few : other eastern states and at least two in New Mexico. The oldest is probably San Miguel. Its history reaches back to the early 17th century possibly further. Time has altered its countenance. Five foot thick walls remain, but its roof has been replaced and its storm-wrecked . tower remodeled. . Truer to original design is the mis sion church at Acoma, N. M., one of the best examples of two-towered adobe architecture. Its beginning also j is lost in the past but some histor ians think it second only to San Mi guel in antiquity. . . In Virginia, St Luke's near Smith field (1632) appears the oldest build ing of English style in the country. Hardly less ancient is the ivy-mantled tower at Jamestown, a monument to the first permanent British settle ment - .... . Only one New England church now stands as a 17th century relic Ship Meeting House at Hingham, Mass. (1681), a wooden building surmount ed by a truncated pyramid roof. It lays claim to being the "oldest build ing in the United. States used con tinuously for public worship." . Old Friends' Meeting House Friends' Meeting House near Eas ton (1684) goes back further than any other Maryland church. Some edi fices that have also seen 250 years pass are St. George's Accomac Coun ty, Va.; Merchant's Hope, Prince George County, Va.; Gloria Dei,. Phil adelphia; N o r r i t o n Presbyterian, Montgomery County, Pa.; and Sleepy Hollow Dutch Reformed, Tarrytown, N. Y. - History has bestowed fame on sev eral early buildings, not, however, among the verv oldest. The signal lanterns for Paul Revere were dis played on Old North Church, Boston, (erected ' 1723). Touro Synagogue, - jfeipport, R. I., (It59), the oldest Jew ish house of worship in the United States, cherishes an intimate letter from George Washington ("happily the Government of the United States ... gives to bigotry no sanction"). St. John's in Richmond, Va., (1741) provides a living link with the Na tion's Founding Fathers. There Pat- rick Henry proclaimed "Give me liber ty or give me death'' and there Wash ington, George Mason, Thomas . Jef ferson, and Richard Henry Lee join ed in public meetings. The founding of the Franciscan mis sions, partly restored today, parallel ed much of the early development of California. The last San Francisco de Solano was established just north of San Francisco Bay in 1823. But even when Father Junipero Serra built the first San Diego de Alcala in 1769, San Miguel in the Southwest's "City of the Holy Faith" had already entered its second century.
