FRIDAY, ArRTL 8, 1955 Building Continues To Boom The Federal Reserve Board re cently reported more families plan to acquire new homes, or make im provements, this, year, than in any past year. This report comes in a . year when many experts had thought the end '' of the bu ild ing boom might be seen. However, as the result of the continuing boom in construction, and in plans of ,so many Americans to build, it is now estimated that a new high peak of $56,000,000,000 in construction might be reached this year. . ';, , In addition to home-building, out lays for 'plants, office buildings, schools and highways have been heavy and this construction is con tinuing to boom along with home construction. : Thus, it appears highly doubtful that 1955 will see the end of the building boom. It is possible 1955 Win be a record construction year, exceeding the boom years of 1953 and 1954. . This continuing construction boom is one of the reasons for op timism in the economy. Coming at the same time of the automobile sales boom, it gives the economy a boost which will probably be felt throughout 1955. The general feel ing in economic circles now is that, although the present business boom may taper off somewhat in the lat ter half of this year, business will be good throughout 1955, and well into 1950. ' attack, Beterson explained that all of the 100 prime targets would be evacuated immediately. He said 1 1 that within two years, the warning radar line, to be built in the far north of Canada,, would give the United States from four to six hours advance notice, rather than only two or three hours' notice. This would hold true if an enemy attack came over Canada, and would not apply if an enemy at tack followed the path of the jet streams, and came in over the oceans. If the attacks came from over the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans, the radar network which is being re lied upon to give warning radar- equipped aircraft could give sev eral hours' notice, but not neces sarily four to six hours' notice. . These words from Peterson are encouraging but all Americans should realize that the warning system is not infallible. One need not go back further fallible. It is just possiblo that Russian planes, or even submarines; could simul taneously attack several American targets and that the American peo ple would be given no warning. For this reason, every protective measure should be taken at this time, so that if only a few minutes were available before an attack, life-saving measures could be taken in time. While the radar picket lines are impressive, they are not infallible and the' United States might not necessarily have the grace of sev eral hours' warning before atom or hydrogen bombs drop on U. S. tar gets in any new war. BIBLE CLASS MEETS About Air Raid Warnings The year is now about ready to begin, what with baseball opening in the middle of April. The Susana Wesley Bible .Class held its regular monthly meeting with nine members present at the home of Mrs. Steve Perry, March 31st. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Ehner Banks, by singing "In the Cross Of Christ I Glory." Several read ings on the cross were given by Mrs. W. E. Dail. Mrs. Isaac Butt, Mrs. Alice Haskett Mrs. Elmer Banks.' The hymns, "Near the Cross" and "The Old Rugged Cross" were sung. ' Reports were given by Mrs. Dee Banks on financial standing. Mrs. W. O. Hunter gave a report, con cerning the sick committee. ' Mrs. Dee Banks conducted ah, in teresting Bible contest with Mrs. W. E. Daii answering most ques tions. Mrs. Steve Perry, hostess, served delicious refreshments which were enjoyed by all. There should be few complaints about 1955 business. It has been better than the forecasters predicted. There is a chance that the world will see the first use of tactical atomic weapons in a few weeks. It is once again about time for the graduation orators to begin oil ing up their horns. An honest error may be a boner but is usually is not as stupid as the snorting which greets it.

Federal Civil- Defense Admini strator Val Peterson said recently the first warning of an enemy at tack would set off the biggest movement of people in the history of the tJnited States. He revealed that some 100 cities, chief target cities in the United States, would be simultaneously evacuated. In other words, instead of trying to guess which cities were due for I rtX-XM:WXX-X:M r.

ETERNAL LIFE International Sunday School Lesson for April 10, 1955. Memory Selection: "I am the resurrection, and the life: . he "that believeth in me, though he ' were dead, yet shall he live; .and who soever liveth and believeth .in rae shall never die." John 11:25-20. Lesson Text: I Corinthians 15:3-10, 53-58. Man, in every age, has , been baffled by the mystery qf death, Years ago. Tennyson wrote: -"Thou wilt not leave us in the dust: Thou madest man, he knows not why; He thinks he was not made to die: And thou hast made him: that art just." In the scripture, given for our lesson this week, the Apostle Paul is giving the basic essentials of his preaching. His messages were not based on speculation, nor on ideas, the truth of which is so probable that they offer a good basis for logical reasoning, nor on the argu ment that conceptions so beautiful ought to be true and, therefore must be true. Paul's preaching was based on facts, on the revelation of truth in actual history. Christ died' and .rose again, not in the imagination of pious men, hut in their sight, in their actual experience. And, in the power of this mighty fact, his followers have gone out to tell the good news 'to a world which needs salvation and is finding it in the gospel of the resurrection., The Christian hope has its basis' in fact. , It took the fact of the resurree- tion of Jesus from the tomb to give that "something more" required to make the disciples into apostles flamihg witnesses for their Lord A fter-jtheir-contact with the risen Christ, they went forth as wit nesses of the resurrection, with the power of the risen Christ manifest ed in their lives. Henry St. George Tucker, in The Living Qhurch, declares: "This is the true and abiding meaning of Easter. Tt is God revealing ,his Son in us as he did in St. Paul. We are not complete Christians un til w have experienced within our selves that resurrection of hope, courage, and power which comes from contact with the living Christ. It is not an experience that we can create for ourselves. "Easter tells us that Christ is present in our hearts. The promise is 'Seek and ye shall find!' For those who have responded to the Easter invitation and found Christ, this world is no longer a vale of despair. St. Paul's words are true for them: 'If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away: hehold, all things nre become new.' ...... "What the world needs today is a body of Christian men and women who have had "this Easter experi ence. Shall we not then, at this Easter season, pray that Christ will come to us, saying: 'All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel, the good news of the saving power of God through Christ, to every creature'?" In I Cor. 15:50-58; Paul attempts to describe the transformation of the living and the dead that will take place on the great day of the Lord when the trumpet will sound.' Evidently, he thought that the day might come even in his .lifetime. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman has declar ed: "There have been many dis cussions about the nature of the spiritual body, the general out come of which is, as far as Chris tians are concerned, that its pres ence in the natural body is the sole rational explanation of human life's mysteries. ' Biologists and phy sicians assume its existence and at tribute to it mental causation and the healing of. certain diseases. - "Indeed, Gaskill's work on the Involuntary Nervous System argues that there is an intimate associa tion between the two 'bodies'. In the transformation which death ef fects, God gives the soul a ,orm which pleases him, and adjusts hu man personality to its new envir onment." . v . Dr. Lyman Abbott gives the fol lowing confession of his faith: "I believe that death and resurrection' are synonomouq, .that death js'the dropping of .the body from the spir it, ' .that resurrection is the up swinging of the spirit from the body; and I .think of my friends and companions, Mt&aXiWgjp the, grave waiting for a future resur- El : (WlTUWS-. HUilVi vr is . J The bell rings, and its message is a clar ion call across the countryside. Beneath it, white lillies touched by the sunlight' look upward toward a cloudless sky. This is Easter . . . the golden day the day of promise and joy. This is the time when God proffers the great gift of' .eternal life ... when he shows, in the les son of the Tomb . . . that there is no death. There is no more joyous occasion in the Church than Easter. Against the setting of Spring, it touches the land with beauty, bringing a new upsurgence of hope, thrill ing the young, comforting the old. Easter it the time to rededicate your faith ... to listen again to a wonderful promise ... to receive again a glorious gift. Start attend-, ing Church regularly' by beginning at .Easter.
