WiMiam Fuibright, of the Senate Banking and Curren cy Committee that there is a dan ger of excessive speculation in the stock market .at this time. Ful bright recently said he felt that stock prices were just now begin ning to move into the-excessively ppculative- atmosphere. i Godfrey's Firings ' Arthur Godfrey, who recently, fired six singers and three writers from his radio and television shows, lias stirred upon another barrage of criticism because of hid action. Last year, when he fired a male singer, the critics ' promptly at tacked Godfrey for being tyranni cal. . . While we do not think the mat ter is of any great importance, since it is strictly one concerning show business, we do think, how ever,;, that Godfrey has the right to select the talent for his shows and dismiss performers as has any one else. The fact that Godfrey has be come so nationally famous and that he has made many of his former performers famous, does ' not alter the fact that every show needs new talent from time to time. Godfrey keeps 'his troupe together . longer .than most comedians, and there fore, he finds himself subject to recrimination when he finally de cides to- make changes. And there is no denying he fact that he has made stars of many of his perform ,ers. ,"" , t: ; ' fv For fhat, the performers -those released and those still on tha God frey show-should be thankful. We. know nothing of the methods used by Mr. Godfrey in releasing performers, and will not go into that here. We do say that every time to time, and Godfrey is a good enough showman to know as much. , ("."" : , . The Swimming Season v t -NiiVi ;v '." ' '.. -..'v-:"6 As the swimming season is ap proaching; we remind reader that there, are several rules which save lives ajb the beach or in other swim ming areas each season. Follow them and lives lost annually in the .Perquimans County area may be spared in 1955. The best way to be alive at the end : of the ; swimming -season,' if one is not an exceptional swimmer, is to adhere to the following rules: l.'Do not swim alone in deep or treacherous waters, or when help is not nearby for an emergency, even if you are a good swimmer. .- ,2. Whenever possible, swim where lifeguards are on duty. , '3. Do not swim! immediately af ter eating, or when exhausted. 4. If you ride in boats, memorize a rescue procedure, and always car ry with you a me-preserver-seav, o' something to keep you - afloat Moreover, stay with your boat if it is upset, since it is easy to identi fy and will float when overturned. Women and the Home A recent survey among 627 girls in various women's colleges show-i ed that the major preoccupation of a large majority was the question of marriage and a ' home of their m. Mrs. Jane Berry, of Hunter Col lege, New York, told the National ried before- they finished college. About twenty-five per cent plan ned to - go into graduate stud?. And, even though a large majori ty of the girls put -marriage first, it wag also found that a majority planned to work after-completing college.' , Thus it seems that family life in the United States will remain much the same despite activities of a small number of career women. This is only as it should be, since studies ' by 'psychiatrists ' indicate that women are .happier caring for their families and carrying on nor mal home 'life 'than they are com peting in the' world oi business, as their, primary activity; , UILD MEETS -': The Wesleyan Service Guild met on Tuesday night , with Mrs. John Decker.

Following the assassination of Amaziah, .King of Judah, by his own' army, his son, Utziah, a lad of only sixteen, became king, ap parently by the popular acclaim of the people: ',,c The name of this boy. and also that 'of his 'mother Is significant Uzsiah, in the Hebrew, means "strength of Jehovah,! ,and HecoO iah, his mother's name, means "Je hovah isble." It is likely , that UzziaKowed as much' to his mother as to his father In the way of god ly training and good home influ ence, . . Under -the leadership f King Uzziah, Judah attained its great est heights of material prosperi ty. Immediately, he brought into subjugation the nearby Philistines, the Ammonites, and several other ancient enemies of his people. He extended and strengthened the de fenses of Jerusalem and recruited and equipped a large army... s ; . Loving i things agricultural, he encouraged farming and the rais ing of cattle. For more than fifty years,, practically everything he undertook was crowned with, out standing success. Buti ; in the midst of apparent prosperity, di saster struck. . . A careful look into the record. in II Chronicles 26. reveals the an- swer. l There we. have the secret of Uzziah's early success and there, also, we have the reason fr his later downfall. ' There are two significant sentences which we may take from the scriptural record of this young king's life which should act as an inspiration, and a warn ing, to every young person today.: The first, "And he set himself to seek God . . . " and, "as long as hi? sought Jehovah. God made him to prosper." But the second readst ''But when he was strong , w "i (het went into the temple of the LorJ to burn incense upon the' altar of incense." rv The sin here was not in burning incense unto the Lord, but, In presuming to take, upon himsdlf the priestly office. Under the guidance of the pro phet of God, Zechariah, the young king sought to do everything that was right in the eyes of God. As a natural outcome of this sincere and earnest effort, success was the re ward and his kingdom prospered. He was regarded as a great ruler throughout the" neighboring king doms : and, as so often happens, Uzziah forgot the source of his sue- cess, and became very proud and strong in his own self-conceit. How easy it is to see in the story of this king of Judah a picture of many modern people of today. As long as they travel on the highway of ife and the way is rather diffi cult and hard., they rely upon God's guidance and protecting power, Then, having overcome the diffi culties, through ,-hm help, they ar rive at the place in life where the way is smoother and the traveling more easy. Then they forget God and determine to live .from then on as they please, no longer relying upon him for guidance or following in the paths directed by .him. So Successful had Uzziah been in-erecting buildings and training solmers that he thought he was en titled to rule over everything, even things moral and religious. No longer did he,' think, he needed the prayers of the priest In the tem ple he considered himself 'fuHy competent to burn., hip own incense , and say his own .prayers. This, he proceeded to do, " He went into the Temple, ad vanced toward, the. Holy ,of Holies, where. only the priests were sup posed to go, and proceeded to offer incense on the golden altar, which stood before the' veil 'that shroud ed th inner chamber. The priest, Azariah," on entering the Temple and finding liim there, was shocked and. surprised. ' IJvan. though Uz ziah was king, Azpriah just could not stand by and see him desecrate the Lord's, house. ; So he,', and eighty . other . priests.,, rushed into the sanctuary to restrain the king, but Uzziah would not be restrained. Uzziah's punishment was swift, and sure. . His; anger, which flared at the priests who dared protest against his conduct, ' had hardly subsided when' white spots of lep (Contuined on Page Seven?
