GRACE METHODIST
CHURCH NEWS
A special week of activities just
for youth and youth and adult
workers began at Grace Metho
dist church Sunday evening. The
group went just out of town to
the lovely private lake of R. L.
Lewis for a picnic supper and a
Galilean-type worship service.
The script for the service was
written by Coy Lee Brown, Jr.,
and directed by Libby Camp, re
tiring chairman of Christian
faith. The service began with
scriptural reading and old time
spiritual singing on the north
bank of the lakip,
As a spirit of reverence
came over the group, the histori
an for the program read the his
tory of Jesus calling the first dis
ciples by the sea of Galilee, and
how that he still calls young and
brave leaders who will answer
his Qall. As the historian’s voice
died away, the group’s attention
was caught by a small boat com
ing across the lake in their direc
tion. In the boat were four boys
who represented the two sets of
brothers, James and John, An
drew and Peter, whom Jesus had
called to be his disciples while
thtey were fishing by the Sea of
Galilee. As the group listened
they heard the boys discussing
things it was imagined that the
disciples discussed after their
Lord had been taken from them.
Title of the service was "We Re
call” and appropriate scriptures
were used. It helped the Grace
youth to also recall some of the
great promises and teachings of
not only the disciples’ Lord but
the Lord of all who would Wear
and answer His call. The group
returned for the evening service
at 7:30 at the church and an hour
of fellowship.
Monday began the first night
of youth activities at Grace Me
thodist. Other than announce
ments and a short business ses
sion, the meeting was devoted to
recreation. The program led by
Doug Salley, city recreation di
rector, was instructional and en
tertaining.
On Tuesday night, Mr. Brown
opened the study course which is
to be conducted through Thurs
day night. He was scheduled to
discuss three chapters of the

was evidenced and so many
questions directed to the study,
only one chapter was completed.

death and resurrection.

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
309 N. Alleghaney Avte.,
Odessa, Texas
July 22, 1955
Dear Editor;
As an American citizen, observ
ing the problem between Employ,
er and Labor, I write you, one
newspaper in — at the least —
leach town or city in the United
States having a population of
5,000 or over, making this sug
gestion:
Strikes tie up street cars, bus
lines, railways, telephones, ship
ping lines, airways, automobile
and steel industries, generally in
commoding and distressing the
nation. Striktes are government
by force of arms; but the Ameri-,
can way is government by law.
Under our Constitution, men
have freedom of contract: they
have the right to possess and use
property freely, without interfer
ence from others; they have the
right to establish and carry on
business in their own way, em
ploying others to help them, free
ly, by contract, as they may de
sire and be able. And the public
have the right to use their tele
phones, to travel on their rail
ways, bus lines, and airways,
without interference; and they
have the right to buy their steel
and other commodities without
interference. But it has come to
pass that the Unions have tied up
a railway system, and a tele
phone system, for 60 days over
several states with numerous acts
of destructive sabotage; they
threaten automobile and steel in
dustries that supply the nation;
they stop ocean navigation. Five
years ago, after 100 years of cir
culation, under the demands of
a Union, the New York Sun dis
continued. This ytear the Brook
lyn, New York, Eagle, also over
100 years old, because of a strike
called against it by the New York
Newspaper Guild, suspended per
manently. There is always a cons
tant rash of strikes ovier the na
tion.
Accordingly, this is the sugges
tion:
Next year is election year. All
members of the House of Repre
sentatives of Congress and part
of the Senate will ble elected.
State officials, Governors and le
gislators will be elected. You, an
Editor in your locality, will have
a touch with these candidates, as
to who is nominated, and who
shall be elected, both for Fedteral
and for State offices. In your lo
cality. therefore, if you will earn
estly cooperate to try to get each
candidate to promise in writing
to enact labor laws and to en
| forcte them when enacted, this,
being in 'conjunction with others
all over the United States, might
get results. As to the enforce
ment of the laws when enacted,
any official, as a Governor, who
will not enforce the laws of thte
State with all the power of the
State would be an unfaithful of
ficial who could be replaced at
the next election.
Then, let laws be made bring
ing Labor undfer the Anti-Trust
laws.
Let strikes and picketing be
made unlawful.
For differences between em
ployer and employee, let Courts
of Adjustment be created in
every State, especially charged to
hear complaints, with evidence,
and to give judgments enforcible
by injunction and the full power
of the State with appeal to the
Supreme Court of the State.
Let Federal Unions be forbid
den, and require Unions to be
citizens (i. e. corporations) of
each State, as is every man, sub
ject to thb laws of the State, the
relations of employer and em
ployee being a domestic matter
enforcible as are other domestic
problems of the citizen.
Let the Amterican Bar Associa
tion be requested to draft a sys
tem of laws that will outlaw
strikes and picketing, bring La
bor Unions under the Anti-Trust
laws, and provide for special
Courts of Adjustment in each
State to hear all complaints and
give enforcible judgments.
To stop strikes as an unlawful
conspiracy, and picketing as an
unlawful interference with pro
perty rights is essential.
If you will make this your
cause in your locality, as an A
marican citizen contending for
American rights, it is believted we
can choose officials pledged to
enact and to enforce the neces
sary laws by Congress and in our
States.
This is as much for the benefit
of Labor as to help the employter.
It puts all under law, and stops
intimidation and sabotage. And it
protects the public^. «
Urgently, for our Country as a
whole,
CHAS. W. RANKIN
Your word may be your bond,
but it won’t buy the groceries af
ter you retirte. You’ll need United
States Savings Bonds for that.
