In his first news eonferem-c at ter being elected m xlerator of the l(Mth General Assembly. Dr Felix B. Gear of Decatur ri'eelar ed: “If you can't jum|> 2T» feet, there’s no use to try to jump ion feet.” Among the recommendations scheduled for Assembly action today is one that could lead to union with the Reformed Church in America. The Joint Committee of Twenty-four report is asking for study of the practical .no Mems involved in union with the Reformed Church in America In commenting on the lag in membership gains during ;h" past decade. Dr. Gear said it is quite possible the denomination has fallen into complacency. Asked whether he favored a proposal to eliminate racial pres byteries, the church leader said he felt that no church could tie content with such a system. Presently all Negro churches in South'Carolina and Mississippi and most in Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia are in racial presby teries.'. On other matters.

GARDEN TIME me gaidner instate college The temperature has been in the eighties for three days in our neighborhood so we should in* able to figure that the hack of a rather hrutal winter and spring has r>cen broken. It may be a good time to assess eold damage to plants. IVa< hes. |w»ars and nectarines were billed in the Raleigh area before the Easter freeze. Com mercially. the pesch picture is very dark for the Sandhills of North Carolina and the Piedmont of South Carolina. I hope our Piedmont poach growers fare better. Strawberries a n d blueberries have been hurt east and south of Raleigh. In the Raleigh area, ear ly blossoms wee killed on straw berry plants iwhieh is usually the easel but a good crop is in dicated. Piedmont rod mountain lead ers. who hav«* peachoc. bluchcr-! lies or strawberries, should plan to give the plants extra good care and protection from insect j and disease pests. Luckily, there was no hark splitting on azaleas due to severe cold. Open blossoms were in jured but enough buds escaped to make a good show They are beautiful now. New growth on ligustrum was killed but this is of no import ance tv'caus.1 the plants will over come the injury The same is true for hydrangeas.

Goar, professor of theology and d< an of instruction at Colum -i hia Theological Seminary in De- 1 catur, Ga.. was elected Thursday night as moderator of the HMth General Assembly of the Presby terian Church in the U. S. He won out ovei three other nominees. Dr. E. II Hamilton of Decatur. Ga.. Dr. Albert J. Kiss ! n« of Jacksonville. Fla., and Dr. James G. Patton of Atlanta. Dr. Gear defeated Dr. Hamil ton. a retired missionary, on the second ballot. 2S2 to 1S2. In his report as retiring mod erator of the General Assembly. Dr. William H. MoCorkle of Bris tol. Tenn.. sounded a call for the Presbyterian *amily of churches to join together in easing racial tension and piomoting national unity. He made his pr iposal as some IfiO commissioners from tfi states gathered for I h e Assembly's opening. Dr. McCorkle suggested that ; Holy Week of 19»v> be nliserved as a period to "pray and work to gether for I letter sectional under- j standing and closer bonds within the churches as well." He said his proposal has met with the fe.’or of the moderators of t h e United Pres lyterian Church in th» U. S. A. the Cum berland Presbyterian Church and the Reformed Church in Ameri ca. In his "State of the Chun h" re port. Dr. McCorkle called the ra cial problem the "pa;amount is fUc of our Church." He said dui ing the past year he has observed "the breakin;; down of racial bar riers within th* family of Cod. All of us an* agreed this is as it should be.” He noted that in the area wherr he serves as pastor, where there is only about S percent Negri population. Negroes frequently attend services in “wh.te” chur ches. "Apparently the privilege to belong and to worship as they choose is a precious freer lorn thit this minority desires,” he sa'd. “ruber than actual integra tion itself." It was his opinion that in ™» ing racial tension "aroused Chris tion ronscien-es will be necessary for a final w ir'ting out ot differ ences anil that the process will he determined by local action in lo- ■ cal situations." He tagged sectional distrust a by product of racial tension, add ing: "It hasn't helped us to concern trato our attention on differences when instead of cade .rating the centennial of the War Between the State we should he leading the nation to understand itsell and to he more closely united in the Church. We now pl<*dge alle giance to our common flag and repeat often. ‘ one nation under Cod.” yet we are part and parcel of a society that bristles in dis unity." The church leader deplored the lack of numerical growth in Un christian church and in his own ■ denomination.
