Suicide
(CMMtantd tut m pmge 1)

was still weak, according to a
spokesman at his home.

the pool about 8:40 a.m. and
was in the process of cleaning
up on the outside of the fenced

male come into the pool area,
go directly to the ladder in the
10 feet deep section and climb
down into the water.
<1 hollered at the man not
to go Into the pool, that we were
not open yet.”
Jones stated further, "The
man submerged himself under
and I then called the lifeguard
at his home.” James Albert
(Dink) .Johnson, 18, of 120 Lin
coln Ct., the lifeguard, arrived
in about five minutes and both
youths pulled Mr. Jones out.
Artificial respiration was ap
plied while the police and an
ambulance was summoned.

Jones was holding him self under
the water,” apparently by the
rails or pipes.

Moore. Bishop Stewart let It
be known that he felt that the
governor’s feeble repudiation
was onl; fodder to fan the fire
of hate and violence which the
"hooded chib” had Ignited in
North Carolina.
The high churchman pointed
out that deceit was perhaps
the most tnaehous weapon
known to mankind. He charg
ed that it thrived upon dis
honesty. He said church people
should substitute beilance for
deceit and give out a ray of
hope for a better life through
a more brillant display of
interest in human life.
The speaker was highly
critical of those who preached
a "God is Dead” philosophy
and charged that man had put
too small a premium on life.
He warned ministers that they
should preach a courageous
gospel. One that would move
