ANXIOUS MUiViiijN is - For this crew of
anxious workers, every moment was anxious
as they brought to surface buckets of debris,
from a well that had caved in on John Lipscomb,
62-yr.-old grave-digger and well-cleaner, of
Fuquay-Varina, Tuesday afternoon. He lived
six anxious hours in the well and when he
was finally brought up, by the men shown
here, he exclaimed, “Thank you, Lord Jesus.”
Prayer Vigil Kept
j By Wife Os Victim
Those who say there Is no God should have a talk with a
Fuquay man, who was trapped in a well Tuesday and his wife,
■ who sat feverishly by as rescue workers attempted to bring him
; to the surface. The man says he pinned his hopes on God and
the wife sent up a prayer with every bucket of debris that was
brought to the surface. And when her husband was brought
up she passionately said, "Thank you, Jesus, thank you."

Waiting os the lord - Mrs. Jjpfeomb
is shown in one of her many poses, during
the ordeal. She, too, says that she prayed
incessantly and knew that the Lord heard her
prayer for her entrapped husband. Mrs. Lip-
J scomb, 45, raised her clinched hands toward
heaven, when she saw her husband said, “Thank
you, Jesus, thank you”, signifying that there
is power in prayer.

several of Raleigh’s ghetto areas, met Tuesday evening in the
Raleigh City Council Chamber. Committee Chairman, Peyton
Woods, said that the original purpose of the # meetlng was to
gather more facts about Southeast Raleigh and to discuss
human relations. According to reports Southeast residents
are beginning to wonder when the facts are going to be evalu
ated and as far as the discussion o human relations are
concerned, Southeast residents are said to be tired of talking.
Throughout the meeting,
Woodson emphasized the fact
that Negroes must not tear
down the bridges that have been
built. Rev. Tim Kimrey, as

meeting was a general "mish
