is a tragedy to Mrs- ( opeland, but
whether council will consider it as

OUT OF REALM
A subscriber expresses the opin
ion that too many preachers are
getting' out of their proper realm
and are trying to impose the.r
opinions in places beyond their
proper category. The subscriber
had in mind, in particular, the sit
uation in Mississippi.
Of course the National Council
of Churches which is made up of
preachers) is forever sticking its
nose into things that are far from
the spiritual realm, such as advo
cating federal aid to education;
advocating admission of Red
China to the United Nations and
on many other subjects of similar
nature. Just where the spiritual
enters into federal aid for educa
tion, I don’t understand. Just why
the NCC wishes godless Red China
in the United Nations is hard for
anyone to understand.
It has been my observation that
preachers do often get into the act
when it isn’t necessary, and more
often stay out when it should lie
necessary- I would like, for in
stance, to hear more preachers
emphasize individual responsibil
ity, responsibility of the Christian
to his fellowman, rather than re
liance on government welfare pro
grams.
I would like to hear preachers
more often, more emphatically,
stress the menace of Communism.
This, certainly, is -within the min
isterial realm, since Communism is
atheistic and has as one of its
goals the destruction of Christian
ity.
More important, the time has
come for preachers to forget their
sophistication and get back down
to preaching the Gospel. Their
purpose in life is supposedly the
winning of souls. Many seem to
find time to do everything else but
this particular job.
As to the Mississippi business,
our preacher told his Sunday
School class Sunday that actions
should only be taken on sound
principle. Am I to believe that the
action taken by the Supreme Court
in May 1954 was based on sound
principle, therefore I must obey
it? The decision on that fateful
Monday was not based on law;
nor was it based on precedent.
It was based on the ramblings of
a Swedish sociologist who had
spent a year or so in this country
—thereby becoming an authority
on sociological affairs of this
country—more so than those of us
who have lived here.
This ,to me, was not sound prin
ciple on which the highest court in
the land should act. It was an af
front to the people of the South
and, I would guess it if the people
were allowed to vote, it would be
determined an affront to the peo
ple of the whole nation.
Further, the decision was based
on the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution, which any Constitu
tional lawyer will tell you was
never legally adopted.
It is a bitter, disturbing situa
tion. And only when we get men
of Integrity into the Congress will
the problem be solved.

There were three items that
went over the budget during the

diture . on capital improvements
for Recreation Department in the
amount of $16,918.64 and council
authorized it as various changes
were required by the State Board
of Health; also the building of
new bath houses was n >t included

j essary.

City Manager K. W. Riebe re
ported to Council as follows:
Several surveys on trash collec
tion are underway to determine
possible re-routing. Information
gained by these surveys will also
be used to determine if additional
equipment will be required to
handle the new annexation. The
present landfill has about run its
course. The city will have to start
using the old dumping area in
about six weeks. Mr. Halfacre
has his men busy painting all
curbs and traffic lines through
out the city. Some of the streets
may have tc be closed temporar
ily; however, this will be kept to a
minimum. Driveways on Montgom
ery street will be repaired as soon
as street painting has been com
pleted. The contractor should fin
ish the sewer extension some time
next week, weather permitting.
Chief Dowd is presently making
some traffic studies around the
school areas. Since hiring the me
ter maid, a patrolman has been
assigned to the Boundary school
area during school rush hours. A
count is being made to determine
the number of collection boxes
that would be required to service
the present parking meters.
Considerable damage has been
done to the building and play
equipment at the Marion Davis
playground by person or person
unknown. A concentrated effort
will be made not to let this happen
in the future. Mr. Fuller’s method
of operation deserves a great deal
of praise for his efforts.
All department heads want and
are doing a good job. They are
open to suggestion and show a
keen desire to improve their area
of responsibility.
