FATHER ALRERT
Today I wa.it to tell you a little
about the early background of the
church in the Coloniej of North
America.
The first Enj li h services were
held in Jamestown in l*io" by the
Rev. Robert Hunt and Episcopal-
ian, who conducted daily morning
and evening prayer, ami preached
twice every Sunday as well ay ad-
ministered Holy Communion freq-
uently. I quote Fr. Hunt, "We did
hang an owning to the trees to
shield us from the sun. our walls
were rails of wood our seats un-
titled trees, our pulpit :t bar of
wood." On a;i equally rustic Altai-
occurred the first recorded cele-
bration on the Atlantic Cocv of
the Holy Eucharist (Holy <virti-
munion) according to the Anglican
(Episcopal) Church. This was on
Jane 21st the third Sunday after
trinity, just little more than a
month after landing.
The Rev. Alexander Whittaker
succeeded Father Hunt at the
Jamest< wn Colony. The first elec-
tine assembly of thr new world
was held in !♦> 11> in the Episcopal
Church at Jamestown. Virginia.
This assembly was open. il with an
Episcopal Prayer Book Collect by
an Episcopal clergyman. Oui Epi
copal Colenial Church caine to
these shores seven years before
the Holland Dutch came to New
Y'trk, eleven years before the much
r/ivertised puritans came to my
native Massachusetts, twenty-sev-
en years before Lord Baltimore to
Maryland.
Tne Anglican Episcopal Church
was the first Church to celebrate
the Christian wor ship and Sacra-
ments ca our shores, and the
Episcopal church was also the
Church of the first permanent
settlers within the limits of the
thirteen original states. The Epis-
copal Church had more to do with *
constituting our nation with itr
Declaration of Independence u.id
Constitution than any other Church
bod' .
The United States is an English
^peaking nation and the Episco-
pal Church throughout the world is
preiminently the Church of the
Enarlish spe.-iking race.

religious test shall ever be re-
quired as a qualification for any
office in the United States. And
then we must not forget Patrick
Henry an Episcopalian, who thun-
dered out in an Episcopal Clmrch
in Virginia, "Give me liberty or
give me death."
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia
an Episcopalian, proposed the
Idea of a congress for all the
colonics and he it was, who intro-
duced into Congress a resolution
for the Independence of the col-
onies. The declaration of rights
adopted by the Virginia Legisla-
ture and embodied in the Declara-
tion of Independence was written
by George Mason an Episcopalian.
The Declaration of Independence
was first publicly read in the pub-
lic square Philadelphia, by John
Nixon, an Episcopalian. Payton
Randolph the first president of thr
American Congress, a congress
which set on foot the war of the
Revolution was an Episcopalian.
The lantern which lighted P iuI
Revere's famous ride upon Lexing-
ton and Concord was hung in the
steeple of Old Christ Episcopal
Church by n Episcopalian.
A great majority of our leaders
and many of our presidents havt
been Episcopalians. General Rob-
ert E. Lee wa~. au Episcopalian.
President Jefferson Davis, of the
Confederate States was an Episco-
palian. General Pershing was ?n
Episcopalian. General Douglas
MacArthur is an Episcopali-11. A
goodly number of the presidents
of the United States were Episco-
palians. Mrs. Bess Truman is an
Episcopalian, Marga.ret is an
Episcopalian; Harry is a Baptist.

Texans Have New
Way To K9I Snakes
MATADOR, Tex. (U.P'—Tui, Ma-
atdor men have perfected a sure
thing for capturing snakes. They
have the proof in 79 rattlesnakes
so far this year.
Their system is simple. They use
a long iron rod, some old rags
and a can of gasoline. The soaked
rags are set afire and forced into
the snake den. The heat and the
fumes force the snakes out.
Bill Slover and Homer St;irkey
killed or captured H8 rattlers from
one den on the Gerald Waybourn
ranch 12 miles northeast of Mata-
dor. They brought back alive six
of the largest rattlers.
Slover and Starkey use a forked
stick when they w;.nt to capture
a rattler alive but generally they
kill them on the spot. Rattlers,
they say, often kill livestock by
their poisonous bites.
Puerto Rico Dilliiger' Bad Han
Has Island On Deadly Nan Hunt
By MATTHEW T. KENNEDY
United Press Staff Correspondent
SAN JUAN, 1". R., <U.R;—A scar-
faced ex-carpenter with a lust for
murder and violence has been
playing a deadly game of tag with
police in the dense sugar cane
fields of this island for almost 17
months.
Antonio Correa Cotto, 112, now
has a $1,500 price on his head as
the most notorious killer Puerto
Rico has seen in at least half a
century. He has murdered four
persons and is partly responsible
for two other killings.
His record, which g«>e; back to
l'.'tl. includes many other attempt-
ed murders. He usually uses a .."IS
caliber revolver. He always takes
his victims by surprise, usually
late at night, and before despatch-
ing thrm makes some comment
such as: "You dirty pig, I'm going
to kill you!"
All of Correa Cotto's victims
have been accused by him of try-
ing to turn him in to the police.
Public Indignant
Insular authorities, facing ris-
ing public indignatiOc* i.nd the
threat of a legislative investiga-
tion, are trying hard to capture
the escaped fugitive, dead or alive.
It is regarded as certain, however,
that he will not surrender.
Three bloodhounds from Florida
were put on his trail and every
policeman who could lie spared
from service elsewhere has been
assigned to the case. The chief of
police. Col. Salvador T. Roig, is
directing the manhunt.
Aiding local authorities are four
Florida police officials who
brought the bloodhounds here by
plane. They are J. A. Youell, as-
sistant chief of the Miami police;
A. Hagan of Parrish, Sheriff of
Polk County; Tom Lipe of the Mi-
ami police ami Carl Andrews of
the Polk County sheriff's office.
Criticism of police has mainly
centered around the fact that the
convict has been operating in and
around the city of Ponce—his
home town on the southern coast.
That is, in an area of not more
than ;il) square miles.
Police Hampered
Puerto Rico itself is only IW
miles long and :io miles wide.
Police, however, have been ham-
pered by the cane fields and places
>>t heavy tropical undergrowth in
which the killer has hidden. They
have been hindered also by lack

of co-operation of many citizens
who fear Correa Cotto will get
them before police succeed in get-
ting him.
Authorities are &ure he is re-
ceiving help, either voulntarily or
forcibly.
Correa Cotto is illiterate, about
five and a half feet tall, and
weighs 135 pounds. He ha~, slightly
curly black hair, a mustache and
"cold" eyes. His face is scarred
across the lips, over one eyebrow
and also on the forehead.
He splashed into prominence
when he, as one of the ringleaders,
and 111 other convicts shot their
way out of the insular penitentiary
on Oct. 28, l!>f>0. Two guards were
killed and Correa Cotto i; consider-
ed probably most responsible.
At the time he was serving two
life sentences for two murders.
Puerto Kico has no death penalty.
On Looee Again
All except Correa Cotto were re-
captured or killed. Three months
later Correa Cotto appeared in
Ponce, killed two persons, wound-
ed four others and disappeared.
Since then he has become some-
thing of a legendary figure a
cross between John Dillinger and
Kilroy. He was "seen" in almost
every town in Puerto Rico and
some theorists had him gone to
New York, Chicago and even Ko-
rea.
Correa Cotto turned up on Feb.
25, 1951, in Ponce and tried to kill
his cousin. Although police were
watching the area, he came back
again 48 hours later. That time
he wounded an elderly man, alleg-
edly raped his pregnant wife twice
Shortly afterwards he exchang-

BERKELEY, Calif. Some

cording to William C. Snyder and

University of California College of
Agriculture.
The two identified a pine-infest-
ing fungus in the eastern Unite#
States which increases the rosin
flow of certain pines. Although the
process is not in commercial use
yet, it is a potential method for
boosting production of rosin for
making turpentine, paints, varn-
ishes, and plastics. v
Ergot, a fungus disease growing
in rye kernels, is widely used to
prevent hemorrhage.
Pecky cedar, often used in
