A selected sample of house-
holds In thi s area will be asked
questions about their employ-
ment during 1967 as part of the
February Current Population
Survey conducted by the U.S.
Department of Commerce's
Bureau of the Census, ac-
cording to Percy R. Millard,
Director of the Bureau’s Re-
gional Office In Dallas.
The 1967 survey questions
will be aimed at finding out
the number of weeks worked
during the year, the amount of
time lost because of unem-
ployment and other reasons,
and the job held the longest
time during the year by each
person over 14 years of age In
sample households.
The Current Population
Survey Is taken each month
from a representative sample
of households in 449 'areas
throughout the United States
chiefly to obtain national es-
timates of current employ-
ment and unemployment. The
identity of households Is confi-
dential by law, and the facts
obtained are used for statis-
tical purposes only.

Editorial
Texas Public Schools Week
Curtailment of foreign travel by U.S. citizens, as recently
recommended by the President, may have a short range, salu-
tary effect on our International balance of payments. In the
short range, it may strengthen the position of the dollar in
the International world of finance, and unquestionably, If called
upon to do so, a majority of people in our country will go along
with such restrictions. But,: at the same time, the move
should be recognized as a long step backwards In the cause of
International peace and goodwill between nations.
For many years, increasing, commerce and travel of peo-
ples between the nations have been hopeful Indicators that a
day was coming when national boundaries would no longer
be protective barriers for the nourishment of provincialism,
prejudice and misunderstanding. In recent years, the advent
of the jet airplane has opened a new vista of peaceful mingling
of peoples of all nations. This vast people-to-people program
has been mainly the result of the aggressive travel promotion
of major U.S. International airlines, and It has not been a
one-way street. Our largest overseas airline, Pan American,
has been active in promoting travel from other countries to
the United States. It has spent' more money abroad promoting
this reverse flow of tourism than the government Itself has
spent. As a self-supporting, taxpaying, private enterprise,
travel promotion has been a major activity of this airline as
it has of other International air carriers.
Much of the development of International air travel has been
inspired by the vision of the airplane as an Instrument of good-
will and friendship between nations. Ibis has been In no small
part responsible for the steady downward trend in air fares
and for the Introduction of a means to visit the most remote
corners of the earth.
Mass production of the auto revolutionized life In the United
States. Mass air travel by jet holds high promise of revolu-
tionizing customs and living standards throughout the world. It
would be nothing less than catastrophic to the aspirations of
mankind if freedom to travel Is curbed by government fiat.
Such action can only be justified by the gravest war emergency
and should be accepted as a measure of the most temporary
nature.
A Long Step Backward
March 4 through 8 is Texas Public Schools Week, and all
parents and interested Texas citizens are Invited to visit
the public schools of Cedar Hill.
During this special week, school facilities and teaching
methods are open to inspection and observation of everyone
interested.
Public Schools Week in Ttexas Is an excellent opportunity
for parents to observe first hand the progress their children
are making academically and socially in school. In fact,
parents are especially urged to set aside one day to visit
their children’s classrooms.
New innovations and teaching techniques In Texas Public
Schools are interesting and important, and school adminis-
trators and teachers sure eager to point them out, during
Texas Public Schools Week.
High Interest Fact Of Life
Unless he is contemplating a heavy Investment, such as the
building of a home, the average person is likely to have little
concern with news that the cost of borrowing money--the
interest rate--is at a record high. This is because he does
not see where high interest rates have an Immediate effect
on his plcketbook. « But, as a matter of fact, high interest
rates, like other aspects of Inflation, hit all of us. The capital
that goes into the development of an Industrial plant costs more.
This must be reflected in consumer prices.
Electric power, for example, requires a very heavy capital
investment. The electric Industry must borrow billions of
dollars every year to keep up with the growing power needs
of the nation. The cost of borrowing these billions must even-
tually be taken into account by the regulatory agencies In set-
ting rates for electric service. For many years, the trend
in electric power rates was downward as companies increased
in efficiency and cost-cutting, technological developments were
passed along to consumers. Now, under the pressure of higher
Interest rates and other inflationary cost increases, the deci-
sions of regulatory authorities may tell another story.
It should be remembered that while the price of electric
power may go up, it is still comparatively about the cheapest
item In the family budget. Moreover, those who raise the
cry of “overcharge* against the electric Industry avoid such
facts of life as the cost of borrowing money, a cost that must
be borne by either the customers of the investor-owned com-
panies or the taxpayers In the case of the socialized power
projects.

Sanger-Harris Plans Red Bird Mall
Shopping Center At Camp Wisdom, 67
Sanger-Harris exercised
its option on 133.1 acres of
land at Camp Wisdom and
Highway 67--in Dallas—last
week for construction of a
major regional shopping cen-
ter to be known as Red Bird
Mall.
Weston P. Flggins, Sanger-
Harris president, said the
center will Include the eighth
store In the Sanger-Harris
chain. Its seventh store will
be In the previously announced
Six Flags Mall in the Arlington
-Grand Prairie area.
Flggins said development of
Red Bird Mall will begin In
1969 with completion expected
by the fall of 1971. He dfd
not disclose the amount of the
purchase price.
Another merchandising
giant, Sears Roebuck & Co.,
has agreed to locate a new
facility In the shopping cen-
ter, which will be bounded on
the north by Camp Wisdom,
on the east by U. S. 67 (Love
Freeway) and on the south by
Interstate 20.
The tract--selected in 1966
--is near Red Bird Airport,
Red Bird Industrial Park and
the new U.S. Army and Air
Force Exchange Service.
The tract was purchased
from Vernon S. Smith and
James W. Smith, Oak Cliff
builders, and Dr. William B.
Dean, Oak Cliff physician. The
option was exercised at the
Dallas Title & Guaranty Co,
Both Sanger-Harris and
Sears will construct their own
stores in the center. The re-
developed by the Joseph Mey-
erhoff Corp. of Baltimore, Md.
Flggins said Harold Berry
has been named architect for
the Sanger-Harris store. Har-
wood K Smith will be archi-
tect for the Meyerhoff Corp.
“This location was selected
because of our faith in the Oak
Cliff area and the growing
population of southwest Dal-
las,’ Mr. Flggins declared.
“We believe it has an unusual
long-range potential. Bounded
by three main thoroughfares,
we see this property as the
Ideal spot for a major re-
gional shopping center to
serve not only this section of
Dallas, but also the neighbors
In Duncanville, Cedar Hill, and
DeSoto.”
Before or with the opening
of the new regional center,
Camp Wisdom Is to be widened
to a 100-foot, four-lane high-
way from Highway 67 west to
Cockrell Hill Road.

The Name Christian
The Old Testament had prophesied that God would giv».
a new name to His people. “Unto them will I give in my
house and within my walls a memorial and a name better
than that of sons and of daughters’* (Isa. 56:5). “...and
thou shalt be called by a new name, which tlie mouth of
Jehovah shall name*1 (Isa. 62:2).
£>uring the Savior’s personal ministry, those who followed
him were called believers, disciples, children. But these
were not new names, for ail have been used in the Old Tes-
tament. TYius, It was not until after the establishment of
the Church (Acts 2) and after the Gentiles had been admitted
to membership (Acts 10) that the stage was set for the giving
of the name. As Barnabus and Saul worked with the church
in Antioch, the time for the fulfillment of God’s purpose had
come. “And the disciples were called Christians first at
Antioch.” (Acts 11:26)
May we notice five characteristics of the name Christian:
(1) The name “Christian” is a patronymic name. A pa-
tronymic name is one that indicates relationship, as the name
“Johnson.” “Christian” Is such a name for it Indicates ouf
relation to Christ. We belong to Him! Paul argues that since
Christ has been crucified for us, and since we are baptized
into his name, we belong to Him and should wear His name.
0 Cor. 1:13)
(2) It Is a God given name. “The disciples were called
Christians first at Antioch.” The expression “were called”
Is from a Greek word that is used only nine times in the
New Testament and always means a divine call. The wise
men were “warned of God’*...(Mt. 2:12). Moses is “warned
of God’ to build the tabernacle according to the pattern
(Heb. 9). Not a name of derision, but of divine choice!
(3) It is a name that challenged kings. Agrippa said,
“Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian” (Acts 26:28).
But almost is not enough.
(4) It is a name in which we glorify God. “If any man
suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him
glorify God in this name (I Pet. 4:16). We are not able to
speak or write the name “Christian” without using th^
name of Christ. And each time we use this name, we honor
Christ and glorify Him.
(5) It is not a hyphenated name. When people say that
they are this kind of Christian or that kind of Christian,
we should simply say that we are just a Christian. The New
Tsstament disciples were called Christian and Christian alone.
May we all resolve to be a Christian. May we invite you
to worship with us at the Church of Christ in Cedar Hill.
