SWEETWATER, March 24 (U.R)
A 4-year-old boy whose father
was burned to death in a fire
three months ago, saved his tiny
sister from a similar fate last
rfight while his mother attended
vocational school.
Delbert Louis Powell said he
was playing on the floor when a
kerosene stove “went pop, pop,
and smoke and fire went every-
where.’’
He grabbed two-weeks-old
Terry Ruth Powell from her bed,
tucked her under his arm, then
ran back through the flaming
room and outdoors.
Two other children and their
grandmother were outside when
the stove exploded.

Search Fails To Report
Trace of Globemaster
LONDON, March 24 (U.R)—More
than 70 planes and ships combed
the North Atlantic today for the
U S. Air Force Globemaster II
which vanished in a storm yes-
terday with 53 persons aboard,
but not a trace of the plane was
found.
Shortly after 3 p.m. (10 a.m.
EST), at least 36 hours after the
four-engine Douglas transport
went down about 500 miles off
Ireland, there had been no re-
ports that any survivors had
been spotted.
A specially-equipped Flying
Fortress converted for rescue op-
erations and carrying a 20-pas-
senger lifeboat radioed it was
returning to Shannon Airport,
Ireland, the message said a
search of what was believed to
be the crash area had been futile.
Forty U S. Aif Force and Navy
planes and nearly 30 British
planes and an undetermined
number of ships were criss-cross-
ing the rolling seas where spot-
ters had reported sighting flares
during the night. -
We'd Like You to Meet
But U.S. 3rd Air division head-
quarters said no one had seen a
trace of the plane.
First Lt. Herschel A. Lamb,
Twin Falls, Ida., pilot of a B-29
which scoured the area all morn-
ing, said upon returning to spe-
cial rescue headquarters at
Shannon:
“All we could see was water.”

“What does Easter mean in the
year 1951?"
All the ministers in Coleman
county were asked that question
by the Daily D-V, and today, in
our Easter edition, we read of
their renewed faith in the resur-
rection and close communion
with God on this Easter Sunday.
The answers which have been
received in our office are:-.....;■
Easter is a glorious season
because it brings us face to face
with the heart of Christian Faith.
The fact that Jesus Christ was
born, lived and ministered to
men, and died on the Cross, is
a fact from which we could not
gather comfort, but these things

Workers al the Good Will Center,
Who Assisi Many Needy People
m
By Bert K. Smith
It was a chilly morning, and
the little boy was shivering. He
held his shirt close to his thin
chest as he approached the new-
ly opened Good Will Center on
the Abilene Highway.
Standing snyiy in me door,
he opened up his hand and re-
vealed a quarter and six pen-
nies.
"I need a shirt ahd pants and
shoes,'1 he told the volunteer
worker.
She smiled and took him to
the rack of children's clothes.
He gently fingered a pair of
trousers. “How much are the
•pants?”
The worker looked at him
and at the pants. “Those are
ten cents,” she replied. "Do you
want them?”
The boy nodded. Then he
touched a pretty blue shirt. “Will
I have enough to get this?’’
‘‘It’s only a nickel.’
The boy began to get excited.
■He hurried to the spot where the
shoes were, and trying on sev-
eral, lifted up a tennis shoe.
"And these?’
“Those are only 10 cents,’’ the
worker answered.
Tears came to the boy’s eyes,
en I’ll have enough for shoe
gs too?”
Jt his new outfit, the youngster
hurried out the door, complete-
ly‘happy. <
Scene Typical
The scene was typical of the
many such incidents which hap-
pen at the Good Will Center.
Good Will, often considered an
intangible force, is very real and
very evident at the Center.
Two Colemanites, Mrs. Cecil
Freeman and Mrs. Dan Smith,
who do much toward spearhead-
ing the Good Will Center, have
found their rewards in their work
but keep wishing for more volun-
teers so that the work couid fan
out into much-needed areas.
Th Center is an outgrowth of
the Inter-Church group, which
Mrs. W. E. Allen heads. It opened
last November 4, with represen-
tatives from 12 churches coop-
erating in assorting the clothos
and serving as volunteers. Civic
groups took up the job, and
many of the joined in collecting
clothes and in helping get them
ready for sale. ------■ ---•——
Mrs. Cecil Freeman works as
chairman of the Center and gives
it much of her time and energy.
Serving on the committee with
her are Mesdames Clovis Tyson,
W. D. Allen, Sanford Tune, Gene
Larson, W. Dan Smith, Charlie
Gordon, Charles Wilson, F. M.
McKinney, Ruth Ransberger, M,
J. Brannon, Virgil Bennett,
West and Bob Snodgrass.

fact, for there was a Ressurec-
tion-on Easter morning and with
it our hope of immortality be-
came an assurance.
The transaction on that first
Easter is the ultimate hope of
our salvation. It is in this great
event, which we celebrate, on
Easter that we come to know
the meaning of J'esus’ words
when He said, “I am the Resur-
rection and the Life ... because
I live, ye shall live also." Easter
helps us to know that we are cre-
ated to live eternally and gives
us the assurance that we shall
again be united with our loved
ones whom we had and know for
awhile, but have gone on. Easter
is the message of life everlast-
ing.—First Methodist Church,
Wallace N. Dunson, Pastor.
Easter in 1951 should mean
the same as it has for centuries
past. It is the anniversary of
the Resurrection of Christ. It
is on this day that the mission
of the Word Incarnate attains
the object towards which it has
been tending, namely, man is
raised from his fall and regains
what he had lost by Adam’s sin.
Jesus had not risen to eternal
life alone, the whole human race
also has risen to immortality
together with Him.—Rev. Leon-
ard van Ackeren, O.S.B., Sacred
Heart Catholic Church.
Easter of 1951 will mean to the
world whatever the peoples of
the world want it to mean; East-
er reflects the greatest sacrifice
the world has ever known. If
we believe that Christ died and
was buried; and rose the third
day. then let us rise to a newness
of life and follow Him. And we
will have a great Easter in a
great world.—Frank O'Hearn,
entrenched invading force. | a new defense line two to five
MacArthur said during a fly-1 miles north of Uijonbu. across
We are made to realize the
uncertainty of the future of the
world this Easier season. We
are unable to visualize what lies
ahead, but because of what our
Saviour did about two thousand
years ago we have an assurance
in Him that has stood the test
of time. Jesus overcame death
and now lives to bring peace to
the world.—James C. Shipman,
Pastor, North Coleman Baptist
Church.
Easter can mean the same in
1951 as it did to the disciples
nearly two thousand years ago.
Then, it meant a “New Life Pat-
tern" tp' the two walking the
dusty road to Emmaus that first
Easter Sunday. The risen Sav-
iour meant “New Life.”
In 1951 Jesus Christ can be-
come Cur contemporary. Our
risen Living Lord is known To
us in intimate friendship, the
strength, joy and hope of every
day, that He has been to count-
less thousands down through the
ages. Let us in 1951, let Him
make our lives a “New Life Pat-
tern."—Rev. O. E. Willis, Pastor,
Foursquare Church.
When I think of Easter my
mind goes back over 1900 years
ago, when my blessed Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, the very
Son of God, after being crucified
for my sin, buried in the tomb,
arose early one Sunday morning,.

Students Gel
Coleman Visit
The city of Coleman was stu-
died first hand Saturday morn-
ing in an unexpected stopover
by 18 students and professors of
the University of Chicago.
Traveling from a week-long
■Visit to the Big Bend country,
the group was on a chartered bus
which early Saturday morning
blew a tire west of Talpa. The
tyre was obtained from Goodyear
here, and while waiting for pay-
ment by telegraph the visitors
spent several hours in Coleman.
Included in the party was a
Chinese woman, two Frenchmen,
two Englishmen, a Greek, a Scot
and 11 Americans from the Mid-
dle West and the North, none of
whom had been south of the
Mason and Dixon line.
The visitors were impressed
with the clean, wholesome look
of this entire area, they said.
Also, they commented on the
more ieisutely pace of the Texas
resident as contrasted with those
of the north. The trip was under
the sponsorship of the Chicago
University Student Union
the entire western front
U. S. paratroopers to the east
of Uijonbu held positions about
eight miles trim the 38th par-
allel, while Americans and Bel-
gians hit the firmly entrenched
Communists on the west. The
Reds were dug into rugged hills
northeast and northwest of Un-
jonbu.
"The Chinese let us get within
hand grenade range of their holes
before they fought,” said Lt. Col.
Julian W. Levy, Augusta, Ga.,
who commanded one of the as-
sault units.
“The only way to get them out
is to dig them out with bayon-
ets," he said
Northwest of Seoul, South Ko-
reans met only light resistance
from scattered groups of North
Koreans as they cleaned out the
area.
Earlier,, desperate Communist

had counter-attacked U.N. forces
northeast of Seoul in an attempt
to delay a new Allied crossing
of the parallel.
Easier I9SI
The hope for peace among men still flickers in the
world today.
That is the one important fact that stands true de-
spite the flaming of war and death in Korea and the
threat of conflict in other regions.
We human beings, despite our protestations of virtue
and love for our fellow man, universally fall short of our
ideals.
As we work and strive fo rpeace in the abstract,
where men of all races, creeds and color can get along in
a universal brotherhood of man, let us attempt to trans-
late this far-off ideal into our concrete everyday living.
Let us—here in Coleman—each live better lives, and
really strive to practice tolerance and understanding for
other man and to know our own petty shortcomings.
Perhaps, from this community this spirit will grow
to such an extent that it will reach throughout the world.
Then, the confluence of better feelings in our own
every-day human relations will be such that it will cause
a ground-swell for peace in all parts’of the world.

Jones Endorses
Byrd's Bill To
Abolish the RFC
WASHINGTON. .March 24 (UJ>J
Senators who want to abolish the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
today hailed the-renewed support
of former RFC Chairman Jesse
H. Jones as a valuable weapon
in their fight against the govern-
ment lending agency.
Jones wrote Sen. Harry F.
Byrd, D , Va., that Senate in-
vestigators have hardly “scratch-
ed the surface" of irregularities
in the RFC.
"If we cannot have integrity in
our government,” Jones asked,
“why sacrifice our boys in Korea
and our billions in defense of our
country?"
Jones endorsed Byrd's bill to
put the RFC out of business.
Meanwhile, former assistant
attorney general, Wendell Berge,
announced formation of a small
manufacturers' emergency com-
mittee to fight efforts to abolish
the agency. Berge said “big busi-
ness and banking interests" are
behind the attempt.
Byrd, in making Jones' letter
public, said he had asked chair-
man Burnet R. Maybank of the
Senate banking committee to
hold hearings soon on his bill.
The South Carolina Democrat
said his group will hear argu-
ments for Byrd’s bill and others
affecting the RFC at an early
date. »
Jones, now a Houston, Texas,
publisher and financier, long has
advocated elimination of the
RFC. Last summer he wrote
Chairman J. William Fulbright,
D . Ark., of the Senate RFC in*
. vestifigtjng subcommittee, that—
the agency has outlived its use-
fulness.
The RFC was created in 1932 to
• help banks and business survive
the depression. Later it provided
loans for defense industries dur-
ing World War II.
