More action and less talk U
' needed If the United States is to
realise the spiritual ideals it pro-
fesses, the Rev. David V. Pitten-
ger, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church, told the Rotary
Club Thursday.
•‘We give lip service to Jehov-
ah,” he said, “yet our gods are
often automobiles, appliances,
armed might and domination ov-
er other peoples. ,
“God wants people and not
speech alone. • He wants nations.
If our spirituality depended on
slogans, the United States would
be the holiest nation on earth.”
Mr. Pittenger opened his talk
by pointing out that all nations
through history have sought al-
lies and ail Christian peoples and
causes have sought God as their
ally.
Reverse Outlook
"We have become so twisted
and self-centered, however, that
we expect God to be on our side commendation
instead of our being on God’s
side,” he added.
Referrihg to Isaiah’s doctrine
of the Suffering Servant, the
speaker declared that a nation
that possesses much has an obli-
gation to help other peoples who
have little.
“For the United, States to be
the Suffering Servant of the
Lord means not so much bending
over backward in give-aways but
that it bb done! in a constructive
manner so that the ‘ peoples re-
ceiving help will be made strong-
er instead of weaker,” he added.
“I wonder if Nasser and the
Arab world are not rebelling be
cause the things that have been
given them have been done with
condescension and not with char-
ity.”
Caution Naodod
Mr. Pittenger declared that
white people make up only a
small fraction of the population
of a world seething with unrest
and said that out of the selfish
motive of preservation, if noth-
ing else, they should be careful
of their relations with other peo-
ple. - ■ *.........................
The speaker was introduced by
Gerald Prim, program chairman.
As an additional feature three
student singers presented a brief
musical program. They were
Miss Janet Allen, Miss Virginia
Vandergriff and Miss Bertha
Tapley. They were introduced by
Jerry Spears, honorary student
Rotarian for October. ____ •
Jack Gibson, president, offer-
ed the club’s congratulation’s to
J. W. Pratt, new president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and its
to Weber Fouts,
retiring president

fits under the new Survivors

Fire Chief Harold Miller said
Friday that the fire drills held in
Sulphur Springs schools during
fire preventon week were very
successful.

ments can be made at one or two
of the cty schools.
The drills were conducted by
members of the volunteer fire
department at the separate
schools in Sulphur Springs.
Miller said thit at one school
34 pupils and one teacher did not
hear the fire bell. They were in
a sound proof auditorium at the
school and there was no bell in
the auditorium.
Miller said that action has
been taken at that school. A beil
will be installed in the auditori-
um in the immediate future.

students marched out in an or-
derly manner in 33 seconds.

perimented with the defoliator
and had found it very successful.
Snyder produced fourteen 500-
pound bales of cotton on 68 acres
of land near Brashear. He harv-
ested 11 bales using the defoliat-
or for a little less than $20 per
bale.

Two Hopkins County farmers
have recently experimented with
five varieties of ' hybrid grain
sorghum and have reported posi-
tive results'.
Henry Sartin and Dreyfus Har-
rington planted the five varieties
on the Birch Creek bottom land.
The two men also planted two
other varieties of grain sorghum,
Plainsman and Martin Milo.
From the experiment, the pair
of men concluded that the hybrid
grain produces more pounds per
acre than the other two. No. 610
of the hybrid grain produced 3,-
000,pounds of combined grain per
acre. .
The lowest of the hybrid vari-
ety was No. 660. It produced 1,-
500 pounds per acre. The other
three varieties each produced 300
pounds per acre.
The Plainsman and Martin Milo
grain produced approximately ?,-
100 pounds per acre. -
These experiments, sponsored
by the Texas A and M College
system, greatly aided the farmers
of Hopkiii# County, Brooks Em-
mons, county agent, said.
The grain was rupplied by4he
A and'M College :<ystem.
