Bishop Ward Class Shows
New Vigor irr 53rd Year
PRICE CUTS WOULD COME SLOWLY
fects on retail prices' hinge on
several intangibles: the ability
of American industry to cpm-„
’pet<87~hbw many special pro-
tections will be sought and ob-
tained, and the extent to which
international bargaining will
allow the US to protect threat-
industries? .....
Special protections are ac-
corded quite a few items, in-
cluding cotton textiles, low-
priced stainless steel flatware,
certain kinds of fish, cheese
made from cows’ milk, and
long-staple .cotton.
The machinery for such spe-
cial protections is continued by
the new trade bill. But a pe-
tition for tariff and/or quota
limits may be made by an in-
dustry able to show that it
has been harmed by imports,
or that it needs protection for
reasons of national security.
Sulphur Springs’ largest Sun-
day School group, the Bishop
WardACla^ ,«f*tfe<» . Fias* ifccth-
odist Church, is moving into
its 53rd year of activity with
a renewed surge of vigor.
The class boasts a peak at-
tendance of 276 persons and
never has had less than 100
present at its Sunday morn-
ing sessions since early Octo-
ber, 1940. .
The class was organized in
September, 1909, by the young
men of the church shortly hfter
the death of Methodist Bishop
Seth Ward and was named in
his honor.
Six Charter Member*
Charter members were
Charles Schley, Roy Spence,
King Cummings, Osborn Con-
nor, Charlie McKinney and
Henry McCorkle, a brother of
Claude McCorkle.
All Methodist Sunday School
groups except the primary di-
vision were meeting in one
large\ room in the old brick
church building at the time.
Mrs. W. F. Bryan, wife of the
pastor, invited the young men
to use the parsonage parlor,
and it served as a meeting
place for some time.
Schley, who was in the ab-
stract business here, was elect-
ed as the first president and
also taught the class for a time.
The teaching duties soon were
taken over by Mrs. Bryan, who
is ranked as the first teacher.
She retained the role until Mr.
Bryan was moved to another
pulpit in 1910.
Connor and McKinney were
the first class secretaries. T. C.
McCorkle was superintendent
of the Sunday School at the
time.
Covers All Ages
The class grew steadily in
membership and in interest dur-
ing the years and gradually de-
veloped into a group including
men of all ages. It has provided

By Associated Press
Budget-conscious housewives
can expect no immediate drop
in the prices of foreign items
sold in American stores should
congress pass the sweeping new
free trade bill.
Three major reasons are of-
fered by trade sources on why
lower priced foreign goods are
not likely for at least five
years.
For one thing, foreign goods
are not as cheap as they used
to be. Wages in many foreign
countries have been rising fast-
er than production, and prices
reflect it.
Another reason is that Amer-
ican tariffs have already been
slashed so much in successive
stages'since 1930 that there’s
not much left to reduce.
‘Protection’ Left
The third reason is that the
new legislation—while much
more sweeping than previous
trade acts—still opens vistas
for American industries to pro-
tect themselves against severe
foreign price competition.
At,least five years will be
required for reductions to have
full effect because that’s the
way the legislation is drawn
up. Any actual reductions that
might result probably will come
in hard, give-and-take bargain-
ing with other nations. Dur-
ing that five-year interim,
many things can happen in the
business and political climates
of America and the other na-
tions.
Some, of the conditions that
could lead to sharply reduced
prices of foreign goods are:
American industrial ingenuity
might push it into such pros-
perous new fields that the old
fields might be gladly aban-
doned to cheaper foreign pro-
ducers; the European common
market might bargain so hard
that the U. S. would have to
allow cut-rate imports to pre-
serve its own export markets;
a lowering of currently strong
inflationary pressures in Eu-
rope could also result in low-
ering prices of foreign goods.
Two Tariff Cut Changes
But in the absence of such
drastic changes, trade sources
expect continued spirited com-
petition without sharp changes.
This appraisal seems to be
borne out by tariff reductions
that take place in two stages
—on July 1 of this year and
on next July 1.
One importer reports that
whenever a reduction is about
to take effect, he gets a cable
advising that the factory price
has risen by exactly the same
amount that the duty went
down.
The manager of the import
office for a large department
store says of the pending bill:
“Frankly, we are looking to
tariff reductions merely as a
means of maintaining inter-
est in imported items we al-
ready have. If duty doesn’t go
down, some of these things just
won’t be able to compete here
any more. Every time we turn
around, the price goes up.’’

diers recently completed eight weeks of military police train-

Washington, July 12 MB —
President Kennedy has signed
legislation authorizing the con-
struction of three privately
owned toll bridges across the
Rio Grande between Texas and
Mexico.
The bridges are proposed to
be built by Dow Chemical Com-
pany at or near Heath cross-
ing; by the San Benito Inter-
national Bridge Company at or
near Los Indios and by the
Starr Camargo Bridge Com-
pany at or near Rio Grande
City.
All three bridges are to be-
come toll-free 66 years after
completion.
The bill authorizing the Dow
Chemical bridge requires that
construction be started within
a year. Authority for the other
bridges will lapse if they are
not started within three years.

Southfield, Mich., July 12
— A Southfield policeman i*
icheduled to *ee a psychia-
trist today as a consequence
of his actions Tuesday in the
arrest of a woman motorist.
The officer, 31-year-old
Richard Wort, admits stop-
ping 31-year-old Mrs. Bertha
Gold for speeding, then hand-
cuffing her to a tree, tieing
her legs, taping her mouth
and leaving her while he look-
ed for a bicycle thief.
He has been suspended and
charged w$h felonious as-
sault.
Mrs. Gold says Wort also
clubbed her, pointed a pistol
at her forehead and threat-
ened: “If you’re not hero
when I get hack I’ll find you
and blow your head off.”
However, Wort denies this.
Fire Threatens
Block of Town
Spur, July 12 MP) — A fire
that threatened an entire busi-
ness block in downtown Spur
has destroyed a drug store and
has damaged several other
stores.
City fire department offi-
cials estimated the loss at
$150,000.
The fire was believed to
have been started by a com-
bustible liquid in the pharmacy
department and spread rapidly
through the City Drug Store.
Damaged was an adjacent
building into which the drug
store was expanding. Two vari-
ety stores were damaged by
smoke and water.
