BALTIMORE, Md.~A poll

Jiberal in their racial attitudes

and ~Negro min~sters, were
announced. at a regional interracial leadership conference at
Walbrook Methodist Church

first of its kind in The Methodist Church, was conducted by
two sociologists~Dr. Clifton R.
Jones of Morgan State College,
Baltimore, and Dr- Austin Van
Ter Slice of American University in* Washington..

Terming their 25-page report
~inconclusive~ at many points,
ihe professors agreed that ~the
response of the clergy in these
conference raises hopes for integration in the Methodist
Church.~

_ They pointed out that the
overlapping conferences ~ one
white and the other Negro~are

the ministers are far more lib-|
eral in their racia] attitudes than
we had reason to expect, Drs.
Jones and Van Der Slice commented.

Disarmament and Latin America

(Prom Bulletin of the World Council of Peace).

In its study of cultural problems the Inter-American
Conference of the Congress for Cultural Freedom, meeting
in Mexico in Septembar, was led to examine various political problems: peculiar ~to the American hemisphere and
particularly to Latin America. 7 S25 OS

Reflecting the opiaion of the peopies of Latin Abierica

*

Be = 2
the Conference condemned the sale of arms and: miliary
equipment to these countries. It considered -this~ equipment unusable and a Waste of money that could be devoted
to solving the difficulties of the Latin American peopies.

A resolution in favour of disarmament of the countries oi
Latin America, put forward by Mr. Aldunaie Philips, the
| Chilean delegate, was unanimously adopted. It is based ou
~he conviction of the peoples of Latin America that thes
have no excernal enemy fiom whom ihey might fear aggression.
| _ In the closing speech of the Conierence Mr. Romulo
Gallegos, former president of Venezuela, and honorary
chairman of the Conference, said, among other things, thai
| peace defenders and defenders of culture who stood in separate camps to discuss aspects of a problem which in his: View was a single problem common to both could and should
come together.
~Since to define one~s posiiion in the struggle,~ he said,
| ~is to choose one side or ihe other, and this means a prioi
| examination of the sides offered to us, i hope you will allow
~me to begin with this reflection. ~For freedom of culture,~
|says the Congress for which this Conference is working.
~For peace,~ say others. These watch-words are both so
seductive that one can adimit the possibility that men can
Serve both. without splitting their attitude, since culture and
|peace are not opposites but on the contrary are comple-;mentary. So, when the anxieties and hopes oi men are
thus divided'in the present drdmatic times, it should noi
occur to anyone that the forces pulling to the right and
left, and on~ which the fate of the world depends, are opposed and irreconcilable...~

PUBLIC DEMAND GROWS
FOR COLOR TELEVISION

Increased color program scheduling by the nation~s
major networks has reflected itself in increased public
~demand for bigger and better color television sets.

One major network has announced that its fall and
winter program schedule will feature at least one color
production every night, in addition to spectaculars. This
represents an increase of more than 500 per cent in
colorcasting.:

In line with this trend for more color viewing, the
Radio Corporation of America, pioneer in the development. of compatible color television, has produced the
first complete line of color TV with ten spectacular
models which make colors really come to life, from soft
pastels to the most vibrant-tones,

President, Chrysler Cor- |
poration

The year 1956 will be
ranked as the~,automobile~
industry~s third biggest
year, the retail market for).
new cars in 1957 should)
be bigger than 1956 by a
substantial margin, and the}
whole long-range future
~presents a great, growing
potential market for the
automobile industry.

The American motorist~s |
enthusiasm for the really
new modles presented in
the closing months of this
year put increased vigor
in the final months of the.
1956 market. As an example of this surge in demand,
at Chrysler: Corporation
our dealers sent us orders
for more than 400,000 cars
in the first 40 days after
their introduction on October 30. il
- Our fleet sales people,
~whose 1956 business was
ahead of 1955, report record orders running 100 per
cent ahead of 1955 and 50
per cent ahead of 1954 for
this same period.

In resnonse to this dem- |
and our U. S.' plants were
geared up to produce more)
than 275,000 of our 1957

Another year has '
passed in which we were

happy to serve the many
_ good friends whose patronage we value so highly. To
them, our warm thanks and
best wishes for the New Year.

FROM THE

~~ of Rev. 6.

) Willi ms |

Pastor of Church of God~12th and Harrison St.
ly4e Christian religion, Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Prop-ecy and the Sawior of the world.

He is the ideal example of the good life on earth. He:
is also the object of our faith. As the Psalmist said:

~Oh, come let us worship tite Lord.
Ch, come let us adore Him, -

He is the Lord of glory,
He is the ano:nted one,
ie is our salvation.~

During the Christmas Seascn,
every Christian raffirms his
faith. In celebrating the birth
of the Christ child, we express
the faith and hope that the
world will be saved in the end.

There ~ore, let us find new joy
and hope in the coming New
Year. Let us join with the

angelic host and decept Him in
our hearts and sing glory to God~

in the highest.

Only in the ceming of Jesus
did man find a compass which
could point him in the direction
of God.

The urgent cry of mankind
today is ~O God, give us the
answer to our problems so thet
we may lead a more holy life.

God~s answer to tha request is
that He gave His only begotten
Son that man may have peace
in his heart and in the world.
When Jesus left He said, ~My
peace I leave with you.~

Without Jesus in our life, we
cannot have real peace.

So with the closing of this
year, and the coming of the
New Year, may all the peace
and happiness and the joy of
Christmas and the birth of the

Kng of Peace be with ycu and;

in your heart forever!

You are invited to worship
with us each week.

~Church of God 12th and Harrison, Rev. G. H. Williams Pastor.
