our feelings that naturally arise
at this time of separation from oui
accustomed haunts and friends of
high school days. Really, I feel
like saying with Mark Antony, “If
you have tears to shed, prepare to
shed them now!” However, this is
neither the time nor the place for
weeping and wailing. Rather let
us part this evening with a smile
on our face and with the wish
that we shall meet soon again on
the street, or in the home, or per
haps in some higher institution of
learning.
Personally, I wish for you the
realization of all your dreams—
castles in Spain, the ship coming
in, and all sweet things as dreams
are made of!
"To meet, to love, and then to
part makes up life’s lot to many
a feeling heart.” But yet there are
memories; and the memories of our
school days shall surely ever be
with us, and no doubt we shall
say with Moore:
Oft in the stilly night
Ere clumber’s chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
The smiles, the tears
Of childhood years,
The words of love then spoken,
Thus in the stilly night
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.

LOSS OF TREASURE PLANE
STILL UNSOLVED MYSTERY
Washington, June 2—The Army
wrote “unsolved” today on one of
the war’s big air force mysteries—
what happned to a treasure-laden
plane and 17 occupants that disap
peared six months ago without a
trace off the Africa gold coast.
The plane vanished Dec 4, 1945
as completely as if it had evaporat
ed. It was on a routine 700-mile
flight carrying an undisclosed a-
mount of gold and silver from its
home field near Monrovia, Liberia
to Accra, British West Africa.
Within 12 hours a search was
started by air and by sea and it
eventually covered 112,500 square
miles without turning up so much
as a burned match stick.
Experts have decided the pilot,
Lieut. Oliver K. Morton of Wichi
ta, Kans., may have flown about
20 miles to sea to avoid a storm
and the plane may have crashed
without leaving any floating wreck
age.
Or it may have plunged into
the jungle of the gold coast. Jun
gle-wise Army men say the dense
foliage may have closed over the
wreckage so quickly not even a
scar showed 12 hours after the
crash.
They say there is little possi
bility of anyone surviving to be
the “Dr. Livingston” of the air
age because natives of this region
are famous for their inability to
keep a secret from the wierd jun
gle grapevine.

“God the only Cause and Creator”
is the subject of the Lsson-Sermon
which will be read in Churches of
Christ, Scientist, throughout the
world, on Sunday, June 9.
The Goldn Text is: “The Lord is
the true God, he is the living God,
and an everlasting king He
hath made the earth by his power
he hath established the world by
his wisdom, and hath stretched out
the heavens by his discretion.” (Jer.
10:10, 12).
Among the citations which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol
lowing from the Bible: “In the be
ginning God created the heaven
and the earth. And God saw every
thing that he had made, and, be
hold. it was very good.” (Gen. 1:1,
31).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Script
ures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The
Divine Principle, or Spirit, compre
hends and expresses all, and all
must therefore be as perfect as the
divine Principle is perfect.” (p. 518).
Washington, June 4—Justice Hu
go Black of the Supreme Court,
Tuesday ordered a stay of execu
tion for Willie Francis, 18-year-old
Negro who survived one trip to
Louisiana's electric chair.
Francis went to that portable
electric chair a month ago, but a
mechanical failure prevented his
execution. He was convicted of
killing a St. Martinville, La., drug
gist during robbery. The Louisiana
Pardon Board Monday refused to
commute the death sentence to life
imprisonment.
Counsel for Francis then filed a
petition with the the Supreme
Court asking that it intervene in
the case. Justice Black later grant
ed a stay pending the high court’s
final action on another petition
which requests the tribunal to re
view all proceedings in the case.
This petition is now on file with
the court.

The “abundant life’ which Jesus

Before the days of automatic signals,
a large metal ball suspended from a
tall pole alongside the track was
hoisted or lowered to give train orders.
When raised to the top of the pole,
the ball meant clear track ahead. Thus,
in railroad parlance, “high-ball” be
came a signal to proceed.
Although an old term,
“highball” expresses the
modern, progressive spirit
of the Central of Georgia’s
new improvement program.

The “go ahead” has been given on new
