Evangelist To
Speak Tonight At
Highland Baptist
Rev George Havens, noted as
the little cowboy evangelist, will
deliver the sermon at the prayer
hour of the Highland Baptist
Church tonight at 7:45 o’clock, ac-
cording to the pastor. Rev. J. L.
Roden.
The guest speaker recently re-
turned from an evangelistic tour
of the Jamacian Islands with 55
other Texas Baptist evangelists and
will also show picture slides taken
on the trip at the services tonight.
Included in the group of minis-
ters making the tour was Rev,
Ferman Weedon, pastor of the
Grace Temple Baptist Church here.
The island visit was sponsored
by the Rev. Frank Weedon, form-
er pastor of the Denton First Bap-
tist Church and presently associ-
ated with the Evangelistic Depart-
ment of the Texas Baptist General
Convention.
WASHINGTON (gt-Sen. Spark-
man (D-Ala) said today the United
States will have to consider the
possibility of yielding some small
Nationalist-held islands to Red
China if this country follows
through on United Nations efforts
to work out a cease-fire in the
Formosa area.
Sparkman, chairman of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Far Eastern
subcommittee, said in an interview
he has no doubt that if the Chinese
Communists accept a U.N. Secur-
ity Council invitation to talk about
a truce, "the least of their de-
mands will be that the Chinese
Nationalists give qp Quemoy,
Matsu and the Tachens ”
These islands — close to the Chi-
nese mainland — are regarded as
covered by the defend-Formosa
resolution passed by Congress last
week, but Sparkman said the ad-
ministration’s attitude toward de-
fending them remains "foggy.”...

exactly what the author wrote or
not read at all,” he commented.
To encourage the reading of
classics, Cerf’s publishing firm or-
iginated the Modern Library Ser-
ies, a moderately priced collection
of the great books of world liter-
ature.
In a more serious vein he also
urged better pay for teachers to
entice more capable people into
the profession and in turn improv e
the education given to students.
He is the father of two sons,
13 and 8 years old.
As a humorist he pointed out the
value of being able to laugh at
oneself.
As much tribute should be paid
to humorists who helped people
to laugh and be happy he said as
to writers who won prizes for de-
picting the seamier side of life.
The ability to see the funny side
of a situation often relieves ten-
lion and gives people a common
ground for understanding he not-

He touched lightly on “Panics”

fairs. depressions, and current hap-
penings such as the Formosa sit-

"The enmity between Dallas and
Fort Worth is of much greater
proportions and long standing than
Formosa.” he quipped.
He expressed confidence in this
country and admonished Ameri-
cans to ignore those who would
destroy their right “to be differ-
ent.”

schools would get more revenue.
Orr explained the above state-
ment by saying that cities and
schools now do not tax autos made
earlier than 1949. Under the new
amendment, both city and school
tax agencies would get a "cut" of
the registration on every car.
Taxation work would be cut to
a minimum for cities and school
districts The county tax office
would note on each registration
if the owner lived in the city or
school district or both. After cars
were registered, the county tax
office would go back through all
registration slips alloting cities and
schools their portion of the fee
already collected.
Registration fees would be the
same whether a car owner lived
in the city or county. Under the
system, every tax branch would
get their money in lump sums aft-
er auto registration.
Orr said tonight in Austin city
and county tax assessors from all
over Texas would be present to
add their support to the proposed
amendment. s
The amendment was proposed
in a' House Joint Resolution by
Representatives Bergman, King,
and Atwell of Dallas.
Under the amendment, if pass-
ed. auto registration fees would be
raised approximately one-third. No
other taxes or fees would be
placed on care unless authoriz-
ed by legislation.
