Worldwide Church Attendance Event
Begins Sunday; Resolve to Go Regularly
IN CASE you're wondering about
what New Year’s resolutions to
make this year, here's a suggestion
from many denominations:
Resolve to attend church regular-
ly
Sunday marks the beginning of
the Worldwide Church Attendance
Movement, which will last the 14
Sundays from New Year's Day
through Easter on April 1.
Thousands of churches of all
faiths will participate in the pro-
gram.
Theme -for the movement ■ this
year is “The Answer is God." New
Year's Day in many churches will
be Covenant Sunday, when mem-
bers will sign a loyalty covenant
card-renewing their loyalty and
pledging their attendance during
the special emphasis
The Rev. J. W Fielder of Alders-
gate Methodist Church commented,
“If we could see every church
member resolve to be more loyal
to the church, attendance-wise,
every church can grow.”
Aldersgate will observe covenant
Sunday during both services Sun-
day.
"The most precious 60 minutes a
family can stay together is during
church services." the Rev. Fielder
commented. "Let's make January
to Easter the time to rediscover
something wonderful that happens
in our heart and in our lives when
we attend church together as a
family.”

1956 have been set by state work-
ers. * *
Der Forrest C. Feezor, executive
secretary for the Baptist General
Convention of Texas, estimated
that the denomination will need
3 000 new churches and four times
the present number of ministers
and staff workers during the next
20 years.
During the coming year, the state
Baptists would like to have 75,000
new converts, 120 new churches
and a 39 million program for mis-
sion work.-
Presently Texas Baptists total
1,419.802, in 3 625 churches Two
new churches were built each week
during 1955, 70,110 new converts
were baptized, and donations to-
taled 365,877,755.
Sunday schools passed the enroll-
ment goal of one million by 110,-
185 persons Training unions en-
rolled 434,000 persons for an all-
time high. set
| Property now totals $227,629,399,
increasing about 325 million each
year. Thirty years ago, the church
property in all was less than 325
million.
Hog's Share
Of Building
During 1955 Corps of Engineers’
construction in North-Central Tex-
as totalled an estimated $35,000,000.
Most was in Abilene.
According to Col. Harry 0.
Fischer, Fort Worth District
Engineer, a 835,000.000 construction
program has been accomplished by
private contractors working under
supervision of the Fort Worth Dis-
trict. Corps of Engineers, during
the year now ending.
By far the largest emphasis was
on military construction projects.
During 1955 the new Abilene Air
Force Base project near Abilene,
Texas involved a "322,000,000 ex-
penditure.
Another large construction pro-
gram is also in progress at Fort
Hood where troop and family hous-
ing, equipment maintenance facili-
ties, etc. are under way. New Air
Force stations are also planned at
Lufkin and Ozona.
During 1955 the Dallas Floodway
was advanced to its half-way
mark, Colonel Fischer added.
The $10,000,000 undertaking will
provide a harness for the often
unruly Trinity River, protecting
vital business and residential areas
and communication facilities.
A $4,000,000 floodway project at
Fort Worth is now in the final
stages of construction.
The multimillion dollar construc-
tion effort now under way will
continue during the first half of
the coming year, Colonel Fischer
anticipated. The program to be ac-
complished during the latter 'part
of 1956 will however be dependent

Why a man will leave a voca-
tion which affords a comfortable
living, favorable working condi-
tions, a great deal of personal lib-
‘ erty, and pleasant surroundings to
take his wife and two small chil-
dren into a new community where
there would be no means of sup-
port and enter school in prepara-
tion for the Christian ministry re-
sults from an experience which
only those who have passed
through it can understand This
happened to me more than 30 years
ago.
That God called men to preach
and to aerve in His ministry was
on accepted belief in my family,
my church, and my own life. To
me. however, the call to the min-
istry was something that happened
to others. Testimonies of older
preachers had led me to think that
the call to preach was a mystical
experience in which one saw
visions, heard voices, or at least
experienced something which very
few could ever attain. ...
Then one day, when my plans
were settled for me to continue as
a farmer-stockman, own a home
of my own, and rear my children
to the open country, I was sudden-
ly startled with the overwhelming
conviction that God was calling me
into His ministry to preach His
Gospel. No visions appeared, no
voices were heard, but an amaz-
ing consciousness that God wanted 1
me for life-time service in the min-
istry brought me to a period of
deep prayer and meditation This
conviction came as I was quietly
readsig a paper-bound Scripture
portion, the Gospel of Matthew,
while ploughing in the field.
For several days a heavy burden
seemed to weigh upon my heart
and mind. I felt inadequate, un-
prepared, unworthy. It became my
firm conviction, however, that the
only way for me to be within God's
will for my life was to enter the
ministry. Out in the open field far
from church altars, congregations,
or any symbol of public worstup.
I kneeled by the side of my plough
in fervent prayer. My decision was
made: my answer was given. The
burden was lifted and my entire
being was flooded with joy and
radiant happiness. Plans were soon

more—if and when it ever rains
again—will little rivulets tr ckie
down the officers' necks while they
talk over their downtown phone
here
Nor will they freeze until their
teeth chatter in so doing
Nor will the chugging of those big
diesels drown out the conversation.
That’s all been fixed. .•
Chief Ray Laney has arranged to
set up a downtown phone booth to
replace the out-door phone set-up
now in use on the northwest corner
of the square.
“In times when we're so fortu-
nate as to get a rain here " said the
chief. "I’ve stood there with it
trickling down my neck which, in
cold weather, isn't funny.
“Also, if a phone conversation
runs into considerable detail you
can get plenty -cold, on a winter's
night, finishing getting the informa-
tion you are seeking, standing still
out in the weather. *
“And when the door of the new
booth is pulled shut it will cut out
most of the noise from the heavy
traffic on adjacent Highway 60.”
The foundation has been set and
the gray-painted booth for police
service will be moved in soon.
The police number there, as at
the City Hall, is 75.

Abilenian Takes
OU Cadet Office
NORMAN, Okla. Dec 31 - Jer-
ry Jarrett, Abilene, has been
selected to serve as a cadet officer
of the Air Force ROTC unit at the
University of Oklahoma for the
remainder of the semester Jarrett
will act as adjutant for Squadron
I, Group I.
Officers were chosen by the OU
Air Force military training de-
partment and a poll of the cadet
corps. Basis for selection included
personality, popularity, leadership
ability, voice of command and
academic achievement
Jarrett, a senior in the college
of business administration, is the
son of Mrs. Walter K Jarrett, 861
Sayles Blvd.
1956 will be down 12 per cent from
nearly 8,000,000 passenger cars to
7,060,000.
Says Colbert: 1955 was not a
“temporary phenomenon " In 1956,
the growth in "demand for car-
will be continued and strength-
ened"
You get a sense of the impor-
cussion at a joint session of the
American Economic and Ameri-
can Statistical Associations in New
York Yet taxes weren't mentioned
as two of America's best known
economists analyzed the outlook
Said Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, first
chairman of former President Tru-
man's Council of Economic Ad-
visers: "In spite of the obviously
unexhausted momentum of general
prosperity, I cannot share the easy
optimism of those who are already
scoring up 1956 as better than,
equal to, or, at worst, only a
trifle less glorious than 1955."
An 'Inverted Saucer’
But Alan H. Temple, executive
vice president of New York's sec-
ond largest bank, the First Na-
tional City, pictured the 1956 eco-
nomic pattern as an “inverted
saucer with the crest of prosperity
still to come." He said the second
half might point downward — but
doesn't anticipate a sharp drop
Nothing' worse than 1954.
Both Curtice and Nourse point
up the issue. They expect declines
And if—the declines are deep
enough, if unemployment increases
and purchasing power drops the
government may have to rush in
with tax cuts—to stimulate sales
and business. Indeed, layoffs by
the Ford Motor Co. at Cleveland
and Canton, Ohio, have taken some
of the cheer out of the New Year
But there's still enough cheer,
still enough of a prosperous
glow, as the New Year opens, to
sustain the position-of Secretary of
the Treasury George M. Humphrey
and Budget Director1 Rowland R
Hughes that a balanced budget
comes first, that no tax cuts are
necessary in '56
The administration view will be
formally stated in President Ei-
senhower’s forthcoming state
of-the-union and budget messages,
and, more particularly, to his eco-
nomic report to Congress.
Temple's analysis confirms the
administration to its present view.

gues, inferentially, that we must 1 -I 9T
be prepared for a recession—some-
thing worse than ‘54 and '49. His
case is this: -
1. Farmers are in for another
poor year Surpluses overhang the
market. It's entirely possible,
therefore, that there will be a
“considerable decline in the farm-
ers‘ ability to buy trucks, tractors,
automobiles, fertilizer and house-
hold goods" 'The American farm-
er is the victim of his own excel
lence. One of the fundamental.
greater production with fewer
workers. In short, increased effi-
ciency (see chart Farmers pile
up farm products faster than they
sell them. >
2. The automobile market will
shrink. "It would be easy to see
how we might not sell more than
6 400.000 passenger cars." This is
sharply at variance with the Chry-
sler view. It’s 600.000 cars under
Curtice’s estimate. It’s right in line
with the estimate of George Rom-
ney, president of American Motors
If car production fails, it will re-
duce demand for glass, steel, cop-
per, etc.
3. Construction: Though new
plant and equipment expenditures
may rise, apartment house, office,
and home building have already-
begun to drop sharply.
Too Much Credit Already?
4 Credit: He wonders whether
the liberal extensions of credit on
private mortgages, business loans,
and consumer durable goods can
possibly be continued. If., credit
doesn’t continue to expand, then
what will happen to sales and busi-
ness activity? -
Some loosening of credit has al-
ready occurred. The Federal Re-
serve Board has helped banks to
meet Christmas demands for loans
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board has on-lightened its rules on
advances by Federal Home Loan
Banks to savings and loan associa-
tions—this to make mortgage mon-
ey easier and stimulate home

Going to Sabanna ^^
EASTLAND, Dec 31 (RNS) -
The first- Eastland County Singing
Convention of the new year will be
held Sunday, Jan. 8, at Sabanna,
southwest of Cisco.
Details for the occasion are
being worked out by Henry Carter

singing association, and other
leaders in the organization.
Carter said several quartets are
expected to be on the program
and that numerous individual sing-
ers plan to participate.
Quarterly meetings are held by
the association. The second meet-
ing of the year is held in Eastland
and the date in 1956 is likely to
be the first Sunday after Easter,
Carter said
The summer meeting, in July,
is at Kokomo. And leaders in the
association expect that Mountain
Top will become the site of the
annual fall meeting.
