Southwest Hems ^
Will Be Featured
During "Sears Days"
The semi-annual "Sears Days"
event will open at the Sears, Roe-
buck and Co., store here Thursday,
manager E. R. Atkinson announced
Wednesday, and called attention
to the number of Southwestern-
made items being featured throu-
ghout the store.
More than two years ago, Atkin-
son said, Sears opened a buying
office in Dallas, with the major ob-
jective of developing Southwestern
merchandise sources.
"Since that time," Atkinson said,
"we have increased our purchases
by 46 per cent in the Southwest.
This program helps in many ways,
but primarily because it provides
additional employment and be-
cause it enables us to sell goods
for less money, since transporta-
tion costs are lower on these in-
state purchases."
Purchases from all sources in
the Southwestern area, Including
Texas, part of Arkansas, part of
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New
Mexico, totalled more than $81,000-
000 in sales value in 1953, Atkinson
explained. Nearly 1,000 manufac-
tures were used to produce this
amount of goods for Sears.

sicians and ministers at the First

Jaycees Hear Talk
By Rev. Harnest
"Religion is the most talked
about subject in the country," Rev.
Charles Harnest told the .layers
i at their regular Wednesday meet-
| ing at the Blue Bonnet Hotel.
Rev. Harnest, who is pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church
here, went on to tell the Jaycees
that people had a variety of ideas
i as to what the church stood for.
He explained that to some it
| meant a building and to others it
i meant an organization which all
the good people in town belonged
; to. Rev. Harnest said that th^*-e
was a need for a re-examination\if
ideas. "The church is a living or-
I ganism," he said, "The nation of
God"
He went on to say that the
[ church served two major functions
to society. He said that these were
to "conserve the values of society"
J and "to witness what is true in the
j community."
Rev. Harnest called the Bible
the "most practical book in all the
| world." He explained, however,
that few people knew the BlfcTe
, well. He cited an example of a
j test given the Phi Beta Kappa
J graduates of a major university
and related that only four of the
number pased the relatively easy
test.
Rev. Harnest was introduced by
! .lack Merrick. President Bob Law
presided at the meeting.
L. M. Hubbard and C. B. Bry-
ant were guests and Bernie Haw-
ley introduced W. J. "Bill" Lewis
[ as a new member of the club. 4
President Law announced a
! committee to make plans for the
bi-regional convention which will
be held here in the early part of
next year.
James Staton and James Trant-
liam will be co-chairman of the
group which also includes George
Leonard, Moe Reich, Lingo
Brown, and Jean Dereberry.
Law also announced two coming
events in adjoining cities.
A workers' conference will ffe
held in Colorado City on Wednes-
day, November 3. at 7:30 p. m.
Guest speaker at the latter event
will be Lamar Buckner, the na-
tional president of the Jaycees.

WILSON
(Continued From Page It
Wilson's statement is accurate, he
missed a fine opportunity to keep
a civil foot in his mouth."
Wilson was defended by JcAn
Feikens, chairman of the Michi-
gan GOP state central commit-
tee. who said he would match the
defense secretary's concern for the
jobless against Reuther's any
time. He termed the Democratic
charges "sheerest demagoguery."
Vice President Richard M. Nix-
"deeds are more important then
words." He said the Eisenhower
administration "wants the unem-
ployed to know it is directly con-
cerned with their plight."
