COLLEGE HEAD TALKS IN CITY Uses ‘The South In Transi tion’ As Theme Speaking on “The South in Transition,” Dr. Harold L. Trigg, president of St. Augustine’s col lege, Raleigh, addressed the Com munity council at its quarterly meeting held at the Community center. The speaker was nitroduced by H. A. Marks, president of the Community Chest. Rabbi Samuel I. Friedman, president of the Community council, presided. Doctor Trigg stated that much progress has been made in the southern states in recent years in the field of race relations. The new approach to race problems, he said, has shifted emphasis from race to resources. ‘Here, in the south, ’’said Doc tor Trigg, “we have untapped natural resources which, if pro perly developed, can bring the good things *f life to people in all races and economic circum stances. Here, too, in the field of han relationships, we can, through education, overcome the barriers of prejudice which pre vent the democratic process from functioning daily.” JUST ARRIVED! 2 Burner Kenmore Kerosene Heater Doors Open For Cooking 25-95 3.00 Down Balance Monthly A fine Kenmore that doubles as heater and stove.

Dial 2-2621 SNAKE HANDLING MOVES TO W-S Attorney General’s Office Advises Forsyth Officials Of Remedy RALEIGH, Nov. 7—(*>)—'The state attroney general’s office today advised Forsyth county Attorney Nat S. Crews of what it believed a lawful method pre venting activities of snake-cult handling. Crews today asked assistance of the attorney general’s office with the advent of a group of snake handlers who now are operating within a short distance of Winston-Salem corporate limits. Assistant Attorney General T. i Wade Burton advised Crews ; that a law giving county boards of health responsibility of health 'interests may provide a solution. I This law permits boards of i health to make rules governing I health interests of the counties. Violations of such rules carries a penalty of $50 fine or 30-day imprisonment. “I am not sure this will cover! the problem,” Burton admitted, j “But it seems to me that snake handling is not a very healthy thing.” ! Durham city officials recently passed an ordinance against snake-handling services after a cult began practicing the handl ing of snakes.
