Major James Edden, pastor at Indian Camp Gap, Pa., arrived with Mrs. Edden on September 20 by PAA, to spend a week with his grandmother in Nassau. He served as chaplain in World War 11, and also in Korea. A Studebaker truck swerved into the Best Ever Ice Cream Company’s building on East St. on Saturday, Sent. 20, and crush ed two bicycles. The truck seem ingly had a blow out. Mayaguana is having a little wage problem. The natives had been raising their foodstuff for years. Then came along the Mc- Donald Construction Co., con tractors for the Guided Missile in stallations. The company is said to pay good wages, but food had to be bought from Nassau, and the cost of living went wild. The laborers have a grievance which the Chief Out Island Commission er and the Laison Officer to the Governor, on September 18, flew from Nassau to Mayaguana to in vestigate. On Sunday the Rev. C. H. Thompson, pastor of Transfigura tion Baptist Church, celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordi nation to the ministry. His pas torate at Transfiguration has been very successful. From a few members the congregation has grown to more than 600. Besides his labors as pastor, Rev.

He is also moderator of the Bahamas South ern Baptist Association which comprises several churches in New Providence and the Out Islands.

Christopher Neely, 68, after a long illness, died at the Prospect Hospital on September 20. A native of Spanish Wells, Mr. Neely was a ” —of choice fruit and vegetable near the Public Buildings. Two daughters and 8 granchildren survive him. TO WHAT END? A number of young Bahamians left for the United States to begin college work this term. There are others studying in different parts of the country and still others in the schools in the United King dom and in Canada. These young people represent a promising in vestment in manhood and wo manhood which we hope will pay good dividends in the future. When we returned home 22 years ago we began to preach the need for engendering greater love for knowledge advocated the pol icy of popularizing education. To that end we conducted free even ing school for the illiterate and under privileged, that ran for months at a time. First in the Elks’ Auditorium under the sponsorship of the,, now extinct Citizen’s Union, then later in the Western Senior School under the Central Committee of the South a group of citizens or ganized by us to act as a study ing advisory and consultative body in the Southern District to aid the representatives of the dis trict. Perhaps too, many will re member the Bahamas Technical Institute conducted by us and which gave evening instruction in advanced elementary school work and high school subjects. It will be retailed how the fees fctita this schosl when fees were charged in the beginning and much of our private funds were SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1952 snent in reclaiming land on Blue Hill Road boardering Big Pond which was taken back for a dump and later taken over by the Air Ministry as part of the enclosure for the base, It was hoped that the land reclaimed would have been developed into a campus for the school. After the school was discontinued we gave free private instruction for coaching for col lege entrance. Through these means and the public platform we tried to encourage the fur thering of education for our youth beyond the local secondary schools. Todar we can say that there is now a steady stream of stu dents going abroad to study. As in the past some will return, some will not, but in all of this effort it should be remembered that the passing of examinations, does not mean the acquisition of an education. There should be evi dence of mental attainment with the development of a spirit of ser vice and cooperation from a point of view in keeping with national approach to the social problems of the day. It is no secret that some have developed ideas that savour of monstrocity. Some seem to suffer from psychoses which tend to detract from their oppor tunity to render of their best to their community and country. It is to be hoped that the future will bring increasing benefits to .our community from the concerted labours of all of our people. NEGRO PUPILS EXCEED WHITE IN CHARLESTON CHARLESTON, S.C.
