The Most Important Day In The Year
TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY. This is a strange name
to apply to the day that commemorates the
greatest tragedy in the history of the world.
Authorities claim ill was named because the ’
event of the crucifixion was the supreme sacrifice
of all time and its message grows each year with
new meaning and new hope.
“I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto myself.”
Before the eyes of man he was lifted up and
Easter became the most important day in the year
for Christians.
“He is risen” is the keynote that gives the
world hope that some day there will be no more
wars, no more nation against nation, no more conflict
between one man and his neighbor. The miracle of
rebirth brings hope to one and all, just as death is
the end of birth, so is birth the end of death.
Japanese Climbers Get
Washington Auto Test
SEATTLE, UP) — Automobile
drivers’ license tests nearly
grounded an expedition of Japa
nese mountain climbers yester
day.
“iMy knowledge (of English), it
is small,” protested Akira Yama
moto, 22, after paying his $2 fee.
His four companions nodded, “Ah,
so.”
The five young Waseda Univer
sity students from Tokyo arrived
toy ship on their world-wide at
tempt to “scale a mountain a
continent.” They have climbed
South America’s Aconcagua and
Africa’s Kilimanjaro. The next:
Alaska’s 20,270-ft. Mt. McKinley.
They left their small Japanese
made automobile at the dock and
were taken to the Automobile
Club, then to the State Patrol of
fices. Interpreters and language
dictionaries solved the difficulties.
They plan the McKinley ascent
next month. Later they will drive
across Canada to New York and
back to the West Coast, and need
the drivers’ permits.
THE TWAIN DID MEET
LOS ANGELES, Ufi — Sixteen
year-old Beverly Hagen and Tho
mas Emtorey, 17, friends, decided
to take their driver’s license test.
In separate cars, they were
driving around the block in sub
urban Bellflower Thursday.
Beverly went east and Tom
went west. Then the twain met,
head-on.
Only their driving reputations
were injured in the minor mishap.
They’ll try the test again.
New Niagara Slides Feared
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., (R —
Large cracks at the crest of the
American Falls have stirred fears
of a third major rockslide that
could crumble a section about the
size of a football field.
The first slide, in 1954, tumbled
185,000 tons of rock over Pros
pect Point. In 1956, a 120,000-ton
slide destroyed most of a power
station, killing one man.

Sen. Buckalew Withdraws
From Race For Seat
Vacated by Moody
ANCHORAGE, UP) —Sen. Sea
born J. Buckalew said Wednesday
he will not run for the at-large
Senate seat vacated by Atty. Gen.
Ralph Moody.
Buckalew had considered run
ning for the seat, but after talk
ing to Rep. Helen Fischer, who
is seeking that position, Bucka
lew decided not to seek the nom
ination.
Mrs. Fischer is now the only
avowed candidate for the post.
“If I run, I’ll run for the seat
I’ve got now — the Anchorage
Palmer-Wasilla Senate District.”'
he said.
He added, “I like the way Helen
votes, When I found out she
wants Moody’s post, I decided
that’s fine with me. She’ll be an
asset in the Senate.”
Candidates seeking Moody’s seat
will not run in the primary, as
the new attorney general resigned
from the Senate less than a month
before the May 2 deadline for
filing.
Instead, they will be chosen by
the South Central District Com
mittee. Eaoh precinct chairman
and the four officers of the com
mittee will cast one vote for their
choice. The winner will go into
the Nov. 8 general election.

Of Administration To
Create 1.200 New Jobs

1,200 new government jobs were
denied 'by the House Appropria
tions Committee in an $8,142,223,
900 omnibus money bill for the
year starting July 1.
The proposed new positions
would have been scattered thru
more than a score of miscellan
eous agencies whose appropria
toins are provided in the bill.
New funds approved were $270’,
720,600 less than President Eisen
hower had requested but were
$1,108,360,200 more than the same
agencies were given for the cur
rent year ending June 30.

Veterans Administration, 60 mil
lion dollars for airline subsidies,

Eisenhower had requested fin
ancing for about 8,200 new jobs
in the various agencies, the big
gest increases being 5,025 for the

ics and Space Administration. The

A dear elderly Russian woman
who came to the United States 50
years ago, died while she was
paying her taxes. She suffered a
heart attack in the Hall of Justice,
and Records at Redwood City,
Calif., and authorities found this
last will and testament in her
purse:
“I give all the property of which
I die possessed to my Uncle Sam
of America, who was help me to
adopt me. I was so happy to live
in America. I gratitude to only
Uncle Sam and he will know what
to do with my property.”
We may smile at her grammar
and spelling; but we know, as did
Uncle Sam, just what she meant.
The heart’s desire is what is most
I important, and this is true in spiri
tual matters too. After a person
has been saved by faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, he is exhorted
to present his body “a living sac
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God.”
(Romans 12:1). He may not be able
to do it in a manner understood
toy others, but the Lord will un
derstand and accept the sacrifice
through his Son.
One hymn writer wrote of this:
“Naught that I have, mine own
I’ll call,
I’ll hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life,
my all,
Are His and His for ever.”
Another one wrote in these few
words . . .
“Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.”

De Gaulle Will
Shun U. N. On
New York Visit
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., OPI—
Charles De Gaulle, with little af
fection for the United Nations,
will shun its headquarters when
he visits New York April 26.
This will make him the first
head of a major nation to bypass
this enclave.
A Paris spokesman said the
French president will not visit
the U.N. because the Assembly is
not in session. The implication is
he might have considered a speech
there.
Informed sources say De Gaulle
has nothing against Dag Ham
marskjold, U. N. Secretary Gen
eral, and in fact will receive him
at De Gaulle’s hotel.
The United Nations itself is an
other matter. French relations
with the organization have been
strained for years.
The principal sore points for
France:
U.N. discussion of the indepen
dence movements in Morocco, Tu
nisia and Algeria, all of which
France contended were her in
ternal affairs.
Speedy U.N. action after the
British - French invasion of the
Suez Canal in 1956, and a lack
of strong measures against the
Soviet Union for intervening in
the Hungarian revolt of the same
year.
