2 Men Arrested
ly FBI For Death
Of Longview Hanj
FORT SMITH, Ark. Fort
Smith officers and FBI agents ar-
rested two men at a tourist court
here late Thursday on a charge of
beating James Waid, 30, to death
in Longview, Tex., last Saturday
and of robbing him and a com-
panion.
Officers identified the men as
Harry Davidson, charged __ with
murder, and Morris <Red> Smith,
charged with assault to murder
and robbery by assault.
The two waived extradition, and
officers were *n route Friday to
return them to Texas.
City Police Chief Jones Floyd
said he had been tipped that the
men were riding in a taxi toward
Arkansas. They were arrested
without violence.
Sheriff Noble Crawford said at
Longview the two men were in a
cafe between Longview and Glade-
water last Saturday when they
picked a fight with Ward, who
lived at White Oat in Gregg coun
ty. and J. C. Burges of Glade-
water.
"Both of the victims were much
smaller than these two guvs,'
Crawford said. "They beat them
up pretty bad Davidson continued
to fight outside. He stomped Ward
and beat his head against a gas
meter and against the door.
"About two hours later, a nurse
at the emergency ward of Gregg
Memorial hospital heard a car
drive up and then drive off a few-
minutes later without anyone's
coming in.
"She went out and found Ward's
body dumped there. Smith "was
there with him. When the nurse
went to a phone to call the hos- j
pita I porter to help get him to the ;
emergency room. Smith said "if |
you call the police I won't be here
when they get here'," Crawford
said.

around and left without identifying

Sunday will end a week of "Soil
Stewardship" and in places there
will be special observances in con
nection with soil conservation. In
this connection Father Richard
Lewis, rector of St. Andrews Epis-
copal Church, has written as fol-
lows:
The relationship between re-
ligion and agriculture is unbeliev-
ably close because it is completely
natural. The first vocation of man
recorded in Holy Scripture is that,
"The Lord God took the man and
put him in the Garden of Eden to
! dress it."
Somehow that expresses the re-
I lationship inherent to agriculture
to this day. "The earth is the
Lord's." Fundamentally, the plants.
I the grains, the trees, even the
I stock on our farms and ranches
are those which God made "each
after his own kind."
To some men He gave the
vision, the skill and the unbeliev-
able patience to work in the de-
velopment of the plants and trees
of the field and the orchard, and
• vith the farm animals* so that the
needs of mankind might be better
met with every generation.
But. men have not always re-
membered to whom the soil be-
longs, whence came its mixtures of
minerals, vegetable matter and
just plain mud. Men, in many in-
stances, have neglected the soil as
cavalierly as though it were their
very own, to treat as they pleased
In so doing we have sinned
against the soil, against mankind
and against God. For. the soil is
another of those "talents" which
the Divine King has entrusted to
the caie of His servants. His stew-
ards.
We are responsible to Him to in-
crease its value in terms of its
productivity. Failure to do so is
carelessness with Holy Things.
The soil is holy. It belongs to
God w ho holds us to account for its
care, that our children's children
may not lack for food, nor for soil
that they, too, may better for
those who will come after them.

H. S. Auditorium
A near capacity crowd of ap
proximately 800 attended the pro
duction of "Men Are Like Street
Cars," the Senior Class play, pre-
sented on Thursiday night at the
high school auditorium.
The three act comedy was adopt
ed for the stage by Christopher
Sergei from a nook of the same
name and was directed by Miss
Billie Ratliff.
The plot revolved around the
teen-age girl. Maudie, who prac-
ticed the idea that "men are like
street cars," if you miss one there
is sure to be another one soon."
Maudie put her belief into practice
until she almost hopelessly enraged
her parents, an older sister, and
the entire neighborhood
The BHS cast was led by Patsy
Pearson, who portrayed Maudie. as

age of nineteen w-as almost a

books, and the suitor for Sylvia
with Maudie's stamp of approval
was the bank president's son. Ted,
portrayed by Edwin Robertson.
However Sylvia had other ideas,
having been secretly in love with
the family fiiend, Jerry, played by
Wayne Gibhens. Other comic
scenes revolted around Maudie's

savage beating inflicted by Chinese
students who have terrorized Sin-

strike.
A police constable and a lfi-year-
