Favor Prohibition It went on record as supporting the 18th amendment, asking that “all churches exercise every influence pos- sible to not only strengthen the en- forcement of the law, but also to champion the 18th amendment in our kero The course which chug.a members should take is clear if prohi- bition is to be retained in our na- tional and state life. “Every reasonable effort should be made to encourage our people to vote for dry members of congress and to oppose repeal at the coming election This also applies and perhaps more forcibly to the retention in our state constitution of the prohibition clause which an initiated clause seeks to re- move. “Be it resolved that this Synod put itself on record as strongly opposed to the elimination of the prohibition clause from our state constitution. Ws call upon Christian people to stamp their ballots at the coming election, 50 that all may know that this basic law of our state is to be upheld. “Purther, it is important that col- Yeges should give instruction of fac- tual and historical nature concerning the liquor problem. Students will, as members of the professions and as citizens and parents, have wrestled with this probiem which has perplex- ed many generations of their forbears. ‘The Board of Christian Education is to be commended for its efforts to have courses dealing with this prob- lem offered by the colleges. Notes Eeconomic Stress “The Synod of North Dakota takes special notice of the economic stress under which many families and indi- viduals are laboring. We urge upon ali our pastors and members the duty of kindly Christian sympathy for those who are poverty stricken and those who are unemployed. We can carry the tidings of salvation to the unfortunate ones only when we make sufferings ours. newe recommend that every church make a careful survey of its member- ship to determine to how great an ex- tent people may need this special “ministry. No field offers more fertile ground for evangelism of the highest Rie recommend that to an un- usually liberal degree the people in cur churches engage in sacrificial giving and sharing of time, energy and substance, that suffering may be alleviated and the Christian bond of love be made stronger.” Mrs, Agnes Bell Snively, Pitts- burgh, Pa., representative of the na- tional mission board, and Miss Annie Burr, Bisrgarck, state president, were the principal speakers at the closing sessions of the Synodical society. Mrs. Snively's topic was “Urgent Needs,” and she gave facts to prove the importance and benefits of mis- sion work both in home and foreign fields. Miss Burr delivered her an- nual message to the Synodic: Synodical Resolutions Resolutions presented by the com- mittee, Mrs. Grace Franklyn, Mrs. W. L. Tennis and Mrs. W. K. Sher- win, and adopted by the society were: “That the Synodical of North Da- kota transfer its interest and pledges from Emerson Institute, Blackville, S. C., to Coulter Memorial Academy, Cheraw, 8. C., as Emerson is to be closed. “We recommend that our Christian colleges stress temperance instruc- tion. “We recommend that each mission- ary society with the church session be responsible for a young people's counselor. ‘We recommend that a representa- ive of the mission board or a mis- ionary be sent to each Presbytery for visitation, and to. each church within the bounds of that Presby- tery. ‘We suggest that the term ‘Chris- tian Education’ be used in place of religious education. “That the board send at least one missionary to our Presbyterial meet- ings. change be made to accommo- date our rural conditions in the sys- tem of the mission study course which now requires. six members and four meetings per year. “That the present method of rat- ing membership is impracticable. “We recommend that the biennial meet as usual. “We recommend the stressing of the use of the word Presbyterian in our organizations.” The pageant, “America Grows Up,” ‘was presented by young people of the Bismarck Presbytery at a joint meet- ing of the Synod and Synodical Fri- day night.

Jean Chapple of Bathgate, N. D., is the “queen of the homecoming.” Al- though she was elected two weeks ago by homecoming committees, her iden- tity had been kept secret up to this time. With her attendant, Patricia Ebert of Minneapolis, Miss Chapple occu- Pied the position of honor in the an- nual homecoming parade which form- ed shortly after 10 a. m. and proceed- ed through the downtown business district. With four bands, uniformed groups. state and city officials, university ad- ministrators and other notables in the Parade, together with floats repre- senting fraternities and sororities and downtown organizations, thousands of Grand Forks residents viewed the procession.

Approximately 100 of the “old grads” joined with university faculty members and officials in a “reminis- cing session” at the annual alumni dinner marking the official opening of the homecoming celebration. While the alumni dined and heard talks by university and state officials as well as prominent Nodak gradu- ates, hundreds of Nodak students gathered ‘round a bonfire on the cam- pus for rally with cheering, singing and music by the University band. Then the band and merry-making students were® taken downtown in chartered streetcars for another pep rally. Approximately 500 townspeople assembled for the session.

The only way Valley City could ad- vance was via the aerial route and several short passes were completed. The play was in Valley City terri- tory throughout the game. Mandan’s first score came when an exchange of punts landed the ball on the Valley City one-yard line and an attempt to punt was blocked, Joe Stumps falling on the ball for a touchdown. Mandan’s other two scores came on forward passes, a lateral pass fol- lowed by a forward pass to Ferderer netted the second touchdown and a Jong pass to Byerly brought the third. A star of the contest was Phorr of. the Hi-liners who, although less than five feet tall and weighing only 145 pounds, was in every play.

ND, RATE EXPERT RAPS RATE BOOST Hendricks Opposes Railroad Proposal to Increase Charges on Livestock the livestock rates from and to North Dakota was expressed by E. M. Hen- dricks, traffic expert for the state railroad commission in arguments be- fore the Interstate Commerce Com- mission in Washington Friday, ac- cording to information received here. Hendricks argued in the re-opened livestock rate case that the present rates are maximum reasonable rates and that “under no circustanmces should they be increased.” “In fact,” he said, “the present) rates are too high considering the lew prices received by farmers.” The railroads’ application for a 20 Per cent increase in rates, or any in- crease, Hendricks told the federal commission, should be promptly de- nied. : He stressed the low prices being re- ceived for farm commodities and said that an increase in rates would work @ great hardship on farmers of the state. The increase, as proposed by the carriers. Hendricks contended, would make the farm situation more serious. Under the present rates, he said, a large volume of livestock is now being trucked to market and any increase in the rates will tend to deprive the railroads of livestock tonnage.

Statute Creates Difficulty For Relief Program | Fargo, N. D., Oct. 15.—(#)—North Dakota farmers who owe money to the federal government for feed and seed loans may be barred from tak- ing advantage of President Hoover's relief program for those borrowers who find it difficult to repay at the Present time, because of? the law Passed in this state at the June-pri- maries which outlaws crop mortgages. One of the regulations announced by federal officials as requisite when borrowers desire to take advantage of the relief program and delay re- Payments on these loans to future years, Fargo experts pointed out read: “Not being in position to determine at this time just what renewal con- gress will require borrowers must put themselyes in position to comply when congress definitely acts, deliver to the secretary of agriculture a first lien on the 1933 crops. Fargoans, have initiated another measure which would in effect repeal that law and return to the farmer his right to mortgage his growing crop if he desires. That measure, if Passed at the general election in No- vember, would remove the restriction. Farm Strike Chief Issues Ultimatum Minn., Fairmont, Oct. 15.—(P)— | Declaring that “one thousand men are ready to corral Fairmont and every village in Martin county,” Mar- tin J. Helvig, president of the Mar- tin County Holiday association, Sat- urday threatened to order picketing if buyers of farm produce do not stop business during the farm strike.
