Pepper Ouster Suggested by Florida Group MIAMI, Fla.

(AP)-The Miami Herald said today the Associated Industries of Florida had circulated a mimeographed bulletin to its 500 members throughout the State asking if action should be taken "to have Senator Pepper removed from the Senate." The bulletin, published at the organization's headquarters in Jacksonville, was signed by President C. G. McGehee and Executive Vice President Ted Bayley. It said in part: "It has come to our attention that a Statewide movement is under way to have Senator Pepper removed from the Senate. The members of the Senate and members of the House have complete authority to seat.

refuse to seat. or unseat their own members while it is not possible to 'recall' Senator Pepper in the same manner as a State officer can be recalled, there is some evidence that if enough of our citizens from various parts of the State would address a letter to the president of the Senate expressing disapproval of Senator Pepper, that some definite action may result. Suggest Impeachment Bill "The Honorable John S. Wood, a member of Congress from Georgia, has. already indicated that he would a bill in the House of Representatives to have Senator Pepper impeached.

"Rep. Wood made this statement because of Senator Pepper's action in advising a group of socalled 'liberal' people from Hollywood to refuse to answer questions of the House committee on un-American activities." "This association has taken no official action but we are bringing the matter to your attention and if you feel that we should take any action please give us your suggestions as to how we should proceed." Senator Pepper was reported on a hunting trip in Florida and could not be reached for comment. In Jacksonville. Bayley said the bulletin had been circulated its members as a "matter of information." The association is an organization of businessmen. Bayley said.

VEA Teacher Salary Plan Endorsed by More Clubs Two more Roanoke area civic organizations yesterday, pledged their support to an equitable tax program to support pay boosts a and other benefits for teachers, as proposed by the Virginia Education association, when the Woman's club of Roanoke and the Williamson Road Lions club approved resolutions asking the governor and General Assembly to appropriate sufficient funds to meet the salary scale. The Roanoke Lions club has already made similar recommendations. Lack of Teachers The Williamson Road Lions pointed out in their resolution that the State's educational problems are "caused and intensified by an extreme lack of an adequate supply of well qualified teachers" and urged that the 1948 General Assembly "be requested to take positive remedial steps to improve this situation." Copies will be sent to Gov. W. M.

Tuck and other members of the legislature. In two additional resolutions the woman's club asked the government to include adequate funds in the budget for the State's public assistance needs and recommended to City Council that necessary funds be appropriated for proper operation of city departments under present increased costs. The resolutions were sented by Mrs. Claude G. Brice, preeducation chairman.

The latter resolution, which will be presented to city council Monday, states that the club believes funds to provide needed services "can be secured only through the necessary assessment of taxation" and that "substantially increased sums can be realized by a true and accurate assessment of personal property." The document states that the club "believes that public education, health, recreation, welfare, and court facilities for with delinquent children and family problems must not retrogress but should be improved," and it recognizes that "as the cost of living has increased substantially for individuals, so has Navy to Announce Permanent Ranks New permanent appointments for all naval reserve officers on inactive duty will be announced soon, headquarters of the Fifth naval district in Norfolk reported today. These appointments will be the first promotions in permanent rank made since June 30, 1942, when all permanent promotions were suspended for the duration of the war. The permanent rank to which each officer will be promoted will be either that of the highest temporary rank in which he served satisfactorily while on active duty or one rank lower. However, they will continue to hold their higher temporary ranks while in the naval reserve. Reserve officers will become eligible for future promotion as their regular navy contemporaries become eligible, and their promotion will be subject to certain training requirements and, in some ranks, to selection by Selection Boards.

The regular navy contemporaries are those regular navy officers who, on October 1, 1945, held the same unrestricted temporary rank and date of rank as the reserve officer. Information as to when the permanent appointments will be delivered will be announced later, the district commandant said. TONITE 12 MIDNITE The Williamson Road Life Saving Crew Presents STACEY'S VARIETY MINSTREL SHOW HARRY WITHERS--Interlocutor 2 Full Hours of Laughter and Fun from our stage DOORS OPEN AT 11:30 P. M. ADMISSION 50c Bus Service After the Show The entire proceeds go to the Williamson Road Life Saving Crew the cost of operation of the city materially increased." The group is urging council "to appropriate necessary funds for the proper operation of city departments to insure the continuation of present services and to meet needs as recommended by boards and department heads and the city manager, and to insure the continuation in the city employ of faithful and competent city employees." Service Inadequate The resolution on the State's assistance needs points to the report of the Mitchell commission of publif welfare, which it states "indicates that the minimum needs of persons who unemployable because of blindness, physical disability, and old age are inadequately met, and that state and local services to dependent, neglected and delinquent children are woefully inadequate." Further, it expresses belief that "such conditions are substantial contributors to the high rate of crime that exists in Virginia," and declares the club will support any equitable tax program necessary to support the public assistance needs of Virginia and to provide adequate services on a local and state level for the handling of dependent, neglected, and delinquent children.

Mrs. Gertrude Floyd was struck and killed by a car driven Coffey near here August 9. GM Establishes Insurance Plan For 359,000 DETROIT (AP) General Motors Corp. today announced a new "substantially improved" multi-million dollar group insurance plan for 359.000 production and office employes.

President C. E. Wilson said the plan would add "millions of dollars in benefits" for employes. He described it as "one of the most advanced moves of its kind yet undertaken by industry." It becomes effective Feb. 1, 1948, replacing an insurance plan first inaugurated 21 years ago.

The new plan, as explained by Wilson, deals only with insurance and does not concern itself with retirement pension demands as outlined by the CIO United Auto Workers. Instead, the insurance plan is intended to give each employe coverage equal to a year's base pay and provide sickness and accident benefits for a longer maximum period than at present. Employes past 65 years of age retain a portion of the insurance at no further cost to themselves, and any employe leaving after the age of 60 may continue part of his insurance until death. Additional payments for sickness and accident are provided, Wilson said, amounting to as much as per cent of the life insurance with a $4.000 limit. Permanently disabled employes below the age of 60, who have been under the plan for 15 or more years, may have the insurance paid him in 50 monthly installments.

During that period, he is not required to continue payments and receives $500 additional life insurance at no cost for as long as the disability continues. Wilson did not divulge the cost of the new insurance to employes but said it will be "extremely low." General Motors will contribute all of the net cost over and above the employes' contributions plus administration costs.

John 14:6 In the New Testament Christianity is spoken of as "the way." In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus speaks of two ways, one a "broad way," the other a narrow way. "The broad way leads to destruction." The "narrow way" "leadeth unto life." Matt. Jesus followed this teaching by a warning concerning false prophets who mislead people and therefore caused them to enter and follow the broad way that leads to ruin. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov.

14:12. Paul, an apostle of Christ, writes of "a more excellent way." I Cor. 12:13. When we examine the context we find it is "the way" of love and it is evident our love must be directed towards God and our fellow man. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself." Mark Love, (the excellent way) is not simply a matter of the emotions, for Jesus teaches us.

that hath 771 commandments and keepeth them. he it is that loveth me." John 14:21. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." Jas. 2:10. We enter this "more excellent way," "the way, the truth and the life." by entering Jesus Christ.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature. Old things passed away, behold are become new." II Cor. 5:17. "For we are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, for as many of V01L as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Gal. Thus we are in "the way" that leads to life and eternal glory.

M. and 7:30 P. M. Corner Jefferson and Franklin Road, uptown WASHINGTON (AP) James J. Jim" Davis, who came to America as the seven-year-old son of poor Welsh immigrants and rose to become secretary of labor and senator from Pennsylvania, died early today of a kidney ailment.

Davis had been sick for several months, and had been in nearby Tacoma Park sanitarium since September. He was 74 years old. Largely self -educated, Davis started to work in a Sharon, steel mill as his father's helper when he still was in his early teens. When he was 16, he became a steel "puddler'-a job of which he was proud for the rest of his life, and which earned him his nickname. Davis later moved to Elwood.

and there, as a member of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, first entered politics. At about the same time, he joined the Loyal Order of the Moose, becoming -general in 1906, and holding that position until his death. He was appointed secretary of labor by President Harding in 1921. Nine years later, after serving under Presidents Coolidge and Hoover, he quit to accept appointment as Republican senator from Pennsylvania. Defeated in 1944 He was re-elected for full sixyear terms in 1932 and 1938, but was defeated in a close race in 1944 by, the present senator, Francis J.

Myers, a Democrat. After his defeat, in Washington, devoting most of his time to the order of the Moose, particularly its children's home and school in Mooseheart, Ill. Working with John Meikle, a graduate of school, Davis was engaged at the time of his death in raising a $10,000,000 endowment for Mooseheart. About 500,000 had been collected when he died. As a member of the Senate during most of Franklin Roosevelt's presidential tenure, Davis was often extremely critical of New Deal policy.

Davis' wife, the former Jean Rodenbaugh of Pittsburgh, died in James J. Davis 1940. He had four daughters, Jewel and Jean--who lived with him in -Jane, of New York City and Joan, of Gaithersburg, Md. He also had one son, James, a lawyer in Philadelphia. To break your dog of the habit of jumping in greeting, hold his front paws and walk him backward for a few steps.
