Organize Christian Brotherhood The men of the Methodist church and Bible school have organized Christian Brotherhood, which will work to the end of making the town of Greenwood and vicinity a better place to live. The matter arose as there was no Rotary or Kiwanis club here, that there should be something to do the work which such organiza tions do for other places, and more. At a meeting held at the church last Friday, October 20, the organization was perfected that had been talked of for some time. A program was arranged for this meeting with good speakers, the prin cipal one being Dr. Mays, pastor of the Second Methodist church of Lin coin, who outlined a plan for the or ganization of the proposed Brother hood. A supper was also served, and at the conclusion, twenty-seven sign ed the list, and from this number the officers were elected, they being: H. E. Warren, superintendent of Green wood schools, president; Warren A, White, of the firm of White & Buck nell, vice president, and Ben Conley, secretary-treasurer. All are a very fine set of gentlemen and should pro vide the new organization with the right kind of officers. Some forty have now signified their desire of becoming charter members and it is confidently expected that the charter roll will be signed by half a hundred men of the community by the time. of the next meeting, which is set for the second Thursday of November. The purpose of this organization is to work with the church in the fur thering of work beneficial to the town and to the upbuilding of the commun ity as well as the church, to make all newcomers welcome to the town and aid them to feel at home in the church of their preference, in short to make them welcome citizens of the new Greenwood.

"Is based on the responsibilities devolv ing on the navy as the first line of our defense, upon the obligation of our government to safeguard the commerce of our citizens against seizure and destruction In very wide ly scattered places and upon the fur ther fact that we have sought to set the example of refusing to enter into competition in the ho'pe and the be lief that this policy will promote and facilitate just limitation in the fu ture."

America was well embarked upon the Roose velt policy of higher prices through a managed currency Wednedsay night with the "commodity markets responding strongly to the economic stimulus of the program. High government officials met and fixed the price of Reconstruction Corp. purchases of newly mined gold at 131.36, a figure 27 to 36 cents higher than the price paid on the London Exchange. Then, they sat bajck to watch the results. They were pleasing. Commodities led a general ad vance. Wheat was three to three and one-quarter cents higher. Corn gain ed two to three cents. All stock groups closed firmly one to five points higher. The theory behind Mr. Roosevelt's idea was that, by raising the price of domestic gold above world prices, he could influence domestic commodity quotations upward. The basis of the latter, economists pointed out, was gold despite America'3 departure from the gold standard. Announce Price Daily. For the present, it was said on good authority, the economic factors involved in the plan will be reviewed daily, and each morning the day's gold price will be announced. This did not mean, it was added, that the quotation would necessarily change from day to day, as it might be deemed advisable in certain cir cumstances to let one price stand. Wednesday's figure was set by Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the RFC, Henry Morgenthau jr., representing the president, and Dean Aicheson, act ing secretary of the treasury. The three met at 9:40 a. m., re ceived foreign exchange quotations and the London gold rate. After short deliberation, newsmen were called and Jones read the following state ment: "The Reconstruction Finance Corp. will accept subscriptions today for its 90-day debentures payable in newly mined gold, recovered from natural deposits in the United States and any territory subject to its jurisdic tion at the rate of $31.36 per ounce of fine gold." New Departure. The method of payment brought a new departure in RFC financing. In the past, the corporation has ob tained cash by selling the debentures, unsecured bonds, to the treasury. The gold transactions carried the deben tures to the general public for the first time. Jones said the gold mining indus try could easily convert them into cash. Meanwhile, treasury experts worked on a plan under which deben tures would be Issued at a premium sufficient to icover a bank's discount ing charge, so sellers of the gold might receive the full announced purchase price. The 131.36 price compared with a London price that fluctuated from 131.00 to $31.09, as the foreign ex change value of the dollar in pounds changed during the day. It was disclosed President Roose velt had no immediate intention of carrying out the .second section of his "managed currency plan." This involves buying and selling gold on the European market with a result ing Influence on foreign exchange. Mr. Roosevelt's gold policy, as out lined in his address Sunday night, is first of all to restore prices to a level that would give the farmer and man ufacturer profitable prices and thus encourage business expansions with a consequent increase of employment. When that objective has been attain ed, he said, the next step would be to so stabilzle the dollar that Its purchasing and debt paying power would not change through the en suing generation.

Mrs. Muriel McCor mick Huppard of Middletown, Conn., charged in a supreme court action filed Wednesday that her grand father, John D.

Under terms of the trust fund after the change was made, Mrs. Hubbard asserted, the late Mrs. McCormick could not bequeath the fund to her children outright.
