  • Hit at Gas Hearing in Censorship Fight
    Mileage Estimates By C-Book Drivers Hit at Gas Hearing The blame for much of the gaso- line rationing problem was laid to- day at the door of the C-book holder who. according to an Office of Price Administration official, overestimates his actual mileage traveled in essential business. Testifying before a House Inter- state Commerce Subcommittee in- vestigating gasoline black markets. Charles F. Phillips, director of the Automotive Supply Rationing Divi- sion of OPA, asserted that “our greatest problem is getting Mr. and Mrs. John Jones to apply for only what they need and to stop at that point." The official admitted, under ques- tioning by Representative Brown, Republican, of Ohio, that many per- sons overestimate their require- ments because they feel ration boards* will cut their requests in many cases. Mr. Phillips also ad- mitted that many automobiles to- day are not getting 15 miles to the gallon, the yardstikc used by the OPA in issuing rations. Boards can make adjustments, however, if it can be proved their mileage is down, he said. Fair Share Demanded. Mr. Brown commented that it was “an old American custom" to want to get a fair share of things. Mr. Phillips replied that he had heard that that was the custom. Meanwhile the OPA. reporting aome progress in its drive against gasoline black markets, announced there was no increase in illicit diversion of fuel during the last month and declared “this fact alone Is a heartening achievement.” The scene in Washington Cathedral today as the Right the sermon which preceded the consecration of Bishop Dun Daily drain from legitimate use Rev.

The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

  • Sewanee Alumni News, 1952
    ALUMNI NEWS February 15, 1952 Volume XVIII, No. 1 ti / r / V \ Ofhe Vice-chancellors Vage The University extends sincerest thanks to the nine hundred seventy-six alumni who have con- tributed during 1951 to the Alumni Fund, or to the Guerry Memorial Campaign, or to both. According to the latest tabulation your total contribution to these two funds for the year was $214,879.39 in cash and pledges. This is ex- tremely encouraging. You will be interested to know that a total of $725,000 in cash and pledges was raised for the building fund toward $900,000 needed by De- cember thirty-first, in order to obtain a bonus of $100,000 from an anonymous donor. The donor has been good enough to extend his time limit until Easter Day, which is April thirteenth this year. We must raise $175,000 between now and then in order to take advantage of his offer and provide for the cost of the two buildings now going up—Gailor Memorial and Gorgas Hall. The latter, which is the new dormitory at the Academy, has just had its name chosen in honor of the Academy's first Superintendent, the Uni- versity's second Vice-Chancellor, and his son, who has become, perhaps, Sewanee's best-known alum- nus. We all have reason to be extremely thankful for the many blessings which have come to Se- wanee during the year 1951. We have obtained stone dormitory (Shapard Hall), and virtual as- an Air Force ROTC which is working out splen- surance of money enough for a new stone deanery didly.
