Fears Religious Respect Is Fading in Rural Virginia
In Blacksburg on July 16 the rural church conference opened at Virginia Tech. Dr. Minor C. Miller warned that respect for religion fades as rural church programs are neglected for public schools. Dr. Rolvin Harlan spoke on rural sociology and leader training shifts toward cities. Virginia Tech President Dr. Julian A. Burress urged that rural communities without churches are unthinkable, linking current depressions to rural life. He noted the McCormick day celebration on July 29 and compared McCormick joining his community church the same year as the reaper inventor.
