- Church offers free rides to worshippers.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: #56 CHURCH OFFERS FREE RIDES TO WORSHIPPERS Knoxville, Tenn. -- Each Sunday, eight buses go into the highways from the Bible Baptist Church here to pick up worshippers at the church as well as the children attending Sunday school. Each bus carries a placard "Bring Your Bible and Your Friend." The photo was taken as the church-goers were boarding the buses for home. Twenty buses now take people free to 11 churches of different denominations in Knoxville and then take them home after Sunday school and church. The idea has been gradually spreading nationally. It has the approval of ODT. Credit Line Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO

- Title
- Atomic energy harnessed.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: ATOMIC ENERGY HARNESSED #3643 Under direction of the War Department, the combined efforts of science, industry, and labor have culminated in the production of the atomic bomb, the most potent weapon in military history. Research and manufacture of the bomb was a closely guarded secret. Three plants, located in isolated areas of Tennessee, New Mexico, and Washington were so compartmentalized that workers had no knowledge of the finished product. On August 5th the first bomb was dropped on Japan and the secret revealed to the world. At Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a government-owned and operated city was established to accommodate construction workers, plant operators, and their immediate families, the city containing all religious, recreational, educational and all other facilities of a modern small city. Here is a view of a section of the town, a chapel in the foreground, business section and dormitories in the rear. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO

- Title
- "Irish Travelers" return to Memphis.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: ‘IRISH TRAVELERS’ RETURN TO MEMPHIS #c-3443 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- For 75 years bands of roving horse traders traveled through the South, descendants of Irish who had emigrated from County Mayo in the early 1800s. Although they were commonly referred to as gypsies, the more enlightened Southerners called them “Irish Travelers.” Each year they came to Memphis for one day to hold their weddings and funerals. Although the advent of the automobile saw many of them leave the road, they still follow the business of horse trading throughout many towns of the South -- and gather in Memphis once a year. Here five couples kneel before the altar of St. Thomas church in a quintuple wedding. The five couples are (left to right): John J. Riley and Ann Theresa Carroll; James Carroll and Ann Theresa Riley; John Costello and Marie Costello (no relation); John Costello, a first cousin of the previous John Costello, and Mary Marie Carroll; Thomas Nelson and Betty Riley. Youngest attendant at the wedding was eight-month-old “Red” Nelson. The oldest was his great-grandfather, 87-year-old “Red” Nelson, a son of one of the original immigrants.
