In st. Johns church yesterday 1t was
announced by Rev. F.. j. Melley. the
pastor, that a fair would be held dur
ing the Christmas holidays under the
auspices of the congregation. To put
the movement in definite shape
meeting of the male members of the
parish was held in the church base
ment hall last night. 1t was attended
by the major portion Of the men. and
was presided over by School Controller
John Gibbons.
The work incident to conducting the
responsible and arduous task was en-
tered into by all present with enthu-
siasm. Committees and sub-commit-
tees were appointed and various details
were discussed. The men who will
surround Father Melley in the under
taking are indefatigable workers in
every good cause in which their SER
vices are enlisted.
The money to be realized from the
fair will be put into the fund for the
proposed new church which the con-
gregation of st. Johns is much in need
of. Under the pastoral care of Father
Melley the congregation has grown to
large proportions and to him it has
been apparent for the past four years
that the present edifice was inadequate
for the needs of his flock. But Father
Melley was greatly averse TO burden
ing his parishioners with the expense
of conducting a fair during such hard
times as the county has recently pass
ed through. Now that an era of pro-
longed prosperity is dawning, he deems
1t an opportune time for such move
