Enlarge Scope of LoWman
Home.

Lapse of some years and expendi-
ture of money in considerable sums
will be required for realization in full
Of plans adopted by directors of the
Lowman home for the aged and help
less at White Rock, in their meeting
yesterday at the Office Of the Lutheran
Board of Publication in Columbia. A
committee was authorized to retain an
architect and have tentative plans
drafted for the enlargement Of the
Lowman home by the erection OF
groups of buildings for the accommo-
dation of orphans, children of retard-
ed mental development, epileptics
and the helpless aged Announce
ment of the decision thus to widen
the scope of the work at the home
was made last night by the Rev. Wal
ton H. Greever. D. D., editor of the
Lutheran Church Visitor, who is a
member of the board of directors.
Although this home is controlled
directly by the Lutheran church, its
doors are to be opened to the aged and
helpless of other denominations as
well; and in the canvass for the
necessary funds to promote the en-
larged enterprise, an appeal will be
made to all persons regardless of de
nominational affiliations. The plan of
the board is to take care of the physi-
caliy and mentally deficient after The
community cottage plan. aud such
policy will require the cApeudluure of
large sums Of money, and Years must
elapse before the institution will de-
velop to its fullest proportions.
The Lowman home is a gift from
Mrs. Malissa A. Lowman of White
Rock. A large cash subs criptlon and
1000 acres of land were placed by her
at the disposal Of the Lutheran churdh
about two years ago for the estab-
lishment of home for the aged and
helpless. It was one of the largest
gifts ever made to the Lutheran church
in the South, the plantation being ap-
praised as easily worth $4,000, ex-
elusive of the cash which accompanied
it.
The board of directors is composed
of the Rev. Edwin FulenWider of
Newberry, president; the Rev. W. P.
Cline, D. D., superintendent of the
home; Kenneth Baker of Greenwood,
the Rev. G. E. Weltner, D. D., the
Rev. W. H. Greever, D. D, P. G..
Price and P. H. Haltiwanger of Co.
lumbia. White Rock is 18 miles
out of Columbia on the Columb bia,
Newberry & Laurens railroad.
