NEW TENNIS COURT
 IS CHURCH FEATURE

Through the efforts of members of the congregation who live near the church and others, cement tennis court has been installed just to the rear of the Congregational church at Second and Willetta streets. While no one is sure whether it should be classified as a sport, social or relig- ious feature, everybody in the neigh borhood agrees that it will provide a welcome form of recreation to the community.
 The Rev. G. D. YoalSum, the pastor, however, expects the tennis court to be of use in other than athletic ways. He pointed out last night that the smooth cement space would be an ideal spot for outdoor affairs of the church, besides being in constant use as Q tennis court.
