Presbyterians
Fail to Argee on
Uniting Churches

New York. Dec. 14-Proposals for
union of all Presbyterian and Reform
ed churches in the United States have
been deferred indefinitely owing to
inability of representatives of the
various denominations to agree on a
unif1cation program, said a report OF
the special conference investigating
the matter. made public tonight.
The report said the various denomi-
nations would continue to cooperate
as before, through the council of Re-
formed Churches holding the Pres
byterian system, but without in any
way modifying their Independent or
CARNATIONS.
DR.. James E. Clarke Of Nashville,
Tennessee, associated secretary of
the Presbyterian general board of
education, as secretary of the COM
mission said the conference held in
Richmond. Va, had been marked by
the most fraternal feeling through
out"
The point of disagreement, the re-
port said, was as to whether there
should be a complete union with one
general assembly and "a number of
regional synods, or a federal union in
which the various denominations
would preserve their autonomy.
Denominations represented in the
conference were the Presbyterian
church in the U. S. A. (North): Re-
formed Church in the U. S. and
United Presbyterian.

C0LRYS HEAD URGES MORE n,
attention TO WINTER SPORTS

President Arthur J. Roberts spoke
at the Colby College chapel exercises
Wednesday morning on the subject of
! Winter Sports at Colby. Just at this
time there is much agitation about es-
ta5lishing hockey at Colby as a rec
ognized intercollegiate sport. Last
winter an outing club was organized
to help further the cause of winter
sports at Colby, but owing to the re.
markable winter weather there was
practically no chance for the club to
become active.
"A good many OF the friends of the
college find it hard to understood why
so little interest is taken in winter
sports with all kinds of snow" said
President Roberts. 1.-The greatest ata-
letic need at present is to organize
to make the most of our unique situa-
tion.'
The president went on to say that
if he was 80 years younger he would
like nothing better than to take a

light A fine supply Of aprons was In
charge of Mrs. A. B. Rogers and Mrs

tended to the wants of customers at
this table.
Then there was the mystery tree
which was decorated in combina-
ton Of the three colors on the other

blue light at the top. Here the bum
dies were hung plainly in sight on
the tree but the mystery was as to
