 THE AGE-H ERALD Raaaeo,ar Ala Sent. 16

It is expected that another school bond election will be called at the Tuesday evening session of the Bes- semer city council. this being done at the request of the buyers of the bonds voted at an election held May 29. The attorneys for the bond buy CTS have asked that the election be held again in order to straighten out certain technicalitles in regard to the wording used on the ticket. The matter was referred to the judiciary committee of the council at the last meeting and 1t Is felt that the re- quest will be granted.
 This election will again refer to the voters the question of Issuing S150,000 In school bonds, which arc to be retired in 1943. Provision will be made to create funds by levy of mills, which will be voted on at the same time, to be applied to the upkeep of the schools, and also to retire the bonds.
 Since the election on May 29, in which the S150,000 bond issue carried by big majority, the board of edu- cation has let contracts for improve ments at several schools in anttcipa- tion of receiving money from the bond buyers who were the City Ma tional bank of Bessemer, and Ward, Sterne & Co. of Birmingham. These improvements will be held up until the election Is held again, or the disagreement among the attorneys Is settled in some other way.

SPECIAL CONSTITUTION SERMON

 other viewpoints.
 SPECIAL CONSTITUTION SERMON
 At the Methodist church Sunday night Kiwanian William Mansfield delivered special sermon on the constitution of the United States as one feature of the observance by the Kiwanis club of Ensley. His sermon also had to do with the observance of the Christian Sabbath which proved to be decidedly interesting. MT. Mansfield paid his respects to those who do not strictly observe the Lords day and coupled the love for the constitution with the Christian Sabbath. Following his sermon, the Kiwanis club will bring about a liberal display of flags in Ensley and will perhaps arrange service at one quet. Plans have been arranged to constitution week.
 OBSERVE HOMECOMING
 Home coming was observed at the Ensley Methodist church and the Ensley Baptist church Sunday morn ing. Both houses of worship were filled.
 Sermons by Rev MT. Mansfield and Rev. MT. Gardner were launched on special home coming lines and in- terested the congregations. The Bap- lists carried out an usual advertising campaign in an effort to obtain at least 1000 at Sunday school which from all accounts was successful to a large degree The two services filled the streets of Ensley with wor- shlpers Sunday morning to larger extent than has been observed in some time.
 BACH MUSIC CLUB
 It was announced Sunday rsa; members of the Kiwanis club of Ensley, who wish to become members of the Ensley unit of the Music Study club, may have their tickets secured through the office of the secretary of the club. The Kiwanis club at its meeting last Thursday following an exceptionally pleasing address of Mrs Phillips, voted to stand four square for the musical development of this section, and 1t Is believed that many Kiwanians will enroll as members of the unit.

Tickets for membership entitle one to many concerts any one of which If managed: by individuals would per haps entail greater expenditure than Is asked for the entire series under the direction of the Music study club. Ktwanians, wco wish tickets pur- chased. for tk>m through the office of the secretary will be given prompt service. There is no charge for thatseonsideration.
