 Made Here

Rev. William H. Alderson, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, in all proba bilty will be returned to New Britain, according to a statement made today to the Herald by Rev. pr. William B. Beach, district su- perintendent of Methodist churches in this section.
 Dr. Beach was interviewed at the First Methodist church in Stanford where the New York East confer ence of Methodist churches is be- ing held. He stated that. while there would be no official announce ment of changes made by the con- ference officials before Monday. present indications are that in all probability there will be no change in the status of Mr. Alderson."
 A delegation of men and women from the local church attended the conference yesterday and expressed their desire to have Rev. Mir. Alder son returned to this city. There was a feeling here that an attempt would be made by Brooklyn church to draft him.
 While this statement is not final. and no final statement can be made before Monday. it seems altogether likely that Mr. Alderson will re- turn to New Britain for another year." Dr. Beach stated.
