Jacob Twet, NJ. l.. Rostad and
M. l. Sateren of Comertown were
callers on Thursday afternoon
of last week. They were here
especially in the interest OF the
Zion Congregation of Comertown as
its building committee. The congrega-
ton elected these gentlemen at its
annual business meeting held the
first Of the year to draw up plans
and present specifications for a new
church. They took measurements of
the Lutheran church here and may
probably present it as a model,
although it may be built somewhat
different from this one. While here
they also visited at the First Luthe-
ran parsonage with Rev. and Mrs.
Dordal.
The Comertown people have
erected a very fine and uptodate
school building which is a credit to
them. With a new church building
near this new school house it will
add to the attractiveness of that
neat little city. 1t has already a nice
park and some modern residences
in its midst.
