Church Affairs
Many of the people of Glendale

being h's:l at Slaughter Beach. They
report that the people generally arc
attending these services and are
much interested in them. Last Sum
day, Jack Kelly, Charles Abbott and
R. w. Casson of the Berachah Tab
ernacle, Philadelphia, were in
charge, and rendered a fine service.
It sounded good to hear the old time
songs such as our mothers and fa-
theirs used to sing Ion gagO, sung |
with the old time vigor.
The three evangelists present |
gave short talks, hut the sermon for |
the afternoon was preached by R. W.
Casson, and was worth going miles |
to hear. This talented evangelist did
not mince matters, but his whole
theme was wrought with thought
that will cause the people to live
and do better.
"Will You Be Made Whole?" was
his theme and in forcible manner
he told of the miracle performed
by Christ while upon earth.
The church school of the Ellen

WAR ON RAGWEED
TO END HAY FEVER
[COntinned from First Page1


tain a height of eight to ten feet.
Instead of fleeing to the noun
tains or elsewhere for relief, the de-
partment urges hay fever sufferers
to concentrateDn cutting down rag
weed plants. This will reduce the
amount of pollen in the air so that
severe cases will be less virulent
and those only mildly subject to in
lection may escape entirely.
Cutting ragweed twice a year is
suggested; first, Just before the
flowers form, and second, before the
flowers develop on the low-growing
branches which shoot out after the
first cutting.
If cutting is delayed until flower
buds form, the pollen may develop
after the weeds are cut, and burning
the plants may be necessary. Cut
ting ragweeds along highways and
on vacant lots in cities and suburbs
is especially important, says the de-
partment.

-NO ONE READS THE PAPER'

"No one reads the paper" has been
repeatedly told every newspaper
worker since Ben Franklin set his
first line of long primer, and dis
proven every time the name of
six-year-old fairy in the school play
was printed Lucy Jones instead of
Lucy Ann. Everyone from grand
ma to second cousin Susan will tell
the editor that he should have known
the little stars name; that it was
just wicked to let such a glaring
error get into the paper-why, even
Lucy would never be the same again
without that Ann. 'Squeer, isn't it,
that nobody reads the paper, except
the issue that happens to print a
six-point error-C. M. Brown in the

Chase National Bank of New York Will Sell Sev- eral Million Dollars Worth at Auction

New York, Jan 31.-(UP)- Other properties in Samuel In- sull's utilit5 empire, which col- lapsed last summer, appeared 1ikc- ly to go into the hands of bank CTS to-day. The Chase National bank announced 1t would sell at auction next Tuesday all collateral securing a loan of $5,485,051 to the National Electric Power Co.
 The loan has been in default since last June 30 when the com- pany, largest eastern holding unit of the Insull Middle West Utilities system, went into receivership. If no satisfactory bids are received, the bank announced, 1t will itself buy the pledges.
 This would give Chase National control of the Virginia Public Ser vice Co, the Eastern Shore Public Service Go, the Buckeye Light & Power Co, the Central Utilities Ser vice Co, and all their subsidiaries. Two parcels of securities of the companies are involved in the sale.
 By this step, the Chase National bank is following measures taken last December by the Central Han over Bank & Trust Go, which had advanced $5,789,917 to the Nation- al Public Service Corp, largest sub- sidiary of National Electric Power.
 Other banks which hold collateral for large loans to Insull units are the New Yorok Trust Go, the Manu- lecturers Trust Go, and the Chemi- cal Bank & Trust Go. These have not yet announced their plans with respect to the collateral they hold.
