Nora Stirling; creator and nara tor of the Funny Things" program heard oyer CBS thrice weekly, is convinced of the loyalty of one of her fans, come what may. He is a busy New York executive, with offices. in a skyscraper that permits no radios. He knew of her air pre- miere and wanted to hear 1t. He left his desk and searched the barber shops and stores in that business section for 8 radio with no success. In desperation he grabbed a cab intent on reaching his apartment before her program started. Inside, the cab radio was cheerfully giving out the latest dance tune.

Federated Church for Doug las Considered by Con-
 gregational, Methodist

Dr. Walter Torbet, western rep resentative of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, left early this morning for the West ward on the Methodist Mission boat. Accompanying him were the Rev and Mrs. A. J. Clemens and son who will have charge of the work at Seward and the Rev. and Mrs. Floyd Vixen and sons who will be stationed at Seldovia.
 While in Juneau Dr. Torbet con- tacted representative church. lead- CTS of Douglas in the interest of federated church for Douglas to be sponsored by the Congregational and Methodist Episcopal National Boards with the suggestion that the name of the church be the United Church of Christ" Congregational Methodist branch. This implies the merging of all property interests in Douglas, the Methodist board sup plying the minister and the Con- gregational board furnishing a thoroughly trained woman educa- tional worker for both Douglas and Juneau. It also implies the cordial cooperation of the people of Doug- las in both the building enterprise and the maintenance of the church. Dr. Torbet thinks that fine lit- tie chapel and an adequate social and educational unit is fundamen- tai. He has already reported the situation to the National boards of both the Congregational and Meth odist Churches and expects a fav- orable response. When he returns from the west he will again take the matter up with the citizens of Douglas. It is his opinion that now is the time for action in the inter- est of a united program in which all the people of Douglas will be welcome to have an interest.
