The pastor Of Salem Church ur-
gently calls upon every member 70
be present at the morning service
next Sunday, June %.
The tragic events in other parts
OF the world which are affecting us
more than we think, call us to an
examination OF ourselves. II we
are Christians, let us for this one
day forego every other pleasure and
pastime and spend one hour in the
House Of God, seeking Divine guild
ance for this dark day through
which we are passing.
If you are a Christian, you will
please be present next Sunday at the
morning service. For this one hour
will you let the church come before
pleasure? Moral conditions, neglect
Of worship and selfish indulgence
are contributing factors which have
produced the conditions now pre-
Vailing in other parts Of. the world.
Let US determine that these things
shall not bring the same conditions
here! iN

 And you'll never be sure as long as you play around with those Reds," he said bitterly. Something will have to wake you up to the fact that they're all phonies. But don't know what it will be. You see, Sue Mary, I think you are hunting for adventure And I think you believe you're half in love with this Nick"
 He was going away for week, 50 she wouldn't let anything precipi. tate a quarrel. But his words echoed in her mind. Hunting adventure, be- lieve you are half in love with Nick.
 She supposed that was the way it would look, and yet, she told herself, this is more than adven- ture: working at something that is worth while, helping people my own age who have brains and charm, in 8 cause they are con- vinced is right.
 And as for Nick = But that al- ways left her confused. She tried to believe his attentions were the same with the others, but she couldn't ignore the look in his eyes, the sound of his voice saying her name, the way he managed to take her home after the meet ings.
 The next day Sue Mary went to Natahes after work. It was hot in the studio bedroom and the girls tied back the faded window drapes to catch the slightest pos sible breath of air.
 "I'd like to get out of here" :" Natalie said in her low, husky voice. She was in her white slip with her thick, taffy- -colored hai1 pinned in knot high on her, haid. She wiped beads of water from the pitcher and poured Sue Mary glass of lemonade.

 It came as a surprise to Sue Mary. She looked a bit nor- plussed. Natalie was all right. Sue Mary enjoyed working with her, enjoyed listening to her un- ceasing conversation that ranged from pictures to politics, but sine had never considered living with her.
 You're stuck sin that funny, old-fashioned boarding house where there isn't a soul you know or like. Half the time you're here anyway, with Vera and Nick coming over to work or talk. We could have fun, a decent place to live and no more expenses than the way it is now"
 Sue Mary tried to think. She supposed Natalie was right. Her own drab room was simply a place

to escape from when one wasn't sleeping.
 Yet living with Natalie would be a strang experience. She looked around the room, at the pictures overflowing on the floor, book streaming from the table, clothes showed in the closet and the door that never shut; the tiny kitchenet with dirty dishes ever present on the sink.
 Natalie laughed. "Yes, I know what you're thinking. You're so precise, so tidy, that this must bring horror to your, neat little soul. Well, you can straighten up to your hearts content.
 why not try it anyway? I mean sharing an apartment. You won't hurt my feelings if you move when you can't take it any longer"
 And so it was arranged. They all had a hand in it: Vera pack ing pictures, records, papers, books, and Nick making endless trips between Natalie's old room, Oue MdIy ;, dIlu Ille ucW dpdI IG- ment. And before she knew how it had been accomplished, they were settled.
 She got a thrill out of being able to move about in a room that was more than a cupboard. The twin beds in the bedroom didn't even crowd the space, and the big shiny bath with the deep tub, the shower with its funny curtain decorated with fantastic fishes, the tiny kitchenet with its compact drawers, refrigerator and stove = all enchanted her so that she was content just to stand and stare about her.
 Well probably never get her out" Natalie told Vera. "She goes around with a dustcloth all even- ing shining things, and picking up after me-. My clothes have never been hung up before and now I can't find anything. Sue Mary has them where they be- long"

FAMOUS ORCANIST
 COMING SEPT. 30
Joseph Bonnet Is a Stu- dent of GregOrian Plain
 Chant

Few organists today have a deep CT knowledge of religious. music than Joseph Bonnet. Since his early years, when he began to turn towards music, he has been inter ested in church music. Being him. self very religious person it was natrual for Bonnet to love and study the plain chant which befits so splendidly the Catholic liturgy.
 This great master is convinced and has widely proclaimed that the Gregorian plain chant is the kind of music which goes with and should accompany the services of the Ro- man Catholic Church.
 So convinced was he of this that he made it his business to study it thoroughly not because he himself has to direct a choir, since the great and historic Church of St. EuStache where he presides at the organ has it's own Choirmaster, but because Bonnet felt that he should know all which pertains to the service. He went to the famous "Abbaye de Sol- esme" on the Isle of Wight, where for several months he studied and followed the magnificent Gregorian services which take place day and night in the chapel of this famous monastery.
 Then, in that monastic and pious environment, Bonnet found knowl- edge and inspiration which perme- ates his life and his concert work It is indeed fortunate that our city will have the privilege of being wis., lted by that celebrated master who will give Q concert in this city at st.
