Bishop Purcell Dedicates
New Baldwin Church Building
Name Is Changed to Trinity
Methodist Church. Many
Present for Service.

A large crowd heard the inspir-
ing sermon delivered by Bishop
Clare Purcell at the dedication of
the Baldwin Methodist church
building on the Helton circuit,
Sunday afternoon.
At this time, at the suggestion
of the Bishop and the approval
of the members, the name of the
church was changed to Trinity
Methodist church.
The Bishop took as his text, II
Propose to Build a House to Je-
hova, My God," and spoke of the
need and the purpose of build
ing churches.
Others who took part in the
dedicatory service were Rev. A.
C. Gibbs, district superintendent,
of Elkin; Rev. T. E. Weaver, re-
tired minister Of Gadsden, Ala,
who is visiting relatives and
friends in this section and the
pastor, Rev. R. j. Startling. Rev.
C. c. Graham, of Lewisville, a
former pastor who did much to-
ward starting the movement of
the new church building was pre-
sent.
The church now has IS mem
vers and the modern new build
ing will enable it to render great
er community service, the men,
bers pointed out. Preaching SER
vices are conducted the second
Sunday morning in each month
at HOO o'clock in the morning.
Sunday school is held each Sun
day morning at 1000 o'clock. c.
M. Dickson is superintendent.
The church was built by the
aid of individuals, the Methodist
Conference and the Duke founda-
ton. The pastor, Rev. R. ]. Star
ling said that he wished to again
thank everyone for their help in
the building possible. He
pointed out that among the other
leaders in the movement to erect
the building was Walter Dickson,

Credit Assn. Has
Made Good Record
Winston-S a | e m Production
Credit Reports S136,944
Loaned This Year.

Farmers and stockmen in Ashe
county have helped to increase
the loan volume of the Winston
Salem Production Credit Asso-
citation during the first 6 months
of the year, according to Paul J.
Vestal, president of the board of
directors.
Reporting $136,944.2O loaned
during the first six months of the
year, Mr.. Vestal said a good share
of it went to finance seasonal OPP
erations of Ashe county farmers,
stockmen, and growers.
Reports from all over the ma
ton, Mr.. Vestal said, indicate
that some time during the month
of July some farmer or stockman
somewhere in the United States
will receive the two billionth
dollar loaned by a production
credit association. This two bill
lion dollars has been loaned to
farmers on terms adapted to
their individual needs, thereby
providing dependable source of
credit at reasonable cost.
Since the Winston-Salem Asso-
citation began operations in 1884
it has loaned $945,O12.2O to fl
nance the needs of the members
in Allegheny, Ashe, Caldwell,
Davidson, Forsyth, Stokes, Sur
ry, Watauga, Wilkes and Yadkin
counties.

important, so WPA has built two
gymnasiums, four school play
grounds, while West Jefferson has
the beautiful community building.
Further bringing together the
need of the Individual and the
need Of the community in which

constructed at Jefferson. Water
mains and sewerage treatment
plants have been supplied West
jefferson has obtained two and
three-fourths miles of sanitary
sewers with 489 service connec-
tons and 72 manholes.
Nine Bridges Built
The building of sidewalks and
roads entails more than surfacing
a strip-rivers and creeks must be
bridged. WPA has built nine. Gull
verts must be installed. Three
hundred and six of them have
been placed. A mile Of road drain
age pipe has been laid.
A school building is a barren
thing unless the grounds are land
scaped. Around school buildings
in Ashe county, including stone
retaining walls, landscaping has
been done on four acres.
Strange to say, until the last
year, there has never been
a hospital in Ashe county. There
is one now. 1t is of native stone,
