FRANKFORT
Annual Services Held In
Old BlackWater Church

Church on the Frankford- Bethany
Beach Road were held ON Sunday
October IL, at 2:30 p. m.
Heretofore it has been the pI.ac
tice of Eastern Shore Presbyterians
to attend in such numbers that ere
the hour for the service to com
mence S. r. o. signs might have
been displayed. The gas and rub.
ber shortage had its effect upoI
the attendance this year The Gus
tomary congestion, which was
want to crowd every inch of space
including aisles and balcony, and
overflow TO adjacent churchyard
was conspicuous by its absence. We
feel that this was not from any lack
of interest in the historic shrine
but rather a direct reflection of the
present-day necessity to curb un-
necessary motoring.

Popular Pet Passes
Since Uncle Jim" and Aunt
Edda," as Mr.. and Mrs. Murray are
affectionately known locally, are
the proud parents of seven sons,
four of whom are now in various
branches of our nations service,
in as many parts of the country, it
might well be said that the deceas-
ed Pete was known coast-to-coast,
on land, sea, and in the air. Some
termed the big gray a one-man
USO. In the absence of their sons,
he was surely a keeper-upper of
the. morale of the James X. Muir
ray family.
