men, defense workers, members
and friends to attend this church
on Sunday night for the dedica-

like to make the following state
ment. that no seats will be reServ-

be able to reserve seats for the
families of the boys in the service.
After talking to some of the fam
lies of the boys in the service, it
was decided that so many seats
would have to be reserved, that
IT would take nearly all the church.
Therefore it was decided to reserve
no seats at all. The first to come
