Believing the old adage that Satan finds mischief for idle hands, and that this has close relationship to present-day juvenile delinquency, the Rev. James R. Colby of Christ Episcopal Church, East Tawas, and St. Johns, Au Sable, Michigan, has organized group of thirty of his parishioners to revive old and al- most forgotten crafts. In the group are boys and girls as well as adults. They are occupied and kept off the streets, and, MT, Colby says, are not apt to get into trouble. Among the activities are sewing, repairing toys, making quilts, printing, lino- leum blocks, and rug weaving.
 Those who carry the Gospel through the world contribute to that most urgent need something more precious and more relevant than that which statesmen and diplomats can ever do," said the Archbishop of Canterbury at the 145th anniversary of the Church Missionary Society, in London, Eng land. We need the statesmen's $ work, and, of course, we must pray for them that they may be rightly guided; but all that can be done by them is to devise machinery for the kind of people who are &C., tually in the world. There is some thing deeper that must be done before any solution can be really final, and that is the winning of men out of their selfishness as in dividuals or families or classes or races or nations into the fellow ship of the family of God"

In "Flanner House" a community center for which a new building has just been opened, Negroes and white serve together on committees, staff, and board of directors. Last year the center served l04,000 people in multi tude of ways, and in its new House, designed by an outstanding Negro architect, it will serve a much larger constituency. Hammer House offers its congested community a social service department, a day nursery, clubs, educational classes, toy library, work shop and an em- ployment department.

 What c change tn man comes with the period Of time. We knew Biil Barton before he entered the police department, We knew him when he was a worker for the Hell mann Brewing company He had plenty Of weight then, pair oi big strong arms, and the strength of afl OK. He was in good health when he j0inted the force, active for c big person and alive to the dus ties Imposed upon him aB Q police. man, His one ambition seemed to be the welfare and security Of the people who lived on the beat he paty0lIed, He couldn't run like 2 rabbit, that Is true, but, he could and did test and try every door Of any and all kinds Of business on his post. Pleasant and afGable, Bill Barton got to know many people in the city and all liked him.
 Of late, his tour Of duty was in the Willow street section, the up. per portion, But he wasn't the BiIiy Barton Of former days. It was evident he was slipping" as the say is, due mainly to the condition of his legs which seemed to have gone back on him. Yet the faith. fuIness of the man was evident to everyone who viewed him from time to time, He Bhirked nothing, tried his best, and gave everything ne had in the interests of the work to which he was assigned, Traffic never bothered him and he per. formed this part of his duty in Q manner which pleased especially all attendants at St. Margaret's Roman Catholic church, after and during tine Sunday services.
