Holds Annual
Church Social

In the beautiful parlors of the
YWCA on the evening of Septem-
Der l8, Wesley Chapel member
ship, the faculty of Philander
Smith College and other guests
will observe the Annual Church
Social Evening, Wesley Chapel
has had a notable year of fine
achievements under the leader
ship of her hard hitting minister,
Rev. J. Walt Moore. The spirit
ual goals set for the year just
about closed have been reached
and her financial efforts have
been eminently successful. The
goal of one thousand three humid
red dollars, Wesley's assessment
for the Crusade for Christ, was
secured in sixty days the first
part of l945, which set a fine
precedent in the raising of other
moneys composing the budget,
The church's bonded debt which
three years ago seemed impos-
sible to raise, the figure being
Sl400000 at that time, has been
raised except two thousand dol
lars, which will be paid by the
end of the Conference year.
The church has majored in
benevolent giving, not only in its
own congregation, but divers
charities have been and are sup
ported and no one applying for
aid is turned away. Wesley has
given to local benevolence alone
this conference year approximate
| ~ three hundred dollars. She
has just recently raised all of her
correctional claims of 100000 and
the minister has been ready" for
conference two months.
The social on September 10, is
to be semi-formal, with a snappy
program of good music, splendid
menu and good fellowship. The
Official Board is very happy over
the years labors, and report
many ascessions to Its member
ship and approximately thirteen
thousand dollars raised for the
year.
The minister of Wesley was in
structed by the membership and
the official board to invite the
Annual Conference to meet at
Wesley in it's next session of 1916.

To who've had home burdens to

I'm giving you flowers in my

To help you on life's highway.
The days were lonesome and the
nights so drear
But you kept the faith because
God was near.
But you played your part | think,

AS the wife of a soldier, | think
that's swell.

Let us thank God and continue
to pray.

Army tests with weather

with human subjects. Sub-Arctic
conditions could be duplicated in re-

this, a synthetic man. made of cop
per. now wears the test clothing

Since high heels have made ma
tersal arch troubles a fashion risk,
foot exercises have become a neceS-
Sity. Here are three that can be
done in five minutes, and might well
be nightly routine. First, walk
barefoot on the outer border of the
feet. Second, sit down (Such fun
exercises sitting down! and try
picking up marbles or a pencil with
your toes Three, rise to your tiptoes
and bend feet out slowly, repeating
10 times.

For pump bumps and the like, use

dust deodorant powder between
the toes before you get dressed.

The Young Idea

There is a stable difference be-
tween looking and seeing. Perhaps
your child looks at lovely park, a
lovely flower; the sight registers
f1eetingly on his retina-but fails to
register on his mind. Or perhaps
that park or flower is an old friend
OF his, a part of his experience and
understanding, contributing factor
toward making him at home in the
universe. Whether or not your child
looks" or "sees" depends on bis
knowledge of that thing, its mean
Ing for him, his comprehension of
its beauty. 1t Is quite true that the
extent to which We enjoy and appre-
clate things depends on our knoWl-
edge of them. The Office of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, a division of
the National Park Service of the De-
partment OF Interior, offers to your
chfld-and, incidentally, to you
an introduction, and real founda-
ton, for an appreciation and love of
the wonders and majesty of nature.
1t teaches one to "see" nature.
We'd like to tell you about the
program of the National Capital
Parks. Leaders of this service give il
lustrated assembly talks to students
from second grade through high
school. Trips also punctuate the
material presented in these lectures.
The stories of the trees. wild ami
mails, wild flowers, birds, snakes.
rocks are told in way that puts the
children on speaking terms with
these natural wonders, rather than
presenting them to the children as
so many specimens with unpro-
nouncable names. This approach
also has had definite curb on van
dalsn-lt is difficult to destroy an
object that has become friend!

division with children is conducted
through the Junior Audubon Clubs.

Audubon Society, with headquarters
IN New York City. There are over
20 such clubs in the city, with a
membership of approximately 600

with them. fostering nature loving,

club through their school, or they
may send letter of application, to-

May and last throughout November.
Campfire programs, featuring Illus
trated talks and moving pictures on

are also conducted throughout the
summer. Some Of the most beauJi-
full and interesting spots in the city

many parks located throughout the
