her sons name on the German

could only murmur that she was
''overjoyed at the news"

broadcast and who telephoned her.

odd Timer Recalls so Years
With Central Union Mission

Sixty years ago 15-year-old boy
huddled in the doorway of q mis-
sion to escape the buffeting wind
and snow. From the second floor
came voices raised in a hymn. He
climbed the stairs and slipped In,
unobserved among the 30-odd per-
sons gathered there.
He was William H. Grovermann,
2021 Klingle road NV.
Last night Mr.. Grovermann again
braved wind and snow to come to
the mission he first entered Janu-
ary 25, 1885. The occasion was a
banquet celebrating the first formal
meeting of the Central Union Mis-
sion three-score years ago in a small
room on the second floor of 909
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
The meeting last night was held
in the modern seven-story building
at 613 G street NV, which is the
missions present home. It has been
moved numerous times to accommo-
date its ever-expanding congrega-
tions and activities and has pro-
vided shelter and food for thousands
of homeless since its inception.
Looks Back on Hard Years.
Mr.. Grovermann, a spry old man
for his rs years, looking back on the
