One outstanding feature of the
new program is that recipients

of laymen who reside in the ap-

state, laymen who are most apt

According to announced plans
of selecting recipients, regional
committees are to be composed
of one minister, one school man,
a Duke alumnus, and two other
persons who may or may moi
fall into one of the above cate,

For administrative purposes:
the state will be divided into
four portions of comparable
school population. One man stu

selected for the award annual

be split into eastern and west

from each half awarded the

Under this arrangement, uni

the rising cost of education

graduates who aspire to attend

new S holarship program that
will make available to potential
leaders opportunities unprece-
dented in the history of the in

The awards, known as the
Angler Duke Regional Scholar
ship prizes and restricted to
residents of North Carolina, will
provide a total of $1,000 in as
sistance to individual students
over a four-year academic peri
cd.

The new minister of the
church will be DR.. F. B. Jor-
dan. who for the past six years
has been pastor of the Central
Methodist church in Concord.
DR.. Jordan is a graduate OF
Duke University, where he re-
ceiyed his D. D. degree. His
father. the Rev. H. H. Jordan
was a pastor in the Western
North Carolina conference,
while a brother, Charles, is
vice-president of Duke Unlver-
sitv. Another brother, Eberett,

facturer of SaXapaW.
DR.. Clark, a native of Mis-
souri,. came to the conference
seventeen years ago. Prior to
his coming here he was pastor
of the Lafayette Park church IN
St. Louis for eight years.
During his stay in St. LOUIS,
DR.. Clark became a good friend
of Branch Hickey, present
Brooklyn National League base
ball club owner. This friendship
began a few years earlier when
Hickey was catching for the
Dallas club in the Texas League
while a student at Ohio Wes-
layan University. Later Hickey
came to St. Louis as manager of
the Browns in the American
League, and for years taught a
young mems Sunday school
class in DR.. Clark's church.
DR.. Clark said of his leaving
the Granite City that he had
never had a finer pastorate, but
appreciated his new work. ut
is with deep regret that Mrs.
Clarke and I leave friendships
such as these in Mount Airy
friendships that have cut
across all denominations and
lines"
During the five years DR..
Clark has spent as pastor of
Central Methodist church, he
has been extremely active in
developing a program for the
youth of Mount Airy, and has
been president since it's incep-|
ton of the Mount Airy Youth
council an organization which
has been making a good record
in handling problems of local
teen = ayers. Nc successor has

-. Two years ago, when juve-
nile delinquency had reached it's
peak in Louisville, the council
of churches began a study of
the situation with Captain Keif-
er. 1t was found that almost all
the delinquents in the city came
from a Textbook area. Within
that area the poker and crap
games were played, the street
lamps were broken, the cars
were stolen. And there was not
a recreation or a play area, or a
church clubroom in the neigh
borhood. So a committee of
the council leased a church.
owned building, and opened a
supervised boys club with play
room, game tables, library,
classes, Workshop-all under the
direction of a trained man. And
during a recent period of eight
months, Captain Kiefer reports,
not one boy from that Textbook
area of Louisville has been in
court. "You have shown the
kids a better life" says the
Captain to the clergymen.

a rural Methodist pastor, there
are four ways in which Metho-
