KIWAMANS ENJOY
| TALK BY BISHOP
Thomas c. Darst Recounts
Amusing Incidents OF
Long Clerical Career

In an informal talk before fellow
Kiwanians yesterday, Bishop
Thomas c. Darst, after recounting
some of the many amusing Incl

friends and memories to brighten
the sunset days of his life.

for the day and'was introduced by

he was born in Pulaski, Va, in

bishop of the diocese of Eastern
North Carolina.
He then went on to recount, in
his usual humorous style, a few

that had occurred at weddings and
even at a funeral.
He paid tribute to the sterling
qualities of the people of Hyde
county and touched briefly on the
many degrees he had received.
He got a hearty laugh out of
the Kiwanians present when he
