VACATION BIBLE
SCHOOL IN SUNNYSLOPE,
ARIZONA

(The following is an excerpt
from letter recently receiv-
ed from Leland Barton, Elder
in charge of the Phoenix, Ari-
IONA, Branch of the Christian
Catholic Church,
Yesterday, June End, was
the opening day for Vacation
Bible School at Zion Mountain
View Chapel. The first days
enrolment was 81 with chill
dren ranging in age from two
to thirteen. A full and inter-
esting program was started
and will continue through the
thirteenth. A great interest
was shown and certainly evil
denced by the increase of
about fourteen in attendance
today making a total today of
over seventy.
We have splendid group
of workers, thirteen in num-
Der. Our auditorium is a fine
place for the school and we
look forward to the closing
program when we will have a
number of the parents out for
the first time. We thank God
for strength and wisdom with
which to carry on the work.
We were pleased to have
Leslie Knepper and family
stop by this morning as the
school was in session. They
have continued on to Califor-
MIA where they expect to visit
with relatives. Last Sunday
evening we were surprised to
have Mrs. Marion Moulton
Blake and husband stop by
and attend the evening service.
Our prayers go up for the
ones in Zion who are in sor-
row because of the loss of low
ed ones. The twenty-third
Psalm, which we are using as
a theme for the primary course

in our Vacation Bible School,
is truly a comfort in the time
of sorrow. What a joy we have,
as Gods children, in looking
forward to that great reunion
with loved ones who have
gone before to be with the
Lord.

Estehr Dorothy, the light

Choosing muskrat as the most

it through various processes of

and produces coats ranging in
tone from sable gray and nutrial

The coats come in lengths

winch expired by low April 4.
Until the final days of the
congressional session, however,
the commission was a financial
orphan. Congress waited until al
most the last minute to appro-
pirate funds for it, and the three
SlO,O00-a-year commissioners
had jobs without paychecks from
mid-April until the end of July.
The appropriation was made in
an omnibus bill which took care
of a lot of unfinished fiscal bus
mess.
Mexican Claims Paid
At last, all of the pending
claims of United States citizens
against Mexico and Mexican citi-
zens are settled. Certain claims
always have been handled direct
ly by the State Department, and
in the future all Mexican claims
will go to it.
James A. Langston, secretary
of the last of long line of Mex
lean claims commissions, is
pretty proud of how it all came
out. So
The commission paid off 1865
claims for $37,948,200.05. The
people making them had asked
originally for 1851, 250,950.
Altogether, Langston explain
ed recently, the several commits
sionS that have shuffled Mexican
claims around since 1923 approx
ed about $40,750,000 worth. IN
der an agreement. Mexico put up
a little more than $40,50O,00O to
pay them.
Some Money Lacking
That leaves some successful
claimants still holding the bag
for about $2l5,000, Langston
said. They won't get it, unless the
Mexican government puts up the
money.
The last 200 claims settled by
the commission were the his
toric Texas cattle claims which
originated in the late 1905. They
arose from border raids by Mex
lean soldiers, and once amounted
to more than $50,000,000.
The new Indian Claims Com
mission faces similar job, and
Langston is its chief clerk and
administrative officer.
1t is authorized to hear all
claims by Indians against the
government. 1t can settle them

Many Are Old

Many Are Old
Many outstanding Indian
claims are as old as the Texas
cattle claims, Langston said
Some are the famous pony"
claims of the Sioux, whose
ponies were driven off and nab
bed by the U. S. Cavalry when
it found that the Sioux fighters
could be whipped no other way.
The Commission has not adopt
ed its rules yet. Langston said,
and has received only seven ten
tative Indian claims. Most of
these will have to be re-submit-
ted, he said, when the rules are
announced.

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Fred McMurray for years has been
a tough nut for press agents to
crack. He lives a pretty ordinary
existence-as lots of others actors
do-and refuses to lie about it.
This made him poison to publicity
men, and their insistence that he
do something once in q while to
make copy" soured him no little
on; the gentlemen of that profes-
sion. ~
There was, for years, a feud be-
tween MacMurray and the press
agents.
Now comes a picture, called 'The
Miracle Of the Bells" which glori-
fies a press agent. And. Fred plays
the press agent.
Out Of the hat that all good ex-
|ploitation departments keep around
for such occasions has been pulled
the idea that Fred, and some news
papermen, should throw a party fol
press agents following the premiere
of the movie.
Fred has agreed to the idea, and
newspapermen are never adverse to
parties, but there will have to be
one minor change.
Neither Fred, nor the newspaper
men, like the idea well enough to
pay for the party. No matter who
is host, the press agents, as usual
will have to foot the bills.
