Church Group Plan
MiLLSbOrO Church
Architect From PhiIa. Has
Conferred With Grace
Groups

With a campaign for some $780,
600 needed for the proposed new
$4,000 Grace Methodist Church
and parsonage. The parsonage and
building committee met last SatUr-
day with George E. Savage, Phila-
delphia, to go over the architects
plans.
According to the Rev. Robert
F. Loss, Jr., the pastor, it is hoped
to have the project under cOnstruc-
ton some time during January. AS
soon as all of the plans have been
irOned out, bids will be asked.
Some confusion was caused
among churchmen by a published
report saying that church officials,
over a long period had accumu-
/ lated $4,000 and that this was eX-
/ pected to cover the cost of the
project. AS Mr.. Loss explained
this is nearer the amount which is
actually sought in the current
drive which is to be added to $37,-
600 now in hand.
The block-brick church and par
sonage will be built on the site Of
the old public school which has
/, been cleared.
The various committees who are
steering preliminaries for the
, building project are:
Parsonage, Mrs. Harry r. Viii
