The new Shiloh Constitution,
long the labor Of a committee Of
five, was presented and accepted
last week Tuesday night. at the
regular church monthly meeting,
perhaps the most important one
IN a number of years. Designed
Tor a forward movement in a
growing community, the church
constitution boldly faces the fu-
ture and consolidates the gains Of
the past fifty years. Among a
number Of plans outlined for i'm
mediate consideration at the meet
ing last week is the call for new
seating facilities. Workers are be-
ing enlisted to carry on this drive
at this time. A home to home
canvas will request volunteer
pledges to aid the church pro-
gram. With cooperation it can
succeed. The half century Of
progress has taken its toll. Each
generation in the past has con-
triouted to church upkeep. 1 re-
call when members like Joe JET
fries, Grandpa Parham, Frank
FUR, and others with trade and
skills sort of made it their bus
mess to keep Shiloh on an even
keel. We believe this same I'M
selfish devotion still exists today
among readers Of this colum and
the friends of Shiloh everywhere.
The men hereabouts will be able
to cover this subject personally
in a May Breakfast at Shiloh, on
the 22nd, sponsored by the Ladies
Aid. It's going to be a real neigh.
borly event with plenty Of good
home cooking. AS a matter of fact,

Club resumes its annual June 18th

patrons know, this annual June
breakfast is Of long standing and

the food conditions. This year Will
make up for it, and Mrs. saith
