Mrs. Fleming to be Feted
For Service TO Her Church

Mrs. Edna Fleming, secretary
of the Women's Missionary So
ciety of Allen Chapel, A. NJ E,
Church, will be honored at a
luncheon at p. m. Wednesday.
Mrs. Fleming, a graduate of
Marysville High School in the
class of 1896, has been secretary
for a period of so years.
During her long affiliation with
the church, Mrs. Fleming has held
several positions, including sec
retray of the Sunday School, for
many years. She has helped in
almost all departments of the
church at one time or another.
The oldest and strongest or
ganization of Allen Chapel is the
Missionary Society, which was
organized in November, 1893 with
Mrs. Susan Patterson as president.
All records for the period between
1893 and 1899 were lost. In April,
1899 Edna Patterson was elected
pertinent secretary of the organi-
zation. Later that year she be-
came Mrs. Luther Fleming.
Church 20 Years Old
The history of the church dates
back to June, 1879 when the deed
for the present building was
granted and work was begun on
the present building. Practically
all the labor was donated for the
project. Prior to the building of
the Church, the Sunday School
had been held in a room over the
present location of Bornheim's
Fruit Market
First pastor of the Church was
Nathanial Mitchell, and due to
the smallness of the charge, many
pastors have been associated
with Allen Chapel since that time.
Signatures on the original deed
are Alvin r. Lacy, Joseph Coop
er, N. Freeman, Wiley Evans, and
Lewis Wood, trustees.
Thursday Program
The program for Thursday eve
ming at 8 p. m. will be both his
torical and musical.

amounting to $4,000 in the last
year TO underwrite continuing

What we are trying to do here
is part of a nationwide struggle
against infantile paralysis. The
incidence this year following the
high incidence of 1948 is unpre-
cendented in the history of the
disease in the United States. New

Too Much Rain
Cuts Production
Of Canning Plant
627.672 Cans Put Up
So Far; About 100
Employed There Now

An over abundance of rain will
cause the total canned sweet corn
output at the Milford Center
plant of the Stokley Food, Inc. to
be well below last year, according
to j. H. Simons, plant manager
at Milford.
The wet weather, some corn
borer damage, and less acreage
than in l948 will keep the l949
total output at approximately one
million cans. Last year the stag
gering sum of l25 million cans of
corn were processed at the Mil
ford Center factory. Usually about
1000 acres are planted under the
cannery's supervision each year
but this spring only 765 acres of
sweet corn were put out.
Besides its value to the farm
ers of the community the Stokley
Plant is a source of paTt-time
employment to approximately 100
residents of the Milford Center
area. The season usually last
about five or six weeks and dur
ing that time many persons OBJ
tain jobs there. Anyone passing
by the building at almost any
hour of the day or night will see
the plant brightly lighted and a
bee hive of activity.
The first load of corn was
brought in Aug. 8 and it was
estimated that the season will
last approximately three weeks
more During the two weeks the
plant. has been in operation 627,-
672 cans of sweet corn have been
processed. They are paying the
farmers Sl8 per ton for the corn
this year.
The corn borer has been
slight nuisance to the local grow
ers and the Stokley Co. has spon-
sored an airplane spraying pro-
ject to combat them. 1t was more
of an experiment in this area but
in other plant areas, such as To-
ledo and Norwalk along the lake,
the corn boTer has been a serious
menace to the corn crop and the
Company was forced to take such
action to protect its interests.
A total of $50 acres in this
plant area were busted by air
plane. The fields were given two
applications and there was some
loss but it was kept at a mini
mum.
A total of 10000 cans of corn
have been processed in one day
this summer although, of course,
the everage daily volumn of bus
ineSS in much less.

Nursing Paper
Requests More
Training

LONDON, Aug. 30. (ANNP)-
The London Nursing Times in a
recent edition asked that the gov
eminent build up a better pro-
gram for the training of colored
nurses in Great Britain, so that
nursing in the colonies may inn
prove.
The nursing journal pointed
out that there is no program for
training colonial nurses in post
certificate courses which would
prepare them for supervisory posi-
tons in their native countries. The
only colony whose nurses have
been so trained to any degree is
Hong Kong, the paper said.
At present about 400 student
urse r training in England,
the magazine revealed. They are
under the Queen Elizabeth Colo
NAL Nursing service which takes
in all the colonies. Its aim is to
make it possible for the colonies
to train their own nurses in the
future.
