Lutherans TO Turn
Over Home 10
Municipality Of StTho.

The Lutheran Church will
soon transfer without cost to
the municipality, the "Ebene-
ger Home" which has been
under the control of the
Church since 1927.
1t is expected that the pro-
perry, northwest of the Mall
Park, will be used as kinder
garten school. On October l.,
the municipality must give up
the building at Berg Homes
which had been used as a kim
dergarten for ten years.
The "Ebenezer Home" pro-
perty was first deededto the
Dutch Reformed Church by
EE@ E#
the Danish Government which
stipulated that the Church
must build an old lady's home
and maintain it, otherwise the
property would go back to the
government. The Reformed
Church turned the property
over to the Lutherans under
the same conditions in 1927.
Presently there are four per-
sons living there. The Luth-
Grams have been experiencing
difficulties in maintaining the
Home.
