MARBLEHEAD's ORTHODOX CHURCH
IS RE-ESTAbLIShED AS A full PARISH

For the first time in over 40
years, Marblehead's Russian Or
thodox Church has full-time pas
tor. He is the Rev. Daniel Hubiak,
who was installed into his new
pastorate July 4th by the Rev.
Vladimir Prislopsky, Cleveland,
Dean of the Ohio district.
On June 9th of this year, the
head of the Russian Orthodox
Church in America, His Eminence
Metropolitan Leonty, re-establish-
ed the Assumption of the Virgin
Mary Russian Orthodox Church at
Marblehead to a full parish.
During the last 40 years, the AS
sumption Church, known locally
as St. Mary's Russian Orthodox
Church, had been dependent upon
a sister parish in Bedford and its
pastor, the Very Rev. Basil Dzia-
ma alternated his services be-
tween the two parishes.
Rev. Hubiak is the son of Mrs
Susan Hubiak and the late Very
Rev. Afanasy Hubiak of Akron.
With his wife and infant son, he
arrived in Marblehead June %.
He is a graduate of Columbia Uni
versity with B. S. degree in Re-
ligion. At Columbia, Rev. Hubiak
served on the executive board Of
the Orthodox Christian Fellow
ship.
While in New York, Rev. HUI
biak studied at st. Vladimir's Or
thodox Theological Sem mary
where he was president of the stu
dent body for two years. 1t was
at the Russian Orthodox Cathed-
raj in New York that he met Ev-
elyn Martynuk and they were mar
ried Sept. 16, 1851.
Father Hubiak served as an as
Sistant pastor in Detroit parish
for nine months before coming to
Marblehead. Their daughter, Lar
ice, was born in that city. In De-
troit, Rev. Hubiak celebrated the
services in English each Sunday
and did much work in adapting
the English translations of the ser
vices to fit the beautiful, tradi-
tional Russian a cappella church
music.
Assumption parish is very proud
to be re-instated as a full parish
and it is happy to have Father HUI
biak as its first full-time pastor in
40 years. The parish is now busy
in preparation for its annual af-
fair which falls on the first Sun
day in August.
This year the parish will honor
the head of its church, Metropoli-
tan Leonty, who will come to Mar
blehead to celebrate the Divine
Liturgy on Sunday, Aug. 2. This

BUILDERS MUST
DISPLAY SIGN
PERMIT IN CITY

Building permits and sign erec-
tionS were discussed at Tuesdays
Council meeting with Councilman
Robert Reynolds taking the initia-
tive. In the future, anyone plan
ming construction work must get
a permit from the City Auditor
and this permit is to be in the
form of a placard which the con-
tractor or builder must erect con-
spicuously in front of the construc-
ton project. Police will enforce
this regulation and violators will
be punished.
Reynolds also asked that the
ordinance regulating erection of
signs be enforced and that no
signs be nailed to trees along
boulevards within city limits. He
especially sited two signs at the
corner of Fulton and East Second
streets.
Councilman Lee Bracken compli-
mented the Island House manage
ment for improvements since
buildings at the rear were torn
down and the parking area con-
structed. 'This private job could
have been done in a haphazard
way, but it's definitely a big inn
provement," Bracken stated.
Merlin Besso, Chester Burr,
Charles Gerding and other prop
erty owners of the South Monroe
Street area appeared before coun-
Gil to seek fire protection in that
area. AS there are no hydrants
now available, the men were told
to submit petitions as soon as pos
Sible.
Boyd Martin also appeared to
ask progress of the Monroe-Alice
streets paving project. City Solic-
itor John Reinheimer said the work
is being held up until petitions
can be checked. Grandchildren of
one deceased property owner must
sign off before further action is
started.

known. The two fishermen had
left Wightman's Grove at 5 am.
and their boat presumably over
turned at the mouth of the San
dusky River at 8 am, when Mr.
Detrow's watch stopped.
M ar b e h e ad Coastguardsmen
were called to the scene but were
unable to ascertain where to be-
gin dragging operations. Detrow
was able to tell highway patrolmen
from the Bay Bridge station that
he had pulled Mr.. Short back to
the overturned boat several times
when the elder man slipped off,
but that finally he was too ex-
hausted to attempt further rescue
work. Detrow had no idea when
Mr.. Short had drowned nor could
he give the location.
When the boat overturned, the
wind was from the west but it
shifted and carried the boat and
the men southeast later in the day.
Mr.. Short could have drowned any
where within a five-mile Sandusky
Bay radius, coastguardsmen said.

WRECK OF SCHOONER
RICHARD S. SPOFFORD

The storm that wrecked havoc
on the New Jersey Coast Deem
Der q, 1894, involved the Rich
ard S. Spofford, during the same
night on the Coast of North
Carolina and left her, a total
wreck, some 10 miles southwest
of Ocracoke Life-Saving station,
Sixth DISTRICT N. c.
The Spofford carried eight
men, all told, and one was lost.
She was a three-masted center
board schooner of four hundred
and lightweight tons measure
ment, built in 1890, at Newber-
port, Massachusetts,, and hailed
from Boston, whence she sailed
December %, 1894, bound for
Darien, Georgia, in ballast, sixty
tons of stone having been taken
on board for that. purpose. The
master was Captain Roger S.
Hawkes., of Dennisport, Mass
achusetts, who stated that his
voyage was pleasant and without
noteworthy incident until about
noon of Wednesday, the 18th,
when a stiff wind came in
squalls from the south south
east and the weather was thick.
At eight O'Clock that night,
when the schooner was on the
western edge of the Gulf Stream,
the wind canted to the south
southeast, blowing heavily and
with rapidly growing strength.
Captain Halves at once reduced
his canvas to a single-reefed
mainsail and close-reefed fore
sail, and anticipating that when
the wind would shift it would
be to the westward, wore ship
and stood on the westerly tack
for the purpose of working to-
ward the land in order to take
advantage of the expected
change of wind when he would
resume course down the coast.
BY midnight the gale was fierce,
sweeping along at the rate of
nearly so miles an hour, and the
captain states that he would
have gladly put his vessel on
the offshore tack, but did not
dare to make the attempt for
fear of losing his mainsail. The
centerboard was down full
depth, making the vessels draft
about twenty feet, and under
the short sail she carried her
progress was estimated to be
only four knots an hour. At
one o'clock the gale hauled to
little east of south, mounting to
a hurricane and the atmosphere
was thick with driving sleet and
rain, cutting so keenly that the
