A 24-hour vigil on The Mall inl
London with sight-seers, schoolboys
and even a half-mad woman, to be
sure of front-row vantage point in
viewing the coronation parade for
Queen Elizabeth the Second is the
subject of letter received this week
from Miss Esther Berky, daughter
of Prof. and Mrs. H. w. Berky, of
Spring street.
Miss Berky has been in England
for the last year as student at Ok
ford, but took time out from her
studies to view the coronation, as
described in the following excerpts
from her letter:
eff you've read in the papers about
the crowds of people who waited
hours and hours in the cold and wet
for the arrival of the Queen you were
reading about me, The French
Mademoiselle and / stood, sat and
lay on the footpath for twenty four
hours until the Queen passed by and
then carried on for six more until
the procession returned from the Abb
bey. Actually it was great fun and
if had it to do over again wouldn't
have taken seat in the stands if it
were given me for a gift. You have
such a feeling of comradship with
your fellow squatsers and such q feel
ing of accomplishment, rather like
that of a mountain climber, when the
long wait is finally ended.
"But now for two days and a night
on the footpath AS you probably
know some super loyalists had al
ready begun to "sit" on the evening
of May 81 and l was quite worried
there would be no places left by
morning but l did feel that two days
and nights of that would be a bit
much so | decided to risk waiting
and met Giselle at 9:30 a. m. on June
1st at Waterloo as planned. We were
both armed with all manner of food
sweaters, coats, scarves etc. for the
fray. We headed straight for Ira
falgar Square where all the best
places were already taken by people
who had obviously spent the night
there.

.BlufftOn Minister
Heads New Union
Of MennOnites
Rev. Short Elected
President OF Conference
At Omaha Meeting

A Blutfton clergyman played
leading role last Sunday at Omaha,
Neb., when a new chapter in Men
MONTE history was opened in the 400
year history of the denomination.
The Rev. Reuben Short, pastor of
the Evangelical Mennonite church of
Bluffton, presided as the first presi-
dent of the newly organized Confer
ence of Evangelical Mennonites which
united two fellowships of the church
representing 35 congregations.
At the close of the third official
meeting of delegates of the two
groups, Rev. Mr.. Short, led the group
an an act Of inauguration officially
declaring the beginning of the new
conference. The inaugural prayer
was offered by DIR. John r. Dick,
dean of Grace Bible Institute and vice
president of the new conference. The
Rev. H. E. Bertsche of Archbold,
Ohio, gave the Inauguration mes
sage.
During the three-day conference
held at the Grace Bible Institute an
administrative plan for the new con-
ference was decided on and general
executive board of eight members
were elected--four to each of four
commissions, Missions, Education,
Promotion and Departments. A fifth
member from the executive board is
appointed to each of these commits
sions.
Both of the uniting groups separaU-
ed from more conservative bodies of
Mennonites about rs years ago over
the insistence on a personal exper-
ience of salvation and a definite
change of heart as opposed to a
traditional or catechetical joining the
church and a formal way of life.
Although widely separated geo.
graphically, the ties between the two
conferences have been strengthened
during the years. Both have strong
home and foreign missionary pro-
grams supporting more than 75 mis-
sionaries on foreign fields and with
combined contributions for missions
totaling more than $175,000.

Work is expected to start soon after

of $110,750. A second wing will be
added when the need arises. The
complete building will provide living
accommodations for approximately 40
persons and the superintendent's fam
lily.
Delvin Kirchhofer, presently super
visor of Brooklane Farm hospital,

regarding the possibility of a JOINT
settlement combining disposition OF
the villages once-withdrawn suit to
sobtain a sewer easement across the
.Motter farm together with Motter's
two-year-old pollution damage suit
against the town.
Their decision came on the heels
sof a meeting Monday with a panel
of disinterested farmers, businessmen
and others. From this session coun-
cilmen emerged with a Recommended
ton by the disinterested parties as to
what amount of money should be of
fered to Motter as an inducement to
effect a settlement of the two actions
out of court.
Should it be possible to arrive at a
satisfactory settlement involving dis
posal of both court cases expense and
worry would be sidestepped by mu-
nicipal officials.
Identity of the members Of the
panel which advised councilmen at
their meeting Monday night was kept
off the record by city officials, in
compliance with the request of those
who consented to serve in the advis-
ory capacity, it was announced by
Mayor w. A. Howe.
Should it be found impossible to
proceed with combined settlement
disposing of both cases mutually sat
isfactorily, the town then will I'M
mediately file its easement suit again
asking the court to set an early date
for the hearing.
