ST. PETERS AME CHURCH

Sunday. August End, was an
other damp gloomy day; but both
Sunday School and church were
well attended. After an altar call
where many knelt for prayer
Holy Communion was given to all
who came to partake.
The church lawn has a new
look; new sod has been placed all
over the grounds and the hillside
back of the church giving il the
appearance of a lovely green
carpet.
Plans for a Women's Day pro-
gram are getting under way I'M
der the guidance of Mrs. Celia
BOYD and Mrs. Edith Bowman,
and their committees. II is so
necessary that we all give our
best support to this financial
effort, for it is through this that
we pay our claims to the Gen.
eral church. An organization that
came into being in the same year
and in the same city as our own
nation should be given our best
support. st. Peters is a part of
the Northwestern Conference of
the Fourth Episcopal District
with the Right Rev. George W.
Baber presiding Bishop. Let's help
our minister to the conference so
he can get back and be on with
the work at hand.

for 80 years. said the whites sin
cerely believed In their practices
OF prejudice although their old
policies are proving TO be strain
on that nations economy. He de-
piorcd laws that are keeping the
natives down and expressed the
feeling that America could never
stand for such dual citizenship.
DIR. Smiley Blanton. psychiatry

public opinion polls and social

:" The churchgoer who per-

House For Mugs

WILLIAMSBURG, Pa. - (P) -
Louis Miller, an auto dealer, is a
man who will trade house to
perpetuate his hobby of collecting
old shaving mugs. Miller recently
ended months of negotiating with
an old German barber, near Man
or, Pa. The barber got a. house and
Miller five mugs.
The auto dealer said at first the
barber wouldn't have anything to
do with him because he thought
he was an antique dealer and he
didn't like antique dealers. Then,
Miller learned from the BARRIERS s
son that the elderly man wanted to
build small house and didn't have
much money. So, he told the bar
ber's son to come and get the W.
cant house on lot near his gar
age. The house was trucked to
Manor and Miller had the pick of
the barber's collection.
