Flower Hill


The Young People of all the
churches of Upper Montgomery
County will meet next week, Fri
day, January 30, for a fellowship
banquet, at the Flower Hill Church
of the Brethren. The youth of that
church have organized the meal
and invited the young people of
the other churches to participate.
While there is no organization
calling the meeting, the young
people hope that out of the occasion
there will come an organization to
promote fellowship and sociability
among all church young people
from Upper Montgomery County.
1t is hoped that every congrega-
ton of every denomination will be
represented and participate in any
planning that is done.
Anv young person who does not
feel like an integral part of one
of the church groups, and is in
terested in promoting a common
fellowship among youth can find
out the particulars, by calling Rev.
Arthur L. Warner, pastor Of
Flower Hill. at Gaithersburg 375-
J-2. An invitation to speak has
been extended to DR.. John Baxter
Howes, professor of Religions, at
the seminary at Westminster, Md.
The banquet will be served at 7
o'clock, and the cost will be $1.00.
Any interested person is welcome,
and an effort to reach all ministers
has been made. so that any church
connected youth can inquire of their
cwn pastors.
Next Sunday Night the sound
movie, "The African Prince" in
technicolor, will be shown at Flower
Hill Church of the Brethren. 1t
depicts the adventures of an Afri-
can prince, who becomes leprous.
and is an excellent portrayal Of
African customs and beliefs. 1t is
highly recommended as being a
picture on a. professional standard.
Every body is welcome to come and
enjoy it.

Conference on Church and State

The Star is to be complimented for
its objective news coverage Of the Fifth
National Conference on Church and
State held here on January IA and is
by Protestants and Other Americans
United for the Separation of Church
and State.
However, The Star, inadvertently
perhaps, made one significant omission
in each Of its three stories on the con-
ference's proceedings. Neither story
noted the relatively few persons who
attended what was widely advertised as
. national meeting. The small attend
ance is important because it clearly
demonstrates that POAU is fading from
the American scene.
A total of 118 persons were present
for the dinner meeting on January IA,
81 at the morning workshop and II at
the afternoon sessions of the conference
on January Is. The presiding officer at
the latter apologized to the guest
speaker from New York for the small
attendance, which also included many
paid and other functionaries of POAU.
What had been advertised as ma
tional mass meeting by POAU was held
the evening Of January Is at Constitu-
tion Hall. According to the estimates
of two regular employees there. between

then only to q certain portion OF it,
for not all males are attuned to jokes,
any more than all are to skating.
Jones remembers when the clerks Of
the various Government departments
skated to work on two-wheeled roller
skates.
These were affixed to shoes.
Hundreds of clerks skated along the
smooth asphalt streets in the old horse
and-buggy days, now gone without a
possibility Of return.
In those days, in the late '90S and
early 190Os, Washington streets were
broad, smooth and almost deserted, as
compared to conditions today.
The Government workers, mostly
male skated from curb to curb, and
hundreds Of them could be seen every
morning going down Sixteenth street.
Temp Jones was 10 years old at the
time. The time, for him, was top spin
ming time.
What has become of the top, as q
child;s toy?
In the old days. Jones and his COM
rades specialized in whipping tops.
Some went in for the overhead throw,
but Jones. with his usual disregard for
herd culture. specialized in the under
hand throw.
He struck the top sQuarely on its
point and by a whip movement with
his arm managed to make it slide along
the smooth street for q half block or
more.
