Bobby Layne and his battery

especially since Detroit usually
wins the must" games.
The Giants, who bounced the
Steelers out of first place earlier
this season., will try to trim
Pittsburgh again although Half

terback Charley Conerly are out
with wrenched knees, as is Pat

Yes, there are many signs OF
progress all over the church and
yard and as was said by one of
group who visited us one Sunday
morning from another church -
There is a warmth and friendly
feeling of welcome and goodwill
to all who enter the doors.
About three months ago our
pastor was hospitalized, but he is
back now and with the good Of the
church forever in the forefront of
his mind, he's making plans to
entertain the Northwest Confer
ence in September.
And what of the rest of the
family? Martin Luther Jr. enters
the first grade in the fall; Phyllis
Marie is running all over the
place, singing and listening to re-
cords being played for long per-
iods of time. Mrs. Simmons is
for the little folks choir for which
supervising the robes being made
she and Mrs. Sylvia Little, both
share responsibilities.
Many improvements are being
made on the parsonage, so all is
well with the NJ. L. Simmons after
one year in the New st. Peters.
