United Church Women
Planning Activities
Six Councils In State Are
Working Together

The history of the work of
United Church Women in the
State of Delaware is one filled
with the spirit of unselfish service
in the various communities in
which it functions. 1t can only
be told through the lives of dedi-
Gated women to the cause of a
united effort speaking for Protes-
tantism in the churches through
out the vast sections of Delaware.
Many cOnsecrated women Of all
denominations, creeds and races
have been brought together to
work for a common cause; that is
to speak as with one voice for all
humankind, our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ.
The six councils in the State,
comprising the churches in Mil
ford, Georgetown, Dover, Newark,
Wilmington and Lower New Castle
County, which is the youngest and
newest council, follow the pro-
gram established by the General
Department of the National Coun-
Gil of Churches.
The new council was formed
last year and is now functioning
in all departments under the
President, Mrs. Floyd Early. This
year the Annual Meeting will be
held in Middletown on April 22nd
and our baby" council will act as
hostess to all the delegates and
officers from all over the state.
Over this land, in forty states and
the Dominion of Hawaii and Alas
ka, as we'll as in 26 foreign cOun-
tries, church women combine their
efforts in the work and program
of this group.
They observe three special days,

Pastor Of Calvary Meth
Odist Church, Milford,
Used AS His Subject,
''WOman And Easter"

This Lenten season, when the i'm
pOrtant focus is on Easter and the
happenings of two thousand years
ago, no message could be more
meaningful to a group than that
given to the members of the Mil
ford New Century Club on Monday
by the Rev DOnzel Wildey, pastor
of Calvary Church. His subject,
"The Woman and Easter, and its
portrayal of Mary Magdelene, full
of human qualities before her close
touch with her Master, her SYM
pathy, understanding and support
of Mary, the Mother, at the Cross,
and the climax as she saw the Mas
ter after burial made a tender and
deepening appreciation of her
transformation and entire cOnvic-
tiOn. Mr.. Wildey paid a fine tribute
to wOmanhOOd, as he said they ad
ministered to loved ones at birth,
in the active years and at death He
left a moved audience, who showed
their appreciation by sincere re-
marks about his message. Mrs. Cal
vim White was chairman for the
afternoon.
During the business part of the
meeting Thomas Faix presented the
members with a list of the bills
now pending in the State Legisla-
ture and asked the support of the
members by writing to legislative
representative for Fair Dismissal
Bill, Teacher Salary Bill, Pension
Bill and OUt-Of-State Credit Bill
Mr.. Faix gave logical reasons in
support of each measure and an
swered several questions to the
satisfaction of the members.

20, had close call from injury
if not Wednesday, May 18th
at TIA a. m. when a boiler in

light the furnace. He was about to
climb ladder to open a gas valve

Two furnaces are located in a
two-story brick building attached
to the six-year old high school
building erected at a cost of 81
million dollars.
Business Manager Frank Mills
said the Hartford Steam Boiler &
Insurance Co. in a report dated
May 18th commended the board of
education for its boiler mainten-
ance.
Mr.. Cowles has been employed
by the Euclid Board of Education

High School
Night Class
At Euclid

Euclid's Adult Education pro-

school credit courses to be sched-
ule of classes for next year. This
will mean that students who have
left school without completing
their work for a high school di-
ploma will have the opportunity
to finish up their work through
evening classes at Euclid Senior
Hight School.
Such students in the northeast
area of greater Cleveland will no
longer have to travel for such
work, will be able to take advant-
age of the parking facilities avail
able, and can get their required
subjects in the modern Euclid Sem
ior High School.
Courses in English, Uni t e d
States History, American Govern
ment, Algebra, intermediate and
College Algebra, Trigonometry and
Solid Geometry, and Plane Geom-
etry are being planned. Others can
be installed if there is a demand.
1t is hoped that this chance to
complete high school work for a
diploma is given serious considera-
tion. Further information can be
obtained by calling the adult edu-
cation office of Euclid, RE. 1908.

Two Nights Left
For Y Canteen

The Y Canteen Committee is
announcing its program for the
next two canteens. This Friday,
May 10th, there will be another
Slop Hop, this repeater being at
the request of all you fellows and
girls who had such a good time at
the first one. No shorts, but Ber-
mudas, toreadores and levies are
right in style.
The result of the committees
latest work - new floodlights to
create more danceable mood, will
be enjoyed. The lights were OBJ
tanned through efforts of Presi-
dent Jim Angle and Jim Hossel.
The committee has voted to close
the ping pong table to allow more
room for dancing, but there will
be pool, as usual.
The ninth-graders have decided
they want little more sophisti-
cation at the last canteen before
class day June 3rd. Yvonne Kovach
and Audrey Laughney are plan
ming refreshments. Linda Dysert,
Barb Plesnicar, Ginny Regan and
Sandy Cianci will brighten the
canteen with color.
You will not want to miss these
two canteens nor the summer cam
teens which will begin meeting out
doors for five straight weeks, prob
ably June 18th. Watch for summer
programs!

New Bill Opens Door
To Retired Teacher

To include retired school tech
ers to return to the class room, a
bill has been passed in the Ohio
Legislature permitting teachers to
work full time and still draw re-
tirement benefits based on their
contributions to the state pension
system. They would not receive
benefits from the state share of
contributions to their annuities
while teaching under this bill.
Under the law which this new
measure succeeds, retired teachers
could teach SO days a year as
substitutes, and still receive their
full retirement compensation.
