Speaking of Institutes, that re-
minds me of an incident that hap
pened at Graytown during World
War H. 1t was decided that it
would be a good idea to auction
the baked goods exhibits that the
ladies had brought, the proceeds
to go to the Red Cross One of
our good neighbors, Melvin Oest-
rich, very gra,iously consented to
serve as auctioneer for this event,
and he was doing fine, folks were
really bidding good. Finally he
came to a lovely, Slayer chocolate
cake, it was really a big cake.
"Pete" was sure that this cake
should bring a gCodly sum, he was

eytolling the virtues of this article
of baked c0Gos, and he kept ex
claiming about what a nice heavy
cake it was. ir1plying that who
ever bought it was really getting
his moneys worth because there
was a lot of cake there He con-
tinued to stress what a nice, heavy
cake it was and the ladies in the
audience we're really getting a
boot out of it, but we knew that
Mr.. Oestrich was just trying to
prove to us what a good cake it
was. Well, as it turned out, it
really was good, the family who
bought it said it was just delicious.
Pete has been kidded lot about
this cake incident, but he's a "jolly
good fellow" and doesn't mind,
he's still always willing to help
with anything that he's asked to
do, although I suppose if he's ever
asked to auction any cakes again,
he'll tell how light they are and
not how heavy.

Schmit then speaks on some phase
of the church.
The st. TIL mas Episcopal
Church, which is instructed by
Rev. Perry M. Blankenship, has

and are talking about marriages.
The E. U. B. Church, under the

has approximately 18 students.
They have been studying the diff
ferent symbols of the church and
what they mean, and the architec-
ture of the church and its mean
ing. The history of the church
was studied also.
The Peace Lutheran Church,
which is conducted by Rev. Hart
wig Pruess, has 21 students. In
this class they have talked about
being 1000 Christian and about
the Ten Commandments Rev. Corl

Lords Prayer. Several movies
have also been shown during some

Rev. Orville Awe has been con-

The Religious Education classes
began about 20 years ago with all
the churches meeting in the high

Catholic students who went to their
own church. 1t was just a few
years ago that the students started
going to their own churches for
class.

Substitute Bill
On Court Voted

The Senate yesterday approved
and sent to the House bill to
transfer all domestic relation
matters from the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia to the Municipal Court.
The action was taken without
a single objection, after brief
explanation was made by Sena-
tor Morse, Democrat, of Oregon,
chairman of the judiciary sub
committee of the Senate District
Committees.
The measure passed is sub
stitute for an earlier bill, pro-
posing the creation of a separate
Family Court for the District.
Senator Morse said the commit
tee bill would accomplish the
maximum good proposed in the
Family Court bill and that this
procedure, in the approved bill,
should be tried for a time. Con-
sideration might later be given
to the separate Family Court
plan, he said.
Domestic relations cases will
be handled by one or more judges
who would be assigned to consti-
tute a domestic relations branch
of Municipal Court.
To take care Of the extra work
load on the city court. two addi-
tional judges are authorized.
Also. the bill authorizes the ap-
pointment Of commissioners who
would work as agents of the
Municipal Court in investigating
facts in pending cases.
