Pastors to Meet
IN Seminars

DALLAS, Texas--Dean Fisher
announces that great emphasis
is placed on the five ministers
seminars to be held during the
weeks Congress session and
will highlight the meeting. Rev,
| c. A. w. Clark. Pastor of Good
Street Baptist Church, 902 Gen.
trail Expressway, Dallas, Texas
will serve as host to the five
seminars Of the Pastors Con-
ferences, June 1928 1857. The
ST. James A. M. f. Temple will
take care Of the overflow of
ministers. The Temple is half
block from Good Street Baptist
Church.
The Seminars of the Pastors
Conference will be a most in
teresting and thrilling feature
of the Congress carried on by
outstanding pastors and church
men. The aim of the Pastors
Conference is to give great pow
or, radiance. balance and autho-
rity to the preaching service.
In other words the Four Year
Progrem for ministers have been
arranged with contemplation in
view that if ministers would
lead they must stay in front and
extend the program of Chris
tan Education to the fields OF
labor, government, craftsmanship
and world diplomacy. Christion
leadership must be so exfendec
that men will lose all thought
of the narrow idea that is con-
fined purely to church circles

phis. Tenn, who will head the

gestion that a group of distin-

of the address. In evaluating the
speech, Moron compared it to
that made by General George c.
Marshall, at Harvard, in which
he outlined the Marshall Plan.
Two other commencement adj

Churchill's speech at Fulton,
Mo-, and President Eisenhower's
speech last year at Baylor. Tex.

Food Scoop

Handspring lamb has
finally arrived in most mar
kets to create the greatest
news at the meat counters.
Prices are still high and
the original animals are
small. However, quality is
good. Some stores are cele-
brating the supply of this
new item by special sales
on lamb legs, shoulder
roasts and rib chops.
BEEF-Little change has
occurred in the supply
prices of beef. Though
there is ample of the top
quality beef available, more
of the CRASHED medium
grades are appearing. This
beef is always less expen-
sive, and it is just as nutri-
tious and full of flavor as
the higher grades if it is
cooked by moist cooking
methods. Some markets are
featuring this grade of beef
for 15-25c q pound less
than the higher grades.

Short
State, Says Hart

Lieutenant Governor Philip
A. Hart this week oppressed dis
appointment the Legislature in
its recently ended session took
no action on a number of pro-
posals which Hart said would
have "aided Michigan business,
especially small business, and at
the same time promoted the
general welfare"
TN at least four important
areas legislative inaction short
changed Michigan business"
said Hart. in q ielevision re-
pert on the Legislatures 1857
session.
He listed the Legislatures
lack of support for research on
how the st. Lawrence Seaway
can most benefit Michigan bust
ness, inadequate support for the
work of the states Economic
Development Department, mac
ton on the Governors recon-
mendation of a Small Business
Institute to help small business
men through a system Of small
business county agents." and
Legislative cuts in the building
programs of state universities,
especially in engineering.
AT time when Soviet Rus
STA is pulling well ahead of the
United States in the number of
engineers graduated each year.
did it make good sense for the
Leg stature to cut out total of
six engineering building con-
struction projects at three of
our state universities and col
lcges?
II think not" said the Lieu
tenant Governor. Business is
being hurt already by the short
age of engineers. and the day
may come when the entire ma
tior will suffer because of it.
1T seems 20 me the business
community will understands
that our universities can't stand
still in the face of accommodating
needs of Michigan's increasing
population
Hart said the Legislature ap-
propriated "a mere $500" for
research on how the st. Law
renee Seawav can best be made
to serve MICHIGAN business,
rather than the $4,000 the Gov
ernor asked.
He said cuts in the recon-
mended budget for the Eco
nomic Development Department
mean the Department won't be
able to open a Washington office
or to expand its nationwide adj
vertising porgram aimed at
bringing new industries to Mich

pERspIRATIoN STAINS

Have some of your summer
cottons become persplratlon
stained? These stains are often
the reason a dress will hang III

Nina Lou Baird, of Michigan
State University Cooperative
Extension Service. tells US that
it is best TO remove the strain
as soon as possible since the
older the stain the harder II is
to remove.
A fresh stain of this kind
usually can be removed by
dampening the strained area
with water and then holding il
ever the fumes Of bottle OF
ammonia for few minutes.
If the fabric will net water

with a mixture OF hals am
monia and half water.
If the color starts 10 fade

with white vinegar and the fad

Stains that have been allcwca
to set for few days or even
longer will become alkaline so
reverse this process. That is, use
a little white vinegar on the
stain first. Then if the mater al
fades, use the ammonia solution.
Precipitation stains on white
