John William Kline, senior stu
dent at the Lutheran Theological
Seminary in Gettysburg, has ac-
cepted a call to serve the three
Lutheran churches in the Bittinger
parish.
After accepting the unanimous
call of the parish, Pastor Kline
plans to come to Bittinger every
weekend and expects to do some
visiting and attend to other pas
toral duties. He has made known
his desire for members to give to
him the names of any sick in the
parish, or any in other need of his
ministry.
He plans to move into the par
sonage at Bittingcr soon after his
graduation on March 6.
Mr.. Kline was born in suburban
Philadelphia. He attended State
Teachers college, West Chester,
Pa, and Drew Theological School,
He was formerly of the Metho-
dist faith, and served the ThOmp-
son Methodist parish, Thompson,
Pa. from June. 1856 to June 1857.
Both he and his wife then be-
came Lutherans, and he enrolled
as a student at the Gettysburg
Theological Seminary. He is a
graduate in music education, and
his wife, a graduate of Penn State
college, is also a graduate in music.
This parish has been without a
pastor for three years, since the
death of the last pastor, James A.
Allan. They have been served
regularly by students from the
seminary at Gettysburg, and the
parish work has gone on in all the
churches. During that period some
physical improvements were made
in all the churches. New floors
and new peWs we're installed in St.
Johns church, Meadow Mountain,
and the new church hymnals are
now in use in this congregation.
At Zion, Jennings, a new floor
covering and other improvements
were made, and new electronic
organ was purchased At Emmanu-
ell Bittingcr, improvements were
made in the basement and new
electronic organ was purchased.
New hymnals will soon be in use

Teen Age Club Will
Provide Baskets

Members of the Oakland Teen
Age club are planning to provide
baskets of food and clothing for
four families of the community
who are in need.
The Teen club, which has some
money in the treasury, will buy
the food for the baskets and the
members are asking for contribu-
tons of toys or clothing from indi-
viduals or organizations.
Fred Tichnell. club manager, re-
vealed that there are twelve girls
and fifteen boys in these families.
The girls range in age from six to
eighteen years, while the boys
range in age from two to seventeen.
Any person having clothing or
toys may contact Mr.. Tichnell at
DE 4-2468. or Kenneth Martin, DE
4-2380. They will pick up the ma
terial from any point or it may be
dropped off at the homes of either
Mr.. Tichnell or Mr.. Martin.
Tichnell said that if there would
be an excess of items that they
have other persons in mind that
could be helped also. He asked
that people be liberal. Tichnell said
the idea of helping these families
came from the teen-agers them
selves.

Former A E'eM Resident Victim
Of SlT'Mn0EeT. ira baltimore

A 61-year-old practical nurse and
housekeeper, who was a former
area resident, went out to sweep
the sidewalk in front of her home
last Sunday morning in Baltimore.
An hour later, she was found
Strangled
The victim, Mrs. LOttic R. Right,
lived with and cared for an invalid
woman Police found the body
shortly after a m. and thus far
have been unable TO explain the
circumstances of her death. Police
we're called in by the victims 49,
year-old daughter VINO became
alarmed when her mother failed to
return from sweeping the side
walk.
Mrs. Right was the daughter of
the late Elder Emra r. Fike and
Rebecca Umble Fike, and was born
near Eglon, July 6, 1897. Rev.
Olonzo p. Fike, formerly of Acct
dent, now residing in Baltimore, is
a brother, and the woman has a
number of cousins by name of
Right in this area.
Police said there we're no signs
of a struggle or wounds except for
small scratches on the neck. Her
hands were clenched and bloody,
leading police to believe she might
have scratched her aSSailant. She
was fully dressed except for her
bedroom slippers. Police found a
trail of tiny blood spots leading
along an alley beside the house.
The daughter told police her
mother had gone outside about
$50 to begin the chore which she
performed every day before going
to church. When she looked out
side about 7:30 she could find only
the broom, dustpan and bucket and
the pair of bedroom slippers. She
was found in the neighboring area
way.
Police broadcast a lookout for
men with scratched faces and took
samplings of the blood spots. The
bloodstainS we're found not be the
type of the slain Woman'S blood
proving the woman had injured her
assailant before she was slain.
1t was theorized that she must
have struck her assailant on the
nose, possibly with the broom
handle, causing it to bleed pro-
fusely Investigators continued tc
| pick up for questioning men with
cuts on their faces. Several were
released after their alibis were
checked by police.
Mrs. Right is survived by hel
