BUFFET SUPPER
BY METHODISTS
OF KITTY HAWK
Pastor Grateful to Many Non
Residents Who Contributed
TO New Ed. BUILDING


The Woman's Society of Chris
tan Service will sponsor a Buff
tet Supper at the Kitty Hawk
methodist Church on December
9th to raise funds for redecorating
the Sanctuary. The supper will be
held from the hours of 5:O0-S:O0
p.m., Mrs. Edgar Perry, Chairman
of the project announced recently.
Workmen under the direction of
the Building Superintendent, Elijah
w. Baum, are hurIying to COM
plete the kitchen and fellowship
hall Of the new building for this
occasion. The supper will be the
first of its kind in the building.
Funds not provided in the edu-
cational building budget are need
ed to paint the ceiling of the Sane
tuaIy and provide a new surface
for the floors.
"The condition of the main
building should not be neglected
as we move towards completion of
the new addition" their Pastor,
the Rev. Stanley S. Snead was
quoted as saying. "The women of
the church have for many years
shouldered such projects as a mat
ter of course and challenge in MAX
ing improvements" he added.
Mrs. Fannie B. Perry, the
Building Fund Treasurer reported
a balance of $4,000 on November
22nd. She stated that further bills
for electrical work, building ma
terials, plumbing facilities, and
worlunen's wages will exhaust the
fund in three or four weeks. Some
firms have implied that they will
hold their bills until any deficits
can be replaced, when Operation
red" is evident. To date all bills
have been paid upon receipt of
them. ($3S,000 has been raised to
date.)
Many of the workmen have
given back a part of their wages
for construction purposes and a few
have given of their pledged labor.
Mr.. Edgar Perry of Kill Devil Hills
will sand the floors as voluntary
contribution. He recently completed
the floors of the Pastors Study for
occupancy this week.
Classes were first held in the
Educational Building as early as
the latter part of August when re-
construction to the Sanctuary
caused the loss of three classroomS
in the main building. The week
after the steel steps arrived in
November, the Young Peoples
class met on the second floor.
"Our economic situation has not
been such. that we could finance
such structure alone" Rev. Snead
quoted as saying. "We are indebt-
ed to the many hundreds of con-
trib,ttors whose gifts have given
us this opportunity of greater
Christian education. We wish to
thank our neighbors and friends
of Dare County and the many in
terested persons across the nation. ="
The gradual and progressive
growth of the tourist element has
made it necessary for the Kitty
Hawk Methodist Church to expand
its facilities for worship and re-
hgious education.
A staunch Building Fund Cam
paigner is the Building Fund
Chairman, Pennel A. Tillett. His
craftsmanship on this project has
informed people for the past few
years of the economic needs of
this construction-with results.
Since the $4,000 building costs
do not include any renovations,
other than those in the plans, the
Women's Society of Christian
Service decided to shoulder the
project for Sanctuary redecoration
The Buffet Supper to be held on
the first Saturday evening in De-
cember should in part pay for
necessary decorations. Tickets are
on sale throughout the County at
81 each.
Their pastor requests that as
many persons who will to be part
of a cleanup" project on this
Saturday afternoon, November
28th. The cleanup will pave the
way for further landscaping neces-
sary to building completion, which
is expected sometime in January
or February.
