WelC0n1s Some
'LoUely' Friends

BELONA. Mar. 10 = There is
very little news to report at this
ime as the chief topic of con-
yersaticn is the weather. 1t
Gems quite strange that such a
leep snow and2very cold weather
hould visit us when Spring ar
ives on the Goth of this month.
There have been some lovely
friends at "Birdland Farm" even
though the weather was bad. OF
course, Dickie and many other
hooking birds have enjoyed the
raisins they were served.
Numerous state birds have
been with us, also iuncos, blue
jays, meadoWlarkS, TOWN. S,
woodpeckers, and many other
birds. They are all provided with
food and water.
Guests of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H.
Dobbirs on Sunday were Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Gravatt, Mr..
and Mrs. John Gravatt and Mrs.
Grace Rada, all of Richmond.
Services were not held at many
of the churches in PoWhatan on
Sunday due to the snow on the
roads. Highways have been look
ed after, but some side roads are
still hazardous.
The Rev. Joseph Matthews
conducted his regular service on
Sunday morning at Providence
Church. The attendance was
quite good considering the wea-
Their, and there is some sick
ness in the community.
The service was not held at
Emmanuel Episcopal Church on
Sunday morning as usual nor was
there Sunday School, as it is
difficult to get there when the
snow is so deep.
Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Muriel
Dunevant and her three children,
Rodger, Pat and Billy, and Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Ragland, Of
Knoxville, visited Miss Parkie
Durevant at "Birdland Farm
the home of Miss Birdie Baugh.
The Rev. Wilson M. Stitt, rec
tor of Emmanuel Church, called
Monday afternoon on Miss Birdie
Baugh. He is always a most
welcome visitor in all homes.
Miss Eleanor Walthall did not
spend the week end with her
mother as usual. No doubt the
bad weather prevented her from
leaving Richmond on Friday.

children, of Fife, visited Mr.. and

Social security checks may not
be delivered to some beneficiaries
in this area on time this month,
Glen A. Gardner, Manager of the

"Any change of address should
be reported timely to insure regu-

continued. Social security benefits
are mailed automatically, once a

however, payments are delayed

filed, postcard forms are furnished
for beneficiarieS to make these
reports. To avoid delay and hard

to in livestock circles as the ma

Immediately following the
amendment of the federal Packers

plicable to all livestock marketing
transactions in commerce, the
Market Council inaugurated regu-
lar trade practice conferences
with the USDA's Livestock Divi-

The first two such conferences
resulted in the issuance of a
"Guide for Livestock Market
Operations and Services" by the
Council, with the endorsement OF

The Council and industry; have
urged greater acceptance of mar

WHAT is ESTARL?

The word comes from Eastern
Star Training for Religious
Leadership.
The project was started in 1852,
and since then has invested over
three quarters of a million dollars
in about twenty five hundred
scholarships to young college stu
dents who are planning to enter
the Protestant ministry or the
mission field. AS of today, several
thousand Christian churches are
without a pastor, so this seems to
be a timely effort.
The average grant is for $500
to $500. 1t helps young students
who have come to college on
their own power, but find the
money giving out along in the
Junior year. A little help goes
a long way. D..
Every Christian Congregation
should make itself familiar with
this scholarship plan. Last year
at Grand Chapter in Great Falls,
nine grants of $500 each were
awarded to Montana young people.
They do not go so far away,
either. Last year the town of
Culbertson had one of these boys
for a summer pastor. So it comes
home to us.
If there is a boy in your family
or neighborhood or church group
planning to be a minister, who is
wondering how he can get back to
college next year, it would be
bright to contact the Worthy
Matron of the Eastern Star
Chapter near you. Chapters are
in Sidney, Fairview and Savage.
