At the Germantown Baptist
Church a series of Revival Serv-
ices will be held April 80 to May
7. with the Rev. David Hoy of
Evansville, Ind, as guest speak
er. The Rev. Mr.. Hoy is a stu
dent at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Louis
vile, Ky.. from where he will
graduate this year. MIR. Hoy is
a skiilful magician, currently
president of the Louisville Ma
gicians Club, and uses his magic
tricks to illustrate and assist
his evangelistic services. He
does not, however, mix ms
magic into the serious part OF
the service, which is the SER
mon. Rather, he does one or
two tricks at the beginning of
the service or with the song
service, by way of introducing
message. He says it is ire
mendously effective in arousing
peoples attention, and is a most
clever teaching device.
Mr.. Hoy, married and the
father of two children, has
made a 3-month evangelistic
tour of Brazil, has appeared on
the ITO Tell the Truth" tele-
vision program and demon
strated his magic talent before
Senator Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee and Representative Ken
meth Gray of West Frankfort,
Ill. in the formers office in
Washington in preparation for
a House-Senate talent show. The
eight-day Revival will be held
at the Baptist Church each eve
ming, beginning at 1880.
At the Jamestown Schools
Pre-School Conference on April
IA, 81 kindergarten pupils were
enrolled for next year.
Miss Louise Doty, of Fred
erick, was the speaker at a
meeting of the Women's Asso-
citation of the Neelsville Church
on April ID. Miss Doty, a teach
er at the Frederick Community
College, spoke on a trip she
made last summer, behind the
Iron Curtain. Speaking mainly
about three weeks spent in So
Wet Russia, Miss Doty made a
number of observations. She
spoke of the crowded housing
situation; the lack of refriger-
alton, causing daily shopping
trips for food; the extreme
and the exhorbitantly high
prices for everyday necessities.
She described the magnificent
public parks where the people
meet to counteract the sitting
crowding of their dwellings.
Communicating with Soviet citi-
Zens, said Miss Doty, was ex-
tremely difficult for two rea-
sons. First was the language
barrier, which could be bridged
now and then by a third Ian
guage. Second was the persis'
tent ant!-American propaganda
which made ordinary Russians
suspicious and completely un-
believing of any favorable facts
reported about the United
States.
Cub Scout Pack No. 1895
gathered at the home of Cub
master and Mrs. Robert Nc
Mullen Sunday afternoon, April
% and enjoyed kite-flying con-
test. Prizes were awarded in
various categories. Steve Murad
won first place for the most
unusual or original kite. First
prize for the kite which stayed
up longest was won by Ronnie
Gregory, and second place by
Earl Harper. For the sack race
Max Holfeld was the winner.
The father-and-son three-legged
race war won first by Richard
Randles and son, Jeffrey; and
second by Arthur Wright and
son, Jimmy. After the contests,
the boys rode the pony and
horse belonging to the McMul-
lens and finally left reluctantly
for home. The next pack meet
ing will have as its theme In
dian Country" and will feature
American Indians in costumes
prepared by the boys, Indian
dances, and a campfire.
