Natl. Cultural Center

Governor Elbert N. Carvel, this

In a statement issued at Dover,

Governor Carvel pointed out that
Congress recently passed the Ma

Religious Day
Observed At
Century Club
The Clinton III. Browns
Of Wilmington Were
Guests And Made The
Interesting Presenta-
tiOn.

On Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Clin-
ton H. Brown of Wilmington were
guests of the Milford New Century
Club, presenting a program on the
religious day of the clubs calen-
dar of events. They came to the
club at the invitation of Mrs. Geo.
T. Macklin, club chairman of re-
ligion. 1t was last year that the
Browns made a trip around the
world, with the Holy Land as the
focal point of their travels. To
bring back to their own church
and groups of friends they took
colored slides of the many in
teresting places they visited, par
ticularly those of Lebanon, Jordan,
Israel and individual places of
great religious significance, h e
showing of which has been much
enjoyed and appreciated by their
audiences. The pictures, without
the commentary by Mr.. Brown,
would have lost much of their
glow and forcefulness of descrip-
ton. A great h u r C h m n, Mr..
Brown impaired to his listeners
the deep feeling he experienced as
he visited these holy and con-
secrated places. 1t was a fine OPP
portunity for the members to see
and hear of their travels, which
covered nine countries and nine
weeks.
