Paint Row House
Last Saturday, a group Of II
boys, organized by q church
member, spent the day paint
ing at the row house on Flor
ida avenue, which serves as a
center for Mrs. Winter and her
volunteers.
The woman who had con-
templated suicide had actually
gone to the station with her
children but at the last minute
called Mrs. Winter. Since then
she has been visited by several
women from st. Luke's who
bring food. a jacket for her boy
and a smile. In many cases
initial mistrust Of motives has
been replaced by respect and
close friendships.
Plans for the future call fol
expansion of volunteer work
and a closer association be-
tween the members Of st
Luke's and several Negro city
churches. The vestries Of these
churches meet monthly to dis
cuss methods of bringing this
about.

The despair Of a young
mother who planned to put her
children on a train and COM
nit suicide was scared into the
minds of suburban church
members recently.
With stark words that seemed
out of place on a pleasant Sun
day morning at st. Luke's Epis-
copal Church, Bethesda, the
Rev. Thomas B. Allen etched a
simple, sickening picture Of
broken-hearted people who
needed help.
Unlike some sermons, this
one was not forgotten in the
chatty after-service good fell
lowship on the church steps.
Somehow it was not easy to
dismiss the unhappiness of the
people Mr.. Allen described, for
the minister was not speaking
of the starving children OF
China or the slums of Rio -
he was referring to Washing
ton.
Volunteer Visits
Members of the church de-
cided to help. No starry-eyed
seminary student could have
expected a better response to a
sermon.
Under the guidance Of Mr.
and Mrs. George Ross Barney
Ross of PT-109 fame, church
members contacted the Hospi-
tally House, 507 Florida ave-
nue. NE, which is run by Mrs
Nadine Winter.
More than a dozen st. Luke'i
volunteers now make severa
visits a week, but many NOR
people than that are involved.
Answering requests mailed tt
them or displayed in the
church, members gave freely Of
food, clothing, furniture =
even two 19-foot inflatable
swimming pools. Each Sunday
families arrive at the service
in time to deposit bags of can
ned goods, cheese, securing
powder and toothbrushes in the

Council Rejects All Bids
On Sewage Lagoon Project

The Farmville town council
voted to reject all the bids on
the proposed new sewage la
goons for the town Of Farm
vile Included in the motion to
reject the bids. was the lnten-
ton to have the plars reworked
by the consulting engineers. to
have the project rebid next
spring: to request an extension
OF time for the project from the
State Water Control Board. to
seek a larger federal grant be-
cause of the apparent higher
cost Of the project: and to pro
test the wage rates as set by
the o. S. Department Of Labor
The reason for the rejection Of
bids was due primarily to the
fact that the town does rot have
sufficient funds to finance the
work this year The bids ran
about S45 900 higher than antici-
pated. The low bid Of SLIT 900
was submitted by Wick Con-
struction Company Of Farm
Vile.
That bid, plus the cost Of &C
quiring the land, paying engi-
neering fees, etc, would run the
total cost of the project over
S2l1 900, according to estimates
from T. W. Bloomfield, town
manager.
The town had estimated the
total cost of the project to be
about Slb0.OO0. Funds for this
are available as follows. re-
serve fund 500, 900 cure II I
years reserve fund $4,000 and
a federal grant of S45.627, max
ing a total of Sl61 ,627. This is
$50 900 shy of the new cost esti-
mate which makes it impOssi-
Bile to 80 ahead with h G
project.
Bloomfield pointed out that
the project could probably be
done next year by adding an
other $4,000 from the 1864 So
budget. plus prOpOrtlOnalf
grant from federal matching
funds The matching funds are
available up to one-third Of the
