PACE SIX, FIRST SECTION SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 1937. THE PORT HURON TIMES HERALD OFFICERS IN ORD MURDER CASE EXPECTED TO RETURN TOD A DECKERVILLE IS FIRST POINT IN STATE BEET GROWERS Murder Tragedy Of 28 Years Ago Causes Razing of Church NEW CHRISTIAN EDUCATION PROJECT PREPARE FOR MUSIC PETE OF Small Parishes To Be Consolidated In Vicinity Deckerville, March 20 Starting the first project of its kind in Michigan, Miss Lura I. Vincent, of Cedar Falls, is now working in the Presbyterian church in this village as director of Christian education. Knowing that 21,000 country churches are either closed or abandoned, and that about only one-fifth of the rural population of America goes to church. the National Missions committee of the synod of Michigan is making a determined effort to rejuvenate rural Presbyterian churches where possible to consolidate resources of neighboring parishes.

In carrying out this type of work In Michigan for which Sanilac county was selected as the starting point Miss Vincent will work principally in the Presbyter-Ian church in Deckerville, with some time spent in the Sandusky and Bridgehampton Presbyterian parishes. Her work will include direction of Sunday activities, leadership in youth activities, initiating and directing adult programs and assisting whereveh possible in promoting the welfare of the for the open country and small town church," Rev. Mr. Coapman says. "Just as the wagon gave place to the automobile, the rural church faces change or extinction.

Instead of four or five poorly equipped and struggling churches trying to support four or five ministers, the larger parish or collegiate plan of consolidation and cooperation has been found to be of more efficient use of money and men. "This plan provides for two or more well-trained and well-supported leaders, such as one to preach and one to train in the Sunday schools, young people's work and choirs of the churches. In this way rural people can be equal in opportunity and leadership with the city churches." Trained Leader Miss Vincent was graduated from the Presbyterian college of Huron, S. with a bachelor of arts degree, and from the Presbyterian College of Christian Education, Chicago, with a master of arts degree. She has had experience as a librarian and public school teacher, as well as director of Christian education in several parishes.

Officers of the National Missions committee who obtaine her services for the project in Sanilac county are Rev. John M. Comln, D. Detroit; and Dr. J.

Meanwhile, Albert IX Lord, a brother of George Alfred and Delbert, remains in the Sanilac county jail here, still held as a material witness under $2,000 bond. It was originally expected that Albert's testimony would be used against his brothers if they were anprehended and tried for the murder of their uncle. In his "confession statement, however, George Alfred implicated his bro-1 ther and declared Albert in the robbery and murder of the uncle. In his statement to officers when originally questioned after being apprehended in Flint the "morning after his uncles murder.

Until George Albert's confession implicated him in the crime, Albert was allowed to mingle freely with the other prisoners in the county jail and spent his time playing cards with them and reading.

During the last week he has been quartered in a separate cell away from other prisoners and not allowed to read any newspapers containing accounts of the Lord murder or the statements of his brothers.

New York Soprano Thumb Briefs Carmichael committed suicide in Chicago, where he went after the murder. The loyal congregation still hoped to save its desecrated place of worship from the stain of the crime. The stove was replaced, new pews were installed and the walls were re-decorated, making the interior comfortable and attractive. Services were commenced the following fall, and for about 15 years services were held the greater part of the time. It seemed, however, that its history continued to spread a blight over the spirit of the congregation.

Longer lapses of time Intervened between the hiring of ministers. Many Methodists of the vicinity moved away, and their farms were bought by Polish farmers of Lutheran faith. During the last several years the church has been closed the greater, part of the time. The Carmichael church was such an old building, and people had acquired the habit of looking at it as they passed and speculating on its history, that it seems something is lacking in that neighborhood. ACTS TO ASSIST Marine Council Asks State To Adjust Property Taxes Marine City, March 27 Action of the common council this week indicates definite steps are being taken toward the establishment of a new industry in Marine City.

Clarence A. Bradford, Detroit attorney, owner of the Independent Sugar property, has filed articles of incorporation in Lansing and In St. Clair county for the Michigan Newsprint Corporation of Marine City. With about $85,000 in delinquent taxes outstanding on the property, the council in special session this week authorized a request to the state administrative 'board to pass necessary enabling resolutions to the end that delinquent taxes on the property should be compromised and adjusted on a basis providing for payment of 10 per cent of the $85,000 total. Included in the resolution authorizing the request was a clause to the effect that Bradford must spend at least $100,000 over a period of time in re-habilitating the property and establishing the newsprint firm as a going business.

It is believed that work on the proposed plant will start as soon as the state administrative board approves the tax adjustment request. If plans carry, the Michigan Newsprint corporation, of which Mr. Bradford is president, will establish a modern paper plant on the old Independent property. A special "de-inking" process will be used in the manufacture of newsprint paper. Basketball Banquet Wednesday Harbor Beach, March 27.
