The Leesville Civitan Club joined Civitan clubs around hte world Tuesday in observing International Clergy Week.

Members invited their pastors to the noon meeting, and J. Roark Monk welcomed them for the club. In a brief talk Monk told the clergymen that they were honored because they had accepted the greatest calling in service to their fellowmen; because of their dedication to their service to God which faces many challenges in these trying times, and because they are keepers and teachers of the faith, giving men interpretation of God's word. Honor, he said, is given because of the many hours of preparation, study and prayer expended to qualify the ministers as counselors in trying times, comforters in time of grief and bulwarks against the onslaughts of those who would destroy our faith. He expressed the gratitude of the Civitans to the ministers for living among them to proclaim te teachings of the Man of Galilee, part of which are incorporated in the Civitan Creed.

Monk also recommended to those present that if they did not have a church home, there is cused in the federal complaint of carrying a 7.65 mm Walther Drive Plans Told In Natchitoches (Si-ial to The Town Talk) NATCHITOCHES, La. -Charles Cunningham, chairman of the Natchitoches Parish American Red Cross Chapter, announced Thursday that Mrs. George Pratte will serve once again as the Parish Fund Drive Chairman in March. of the Oakdale Athletic serves on the board of directors of the Oak Pine Baseball Assn. and the Oakdale Dixie Youth and is past post commander of the American Legion.

Feb. 21 for the Cen thusiasm. By Ed Dooley WASHINGTON (UPI) -Rep. Paul N. McCloskey is critically short of campaign money and his organization has issued a plea for donations to aid the antiwar liberal's bid to upset President Nixon in the New Hampshire primary.

In a nationwide direct mail appeal to 7,000 persons, his Campaign Manager, Alvin E. Toffel, said "finances remain the critical problem. I can report that we have made progress in this area but, unfortunately, we are still lacking funds to execute the final effort." Toffel said the money is needed to pay the expenses of door-to-door canvassers and to buy radio and newspaper advertising during the final weeks before the March 7 primary. "At present," Toffel said in his letter, "we have no money for these purposes." In contrast to other major presidential candidates, McCloskey has spent virtually nothing on media advertising, emphasizing instead "a people-to-people campaign," Toffel said in an interview. The California congressman has spent 47 days campaigning in New Hampshire since July.
