Miss Alice Wardwell, a member of the congregation, spoke today of St. Dunstan's church as "one of the mosl beaullfiL ihings we.had in Woodslock."

About six or seven years ago Archbishop Francis took over the) luilding was an old barn. With his own hands he created a wautiful slructure, handsomely carved and elaborately appointed, summer, the upper portion of he building was used for services and in winter the congregation moved to the basement which'-it vas. possible to heat.

He possessed treat ability in this art and much of the carvings were done in the old original- timbers of the old arn. The in the church had been carved by hand and many artists visited the place marveled at the wonderful work which had been done single- handed by Rev.

Francis. When the firemen arrived they ound the flames had gained such leadway in the dry timbers, that was impossible tu save any por- icn of the building which was owneti by Mrs. Neilson Parker wlw had leased it to the congregation. It is not likely that services will resumed this winter, Miss Wardwell said, because of inability to secure- suitable'- place and the future of the congregation 15 at present uncertain. St.

Dunstan's Church under the guidance of Archbishop Francis was unique not only in its struc- make-up hut in its religious belief. Members of any creed vere welcome. Mass was said in English and a. communion service was held each Sunday. The church was known as the Old Catholic order, an order which is said to lave been established when, there came a break with the Roman church and it was'said that the Old Catholic order was of Polish irigin.

There was. no concerled drive for funds and Archbishop Francis for this reason Jiad been to do practically all of the work on St. Dunstan's Church with his own hands. Prior coming to Woodslock he Rev. Francis had worked among underprivileged children in Chicago and lalcr came east- and or a time was at Greenwich, and New York.

Breathtaking Carving! The carvings are breathtaking --the setting, a small balcony, and numerous objects. Most of this carving was done by the archbishop and monks out of timbers In the barn. Today the interior seems to be all one piece of wood. There are paintings and hand- loomed tapestries. But there arc also precious relics: a 13th cen- lury and a 14th century woodcarving, the original seal of Saint Dunstan under the altar, the working 3art of the pipe organ which Queen Anne sent to one of the colonies; a DeLyra Latin Bible (1477); part of the first English Sible (Coverdale, 1534); part of first edition of the King James version, and the Henry VIII Bible.

In the archbishop's study, one sees several masterpieces, includ- ng a large painting by Perugino and a small Albani. It should be explained that the archbishop's Old Catholic faith is different doctrinaliy. from the Jatin church. The riles are sim- iar, but Old Catholic services arc conducted in English--or the language of the parish. There are 68 such parishes in America.

Almost Self-Supporting The archbishop and the three monks occupy quarters in the lower part of the barn. The. garden, the chickens and geese go a long way toward making them self-justainlng. plate is never Dunstan's. The passed collection at Saint The archbishop was born in Nottingham, England, and came to America as a child.

He was elected to his rank -in Chicago, Saint Dunstan's came to Woodstock several years ago and occupied a small, mountainside chapel. It proved inconvenient in winter, and parishioners cast about for a more location. The archbishop said a barn would be just the thing. A year later he had his barn. Construction began in May, 1940.

Sometimes the archbishop's Irish terrier curls up there--and he thinks it not sacrilegious. Archbishop Francis is a man of strong thoughts, as well as strong hands. He took but two years to build a cathedral! Millerlslleld Pending Another Homicide Hearing New York, Dec. 31 UP)--Capl. Archie B.

WlnHMfe Dhrtrtlnrtwi StraM if, rniji Stsj "fill In tnt Itt Times Square Gets Barricades as Big Time Approaches New York, Dec. 31 Of)--They put a new face--of two-by-fours nnd planks--on Times Square day in the hope its customary characteristics still will be around tomorrow. It'f New Year's Eve--expected to be the gayest since before the war--and hardened Times Square, which has withstood just about everything, is taking precaution against the howling crowd that will gather to celebrate the advent of 1946. The merchants have covered their window displays with boards, ropes, wire and steel grills. Entrances to many establishments have been reinforced to help prevent damage by surging thousands.

More than 2,0000 extra police officers will be sent to the Times Square area and a fireman will lie stationed at every fire alarm box. All those extra precautions along the Great White Way are typical of what is happening throughout the city as it prepares to celebrate the arrival of the new year with more noise, beverages and laughter than at any time in years. Night clubs are sold out at the highest prices lincc before the war. At one new club the minimum is a couple--nnd that doesn't include loo much in the line of food und drink. It will cost from $10 to $3G a couple just to sit down In one of the dozen dining roomi or bari In the famed Waldorf-Astoria.

Walters, taxi driven, doormen and all the rest who cater to the merrymakers expect to reap golden harvest in tips.
