1 Gasoline Dealers Win After 10 Day Lockout Campaign Tank Wagon Price Reduction Granted By Distributors Permitting 16c Retail Rate Canandaigua dealers in standard brands of gasoline greeted with broad smiles all customers rolling up to their tanks this morning. Charging the 16 cent price per gallon which they have maintained since re-opening their tanks Wednesday. and the same price charged in the Rochester area, they have been assured equal consideration on the tank wagon price charged by the. distributors. Announcement that they were to be allowed the usual margin of four cents between tank wagon and posted prices for stations selling only one kind of gas, the dealers last night, an hour or so after a stormy; session had been held in the Garage.

between local dealers and company representatives. Announcement that the distributors had conceded to the demands of the local! dealers was telephoned from the Canandaigua Hotel by one of the company representatives after a brief distributors' meeting held there. During the session yesterday, the distributors endeavored to persuade local dealers to concede to a 50-50 agreement through which the local price would be established at 16.6 cents per. gallon, despite 1 the fact that the 16 cent price was to be maintained in the Rochester area. When local dealers insisted on price equality, the distributors contended that the six point advance in the Rochester area was necessary because of a particularly difficult situation due to the sale of cheaper brands of gasoline particularly in the Rochester.

Local dealers, however, insisted that they be granted the 16 cent price and that they be allowed the full four cent margin -on the tank wagon charge. They persisted in! maintaining that they would consider no other proposal. The local victory climaxes a day fight during which the tanks of independent dealers in standard brands of gasoline were locked for a week. It. was said this morning that all company stations in the city were also selling at the 16 cents per gallon.

It was emphasized the company representatives nasty night that agreement reached here affects only Canandaigua and not the dealers in other quarters of this zone, which adjoins the Rochester area. Name of Bible Class Changed to Lightfoote Everyman's Bible Class of the Methodist Church adopted a resolution last evening changing the class name to the William G. Lightfoote Memorial Class. This was in recognition of Mr. Lightfcote, a former class teacher, who died in 1926 and who served for nearly 50 years as suverintendent of the Sunday School.

The resolution was adopted in a business session, which followed a supper and program in the church at. which wives of members were guests. Upwards of 60 were seated at supper, prepared by Denald Warren, Charles Bishop, Charles Benedict, Howard Olmstead and O. B. Hinckley, and served under direction of H.

Dr. Andrew pastor of Third Presbyterian Church of Rochester, speaker yesterday afternoon in the annual World Day of Prayer for Missions service. held in the Congregational Church. Up- wards arranged of by the local federation of 100 attended the service. missionary societies and held in conjunction with similar services in churches over world.

The general program, prepared by Mrs. J. L. Hofmeyer, of Capetown, South Africa, was carried out by representatives of the co-operating churches. Mrs.

F. D. Weeks, chairman of the committee, presided. The program theme was "Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem," symbolic of the peace of God in the heart, the home, the homeland, the church of Christ, among the nations of the world and in the New Jerusalem. Mrs.

Kenneth L. Cober. of the Baptist Church; Mrs. Hardy Lumb, Presbyterian; Miss Emma Finley. Episcopal; Mrs.

Robert Harbutt, Congregational: Mrs. Charles F. Bemis, Methodist, and Mrs. Cecil E. Huntsman, of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, offered prayer and Mrs.

Miss Lulu M. Curtis presided at the organ as ac-! companist and for singing of hymns interspersed in the program. Neglect of Prayer In his opening remarks, Dr. Gillies said that it was undoubtedly true that there a great neglect prayer today; that it is true of people who express their belief in God, that they neglect to pray, saying there is no use in prayer. He gave some of the reasons that some do not pray.

Many do not really believe prayer changes anything, Dr. Gillies pointed out. In the olden days people believed in miracles and the idea of God as doing the unusual. As a result of the progress of science, people today more often think of the world as under certain laws, which cannot be changed by prayer. called miracles are explained by natural.

rather than supernatural Modern psychology, the speaker said, has a tendency to cause neglect of prayer. The attitude is that prayer is a subjective matter, rather than accomplishing objective results. Too Busy to Pray Another reason for neglect of prayer, stressed by Dr. Gillies, was that people are so busy today doing this and that, that they have lost the art of being still. Real prayer requires meditation, deep thought and the art of being still.

He defined prayer as a communion with and be believed it should be thought of in that way rather than material way. He believed that many people go through the I motions of prayer as a habit, which aces not mean much, The speaker quoted Dr. Harry! Emerson Fosdick, who in a recent: radio address, called attention to the parable of the Prodigal Son and difference between the prodigal before he started out and when he returned. When he left home he: said, "Father, give me the portion that falls to me." and on returning, he said, "Father, make me as one of thy hired servants." That is the attitude one should have, Dr. Gillies felt, not personal benefit, but seeking of union with the spirit of Goi Results of Prayers Even though prayer! is not ans-! wered in just the way it is hoped, Dr.

Gillies stressed that one should keep on trying. He gave several illustrations of the wonderful things which can be accomplished by faith'ful prayer. including his own personal experience in recovery from a long period of mental depression. An offering was taken for this rear's united mission projects, which are: Christian literature for women and children in mission Christian service among migrants; women's union Christian colleges in foreign lands. and religious work directors in United States Indian schools.
