Suggest Change are for a junior high school, but not at the expense of our small children. Why not take the manual training and domestic science departments back to North Hill school?

"The executive committee of the Municipal Welfare League." Congregationalists Can 253 Quarts of Tomatoes, Christian Group Furthers Plan Circuit Pastor Will Preach On Sunday "Values" will be sermon which the the theme of the Rev. Reynolds C. Murdock, new pastor of the Burlington circuit, will preach to his congregations Sunday. The sermon will be based upon the scripture as found in Mark 10-17-30. Preaching service will be held at Shiloh at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, at Oak Grove at 10 and at Siprng Grove at 11.

In discussing his sermon subject the Rev. Mr. Murdock said, "In our day more than any other the problem of selection is paramount. There was a time when one could take all that his environment offered and not be burdened. Today the contrary is the rule and not the exception.

The offering is too great and definite choice must be made. The question of values should enter into every lifo situation." Two hundred and fifty-three quarts of tomatoes were canned at First Congregational church yesterday afternoon with a commercial canner for the Red Cross project which is being conducted to preserve all surplus fruits and vegetables for use of the poor of the city during the winter. The canner was loaned for the purpose by Rex Wicham, who operated it and C. W. Bond also assisted.

The tin cans used with the canner were donated by the canning factory at Lomax, 111, and a fire department truck was used to get them.
