New Style Boon To Shoplifters MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) The new style maxicoat is a great boon to shoplifters, Deputy Police Chief Joseph Rusinko says. Rusinko told 200 merchants attending a fraud prevention clinic that police departments generally were delighted with the introduction of the miniskirt mainly because miniskirts "barely cover what they're supposed to cover, let alone hiding merchandise." The program is now set for the Community Thanksgiving Service and Pageant. The special service is scheduled Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

in St. Joseph Catholic Church. Sponsored by the Ada Min- istrial Alliance, the service represents a new approach. It is an effort to involve all aspects of the community in the traditional holiday worship program. The service is broken into four broad segments, Thanksgiving for the Gift of Community, the Gift of Plenty, the Gift of Faith and the Gift of Freedom.

There will be no traditional sermon. In the center of the altar will be erected -a shock of corn, the horn of plenty with other trappings of the seasons. Added to this will be token offerings from all of the community, a sign of a profession, a symbol, an article that a group or individual makes. The gifts will actually be presented and placed at the altar by special representatives. The service opens with a prelude by the Ada High School band.

Following is a Thanksgiving Proclamation by Mayor Floyd Haynes. The Ada High School Chorus presents the call to worship, "We Gather Together." Following the invocation, the congregar tion will sing the famous hymn, "God of Our Fathers." In the Gift of Community section, Rev. Kerney Graham, pastor of the Asbury United Methodist Church, offers "No Man is An Island." The Rev. Graham is chairman of the alliance committee handling, arrangements for the service. He is followed by the presentation of symbols of community government, com- munity institutions and service groups.

The hymn, "God of Town and God of Street," closes this section. The Rev. Timothy Maloney, pastor of St. Joseph, begins the next section, the Gift of Plenty, as he presents "We are Indeed Blessed." The congregation joins in the hymn, "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come." A presen- tation is made of the symbol of plenty, then a prayer of thanksgiving for plenty, followed by an offering, which goes to the Ada Community Chest. The sectio ncloses with an anthem from the chorus.

The Rev. Charles Hill, pastor of the Philemon Baptist opens the third section, the Gift of Faith. He offers "The Thanksgiving Heritage." The Rev. Kenneth Riley, pastor of the Assembly of God Church, presents the symbol of faith. There is a solo, "Book of Books," and the section closes with a prayer of thanksgiving for faith by the Rev.

Riley. The Proud Young Americans For Truth lead off the final section with "Freedom is Not Free." Members of various scouting units present the symbols of freedom. The Ada High School band plays "The Star Spangled Banner." Scouts lead those present in the Pledge of Allegiance and all participate in the song, "America." Members of PYAT offer the prayer for thanksgiving for freedom. B. M.
