Several activities are already near capacity, he said. The special instruction in golf has 70 boys and girls enrolled, while 125 have signed up for the tennis program. Both instructors, Don Hepner in golf and Fred Bess in tennis, have ample room should boys and girls desire to sign up next week, Benefiel said. Morning Program The morning program for 5-9 age group has been the largest success, according to the recreation director. "Some of the things they seem to like best are story time, when the counselors either read or tell stories, and the music hour, when the children get to sing and act out songs," he said.

The rain has forced much of the program inside, but Benefiel said this has failed to curtail the children's enthusiasm. When confined, games, music and coloring keep the youths busy.

Hatch has brought many persons into church as a direct result of the spot calls he has made on scenes of drunkenness, larceny and family squabbles. Three youths arrested for car larceny were urged by the Boulter-Hatch team to attend church. All three now show up regularly for services and one is thinking of studying for the ministry. "About half of the 15 young people planning to enter the ministry lave had dealings with the says the young pastor. The Flint Baptist Temple has 1,100 members and adult Sunday school regulars.

Twenty-three residents, 12 auxiliary members, Chairman Carl Stubbe and Charles W. Taylor of the County Home committee, Mrs. Stubbe, Mrs. Taylor, and Mr.

Eastern Air Lines has been operating a small percentage of its flights since the pilot stoppage. The pilots are members of the Airline Pilots Assn. A spokesman for Pan American said he believed the sickness epidemic might stem from the third-seat inspector controversy. Eastern Air Lines and Pan American World Airways, along with Trans World Airlines anc American Airlines, have obtainec federal injunctions restraining the pilots from striking. Eastern struggled to resume op erations as a federal urged its striking pilots to go bad to work.
