REFRIGERATOR SERVICE Parts for ir All Makes and Models EMERGENCY ANYTIME Fast Service Low Prices GREG. WALTON at FHS The following statement announc ing the discontinuance of the an nual baccalaureate service held for many years at the Freeland High School was made yesterday by the Freeland Ministerium: "The Freeland Ministerium is a group of Freeland clergy working together to improve Ecumenical relations. In addition, when occa sions arise, it works together to provide a pastoral ministry to the community.

"One of our areas of concern is the youth of the community. As part of this concern the Minister ium has in the past-worked with the local high school to conduct a Baccalaureate Service for the grad uating seniors. "As part of our continuing evalu ation of the ministry we provide, we have discovered that the Bac calaureate Service as formerly conducted was not achieving its objectives of providing a pastoral ministry to these young persons. Students were coming because of obligation rather than from a de sire to be a part of this service. In addition due to recent court decisions these services are of dubious legality.

"With all these facts in mind, the Freeland Ministerium has decided to discontinue conducting the Bac calaureate service at the high school. In its place each congrega tion will honor its graduates from an schools as it sees fit. We be lieve that a program of this type will provide a better ministry to the youth of our community."
