Fund Started For
Montgomery Community House
~
The official campaign for
funds for erecting a commu¬
nity house at Montgomery op¬
ened Friday night, August 30,
at the Montgomery Baptist
church.
The property for the project
was purchased over two years
ago by the colored people of
that vicinity, but due to the
rtt wr- curtailment of raising j
Ley for a building was post-
poned. The location of the
property is about nine miles
from Savannah on the Ship-
yard road (known as Burn¬
side) and is two hundred arid
eighty one feet from the in.er-
section of the Montgomery
road.
The object of tlie project, of
course, will be to provide such
facilities for the comm uni.y as
are common to installations of
this sort.
Those heading the campaign
are: Robert A. Young, chair¬
man; Hampton Jaudon, co-
chairman; Pres. B. F. Hubert,
co-chairman; David committee McKever. j

Bishop Grace Followers
To Parade
The annual street parade of
the members of the House of
Prayer for All People, of which
Bishop C. M. Grace is the ti¬
tular head, will be held Sunday
afternoon. The ;demonstra-
tion which this year is called
The Grace Peace Parade, will
start at 2 p. in. at the House
of Prayer on Bismark street
and will be participated in by
the various units of the church
which is holding its twentieth
convocation here this week.
Because an unusually large
number of out-of-town repre¬
sentatives is present at the
meetings this year, Sunday’s
parade is expected to be one ol
the most spectacular demon-
r s trations in the history of the
local church. The parade will
be|^d by Bishop Grace and the
of Prayer band.
The line of march, starting
at the House of Prayer,
be as follows: East oh Bis¬
mark street to Montgomery;
north on Montgomery :o

Hull, east to West B’oad, south
