Arnagemcats to Be Ckaaged
'Work will begin next month on
an addition to the Presbyterian
church it was determined at a meet
ing of the Board of Elders last
who were working on plans to acco
modate the crowds that are attend
ing the church each Sunday.
'eral weeks people have
been turned away from the church
due to a lack of seats and it has been
decided that the addition to the wing
of the church that is now used as a
Sunday School room and a portion
of this section given over to the
church main auditorium would help
solve this problem.
Work on the new section will be-
month. Plans

At one-fifteen—the picture show
will be opened for you—and
school children only will be given
tickets. It has always been so crowd
ed that some of the children would
get left out—so we will ask all the
“grown-ups”—and the very tiny
folks who would not understand the
picture—to stay outside with the
"grown-ups” and in this way—all the
school children may get to see it.
So—be ready—we can hardly wait
for all of you to come. Bring all
the family—and we have the big
balcony in the auditorium for them
only the school children will sit
down stairs.
