Women Of Collegeport
Presbyterian Ch. Meet
With Mrs. A. Penland
On May 9th, Mrs. A. A. Penland
was hostess to the Presbyterian
Women of the Church of College-
port at her lovely brick home on
the Oyster Lake Road.
Mrs. Fred Law was moderator
for the day and led in the study
and ensuing discussion of the sub-
ject "The King Is Identified",
stressing the fact that our ex-
periences are the foundation on
which faith is built.
Mrs. John Merck, Sr. was the
representative for the "Monthly
Emphasis" and an extremely well
prepared and stimulating program
■was presented in the form of a
playlet with the roles assumed by
the members of the circle.
Much concern has been felt for
the plight of the poverty stricken
natives of the jungles of Brazil.
The detailed reports from the mis-
sionaries of the proposed highway
to be built through the heart of
the Brazilian jungle, encourages
the hope the villages which inevit-
ably will be built along the high-
way will bring about a new life to
these natives, and an economic re-
lief to those so urgently in need.
A suggestion was proposed that
the circle would make a study to
find out if it would be practical to
establish an outlet and limited
market for the handicrafts of these
needy people.
At the close of the business ses-
sion, tall cool glasses of home-
made ice cream, coffee and cookies
were served by the hostess to Mes-
dames R. L. Corporon, Duane Cor-
poron, P. V. Corporon, Gerald
Wells, Gust Franzen, Roy Nelson,
Dean Merck, Fred Law, John
Merck, Sr., John Merck, Jr., Bruce
Kay, E. A. Mixon. George Hejt-
manck and C. J. Williams,
Mr. and Mrs. Ira Bowers and
Mrs. Jap Smith of Markham were
called to Edna Monday by the
death of Mrs. Smith's and Mr.
Bowers' sister, Mrs. Dallas Brown,
who passed away Sunday. Funeral
services were held Tuesday.
TO WED—Mr. and Mrs. War.

gagement and approaching mar.
