and the footings and foundation
placed by the late Brubaker for
his home will be uti1izE'd in the
new building, It is not planned
to complete the church until fin-
ishing materials are available.
However, it is expected that it
will be ready for use sometime
in March or April and will be
ronstructed in such a way that
it can be completed after the
war, without loss of materials,
A garage 16 by 40 feet is now
being developed into a parson-
flge and will be usC!d as such by
the first of the year,
The congregfltion of thp. First

in ,June of this year by the pres-
ent pastor, and becomes the 1hird

inre coming to the stale in 1934,
