PASTORS-LAYMEN CONVENTION
Pastors and laymen representing
one hundred and nineteen Evangelical
Lutheran churches in Michigan and
Indlhia met here in tlie forty-first annual iconference .of the Michigan district, at St. Paul's church. The ses-
seslons continued from June S to June
12.
The Ladies Aid of the church served

Eastern Star dining hall with Mrs.
W. L. Sturm chairman; supplementary chairmans, Mrs. Herman Hutzel,
Mrs. Arthur Armbr.uster and Mrs.
George Schmid,
The chief speakers the first evening
were Rev. Theodore Eisen of Andrews,
Indiana and Rev. Albert Sehoen, Manchester; the local pastor Rev. Wittbracht giving the address of welcome.
Rev J. Wulfnian of Mt. Clemens,
president of the Michigan district
conducted the special conference of
pastors and laymen and a joint meeting of these groups also was held.
An alumni banquet was held. Alii
of the Evangelical pastors are grad-.
•nates of tEiden college, St. Louis, Mo.
Rev. Bj Niehubr of Detroit had
charge    of the program.
Officers for the ensuing year were
named. The speakers on the second

Detroit and Rev. F. Schreiber of
Grand Rapids. At this service Holy
communion was observed.
Saturday the conference adjourned
for recreation and went by^ automobile
to the Irish Hills. ..After returning
Saturday evening a banquet was held
in Eastern Star hall with Rev. Theo-.
dore Eisen, district president, chair-,
mam, *
Sunday morning Rev. Schreiner
and Rev. Wittbracht preached. At the
evening- service the new officers were
installed by Rev. F/ Senne of La
Portie, Indiana-.  ■
Shortly afterwards he and his
brother went into tlie livery business
in Ann Arbor, their barns being on
lower Main street In the same year
he married Miss Julia Esslinger, a
resident of that city. About this
time autos began to be more prominent and Mr. Stark who was now
running the business alone, bought
a few taxis, the first in the city.
For six years he operated this business and then sold out to a man
named Walker who operated a rival
concern.
In 1905. Dan Sutton was elected
sheriff and took Mr. Stark into his
office as chief deputy. In the next
term he was undersh.eriff under his
brother, W. H. Stark. During these
eigth years Mr, Stark became a well
kn?wn figure in the college commu-
nitty. His fairness and his sympathy
with the youths who were attending
college soon made him a more privileged character than most officers
of the law.
'"The students in those clays," said
Mr. Stark, "were really hard and
they •didn't let anybody interfere
with their celebrations after a victory on the athletic field. I never
bothered them any more than I absolutely had to and I never had much
trouble when I did want to interfere
with theeir fun in some way. They
made more noise and commotion
than than they do now, but so long
?s they were not destroying property
to any great extent I let" them go.
That was our policy then and I'll bet
we had less real trouble with the
students than the police over there
do now in their theatre riots."
In 1913, at the end of his brother's
term, he left the sheriff's office and
opened a garage there, where he sold
different makes of cars during the
next four years, and also ran a few
taxis. When intensive training began at Camp Custer there was a lot
of trouble between the soldiers and
the taxi drivers, which caused a lot
of friction in the otherwise smooth
running eainip. The commandant,
wishing to do, away with this trouble,
sought about for a man to put in
charge of the taxi association which
was operating around the camp. And,
because of his experience as a, sheriff and R. taxi, operator, Mr. Stark
was chosen and for the next three
..etrs he handled the Camp Custer
Taxi Association.
At the end of the war he returned
to Ann Arbor and went to work as
a salesman .for Piatt's Ford agency.
He remained there for over fiv<=
years. Last year he icame to S?1
and. opened his garage where ht
Oaklands and Pontiacs.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Fuoss and son,
Robert, and Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Clark
and son, Richard, w*ere in Detroit
Friday night to complete arrangements for the long trip to* be taken by
Robert and Richard and 63 other boys
from southern Michigan. The meeting was held at he Detroit-Leland
lwteil and was under the direction cf
George E. Buchanan, who has' put on
several of these trips for boys in. previous years.
At this time, the boys who are expected to make the trip were given
checks covering the one-third cost
which ia advanced to each boy by M*r.
Buchanan. Each boy going has .earned another one-third of the amount
and the remainder is paid by theboy's
parents. The boys will leave Detroit
on the Michigan Central railroad,
June 30, at 9 a. m. At; 8:30 they are
to assemble at the station to have
•their pictures taken, and to pose for
the "movies." Groups of boys who
have made previous trips with Mr.
Buchanan's hei©, also are scheduled
to taike part in the proceedings.
Alaska and the Yukon is the objective of the trip, and the boys(willbe
given the opportunity of their life, as
many intermediate stops will be
made.
