Evening Program
Coming Sunday
The burning of the final note for
the building of the Arthur Center
Church of God will be a part of the
Christmas Program at the Church
Sunday night, December 23rd. The
original building committee, of
which William" Kanaar was chairman, will have charge of this part
of the service. Other members on
the committee were Ted Newman
and Norman Myers.
The church in business session
Monday night, December 10th decided to complete raising the needed; funds and payment on the note
by this time. The church has been
alerted to make their contributions
for'this purpose and a special offering will be lifted Sunday morning December 23.
The Arthur °ChUrck of God was
organized in October of 1940., At
the first they held their services
in the Arthur township hal. In May
of 1948 the "Ground breaking" service was held. The people planned
on doing a lot of the work themselves. However the farmers had
their own work to do and progress
was slow. In the fall of 1948 Work
was resumed with a new emphasis
and the bethel was completed and
dedicated April 24th, 1949, a little
less than a 'year after the first
shovel of dirt was turned for the
foundation.
At the time of building, Mr. Newman- was the elder, and Mrs. Earl
Sanders was the assistant elder.
The undertaking seemed very,large
at the time, but the people had a
mind to work and a lovely bethel
was built. It is a beautiful, worshipful, has a nice basement for
Sunday School classes, an oil furnace and stands as a monument to
God and" a credit to those Who
planned and built it.
It is a credit to the people of the
the community that such a project
should be free of all encumbrance
in such a short time. The people
of the church and- community have
■ been generous. The Ladies Missionary Society of the church has
worked hard making the financial
heed of thB building fund a part of
their projects. All is deeply appreciated,
The pastor at the time of the
building and dedication was the late
Rev. Chas. Kleinhardt. After his
demise, Rev. Ford Sanders pas-
tored the church until October of
1950, when the present pastor, Rev.
Elza Beery was assigned to this
field of labor.

At the recent meeting in Harrison, the EMTA Advisory Boards
from Gladwin and- Clare Counties
decided to recommend to the Executive Committee that -the association try to remedy the traffic situation created by the traveling of
the National Guard on week ends
on their way to the Grayling'encampment. It was pointedi out that
formerly mostlof the traveling was
done on Monday and that last sum-
muer a considerable traffic hazzard
was created by operating on week
ends when traffic along US-27 was
at its peak.
Also at the meeting President
Rean Mooney, of Gaylord and Secretary-manage*;, Frank Davis* 'dis*
cussed the necessity for an increase
in funds from the state legislature,
as v^eU as private support for the
association, in order to meet greater competition and offset the increased cost of advertising.
• Reah Mooney, President 61 the
association, conducted the meeting. A series of these meetings are

The youngsters commenced arriving about 1:00 p. m. and it was
nearly 5:00 o'clock before they decided to call it a day and stared happily homeward. Hundreds were
present from the rural areas and
Harrison and Farwell school busses

from those communities.

youngster a bag containing candy,
popcorn ball, apple, peanuts, English walnuts and a candy cane. All
were served, hot dogs, soft drinks
and ice cream bars.
Some of the children who thought
John LeTourneau was going to be
Santa Claus, were much surprised
to find both Santa Claus and Mr.
LeTourneau, in police uniform, at
their party.
Major items used for the party
were 75 lbs.*"*of hot dogs, 90 dozen-
buns, 1MB bags of eaadyi ^O'dozeit
