Service Saturday At Kingdom Hall An attendance of 75 is expected to attend services Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses to celebrate the memorial of Christ’s death. The presiding minister, Clyde D. Stele, stated that the local congregation will be but one of mtffe than 20,000 congregations in 194 lands to participate in the memorial celebration. According to Steele, Jehovah’s Witnesses acknowledge the memorial of Christ's death as the only day of the year that Christians are scripturally instructed to observe as part of the Christian worship. Saturday, March 28 of this year, corresponds with the Jewish calendar date Nisan 14, the night that Christ Jesus introduced the acknowledging of his death.

Purcell works actively on the legislative program of the state association, and has for the last several years organized in each of the 92 counties legislative action or citizenship committees.

Peace Force Takes Up Duties NICOSIA (UPD—The United Nations peace force will take up its duties on Cyprus at 5 a.m. Friday (10 p.m. Thursday, EST), the United Nations announced today. The announcement said Indian Gen. Prem S. Gyani will assume formal command of the U.N. force and take over peacekeeping operations on the island at that hour. At the outset, Gyani’s command «will consist of about 6,500 British troops and 1,000 Canadians. The British force will be reduced to about 3,500 men as troops arrive from Sweden, Finland and Ireland. Token detachments front those three countries are due here Friday, but it will probably take about two weeks before the 2,100 troops they have promised to send are in Cyprus. The people of Nicosia, wearied by the intermittent fighting since Christmas, were almost exuberant over the anticipated arrivals of the U. N. troops and the scheduled political negotiations.

Federal Judges Keep Hands Off Redistricting INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The 1964 election of congressmen in Indiana will go on as scheduled without interference from a three-judge federal panel with power to order reapportionment. The panel handed down an interim ruling late Wednesday on a suit which was filed shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Georgia’s congressional representation and held it unconsti- _ tutional. i The Indiana suit asked the federal judges to order an election at large of the 11 congressmen. But former state senator Nelson Grills, who filed the action, said his primary aim was to force a special session of the legislature to carry out immediate reapportionment. Indianapolis federal district Judge Hugh Dillin and two other federal judges agreed that “for the court to now entertain this litigation would unnecessarily and unduly interfere with and impair the orderly conduct of the Indiana general election of 1964.” Indianapolis district federal Judge Cale Holder and Seventh District Court of Appeals Judge Win Knoch of Chicago, joined Dillin in the ruling. Defendant in the suit is Governor Welsh and the Indiana Election Board. The three-judge panel noted that “the election machinery and the timetable governing the election of Indiana’s 11 representatives in Congress was in operation prior to the commencement of this action.” . A new congressional map is in the process of being formulated by a legislative processes

May Qualify For Higher Benefits People who work for more than SI2OO in a year after applying for social security old-age benefits may often qualify for higher benefits because of their additional work, according to Ruth H. Lane, district manager of the Fort Wayne social security office. This applies especially to a worker who has made S4BOO or more in any year since he first became entitled to benefits, after 1959 when the maximum creditable for social security purposes was raised to S4BOO. It can apply as well to any worker whose earnings in any year since he became entitled is more than the average amount on which his original benefit was based. A brief visit to the social security office at 343 West Wayne street in Fort Wayne will help any retired worker to determine if his benefit amount can be increased. He should bring along his withholding tax statement (Form W-2) if he worked as an employe in 1963, or, if self-employed, a copy of his federal income tax return, schedule C or F if he is a self-employed farmer, and a can-
