to the group recordings of some of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most famous selections and also his life’s history. She closed with a poem, “Hie World.” Mrs. W. P. Robinson, president, conducted the business session. The secretary and treasurer’s reports were read. Thirty five calls were reported. Assisting Mrs. Underwood in serving refreshments were Mrs. John Nelson, Mrs. Virgil Krick and Mrs. Fred Hancher. a . BUSINESS MEETING BY LEGION AUXILIARY The monthly business meeting of the American Legion auxiliary was held Friday evening at the post home, with 15 members present. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Walter Walchle. Mrs. Frank Bohnke offered prayer. The group sang one verse of “The Star Spangled Banner.” A short period of silence in memory of the country’s dead followed, and the preamble was given. The secretary’s report was read by Mrs. Mabie Liniger and was approved as read. The treasurer’s report was given Mrs. Ralph Roop. Standing committee reports were heard. Hospital equipment from the magazine fund was discussed. The president asked for nominations for new officers for the year 1964-65. The hymn of the month, “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” was led by Mrs. Frank Crist. William Walford, a blind shopkeeper and itinerant preacher, dedicated the poem to a friendly Congregational minister, Thomas Salmon. The latter sent it to the New York Observer, where it was read by William Bradbury. He fitted an appealing tune to the words and' the result became widely popular toward the end of the last century. The suggested hymn of the month will be found in the Armed Forces hymnal which was compiled by the Armed Forces chaplains of the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestants faiths. Mrs. Crist also led the group in singing “America.” In closing the meeting, the president said, “Till we meet again let us remember that our obligation to our country can only be fulfilled by the faithful performance of all duties of citizenship. Let service to the community, state and nation be ever a main objective of the American Legion auxiliary and its members. Let us ever be watchful of our organization and ourselves, that nothing shall swerve us from the :path of justice, freedom, and democracy,” The color bearers retired the colors, and the meeting was adjourned.

Rev. Underwood was one of the pastors from a number of denominations who took the six-weck course.

Ministry to the sick is an important part of a minister's work.

Consider Paving Portland Airstrip -*• The Portland city council and city administration is considering taking part in paving the airstrip at Steed Field, the Portland airport. Representatives of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and industry from that city met witfe the council, and discussed improvements. A paved airport is necessary for community growth and industrial development, they told the council. Sheeler Corp, told of its interest in a hard-surface landing strip. A 3,000-foot-long runway was estimated to cost $65,000. The field has already acquired the additional land needed for the east-west runway. It would be parallel to U. S. 27, and cost SB,OOO. The city may have to own the land to be able to participate; the owner suggested selling the land to the city, and leasing it back for operation. One councilman stated that a 1963 act allowed Winchester to participate in paving without owning the land; the owning corporation was non-profit. For federal funds, the city must own the airport; at Winchester the county also contributed.
