Blanche Brown
Continued from Page 1 ness of her family and church and her habit of planning ahead. “Sister Brown arranged for her funeral, he said. “She worked for her auxiliary so it could live but she realized she had to go. Some folks want a big funeral without doing big things, but she was conscience of her contribution to society. “If you want to be something in the sight of man, you’ve got to do something for man.” Rev. Johnson said that her influence was not only in her nurses organization but also in her home where “she stood like a rock.” “A lot of folks don’t respect leadership. All they want is a national name but she worked at hpme.” The minister took his text from II Timothy 3:7, a favorite passage of Mrs. Brown’s. Brief but touching remarks came from numerous religious leaders and civic notables including Rev. C. H. Bell, former president of the Indiana State Baptist Convention, who commented on Mrs. Brown’s everpresent smile. “She had a smile for everybody, he said. “The one thing she had to win friends was a big broad smile. She was loyal to her church. She couldn’t be beaten by those competing.” Rev. N. W. D. Stewart, advisor to the National Nurses Auxiliary Corp., journeyed to Indianapolis to attend the rites and said that he had never met an individual so easy to work LET ME HELP YOU!

with. He, too, impounded the fact that the deceased woman maintained a constant awareness for authority. “She would not even mail a letter without first letting me check it,” he recalled. Rev. J. T. Highbaugh, president of the Central District Baptist Association, recalled baptising the fallen leader at Emanuel Baptist Church. He said her religion gave her a sensb of urgency and this coupled with her “get-up-and-go” and desire to get a job done made her a remarkable worker. “Consecrated women have a great place in this world. She showed it and proved it,” he said. “Blanche wanted to be a nurse and she was a good nurse because she loved humanity,” Atty. Frank R. Beckwith said. Rev. C. V. Jeter, president of the Ministerial Alliance, described her as a woman with a pleasing personality. “One of the tallest women in Indiana has fallen,” he declared. The president of the Indiana State Baptist Convention, Rev. H. T. Toliver, said: “She lived so she could answer the call when it came. We have lost a good worker. I know of none other who has worked so wholeheartedly.” Others who gave remarks during the serene but highly emotional services included Mrs. Anna Washington, president of the Women’s Home and Foreign Missionaries; Mrs. Margaret Chambers, first vice-pres-ident, State Nurses, and Mrs. Mary Dumas, president, Central District Nurses. Among the flood of telegrams and condolences acknowledged were those from Baptist Convention officers who were unable to attend the funeral. They included Rev. C. D. Pettaway, president of the National Baptist Convention of America. Presiding at the services were th Reverends T. T. Newman and F. K. Dillard. Musical numbers were rendered by the Mt. Moriah Singers and the Jordanaires with a solo by Mrs. Marie Jones. The scripture reading was by Rev. James Williams, prayer by Rev. W. M. Robinson and benediction, Rev. A. J. Brown.

Brown; two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Snow and little Miss Ruth Brown; four brothers, Richard Hayes, Indianapolis; Saul Hayes, Chicago; Robert and Holton Hayes, New York City; two sisters, Mrs. Mary W.

The Changing of the Guard (Which did the English see first?) Gordon’s—by 68 years. Buckingham Palace became a royal residence in 1837, and that is when the Changing of the Guard became a fixture of English life. Gordon’s became one in 1769, when Alexander Gordon first
created his remarkable gin formula. Today’s Gordon’s still harks back to this original formula. It is the only way known to preserve the distinctive dryness and delicate flavour that have made Gordon’s the biggestselling gin in England,
