PASTOR BUILDS CHILD'S HAVEN ONFAITH ALONE

Food and Clothing Come When Most Needed at ‘Home’ Without Sponsor.

CRYSTAL BEACH, Fla, April 7| —Unswerving faith that “the Lord will provide” was the only resource the Rev. Fred Markert and his wife had when they took on the rearing of 83 children.

It has proved enough. The “family” of 83 children and 16 adults have come again and again to the point of need, but always at the last moment their faith nas been vindicated. What they needed always came to them, The Markerts were missionaries in the Canary Islands 16 years ago Believing that language difficulties left them unprepared for their work, they returned to Florida to start a school to train missionaries, Depend on Faith

Without money, but with boundless faith, they rented a 40-room house in Tampa. In the first week of their residence, a widow brought them her 12-year-old “incorrigible boy.” The Markests had no accontmodations for even the first boy, so

they told the woman to return in three days. ~ «f= Two days later two mattresses arrived from an unknown donor. When the widow returned the next day she was told that if the boy would sleep on the floor they would take him in. That afternoon, when the Rev. Mr. Markert was paying an installment on his furniture, the merchant offered him 20 old beds he had stored away. The furnishing of the home was begun in earnest. Gradually the family grew. Most of them came to what scon became Faith Mission before they were three. Today the 83 children range from infancy to 16 years.

Child Retains Name

Each child retains its own name, but is brought up to look on the Markerts as its parents. Their training is non-sectarian, but based on the Bible. After five years in Tampa, the Markerts moved to what used to be a hotel here, with 30 rooms and an acre and a half of land looking out on the Gulf of Mexico. It was leased for $100 a month. Even then the Markerts hadn't any money. But they had faith, and money, food, clothing, and other necessities continued to appear when most needed. Haphazard contributions by kindly people have maintained the institution without formal sponsors, endowment, or any organized form of assistance. None of the 16 assistants at the mission get any salary. Five of them are teachers, the rest are all driven by a desire to serve, The county supplied a school building and an old school bus.

Music Is Taught

Every child learns to play a musical instrument, all donated. The children have made up a “little symphony” orchestra which has played before as many as 7000 people. Timely contributions have made it possible to buy the present home, debt-free. Yet there have been times when the Markerts literally didn't know where the next meal was coming from. “One Saturday,” they relate, “there was nothing on the pantry shelves for the evening meal. But before table-setting time a motorist whom we had never seen before drove up with $35 worth of groceries. Some wonderful things have happened. Last fall all the children needed shoes very badly, but we had no money for them. Then a letter arrived from a lady in Tampa. She had bought a pair of shoes each for 81 of our children. “We were behind on our January bills, but on the 27th, a man and] his daughter, visited us and left a | check for $250, which cleared us| for the month.” “The Lord will provide,” say the Markerts. And He has.

HARTSELLE, Ala, April 7—A, Witt Burleson—nad she's milking

year ago she was the toast of Alabama, the University of Alabama's all-American cheer leader, the envy of a thousand other high school and college girls all over America. As late as January, 1938 she “stole the show” when Alabama's football team played in Pasadent's Rose Bowl. For a year she was perhaps the best known college girl in the country, and her picture appeared in newspapers over the

‘bama farm.

Since Miss Burleson received her diploma at the University of Alabama, she has been living quietly on the farm near Hartselle, feeding the pigs and chickens, milking the cows and generally helping around the house. Martha Witt has not forgotten her college days altogether and she continues to practice dancing. Nor does she expect to settle down and remain a farmerette.

WPA AWARDS SAFETY TROPHY TO MAINE

WASHINGTON, April 7 (U. P) — The Works Progress Administration today awarded its monthly safety trophy for February to the state of Maine. Delaware, which led in January, was second, the District of Columbia third. The award is made on a scoring

system based on the number of fatalities and injuries per unit of work. Other states with high safety ratings were Nevada, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, Nebraska and Florida.

“I'm going to spend a while with my relatives,” she said, “eating and living off them. That's a good old Southern custom. “Then I'm going to some big city and strike out and make a name for myself. I think I'll try newspaper work. I took journalism at the university.” Martha Witt likes to dance, and she wants to go to one more big dance at the university before she settles down to earning her own living.

Court Sets May 5 Deadline For Concurrence on Reorganization.

Stockholders and creditors of the Indianapolis Athletic Club and the Indianapolis Athletic Club Realty Co. will have until May 5 to approve the reorganisation plan of the two organizations, it was announced today.
