Logansport Council Cuts Out Own

Salaries

But Soon Restores ‘Em.

By JOE COLLIER

A LOGANSPORT newspaper reports that the Ctly Council there is “still struggling with the City budget” and that it nears a deadline. If you read far enough into the story you find out just how great a struggle the Councilmen are having. It is practically a tug of war.

For instance, it met Friday to

undo hastily something it had met

Thursday and deliberately done. Owing to heat and humidity, daylight

saving time .and hay fever, not to mention general absent-mindedness, it had cut out its own salary.

T0 METHODISTS

Simplified, Says Bishop Lowe on Eve of Parley.

Officials of the Methodist Church are more than satisfied with the results of unification of that group from three separate bodies three years ago. Bishop Titus Lowe, who will be the presiding bishop of the third annual Indiana Methodist Conference which opens tomorrow in the

Meridian Street Methodist Church,

today expressed pleasure: with the operation of the new, simplified bedy which grew out of three different Methodist organizations at a canference in Kansas City in September, 1939. : ° “We have found vastly less difficulty in operating the affairs of the Church than we anticipated,” said Bishop Lowe. “Members of the groups were more ready psychologically for the change than any of us expected.” . The Bishop added that there is extreme satisfaction among administrators of the new church, which comprises 8,000,000 Methodists in all parts of the world. Previously the membership had been divided into the ‘Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Protestant Church, and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. ’ One of the features of this conference is to be the report of a committee . studying the proposal introduced at the conference last year to reapportion some of the seven districts making up the Indiana Area. Committee to Report

The purpose of the change is to simplify administrative problems. Delegates were unahle to agree on the proposition last year, so a committee, of which the Rev. W. C. Patrick of Connersville is chairman, was appointed to investigate the desirability of such a change. Friday the representative committee of the Conference reports on the “state of the country.” When thi§ committee’s resolution has gone through debate among the 700 delegates, it will represent the authoritative, on-record attitude of the Methodist Church of Indiana Area on the state of the nation; matters of world import, and any public issues. which the conference deems worthy of official consideration. This committee is composed of a minister and a layman from each of the seven districts. Ministers serving on the committee will be the Rev. G. H. Lytle, representing the Indianapolis district; the Rev. E. L. Flory, the Rev. Mr. Patrick, the Rev. R. O. McRae, the Rev. R. O. Pearson, the Rev. N. G. Talbott, and the Rev. H. R. Page.

yinted to the committee are vey Hartsock, Indianapolis; T. M. McDonald, J, T. Breece and D. H. Sanders. | Ordination on Sunday

The Rev. Logan Hall, pastor of the Meridian Street Methodist Church, is to be host pastor to the Conference. Bishop Lowe will call the Conference to order tomorrow at 10:30 a. m., will preach the Conference. sermon Sunday, and will give the closing message in the evening. “Ordination ceremonies will be performed at 2:15 p. m. Sunday, during which student ministers will be admitted to various offices of the church. According to:the present system of ministerial education, Methodist ministers are required to have finished four years of college work, and then to have gone through the school of ministerial training, which is a course of supervised reading, supplemented by a week’s resident training each summer at DePauw University and examinations in September. It is expected that six or seven students will be elevated to deacons’ orders, and that six deacons will be ordained elders at the ceremonies Sunday. Bishop Lowe, as-

Senate Group Seeks to Learn What Char _2s Should Be Made.

Times Special : WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Hearings will start soon on a resolution by Senator Lister Hill (D. Ala) to make a “thorough and complete investigation” of the pay received by selectees, National Guardsmen, reserves, and regular Army men. They will be conducted by a subcommittee of the Senate Military Affairs Committee headed by Senator Hill, :

the resolution yesterday, conferred with Chairinan Robert Reynolds of the Military Affairs Committee before the latter left for Des Moines to make a speech. “The purpose of the investigation,” said Senator Hill, “is to see what adjustments ought to be made, having in mind that the pay

now received by the men in serv-

ice is not what it should be, considering what the Government is paying everybody else.” Asked what he meant by the Government “paying everybody else,” Senator Hill said: “Well, isn’t the Government putting up most of the money for the defense industries?”
