Special Service, Reception !Big Parade Scheduled
Set In Honor Of McClures
Dr. and Mrs. Claude M. McClure will be honored next Sunday, September 11, at Gobin Church during the 9:00 worship service and in the afternoon at a reception to be held in the Colonnade Room of the- church between the hours of 2:00 and
4:00.
Dr. McClure’s ministry began In 1918, and has continued in Northwest Indiana since 1922. He was pastor of Gobin Church from March 1, 1936 until December 1, 1941. Then he became superintendent of this district and continued to live in Greencastle until 1945, when he became pastor of First Church in Crawfordsville. From 1947 to 1961, he was chaplain of Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. In June of 1961 he was formally “retired” by the Northwest Indiana Conference, but the next day he began work as parish minister of Gobin and has served in that capacity until August 31 of this year. Dr. McClure was active in the County Council of Churches, the Greencastle Ministerial Association, Mental Health Association, and CROP. In fact, he was always willing to lend his support and efforts to all worthwhile causes including Red Cross and Salvation Army. Mrs. McClure, like her husband, took an active interest in church and community affairs. One of her main interests these past five years was the organization known as the Gobin Seniors, or XYZ Club, as it was formerly
called.
At the 9:00 worship service Sunday morning District Superintendent Ralph Steele will be present to assist in paying tribute to the McClures. New members win also be received since this represents one of Dr. McClure’s greatest interests. The McClures have many friends both in Greencastle and in the county who want to bid them farewell as they leave Greencastle to reside in a new duplex cottage at the Methodist Home in Franklin. The entire community is cordially invited to attend the reception between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 next Sunday afternoon. Communists Use Barrage Balloons SAIGON UPI—Barrage bal-

Young Man Is Dress Designer The elaborate plans of many individuals in either making or obtaining period costumes for their participation in the “Fair On the Square” festivities in Greencastle required a lot of ingenuity and talent on the part of some of our local citizens. Many hours of designing and serving are depicted in the many elaborate costumes worn during these two days of celebration. The Daily Banner reporter, in an interview with some of the ladies and men who were promenading on the Putnam County Court House Square, uncovered a local human interest story in conjunction with the origination of some of the costumes. Joe Case, a young man from Roachdale and a member of the staff of the Central National Bank of Greencastle is the designer, and tailor responsible for many of the beautiful and unique dresses, suits and accessories modeled by the Central National staff members. Joe’s talents also follow other channels. He is also recognized in his home area as an unusual floral gardener and arranger. Blondes Lead In Beauty Contest ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. UPI —Blondes held a 3 to 1 lead today in the competition for the Miss America crown. The Thursday night preliminary wins of two blondes— shapely Miss South Carolina and talented Miss Ohio—made it appear the long time jinx against fair haired beauties may end this year.

aloft over Communist North Viet Nam in attempts to turn back low-flying U.S. jets, It was
disclosed today.
The balloons, seen over the capital of Hanoi and the key port of Haiphong, are about 12 to 15 feet in diameter. They are attached to steel cables and sent to heights of 3,500 to 4,000 feet, American pilots said. Spokesmen said the balloons rising in great arcs over the North have in some cases caused U.S. planes to turn away. The barrage balloons could spell deadly trouble in at least two ways, sources said. First they make low-level approaches by attacking aircraft more hazardous. Many U.S. jet planes now swoop in at about 1,000 feet over targets. Higher flying planes are easier targets for antiaircraft weapons. Second, balloons make U.S. planes more vulnerable to Communist surface-to-air (SAM) missiles, which also are more effective at high altitude. U.S. spokesmen said excessive numbers of the balloons have not been sighted over Hanoi or
Haiphong as yet.

pageant in 1958. Sharon Elaine Phillian, Miss Ohio, caught the judges’ eye and the audience’s heart when she closed her vocal medley with a Yankee Doodle version of “This is My Country.” "I decided on something 1 patriotic,” she explained after the judges' approval was announced, “because when you do something you like you put more feeling in it... your eyes twinkle." “I have a small American flag given me by my father as a good luck charm. I didn’t have it on stage ... I left it back at my room,” the Delaware, Ohio, miss said. There was litUe chance Miss South Carolina, Barbara Anne Harris of Greenville, S. C., could have carried her good luck charm in the snug aqua swimsuit clinging to her 36-22%-36 figure. The curvy coed’s father, sitting at the runway with her mother, was wearing Barbara’s charm—a pair of white loafers he had worn every time his daughter has competed in beauty pageants.

Rev. Maxwell James Webb will preach this Sunday morning in the worship service of The First Christian Church. The service begins at 10:30 o’clock. His subject will be “The Frontiers of the Church.” Rev. and Mrs. Webb returned to Greencastle late Sunday night after an 11-week absence, during which time they served as members of a special Summer Evangelism Team in northern Japan from June 23-August 15. The past three weeks were spent visiting Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, India and
Egypt.
Invited by the Kyodan (United Church of Christ in Japan) and appointed by the Division of Foreign Missions of the United Christian Missionary Society of the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ), Rev. Webb was one of two ministers of his denomination serving with the 15-member team. Other denominations represented included the Reformed Church of America, the United Church of Canada, the Methodist Church, the Evangelical United Brethren Church, the United Church of Christ in the U.S.A., the Presbyterian Church U.S., and the United Presbyterian Church. The Webbs "were serving In Taira and Onahama, rapidly growing cities on the Pacific coast about 150 miles north of Tokyo. These two communities, with three other cities and eight villages will form the new Iwaki City October 1st, with a population of about 350,000 and an area of nearly 25 square miles. Three special “reports” have been scheduled for the congregation of The First Christian Church and residents of the community: Sunday evening, October 2 and 16 and Thursday evening, October 27.

Church school classes for all ages is at 9:40 a.m., with children through grade 3 continuing their education period until 11:40 o’clock. Worship is from 10:30. Dr. Frank G. Helme, associate minister of the church, will conduct the worship service.
WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson’s latest plea for government economy brought congressional budget - cutters, out in full cry today against his favorite Great Society pro-
grams.
Church Deadline
Multi-billion-dolHr request for authority to continue school aid and the war on poverty and to start rebuilding decayed cities looked like the most tempting targets for the antispenders. These bills are the required basis of later appro-
priations.
Johnson made it clear in his message to Congress Thursday that he didn’t want these programs killed. But Great Society critics were interpreting it as a signal for open season on big
welfare-type projects.
Johnson said that if the authorization bills passed by one or the other houses or pending before committees became law, $4 billion in new spending could result. Some of!

“The Starting Point” at 11 a.m. on Sunday September 11, will be the cue not only for the sermon by the Rev. Jameson Jones in Gobin Methodist Church, but the signal for WGRE to begin its 18th year of service to the community of Greencastle and Putnam County. Actually, the radio program will begin at 10:30 a.m. with Music for Meditation. At 11 the program will switch to Gobin Church for the broadcast of this service by the DePauw radio station, 91.5 me FM. WGRE began operation in 1949 as the first 10-watt FM non-commercial radio station in the United States. Since then, over 50 10-watt stations have joined the air-waves. In 1962 DePauw University outgrew this honor by installing a 250watt transmitter to serve Putnam County with community and educational features. WGRE will continue Bainbridge Pointer Profiles, FiHmore Cardinal Keynotes, G.H.S. Teen Topics, and Greencastle Schools on the Air. Fans will remember the historic “piggy-back” broadcast of the Indiana Semi-final basketball tournament last March, with the Bainbridge Pointers and the Cloverdale Clovers sharing honors. Sports Broadcasts will continue to be a strong feature of WGRE programming.

8:48 a.m., EDT and the Gemini at 10:25 a.m., when trouble developed during the fueling of the Titan II rocket that carried the Gemini capsule. The trouble was pinpointed as a leak in the tank holding the oxydizer in the first stage of
the Titan.
A spokesman for the space program said it was not known how long a postponement would be necessary, but said the flight definitely would not go today. He said it would be necessary to remove all fuel from the rocket in order to find and re-
pair the leak.
The spokesman said there was a possibility the flight could be rescheduled for Saturday if the hole that allowed the fuel to leak out proved to be
