Rent Controls Extended
Until October 1
WASHINGTON, UP — House
Speaker Martin said Monday that
President Eisenhower and Repub
lican congressional leaders have
agreed to extend the present rent
control law until October 1.
Rent controls will expire April
30 unless extended by Congress.
The present law provides for
rent ceilings on more than 5 Vz
million housing units, including
those in critical defense areas and
in cities where local governments
have requested ceilings.
Martin said that the extension
to October 1 would serve as a
notice to individual states that
after that date the federal gov
ernment would step out, except in
critical defense areas.

Sacred Music Concert
At Methodist Church
Heard by Capacity Crowd
The evangelist services held all
last week at the Community Meth
odist Church was climaxed last
Saturday evening with an hour
and a half of sacred music selec
tions with the church filled to
capacity and many turned away
for lack of seating capacity.
Included in the evening’s pro
gram were many ^well-known and
well-loved sacred selections, out
standing of which were “Prayer
Perfect,” sung by Sgt. Bob Scott;
“Stranger of Gallilee” and “The
Lord’s Prayer,” sung by Dan
Snively; “Ave Maria,” played by
Mrs. Florence Kearnes on the cel
lo and Mrs. R. DuFresne on the
harp.
Interesting instrumental selec
tions incuded a piano and organ
duet by Mrs. DuFresne and Mr.
Snively; harp and musical saw,
by Mr. and Mrs. DuFresne; and
an organ and harp duet by Mrs.
DuFresne and Robert Baldwin;
and harp solos by Mrs. DuFresne.
The music was not only inspira
tional but in many cases a new
experience for those who had
never heard the musical saw and
harp.
Mr. and Mrs. DuFresne and Dan
Snivply, who come from Vancou
ver, Wash., where Mr. DuFresne
is in business, not only led the
evangelistic services but gave of
their talents over the local radio
station daily and were featured
at civic organizations during the
week.

Pioneer Whist Series
Played Saturday Night
Now that the halfway mark has
been turned and the contestants
are on the home stretch, the Pio
neer whist tournament is really
getting exciting, and there are
three more games yet to be
played.
Mrs. Peggy Kelliher, who took
the lead from the start, still main
tains it, and is in first place with
a score of 349. Miss Gladys Stauf
fer is now second with a score of
333; Christine Angell third with
329 and Elma Glaviooyich close
up with 329 also.
Luther Dunbar is leading the
men with a score oI 337; Tolbert
Scott 332; Herb Jenks 331 and
Dan Jones only a nose behind
with 330.
There are several other men
and women in the tournament
Who are dose up to the leaders
and there are so many good whist
players that it would be impos
sible to forecast the victors at this
time. We are inclined to agree
With Tolbert Scott’s recommenda
tion which is: ‘‘Attend all the
games, play your best and you
stand a good chance to take home
a lifetime treasure,” a beautiful
gold trophy.
Next game Saturday, March 28.
KEEP MILITARY GOODS
FROM COMMUNISTS,
SAYS CONGRESSMAN
WASHINGTON, (£) — Rep. Batt
(D-Ala) said today the Commun
ists still “get pretty much what
they want” in strategic material
from the west, and that the U.S.
should wage “a vigorous and com
prehensive” campaign to shut it
off.
He said present measures to
keep military goods from the
Communists are inadequate and
are not being properly enforced.
Fish, like cattle, often seek
shade in hot weather.
