ture. Preliminary ground work
is now in progress.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Com-
pleting a search that has lasted
more than a year, the elders of
the West End Church of Christ
have announced the purchase of
a sixteen-acre tract for the relo-
cation of its church facilities.
The new location is near the
intersection of Walker Springs
Road and Interstate Highway 40
on the west side of Knoxville.
This site is visible and easily
accessible to the traffic flow in
the city. It is more centrally lo-
cated with respect to the pres-
ent building and offers a greater
growth potential as it is in the
center of the fastest growing
residential area in Knox County.
This new site offers amide

The theme was "Over the
Rauibow” and a 20 foot long
rainbow was made, under which
the young people entered the
banquet hall. Ae rainbow was
also the setting for photographs
of the couples present.

out with colorful 16-page pro*
gram booklets and a pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow. The

with a white linen tablecloth,
silver candelabras, and flowers.
