Methodist Men
Receive Charter
(SEE RELATED PHOTO
ON PAGE 3)
The Cottle King United
Methodist Men recently re-
ceived their charter from the
United Methodist Church Board
of Laity. The charter, 1974
edition, was presented at the
January 15 meeting of the fel-
lowship and accepted officially
by President J. W. Polk and
L. M. McCarroll, vice -
chairman.
Present at the January
meeting were 15 members, 4
of whom were new members.
Total membership is now 19
active members, according to
a spokesman for the group, and
they have a long range goal of
50% of the Methodist Cee Vee-
Dumont-Paducah charge.
Chairman Polk encouraged
all past members to renew
their membership and invites
all Methodist men to become
members of the group.
Regular meeting night is the
third Tuesday of each month at
g
some special purpose districts,
Futch said. Some assistance
may go to nonprofit corpora-
tions, provided they prepare
plans for adequate repayment.
Futch pointed out that prior-
ity will be given to municipal
borrowers in communities
smaller than 5,500 people to im-
prove a deteriorating water
supply or to enlarge or modify
a water system or an inadequate
sewer system. Proposed plans
must be consistent with area
wide development plans.
Borrowers may use funds to
acquire land and/or water
rights, to construct buildings
of modest design, size and cost
essential to the operation of the
community facility and to
provide for a large variety of
other needs.
