The Ennis Community Trust is
regarded as the “old standby” of
charitable agencies in this com-
munity, having functiontd year
in and year out for a long while.
It is the purpose of the Com-
munity, having functioned year
are up against adversity until
they are able to improve their
circumstances, if possible, and
stand on their own, the presi-
dent of the Community Trust,
Charles E. Gentry points out.
Of course, only those things
which are quite necessary to the
well-being of the clients of the
Community Trust are made
available to them—for example,
food, medicine, clothing and
necessary utilities.
And, then, such assistance is
granted only after the cases are
carefully screened by the case-
worker, Mrs. W. I. Rabe, who
has had a number of years’ ex-
perience in this sort of service,
and knows the people of the
community quite well.
Ennis Community Trust is
known to be The Friend in Need
in this community, when hard-
ship befalls an individual or a
family. Incidentally it has an
acute need of funds right now.
Fortunately the United Fund
authorities have always been
pleased to include this agency
in their list of participating
agencies

The Rev. Charlie Pringle, a
successful businessman for
years who turned minister, was
guest speaker for Kiwanis yes-
terday, at its weekly session at
the Community Center, and told
of the influence of God in his
life. President James Joly pre-
sided over the meeting.
Billy Ables was program
chairman and spoke of becom-
ing a friend of the minister
while the latter was Baptist pas-
tor at Ferris and he was music
director there. Mr. Pringle is
now pastor at Kerens.
A tthe age of 31, the Rev. Mr.
Pringle heeded a call to the
ministry, after God had had such
an important part in his life,
hearing his prayers while in the
business world, on many occa-
sions.
And he declared that “the
Lord showed me that there is
something more in life than the
dollar;.. .. that this life can be
a preparation for that which is
to come... He taught me that I
could conduct myself, in the
contracting business, as a
Christian.”
“God will meet you,” he said,
“on your level of understand-
, ing." .

Presbyterians
Take Beds to
Beulah Land
AUSTIN.—Many of the weary
victime of Hurricane Beulah
may get a good night’s rest be-
cause of an unusal gift from
Presbyterians.
Truckloads of bedding—mat-
tresses, box springs, pillows,
and linens—have been delivered
to Falfurrias and Harlingen.
The clean new beds replace sog-
gy, dirty bedding ruined by the
floodwaters which accompanied
Beulah.
The gift beds are a “token of
the care and concern of th e
Presbyterian churches all over
the southland,” a note accom-
panying.
Purchased by the contribu-
tions of churchmen in 16 South-
ern states where the Presbyter-
ian US denomination is located
the beds are part of a relief
program which is providing
clothing, food and financial aid
for Beulah victims all o v e r
South Texas. *

lages in the buffer zone as base
camps. One of these fortified
villages was raided by B-52s last

How is everything in Ennis?
Fine, I hope. I have been in the
hospital for four weeks now.
Don’t know just how long I will
have to stay here. Ennis sure
would look good, though. Hope I
won’t have to stay here much
longer. Just wanted to say “hel-
lo” and hope to see you soon. As
ever—Ed Martin.

you’re better, as you’re able to
