Thursday Night
Worship Services
Starting this week, the Meth-
odist Church will have a regu-
lar worship service at 7 p. m
every Thursday. This new serv
ice will replace the Sunday j
evening worship service.
The church has recognized
the increasing tendency lo
travel, visit relatives, or take
advantage of nearby recrea-
tional facilities on the week-
end, particularly on Sunday;
therefore, in an attempt to
better serve the needs of the
people in this new day, the
church will offer a regular
worship service just preceding
the week-end.
This new service is begun in
the hope that those persons in
our community who have been
unable to attend worship sen
ices on Sunday may find it
possible to attend on Thursday

The Albany Jaycees will

Pullman Makes
Formal Statement
Saul Pullman, 25, Eastland
attorney, has formally an-
nounced as a candidate for
state representative for the
63rd District. The district is
composed of Callahan, East-
land. Palo Pinto, Shackelford
and Stephens Counties.
Pullman, a graduate of Tex-
as Christian University as well
as the University of Texas I^aw
School, has lived in Eastland
his entire life and is the son of
Mr. and Mrs Henry Pullman,
who are pioneers of Eastland.
His announcement is as fol
lows:
"i am the only candidate
who is a lawyer and who has
graduated from college i feel
that if a man is going to be a
strong representative for the
63rd District, he must have
graduated from college so that
he can give full time to the
people of these five counties
whenever they should call on
him. i know from my own ex
perience at the University of
Texas, that many members of
the legislature were attending
law school with me This i feel
is a great injustice to the pco
pie at home that sent these
men to Austin to represent
them.
"My decision to become a
candidate for the Texas House
of Representatives stems from j ( ROWNEI) CIIOIR QUEEN AND KING—A queen and two co-
