FOR BEST DECOR-
ATED BICYCLE
AND HOUSE
Christmas, 1964 is here and
the atmosphere as usual is
charged with excitement.
Last Saturday Santa Claus
came to Howe atop a big red
fire truck and gladdened the
hearts of young and old alike
as he shouted Christmas
greetings to everyone and
handed out fists full of candy
to a large number of children,
crowding Haning Street.
In spite of the ice and cold
wind several boys and girls
brought their decorated bicy-
cles to Santa to judge. Santa
Claus picked Clarence Med-
calf’s bicycle as the best
decorated boys’ bike and he
picked Debbie) Sanford’s bi-
cycle as the best decorated
girls’ bike. A prize of a box
of candy was awarded each
of them by Santa.
Monday and Tuesday nights
houses in the Howe area
were judged for the best
decorated depicting the true
meaning of the birth of the
BAPTIST
CHURCH NEWS
Two excellent crowds greet-
ed Carroll and Jackis Shaw
last Sunday. 190 were present
for Sunday School and the
auditorium was full for Rev.
Shaw’s message at the 11:00
preaching service. Twelve of
the sixteen departments and
classes reached their goals
for the Lottie Moon Christmas
offering for foreign missions.
The total received thus far
is $864.64. 100 attended the;
Training Union hour for a
question and answer period
with the Shaws. This was a
most informative period. In
answer to questions, Rev.
Shaw explained that: Negros
in South Africa, must carry
identification cards; must
live in exclusively Negro
areas; cannot vote in any
election or hold any govern-
ment office or employment
however trifling. and that the
average salary of the laborer
outside the cities is about $20
per month. With prices of
clothing and manufactured
as high or higher than here.
A Chevrolet car costs about
$5,000 there.
(And that is the original
home of the Negro.)
In the 7:00 worship service
Brother Carroll showed slides
of the mission work in South-
ern Rhodesia. At the fellow-
ship Mrs. Shaw showed and
explained several articles
brought back from Africa.
A snake-skin, monkey-skin,
wood-carvings, a hymn book,
part of an elephant’s ear
were among the items. The
church gave the Shaws a
check for $100.00 to help
pay the customs fee on ttlBir
cor. They also received sev-
eral personal gifts. It was a
Spirit-filled day.
