Construction Continues on Campground Auditorium
At the time of the constituency
meeting last May it was voted to
erect an open-air auditorium on
the campgrounds at Hobble Creek
Canyon near Springville, Utah.
This would replace the main
meeting tent which had served for
many years and is now nearing the
end of its usefulness.
Pastor H. E. Darby, who is
pastoring the Truckee Church, is
leading out in the erection of this
auditorium. Work has been pro-
gressing for about two months and
hopefully the roof will be on the
building before the winter weather
sets in.
The foundation is in, most of
Grace Mcleod Teaches Cooking
Recently Grace McLeod con-
ducted a cooking school at the
Highland Square church in Las
Vegas as a community service
primarily to instruct new members
in the preparation of healthful
diets. She was assisted by Virginia
Griffin, the director of the local
community services center.
Not only did members attend
but they brought others who were
not Adventists who shared in this
venture.

Clothing Needed for
Distribution by SAWS
A great need for clothing has
been expressed by the General
Conference Seventh-day Advent-
ist World Service office.
Thus all community service
workers are encouraged to be
diligent in collecting and packing
clothing for use in supplying these
needs.
Local community service units
are intended first to help local
people, yet the world outlet is
something that gives local church-
es an opportunity to do much
good for all mankind.
Two warehouses, one on the
East Coast and one on the West
Coast, serve the world field.
Cooperation will make these
warehouses channels through
which blessings can flow out to
serve the needy places of the
world.

the blocks are laid, and next it is
planned to erect the arches, then
move ahead with the roofing.
This auditorium will provide a
more comfortable meeting place
and storage for tents and other
camp-meeting supplies.
The structure is being built of
wood, glue-lined beams with a
shake roof, which will just fit into
that area of the campgrounds.
Work that cannot be completed
this fall will be finished in time for
camp meeting June 23-28.
Elder Darby has been assisted
by his brother and Tom Mc-
Meekin, along with additional
help by folk at the Smith Ranch.
The building is being con-
structed with Conference develop-
ment funds. You will notice a line
on your tithe envelope for Con-
ference Development. Between
now and the end of the year, every
member is urged to contribute
something to this worth-while
project. This fund is intended to
be used to build other church and
school buildings throughout the
Conference as soon as this first
project is completed.
Why not make it a habit to turn
in a small amount for this fund
each time you turn in your tithe
and other offerings?

privilege to have Adventist chil-
dren attending school where the
Bible is not only stressed on a dai-

aside to emphasize Bible study
and prayer?

future.”

got his exercise each day by plan-
ning games with the children at
