P. has asked that the offending clause be stricken out of all bulletins and that those already in circulation he recalled and des troyed. OLD FOLKS HOME ASSOCIATION MEETS IN ELMWOOD PARK I he Old Folks Home Association held its monthly meeting Wednesday morning at Elmwood park. It was preceded by a breakfast served to the members and in vited guests, which included the ministers of the city and their wives. After the breakfast Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith, the president, spoke of the mortgaged debt of $4,000 which remains on the property and invited a discussion as to what should he done concerning it. The concensus of opinion voiced by the ministers present wag that a drive should be arranged for probably early next year to raise a fund to pay off this debt. An educational cam paign should precede the drive clearing up misapprehensions and misunderstand ingg in the minds of the people which now exist. This campaign should make it plain that while it is true the Community Chest contributes towards the maintenance of the home, it docs not contribute one penny towards paying the indebtedness on the home. This must be taken care of in some other way. The ministers present, the Rev. Messrs. Burchardt, Botts, Ellis, C. A. Williams and John Albert Williams, pledged support and co-operation in the drive for the fund as soon as the Board of Directors had worked out the plan. Several memberships were secured ut this meeting and other business was trans acted.
