ST. PHILIP’S CHURCH
SECURES GOOD RESULTS
St. Philip’s Episcopal church took
an active part In the closing canvass
last Sunday in the Nation-Wide cam
paign. Despite the severe cold weath
er a large congregation was present
at the 11 o’clock service, which was
rather an informal one, ts the Holy
Eucharist had been offered* at an
earlier hour. Addresses were made
by Mr. John S. Hedelund, secretary
of the diocesan campaign committee;
Mrs. Isaac Bailey, Mr. W. G. Haynes,
parish chairman; Mr. M. F. Singleton;
the Rev. John Albert Williams and an
inspiring address on "Consecration”
by Bishop Shayler. At the close of
the service lunch was served in the
rectory to the members of the nine
teams, who then returned to the
church for prayers after which went to
visit those in their respective districts.
One hundred and eight calls were
made. One hundred and eight pledges
were signed for parish support and the
objects of the Nation Wide campaign,
and ninety-three service cards pledg
ing some personal work for Christ.
Persons not found at home will be
visted later. Several candidates for
conformation were also secured.
Those making the canvass were Ser
geant Bailey, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. John
Albert Williams, Sergeant Letcher,
Mrs. William Murphy, Mrs. S. B.

( ITT WEIGHT INSPECTOR
WOULD STOP SHRINKING
OF BREAD LOAVES HERE
_ l
J. VV. Long, city Inspector of weights
and measures, has brought before the
city council two 10-cent loaves of
white bread, one of which weighed
J10 3-4 ounces asd the other 11 ounces.
This was for the information of the
commissioners and no present action
was asked nor was any taken.
W. J. Haunter, city clerk, stated in
formally that when flour was $5.50
per barrel during prewar times a 16
ounce loaf of bread could have been
bought for 5 cents and with flour now
costing $13.50 per barrel some of the
bakers are making 11-ounce loaves
which retail for 10 cents.
"I am endeavoring to get the coun
cil interested in an ordinance for a
standard-weight loak of bread as they
have in Chicago," Mr. Long said. “My
observation has been that the 10-cent
loaves have been shrinking gradually.”
