While some were fortunate in locat ing several, others were less fortu nate. One small four year old boy was broken hearted because he found no eggs, so he returned to their car sobbing broken heartedly, while the mother was frantically searching the hills for her lost son. When she returned to the car, she found him bewildered but happy, with a hat filled with eggs, which sympathiz ing friends had given to him. Mennonite People Very Active The many churches of the Men nonite faith over the state have had in mind a central point where they can have a tebernacle with sufficient ground for cabins and an eating house, where they can gather during the summer months to hold their meetings and have space and facili ties to care for: the visiting mem bers. The state organization has pur chased a parcel of ground containing five lots and will begin immediately the work of building the tebernacle, eating house and row of cabins, as well as landseaping the grounds. It is expected to have the work far enough advanced by the first of Aug ust so that a camp meeting may be started by that date. This move will make Weeping Water the central headquarters of the churches of the state. The work of erecting the buildings and land s(5aping"the grounds will give em ployment to a number of local peo ple for some time. At present there are work projects under way that are provinding jobs for all the able-bodied men of the commuunity, including the new com - muniiy uuuuiiig, scuuui nuuse ciiiu sewer system.
