Hodgson Resigns Ministry At the regular meeting of the Vestry of St. Luke's Episcopal Church Sept. 7, The Rev. Fr. Ro bert E. Hodgson announced that he would be leaving this parish at the end of the month. Fr. Hodgson has accepted a position granted to him by the Rt. Rev. Charles Bennison, Bis hop of the Diocese of Western Michigan. He will assume his new duties Oct. 1. These duties offer a diversi fied ministry, since they involve being the Bishop's Vicar for St. James Church, Chaplain to a Church affiliated elder citizens' residence and rest home, and overseer of St. Michael's Camp. The latter might possibly be re located in the future. The posi tion brings with it a substantial increase in stipend and aux iliary benefits. The work is centered in the Oceana County resort area on the shores of Lake Michigan. Al though summer recreational ac tivities and water sports have been the principal resort func tions for many years, winter ac tivities have recently been in troduced to the area. Local in dustry embraces commercial fishing, lumber, and will soon boast the nation's first solar energy electric production plant. Fr. Hodgson emphasized his regret in leaving St. Luke's Church and this city. "Saying goodbye is always difficult, but in my case it is virtually impos sible. Not only are there the many beloved parishioners, but also numbers of close friends outside the Church. When I add to this the civic leaders and school personnel, the members of the several organizations with whom I've worked in and for the community, the Ministers of the other Churches, and the gracious business people, you can .see why I regret moving. "However, this is an opportu nity that I could not decline for it will expand my ministry and benefit nie financially." ' Chester Stones of Nehawka Honored As State Soil Conservation Winners NEHAWKA (Special) Mr. and Mrs. Chester Stone were honored Thursday evening by the State Chamber of Commerce in Lincoln when they were re cognized for outstanding work in conservation.

This year many counties had pictures exhibited and the Stones were .selected as The school's proposal had been to transport the 8 or 10 Winter steen kindergarteners to Colum bian School to be part of a class there. Wintersteen patrons objected because of the difficulty in ar ranging for transportation and because they evidently felt the Wintersteeeii room designed for kindergarteners should be used in preference to having their children become part of a class in a non-kinr'.ergarlen room else where. For the meeting, the Board susuended its regular order of business and heard the visitors first. The Board promised study of various approaches to the prob lem and Supt. O. F. Mussm in today announced the new ar rangement. He called it a "compromise" and added that his opinion is that it is "not a desirable situation" having as many as 32 to 34 youngsters of varying grade lev els in a combined class.
