"Some people seem to be surprised ] that the board of temperance of the < Methodist Episcopal church should i suggest that prohibition officers have,] \ a right to defend themselves quickly and effectively when threatened by armed criminals," the board said in a' j statement issude today ampniying a previous statement along the same'; lines. !, "The cries of bereft children of faithful prohibition officers rise to ^ heaven," the statement continued.

One Year of Pastorate Salisbury Post. Rev. Edwin Fullenwider, pastor of i St. John's Lutheran church, has been j on the job for one year. "On the job" may not be a very dignified term :o use in connection with a pastorate, but in this case it is very expressive indeed. We do not recall a congrega- i fcion that has responded to leadership; as in this case, and the result has been ;he talk of the town. Mr. Fulenwider is a very modest man, quiet, unassumng and totally yithout self praise or ng and totally without self praise or lis splendid showing made in this first / ear, lies largely in tne one wora so i :huck full of meaning?cooperation;! cooperation between an earnest, wide- J iwake pastor and an alert congrega- j ;ion.
