JOANNA CHURCH PASSES GOAL;
TO PAY DEBT TWO YEARS EARLY
The Joanna Baptist church, at
its first annual homecoming day
in October, 1949, earmarked $400 in
a special building fund for church
facUitias expansion and three
months later following a recom
mendation made by the Board of
Deacons the church membership
voted to set a $10,000 biulding goal
each year for several years.
It was announced at the 1991
Homecoming Day that the members
had far exceeded their yearly goal
and the indebtedness of some $60.-
000 is expected to be paid off with
in the next church year, which will
be two years less time than the
church leaders had anticipated.
The church report for the asso-
ciational year just ended lists a
membership of 515. There were
360 members a tthe time the build
ing program was begun. The
Training Union enrollment is 149
and the Sunday schol* enrollment
is 569 Two years ago It was 400.
Thus 269 of the 300 possibilities
listed have been brought into the
Sunday school Total gifts for mis
sions amounted to $2,399 IS, and
building and equipment totals $64.-
867.04, with a remaining indebted
ness of $15,983.74. The pastor, the
Rev. James B. Mitchell, and church
leaders express every confidence
that the remaining $15,000 will be
paid off before October 1, 1952.

church Feb. 1, 1949. Mrs. Mitch

porters packed into the marble
pillared GOP Senators' Conference
room, Taft said:
1— He will welcome the support
of Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) or
any other Republican senator.
2— He declared his candidacy “re
ceived encouragement” from Gen.
Douglas MacArthur in a recent
| Cleveland speech. MacArthur said
in that speech that Ohio had con
tributed abundantly to American
leadership. “Indications muutiply,”
the general added, “that this lead
ership may even increase in the not
too distant future.”
3— Taft doesn’t believe there is
any immediate occasion for Guy
George Gabrielson to resign as Re
publican national chairman but he
thinks contacts such as Gabrielson
made with the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation “might become
an embarrassment to the party.”
In all, Taft issued three mimeo
graphed statements announcing his
candidacy and a fourth one de
nying he told President Truman he
was not “particularly disappoint-
! ed” in the President’s 1948 victory
' over Dewey.
