A national Jaycee project called for local dubs to assist police in cutting down on vandalism on Halloween night. However, Clinton Jaycees con tacted local police and discovered that Clinton has little trouble with Halloween vandalism. So, the Jaycees re-directed their efforts and set up a ‘treat” stand in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot so that more youngsters could enjoy the night. They gave away candy, balloons and other treats. The Jaycees had prepared 600 bags of treats to give away but they gave all of these away in the first 30 minutes the stand was open. They esti mate they gave treats to about 1,200 children by 8 p.m. Police report there again was no vandalism thai night. Sunday was a doubly special day for Dr. E. Bryan Keisler, interim pastor of St. John's Luther an Church. He was in charge of the dedication services for the new church on the Greenwood Highway. He didn’t mention it at the service but it also was the 45th anniversary of his ordination. Dr. Keisler was ordained on Nov. 1, 1923, in Savannah, Ga., and last Sunday was the Sunday closest to Nov. 1. Although he considers himself “semi-retired”, Dr. Keisler was the driving force behind construction of the new church. He retired over four years ago as president of Central Luth eran Seminary in Fremont, Neb., and came to Clin ton as interim pastor on July 16, 1964. At that time of his retirement, he was dean of all Lutheran seminary presidents in the United States and Canada, having served in that capacity for 14 years.
