The Clinton Jaycees “Halloween Treat” stand
was a popular place Thursday night.
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.

want to remodel the old court
house and build a county office
building, and you have a clear
majority. There are some who
interpret the vote the other way,
meaning those who voted for No. 2
and No. 3 are in the majority.
However, I interpret it as mean
ing a majority wants to do some
thing about the courthouse situa
tion. We may have hi get some
sort of legal interpretation about
this. I have not conferred with the
other members of the delegation
about this yet.'
