the Shoal Creelt Baptist church Fri
day night. This church was built 19
years ago near the site of the old

in this county. There are around two
hundred members, and this church i
I
was considered one of the best and !
most progressive churches In the as- 1
soclation.
The actual loss cannot well be ,
estimated due to the fact that tlw
people donated much of the laboi
ind material to the building. How
ever the actual money spent has
been estimated at $1,200. The build
ing was in good repair, a new rool j
was put on around a year ago. Rev

18-19 Year Olders
May Volunteer For
Officer Ratings
Proposed drafting of 1J and 19
yo.tr old men will not hinder those
youths who wish to volunteeT for the
Navy, Lt. Charles B. Nt-ely, officer
in-charge of the State's Navy Re
cruiting Service, says.
"However." the officer said, "the
Navy aw is offering votine men op
portunities which no other service
can match. All of our men arc
trained to be specialists in some
field ? and if a man does not want
lo advance, we are not interested in
him."

pecially in the Naval Reserve, young
sters who can think quickly and
wisely are advanced to highest petty
