I years work, enthusiasm, and j dreams, Traylor said. A fac-i i tor in its attainment, he said, ' was the fine cooperation of the! Rev. Charles Vale and his II family. Traylor was also lavish in , his praise for the congrega-j , tions of the Zion and Jerusa-j lem Churches. They co-operated fully and unselfishly in I working out plans for divid ing me cnarge, ne said. In spite of a substantial increase in the church budget, Traylor said that the congregation of the Norlina church was very happly over the change. The budget was upped from $6,275 to $10,775.00 The congregation numbers 290. The establishment of the church as a station, Traylor said, not only has increased enthusiasm of the members and strengthened the local church, but has served to strengthen the Sunday school. He said that as long as the pastor of the Norlina Church was required to hold services at other churches, it meant that the Sunday School could not be held until after the church services. Now Sunday school is held at 9:50 and the worship service at 11 o'clock. "It is all just a wonderful dream come true," Traylor concluded. lied As President ary Gub Tuesday l Program, Hank Hardy; and t Band, Frank Reams and Bill 1 Perry. 1 Gaston said that in order that the Rotary Club might 1 again financially aid the John 1 Grahm High School Band, community calendars would again be sold this year.
