MONTREAT PLANS (Cont’d From Page 6)
(4) The kitchen equipment in the Inn has been improved in line
with the recommendations of the health authorities. Further work
remains to be done when funds are available.
(5) Under expert advice measures are being carried out which
promise improvement of the Auditorium acoustics.
(6) A number of cottage owners have given substantial and gen
erous help on roads, extension of power and water lines, etc.
The next step in the campaign is the use of Montreat Day, May
22, 1949, to inform and interest the entire Church more fully as to
Montreat’s importance and as to the present needs. The General As
sembly has authorized a special offering for Montreat on that day,
and committees are at work in every synod urging pastors to recog
nize Montreat Day and give their people a chance to help.
The Montreat Day plans have been presented in the presbyterial
meetings of the. Women of the Church, in the regular spring meetings
of some eighty presbyteries, and in men’s groups and men’s Bible
classes in local churches.
The interest shown by the Montreat trustees and other friends in
all parts of the Church has been most encouraging. There has been
no difficulty in finding men and wmmen to make the presentations in
the various meetings. In every synod letters are being sent out like
the following from Rev. John A. Redhead, Jr., Pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, Greensboro, North Carolina, and Chaiman of
the Montreat Committee in North Carolina Synod:
Dear Friend:
This is a word about Montreat. Our leaders there are workin,g
hard to prepare that institution to render a larger service to the
Church. They deserve what help we ministers can give.
Montreat is worth three million dollars in property value and
cares for 25,000 visitors annually. Yet in spite of those impressive
figures there were 7,851 persons who wanted to attend the conferences
there last summer and could not, because there was no room for them.
The Assembly and the Synod have taken steps to improve that situa
tion by authorizing completion of the new “Conference Building.’’
There are three things you can do to help. First, note that Mon
treat Day comes on May 22nd this year. Second, read Rupert Mc
Gregor’s letter and the Brochure you have received and tell your
people the Montreat Story that day. Third, announce that the offer
ing received will go to Montreat and ask them to do what they think
is right. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) John A. Redhead, Jr.
Montreats’s officers and trustees are confident that when the Church
is fully acquainted with the needs the necessary funds can be raised.
All gifts from the special offering on Montreat Day will go toward the
completion of the new building.

To the casual observer or to the
average college girl, preparing
meals and arranging flowers seem
simple tasks. They don’t realize
the work which has to be done be

breakfast, nor do they consider
that there are dishes to wash af

Despite troubles, the “Practice

students and faculty members.
When complimented on their
work, the three merely smile ^ an
