Miles Mark Fisher, pas tor of White Rock Baptist, will be the speaker at the program at four o’clock. Also, on Sunday, at tha regu lar 11 o'clock worship hour, Dr. M. C. Allen, noted Virginia educator, will address a Man's Day program. Mount Vernon’s new building consists of . two .ynits, located on the north side of the main church buildiftg. One is a three story structure which houses the relir gious education department. The other is a chapel, designed along modern architectural lines and featuritg a sharp-pitched roof. There are outside entrances from both units and connecting arch ways to the main church building. Work was begun on thf ad dition last Octobar. It is expect ed to be complatad by Nov. 1. Tho approximata cost, of tha addition is Jf156,000. M. A. Ham was the architect. A statement from church offi- ,^rs thin week said the addition Mrs. Susie Weaver of Chapel Hill was back in lead this week in the Carolina Times Beauticians Contest with Mrs. Quincey Mullen of Roanoke Rapids who tied with her last week close behind. The contest this year has been a nip and tuck affair with the six lead ing contestants still in throwing distance of each other. The contest officially closes Monday nooi^., October 31. All con testants are urged to get their re ports into the office of the Caro lina Times by that time or into the mails in time to bear a post mark of before or not later than Monday, October 31. The actual standing of the six leading con testants will be published in the Carolina Times along with the' names of the winners of the th|fe free airplane round trips. As announced last week the win ners may make the trips within 12 monttjs after the closing date of the contest. So close are the six leading contestants to each other this week that it is absolutely impossible at this time to determine who will be the winners of the three fre? airplane round trips. There were still rumors of a dark horse con testant entering the picture with a final report that will assure her of walking off with one of the three prizes. Whether this is true or not tiie cor' ad, vises all contes\ be in the running to take no chances. The winners are going to be those who endure until the end.
