Friday, June 21, 1935. THE PILOT. Southern I*ines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Seven Murdoch McLeod’s Church in Nashville Votes New Edifice CCC Men Rebuild Old Fee Dee Road Anniversary of His Pastorate iMarked by Unanimous De cision to Raise $100,000 In New Post Slate May Construct Hridges on Route from Union Church Here The Week in Aberdeen One recent Sunday morning, just a I year after the arrival of their new pastor, the congregation of the j Moore Memorial Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tenneasee, voted unan imously to erect a new church edifice, to raise $100,000 in cash “in one month” for the first unit of the building which eventually may cost a quarter of a million dollars. This news would not be of local in terest except for one thing. The pa.s- tor of the church is the Rev. Murdoch M. McLeod, who a little over a year ago left the pulpit of the Pinehurst Community Church to minister to the people of Nashville through the 61- year old Moore Memorial Church. That Murdoch, as the people of the Sandhills called him- -he was born and bred in this community — has “made good” in his new charge is ev idenced by the vote of his congrega tion. Says an editorial in The Nash ville Tennessean: “The decision of the congregation came within one month after Mr. McLeod’s first anniversary as pastor of the chiit'ch. The year has been one of healthy growth and one in which the church accumulated a neat surplus after all current bills were met. Further strength is showTi in the decision to start their new building on a pay-£Ls-you-go-plan. “Archltw-tural Trea.sure” “The project promises to be one of Nashville’s architectural treasures and to provide a place of worship in a section which now has lacked one of any denomination. (The church is moving from the heart of town into a residential area.) And since the project is of considerable size and may get imder way this fall, it will provide work for a large number of men while the unemployment prob lem is still serious.” [ Mrs. Cliff and children, Misses Mar jorie and Lawrence, are leaving Aber- I deen this week to make their future Mr, and Mrs. J.

The commission will ask for a PWA grant of $450,000, to add to $.'>50,000 of State funds, for $1,000,000 to build 1,100 new school busses. In the last two years, 2,2.50 new busses have been added, and con tract has been let for 200 new ones. If the PW^A grant goes through, the bus supply will be in good shape.
