Trinity Chapel At Haw Creek Nears Completion Early this spring the members of Trinity Episcopal Chapel in Haw Creek decided that they not only needed a building for Sunday School and parties and fairs, but that if they all worked hard they could have one. The congregation includes a contractor and carpen ters and electricians besides sev eral men who can do a good job on almost anything. By careful calculation about materials, it was possible to keep costs low, especi ally as most of the labor was do nated. Weather held back the laying of the concrete floor for three weekends in June but this month has seen substantial progress. There are floor and roof, and the outside walls will be finished on Saturday, as there was not enough time to complete them this week. Inside furnishings and window frames remain to be installed. But the building is near enough completion that a fair was held there on Wednesday evening. Father Rhys claims to be learn ing the building trade from the ground.
