soll.
Mr. Gibson has been very ac-
tive in fraternal organizations
but said he had never seen any-
thing that equalled the organi-
zation of the sector project. Al-
though undertaking the chair-
manship in a more er less skep-
tical attitude he was completely
"sold" on the plan and now
travels from coast- to coast pro-
moting the .sector project.
Mr. Frank Ruby accompanied
Mr. Gibson and spoke briefly.
Rev. Strome outlined the de-
tails and organization ef the plan.
The project not only benefit the
church --by increased ',interest,
growth it memberthie and in
finances, it discovers people who
havemreal gifts of leadership he

dertake' this sector plan and it

they could do better elsewhere.

Test Of Police Record

is getting results.
Crowds at the resort have
been as big as ever so far —
