Mr. Moore was then called to- the front and after Mr. Sheppard read the address, Mr. C. Woodburn on behalf of the congre­ gations presented Mr. Moore with a purse of money. Mr. Moore, though taken by surprise made a very feel­ ing reply, thanking them for their kind remembrance and the apprecia­ tion they had always shown him dur­ ing the years spent with them. A social hour was spent and lunch was served. The meeting closed by sing­ ing “God be with us till we meet again”. Mr. D. Sheppard was in the meeting and with his caused much laughter, several for shortc^peeches Following is the address: Tuesday, June 28, 193 8 Dear Mr. Moore: It is with deep regret that we have gathered here this evening to bid you farewell and to send with you our very best wishes for your success and happiness in a new field of service. We have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited a great deal by your four years in our midst. In our Young Peoples’ Group, you have proved yourself one of the crowd, and a leader in the throng. You were al­ ways present at the meetings of our various organizations, giving words of cheer and we shall miss your friendly face with us. However as you yourself have quoted “The best of friends must part.” We are somewhat consoled by this old pro­ verb. With this gift we send with you a token of the esteem which the mem­ bers of Greenway United Church feel for you. We hope you will al­ ways remember ufi, and that future date you may visit again. We are sure that what is is the gain of our London fellow­ workers. With this in mind we bid you good-bye, good-luck and may the “Grace of God” go with you. Signed on behalf of the congrega­ tion.

Mr. Bill Davis, of town, has re­ ceived from Mr, Gerald Hurd on, a former resident of Exeter, a letter which should prove of interest to our many readers. Mr, Hurdon with his wife and two daughters Betty and Dorothy have been through the Southern troopers, . leadin, don recently purchased a Ranch" and Trailer Court Pheonix, Arizona. His letter in part is as follows: Enroute LETTER BOX travelling all .States a magician playing the g part of the show. Mr. Hur- recently purchased a “Dude and Trailer Court near as Willow Springs California Dear Bill,— Over a one-way cut high in a rocky 70 miles along the Trinity River, we’ve been tooling our way to reach this forsaken little placer mining community where it is necessary to study the native at close range in order to determine the sex, and where to-night we play to a motley assortment of grizzled veterans of ■ the hills in a little rustic redwood show house with its usual bar and gambling parlor, nestled high above and overlooking the turbulent wa­ ters of this gold colored, rock-bound river. If the residents can regain, tem­ porarily at least, a certain amount of sobriety after last night’s dance and soiree, we may draw a fair crowd, but after viewing the culture of the hobnail-booted and overalled mob really tearing loose and whoop­ ing it up as they strew the dance floor with beer and liquor bottles, I have grave -doubts that they’ll come out of a coma for days to come. It’s been five years since a show of any sort has passed by this way and the populace bunch of school prospects—. We iliar place up in Silver City and had seats for 200 but had to scout the neighborhood for boxes and planks to partially seat a crowd that made it necessary for us to show again the following­ night-—the peculiar pnase of the situation being that there doesn’t seem to be a half dozen families in the surrounding community—. They just seem to spring up from the mesquite and from behind trees and bring forth Granny and file “young- uns” who, incidentally, appear to have been rammed into whatever rags happen to have remained hang­ ing behind the kitchen door and they come trailing in, on root, horseback, or crowded into a ramshackle jalope to see these peculiar people known as “actor folk.” On the way down here we passed Weaverville where the movie “Gold is Where You Find It” was made and noted that much of the natural rugged beauty of mountains was lost ( in making the set for the picture, which only gives a mere glimpse here and there of a really grand and picturesque countryside with its im­ mense redwoods and eucalyptus trees to scent the air. The next hop we make will be up into Oregon, where we strike inland to cover Idaho and Utah on our swing back into Arizona—. It’s been a grand trip but somehow or other I’ll be glad to park the body in a home that doesn’t have to be packed each morning for a 100 mile trip—I’ve had enough of the noma­ dic life for a while at least and want to get back to our xiude Ranch to start work on it, to dress it up a bit for the winter season—you know, sort of clean out the rattlesnakes, tarantulas and gila monsters off the back steps and the ards out of the tion centipedes, At present we on where to put where t6 plant the palm and smoke tre’es and remodel and repaint the buildings, not to mention new road­ ways, cactus gardens and other beau­ tifying efforts to make it present­ able to the trade—-and believe me there is plenty to do to it. If you’ve written me through the address at San Francisco 'I’ll pro­ bably get the letter at our next mailing address, which will be Gen­ eral Delivery, Klamath Falls, Oregon •—this address will be good for two weeks, from present date (June 24) —anyway you owe me a letter now and living out here you’ve no idea how refreshing a letter from home ■is. mountain trail, canyon wall, for is as excited as a children over the played to a sim- New Mexico near gophers and liz- cellar, not to men- etc are all full of plans the swimming pool, Best regards to all HARPLEY Mr. Torcli and Mrs. Hugh Love visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle Taylor.
