TEN PAGES THESTAR cPER In This Week's issue COPY "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THIRTY-FIRST YEAR PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, 32456 THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1968 NUMBER 17 Five Accidents In Port St. Joe During New Year Week End Murder Charge Filed While the nation was patting it- self on the back for having less automobile accidents than predict- ed by national authorities during the New Year long week end, Port St. Joe and vicinity went on an accident binge with five mishaps occurring New Year's eve and New' Year's day in and around Port St. Joe. The first accident occurred at 12:10 p.m. Sunday when a 1965 se- dan driven by James H. Lancaster crossed Garrison Avenue at the Eighth Street intersection in front of a 1968 sedan driven by John Robert Smith..The two machines collided with extensive damage to both cars. No injuries were re- ported. At 4:15 p.m. the same day, the The Washington High Tigers will open their home .season Friday night with a game against Union Grove High of Marianna. The Tigers opened their season with a loss to Tallahassee Lincoln .79 to 62. George Williams, a fresh- man guard, led the scoring for Washington, 'with 21 points. Char- les Beachum added 13. The Tigers have three lettermen returning from the 1966-67 squad. They are Charles Beachum, Cecil Webb and James Anthony. Bea- chum, a junior forward, averaged about seven points a game last year. Webb, a senior guard was the second leading scorer last year with a 13.1 average. Anthony, a sophomore center, averaged 10% points a game and averaged around 16 rebounds a game. Lost through graduation were Cleveland Beachum, Donald Daw- son, Ronald Leslie and Nathan Pe- ters. The probable starting line-up Friday night will be Anthony, 6'4" sophomore at center; Beachum, 6' junior and Thomas Sims, 6'2%" on the forward post; Webb 5'8" senior and Williams or Norris Langston, 5'10" freshman on the guards. Highway Patrol, Ken Murphy, re- ported an accident on Niles Road when Fairo Lee Aman backed from his driveway into the path of an auto driven by. Ella Mary Davis, also of Oak Grove. Sheila Crowe, a passenger in the Davis auto was treated at the Municipal Hospital for nose and facial injuries and released. Approximately $100.00 damage'was inflicted to both cars. At 11:00 p.m. New Year's eve, Charles Wayne Britt, in a 1964 se- dan lost control of his car making a turn off Highway 98 intb th'e Gulf Sands Court and Restaurant. Britt's.car skidded for 195' in front of the Court tearing up lawn fur- niture and knocking down a power pole.

Gulf County Sheriff's Of- fice filed first degree murder charges yesterday '-against John Henry Norris, age 74, 164 Ave- nue E. in the death' of Frankie Lee Harris, 45, wh9 died of gun- shot wounds last Wednesday night at about 9:45 p.m. Norris was scheduled to be'ar- raigned yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to Sheriff's Investigator Wayne White.: , H arris was killed in Norris' ho me. Harris' death had been former- ly ruled death by self-inflicted gunshot wounds by a coroner's jury. He had been shot in the left shoulder by a 38 caliber .pis- tol and the bullet had ricocheted and came' out below the right shoulder, apparently killing him instantly.'. Witnesses told the coroner's jury that Harris had been drink- ing earlier and had threatened to "kill someone before the evening was over".' Port St. Joe Patrolman James McGee arrested Norris Monday night. T u e-s day, Investigator White moved him to the Gulf County jail and began investiga- tion of the case which led to the filing of murder charges yester- day. v The death was investigated at the time of the happening by Deputy Sheriff H. T. Dean and city patrolman Janies McGee. County Judge Sam, P. Hus- band ordered the coroner's in- quest Wednesday night. Stone Shows Slides To Rotary Clul Silas R. Stone, who recently took a trip to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, showed a program of colored slides he took on the trip to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday at noon. In addition to slides of the three islands, Stone also had several pic- tures of Hong Kong. Stone and his wife madeAthe trip with a group of agriculture people and Secretary of Agriculture Doyle Conner. Guests of the club were Gene Austin and Gerv Reesor of Apala- chicola, "Swede" Benson of St. Petersburg and Bob Vervaeki of Ohio. Gulf County Sheriff's Deputies H. T. Dean, ternoon.

One of the escapees said he thought he was in Michigan when he saw the Michigan Chemical Corporation sign upon arriving in Port St. Joe. George Lewis Santiago Figue- roa and Rafael Crespo, both of New York and Harold Iuber of ,Hawaii, escaped from ACI late Thursday evening of last week. They ,caught an Apalachicola Northern freight train out of Chattahoochee at 10:10 p.m. Thursday night and arrived in Port St. Joe at 2:40 a.m., Fri- -day -morning. The three laid low after mak- ing their way to Highway 71, un- til about 11:40 when they went in the Woodland Division office of St. Joe Paper Company, used by Clyde A. (Skinny) Fite on Highway 71. One of the escapees had a length of pipe and another pulled a knife on Fite., They took the keys to his pick-up and his pocket knife. They then tied Fite up with wire and rags inside a photographic darkroom in the building, and then took off with Fite's truck. Fite said he was concerned and cooperated fully with the trio since either his wife or daughter was due by his office any min- ute and he wanted the three on their way by the time they ar- rived. As soon as the three had left, Fite reached down and untied his feet and ran outside where he hailed down an auto occupied by Tommy Dickson and Freddy Anderson, two local teen-age boys. They untied Fite and went to the Police Station and report- ed the incident to Chief of Po- lice H. W. Griffin. Griffin quickly set up a road block operation for all highways from 'the city and went to pick up Fite. Griffin and Fite then went to the intersection of SR 382 (Industrial Road) and High- way 98. Just as they arrived at the intersection, so did the es- capees. They had been on their way to freedom barely 10 min- utes before they were caught. Griffin said he "had a hunch" they would take the first turn they came to when they left Fite's office headed for Wewa- hitchka. Deputy Sheriff H. T. Dean and Investigator Wayne White took the three to the Gulf County jail Friday afternoon to await trans- fer back to ACI.

Washington Hi Tigers Open Home Season Friday Night PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1968 Editorials No Room For Negotiations We see by the papers where the teachers of Florida have again stated, in certain terms, just what they will do if certain conditions are not met by the State of Florida by a certain time. And so, we are beginning a second round of the crisis we had back in the fall ... a crisis that even the leaders of the Floi-da Education Association said was wrong and put the teachers in a position of not being able to bargain. We were shocked when we read that for the second time, the FEA had voted to put forth an inflexible line of position and conditions .. a line that places the teachers in an awkward position and the Legislature of the State of Florida in a position they will not tolerate. If things in -the State of Florida are to work out for the school system in a manner that will keep the schools running, there is no need for the Legislature to meet. The State must just go ahead and implement the findings of the Committee on Quality Education or at least they should. They should because it is senseless to call out the Legislature if our only desire is to keep the schools open. The FEA has already told us this. "Either accept the rec- commendations of the Committee or we close the schools". Why meet, and spend the money for a session when only one decision will appease the FEA? This is bargaining? This-is government by compromise, and by seeking the will of the people? This is the American way? No sir. We firmly believe that the hard attitude of the FEA _during the last session of the Legislature had as much as anything to do with the failure of a better education pro- gram to make the scene. You just don't push Americans. You may lead them, but you don't push them. And Flori- dians are Americans. They will not be pushed. We think the FEA is once again placing the teachers in a position which will embarras them; a position which will ultimately detract rather than add to their bargain- ing position.- Had the FEA came out publicly and endorsed the pro- gram as outlined by the Committee on Quality Education, we think their position would be far more effective, rather than their present avowed position of billigerance. One thing's for sure, the Legislature will not, in all probability, accept the school program as presented. They are bound to make some changes. In all probability, the -changes will be better for Florida and the school system, rather than water it down. But, the FEA is committed to walk out if the program is not adopted as is. THE "TWICE AS" GAME Back in 1960, when Senator Eugene McCarthy first , fancied himself a national political figure, his chief rivals for the Democratic nomination were John F. Kennedy, Hu- bert Humphrey and Stuart Symington. In the Senate cloakroom it has been recalled that Mc- Carthy said in 1960 that he was twice as Catholic as Jack Kennedy, twice as liberal as Hubert Humphrey and twice as bright as Stuart Symington. That didn't make him very many friends in the Senate, and now the quote has been recalled by his colleagues who have made a game of adding to the list. Many of the additions are unprintable, it must be said, but here are a few of the "twice as" attributes ascribed to Senator McCarthy by his fellow Senators. He is, they say: Twice as long-winded as Senator Fulbright. Twice as arrogant as Dr. Spock. Twice as confused as Clifford Case. 1A T0 Late 1 by RUSSE Among my many Christmas cards I treasure one received from my good friend Jim Stevens and his lovely wife Edith.

He remarked: "Still, even with all those qualities, he is twice as popular as Bobby Kennedy." MORTAR of AMERICA The mortar with which America has been built is loyalty. Loyalty is more than a matter of faithful serv- ing; it is an element of personal integrity, a revelation of character. By examining his capacity for loyalty you can take the true measure of a man. Elbert Hubbard once wrote: "If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him; speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember-an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, danmi to your heart's content. But as long as you are a part of the in- stitution don't condemn it. If you do, the first high wind that comes along will blow you away, and probably you will never know why.", -The Little Gazette There is a nice little story we might do well to remem- ber when we are tempted to shirk our civic duties. It is the one about the General in World War II who heaped lavish praise upon the driver of his jeep, a buck private who was driving carefully over thickly mined roads. "Well, General," said the private, "I look at it this way, I'm in this jeep, too." Stevenson spent a week end in Connecticut with his old friends, Senator and Mrs. William Ben- ton. With him he had a copy of a message entitled Desiderata with a notation that the original was 'Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore, dated 1692.' He read this aloud and indicated that he was considering its use as his Christmas card this year. The records of Saint Paul's do not reveal how the passage came to be connected with the church nor who the author was. It is an- other expression of the person- ality of a man who dedicated his life to the cause of peace." The reverse side of the card reads: "DESIDERATA" and its message follows: "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in si- lence. As far as possible with- out surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and lis- ten to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their sto- ry. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare your- self with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser per- sons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the chang- ing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and every- where life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, g r a c e fully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with your- self. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it Roads Invaded By Kids Learning To Ride Bikes TALLAHASSEE-With road- ways being invaded with many new bicycle and tricycle riders the Florida Highway Patrol re- minded parents this week that youngsters need careful instruc- tions on safe riding habits along with learning the skills of riding. Department of Public Safety Director, Colonel H. N. Kirkman, said, "Now that you have made your youngster happy with that shiny new cycle be sure that you give him a more important gift-- the gift of knowledge about how to ride safely." Bicycle riders are required to obey the same traffic signs and rules as cars insofar as they may apply. The Patrol listed these remind- ers: Keep at least one hand on the handlebars; never carry pas- sengers; ride on the right side of seat; ride on the right side of the street and close to the curb; do not ride more than two side by side; and never hitch rides. "Your child's fight for life may depend upon how well he knows and obeys traffic safety rules, and remember he is operating in the same arena with cars, trucks and buses," Kirkman said. should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your la- bors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, .drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be care- ful. Strive to be happy." Whoever the author may have been, his message to mankind is even more potent today than when he wrote it and is worthy of heed by all who read. May this contribution help you through another year during which my wish is happiness and hope for you and yours. The world turns and turning, leads us onward and upward in accordance with God's plan. CLASSIFIED ADSI Midget Investments That Yield Giant Returnsl Etaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY ~'4 'r~"' ~ (m~% a d6q~ --'a P Well, here we are back on the job again after a week and a half vacation. We got out of the hospital Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. and came to work, but had to knock it off and go home about 2:00 p.m. But Friday, we came back a second time. We took a jaunt up the street to see John Blount Friday morning. He had the same operation we did and was out two weeks. We had to do a little bragging since we it had been only eight days since we had been to work. But, John was out and we couldn't make it back the second time. B. A. Collier, Ray, Frenchie and Willie did a pretty good job last week in getting the paper out by themselves. They prov- ed one thing there is no sense in us missing our vacation year after year we can go ahead and take it and let them get the paper out. Last Wednesday night, Mrs. McClamma and Mrs. Booth, out at the hospital got their hands on a paper somehow or other, and came into my room about 10:00 p.m. with a hypodermic needle about eight inches long and about an inch and a half thick. "We're going to show you just how good we are at giving shots", they said. We got out of that one by the skin of our teeth. You do a lot of reading in the hospital. We read of two sta. tistics that proved to be very interesting. Did you know that there were 9,006 Americans killed in Vietnam last year? That's a lot isn't it. But, we shouldn't be surprised at the number, since this figure is being used' daily to explain why we should get out of Vietnam Protecting the possible future of the South Pacific nations from encroaching Communism just isn't worth the Amer. ican lives it is costing. But, on the other hand, Americans killed 53,000 on the high- ways last year. And, while this statistic stares us in the face, you can stir all kinds of righteous indignation if someone is hauled up in court for speeding, driving drunk or breaking some other traffic code designed for the protection of precious life. On the one hand, we can shudder at expending lives to main- tain the most precious thing of all ... freedom; but we can throw away lives at the rate of five times as fast and puff up to the exploding point with indignation at anything designed to save a few more of these valuable lives. We are especially indig. nant at any law which- deters us from-showing off the blinding speed we paid for in our'autp the quickness of taking a curve our new wide-track tires allows us or when we exercise our "individual rights" to drive off down the highway, pie-eyed, and a threat to everyone else around us. It just doesn't make sense. Our sense of values is warped. * We applaud Chief Walter Hendley of Miami. We think he has the right idea in threatening all acts of violence against the law with the warning that such threats will be met by an effective deterrent shotguns and dogs. If human beings are, going to ' .act like animals, then they must be dealt with as animals. If more police officers throughout the nation would assume this "get tough" attitude with those who live to disturb the peace and advocate over- throw of local authority, America would once again become the "land of the brave" rather than the "land of the afraid". h r CAN'T BE LOST!

Florida First National Bank MEMBER: Florida National Group of Banks MEMBER: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation I THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1968 PAGE THREE To Marry or Not Is :rl's Problem In March of Dimes Research Project Even in today's sophisti- cated society, many 13-year- old girls dream of the knight on a white charger who will sweep them off to a fairy-tale wedding in a land where "they lived hap- pily ever after."- But for some, among them Roxanne Myrick of Oregon City, Ore., the plot is more complicated. Roxanne, an exceptionally pretty and bright teenager, is *almost certainly the carrier of an abnormal gene, which is one of the units of inheritance that govern all our traits. Because of this faulty gene, in a few years she will face critical de- cisions. Those decisions will revolve around whether (1) to marry and risk having children with defects (2) to marry and not have children (3) to marry arid adopt children or (4) to remain single. Roxanne is one of a family of six who are part of a con- tinuing research project under way at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center at the University of Oregon Medical School, Portland. The others involved are her parents, Dan and Bonita Myrick, her brothers, Rory, 7, and Roberti 5, both of whom are mentally deficient, and a sister, Rhonda, 11, also mentally damaged and living in a state institution. Roxanne's father explains something of the problem from the viewpoint of a perplexed parent. " "My wife and I have been told that we may have passed on to Roxanne a legacy that might cause her to give. birth to retarded children, as my wife 'and I have. The. geneti- cists tell us that the chances- are 2 in 3 that she has inherited a faulty gene. If she marries a man with the same faulty gene" --and the chances of that are remote but not astronomical- each time she. has a child the odds will.be 1 in 4 that her ;liby will be retarded, like her, brothers and sister." At age 13 Roxanne does not spend a great deal of time thinking about marriage. But how .much does this merry- eyed child know of her prob- able genetic inheritance? "Roxanne already knows that she is almost unquestion- ROXANNE MYRICK, 13, supervises play of her two mentally damaged brothers who, with all the other members of this Oregon family, are key figures in a March of Dimes project. ably the carrier of some un- known recessive gene,, just as her parents are," her mother explains. "The child certainly could not keep from asking us questions. For instance, she knows that Rory and Robert don't act like other small boys. And, as with all of us. in the family, .she has 'given, blood samples many times 'at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center in Portland. "When the time comes for marriage, we would suggest to Roxanne that, she ask her fiance to work up as complete a family tree as possible," the mother says. "'The Idea would be to check out whether, in his background, there was any history of some metabolic disease like the one affecting our family." The child's mother gives the impression that, if she were in Roxanne's situation a few years hence, she would favor adop- tirig children. - "I love all my children very much. But I wouldn't take a chance of having any more. We have two adopted boys to whom Roxanne is devoted. If it is definitely proven that there is little likelihood of her chil- dren being normal, then adop- tion should come easily to her -if her husband would accept not having their own." Roxanne was asked what she would do if her future fi- ance.- showed reluctance at marrying into her family. "What would I do?" the young lady echoes, blue eyes flashing. "If he wouldn't ac- cept my two little brothers and my sister, I'd tell him to get lost."" BEL LINGER It opens the door to better living... 3 out of 4 of the new homes we serve are all-electric.

Service University of Florida Don't toss out that pot of holiday poinsettia until the last leaf drops and the final red bract droops atop a spaghetti-like stem. Like a red-headed maiden with- out make-up the plant can be revit- alized into a marvel of beauty with proper treatment. The plant will show brilliant color next winter if you follow these tips from Dr. E.- W. McElwee, Agricultural Extension Service hor- ticulturist. First, store the pot, plant and all, in an out-of-the-way place and forget about it until about the mid- dle ,of March. This careless treatment is in- tended to hibernate the plant dur- ing the frosty days while the shriveling top feeds the sleeping roots. Don't water the dormant plant. But,so it won't dry'out too much, lay the potted plant on its side in a cool dry place. Under the back porch is an ideal place. If you live on a concrete slab,, try storing the sleeping plant in that shady cor- ner of the carport. When spring comes, tenderly a- wake the plant by sloughing off the dead top and by placing the roots in a new bed of rich soil. You can grow the new plant in last .sea-. son's pot, but the poinsettia will be happier if you set it in the soil where it can flex its roots better than in the confines of a pot. If you did not get a gift of pion- settias for Christmas, it is. easy to establish planting of the holiday ornamental by .purchasing potted stock from a local nurseryman. However, some green thumb op- erators feel that- they have better luck if they sneak hardwood cut- tings from a neighbor's yard fol- lowing the flowering season. You can root hardwood poinset- tia stalks by punching holes in the desired location, inserting three quarters of each of the woody cut- tings into the soil and pressing the soil firmly around the base. Be sure to keep the soil moist. Mulch- ing around the cuttings will help you maintain moisture, soil tem- perature and weed-free conditions for rooting and growth. If you prefer to propagate by softwood cuttings, put off the pro- ject until around June. Remem- ber, it's important to keep humid- ity high around the cuttings dur- ing the rooting process. There are a number of poinset- tias that will grow out of doors. If you desire red-bracted, propagate such plants as fireball, Indianapolis Red, Albert Ecke, oak leaf or Mrs. Paul Ecke. For color combination mingle the red planting with Ecke white or a pink variety. Poinsettias will grow on a wide range of soils, including sand, muck, marl, rocky soil and clay. In spite of the wide adaptability, the plants will present you a better show of color if you take proper care of them., I Fertilizer application is import- ant. Apply about 11 pounds of a good garden fertilizer per 100 square feet of plant space in early spring, again in June and perhaps in mid-summer if there are heavy rains. Pruning is the secret of a canopy of color next Christmas. As each sprout reaches 12 inches long, pinch it back to six inches. Continue this cruel treatment to all sprouts until the middle of Septem- ber. Then stop to give the plant tips a chance to set their bracts of color petals. Poinsettias show their color ac- cording to day length and temper- ature. A plant near a lighted win- dow or a street light often refuses: to color up like a neighboring plant in a nearby darker corner. 19 The Tattler R. GLENN BOYLES Editor . Associate Editors YOU-ALL .: .

Here* s wiinng form of Cees Verkerk of Holland, one of the world's fastest skaters. GRENOBLE, FRANCE Skaters practice on what may be the world's fastest ice at this French Alpine town, site of the February Win ter Olympics. A special mineral-free ice is being used, produced by new Culligan water conditioning equip- ment. Deionized water, normally used for industrial purposes, such as washing of electronic components, contains less than 2 parts per million of dissolved minerals. The potential importance of low solids ice was first noticed by the Russians whose skating times were faster just after a rain. The simple scientific explanation is that as hard water freezes its minerals separate, making ice uneven in texture and hard- ness and causing the skaters' blades to become dull.

BULLION FRINGED CHENILLE SPREAD reg $366 The Church of the Nazarene in 1967 had notable gains in member- ship, stewardship and in Sunday School enrollment. Also in 1967, participation in the Vietnam war made its sharpest impact on the de- nomination, it. was reported this week at church world offices in Kansas City, Mo. World membership climbed to a total of 453,187 persons a net gain of 20,470 over a year ago. Sun- day school enrollment increased to 983,525-a gain of 57,000 over 1966. A Per Capita Mark Per capital giving was a record $190.13-an increase of $10.43 above the previous peak of $179.70 in 1966. Giving for all purposes reached $69,792,571-an increase of $4,897,- 102 over 1966. Mirroring the war impact, the names of seven Nazarenes killed in Vietnam were added to the War Memorial plaque in 1967. This made a total of 16 gold stars on the Florida Economy Good Reports C of C The principal indicators of Flor- ida's economy stand well above 1966 as the year-end approaches and provide a good running-start into 1968, the Florida State Cham- ber of Commerce reported in 1967's final issue of its Weekly Business Review. "Improvement in Income and a gain in jobs are especially indica- tive of future growth. Although annual totals for 1967 aren ota in, enopgh data are available to in- dicate trend levels. "Personal income of Floridians is running 11 per'cent-over 1966. The index for the number of per- sons on wage and salary payrolls (excluding farm workers) stood at 187 in October, the latest available data. This. compares with 181 in Oc- tober 1966. Manufacturing employ- ment shared this gain in a five- point advance in index and payrolls of manufacturing plants well over 1968. "Consumer spending this year is running 7 per cent thead of last year. The sale of farm products is up 4 per cent and gasoline gallon- age sales have gained 5 per cent. "Over-all business volume is up 9 per cent as measured by bank debits, that is, total checks written. Debit levels in the state's larger cities-are all up and ranzgs from 3 to 4 per cent over 1966. "It is reassuring to note the num- ber of incorporations of new bus inesses in Florida is at last moving ahead of 1966 after many months of decline. "Still a problem, although spot ty throughout the state, is the con struction industry and sales related to the industry. "Most of the gains this year were slightly below last year's increases Too, they are gross and doubtless will be shaved by the cost-profil squeeze and by increased taxes." French Style Peas The French are noted for .their petits pois (small peas) cooked with a pinch of sugar to bring out the garden fresh flavor of the peas and with only the water that clings to a few lettuce leaves. An American adaptation of the French tech- nique is to cook peas, (fresh or frozen) in the barest amount of water and with the addition of about two teaspoons of light corn syrup to a pound of peas shelled. Season with salt and margarine. Add a pinch of tar- ragon or chervil, if desired. 60 ATTHE EXITS!.

More than 8,000 Na- zarene young men were in the Armed Forces in 1967. It appeared likely that the de- nomination would achieve its goal of one million persons enrolled in Sunday school by the 17th quad- rennial General Assembly to be held in June, 1968, at Kansas City, Mo. The annual statistical report by Dr. B. Edgar Johnson, general sec- retary, showed a domestic net gain of 7,532 members, with a gain of 12,938 members overseas, for the total world membership gain of 20,470. The Nazarenes had a net gain of 32 churches which brought the de- nomination's total to 4,958. The stewardship gain very like- ly assures the Nazarene church of remaining in first place in the na- tion in per capital giving among all denominations with 100,000 or more members.
