CHARLES SWEET VALLEY GR 17-2211 H. LONG Mormon Group Becomes Branch Eldon Quinn Joins Elder John J]. Wirth Changes have been made in the set-up of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in this area. What was formerly known as a Group, meeting at Shavertown YMCA Sunday mornings at 10 for a combined church school and wor- ship service, is now known as a Branch. Membership is growing slowly but steadily, now reaching forty. Ralph Lane of Tunkhannock is president of the Branch. A new elder has joined Elder John J. Wirth in this area, replac- ing Elder Joseph Bankhead who has gone back to Brigham Young Uni- versity ‘to complete his education after two years in the mission field. Elder Bankhead left November 9. Elder Eldon Quinn arrived the day that Bankhead left. Elder Quinn, from Las Vegas, Nevada, has finished one year at Idaho State College, where he will return two years from now after completing his tour of duty as a missionary. . He is majoring in speech therapy, and expects to make it his life work, starting first in the schools, then working up to a clinic of his own. Former Group Leader Kenneth Stacy, who was in the radar serv- ice at Red Rock, has been trans- ferred to a similar service in the State of Wyoming, where he will presumably continue his work as a Group Leader.

This is a remarkable achievement for a small congregation. During the past year, land was purchased for building a parsonage. At the same time, work was started on a new basement to house the Sunday School and give better space for youth meetings. Many gifts of work and material went into both projects. Donated labor brought to a successful conclu- | sion a good workmanlike job, com- pleted in time ‘to permit moving of the pastor's family from Demunds to Harveys Lake before deep winter closes in. Grading has been postponed until spring. Work on the Sunday School room, not yet completed, will be speedily carried forward. The new parsonage is a ranch- style six-room home with baseboard radiation. There is an attached gar- age. Land was purchased from Ad- irene Kocher. : Jasper Kocher was prime mover in the building. Assisting him were George ‘Searfoss, Carl Montross, El- wood Wormer, and Harry Meade, of Laketon, and electrician Frank O'Dell, Shavertown. Milo Oney did the painting. Since Rev. and Mrs, Clement ‘moved here less than two years ago, the congregation has doubled in size. Last Sunday, in spite of bad weath- er, 114 attended Sunday School. Episcopal Churchwomen Prince of Peace Churchwomen will stage their Christmas party Tuesday evening at 8 in the Parish Hall, Mrs. Jack Stanley presiding. Members are asked to bring $1 gifts for exchange, and in addition, a funny gift apiece. Joseph J. Ransom Dies At Mercy Joseph J.
