GO-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY is
BEING PLANNED BY THE
LOCAL ALLIANCE.
The pastors of the various churches
in Norman are at home from vaca-
tion and held their first meeting of
the Ministerial All . nee for the new
year Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
Several Items of busiiMM were taken
up and plans for work with the stu-
dents who are coming tc the univer.
sity were discussed.
A Go-To-Church Sunday was plan-
ned for September 26. A com-
mittee on advertising was appointed.
I. H. As/man and F. M Warren are
the men to do the advertising. Wa
are sure that all people in Norman
will know what is expected of them
when this committee gets through
with its work.
New officers of the Ministerial Al-
liance were elected as follows: T. H.
Aszman, president, W. L. Broome,
vice-president, F. M. Warren, secre-
tary-treasurer. G. J. Rousseau, the
, out-going president of the Alliance,
j lias kept an eye on things this year
| nid has handled the business of the
preachers and churches in a masterly
I way.
I I H. Aszman is the senior pastor
in the city in point of service and we
j expect him to handle the affairs of
the Alliance in a way that will be sat-
isfactory to all.
F. M. Warren is the youngest
preacher in the city in point of ser-
vice but will keep the records of the
Alliance like an old hand because he
has had experience in this line of
work.
Misses Bernice and Martha Taylor
returned from Purcell Wednesday
where they visited Mr. and Mrs Chas.
Bowling and children. The Misses
Taylor will make their home this win-
ter with Mrs. J. R. Holland at 721
North Peters avenue.
The Curfew
is ringing on B. V. D's.
Of course we have customers who
wear light weight underwear the year
'round and brag about it.
But we're taking it for granted that
you are not related to September Morn
—and that you would rather have a
wee bit heavier underwear this time
of year—and brag about something
else.
We're ready now—and it's not a hit
too early—if you get up early.
