Flames, fed by fish oil within the buildings, destroyed a two-block long wooden fish cannery at Benecia,
Calif., causing an estimated $300,000 loss. With risin g tide, a fireboat from nearby Benecia Arsenal was
able to approach the flames to pump salt water on to prevent spread of the fire, but then discovered the
fire was too far out of control for ilremen to risk using the city's water supply, depleted by the drought
. Pan-American
Conference Faces
Important Issues
BOGOTA, Colombia, March 30.
(PI Top diplomats of 21 Pan
American nations convene here
today for what may prove to be
the most Important conference In
history of the Western hemis
phere. President Mariano Perez of Co
lombia will open the ninth inter
national conference of American
. states with a welcoming address
this afternoon.
Three basic projects face the
delegates:
1. Moulding of the interAmerl
can system into a strong regional
bloc within the framework of
the United Nations.
2. Creation of a program of
economic aid for Latin America.
3. Enactment of a pact pro
viding for a peaceful solution of
differences between the Ameri
can republics.
Not on the agenda, but certain
to play an important role in the
discussions are the issues of Com
munism and colonialism Jn the
Western hemisphere.
Chile, Paraguay and Cuba have
expressed hope the conference
will take a stand against Com
munist infiltration in the Amer
icas. Some members have contended
it is preferable to have each na
tion settle its own Communist
problems.
Secretary of State George C.
Marshall was greeted with Com-

Church Founded
By Ex-Bartender
GLEN JEAN, W. Va. Music
chimes heard by mountain folk
for miles around sound the call
to worship in a small church lo
cated here on the site of an old
saloon with a former bartender
as its pastor.
The strange history of the lit
tle congregation in this southern
West Virginia coal mining com
munity parallels the life story of
the Rev. Charles Ash.
For years he served up drinks
in the Coney Island saloon on the
same property on which his
church now stands. He also had
a similar job in nearby Winona,
and found time for a few mining
enterprises, and for managing a
grocery store.
In 1922 his wife died, and a
short time later fire destroyed
his home. Then, he related, he
saw the "error of his ways" and
turned to the- church.
He first conducted religious
services for the 40 members of
the . Pentecostal Church of God
congregation in the old Glen Jean
school. Another . fire scattered
the membership in 1933. - .
A year later. Ash accepted an
offer to use as a church the old
Coney Island saloon, which ori
ginally was owned by his father
before he was killed in a political
argument on a Glen Jean street
in 1917. , .
First plans for the new and
present building were formulated
in the spring of 1946. The struc
ture was completed and dedi
cated last summer, with the mus
ical chimes being added a few
months later. .
Today, the church has a mem
bership of 115 and an average
Sunday School attendance of 75.
The minister's son-in-law is Sun
day School superintendnt, while
his daughter heads the Pente
costal Young People's Associa
tion. In all, Ash has 40 relatives who
are members of his church.

years. They saw one another

ding. He returned to his north
land diggings.
