POSS1I11.K RESULTS
STARTS DEC. 4; LASTS 6 WEEKS
Unanimous Vote of 400 People at
Baptist Church Sunday
Favored Move
The unanimous vote of 400 peo
ple who had gathered at the Baptist
church last Sunday morning, asking
Dr. Elwood P. Lyon to return to
Prlnevllle for a union meeting was
successful in securing the promise
ot the famous evangelist for a date.
Aa a result of this action, a com
mittee of men representing the Bap
tist, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches met at the Methodist
church Tuesday evening and decided
upon a six weeks' meeting starting
on December 4, and continuing un
til about the middle of January, the
exact date to be decided later.
The good feeling toward .the
evangelist since his meeting here
last spring seems to warrant this
step by the people of the commun
ity, and they will set to 'work at
once to perfect organizations and
have the community in readiness
for the opening day of the meetings.

more than two thousand people at
the fair Saturday afternoon.
He said that the real development
of the Prineville country is at hand,
and predicts a very bright future
for the community and the town as
well.
"The community should have no
difficulty in securing a sugar beet
factory," he said, "sunshine is sugar
and the many bright 'days you have
here, the productive soil and the
water you will have under the
Ochoco Project and .1 other places
should grow for you a high grade
crop of sugar beets."
Following his remarks concerning
the community, to which he has
been a frequent visitor for years,
and the fair, the governor delivered
a patriotic address, indorsing the
administration, and urging everyone
to do his part in the war.
He left Saturday evening for
Portland and Salem.
