Rev. Walter Fiscus
Church Venture
Calls Fiscus
Rev. Walter Fiscus, former Sa
lem and Eugene resident, who
has often filled the pulpit of
both First Christian and Court
Street Christian churches here,
has become co-pastor of Mount
""-non Place Methodist church
in Baltimore, Md., in a move that
i- CdUtu ' an adventure in inter
denominational ministry."
Rev. Mr. Fiscus is married to
the former Rosalind Hull,
daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. O. J. Hull of Salem.
Announcement of his selection
for the Baltimore position was
made by Rev. Albert E. Day,
pastor of the church. He said
that Fiscus would not be asked
to change his denominational
allegiance. He has studied ex
tensively in this country and in
the British Isles. He is a native
" ' -'"''-inr. Olda. He will take
up his new work November 15.
. days where there is
so much discussion of church
union," Dr. Day said, "There are
steps in fellowship that may well
be taken by individual churches,
advances that may open other
ways of cooperation between
representatives of various deno
minations before organic unity
between denominations is reach
ed.
'The action taken at Mount
Vernon Place church is not with
out precedent in the religious
field, but I believe it is new in
Methodism, at least in the Balti
more conference."
Sailor's Story
Torn in Shreds
New York, Oct. 12 U.R Chief
Pharmacist Mate James Strat-
ton faced stormy weather at
home today explaining to his
wife that the $32,000 he said
he saved from his navy pay
really amounted to only $500.
Stratton startled police yes
terday when he said a knife-
wielding robber lifted his hoard
of cash in a subway holdup.
Tears rolled down his face as
he pointed to a rip in his shirt,
made he said, by the point of
the robber's weapon.
His wife, Amelia, even came
to the station house to console
the sorrowful veteran of 32
years in the service.
Theen detectives scuttled the
whole story. Stratton, 49,
never had a life savings of $32,-
000 as his wife believed since
their marriage six years ago.
Except for the $500, which he
still had, any other money he
had saved had been gambled
away on horses and spent "here
and there. '
Faced with his wife's request
for new clothes, a vacation trip
and other items beyond his
means, Stratton concocted the
robbery episode. Police decided
his story was false when he
mentioned he had his cash in
"$200 bills."
Sympathetic officers prefer
red no charges. They sent the
chief home to navigate his way
out the best he could.
