YOUNGSTERS REALLY LIKED THIS
Suiem Uownlown Merchants Association knew today that one
of the best things they have done this Christmas season was
the candy truck that cruised the streets Monday night, dis
tributing confections to the kiddies. Besides the youngsters
who crowded about the truck there were scores of others in
cars with their parents who drove along the truck while the
candy was passed vehicle to-vehiclc, and it worked out with
out interference with traffic. Bob Binford was Santa Claus
and the truck was driven by Lee Coleman, chairman of the
candy truck committee.

building for St. Mark's Lutheran
church to be located on a quarter
block of land at the southwest
corner of Marion and North Win
ter streets, is expected to get un
der way next spring, reports Rev.

work with a local architect, said
the minister.
The present church plant, locat

and it is probable a temporary
location will have to be located
