UTILITY California-Pacific MEDFORD, OREGON W SERVICE Utilities Company PHONE 2-5284 Plans are now being com pleted for the" observance here of the annual World Day of Prayer on Friday, February 25. Sponsored by Medford Council of Church Women, the program here will be one of thousands held in all parts of the world that day. It is set for 2 p.m. at First Methodist church. Mrs. Claude Sparks, presi dent, states that Mrs. Duane Bowman will take charge of the program which will have as its theme "Abide in Me" from John 15:4. The international service to be used was prepared by Miss Joregelina Lozada of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a minister of the Disciples of Christ. Each year an offering is tak en at the World Day of Prayer program, and the funds are used for interdenominational proj ects. Supported in this way are a Christian education program in 14 governmental Indian schools, a training program for American Indian Christian lead ers at Cook Training school, Phoenix, Ariz., and church and community work among Indians in industrial centers. Money also aids the low-income farm com munities and the work which the national council carries on among migrants. It also sup ports the work of the commit tee on Friendly Relations Among Foreign students which provides services to an estimat ed 3,000 students yearly. As a result of this far-reaching program the child of a mi grant laborer may play in the safety of a child care center, an American Indian, going to the city in search of work is given help in finding a home for his family and college students from overseas are guided and advised. In Oregon under the direction of the state supervisor, Miss Whitaker, the migrant ministry covers four major crop areas including the Klamath, Willa mette valley and The Dalles ter ritories. Christian education, re creation, creative arts and crafts and other phases are covered in this program. It is ' stressed that this far- flung program is made possible each year through the prayers and offerings received on the annual World Day of Prayer. Mrs. Miriam Libby Evans, na tional director of the World Day of Prayer, in announcing plans for the 1955 observance said it is hoped that "the sense of per sonal mission of each one of us who prays and who gives will be expressed throughout the rest of the year in the many op portunities for service to our churches, to our communities and to the strangers in . our communities who wait for our understanding and an invitation to welcome in our churches and our homes. Thus the kingdom of heavon on earth for which we pray comes closer." A nursery, with an attend ant will be open during the pro gram without charge. - Men's Ties Added To Femme Finery New York U.R) Add an other item to the long list of men's wear the women have adapted for their own wardrobes.
