CORNELL NEW YORK (AP) -- The slim, white spire of a new church today rises above the skyline on Okla- homa City's northern edge, symbol of a religious challenge. It represents what church auth- orities term one of the most crit- ical problems facing them. It is one of many churches that are pioneer- ing the new residential frontier, the suburbs. But many more are needed. In the last decade, millions of people have moved to city outskirts, often miles from the nearest church. To provide churches in these new articles cannot transmission overseas. Glass jars and bottles should not be included, as they are likely to break and cause widespread damage and possible injury.

MORE NEEDED Denominations have strained their budgets trying to build needed new churches. But the gap still is large. In the case of the new Okla- homa City church , the Nichols Hills Baptist church, its establish- ment offers an example of the sol- ution church officials say is peeded, iniatiative, work, will and ief. One of Oklahoma Citys leadin, ministers, Dr. Rupert Naney, left a big, influential downtown pulpit to heed the call of a long time vision, to help bring 'the ¢hurch to those beyond its reach. "In city after city," he said, "churches have lost the field by not following the suburban popula- tion. "You see these new com- munities Srowing up, rimming our cities with new homes, new fam- illes and children. This is the dwelling place of our younger gen- eration, the heart of our land and its future. The church must be there, too." Striking out alone, Dr. Nafey first held services in an outlyin theatre auditorium, Then he s up Sunday school classes in homes and in offices of a lumberyard, donated for church use. About 100 persons became charter members of the new church.

Two men, cutting a tree in a lot on Brock Street North, after dinner, state that the tree fell the wrong way, thus striking a hydro pole, shearing off the cross-arm, dragging all the wires down, dropped in front of a passing truck, and caused a fire about one block away. Both Police and Fir Departments were summoned fo the scene before the situation was brought. under control. Chief Constable Charles Fletcher, called because of the motor ve- hicle damage, states that Charles Bell, RR2, Whitby, and Fred Shom- ishky, RR2, Whitby, were chtting trees on a small woodlot, just south of Chestnut Street on the west side of Brock Street. They told Chief Fletcher that they were cutting a huge tree close to the streetline and had wedged it to fall west into the woodlot. The tree however ignored the wedges and fell to the north east. In its downward sweep, the upper limbs of the tree crashed into a hydro pole on the west side of the street, pulling all wires to the ground. shortly | fered Woodcutting Disrupts Hydro Service At Whitby The top of the tree struck fhe west half of Brock St just as Mrs. Eunice Bagley, RR1, Brooklin, was proceeding south driving her husband's half-ton pick-up, TI truck, says Chief Fletcher, #uf- @ a broken headlight and bumps and dent to the fender, door and hood. Strangely enough, one branch of the tree me 1 d in the frame of the truck, just over the rear axle. She bro the truck to a halt without further mishap. STARTS FIRE TOO Also claimed to be a result of the mishap, was a broken primary hydro line about one block farther south which brought firemen to the scene first. There it was found that one line was broken and was dangling on the ground with cur- rent pouring through. No equip- ment was used but firemen stood by until members of the Whitby Public Utilities Commission were able to turn off the power. Damage to the Begley truck has been placed at $200 but no estimate has been placed on damage to the hydro. The trees were being cut on the property of Dennis Deachenko, at the rear of the lot on 418 Byton Street North. v Pogson, E. Parkinson, Wm.
