It's true, she did not even own the home but she knew someone who was building a mansion for her. She had decided He could make better use of her funds than she could, so she chose not to purchase many "ne- cessities." She loved to talk with her Saviour and thoroughly enjoyed studying her Bible. In fact, she studied two Bible courses during her last year of life. The last time I visited with her she had a series of questions on Bible topics that she wanted answered.

Devotional messages were pre- sented by Kenneth Mittleider, J. R. Spangler, and Kenneth H. Wood. Departmental leaders presented items of importance and Attorney Robert Nixon, of the Religious Liberty Department of the General Confer- ence, reported on the current hap- penings in the United States and around the world affecting religious freedom. Separate sessions were held for ministers' wives. The Monday eve- ning meal, provided by the Southern Publishing Association, featured Derek Mustow, speaking on the soul-winning capability of These Times magazine.

Annual Communication Council Draws Professionals Union-wide Union-wide conference, academy, college, and hospital PR personnel-18 individuals—met for a day and a half near Richmond, Virginia, before the end of last year. They came together to exchange ideas, view teaching aids, ask a newspaper editor for guidance, and report on some unique projects they had had publicized. Carol Hetzell, of the General Conference, brought the latest promotion and advertising tools to keep everyone abreast in this area of his job. This was the group's first meeting with the new union conference director of communication, Franklin W. Hudgins. They plan to meet again this year near the first of October. Pictured on the left (above), Oliver Jacques (extreme right) describes to academy, conference, and hospital personnel how ground was broken with dynamite for Kettering's new satellite hospital. Those on the right shared various experiences that news writing, picture taking, and PR promotion involve.
