Further, the committee will establish a date and program clearance calendar similar to that - of the Council itself, to avoid conflicting dates for ac- tivities in the area. One problem already tackled by the commitee's predecessor body was a quieted affair which had to do with the distribution of Gideon Bibles in the subur- ban schools. Working with the Catholic Diocese in the area, the matter was soon cleared Up suc- cessfully. The recognition granted.by the Council in establishing such a committee to represent it in the area is a sign of the communi- ty's growth and the dependa- bility of its leaders. We wish Ben Weil, of Cong.
