PAGE TWELVE T H E LEADER THURSDAY^ O C t e t o STATEMENT FROM CHAMBER PRESIDENT Fretpuil Chiinilicr i)f Cammoice Prosidont Richard Davis re vealed taday the eotileiils of a two pafie report which explores the poionlially Kvavc parking problem which will be toeing the Merchants ei t'icc|nn'l's business district. . In response to frequent inquiric.s from the business community iiiiicerning the limited parking, a committee, headed by Chamber director.'; Walter Green and Roy CEiccialore, was formed to examine the problem. '‘The difficult parking situation will worsen within the jiext year unless some elTorl i.s made to coned it,” slated Davis. ft was agreed among the committee members that no land was now iivailablc in tlie area and Ihc possibility of acquiring land in the future was slim. The tomintllee then turned to those projects which could m:ike the best use of existing parking areas. The preliminary report recommends that the possibility of a three level above the ground p;irking iuea be considered. A similar project was undertaken in the Village of Hempstead with excellent results. The Hempstead project was designed by T. Y, l,in A.s.sockdes of Now York and was completed within six months of groimdbrciiking. The three level parking area more than tripled the (irigiiuil rield ciipacity and promises to p;iy for itself in meter fees. In order to arrive at a space/price ratio for a .similar facility in the jji twcnl Church St. Lot, a representative of T. Y, Lin will be meeting with the Cliamber Parking Committee and will also attend the Oc- toller meeting of the Ciiainber of Commerce Directors. When all the facts arc known, we will present our recommenda- tioiw to the mayor for his eweful and serious consideration com mented Davis, Project Opportunity Helps Twelve Get To College Mr. R. D.

The prcsiiUng minister, CUirencu Scott, in discussing this program explained, \Jehovah's Witnesses find in the course of their minis terial work that in speaking to persons of all faiths, there is e void in knowledge of God and his purpose.^. Most persons are content with belonging to a cer tain religion and attending ser vices once a week. However, Scott continued, \this is not enough to gain God's approval. All persons desiring to please God must take In accurate knowl edge of the Bible and accept the responsibility to act in accordance with wliat they learn.” Scott went on to explain that the wit nesses are a teaching organiza tion and that this convention is designed to help them become better teacbera. He concluded by saying “Wo encourage all sincere persons interested in pleasing God and finding the answer to these troubled times, to attend some session of- the convention, particularly the main address by P.
