To Address Woman’s

will present Edward Hill of
Fleetwood, Pa., at an open
meeting on Monday, April 19,
at 8 p.m; in the Lutheran
Educational Building. The
Senior Citizens will be guests
and the public is invited to
attend.
Hill will present the pro­gram,
“Invisible Motion.” He
is a photographer, writer, and
lecturer. His inique talents
have long been recognized,
and in 1949 he was awarded
an associateship conferred by
the Photographic Society of
America. Accord ng to Who’s
Who in Photography, Hill
topped the list in both 1949
and 1950 for having more col­or
nature photographs exhib­ited
than any other photog­rapher.
He is a member of
the Pennsylvania Academy of
Science, the Chicago Nature
Camera Club, Hawk Mountain
Sanctuary Association and oth­ers.
“Invisible Motion” is a pro­gram
that “makes time stand
still ” Moment iby moment
through both day and night,
the camera has caught every
slightest movement of familiar
things. These will be illus­trated
with natural color in
still and motion pictures with
personal commentary.
The lecture required more
than two years of applied
phoiography. For periods as
long as three months, one or
more cameras were in con­stant
operation, recording
growth, movement, and color.
Photography through the mi­croscope
reveals glimpses of
an enchanting world, brought
brilliantly to the screen.
Mrs. William J^ede, Jr.,
will introduce the speaker and
Mrs. Garth Becker will pre­view
the May meeting. The
Collect will be read by Mrs.

Churches Outline Need
For Religious Classes
The Warwick Association of
Churches feels that not enough
is being done in the schools,
homes and churches to pro­duce
thoroughly well-informed
Christian children and youth
in numbers proportionate to
the population and needs of
the times, officials of the as­sociation
said.
They feel that the answer
to the recent Supreme Court
decisions on Bible Reading
and prayer in the schools is
Pennsylvania’s authorized one
hour a week release time from
school for religious education.
This will go into effect next
fall for the first time in the
Warwick Union School Dis­trict.
A spokesman said that
the release time is baked on
the premise that the Warwick
Union School board and War­wick
High School have given
recognition to the significance
of religious education. The
classes in religious instruc­tion
for all 7th graders will
begin in September and will
be conducted in churches near
