Sacred Concert At Methodist Church Sunday Evening

On Sunday, Januarv 11, at 8:00 p. m., the Delaware County Men's Choir, now in its 33rd season, will give a concert of sacred music at Hancock's Emory United Methodist Church. The pubiic is cordially in­vited to share in this musical ex­perience.

The Delaware County Men's Choir has been from its beginning under the direction of H. Eugene Wieand. Mr. Wieand is also the Superintendent of Schools for this school district. Members of the choir give their time freely, and annually travel hundreds of miles in order to attend practice sessions and to give 14 concerts. The choir has sung on many occasions in Hancock, the last time being in 1968, at the Presbyterian Church. A large attendance has always welcomed the group to Hancock, proof of its excellence.

A s its program this year, the choir will offer the following se­lections:

Holiness Unto the Lord, Marry-ott.

Open the Gates of the Temple, Knapp.

Go Tell it on the Mountain, Spir­itual.

Steal Away, Spiritual. Gesu Banmbino, Yon. O. Bambina, Capra/Velona. Thanks Be to God, Dickson. One God, Drake-Shirl. Holy, Holy, Holy, Schubert. Veni, Jesu, Cherubini-Ehret. In the Garden, Miles. Precious Lord,

ORRECTION! I!>S SUSAN WHITING.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNER

Miss Susan Whiting

Articles appearing in The Her­ald on December 25 and again on January 1 stated that Miss Linda Whiting was the Regents Scholar­ship winner from Hancock Central School. However, the young lady's sister, Miss Susan Whiting, a sen­ior at the school, won the scholar­ship and credit should have been given to her as well as her accom­plishments as listed last week. Of­ficials at the school and The Herald are sorry the mix-up in names oc­curred and trust that Susan will take advantage of her scholarship

Take My Hand, I achievement and continue in the higher fields of education where we're sure she will come through with flying colors.

Miss Whiting's sister, Linda, is a member of the sophomore class at Hancock Central.

Following custom of long stand­ing in Christian Churches, the con­gregations of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, F r s t Presbyteir-ian Church, Huicock. and Emory "emted MelJiodisT Church wiH join for tne first time in an ecumenical prayer service. Two such services are being arranged. The first w^l be held in S t . Paul's Roman Cath­olic Church a t 4:00 pan., Sunday, January 18th; the second w21 be held in the First Presbyterian Church, Hancocs, at 4:00 pjn. , Sunday, January 25th. In each case a coffee hour will follow the services.

Perhaps one of the most signifi­cant developments within the Christian Church of the past decade has been a renewed interest in church unity. In part, this in­terest has been fostered by the urgency for reconciliation between men in the secular world. The de­mand has pointed sharply to the existing divisions between Chris­tians.

The local ecumenical effort is not undertaken in^ the spirit of weak­ening1 or ignorirg denominational doctrir.es or beliefs or customs. It has as its purpose to underline this basic truth: " F i all call God our

Mr. Hankins, a local bluestone dealer, and his wife had departed Hancock on Friday, December 26 for Fort Myer, Florida, where t h e y planed to move into their new home which was completed earlier this winter. They had sold their bluestone home in Pennsylvania Avenue to Dr. and Mrs. Osias Vil­laflor and their boushold effects had been shipped to their new-home and put in storage awaiting their arrival. They were being ac­companied to Florida by Mrs. Han­kins' mother, Mrs. Alfred Fmk-bohner of Lava and the tragedy happened at 10 a. m. Sunday as Mr. Hankins drove his 1968 Lin­coln Continental from a motel on a bypass to Highway 301, a New York to Florida highway. His car w a s . struck on the left side by a car driven by a woman from New­ark, N. J. Mrs. Hankins and her mother were hospitalized for treat­ment of injuries following the crash and were later released. The driver of the other car and her two

| passengers were also injured, but i not seriously, police reported.

Mr. Hankins was born in Tusten, I Sullivan County on October 10, I 1913, a son of the late Charles A. 'and Catherine (Hart) Hankins. He

v a s united in marriage to Miss Al­berta Finkbohner in 1940 and they located in the local area in 1956 residing in Cadosia for a few years before building a new home in Hancock where they resided until last month. Mr. Hankins had been in the bluestone business since 1935 and had a dock and office on old Route 17 just west of the Vil­lage of Hancock until the comple­tion of the Route 17 Expressway in that section at which time h e was forced to relocate his business and he moved his stock and office to a site on what was formerly known as Cannonsville Mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Hankins had planned to return to the local area each sea­son and continue his retail stone business. The couple have many friends and acquaintances in Han­cock and the surrounding area who were grieved by Mr. Hankins' tra­gic and untimely death.

Besides his wife, Mr. Hankins is survived by two brothers, Wal­ter Hankins, Sr., of Narrowsburg and Arthur Hankins of Albany. He is further survived by his mother-in-law and several nieces and neph­ews.
