The shortage of men due to the draft and defense industries has not discouraged the Idetown Church Choir. They will present their Easter cantata, "The Risen Lord" on Easter Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in spite of the lack of basses and tenors. The cantata is arranged for three-part women's voices. Solo parts will be taken by Mrs. Bruce Williams, MRS. CLAUDE AGNEW, Mrs. Roy Tryon and Martha Hadsal. Mrs. Loren Keller is pianist and Mrs. Helen Husted is director of the choir.
