The time they tell varies by five minutes. Another church clock to be seen from Hamilton offers the viewer the puzzling choice of times between its several faces, but rather intriguingly has the numbers removed so that one is able to "estimate" time by the position of the hands in relation to the circle formed by the blank face. One of the smaller public clocks along Hamilton St. has a face complete with numbers, but the hands have dropped on. It you wander off Hamilton one of the clubs just before mirlnierhf Ann' ha friahtonoti intn midnight, don't be frightened into thinking you've already had enough! and were just coming out of half-day.

Dr.

Frank N. D. Buchman, 72-year-old native of Pennsylvania, who inaugurated the Moral Rearmament campaign in England 12 years ago, addressed the initial session. Dr. Buchman maintains a residence at 117 N.

Effective Weapon West German spokesmen; who arrived by plane yesterday for the assembly, told reporters Moral Rearmament is proving an effective weapon against communism.

Hermann Stoffmehl, a borough official of Altenessen, said "the Communists fear Moral Rearma- Jment because they see in it the worm spanning lueuiugy which the west has.
