One of those things happened yesterday in the form of a letter from Don May, Anaheim artist and design counsel, who laid out the Optimist week advertisement published in the Gazette last Friday. Here it is: Gentlemen: May I take this time to compliment you and your staff on the very excellent typographic handling of the Optimist ad of last Friday night. I have had many a layout set by a community newspaper and have regretted the result every time—with this and very few other exceptions. It was a very beautiful and accurate type translation of the layout and the result was an attractive page indeed. Sincerely, Don May.

Henry Lacy, recently returned missionary from those areas, whose long career in Asia for the Methodist board of missions qualified him for distinguished leadership in both China and Malaya. Prior to the outbreak of the Communist war in China, Henry Lacy had already rendered a lifetime service in that restless land. Forced then to evacuate, as were all Americans, he was promptly reassigned to serve the large Chinese population in Malaya, which is the new area of Communist unrest and potential difficulty. There, working chiefly with young people who are members of the Methodist Youth Fellowship, he observed a vitality among Christians in resistance to communist ideology which holds a great hope for the future of southeast Asia. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Lacy, who will speak to the youth group of MYF activities in Malaya, following the regular service. Both are speaking Sunday morning in Riverside. At both the 9 and 11 o'clock morning services, Rev. Frank E. Butterworth will preach on "Frozen Assets," an interpretation of the parable of the talents.
