Candle to Carry Prayer for Peace in Raleigh County

A candle made by the Vocational School will beam the Christmas Peace message “Peace on Earth” on December 1 during the Every Light a Prayer for Lasting Peace program. Mrs. W. A. Chrisley chairs the event, jointly sponsored by the Raleigh County Garden Council and The Raleigh Register, with students placing the candle on the courthouse lawn as Garden Club members light it at WJLS studios. Residents are urged to light candles at home and kneel in prayer for lasting world peace. The Beckley lights will come on earlier this year, prompting changes to the committee plan. A poster and essay contest for juniors and seniors and a poetry contest for the public are part of the program.
