Church Leaders Outwitted By Clergyman
In Darlington England on June 3 the Parochial Council of St Pauls Church asked Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine to explain why he wed the Duke of Windsor and Mrs Wallis Warfield without church authority. The warden said the council, 22 members aged about 30, would have advised against the ceremony. The Church of England still does not recognize the marriage as blessed, with Bishop of Fulham noting Jardine has prevailed amid public anger and controversy.

Solons Act To Further Cut Relief Costs
County commissioners moved to end county participation in WPA sewing centers and in the distribution of federal surplus commodities effective June 15. Three sewing centers employ 97 women in Lorain and Blythia, costing about $650 monthly, while surplus distribution costs run around $150 a month. As relief is trimmed, the county aims to reduce direct relief, reporting a May decrease of 92 cases to 259 total, with many single individuals not employable. The director notes costs may drop further this month to about $7,600, while the shift relies on removing single cases first.
