WORKSHOP CANCELLED DUE TO SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. RUTH JACOBS

The Junior Choir Directors Workshop scheduled for this week at the Bethel College Mennonite church was cancelled due to the unexpected death in Oklahoma City, Okla. of Mrs. Ruth Krehbiel Jacobs, who was to be the workshop director.

Mrs. Krehbiel died Saturday, April 30, while conducting a workshop in Oklahoma City. She was the daughter of the late Rev. H. J. Krehbiel, longtime pastor of the First Mennonite church of Reedley, Calif., and was nationally known for her work in the field of junior choirs.

Among the survivors are two brothers, Walter and Arthur Krehbiel of Reedley.
