Church Steeple Peels

Those spots where the paint is peeling off the steeple of Memorial Church will have to remain there throughout the spring, Cecil A. Roberts, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, said yesterday.

Roberts attributes the spots to the normal amount of weathering during the several years since the tower was last painted. The necessary job of steeple jacking and painting cannot come until next fall or the spring of 1955, however, because there is no provision for the repairs in this year's maintenance budget. But appropriation will be made for the job in the budget submitted next July, Roberts said.

Meanwhile, a large-scale repair job that will be concluded this spring involves the west end of Memorial Hall, where the large stained-glass window was removed last fall for strengthening. The window, whose lead frames tended to shake when struck by strong winds, has been rebuilt during the winter, and will be replaced in the Hall's west wall when the weather improves.
