Don Jones is the name the new Methodist pastor at Rossville announced at the annual conference. December 1, 1949 MINISTER GIVES SAMPLE OF HIS ARTISTIC ABILITY Don Jones, popular young minister of the Methodist Church, has transformed what had been a very unattractive window in the church building into a beautiful painting depicting the Christmas story. His congregation wonder when Don found the time, but after-midnight revelers tell of lights in the church when they returned home. With an inspiration, a little paint, brushes and an unlimited ability to get things done, he has created a work of art that is an inspiration for all who behold and an improvement to the appearance of the church. Thank you, Rev. Jones, is the appreciative remark of one of his congregation.
