One reason why the university kept him was that he could do odd Jobs. Then he* became a football and tennis star. After leaving college he kept up his Interest in sports, expanding thia to hunt­ ing and fishing. Fishing for men was his main interest, though. Before he came to Salem, at 2525 Synder Ave., Brooklyn, in June 1922, he pas­ tured in Ontario, and Virginia The Salem he met was "an old dilapidated, rat-infested buil­ ding . . . with a debt of over a thousand dollars and only $142.29 the bank." He paid off the old debt, built, in 19S4, a $50,000 mortgage-free brick edifice, added a new or­ gan- He has purchased an extra building now used as an apart­ ment bouse and recently dedi­ cated “The Alfred Marshall Me­ morial Youth Center.” Failing health led him to seek an assistant pastor.

Different Strains "I am a man made up of different strains”, the pastor said during the Interview at his home, 867 East 21st St, Brook­ lyn. He talked of his painting and pointed to those hung on the living room wall, and to the bril­ liant waterfall above the stairs. When he mentioned craftwork, Mrs. Storrs got up and went to her room. She came back bring­ ing a sampling of five shawls made for her by Rev. Storrs. He explained that since he was stric­ ken first with arthritis and then a stroke, he spent more time in his chaiy than before. So he used his enforced leisure doing such things. He could draw too. He noted that he had drawn the plan of his present church and then given it to the drafts­ man to put in the specifications. Poetry was another pastime. Ho had written many poems for vary­ ing occasions, or as the mood demanded of him. He read aev eral Including his 1962 Christ mas Poem. Part of all this activity was his wife, Ruth, a Hampton In­ stitute graduate whom he mar­ ried la 1940 after the death of his first wife, Ada, in 1938 Six Children Of that first marriage there are six children alive, married and doing well: Alvin; Dr. Wal­ ter, Jr.; Lloyd; Zenobia; Inez and Geneva. He has eight grand­ children two of w$om ore in college. Rev. Storrs, pastor of the only Baptist Church in Flatbush, has come a long way from that sun­ ny June 5, 1883, when he was born on a little seven-acre farm, near Mechanicsville turnpike in Hanover County. And in the intervening years, Amused The sight of him amused his future colleagues. "One fellow said to the other". Ho rood on, "where did that hay-seed come from with that pill-box Look at those high waters and brogan.” Truth to tell, he hadn’t come from any school worth bragging about. And he needed a special class and teachers from advanc Deltas Swing At Golden Jubilee Winter Formal The Brooklyn alumnae chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorori­ ty was out in full force at its Winter Formal at the Hotel Gra­ nada in Brooklyn, last Friday night.
