tt • N, Y. AMSTERDAM NEWS, Sat, Sept. 14, 1963 Whites Aid Rebuilding Of Churches ASBURY PARK, N.J. — The churches in the latter city are being rebuilt with the help of the‘r white fellow citizens. The buildings which were des­ troyed last year by segregation extremists, and had a total value of $12,000 to $15,000. Each of the identically design- led churches is expected to cost $30,000, and last year The Asbury | Park Press, a local daily, raised more than $3,000 in contributions from area residents to help with the rebuilding program. It Is expected that the con­ crete-block churches will be com­ pleted sometime next month and at the last report, the building fund drive stood at $75,000, about $5,000 short of the cost of con­ struction. The churches are Mt. Mary and Mt. Olive Baptist, both outside Sasser, about 10 miles from Al­ bany, Ga., and Shady Grove Bap­ tist, about 20 miles north of Al­ bany. Voting Centers Groundbreaking began in Feb­ ruary. but actual construction did not begin until mid-July, and ownership of the three churches 'was taken over by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference which is acting as a clearing house for contributions used as construction payments. $500 check for NAACP life membership to Dr. John A.
