Wheeling Across the Country
By Mary Herzel
"Why me?" "Do I have to be paralyzed from the waist down?"
So began the story of Mike King, confined to a wheelchair that has
carried him from Alaska to Harrisburg.
To a packed Gallery Lounge on Feb. 4, King shared his experiences
since his motorcycl accident. King shared his subsequent depression, and his
new strengths.
"At first I wasn't able to see what I could still do and so I concentrated
on the things I couldn't do," he said.
King emphasized the three P's-prayer, patience, and perseverance-as
ways to overcome any obstacles in life.
King tells that life is worth living in his book "The Mike King Story".
A slide show that impressed the audience followed King's talk.
Capital Christian Fellowship sponsored the proegram.

So You Think You'd Prefer the
Good Old Days (or We've Come a
Long Way Baby!) Thanks to Dr. McGhee for submis
sion of this nostalgia.
Consider the following office rules posted in this country in 1872 by
Zachary U. Geiger, sole proprietor of the Mount Cory Carriage and Wagon
Works.
1. Office employees will daily sweep the floors; dust the furniture,
shelves and showcases.
2. Each clerk will bring in a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for
the day's business.
3. Clerks will each day fill lamps, clean chimneys, trim wicks. Wash
the windows once week.
4. This office will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. daily, except on
the sabbath, on which day it will remain closed.
5. Men employees will be given an evening off each week for
courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go regularly to church.
6. Every employee should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of
his earnings for his benefits during his declining years, so that he will not
become a burden upon the charity of his betters.
7. Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any
form, gets shaved at a barbershop, or frequents pool or public halls, will give
me good reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity, and honesty.
8. The emplyee who has performed his labors faithfully and without
fault for a period of five years in my service, and who has been thrifty and
attentive to his religious dutires, is looked upon by his fellow men as a sub
stantial and law abiding citizen, will be given an increase of five cents per day
his pay, providing a just return in profits from the business permits it.
