—Lancaster Panning, Saturday, October 14,1967 4 From Where We Stand ... National Bible Week 1967 This year the week of October 15 through October 22 will bring the ob servance of National Bible Week. The theme of the occasion will be "The Bible: Good News for Modern Man.” Vice-Admiral William F. Reborn, Jr., national chairman of an interfaith pro gram for encouraging use of the Bible has said that this theme, “. . . seems to be particularly significant because of the difficult and deeply troublesome respon sibilities which our country is facing in its staunch support of man’s basic free doms. Certainly the teachings of the Bible are doubly applicable and bring in spiration, strength and understanding to the peoples of the world and their leaders representing the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths, who, with others, are opposing the resurgence of the forces of evil.” The sanctity of man and the value of a single human life are basic tenets of Christianity as are compassion, under standing 'and generosity directed toward those less fortunate or suffering affliction. The Lord demonstrated the meaning of these values and the strength of faith during the years of his ministry. The story lies within the pages of the Bible available to each of us as an unfailing source of inspiration, guidance, and strength. Let each of uis make this obser vance of Bible Week a time for realiza tion that this Book still carries within its pages the only light that can show man the way to live in peace with his neigh bors. It is the light of life itself that none of us can do without. At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand. ★ ★ ★ ★ Poultry Tour A Success With the completion of the NEPPCO Poultry Tour into Lancaster County this week, "a'jword of congratulations are in order for our local poultrymen who made it a success. From the question and answer period at Plain and Fancy Monday even ing, it was obvious the out-of-state and foreign visitors were impressed with our local poultry industry. And well they should be. With our poultrymen supplying a reported one percent of the countries poultry products it is natural that outsiders would be watching to see how we do it. So again, congratulations poultry men for bringing just one more honor to our county through your fine workman ship in the NEPPCO Lancaster County Tour.

Second Class Postage paid at Lititz, Pa. 17543 Member of Newspaper FaiwEditors Assn, Try A Stretcher, Sometime We received this little slogan from the National Safety Council and we thought it worth while passing on to you. IF YOU THINK SEAT BELTS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE .... try a stretcher, sometime. Along with the slogan were these items on a fact sheet. 53,000 people lost their lives in traf fic accidents during 1966. 35,100 were drivers or passengers in automobiles. If they had been using seat belts, at least 8,000 to 10,000 of those lives would have been saved. Three-fourths of all traffic accidents occur within 25 miles of home. Half of all injury-producing acci dents occur at impact speeds of 40 m.p.h. or less. Your chance of survival 'is five times greater if you stay inside the car. Thou sands of deaths and Serious injuries are caused by being thrown from the car . . . being dragged or run over by another vehicle ... or being run over by your own vehicle. A seat belt can help keep you from being knocked unconscious . . . your chance of escaping if the dar catches on fire or goes into water is multiplied hundreds of times. Only 20 per cent of 'all serious acci dent in a convertible involve a rollover. In the other 80 per cent, belts would prevent ejection. Seat belts can help prevent the second collision . . . being thrown around inside the vehicle. More than half of all passenger oar occupants are now provided with seat belts . . . BUT they are using those belts only about half of the time. Even this limited use, however, sav ed about 2,000 lives in 1966. ‘fro'u may only need seat belts once but you don’t know which once, so, you batter fasten your seat belts every 'time you Stick the key in the ignition. At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand. Across The Fence Row A dog can say a lot with just a bark or a tale wag. Our forefathers ran a farm, with less machinery than we use to keep the lawn in shape. Only fools think they are always right. Here comes the eager fisherman With fish to clean and share. His fish-shy neighbors bolt their dolors. His poor wife doesn’t dare. Then there’s this story: A man walk ed into a federal office and asked if it were the headquarters for the war against poverty. When told that it was, he said, “I surrender”. Carl Markey, Sarasota, Fla.

A little girl asked her father one day, "Daddy, what doea God do all day long?” "Why he’s your heavenly Father,” he replied, sur prised at the question. Yet this was not an adequate answer for the little girl, for she knew that her own father was more than a "daddy.” He had a Job in the world beyond their home. Thus, as her own father had more to do than just being a „ .... "daddy,” surely Rev.Althouse God foe had more to do than to be her "heav enly Father.” As writer Bruce Larson has suggested, our religion too often is "Daddy-centered.” We think of God as exclusively "our Father,” as if he had nothing else to do, no other role to play. Yet, as Jesus said, "My Father is work ing still, and I am working.” God is more than a Father; he is also a worker. Long ago he created the world, but today he is still working in his world, still fash ioning it according to his plan and purpose. We Tend To Forget Of course we know this, but we, tend to forget it very easily. We think of God as a household or local deity. We say “our God” with an unmistakable possessive inflection in our voices. He is die God who is so intimately con cerned with my individual life in ah its facets, however tiny, that I forget that he is also Creator of Man and Earth, Ruler of the Na* dons, Lord of the Universe. God is concerned with my per sonal problems and needs, but I need to remember that he is also concerned with groups of people, communities, races, nations, worlds. My relationship with the family next door is of interest to him, but so are the relationships between the Soviet Union and the To Eradicate Rats...
