KUTZTOWN - A speech
and slide presentation by Dr.
Ken Elscn, a director of the
Rchrersburg Teen Challenge
Center, was the featured
program at the 47th annual
meeting of the Berks County
DHIA organization, held
here recently.
Eisen, who has a degree in
veterinary medicine, spoke
to the group of about 250
assembled for the meeting in
the Kutztown Grange Hall.
The Teen Challenge
program, as Eisen described
it, strives to turn today’s
troubled youth away from
drugs and alcohol through
the adoption of a Christian
lifestyle.
Eisen said in previous
years most of the youths
coming to the Center came
from larger cities, but today
there are more and more
youths coming to the Center
from rural areas.
Eisen’s slide presentation
showed what life is like at a
Teen Challenge Center. It is
at the centers that those with
Tools of the trade
A good mechanic’s tool box
contains a variety of aids to
help service farm vehicles.
But often ingenuity is as vital
as the right wrench or pliers.
Two cases in point cited by
Champion Spark Plug
Company involve the spark
plugs and the distributor.
Many of today’s engines
locate the spark plugs in
inaccessible places.
Removing and installing
plugs when the engine is hot
can become a difficult task.
To handle this situation, use
a suitable length of small
hose which can be pushed

“cold turkey", that is
without the help of any other
medication or sedatives. He
noted that through their
professed faith In Christ,
many youths at the Centers
don't experience as much
pain and suffering while
going through withdrawal,
be it cither from drugs or
alcohol.
The Rehrersburg Center,
which in 1962, was just a
farm house, now has a
chapel, library, dormitories,
cafeteria and classrooms, as
well as other rehabilitating
areas.
The usual day of a youth at
the Center consists of
morning worship after rising
at 6:15 a.m., half a day of
class, with subjects taught in
both English and Spanish.
The afternoon is spent in any
one of the Center's many
trade shops. There is an auto
body shop, print shop, radio
room, green house, waste
water treatment plant and a
215 acre, 80 cow dairy farm.
In these areas the youths
over the top of the spark plug
terminal and insulator. The
plugs can thus be put into
place or removed without
burning your fingers. Of
course, a socket wrench is
still needed to loosen or
the plugs.
If you are attempting to set
timing and the distributor is
frozen, use an adjustable oil
filter wrench to loosen it. If
the distributor is really
stubborn, squirt on a little
heat riser solvent. This could
do the trick without
damaging distributor parts
or casting.

out with the chores at the
Center. Elscn stressed that
the directors of the Center
want the youths to learn a
useable trade so that they
can support themselves
when they leave the Center.
He remarked that the Center
directors don’t like to add to
the nation’s welfare rolls by
allowing the youths at the
Centers to take a “free
ride”.
Eisen is proud of the ac
complishments of Teen
Challenge and said the
organization is constantly
growing; which means that
the facilities and methods
used at the centers must be
enlarged and improved to
meet the growing demand.
At present, according to
Etsen, there are 100 Centers
and out stations located
throughout the United States
and Europe.
The program then con
tinued with a speech on
bicentennial reflections of
life on the farm, presented
by the Alternate Dairy
Princess, June Trailer.

She then spoke about the
forming of dairy

technology, stressing that
both have aided the dairy

and prosper as it has in the
past.
