832-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 15, 1992 Readin (Continued from Page B 30) children. One reader from Connelsville, Rhoda Evans, is enthusiastic about reading. She checks the books out of the Carnegie Free Public Library and takes them to others who may not be able to get to the library. Some of those who read the books with her are her friends. Others are relatives. She loves to read anything, but the gift certificates that are given to those reading 10 bodes are like icing on the cake. ReViews published A unique part of the program is that community volunteers are recruited by the church to write reviews of the books. Local news papers may publish the book reviews and reviewer photos. The reviews give visibility to both the books and the overall pur pose of the education strategy. Melissa Schofield, lifestyle edi tor for the Daily Courier, Connels villle, says that she is glad to use the reviews in her paper, especial ly since they are written by local people and “it’s a good cause.” Scottdale dentist, Ed Thomba lade, wrote his first review when the book list included a biography of John Wesley. In college, Thornblade had studied John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church. He felt the book was good for people in his congregation. Since then, Thorn blade’s church, Trinity United Methodist, has bought the books each year for their education program. A mother from Scolldale, Ruth Scott, whose family has partici pated in the readings for several years said, “Parents and teachers should check out From Anna with a child, and read it yourself. Good intentions, meaning well, and even loving, are not always enough to help a child grow.” She feels that this book can help adults recommit themselves to using the power of love unceasingly. Other groups show interest Beyond the local community, other congregations have tried variations on the program in their own areas. First Deaf Mennonite, on Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancas ter, has created a peace elf doll that young readers can check out and take home when they are read ing the peace books.

Dear Golden Pnde/Rawleigh • In September of 1985,1 had back surgery to correct a lower back problem from an injury that happened in 1970. Six months after the operation, I woke up one morning with extreme tower back pain. I went to the doctor and was sent to a spe cialist who told me I had rheumatiod arthritis and it would gradually get worse. In September of 1990, t started taking Combination 23.1 took six in the morning and six at night for five days, then cut back to four in the morning and four at night. After five days, the pain was gone. Now I take three in the morning and three in the evening, and I am still getting great results. Dear Golden Pride/Rawleigh: On June 25 at Shipshewana Flea Market we met Ben and he explained Gol den Pride/Rawleigh to us. He told us to try Formulas 01,02 and Combination 023 for arthritis. We decided to give it a try since I had allergic reactions to all the medicines doctors gave me and they would no longer prescribe any more medi cine. We are very pleased now as I can walk a mile or more without the cane or crutches when before I could only go a short distance. I would advise anyone with arthritis to give it a try. It has done a tot of good for me. For information or products call or write DAVID E. KUNKLE, 1137 Ranck Rd. New Holland.
