Mother's Day should be more than this . . . A day for giving thanks, for remembering, for recognition of the priceless service given every day of the year by mothers. But observance of Mother's Day is an empty gesture un- less it is part of a continuing expression of our love and gratitude for the gift of life. The Bible is filled with stories of women who risked danger and sacrificed pleasure for the lives of their child- ren, and countless sermons have been preached about the mothers who gave us Moses, Samuel, Jesus. It takes but a quick glance around the community or an imaginative reading of world news to make us realize that this self-giving spirit still guides millions of mothers in the world today. Mother’s Day is an opportunity to honor all of them, famous and unknown, by giving a particular honor to the one closest to you. Just remember that she needs it every day. \ ~ Self Reliance, The Cornerstone In an emergency, people forget lines of religion, and race and politics, Side by side they toil together to fill sand-bags to hold back a mighty river.

They turn out in a chill drizzle to search for a lost hunting party high in the mountains, and they remember For the experience forever. gotten themselves. a few hours, they have for- Emergencies are sometimes hard to come by, but the training that leads to handling an emergency when it does arise, is one of the easiest things in the world to find. Boys find it in the nearest Boy Scout Troop. They find it at camp, and in the study of measures for survival. They learn to reply upon themselves. Self reliance is the cornerstone of becoming an adult, the kind of an adult who can be depended upon in an emergency. Boy Scouting provides the motivating force, the chal- lenge that boys need to strengthen their moral as well as their physical fibre. No man can do a more important job than to become a Boy Scout leader. | Trinity United Laying of the cornerstone at Trinity United Presbyterian Church last Sunday followed close upon the formal opening of the new edifice on Easter Sunday. Another import- ant date to come is the ceremonial dedication, early in June. As it was eased into its prepared position, the cornerstone carried with it a history of the church to date: the first bulletin issued; the brochure of the day of organiza-' tion; papers relative to the invita- tion by the Presbytery; names of the kev members responsible for the building; a Book of Common Worship, personal property of the pastor, Rev. Andrew - Pillarella. It held safely within its depths a heritage of the past, a marriage certificate dating from 1863, when the country was in the throes of Civil War, and none could forecast whether the Nation would remain a Nation, or be torn asunder. The Church is built ‘upon what was once the Honeywell acreage.’ Further Expl anati on of How : i i Satellite Appears Howard Wiener, High School, adds a bit more ex- planatory material to the feature story on the Early Bird Satellite! which the Dallas Post published in! a recent issue: Subscribers who read the original article will immediately understand what he is talking about. Those who did not, will perhaps find heavy sledding. The Post aked Howard to explain how it was that a satellite could be, to all appearance, thumb-tacked in space, never changing its location, to serve as a constant relay station, instead of shooting round and round in space as earlier satellites have done, and are still doing. Howard says: A synchronous satellite, such as our Syncom No. 2, is a communi- cations satellite which rotates around the earth every 24 hours.| of satellite will doubtlessly play | Bishop Booth.

He asked, “Is this church to be a monument, or an instrument? Are we willing to go all the way with Him, in whose teachings we believe ? This is a day of Victory.. Will this day bear fruit?” The placing of the cornerstone was accomplished by Lester Hauck, architect; George Davis, building committee chairman; Russell Ide, | contractor, and William Ide, super- intendent.

Due to the great altitude neces- | sary for the satellite to achieve this period of rotation (22,300 miles up), the synchronous satellite is visible from many places on the globe at the same time. A satellite of this nature “hovering” above a | point on the equator can send mes- | sages to Seattle, London, Rome, Los | Angeles, and parts of Antarctica. A major disadvantage of the! famous Telstar satellites (which are | non-synchronous) is the fact that! they set over the horizon after a| comparatively short period of com- | munication.

But it helped a lot, not having a speedometer in action. That way, you just keep up with the traffic, =| speeding up if folks pass you with disdain for the heap | you happen to driving, and slowing down when you're taking the center lane too often. And of course, the new highway, bypassing both | Gettysburg and Emmitsburg, is a boon to the motoring public. No more crawling behind a truck, around right angle turns and up the roller coasters. But the real rat-race starts when you get where you're going, and find yourself surrounded by kind er- garden children, all waving peanut butter sandwickes. It had looked like a solid idea to get to Herndon, Vir- ginia, at around four p.m., when presumably the school bus would have delivered all the small fry to their respec- tive homes. Fige: “What,” I inquired, “are THESE?” ; THESE, it developed, were kids whose parents park- ed them for the day, collecting them at some indetermin- ate hour in the evening. : “Mostly,” Barbara explained, “they’re gone by six or maybe seven. And if their parents are delayed, I just set up another cot.” ‘ : That system explained the row of eyes peering over the room divider the following morning, taking note of the odd looking bundle in a Scotch plaid dressing gown, overflowing an army cot. “Go drop dead twice ® was the obvious response, but it seemed cruel. Easier to mumble, “Well, what do you characters want?” : The characters, in small sized pajams, wanted to know if it would be OK to use their skate-boards in the kindergarten room. And if so, would it also be OK to set up some barricades which could be skirted at high speed. : By “Well, lessee. It's close onto seven o'clock. Time for everybody to be up anyhow. Let nothing stop you. And after awhile I'll even come out and see how your obstacle course is functioning.” : : With that, the whole crew whooped out into the kin- -dergarten room, there was a grinding of wheels, and the | day was off to .a good start. ; : | It seemed like a good idea to snatch another spot of shut-eye, but it was not to be.

Jots From Dot March 4, 1965 Dearest Folks, Visitors We've had lots of nice visitors. When I got back from Matadi, Bar- | bara Norris was here from Elizabe'th- | ville.

He is really working hard and I think has a very realistic He : preached at the English service Sunday. A. M. I moved out and let him and Wayne Culp sleep in my house . The Bishop got the bedroom and Wayne the sofa (though that's a real bed too) and on our tour Wayne always stepped aside to let rassment. I kidded him about not being used yet to being Bishop! He is a very humble man and not a bit changed by his new office, but carries it with great dignity and responsibility. Their Own Bishop Our students were tremendously their own Bishop. In the past the Congolese haven't accepted their own leaders too gracefully, but re- ports from those who have watched Baba John at work say that appar- ently the title of Bishop has an aura about it that the people re- spect, even those who didn’t like Shungu before, and they attribute this to the great dignity and force of character brought to the title by even set up complete circuits down was an aroma of coffee from the kitchen. Only it wasn’t from the kitchen. It was rising from a cup held firmly in a relentless hand, directly over the cot. ; And there was a ruthless voice, saying, “You better get up now, if you want to go around with me in the bus, picking up kids for the morning session.” : “You've already GOT the kids. What on earth are those characters out in the kindergarten room, if not kids?” : ‘Oh, I forget to tell you. They're spending the week- end. Come on out and get some coffee. You've got just five minutes to dress.” : The enrollment was supplemented that day by an in- fant just learning how to walk, plus two little brothers, the entire clutch deposited by a harried set of parents who had met up with an emergency.

It was a bright sunny day, and a number of Main Street fixtures were settin’, watchin’ the people go by. One of the things they watched was a tall leggy youth, with the corners of his driver's license scarcely frayed, who jockied the family car into place at curbside with effort and went into the hard- ware store. His head was someplace in the clouds as he sauntered back out’ with the object of his errand in a paper bag, and he began to cross the street between two pick- | up trucks stopped for a red light. | : Suddenly he did a cartwheel on the spot and landed flat on his face | with a splat you could hear all the way to Trucksville. Between the trucks was a taut tow-chain. (A chorus of assorted frog-noises and gleeful wheezes emanated from the sidelines.) The boy got up, smiled thinly but gamely at one of the! truck drivers, and said: ‘I didn't see the chain.” 2/ A young man returned home late at night, or rather early morn- | ing, after an extensive tour of the nightwatch, his vision partially ob- scured. He had remarked to him-! | : self on the way h that he didn’t | into two teams of ticket salesmen, | Seno e y Acme | | the team selling the most tickets feel especially out of joint tonight, | considering the length of his tour | of duty. As our man parked his ‘car in front of the house he noted | | a small fire burning at the edge of ' the road and went to stamp it out. His foot was poised just above the fire when the leg took a jolt that | | made the back of his neck jump. | The foot was only inches above, and | descending upon, a live fallen power! line. BIG AND LITTLE | The Back Mountain's biggest and | littlest vehicles got together on | Saturday at Elston and Gould's | Memorial Highway. Tiny Gould brought by his recently acquired 1935 Cadillac V-16 brougham, built specially for Marlene Dietrich, and Ray Elston parked his baby motor scooter, which may well be the world’s smallest, alongside it for a picture. !

Tiny says the car is probably worth about $10,000. After Miss Dietrich, it was owned by the Hormel meat family and then somebody in Florida, who sold it to him. Tiny, who owns and trades in antique and classic cars, which he restores himself, says the car came with all the pedigree papers, so he is not relying on the plaques and Piaf on the brougham to guarantee ¥z authenticity. Seen And Heard Jack Cave notes that the last couple weeks have geen a genuine scarcity of meat and shortening at the wholesale places, probably attri- butable to the Dominican Republic police action. We wondered who's eating all the meat down there. It's about the size of Kirby Park, Jack says. We see more and mores motor- bikes on the road these days, and agency for one brand out at the Lake. Dan Meeker is thinking Yamahas might rent pretty well too. Trout: have been biting on --let’s see if I get this right, now-- one cheese-flavored salmon egg on a number 12 hook. How about that? There was this house at East Dallas corners, old and dilapidated, and the owner of the property was most agreeable to the idea of a fire company burning it down. for However. the company in question was outside its bailiwick, and the home team raised some ob- jections. The political powers that be in Dallas Township then obserigs ed, not inaccurately, that N- down this building would be arson, a felony, and apprised the police of this, as well. Nobody wants go be felonious in th’s kind of weather, so the house stands.
