The fire was at the Goeringer Acreage, along Lower Demunds Road. Eighteen volunteer firefighters from Dr. Henry M. Laing Company, Dallas, an- swered the 10 am. alarm and two pieces of equipment were dispatched. Under the direction of Fire Chief Donald Shaffer, the men used booster lines, Indian tanks, brooms and rakes to control the rampaging fire. A smaller grass fire on Lincoln Street, Dallas Town- ship, was answered by the same fire company early Monday afternoon. An official of the fire com- pany stated that both fires were the results of ‘careless bur- ning.” Officials of the Dr. Henry M. Laing Company are requesting that all property owners exercise extreme care when burning grass, rubbish or brush. Local Man Wed On West Coast Mr. and Mrs. William L.

MEMBER - NORTHEAST CHAPTER Go NATIONAL SWIMMING POOL INSTITUTE 1 455-7793 Page 15 by the Rev. Charles Gilbert This is a wonderful time of the year. Of course you will say, “Because it is Easter.” Of course. But something extra- ordinary happened to me—my bank balance as I figured it came out exactly the same as the statement sent me from the bank! You don’t know how remarkable that is, my dear friends, and it is not the bank’s fault that we almost never agree. The bank has intricate machines that never make mistakes, and my aim is to have my balance figure out to agree with that of the bank. And this past week it did! Wow! Anyone want to hire me for a bookkeeper? Please don’t anybody put up your hand, I'm not for hire! Well, there are other matters that call for special comment. For instance, Palm Sunday at Mt. Zion church was to be a time for receiving a class of confirmation students into church membership. I have often said I never realized what it would be like to be an ‘‘old timer.”” Not but what I have known a lot of old timers in my pastoral experiences. They could always gloat to me about how things used to be, and what wonderful people there used to be in the good old days. Nobody can tell me much about those days now because I lived here back then. I was here during the Depression, and I saw our young men go to war, and I was here when some got those crisp dark telegrams from the war department. And I was here to welcome many of those boys who frankly said they’d rather go into combat than write let- ters! But I cherished those letters, even though I haven’t got the box of them out to read them over again. (I'm going to do that among other things, when I retire!) What I started out in this last paragraph was to say that the line-up at the church altar made me think back to the ‘‘good old days” when many of the parents of this class of youths were themselves children soon to be old enough to join the church. And I received them into the church into which their children were now joining. Our pastor called for the parents of this class to come and stand behind their children at the altar of the church. They had to take some of the responsibility for this group continuing in faithfulness as to their vows. And for that matter the congre- gation of church members had a response to make at the end of the ritual, pledging their own dedication to the on-going cause. Then the lay leader of our church was there with the pastor to hand out: the cer- tificates of membership and to make any little speech he might want to make at the time. And I was proud of Nelson Lewis that he could and did say the thing that was true: With his mother (who is still living in her 90’s) by Millie Hogoboom 696-2603 Easter is really a time for families to gather and share the full meaning of this important Christian event. So it was in keeping with tradition that Mr. and Mrs. Leo. Rutkoski Jr., and daughters, Susan and Sandra, of Chase Manor, had as their guests for, Easter dinner their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hart of Meadowcrest and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Rutkoski Sr., of Plymouth. They also had his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Reese and their children Donna, Debbie, Theresa and Johnny of Sutton Road. Two of the Reese daughters were not in the family circle this Easter for a very special reason.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Laskowski spent the weekend visiting her sister Mr. and Mrs. Paul Belevrch in New Jersey. Hope Berger, a student at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., arrived home March 24 to spend her spring vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Berger of Hillside Road. Mr. and Mrs. Berger, Hope and their son, Tony, spent the week of March 25 in Pompano Beach, Fla. Also recent visitors to Pompano Beach were Pat and Rollie Snowdon and their daughter, Tracy, of Sutton Road. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Weggel and children, Roger, Tom, Jean and Patty of Sutton Road, spent the Easter weekend in Williamsburg, Va., admiring the many historic sights. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Miller spent Easter Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barchik in Cambria. 1906 there was a fourth generation of members living. For Jane Lewis Lloyd’s son, Thomas, was among those being received. Others of the class were some of them third. generation mem- bers. I was glad to be an “Old Timer’ and know that suc- cession! All of those received have a substantial parental background in church member- ship. It was one of the most impressive scenes I have witnessed in some time. The class had been under instruction in the authorized manual of confirmation for nearly a year under the leader- ship of Mrs. Nelson Lewis. After church when I told her that I was proud of the work she had done she revealed that she, too, had enjoyed the class. She told of an original reply she got from one of the members who was asked, ‘How did the Methodist Church get started?’’ His reply has real bearing on some of the problems of our day when he said, “It was a time of great restlessness, and people were tired of the same old thing that was getting them nowhere. So they started a new movement.”’ Perhaps I have not given the exact word but that was the general idea. And at breakfast that mor- ning Catherine and I were talking about that mob scene we call now ‘the triumphal entry” which I don’t think sounds too contemporary. But we both began to think of some of the ‘“‘demonstration marches’ we have read about and seen on TV, and she saw strong similarity between that scene of old and our own time. She said, “Yes, that was a demonstration march, and it looked to the establishment of the time that things were getting out of hand. For the crowd had no parade permit; and they were littering roadside, destroying tree branches in doing so.” “Yes,” 1 added, ‘and the establishment began to call the pacifist leader of the movement (at least he was riding in it) to account for letting the mob shout what they were shouting.” s And Cathy then brought out, “Yes, but if you try to keep them from shouting, these rocks here will take up the shouts.” And she illustrated by seeming to hold a rock in her hand like present mobs sometimes pick up to hurl at the authorities. Maybe the restlessness of our generation and even the erupting violence are more contemporary with Biblical times than we have known. A letter came this week which pleased me. It was from a man who when I first began to preach up in Lisle, N.Y., became a warm friend of mine. He was outspoken but in- telligent, one of the few, if not the only college men of the town. He had come out of college and gone into the army and now was out and back in his home town. He had a baby daughter about the same age as our Dorothy and they played together. In the year 1924 I donned overalls and built a concrete sidewalk down the side street of the parsonage where we lived. Dorothy was around watching me. Then I got the idea I should mark the date on the corner block, and so I marked into the concrete 1924. Then an idea came which Dorothy approved of, for I took her little hands and pressed them into the soft “mud” of the walk! And there those prints have remained! In the course of the passing years we moved away, and something worse than that happened to the town: a disastrous flood swooped down on the town tumbling buildings uprooting trees, destorying lives. That Methodist parsonage was tipped to one side and prac- tically ruined. The sidewalks was washed, and eventually not fit to use. The house was eventually torn down. This friend of mine from whom I got the letter wrote that he had saved the part of that walk with Dorothy’s hand- prints in it and would give it to me if I wanted it, either some- time if I should be coming up or he might be coming down, and he would help me load it! I told him I would like that for one of my mementoes! It happened Catherine was being born that year and so it would be something to keep as a reminder. I haven’t decided just where I would display it, but I'd find a way! =f fn Approved VA B oti Financing Arranged... “mow. 1 No Down Payment Models £.6-11 12 Years to Pay bi CITGO Oil in Citgo Distributors
