He is Maryknoll missioner and ‘“‘worker-priest,’”” Frank Elsinger. While he puts in the same 60- hour week as his Chinese co- workers, Frank’s reason for being there extends beyond his paycheck, the operation of one factory or the working conditions of one group of people. As a co-organizer, eight years ago, of a ‘Labour Advisory Team” composed of Chinese workers, he hoped to establish reasonable and just standards in labor-management relations and to win respect for the workers as human beings. After permission was granted by his superiors, Father Elsinger entered the labor market him- self. His first job was a seven- week stint in a cotton factory. This gave him immediate, first- hand knowledge of the ex- ploitation experienced by countless working men and, women. Even though conditions in Hong Kong were better than in many other parts of Asia, ex- perience taught him that in too many cases, injustice was a way of life. Father Elsinger then spent a year operating a machine in a toy factory until he was replaced by automation. Now he is employed by a clock manufacturer. Frank Elsinger sums up his mission as a worker-priest this way: “I wanted to go in as a worker,” he said, ‘‘partly to get the feel of it, but also to see the kind of relationship I could set up with the people...We're trying to find a way to present Christ's message...and I think the key is in accepting as much as we can of what they have...and then by going beyond it...” Accepting and respecting people where they are can be the first step in gaining their respect and acceptance. Christ took his message to the people. Men like Frank Elsinger translate that message and example of love into a constant and vital reality.

A positive affirmation can be very effective. When you affirm something, it is equivalent to saying ‘‘Yes” to a situation, circumstance, feeling, or at- titude. To start a day with a positive affirmation may be more helpful than you would ever have dreamed. For instance, say to yourself something like this: “Today I will be as cheerful as possible. Today I meet every situation with calmness and poise.” This is a simple but powerful way of affirming the kind of a day you will have.

Broske. Woodrow Sites is building principal. The public is invited to attend this program. Loose To Become Historical Assn. President John W.W.Loose, social studies teacher at Donegal high school, will take office as president of the Lancaster County Historical Society on May 8 at the annual dinner meeting of the Society. Loose has served as secretary of the society since 1948, and is editor of its Journal, a post he will retain. Others elected are Curtis N. Painter, Donald Crownover, and Paul Kaseman, vice presidents; Christine Kreider, secretary, Charles F. Stauffer, Jr., treasurer; and Anne Ashton, membership secretary. Loose, a member of the American Historical Association, Organization of American Historians, and 24 other local, state and national historical and professional associations, is author of nearly 60 articles, monographs and books on history. His special field is economic and business history. The new president says he has as a top priority the restoration of the Lancaster County Historical Society as a county-wide organization giving support and assistance to the efforts of the numerous local groups that have been started over the past dozen years. During the past twenty years, Loose says, ‘We have gotten the image of being a metropolitan Lancaster historical society. That is not what we are, but it is what people think we are, and that must be changed.” Pledging to make the county society as ‘‘concerned with Falmouth and Kirkwood, Reinholds and Wakefield, as with suburban and urban Lancaster,” Logse has indicated his interest by holding membership and offices in five local historical groups. He says the Mount Joy group now being formed is a highly desirable effort, and it will have his complete support. , Auction & Garage Sale Saturday, May 5, 12 Noon In Front of Donegal High School Numerous household items plus Bicycles, Polaroid Camera, Furniture, Clothing, Charcoal Grill, Folding Chairs, Vapor- izer, Bunk Bed, Radios, Vacuum Cleaners, TV's.
