Culligan's Grand Opening Saturday In its 13th year of operation, the Decatur Culligan Soft Water Service Co. will conduct a grand opening of its new office and plant facilities at Third and Madison streets Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p m. with three grand prizes being offered to guests who visit the establishment. Formerly owned by partners Jim Elberson and Clarence Ziner. the firm fell under the head of Ziner alone in July. 1956, when he bought Elberson’s interest in the company. Ziner, who is assisted by his son. Gene, is all facets of the work, has steadily improved facilities at the previous location and finally moved several weeks ago to the new quarters, where service to customers can be further en-, hanced. Speaking of service, the local ‘ firm supplies the six northern j townships of Adams county and two in northern Ohio with Culligan service. Bill Klinger works as a serviceman and regeneration specialist. An additional saleman will ■ be added to the staff within a few days. A special feature of the grand opening will be the 50 per cent discount available for those who desire a service installation. Prizes included in the festivites are a 1959 clock-rado, a free installation and six months free service, while the third prize will be free installations and three months free service. The president of the firm and the workers want to thank Decatur area residents for their patronage in the past and hope to continue their soft water service in this area in the future. The firm pledges continued good service and wishes that many customers and friends attend the grand opening to stop in and say “Hello.” Scout Meeting Is Held Lost Night Institutional representatives, committee members and troop leaders from Boy Scout troops 62. 63. and 65, and packs 3061 and 3063 met at the Decatur high school Thursday night with Steve Everhart. assistant district commissioner, to discus* their local problems.

DeVoss, legal advisor for the school city, Carl Bradley, architect, Mayor Robert Cole, general contractor Clarence Bultemeier, and many interested citizens. Actual construction of the building is already underway, as bultemeier told the school officials he wanted to take advantage of the good weather. He also wants to get as far along with the shell as possible, so the winter weather will not put a stop to the construction. It is not known yet whether the steel strike will slow down the construction of the building. Bultemeier said that his Fort Wayne sources can’t make delivery, but he is trying other suppliers in the state. Rural Churches UNION CHAPEL Evangelical United Brethren Emmett L.

THINGS HAVB become badly confused when "peace” seems to be a bad word. Believe it or not, there are people in the United States who think that any one interested in peace is a communist. That is not only bad logic, but it plays into the hands of the real communists. Their constant bad

Dr. Foreman

word for ua is “war - mongers,” a people who want war and will do anything to start one. This is not true of us as a nation, and yet people who turn againat the notion of peace are certainly glv-

Ing ammunition to anybody who likes to call us a bloodthirsty nation.

M WiHi a Whirlwind" The great prophets of the Old Testament did not admire war. They looked on it as something brought on by sin. One passage from Zechariah is a sample (7: 8-12). God had an ideal for his people, a life of justice, kindness and mercy. But the Israelites would not hear, and so God "scat tered them with a whirlwind . . •*’ As we know from the Old Testament histories, this whirlwind, the instrument of God’s wrath, his punishment on a nation that would not obey—this was nothing other than the wards which ended the Hebrew kingdoms. And the Hebrews, as the stories show, had chiefly themselves to blame for getting into those wars. Most of the recorded history of the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel is a history of wars, long or short. Very few of them did the Hebrews any good, and in the end it was war which, like a tornado, left their homes in ruins and blew them like straw across the face of the earth. Ideal City But the storm of war was not the last word of God to Israel. The prophet Zechariah, preaching iri a time when Jerusalem was only just beginning to rise from the ashes of more than half a century of desolation, looks forward and promi ises in God’s name a new and different kind of city. He draws no blueprints; but it is plainly a city of peace. This is not a foreview of heaven; it la a picture of the ideal city right here on this earth. It is to be called “the faithful city," that is, faithful to the laws of God. That covers everything; but Zechariah puts in some particulars. ■ Old men and old women will be sitting in the streets, and children will be playing there. (Remember the ancient type of city had no parks and no open space except the market-place; and there was no traffic except of very slow animals and people.) This you would not see in war time. In that era the aged and the very young and the weak simply died off in war times; only in times of peace would they be out there in large numbers. Haw Pean Demos Now children and old people do not make peace, they simply enjoy it. It is the middle-aged, the active influential people who do most either for peace or against it. So the prophet Zechariah addresses the great mass of the people about peace and prosperity (8:12). He speaks of “sowing’’ prosperity, and then goes on to put this figure of speech into very plain words. What are the seeds ? He goes on, still in the name of God: “These are the things that you shall do ...” If we want peace and prosperity, God will not drop them into our laps. He expects us to plan and prepare for peace just as we plan and prepare for a erop of apples. No man can raise an apple without the help of Nature (or, rather, of God). So while God’s ideal for the human world is a world at peace, there are certain conditions to bo met. The seeds of peace have to bo sown. Zechariah (8:18-17) names some specific things: truth and justice in particular. To say that war is the effect of sin is only half the truth. The other half is that peace is the fruit of public and private goodness. The most enduring peace is not an accident, it la not manna front the sky. It is a erop reaped by those who have worked hard sowing and cultivating the things that "are true and make for peace."

EVERYBODY SHOULD HELP Rev. James R. Meadows The work of the church is the business of the whole community. There are some who pass this off by thinking that everything that concerns the religious, the minister can shoulder the burden of life of an entire community. Or that he alone can and should bear the burdens and responsibility of thework in a particular congregation. “It’s his business; that’s what we are paying him tor." But is that fair and just? How is your business run? Does one man act as president, secretary, treasurer, purchasing agent, sales department, etc., etc? Even in the small unit of the family, is there not a division of responsibility? Therefore let us all work together with the church leaders and see the church attendance increase.
