Beme Recreation (enncil To Receive SBOO.OO From Chest yv* * The Berne Recreation Council is another of the agencies which will benefit from the Berne Community Chest. A total of SBOO.OO is earmarked for this council. The Berne Recreation Council has the responsibility of planning future recreational facilities and the maintenance of existing ones. One of the projects completed in recent years was lighting the baseball field at Lehman Park. At present th£ group is considering the possibility of providing ice skating facilities for community youth during the winter months. Besides providing recreation facilities the organization also supplies expendable equipment such as bats and balls to organizations whose purpose is to provide recreation for Berne children. Typical organizations taking advantage of this are the Little League and Pony League. Equipment is also stored at the park stand during the summer months for picnicers who wish to play volleyball, softball or table tennis. KHRUSCHEV HINTS BERLIN PACT LIKELY (Continued from page one) 4. Khrushchev offered to go anywhere at any time for a summit meeting of the big powers. He suggested Geneva as a likely place. 5. Khrushchev plugged his total disarmanent proposal. He said this should indicate to Americans that the Soviet Union believes “the development of disarmament should be accompanied by the development of control” and inspection. These are the key issues in East-West disarmament but the specific Soviet proposal which accompanied Khrushchev's U. N. speech clung to Moscow demands which the West, already has rejected. 6. The Soviet premier told his news conference he and Eisenhower found “a great deal in common in our understanding of our positions and of the need to improve relations between our two countries.” He promised all efforts “to end the cold war and improve Soviet-American relations.” SUGGESTIONS GIVEN ON HOW TO AVOID CORN PICKER MISHAPS (Continued from page one) necessary.” “If clogging does occur, by all means shut off the power takeoff before leaving the tractor," Willsey adds.

YOUTH RALLY HELD HERE ON SATURDAY (Continued irom page One) of Keith Kingsley, Peter Stucky, Sheldon Bixler and George Luginbill from, the Berne-French school. Mexico, gateway to Latin Amer-

ica, was brought into focus by word and colored slides by John Mark Hill, representative of the World Evangelization Crusade, who attended the 11th YFC Congress held there last month. Mexico, a land of four and oqehalf million people, is a land of real heart need and evangelical leaders there called this Congress Mexico's hour. In spite of tremendous opposition, God worked in miracle power. God does not spell opposition like we do. He spells it with opportunity and thousands of additional people heard the Word of God because of the opposition. Mr. Hill based his message on Romans 1:16 and Romans 2:7-9. Announcement was made for the October rally when the film entitled “The Great Discovery” will be shown and a rally by Harold Walker on the 14th of November. Rev. O. Carl Brown, missionary to Haiti, led in the closing prayer.
