Mrs. Liby offers encouragement to class 3 of the “educable" group, who might be classed according to the hands of the clock on the wall as “10 o’clock scholars.”

Monday evening, the Rev. Oswald A. Waech, of St. Louis, concluded his part in the local series. He began by comparing two famous prisoners — Napoleon and St. Paul. “Napoleon had been responsible for the shedding of much Mood, had memories of destruction, loved no one. and wondered , - * YOU CAN HAVE a more abundant life with Christ as its center.

on his deathbed whether any one cated about him.' St. Paul had blessed memories of salvation through Christ, loved all of his fellow men, and was deeply confident that Christ cared for him." The guest missioner recalled that Timothy hurried to Rome to be with St. Paul before he was beheaded. Delay would have been disastrous. “Christ must be accepted today—not tomorrow, when it may be too late.” The children present again participated in an object lesson. Rev. Waech showed them a “wordless book.” Its black pages symbolized sin and death. Its red pages represented the blood of Jesus. Then followed a white page to show that sins had been forgiven. The gold pages represented the golden streets of heaven and the green pages were the color of growth in faith in Christ. After the services the head of synods evangelism department again talked to Zion's lay visitors, and encouraged them to continue their friendship visits. Later, the speaker also talked to the church council on the role they must play in evangelism. He emphasized that evangelism is the church's most important project. Rev. Waech returned to St. Louis

today after hearing reports from the nine participating congregations in the Decatur P.T.R. These report meetings with the 18 clergymen,''' the nine host pastors and nine guest missioners, are held at St. Paul’s Lutheran church at Preble each morning. The public is invited to attend tonight's informal services. The Zion choir will sing “God Bless our Land” and “The Lord Bless You and Keep You."

Opportunity School Open House Sunday

Six years of dedicated service to the training and educational needs of exceptional children will be commemorated when “open house” is observed at the Vera Cruz Opportunity School Sunday, Nov. 20. The public is earnestly invited to attend from 1 to 5 p.m. displays which will include the school itself and classroom facilities. The accent, though, will be on the work of students who not too many years ago would not have had the opportunity to show what they could do. In a far from small way they have been able to rise above what they could not do. Vera Cruz Opportunity School was organized in January of 1955. | Until the end of that school year it operated as a private school supported by parents of the stu-; dents, the Wells County Society for Crippled Inc. and by gifts from! friends and organizations interest-! ed in the work which was being done. Parents Ready Building It has been housed since its beginning in the former Vera Cruz public school building, which operated in conjunction with Poplar Grove Elementary School for students in Harrison Twp. The Opportunity School came into being because a group of parents and Lloyd C. Lieurance, county superintendent of schools, were aware of the need for training and education of retarded children. The parents did much of the labor necessary to prepare the school building, abandoned a year earlier, for its new use. In the fall of 1955 the school opened as a public school of special classes under the direction of Harrison Twp. Trustee Ervin (Pat> Randall. It has retained a state license as a public school since that time. 36 Students Enrolled With a continued annual enrollment increase, the school now has 36 students and a staff of three engaged in instruction on a fulltime basis. Supt. Lieurance is director of the school program, which comes under jurisdiction of the county educational system office. The present staff includes twc licensed teachers, Mrs. Al (Frieda > Liby, who is also principal, and Mrs. Hugh iEsther) Cobb. Mrs. viva Inskeep teaches music and crafts. Harold Johnson spends two days a week as shop instructor on a volunteer basis, and Mrs. Ka thle <; n Rwear and Mrs. Cletus Mane) Geels also have assisted as volunteer teachers. The school cafeteria,, operated with purchases and finances co-

ordinated with Poplar Grove, is managed by Mrs. Lloyd (Pauline) Fiechter and janitor service is done by Mr. and Mrs. Adam Frauhiger.

Officers of the organization are Lloyd Fiechter, Harrison, president; Mrs. Marshall Archbold, Union, vice president; Mrs. Harold Andrews, Bluffton, treasurer; Mrs. Russell Huffman, Bluffton, recording secretary, and Mrs. Eleanor Sprunger, Geneva, corresponding secretary. The executive committee consists of the officers and committee chairmen, Paul Baumgartner, Mrs. Carl Hildebrand, both of | Adams county, and Russell Huffman, Bluffton. All officers must be parents of students in the school. A visit was made recently to the Sheltered Workshop in Muncie to investigate its methods of operation. The Fort Wayne State School also was visited, with particular attention paid to the area of occupational therapy. As a result of the visits, a meeting of parents, representatives from the Society for Crippled and ' Mental Health Association was | held during August in the county j superintendent’s office. At this i time it was decided to expand the * school program through the use of | volunteers as the first step toward a workshop. Rooms Now Crowded Such a program Would provide facilities for special training for ■ older students who already have I achieved their scholastic capabili ities. It was agreed to use building and I improvement funds of $8,762.11 to start the construction of a work-; shop. The added space of the workshop would alleviate crowding in the present classrooms. Woodworking machines and tools I | now are set up at one end of a i classroom on the lower level of i the school building which is also j used for crafts and music classes.: On the same level is the school cafeteria, containing kitchen and i lunch room. 1 The second floor has two classrooms for other training and education. Community Interest Helps , C. K. Reed, who for five years ■has served as treasurer of the i Society for the Crippled, is treasJ urer of the special committee i which handles the building fund for the Opportunity School. I The school has succeeded mainly! through hard work on the part of persons interested in its service. Community interest and goodwill have aided in the financing and general morale. Students, parents and the community all have benefitted by its existence. Participants in the program and its administration are’ hoping for continued cooperation and unselfish efforts for its further success and growth. Mrs. Max Fosnaugh and Mrs. Paul Baumgartner have served as co-chairmen of the open house committee. They have been assisted by Supt. Lieurance, Mrs. Leroy Wibel. Mrs. Justus Webber and Mrs. Jack Eisaman.

The investigation was announced last month after an Eastern Airlines Electra crashed ito Boston Harbor. It was the fifth major accident invoiving one at the jet-prop planes. Subcommittee Chairman John Bell Williams, D-Miss., said he intended to “go into the Electra aircraft and see whether the Federal Aviation Agency and the Civil Aeronautics Board have taken he proper steps.” He said the most important objective of the hearings would be to find out "what is being done to protect the public in connection with this aircraft."

Lockheed is making certain structural modifications on all Electras. Williams said the investigation would find out whether any “defect in the plane is being remedied.”
