WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FRIDAY, MARCH 7 St. Patrick’s Woman’s Gub will host the annual World Day of Prayer on Friday, March 7, in the school hall. The one-and-a-half hour program, including light refreshments, will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. E.S.T. Mrs. Nancy Kindt is chairman. World Day Os Prayer is a worldwide call to prayer observed by Christian women from each and every church in Walkerton and its surrounding community. “Choose Life" is the theme for 1986, articulating the hard choices women are called upon to make if peace is to be achieved in today’s world. This service is a challenge to women of the world from more than 170 countries and regions in the world. This service is a challenge to women of the world from Christian women of Australia who wrote this year's World Day of Prayer worship materials. It calls women to make decisions and take actions that will begin to change the injustices and inequities that cause suffering to count-

less numbers of the world’s people. World Day of Prayer, celebrated this year for the 99th consecutive year, began in the United States in 1887 as a day of prayer for mission by laywomen in the Presbyterian Church. It has spread worldwide and acts as a catalyst for women to come together in continuing relattionships of prayer and action for peace. Church Women United, sponsor of World Day of Prayer in the United States, is the ecumenical Movement that brings Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox women together into one Christian community of prayer, advocacy and service. Church Women United represents a broad spectrum of religions, traditions, race, age, economic status and ethnic background and works through a national unit. World Day of Prayer offerings make possible, in part, the mission of CWU, including the International Grants for Mission program that funds national and international projects. The program will include a skit under the direction of Martha Mull from the Walkerton United Methodist. Also taking part will be the Koontz Lake Missionary Church, Walkerton First Assemblyh of God, Walkerton First Baptist Church, Teegarden First Brethren, St. Dominick's at Koontz Lake, Tyner United Methodist, Walkerton First Presbyterian, Walkerton Pentecostal Church, and Walkerton Wesleyan Church. All women are urged to attend. Deadline March 1 For Letter Writing Campaign The threat of losing specific programs of the Cooperative Extension Service including the 4-H for youth and extension clubs is causing officials statewide to promote a letter-writing campaign to legislators. The deadline is March 1, so write a sincere letter expressing your views on President Reagan's budget cut for 1987 including a 60 percent reduction in the Federal Extension Budget. The budget for Extension in 1985 was $344 million; in 1986, $343 million, and following the GrammRudman Act, the 1986 budget was reduced to $328 million. The remaining 40 percent is specifically designated for the farm operator needs and allow no funds for 4-H, home economics, or community development programs. The cut would mean a $5 million loss to Indiana. When the President’s budget cuts were outlined at the Wednesday meeting of the Johnson Twp. Extension Homemakers Gub, the members went on record they would urge everyone to write a letter immediately. The letter should be dated with a return address. First identify yourself and the reason for writing (the budget cut). Explain how the Extension Service has benefited you and your family through their educational program. Many 4-H members and Homemakers have gained great knowledge through the programs offered. Sign your name. Addresses for legislators include: U.S. Sen. Richar Lugar, Senate Ag Committee 306 Hart Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 U. S. Sen. Dan Quayle, Senate Budget Committee 524 Hart Office Building Washington. D C. 20510 U. S. Rep. John Hiler 407 Cannon House Office Building Washington. D.C. 20515 A person breathes about seven quarts of air every minute. The average person takes from 12 to 18 breaths every minute.
