LENTEN DEVOTION The crucifixion of Jesus Christ has turned men to the redeeming love of God more than any other event in history .This is unique because tragedy often leaves us confused, bewildered, and questioning the goodness of God. Tragedy causes our faith to falter. It makes us wonder if life is worm uvmg. Witness the case of the Psalmist David. He almost lost himself as he looked back over the tragic affaire of his nation. In discouragement and despair he cried out, “My God, my God! Why hast Thou forsaken me?” Witness our own reaction to tragedy: “If God is good, how can He allow this to happen to me?” How much like the early disciples of Jesus! Crushed and broken by the crucifixion, life was empty and pointless. Peter, using the only crutch he had left, went fishing. But notice the turn of events when these same persons began meeting dally In the Upper Room to pray, ana to ponder the circumstances that led to the crucifixion. Their discouragement turned to hope. Their despair turned to faith. Their weakness turned to strength. Their loss turned to gaip. In short, the redeeming love of God in Christ Jesus made them new persons. God led them to Himself, and they found something to live for again. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ can do this for us too, for it always leads to the redemption of mankind. Rev. Howard E. Walker Pastor of EUB Church Ghauncey Hochstetlers and Fanny Kuhns called on Mrs. Savilla Miller Sunday .

LETTERS Dear Editor, and the people of Nappanee, one of the nicest small cities of the U. S. We tax payers pay taxes for a city, let’s have one and keep it a clean and healthy city. - We have garbage collectors hut there are people who wrap their garb* age in paper and! put it in cartons in back yards. Then the dogs tear the paper and drag garbage all over other folks’ lawns. Whoever lives in a neighborhood like that know’s what I mean . The owners of dogs running loose seem to think if they pay dog tax, they have the right to let the dogs run loose. They must not know the Indiana law on loose dogs. So we pay taxes for a city, let’s have one. It’s up to us. Name withheld Red Cross May Have First Aid Class In Nap.

Patch Streets as Frost Prevents Major Repair Street department crews are out patching chuckholes in the main traffic lanes, while waiting for frost to go out of the ground so the streets can be rolled. Mayor Clouse explains that it takes about SSO of blacktop per block just to keep streets passable, hut that each SSO spent now will equal several times that much if the chuckholes were left to get larger some time as the weather permits general street repairs . Upon advice of street engineers, the street edges where blacktop is thin and the base not very good will be rolled out as soon as frost is gone, to try and work the cracked stations into tlie clay base. Work on the parking lot also has to wait for warmer weather. The late snow is also preventing the school board from completing plans for its improvement of the streets around the high school. The last legislature voted to allow school coropo rations to spend money from the cumulative fund on major street Improvements. This recognizes the general problem everywhere of new schools being built out from the center of town thus reversing the normal traffic pattern and requiring new streets. MIDDESINGERS AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCP Sunday at 7 p.m. in First N ennonite church the Middesinger ; wifi present a sacred concert. A singing group of about lb members from around Middlebury, this interdenominational chorus sings under the direction of Mrs. Doris Davis Kurtz.

About 14 numbers will be presented at the concert Admission is free but an offering will be taken.

“Consolidation will get more for tax dollars,’’ Miller declared. “A step toward communism,” one of the question notes sent to the speaker charged. “If it is not mandatory, why does the state come to have the last word," one question asked, Miller answered, “You vote.” "If we (Union Twp) join with New Paris, Wakarusa or Nappanee, would we have to help pay-off their school debts, said another question. “You probably would,” said Miller, adding he favors helping pay-off. (Transfers to high school from the townships pay a proportionate share of the lease rentals In the transfer fees per student.) Miller explained that if a plan for anew consolidation drawn by bis commission, after public hearing and passed by the state, is defeated at a referendum, the commission starts allover for a consolidation plan that will pass. “Wear ‘cm down” said one opponent. Some women voicing opinion after the meeting talked as if they accept the consolidation plans as inevitable.

Many people figure that since the car they are considering has historically had a “low-price” name it must be, in fact, a low-price car. This, at one time, was true. But today the names of cars, as you may know, have very little to do with their prices. Many cars with traditional low-price names cost more than Mercury—a name you have always associated with higher price cars. Our point is this: A Mercury Monterey, with de luxe appointments, is now priced s3l to $66 less* than any of the best selling Fords, Chevrolets, and Plymouths (the V-8 powered Galaxies, Impalas, and Furys). Yet Mercury offers you far more of everything you want in a car.

MERCURY ADDS UP TO A BETTER LOW-PRICE CAR— Mercury has a 7 to 8 inch longer wheelbase than Galaxie, Impala, and Fury + 289 to 494 pounds more weight + up to 23% more insulation + more spacious passenger compartment +Tself-adjusting brakes + up to 28% more visibility + more luxurious interior + finer quality (every Mercury is road-tested before it is shipped, not just spot-checked as all other low-price cars) Smoother ride, extra satisfaction.

Some new-car buyers are skeptical when we , tell them this price story. Here are some of the questions they ask—and our answers: Q“Do you mean Mercury is now a low- • price car? Did you reduce prices?” • . ' • • ft ' A “Yes. Monterey prices are now $174 • lower, and include many extras that are now standard equipment.” Q“But in your price comparison, aren’t • you talking about a ‘stripped’ Mercury —with rubber mats, plain interiors, no equipment, no glamour?” A “No, we’re talking about a de luxe- • appointed Monterey with beautiful nylon interior and deep, thick carpeting. The comparison is fair.” Q“Do all Monterey models have as good • a price story?” A “Yes, within a few dollars. It’s the • most amazing value story ever offered. Just read below.”
