LETTERS Dear Editor: Greetings in Jesus name. As an Amish reader of your paper, I noticed your suggestion of buggy races directed primarily to the Amish people. This is not to criticize anyone, but only to give a matter-of-fact answer to your suggestion. There is occasional buggy-racing done by some younger men, but, without father knowing it. And there have been Fathers known to race their horses, but, not to the approval of the elders in the church, with scriptural grounds. We as a God-fearing people, should be lovers of God, more than lovers of pleasure. II Tim. 3:1-4. There is a joy and a place to be found that for excels the fun and pleasures of this world, so I hope there will be no buggy-rac-ing staged in Nappanee for the young Amish men. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not parish, but have everlasting life. “John 3:16. I hope this also answers to our Middelbury friends. Sincerly, An Amish friend (Editor’s note) Since we have come from Chi-

cage, we have made many friends among the Amish. We admire and respect their faith and feel that probably only in America could they continue the practice of their customs with as little interference as they get. It would never be our thought \o exploit the Amjsh as a “Tourist attraction”. They have a right to there privacy as 0o ghyother people in this great country. The writer of the above letter is a fine man. We would hate to embarrass him in any way. However, we feel, that the Amish do demonstrate their love of God over pleasure in many ways, and that no one would think less of their love if they were to engage in a race. Many of the younger Amish have participated in the church slow pitch games. They’ve fielded fine teams, ahd have exhibited tremendous sportsmanship. They’ve been a great credit to the Amish people. Their participaation has developed many lasting friendships and a great admiration of the team spirit of these young men. This has been good for the whole community. Long before our time, there was bitterness among different groups around this community. Long afterwards we’ve heard traces of this feeling over what was then a crucial issue. It’s time that any vestige of this feeling be erased, and it's time we all work together as neighbors and friends. We honestly felt that something like a buggy race would help to develope a better feeling of understanding without allowing the Amish to compromize in any way the strong convictions they hold. We still believe it could be done with dignity and with a high purpose of bringing us all together in a common day of fellowship. SHOP IN NAPPANEE!

'Hi DOUG GOLDEN

It has’ always been a bit surprising how cowboys in TV westerns could be such inveterate poker players on their pay which wasn’t anything to write home about. At any rate, occasional reference is made during these sessions to a “Dead Man’s Hand”. Despite the controversy regarding the makeup of this hand, the real scoop is this: A “Dead Man’s Hand” is black aces and eights, the hand held by “Wild Bill’ Hickok at the moment he was shot from behind by a certain “Crooked Nose” Jack McCall during a poker game in Deadwood, S.D. If yor TV is as useless as a busted straight, call on your troubleshootin’ ace in the hole DOUG’S TV CENTER. It’s a cinch bet that you will get quick, economical TV repair when you deal us in. For better work it has to be DOUG’S TV CENTER, 1606 E. Market. Phone 6960.
