LETTERS Box 1225 San Juan Texas, 78589 May, 1967 Dear Friends, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my pith.” Pisa. 119:115. We praise the Lord for his blessing in Mexico this past month. The first of May the churches had their quarterly convention at a little village called Urbano de La Rosa. The little church was packed every night with many standing and sitting outside listening. A large number came Who had never heard the Gospel before. We are iso happy for those who accepted the Lord as their Saviour and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This church has a fine pastor. He is fully capable to care for these new ones and for the Church. The church building, in this village, was dedicated one night of the convention. The structure is simple and yet very suitable.

Bro. Mila Miller land the cement blocks with the help of the people of the village. Oartlyle helped with the building until we started to school. We helped the Highs move the clothing from their garage to the new building at their home. This was built to store the clothing Ithalt is senit until it is needed at various places in Mexico. We helped sort and arrange many boxes and barrels of clothing. We packed coats and blankets into conitainers for storage until they are needed this fall. Sis. High, Carolina Garza, a Bible School student, and I made up 30 baby bundles. A special “Thank You” to you who have given your new and used clothing. If any would like to help us, we can always use any good used clothing for we never seem to have enough to meet the need. School is almost over both for Brenlt and Terry and for Carlyle and I. We have only one more week in which we have our final exams. We are asking the Lord to guide us this summer. Please

continue to pray with us for we Want the perfect will of the Lord in our lives. He has promised to lead his children and He does inOt fail. Phaise the LordWe thank the Lord for his care for us. He is a good God and Father. Many times we have stood in amazement at the way the Lord has supplied our needs. When God calls you to a task, you can be absolutely sure He Will supply What you need in order to perform the task. Thank you for all your letters. Every day Carlyle and I look forward to mail-time. So do write and keep on praying for us and for Mexico. Our hearts reach out to these people, for so few have heard that Jesus loves them too 'and their sins can be forgiven if they will believe and accept Him. May the Lord bless you and yours. Your Missionaries to Mexico, Carlyle and Freida Wedty DECLARES DIVIDEND Dean H.

FIRST AMERICAN ARMY v (No. 1 of a Series) In 1787, Lt. Col. Josiah Harmar, Commander in Chief of the Army of the United States, was ordered to Vincennes to dispossess a lawless element which had taken over ithe place. He was ordered to leave a command there to maintain tranquility, guard against Indian attack and make some show of force in the “western” country. By July 10, 1787, he was camped on the Ohio River near Newburgh (Indiana). He sent a detachment on down the Ohio River in boats carrying most of Ms provisions and equipment and instructions to proceed up the Wabash River to Vincennes. Harnar and the army marched north, cross country. The detachment with the fleet consisted of a major, a captain, two subalterns (lieutenants), a surgeon’s mate (doctor) ,four sergeants, four corporals, two musicians and ninety privates. Following is part of Col. Harmar’s report to Secretary at War, General Henry Knox, in Philadelphia: “Camp at Post Vincennes August 7, 1787 Sir, I had the honor of addressing you last on the 7th ult. (July) from camp on the Kentucky shore, just below the rapids of the Ohio (Louisville). On the ©fch ult. Captain Zeigler (David Zedgler of Pennsylvania) with a party & an adequate number of boats, was detached from thence with the provisions. On the Bth we embarked with the remainder of the fleet, & arrived on the morning of the 10th iat the rocks or the landing and crossing place, called also the Delaware Old Town, about eight miles above Green River, & one hundred & eighty miles below the rapids. In the afternoon of the same day, I detached Major (John Francis) Hamitramck (of New Ybrk) with a party of one hundred men to conduct the w.hq’le fleet from the landing ( to /he mouth of the Wabash, & then ascend the river for Post Vincennes. On the morning of the eleventh, with the residue of the troops, I took up the inclosed order of march with our cattle in the centre: in very warm weather, and the men being obliged to carry fifteen days’ flour upon their backs, rendering it very fatiguing. A due north course from the tending & carrying place would have struck the post in fifty miles distance from the Ohio but we were obliged to oblique for the sake of waiter. On the 16th we forded the White River (a considerable stream) about fifteen males below the forks (near Hazel!ton, Indiana), and arrived at Post Vincennes on ithe 171 th noon. The whole march computed to be about seventy miles. From the OMo (where we set out) to the White River we had la very difficult march, the country being full of thickets, scarce of Water, but afterwards we marched through fine open woods & large prairies of natural meadows, & encamped on the banks of the

Wabash. (The Army camped on the present site of George Rogers dark’s Memorial, then the location of Ft. Patrick Henry. Shortly, Hairmar moved a few hundred yards upstream to camp about the ifoott of present Buntiin street in Vincennes). On the 18tfh we were visited by Colonel Legras (Jean Marie Phillippe Le Gras), the magistrate, & the principal French inhabitants, welcoming us upon our arrival. Their behavior was most respectfully submissive. In the afternoon of the same day, finding the Wabash River so low & difficult to ascend, I detached a serjeant & twenty men in three barges & five pettiaugers (small boats) to meet Major HamItramck, & lighten the fleet. Post Vincennes is a very considerable village situated upon the Wabash, about one hundred & twenty miles from the mouth; it contains near four hundred houses (log & bark), outhouses, barns, etc. The number of the inhabitants about nine hundred (souls) French, and about four hundred (Souls) Americans. . . . •Monsieur Vincennes, the French officer from whom it derives its name, I am informed was here & commenced the settlement sixty years ago. (A considerable number of Americans in Vincennes were men and families brought by Gen. George Rogers Clark during his several expeditions to Vincennes). Major Hamtramck did not arrive with the boats until the 25th, having been eleven days on very severe fatiguing duty ascending the Wabash. He was obliged to leave Ensign Ryker Sedam (Cornelius Ryker Sedam of New Jersey) with a party with the cloth--ipg, all the whiskey & chief part of the flour at the mouth of the Wabash, the water being so shoal that the boafSxcould not ascend the river ” PREVENT STRAWBERRY HARVEST ROT Prevent strawberry harvest rot by applying a fungicide now, just as the first blossoms are starting to open. Losses from molds on ripe strawberries at harvest time can be serious in years when cool wet weather prevails during picking time. Harvest rots of strawberries are caused by common molds that live in the soil, and they generally do not cause diseases that affect Other parts of the strawberry plant. Purdue University extension plant pathologists and horticulturists say harvest rots can be controlled by applying Oaptan either as a spray or dust. Be sure to follow label directions in preparing and using this material. A second, third and possibly a fourth application will be necessary by picking time. It is believe>d that the sea currents distribute excess heat from the tropics to the temperature zones as much as the winds do. School children in Russia attend classes 6 days per week 10 months out of the year, with an average of 4 hours of homework each evening.

Strictly Personal I D.E.N. Since returning from the newspaper workshop, we're full of ideas how to improve the product. Experts say not to make changes too rapidly, so we'll be experimenting a little at a time. Notice anything different about the front page. We're hampered at the moment because the linotype is acting up, causing those little lines between the letters. But help is on the way, we're told. ★ ★ ★ Another name we'd suggest for the new high school (we still hate Wa-Nee as a name), would be the James Wright High School, because nobody worked harder for it under more difficult conditions than did Jim. ★ ★ ★ Last week's Newsweek had a critique of the "Bobby-Ronnie Show", the television program with Reagan and Kennedy. May-t be we liked it so well because we emphatically agreed. It said that the whole thing left poor Bobby blinking. ★ ★ ★ If your middle name is something funny like Bealzebub, the truth comes out as diplomas are presented. ★ ★ ★ Gil Jenkins, back for Rick's graduation, defined a hoosier as a guy who bounces a basketball and looks for mushrooms while watching the Indianapolis 500. ★ ★ ★ In our estimation, the most ridiculous custom in Nappanee is the "initiation" of incoming freshmen. People from out of town get a lousy impression when they see some big oaf chasing a little girl down the street. The only ones who benefit are the sellers of lipstick. ★ ★ ★ Further comment on the traffic jams at fires. An Elkhart radio station always puts the news right on the air before the fire engines have time to get there. The State Police say it's a pain in the neck, and, if they waited a short time, it would certainly help. ★ ★ ★ There was another swarm of bees in our neighborhood, and Otto Beer was called. He said that a warm spell in March followed by the cold in May, had been hard on bees. He said that too many of them were born, and there now isn't enough to feed them until the clover blooms. He also said that the various sprays now being used are hard on both the bees and the birds. ★ ★ ★ The terrible crime in Nappanee naturally affects anyone in town who has a little girl. When a sweet little person is involved in something so brutal, the inclination is to feel nothing but strong hate toward the man. The papers, especially this one, have more data on the whole affair. But with this new law, so many things can happen to prevent ultimate conviction. However, congratulations are in Order for both the Nappanee and the Bremen police departments. However unpleasant it may be, it is a good idea to let our little girls know about the dangers of talking to strange men. The farmer gets about 3 cents for the wheat that makes a 25c loaf of bread.

TB Board Has 4 New Directors 4 new directors of the Elkhart Cos. Tuberculosis Association attended an indoctrination meeting this week. Present were: Mrs. Russell Gard and Mr. Doris Lee Danner of Elkhart, and Miss Orpah Mosemann and Mrs. Walter Wogomon of Goshen. The sbh new director, Mr. Frank A. Algate, was unable to attend. Among other points of information, they received the results of .the X-ray survey conducted in April: 3,310 individuals were checked in the mobile unit, of whom 1,387 were over the age of 45. Interpretations and the follow-up done by ECTA has been completed, with the following results: Six were screened out as suspected TB cases; 36 for other lung Conditions; 28 as having heart conditions, and 24 were named as having other conditions of concern. All TB suspects are immediately asked to have large X-rays, and other individuals screened out are reported to their private physicians, and are so informed. Negative reports are mailed to all people whose X-rays were interpreted as showing no pathology. After January 1, 1968, no State Board of Health X-ray equipment will be available. This matter has been discussed by ECTA’s Board in a search for a substitute method of checking for Tuberculosis. The Board Eradication Committee will hold its first meeting of the year on June 12, at which time it will make suggestions as to Other methods. These suggestions will be discussed by the Board at its regular meeting on June 29. There is no place on earth where one can travel from 1,300 below sea level to 9,000 feet above sea level, in a few hours, except Palestine.

TIME TO CLIP HEDGES Formal or uniformly clipped hedges should begin to receive attention now, according to Purdue University extension horticulturists. Privets, one of the most popular and successful formal hedges, should be clipped now as growth brings a ragged .appearance. Most other hedges will need clipping .before long. The horticulturists recommend providing your formal hedge with .proper training when it is young. This can be the difference between having a row of bushes and having a dense, attractive hedge. Start as soon as there is six inches of new growth. Clipped hedges need ;training at least two times a year until they reach the height you want them. Never train past August, and make sure the base of your hedge is wider than the top. To keep your hedge In top condition, water thoroughly when it’s dry. It’s also a good idea to mix fertilizer into the stoil surface near Ithe hedge every spring, using two pounds of 10-6-4 or its equivalent, per 100 feet of hedge. Buy U.S. Savings Bonds.
