Gives Free Taxi Rides To Church

ANGOLA, Iml , July 7—(UP» - Ray Myoi s. 2J-ypnr-old war veteran, drrvv plaudits today from Angola clergymen for an idea that has boosted church attendance and increased his taxi business US per cent. Myers jjives po iple free ridos to and I rum church on Sundays. The nine ministers in this Hoosier town of 8.000 said hil service has brought in backsliders in a way no church calls have done. One said many irregular at tenders apparently had come back ‘‘out of a sense of .shame' ’after the plan was started. Son.e said it was the first time they could remember that they haven't preached to almost empty churches during the summer. usually the "black season '

in church attendance. Myers, who served with th“ army in the Philippines, bought out the cab business with his army savings two years ago. I got tired of just cooling my heels on Sunday," he said. Three months ago he s.lnounced that his drivers wou'd give free rides to everyone who wanted to go to church aril take them home afterward. Myers' taxi service then consisted of two used cars and morr than "00 persons accepted h n offer on Blaster Sunday. His famdy had to pitch in to handle the jam His fanjer. Clyd" Myers, Sr., a truck driver, ami Clyde, Jr.. •20. took turns driving one car. Um. 13, was a dispatcher, and his mother, stsror, and 19-ye:«i-old wife,, Janie/, hamllrd the telephones. * » The plan helped improve the bus ness from the start. "A few people said we wrro wild and foolish," Myers said "But people remember us during

the week. In fact, some think up reasons to call taxis after we refuse their money on Sunday.” Tlie churchmen said they have been "truly amazed.” The pastor of St. Anthony’s Catholic church said the new spirit is "wonderful” The congregational minister, the Rev. Glenn L. mterback, said it was '‘splendid to see the old folks and invalids getting out to services now.” Myers ad nitted that he an 1 his drivers don’t attend enuren. ’’How can we go ourselves aru take other people?" Ml ST NTOKK NKW MIIKAT CROP ON FARMS INDIANIPOLLS, Ind.. July 7(INK) M. D. Guild, nianng-r of the Indiana Grain Cooperative, said today that Hoosier j may expect to get the suppot t wtietit 'growers. Who expect to [ price of about $2. Country el '- take advantage of the govern- I valors now are offering about mu t support price, must be I $1.70 to the farmer, prepared to store the new crop Wet wheat eacnot he dried

on the farm. Guild added that because of early deliver of corn under loan and purchase agreement, commerical storage will be inadequate. Eighteen million bushels of 1918 coin under loan and purchar.e agreement must be reseal h1 or delivered to the government by Oct. 1. Lee Patrick, also of the Ora': 1 Cooperative, said that because of damage being done by the angotimois moth and shortage on i he farm, at least I I million bushels of this corn will be delivered. The 1949 Indiana wheat crop is estimated at 40 million bushels. two million more than last year. If the farmer can provide his own storage Apace and is careful to harvest the wheat when it is fully ripe and dry, he

■ xecept by mechanical methodIf it is stored when the moistun content is more than 14 per cent, it is sure to become damaged, and may be reduced to feeding quality. Guild recommended that wheat be stored not deeper than six feet in the bin. He also abserved that grain harvested in the ear'/ forenoon may be from one to two per cent higher »i moisture than afternoon-harvested grain. { Farmers are again urged to provide their own storage and properly harvest their wheat if they exix'ct to be able to tak" advantage of the support price.
