Rev. Busch On Pastors' Panel
TODAY’S BIBLE THOUGHT Neither do I condemn thee, go sin no more. John 8:11.—Humanity will forgive nearly any sin of men but women are in a different category. Even men throw' stones at women who share the same sins. Christ was chivalrous.
At the second session on Tuesday of the 1957 Convention of the Central District, Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod, in Fort Wayne, Rev. Edward Busch, pastor of Peace Lutheran Church, 411 East Walnut, appeared on a panel of pastors serving mission congregations in the District. The members of the panel were chosen because the nature of their work was representative of the more than 60 subsidized mission congregations of the church body in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Others on the panel discussed work with Negroes, college* students, suburban areas and industrial areas. Pastor Busch presented the work in a community wdiere there has been no previous activity of the Lutheran Church, and where there is little rapid influx of pop-
ulation.
Pastors, teachers and delegates from over 300 congregations are in attendance at this convention. At the session today Rev. Ottomar Krueger of Akron, Ohio was relected as president of the Central District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

Greencastles Little Leaguers now agree with the old saying, “it never rains but it pours.”
Maybe you have wondered the same thing, but we keep thinking that perhaps the recent nuclear tests in the Nevada desert have caused the unusual amount of rain that we have been experiencing for the past few weeks.
We read that some scientists say this is not possible and then there are those who say the atomic explosions could affect weather conditions.
Of course we don’t know, but v/hen you deal with elements that make up our universe, any thing might happen, but let’s hope it don’t.
Incidentally, have you seen any “flying saucers?”

It’s rather odd that reports on the saucers have been far apart lately.
We understand, in a round about way, that these mysterious objects are still being seen by pilots.
We also understand that all commercial airline pilots must report any sighting of these flying objects to their nearest control tower immediately.
One thing is certain, the government has clamped down on all saucer publicity from the military standpoint.
We read the other day about a pilot who said one of the saucers flew around his big plane at a speed of “1,000 miles an hour.”
The pilot said his ship was about 30,000 feet up and travelling better than 300 miles an hour when the saucer overtook him, circled the plane, and then roared away to vanish in the distance.

Now the United States and Russia are trying to launch earth satellites to fly in outer space so why couldn’t these mystery saucers be from another planet ?
Why couldn’t there b e life on some other planet that has a civilization far more advanced than ours?
Anyway, the subject is food for
thought.
And speaking of celestial bodies, did you ever look'at the moon through a big telescope?

HARRISBURG MAN HURT IN FALL 12 YEARS AGO
A number of years ago, we saw the moon by means of the telescope in the DePauw Observatory. To our untrained eye it resembles a big, green cheese.
We are told that the lines on the moon are canals and that it is very cold there and that it is most doubtful if any form of life exists.
Consequently, anyone wishing to take a trip to the moon in the future can have my seat on a space ship.
But getting back down to earth again, the annual Bainbridge Street Fair in full swing due to the hard work and cooperation of the Volunteer Fire Department.
HARRISBURG, 111. (UP)—Anderson C. Stroder, Harrisburg, has begun his 12th year as a Harrisburg Hospital patient. He says he has outlived six doctors who told him he would die. Strader was injured June 4, 1946, when he was helping put a roof on a building. He fell through a hole and dropped 40 feet on a pile of old bricks. Strader was unconscious for days. Doctors despaired of his • chances. He was paralyzed from the waist down, could not speak and had only limited use of one arm. But he fought back. He regained his speech and the use of his arms. However, his legs remain paralyzed. Strader decided that the way to keep happy despite these odds was to keep busy. “An occupied mind is a happy mind,” he said. During 11 years in the hospital Strader has read his Bible through nine times, collected 1,500 stamps, written 160 poems, entertained thousands of visitors and written to people in 45 states and 13 foreign countries. With his deft, muscular hands, he has turned out 28 quilts, 394 clothespin baskets, 294 cushion tops, 96 aprons and 284 pothold-
ers.
He has received some 300 souvenirs and trinkets from 37 states and 13 foreign countries. They are attached to a metal rod around his bed. And Strader remembers who sent each of them.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UP) — The angry policeman and the spirited young woman who fulfilled her life’s ambition by hurling a sandwich in his face will confront each other in court to-
day.
Miss L/ucille Douty, 28. haled into court under $50 bond, had her explanation ready for the judge: “It was worth it. I always wanted to throw something at a cop.” Patrolman Bemie Hyman, described as one of ‘‘Miami Baeche’s best,”, had packed a lot of his outraged feelings into words he blurted into his prowl car radio while ham, bnTtd and goo dripped from his face: ’’Get that car!” Miss Douty admitted to patrolmen who halted her sports ‘car 17 blocks later that she had eased the convertible alongside the ! unsuspecting officer wearing the | natty uniform and let go with her missile. Paper plate, dirty napkin, ham sandwich and mustard splattered right on his face. Then Miss Douty who was driving several friends, zoomed away. Hyman, still "burning" several hours later, said, “It was deliberate, all right.”
High Winds Hit In Many Areas A band of tornadic storms spread from Colorado to West Virginia today. Heavy rains accompanying the storms touched off floods in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Nebraska. Most of the tornado activity during the night was concentrated in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes regions with twisters sighted near Detroit, Mich Charleston, W. Va„ Warsaw, Tenn., and Cincinnati and Water-
ville, Ohio.
No serious damage or injuries were reported from any of the funnel clouds. Earlier, twisters were reported near Frankton, Colo.; Columbus, Neb.; Monroe, Neb.; Damascus, Ark.; Sioux, Iowa, and Ellin-
wood, Kan.
Considerable property damage occurred in the twisters near Damascus and Monroe, Neb., but no injuries were reported. Heavy thunderstorms with wind gusts up to 75 m.p.h. left a trail of damage in Kentucky, Ohio Centra] Pennsylvania and South centra] New York. The windstorm ripped Ohio Thursday afternoc\ uprooting trees and downing utility lines in many sections of the state. One inch hailstones peppered Bellefontaine, Ohio. Large areas of Toledo were blacked out for hours due to felled power lines. Columbus was doused by a one-half inch rainfall in 11 minutes. Walton and Warsaw in Northern Kentucky were buffeted by winds up to 60 m.p.h., damaging power and telephone lines. Trees, trolley lines and power lines also were toppled by the severe storms in Pennsylvania. A half-inch rain during a one-hour period yesterday caused major traffic jams in Pittsburg. At Corning, N. Y., trees and power lines were blown down and at least two homes were
damaged.
The widespread storm front was caused by a meeting of warm air from the South and cool air
