Mr. Forst Fuller presented Miss Ruth Latshaw who gave a talk on the “History of Early Alaska.’’ This state is about three times the size of Texas and has the highest mountain in the United States, Mt. McKinley. There is supposition that at one time Asiaand Alaska were joined, but if not, there were many islands not far apart by which the men with the use of kayaks could have come across by way of the Bering Strait. These people settled on the Aleutian Islands first and then came inland. The Atha-Bascam and the Tinglit Indian lived in the central and eastern parts. The Russians took over for about one hundred years. President Lincoln appointed William H. Seward Secretary of State. Seward served the government successfully in many ways, and when Russia decided to sell Alaska, Seward made negotiations and purchased it in 1867 for about 2 cents per acre. This was considered “Seward’s Folly" for many years. During the social hour the hostess served delicious refreshments and the travels to Alaska were discussed.

The author, a British economist, clearly and concisely presents economic, political and moral reasons why the world’s economic scale is tipped in our favor. Twenty percent of the world’s population control 80 percent of the world’s wealth and this book provides a philosophical interpretation and the moral implications of such a lopsided world.

The program, being offered at all Circles this week, was designed to give the members knowledge and understanding of this particular world condition as preparation for the next general meeting of the WSCS on November 21. At this time the three members from Gobin Church who spent a month working with the people of Bolivia will share their experiences and insights in another part of this Lopsided World.

Bellringers Rained Out RATTERY, England <UPI) — The bells of St. Mary's never ring when it rains. Water pours through holes in the spire and soaks the 10 bellringers despite their raincoats and umbrellas. Now the little parish has decided to spend $31,000 for repairs, including the spire. “It wasn’t only the bellringers who suffered.” said the Rev. Herbert Knights. “Rainwater sometimes shortcircuited the electricity meters and plunged the church into darkness. It was becoming really dangerous.”

Bible Thought

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus.-Romans 15:5. It is said that little men quarrel about the things on which they disagree whereas big men discuss the things on which they do agree. Real estate sales up in Greencastle Real Estate activity in Greencastle zoomed in the third quarter of 1968. The third strong quarter showing brings the 1968 real estate activity ahead of the previous record year of 1966. These conclusions are drawn from Real Estate statistics compiled by James E. Ross of the Greencastle Federal Savings and Loan Association. Ross stated “The real estate sales for Greencastle in the amount of over $578,000 were by far the strongest quarter ever recorded for Greencastle. This brings 102 sales for the year to date with a total of $1,287,542. This total activity is 50% ahead of 1967 and slightly ahead of 1966.’’ While sales declined in 1967 by a large margin, the mortgages made this year were only slightly ahead of 1967 and have not reached the total of 1966. Surprisingly too, is the figure that shows the number of residential permits exceeds previous years but the dollar amounts were less. A breakdown of other building permits is not maintained because such large undertakings, such as Hogate Hall and similar constructions, tend to distort the year-to-year comparison. Martha Circle collect items for service men The Mary Martha Circle of the First Baptist Church met at the home of Mrs. Freda Collins on Oct. 1st. The meeting was opened with singing of “What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Lois Clark introduced a new guest, Peggy Saucerman, who spoke of the work of the Tubercular Association and of the work being done in our community. The Circle members will help address envelopes to be sent to the DePauw Students. Roll call was answered by 11 members. Regular business was conducted. Articles had been brought for the service men boxes to be sent this month. A good variety is being packed for three service men from the church. During the social hour cards were made that could be used at the nursing homes at Halloween time. Refreshments were served by the Hostess. Nov. meeting will be with Mrs. Mayme Leslie. —Petticoats health and race relations. She is active in the PTA of School 66 in Indianapolis, and is a Girl Scout leader. She is a member of the Broadway Methodist Church. Jim and Phyllis Beatty are par. ents of three children; Lynn,11; Jay, 9 and Lee, 6. MRS. BETTY SHEEK (Mrs. Richard N.

W T HEN GEORGE BERNARD SHAW was a virtual unknown, a prominent London producer turned thumbsdown on a play he had' submitted. Many years later when Shaw had become worldfa m o u s, the producer begged for a chance to sponsor his newest comedy. Shaw wired back, “Better never than late.” * • • John Barrymore, matinee idol and actor extraordinary, was a recognized authority on Shakespeare, and frequently delivered lectures on the play’s and career of the “bard of Stratford.” He had just concluded one such talk at a girls’ college and asked for questions, when one girl inquired, “Considering the extreme youth of Romeo and Juliet, do you think it possible that they had any actual physical relationship?” Barrymore answered promptly, “They certainly did in the Chicago company.” * * * A typical example of the new breed of self-reliant, completely independent young men of the new generation—aged fifteen— told his father in ringing tones, “Pop, it’s time that I stood on my own two feet and made my own way—but I’m never going to be able to do it on my present allowance.” • * * At a neighborhood bar, in the wee hours of the morning, a chronic stutterer announced, “If they r-r-really w-w-wanted to, they c-c-could end this d-d-damn w-w-war in V-V-Viet Nam in about t-t-two w-w-weeks!” "Hmph,” snorted his companion. “That’s easy for you to say!” © 1%8, by Bennett Cerf.
