Bible Thought

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son. - Galatians 4:4. God’s timetable is never too early and never too late, whether it relates to the world or to the individual. Gobin Church plans services “Why Not Live in ‘69?” is the theme for a special New Year’s Eve sermon to be preached tonight at Gobin Church by Dr. Hansel H. Tower, associate pastor. Gobin Church is holding its annual “service for the opening of the New Year” at 7:30 in the sanctuary. In hymns, prayers, and meditation, the worshippers will have opportunity to close out 1968 and prepare spiritually for 1969. In a unison pledge of dedication, the people will declare their intent to “go forward to the work of another year with steadfastness and confidence.” Mrs. Gwen Crawley will be organist for the service, and Dr. Jameson Jones will lead in worship. The community is invited to attend. FBI releases findings WASHINGTON (UPI)—The basic objective of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the core of the New Left movement, is “To completely destroy our form of government,” FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said

today.

He reported a marked increase in recent months in bombings and burnings of public buildings and other acts of terrorism, with selective service boards and Navy and Army Reserve O f f i c e r s’ Training Corps units foremost among the targets. “New Left leaders have constantly exhorted their follow, ers to abandon their traditional role of ‘passive dissent’ and resort to these terroristic tactics as a means of disrupting the defense efforts and opposing established authority,” Hoover said in a year-end report. He said publications of the New Left are replete with articles proposing the bombings of draft boards and other government installations, plus detailed diagrams and instructions for making incendiary devices. The nucleus of the New Left movement in the United States is the Students for a Democratic Society, and organization which became well known in 1968 for its disrputive tactics at a number of universities, Hoover said. Though two of its leaders have identified themselves publicly as Communists “with a small c,” Hoover said, the distinction “is irrelevant to the rest of America because the basic objective of both New Left and old line Communists and their adherents in our society is to completely destroy our form of government.” He said the “pro-Chinese, violence-prone, Marxist-Leninist Progressive Labor Party” has made progress in concentrating its youth program mainly toward infiltration of SDS. Hoover said A m e r i c a’s stepped-up military commitment in 1968 caused “draft law violations and deserter-fugitive type investigations to increase considerably.” More than 11,000 deserter-fugitives were apprehended during 1968, an increase of some 3600 over 1967, he reported. “These cases are no longer confined to the failure to report for physical examination, failure to report for induction and other similar matters,” Hoover said, “But involve to a great extent the burning of draft cards, interference with the administration of the Selective Service Act, demonstrations and other widespread protests.” Nearly 800 persons were convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in 1968. Most notable among them were pediatrician Dr. Benjamin M. Spock, Yale University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr.

CRESWELL, Ore. (UPI)-The body of Navy Petty Officer 3-c Duane Daniel Hodges, the only fatality of the USS Pueblo incident, rested yesterday in a hillside cemetery near this tiny farming and lumbering community. The 21-year-old sailor, killed last January when the intelligence ship was seized by North Koreans, was buried Saturday after funeral services in a school auditorium. Mourners included Gov. Tom McFall, Sen. Mark Hatfield and most of Creswell’s 917 residents. They trudged threequarters of a mile up a path to the small cemetery, where a six-man Navy honor guard fired three volleys and a bugler sounded “Taps” as Hodges’ body was lowered into the grave. Among the flowers and floral wreaths was one from the Pueblo’s 82 surviving officers and crew members, who were released with Hodges’ body Dec. 22.

Notice

The veterans and ladies of Post 114 (World War I) will not meet during January due to flu. Council meets in special session The Greencastle City Council met in special session last night to transfer funds from certain over-budgeted accounts to accounts which have been overdrawn during the year. The list of transfers was read by Clerk-treasurer, Jane Harlan. Only one transfer was questioned by the Council. That request concerned a large amount of cash requested for the gas expense account. Acting Chairman, Ernie Collins wondered why there was an increase in the amount spent from the account this year over the previous years. No one seemed able to answer Collins’ question so the Council decided to wait upon the return of Mayor Norman Peabody, absent from the meeting due to illness. Since the meeting was a special session called for specific purpose, no other business other than transfers could be brought before the group. in memoriam In loving memory of Marie Rady who passed away one year ago Jan. 1, 1968.

Thomas Butler retires after 34 years

LONDON (UPI)— The man who for 34 years has been the nemesis of Britain's criminals today was walking from his third floor offices in London’s Scotland Yard police headquarters into civilian life. Detective Chief Superintendent Thomas Butler, head of the flying squad, is retiring after completing one of the greatest

chases of his life.

Butler, with an impressive list of testimonials to his ability, will take up a security position with a leading London bank. His “references” include 32 commendations, membership of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), an assist in the detention of the accused killer of Martin Luther King and responsibility for capturing the great train robbery gang. The latter credit is one which

marks him most.

The $7.2 million train robbery took place in August 1963, the year Butler was appointed head of the “Sweeny Todd”—British criminal slang for London’s much-vaunted flying squad. The theft marked the beginning of a saga in crime detection which came to an end on Nov. 8, when the last of the train robbers, alleged master-

mind Bruce Reynolds, opened his front door at dawn to be greeted by Butler. “Good morning Bruce, you’d better get dressed,” were the detective’s words. The arrest opened the way to retirement for the man “with the eye that never forgets.” His career in the police force, which began when he pounded a beat in London’s dockland, should have ended a year before. But Butler would not give up. He asked that his retirement be delayed and hurled his extraordinary ability to remember faces and his long experience in criminal detection into the task of bringing the robbers to book. Despite his open contempt for thieves and criminals Butler will leave his office with many Christmas cards and messages of goodwill from the men he has placed behind bars. F or all his ability and

toughness, Butler treated his adversaries with quiet polite, ness, a fact many have remembered. They also remember his habit of going out of his way to help their wives and families. To his neighbours he is a man who potters around in his garden and makes tea for his 91-year-old mother. To Britains underworld, he is the boss— “The Guvnor.” San Diego celebration SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) — The City of San Diego opens a year-long celebration in January in honor of its 200th anniversary. Many of the activities will be centered in Balboa Park, the scene of world expositions in 1915 and 1935.

Crowd streets in celebration PRAGUE (UPI)—Crowds of tipsy Czechoslovaks today milled through Prague’s freezing cobblestoned streets celebrating New Year’s in an outburst to forget their postInvasion woes. Citizens bought out the cityowned liquor stores. It was impossible to purchase even a bottle of alivovice, the Czechs, favored plum brandy. Older Czechoslovaks said they never had seen such alcoholic revelry in past years. Doorkeepers at some office buildings started to celebrate a full day before New Year’s Eve. Some said they began their celebrations to welcome 1969 on Sunday and planned to go on celebrating until Thursday when stores and offices reopen. Mail carrier calls for bulk mail investigation WASHINGTON (UPI) - An Ithaca, N.Y., letter carrier who was fired in November for refusing to deliver “junk mail” contended today that bulkmail advertisers are given special privileges which are denied people who send their letters first class. The Post Office, said John P. Stark, a mailman for 10 years before his dismissal, “tells corporations, ‘we’ll give you such a good deal on distributing your advertising matter and your free samples that you cannot afford to pass us up’ and then tells the public, owing to its deficit, ‘You have got to pay another penny for each Christmas card this year.’” Stark said he would “never know for sure” what made him decide on Nov. 9 to refuse to deliver a pile of third class samples. “Perhaps simple exasperation, after a heavy day, at seeing several trays of those half-inch-thick, sample-and-cou-pon-crammed envelopes neatly stacked under my case by an obliging clerk,” he said. “To come off the route, tired and wet, and face a bulk mailing for the next day’s delivery is always trying.” In an article in the Nation

Police report break-in Greencastle City Police reported that the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority house, 904 South CoUege Street, was broken into over the weekend. Entrance was supposedly gained through a broken basement window. A janitor at the building discovered the break-in Monday when he arrived at work. The value of stolen goods is unknown and will not be set until the residents of the house report back in after the holidays. City police are investigating the break-in. Study reveals carpet tips Homebuilders should take a long look at installing wall-to-wall carpeting in new homes without a finished floor underneath it, according to a recently-pub-lished cost study. The study, entitled “Home Loans On A Sound Footing,” was prepared by Alfred M. Jarchow, formerly director of the Appraisal and Mortgage Risk Division of the FHA. Mr. Jarchow points out that the builder who puts wall-to-wall carpeting over a concrete slab or plywood subfloor may be doing his customers a disservice, as well as increasing the risk of the mortgage guarantor. He may be making it harder on himself, too, if the lending agency does a little figure work and realizes the increased risk they are assuming. He says that from the consumer’s standpoint, two factors are obvious: 0) If the price of the carpeting is included in the mortgage, he will pay for twenty or thirty years on an item that will wear out in 5 or 6 years, 10 at the most; and (2) with the addition of financing charges, he’s probably paying much more per yard for the carpets included in the home price than he would if the carpets were purchased separately. Wall-to-wall carpeting creates very real replacement problems for the homeowner, he says. Using depreciation rates consistent with sound appraisal practices, Mr. Jarchow has determined that the cost of replacing carpeting is almost as great as the total cost of replacing all other household items (range, refrigerator, disposal, hot water heater, etc.) Faced with replacement problems, the average homeowner would probably first replace those items which are absolutely necessary, putting off replacement of the luxury items, such as carpeting. However, if there is a finished wood floor underneath the carpeting, he can merely take up the worn out carpeting (cutting it into area rugs, if he wishes) and use the wood floor underneath. If he cannot afford to replace the carpeting, the homeowner will find that his home has depreciated in value by an amount equal to or greater than the cost of the carpeting needing immediate replacement. This loss in value may exceed the amount paid off on the mortgage, resulting in a shrinking of equity. Thir factor also puts the lending age. cy in shaky position, when depreciation of the property exceeds the amortization of the loan. Mr. Jarchow adds that wall-to-wall carpeting may also cause difficulty in selling the “used home. The buyer may not want the worn carpeting— or, even in a fairly new home, the color and texture of the carpeting may not be satisfactory, possibly causing loss of a sale or a discounted price. However, when wood floors are used, this problem is not such an important factor.

magazine, Stark called for a congressional investigation of bulkmail rates, which he said accounted for most of the Post Offices deficit.

ralph taylor photography 103 E. Washington St. Greencastle. Indiana 46135 Telephone OL 3-5221 New Hours For The New Year With the new year coming we decided to make a resolution to better serve our customers by being open when they want us to be open. Therefore, we have altered our studio hours to add an extra hour in the evening to accomodate those who live outside the city and those who work late in the afternoon. And since people usually show a reluctance to face our cameras in the early morning hours, we will not uncap the lens until 11:00 on Monday through Friday. We won’t be sleeping during this time but finishing the portraits in the darkness of the laboratory. Then in the afternoon we will keep the door open until 6:00 making it more convenient to schedule portrait sittings for late-working individuals and their families. Studio hours on Saturday will be from 9:00 until 1:00. An automatic answering service will handle any incoming telephone calls during the hours we are closed. Again, new hours for the new year—Monday through Friday, 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.— Saturday, 9:00 to 1:00. Yours truly, Ralph Taylor P.S. A very happy and prosperous new year to you.

DEAR HELOISE: I have found a wonderful use for the pretty, little metal containers that some brands of soft margarine come in. I line them with pastry and fill with fruit, then bake; or bake first, then pour in cream filling. When cool, I just snap on the lid and have pies to pop into my husband’s lunch box. June E. Kelley * * * June is right, gals. This is a terrific idea. I made some little individual cakes in mine and they worked just great. But be sure when baking cakes to fill them only about one-quarter full of batter. (So they don’t run over—I learned the hard way.) Thanks, “ducky” for writing. Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: I’ve been coping with two children through milk spills Family enjoys Christmas dinner It wouldn’t be Christmas without the annual gathering of families. The Mae O’Hair family was no exception as they gathered Sunday December 22 in the Community Room of the Brick Chapel Church. Love and good cheer were abundant as 44 out of a possible 54 attended. Gale O’Hair led us in a prayer of Thanks. Then a wonderful pitch in dinner was enjoyed by all. Those present were Mrs. O’Hair, Andrew and Marie O’Hair, Andrew’s children Dean, Lisa, and Gina. Andrew has two other daughters who could not be there. Sharon along with husband anc four children who reside in Florida. Linda and husband and two children were ill with flu. They live in Monrovia. Also Dwight O’Hair could not be there this year. He lives at Marion. Elva O’Hair and William Porter were present along with all of their children Russell and Joyce Porter, and sons Bradley and Cory, Sheila and Ron Chadd, and Charlotte and Bobby Porter. Gale and Dorthy O’Hair. Marilyn and Steve Winters and baby Jeffry. Dennis O’Hair and girl friend Janet Houser, Douglas and Bryan. Mary Lou (O’Hair) Jarrett and husband Gene came the farthest as they live near Greenfield, Indiana. With children David, Janet, Debbie, and Kevin. Last but not least is Max O’Hair and wife Sandy and five children Cathy, Robin, Marion, Gary and Lori. The afternoon was spent with games and contests being enjoyed by young and old. Also a gift exchange was held. Our goal for next year is that all fifty four will be present.

at the kitchen table with my “so-called” handy plastic tablecloth. But finally I’ve purchased a terry cloth one and can’t believe how great it is. The milk soaks into one spot instead of running from table to chair,table legs, floor and anywhere else it can possibly reach . . . No mother with small children should be without one. Mis. M. G. * * * DEAR HELOISE: I carry a small personal phone book in my handbag. Taped inside are two dimes and above it I have written, “In case of emergency use these dimes to call either my son or my doctor.” Under the dimes I have written both their names and home and business phone numbers. Also on my phone at home, I have a slip of paper with emergency numbers. Mabel Conger * * * Mabel, I like your idea. It’s awful frustrating to try making an emergency phone call ana are unable to find a dime. Let’s all hope those dimes are never used. Love, Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: I find this a good way to repair loose joints on wooden chairs and foot stools. I cut small pieces from old nylon stockings, cover them with a •good household glue, then put ’em between the joints to be repaired. This really’ does a bang-up job. The result is a tight and neat repair job. Mrs. J. W. Dreyer * * * DEAR HELOISE: I was preparing fudge recently and by' mistake added lemon extract instead of vanilla. It tasted just delicious! So for variation, I now add one-half teaspoon of lemon extract to my fudge for a delightfully different taste. Also found that orange extract Works well, too. Reader * * * Dear Folks: Did you know you could use a felt-tip marker—any color you happen to have— mark on the outside of the light bulb and it would color it? Of course, this must be done when the bulb is turned off and cool. I think this is a terrific idea if your Christinas tree lights have lost their colored paint. (I have done this for years.) And if you have a low-watt light bulb in your bedroom or lamps above the mantle, etc., you can also color those for a soft light. Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: For several years now I've been using nylon net bows of different colors on flower baskets I take to the cemetery. They are exposed to sun, rain and snow, yet they still stand up beautifully’. Olive Morgan
