Syracuse Science Club News By Jim Michael Recently the Syracuse Science club took a field tr.p to Huntington. We went to the limestone quarry in search of fossils. Mr. Hall was in charge and also was cur fossil expert. Mr. Hall had previously shown us his own fossil collection which was quite interesting. Fossils are preserved plants and animals some of which are preserved in rock. For the most part, however, the fossils we found were their carbon imprints preserved in the rocks. The trip was quite enjoyable as well as educational and everyone found fossils. Our finds ranged from chatter bites to honey-comb coral. We found them lying everywhere. If anyone is interested in lossils, I suggest that he search the Huntington area. There are still a lot that we missed. 10 Elkhart County 4-H’ers Plan Chicago Trip Five boys and five girls who have ' made outstanding achievements ! through their years of 4-H club work in Elkhart county will go to Chicago November 24, 2S and 26 along with oth.r 4-H members from DeKalb.

Serve Your Thanksgiving Centerpiece For Dessert LAFAYETTE - Save time on Thanksgiving preparations by planning a table centerpiece of fresh fruit which you can serve for des•s.rt. The family will probably enjoy the remainder of the day more if they follow turkey and the trimmings with a light dessert, says Miriam G. Eads. Purdue university foods and nutrition specialist. So, save your rich pies am? cakes for the n.xt day to glamorize the leftovers. Freshly washed fall fruit spilling from a wicker or paper cornucopia provides a simple, yet traditionally attractive centerpiece. Your children may enjoy making a comuco-f pia from construction paper. Add lighted tapers for a more festive table. Here’s anoth r idea. Secure an attractively-shaped tree branch in • a styrofoam base and hang small clusters of several varieties of ; grapes on the branches. Then arrange a few wedges of cheese at the base of the tree for a delicious dessert as well as an unusual cent- . erpiece. : Or why not take your ornate crystal cake stand off the top shelf of the china cabinet and pile fresh fruit and nuts on the dish? Then provide plenty of fruit knives and nut crackers so that the family can enjoy a leisurely "do-it-yourself" dessert while you stack the dinner dishes in the kitchen. 66 Calls Answered By Syracuse Police During October I The Syracuse police department ; answered 66 calls during the month . of October according to a report released Tuesday by police chief ( j Dan Ganger. »!

Grass Roots Level Church 'Gripes'

By FRANK A. WHITE I What are the ’gripes” a minority 1 of church members present when met j face to face at grass roots level? I was one of 550 members of the church we attend, who teamed on a Sunday afternoon “every member canvass”. We set our fortified j by the senior pastor’s prayer, a cup ( ■of bean soup, ham sandwich on rye, ( potato salad, piece of cake and cos- : fee. . A white haired, alert, charter | member of our 30 year old church, 1 registered this complaint. When our | new minister took charge some six . years ago. sho sak? he “shelved” ail , the older p.ople. None of the older members who had helped build the ! church now held any important post. ( Many churches are wracked by , older members who do not adapt to ( a changing world. Reluctantly they gave younger members a chance, j This was a familiar theme heard ( by mandatory retirement in indus- ( try. I It would be hard to say the “new i i face” program wasn’t working. Oar j church is a three-fourths million ] dollar edifice that arose where , . there was once a briar patch. It has < 2.393 members, a senior and two associate pastors, and is booming. One has to walk a block at the sec- , ond Sunday morning service, there are so many cars. We presented this lady with a “committment of personal service , card". It showed our church engaged in 30 activities with leaders and participants needed. She was invited to become interested and active in senior memirr activities, such as the Leisure Hour, the 50 Plus, i the Women’s Bible Classes, SewGuild or White Cross Guild. She handed back a stinger. She told of a Billy Graham crusade conv rt who was all “fired up” to work for the Lord. The woman callj '■ d her pastor asking what she could I do to help save souls. The pastor r.plied that on Wednesday morning next the church was going to have a pancake breakfast, and she could bake pancakes. A neatly dressed, youthful appearing lady said Sh ? had either taught Sunday school, or been in charge of Sunday s 'hool teachers for our church 27 y ars. She had taught as many as three generations of a single family. She got discouraged over th? Sunday school ! curriculum and walk d out. Her complaint was th? modern community church has lost its spiritual entity. It is more of a country did) than a fountain of evangelism such as E'sus taught. She had used the Bible over the : vears as the text for her teaching lof Sunday shool children and didnot like "baJby books”, pictures of squirrels and comics purporting to t teach Christianity. Some of her -1 teachers were ill at ease and ob- - jected to a few moments of com--1 mon prayer. We encountered other complaints

that church teachings today are far ; removed and diluted from the spir-1 itual messages such as Paul, fol-1 lower of Jesus, presented fearlessly, An example was cited. One of our associate pastors was accused of “taking the punch” out of miracles of the Bible. Purportedly this was his version of one, that of Jesus feeding the multitude with the few loaves and fishes. Th> young minister suggested almost j’. present probably had a picnic luncheon but were too selfish to shar ?. When Jesus showed the hoy willing to give of his few loaves and fish.s. then ashamed of themselves they all chipped in. with food enough to spare. Such topics of how much the pastors were paid, how much should each member give, and whether our church was “friendly” or “cold" to strangei-s was discuss.-i. It is now recommended there b? one pastor or associate pastor for each 6W members of a church. We have three pastors for 2,400 members to carry a terrific load of services each day. Counseling, especially as to divorce and marital troubles has increased. They perform ail duties of baptism, marriage, calling on the sick, and providing spiritual inspiration to the equivalent of a city of 2,400 p ople. W? found agreement, if you don’t like something in your church, running away to join another church does not help. You would find something in the other church you do not like. Syracuse Locals Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bates of Syracuse will have as their Thanksgiv- ; ing day guests, their son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lional Bates, of Villa Park, DI. Mrs. Ida Hibschman of Syracuse went by train to Garrett Saturday I afternoon to visit the Herman Jensen family. Others at the Jensen home were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lower and daughter Carol of Toledo.
