P. Lovinger addressed the assembly on the subject. "Be Confident of Divine Victory ” "By divine victory," Lovinger said, “we mean victory by God and creator of heaven and earth, the creator of mankind here on earth.” The lengthy address was concluded by saying, "It is in the Bible that God makes Xrlear what his requirements are for those who will have his approval and will share in his divine victory. Do we simply take it for granted that no matter how we may view life now. that is alright with God and that whatever we are doing is all that he requires 0 “Or with an earnest desire to bring our lives into full harmony with his will, do we diligently continue to examine his Word and make application of it to ourselves? By studying the Bible we can attain a soundness of mind so as to have confidence in God's victory and learn how, we can victoriously survive the approaching end of this order and enjoy life-everlasting on a paradise earth.” Seventy-four new ministers were ordained in special baptismal ceremonies conducted Sunday morning.

Clean-up — (Continued from page 1) $1,025 from the state for the purchase of land near the Milford Junction overpass as part of the widening of the bridge by the state. The money came through the town and township trustee, inasmuch as the town’s Commission on Economic Development is involved in the selling of bonds for the new Ralston-Purina plant from which the parcel of land in question comes. Board member Bessie Sunthimer said she has had complaints concerning large trucks parking near the corner of Main and Emetine street, stating it is difficult to cross Main street under those conditions. It was also suggested that the caution light be replaced with red stop lights from both directions in order to stop Main street traffic and lessen the hazard on this corner Mrs. Sunthimer said she continues to hear complaints concerning the trash hamper on Emetine street along side of H 4 H Machine Shop. And she said Shafer street residents are complaining about the muchdisputed road there and the condition it is in. Street commissioner Martin said he has been repairing that street, but perhaps “I’ve been working on the wrong side of the street.” The street is on a towntownship tine and the county is responsible for half its maintenance. The board plans to contact county highway commissioner Berton Retz to work out a plan to keep Shafer street in better repair. BZA action—(Continued from page 1) if they granted the permit it would reduce the parking space on the Waco drive side, and that if the state should decide to widen Waco drive, it would present a serious problem. The permit was issued, there being no objectors, for the 24 by 50 addition to the original 30 by 50 structure, providing parking is eliminated on the north side. Parking will be only on the other three adjoining sides, according to commissioner Anderson. He also said the new addition would come within about 15 feet of the lot line on the north. Builder Harvey Moore said the new addition wbuld be a real improvement. Denies Mobile Home In a third action, the zoning board of appeals denied the right of Delbert E. and Izola M. Conrad

to locate a mobile home on their lot in Marineland Gardens. The Conrads said it would be put on a permanent foundation, with a living space built as money permits in the future. He said his septic svstem has been approved by county health office Carroll Sherman. The building would be a 12 x 60 1960 Detroiter. There were objectors, including Don Hoover, an area resident, who said he was against any mobile homes in that area. Ann Lindstrom said mobile homes are moving into areas like this as speculation, and she cited a Mail-Journal advertisement to support her thesis. She said, "mobile homes belong in mobile home parks." Speaking for the Conrads were their two sons, Ron and Phil. Meyer Maidenberg, a board member, reminded the Conrads that all mobile homes must be 300 feet from any other dwelling, and that their home would be only 50 feet from its nearest neighbor. Other objectors included Ora Shafer, Herman Kline and Mrs. Don Hoover, who said the lot owned by the Conrads has been mowed only once in 10 years. Board members in attendance included chairman Bill Coburn, Dee Stiver, Rex Yentes, Bill Pipp, Jim Tranter, Charles F. Kroh, John Brewer, Meyer Maidenberg and Charles Miller.
