The Apostolic church is seeing the outpouring of the Holy Ghost which the prophet Joel called the "latter rain" prior !o final completion of the harvest. The term Apostolic is not the name of a denomination but simply means the church founded on the Apostles doctrine. Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. The true church today is experiencing a revival of the works of God. making it no less in power than in its beginning, having come to the realization that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday. and today, and forever".

Seems everyone could be considered a winner in the real fun event however, with persons attending getting a real show for the money, participants (even the brave lassies) having fun. and the letterman club sharing in the profits to the tune of approximately S6OO for help iri the athletic programs.

Portia Price, 11 and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Price of Syracuse, was runner-up in the county fifth and sixth grade speDing bee last Saturday at Warsaw. The winner was South Whitley sixth grader Joni Kurtz, 12. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kurtz of r 1. Joni will be in another spelling event on March 25 in Warsaw to compete for the county spelling championship which includes seventh and eighth grade spellers. Joni won after 28-rounds of spelling after Portia, missed the word "charlatan " and then spelled the final winning word, “chattel' to receive the gold loving cup. The order in which the other 16 contestants were eliminated was as follows: Cary Cotner. Atwood, round 3. “extinct"; Laura Widman. Pierceton, round 4. "grammar"; Brian VerHage. Lincoln School. Warsaw, round 4, “groggy"; Norine Sorensen. Milford, round 5, “ignition”; Ramona Warren, LETS TALK • Dependent men make bad dads By W. LEE TRUMAN Copley News Service One of the factors a woman seldom considers before she says “Yes” to the man who asks her to be his wife, is whether he will make a good father. A marriage ceremony is not going to transform a man who is dependent and who needs a "mamma-wife” into a person who is going to accept the responsibility of being a good father and head of a household. The bride-to-be may say her man is an exceUent breadwinner and wiD climb high in his chosen vocation. But if he is overly interested in pursuing his career and does not have a sense of proportion between his family and his work, he is not going to make a good parent and-or husband. A woman should be wary of a potential husband who believes that his wife will become his property. He is not likely to cooperate in raising the children or be gracious in sharing the time and attention she gives to them. The kind of healthy and normal give-and-take that has to exist in a wellbalanced home is beyond his abilities and capacities. This makes for conflict and grievances in the relationship. The plain truth that many psychiatrists have begun to underline is that not aU men are meant to be fathers, especially in this complex and complicated world. A number of studies are being conducted to provide more help for those having trouble fulfilling this very important role. A wife can help her husband be a better father by building his self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. It is a wise wife that then makes childrearing a Truly joint enterprise and not one which is dominated by mother. One doctor maintains that a

He advocates that fathers can help themselves by allowing children to participate in what they are doing whether it is washing a car or going to a concert. It takes more patience, and there is often more mess, but there is a healthy male identity being affirmed by the child. If it is at aU possible, a child can be taken to work with the father so that he can understand what the father does for a living and some of the things he has to do and contend with to earn the family paycheck. This gives a child a whole picture of their dad. A father should realize that he is psychologically a giant in the child’s eyes and physicaUy a very large, if not an overwhleming person. The balance is that a youngster does not need to feel like a doormat, nor does a father have to be bulbed by an aggressive child. Touching and tickling is being physically affectionate to a child and having children who are able to laugh with dad and mother is one of the great privileges of being a parent close to his own kith and kin. Laughter and genuine mirth is the best known medicine for family ills. One other very important item for dad is to know that he does not have to be right all the time, and he does not need to insist on having the last word. To be strong enough to say that he is wrong and does not know makes him real. Men have the motivation and capacity to become adequate fathers, but the sad truth is that many American men just do not know how to be a good father.
