Soil Sewardship Week May 23-30

Since colonial times and especially in rural areas, special reverence has always been given to God’s providence in agriculture and the bounty of the earth. During the revolutionarywar. congress recommended that citizens observe days of Thanksgiving. President Lincoln, in 1863, issued the first proclamation for a national observance. In recent years, rural Americans and their neighbors in adjoining towns have been moved to observe a companion day of gratitude to the Creator, centered not only on the produce of the land but on the glory of the earth itself. Hearkening to the precedent of rogations days on the church calendar, the newer observance is held annually during the week

Sounding a lung alert

Will the United States run out of clean air within the next 50 years” Most Americans think so.

beginning with the fifth Sunday following Easter. Its focus derives from the Biblical admonition that “the earth is the Lord’s” and that each generation of mankind is charged with caring for it. in a continuing stewardship, so that it may be passed along to all who follow. Thus the observance is known as Soil Stewardship Sunday or Soil Stewardship Week and undertakes to emphasize man’s responsibility under God “to protect and use wisely His precious gifts of soil, water, and the myriad of related elements making up our environment.” The Kosciusko Soil and Water Conservation district is distributing ministers booklets to county churches in observance of Soil Stewardship Week. 1976.

“Given a choice; six people in ten believe it is more important to pay costs involved in protecting the environment." say the pollsters, “than to keep prices and taxes down and run the risk of more pollution ”. Nine'"'* out of ten believe that if we don’t start cleaning up the environment now. it will cost more money in the long run. To put the national spotlight on the fight against air pollution, the American Lung Association — and its 200 associations across the country — will sponsor a “Lung Alert" during clean air week. May 2 through 8. American Lung Association of Northeast Indiana is conducting two symposiums. May 5 and 12. at Fort Wayne, on the “Newer Concepts in Care of Patients with Respiratory Disease for nurses, technicians and physicians. Car exhaust is the chief culprit, and pollution pours out from the engines of 100 million vehicles. The majority of people interviewed in the national poll agreed it was important to keep pollution control devices on cars even though this raised the price of the car. Pollution also comes from the fuel combustion in power plants, furnaces, incinerators, factories And from industrial processes And from the refuse, especially the solid waste disposal, of more than 200 million people.
