Have you seemed to have lost interest in the church and the lord's work? Do you feel as if Christ is far away from your life? Make no mistake as to who has moved.

Are costly government programs designed to protect drinking water necessary? Not without gathering a lot more evidence of need, says the American Water Works Association. . The international organization of water supply experts has sharply criticized regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency as arbitrary, unscientific and far too costly. “No cost is too great to buy protection against demonstrated dangers,” said Robert R. Peters, president of awwa. "“But for EPA to force communities to divert scarce public funds from known needs and priorities to fight unknown dangers with untested techniques is unreasonable and improper. “There is cause for concern about contaminants being found in water,” Peters said.* “But there is no health crisis, no need for precipitous and perhaps entirely unnecessary action.” The Association has’ proposed large-scale health effects research and controlled testing of water purification techniques instead of the government’s proposed new regulations.

Here’s how to wash your dog
Anyone who’s ever given a dog a bath knows that the process can be a chore — especially with a large or hairy canine; but most dogs do need a bath every two to four months, depending on the amount of time spent outside. To make the job easier, follow these tips: ■ Comb out tangles in your dog's fur before wetting him down. They’ll be harder to get out after soap and rinsing. ■ Place a cotten ball in his ears to keep water out of the ear canals. ■ If your pet is prone to fleas and ticks, use a special flea shampoo (Otherwise, use a mild liquid or bar soap made for dogs
service will be provided by these two organizations. All citizens are encouraged to inform senior citizens of the dinner to be held in the Milford Fire Station Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m
or use a baby shampoo.) Work it into his coat from neck to tail, so the fleas don’t have a chance to migrate to his head. ■ Rinse the dog with water that’s the temperature you would use for a baby. If you’re bathing him in the tub. you may want to turn on a gentle shower spray Otherwise, pour a couple of jugs of water over him. Make sure that all soap rinses out though, or his skin may be irritated. ■ Dry him quickly but thoroughly (especially in cool weather) with an old towel or noise, you can use a blow dryer to 1 complete the process and fluff up his fur.
