CHRISTS BIRTH — Dot Wysongand Julie Wysong
Take a vacation with your faith; not from it ajfiacation time this year could present you, like many othersf with some difficult decisions about where to go and how to get there. With the ever-soaring cost of gasoline, you might select a resort area close to home; or just leave the car in the garage and perhaps fly somewhere; or simply lounge around the back yard and take an occasional swim or hike. It’s your vacation; but just remember that whatever your faith may be. it will teach you that God does NOT take a vacation. You can show Him your appreciation of this by attending your House of Worship; at home or on the road, where you can usually find one in any fair-sized community. It will serve as a reminder that wherever you choose to go. God will be there watchirig over you. ?

RHO CROSS — Mary Bushong and Dave Robinson
Speaking words of wisdom
By G. EDWARD GEANS Minister On Sunday, June 28, a small group of well-meaning Christians gathered to wait for the rapture of all true believers to heaven. One of the members of the group remarked. ‘Today is the last day, and we’re on the way up.” Others went so far as to sell their homes, quit their jobs and terminate their leases on apartments. The group’s leader indicated that the estimated time of Christ s return was arrived at through a 16-year vision, based upon intensive Bible study. But he also said that his flock was prepared to concede that an error could have been made in calculating the date of their earthly departure Needless to say, they were wrong in their choice of dates Time and time again, there have been those, who in the name of Christianity, have predicted the day of Christ’s return Each time, they have been mistaken. And now. more recently, we have witnessed another gospel sect which has been wrong again. Interestingly enough, each group that has ever named a day for the return of Christ has done so on the basis of detailed Bible study. But perhaps they did not study their Bible well enough The Bible is clear in teaching us. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son. but the Father alone” (Matthew 24:36). While the Word of God is emphatic in teaching us to be ready for the Lord’s return, it is equally emphatic in teaching us that the best way to be ready is to be busy; — so busy, in fact, that His return will be unexpected. ' The Christians at Thessalomca had a real problem being preoccupied with the end of the world and the return of Christ. Some of them quit their jobs. Others sold their possessions In any case, it did not please God He told them, through the apostle Paul. “Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that’the day of the Lord wall come just like a thief in the night” (IThess 5:1-2). If we really want to live as t the Lord will go before | ; you; and the God of Israel t ! will be your rearward ” | —lsaiah 52:12 1
though we are waiting for the Lord’s return, then we would do well to heed Paul’s instructions to the believers at Thessalonica “but we urge you, brethren, to excel still more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands*... so that you may behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need” (I Thess. 4:10-12).

Stolen vehicle in accident While on routine patrol last Friday morning Milford Deputy Ron Conley was stopped by an unidentified motorist who informed him of an accident one mile north of town on SR 15.

It then traveled an additional 139 feet and struck a NIPSCo pole. There was no sign of a driver at the scene. Registration showed the vehicle is owned by Winford Adams of Bristol. Damages were set at $4,500 to the vehicle and S2OO to the sign with only minor damage to the pole. An attempt was made to locate the owner and when he could not be found the vehicle was impounded.

Harold Long. He added, “We don’t want an amusement park down there (at the common access lot). We don’t mind some nice lake front residences, but when you get 30 to 40 people putting there boats in, it will be a mess.” Smith pointed out the proposed drainage system is similar to systems recommended by the Indiana Soil Conservation Service and utilizes a 35-cubic foot cross section. Smith reassured remonstrators there would be one docking space per lot for boats. “The last thing we want is a hodgepodge of boats . . . There will be restrictions,” he said. Rezoning Petition Rejected The board again denied a rezoning petition submitted by Gail and Lois Conkling to rezone 1.02 acres from an agricultural to a commercial district. The property is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of CR 500 N and SR 13 in Tippecanoe Township. The Conklings hope to sell the property to an individual who wants to open an ice cream and pizza parlor. The board had first considered the petition in May and voted 8-0 to deny the rezoning request on the grounds it would constitute spot zoning, was not compatible to surrounding agricultural area and did not comply with the county’s comprehensive zoning plan. The May recommendation was then sent to the county commissioners The commissioners disagreed with the APC. citing commercial establishments tc> the south and noting the land had not been used for agriculture for many years The commissioners had returned the petition to the APC for further consideration. The APC refused to change their original recommendation. APC Director Dan Richards pointed out present businesses were established before the present zoning ordinance was enacted “Why justify it with some of the things that have happened in the past?" he asked. “I think they (commissioners) are haring a hard time understanding exactly what kind of land use control we have.” Conkling pointed out there were no remonstrators at the hearing and Phyllis Louden of Wawasee Realty, who attended the hearing with the Conklings, objected to the board’s decision. “You knew it was farm land when you bought it,” APC member Dee Stiver told Conkling. “If you want to invent in a business, then buy land in a planned (commercial) development No Quorum, Case Tabled Because there were only five members of the 10-member board present, a quorum could not be met when APC member Charles Brower had to disqualify himself from Voting on a preliminary plat. The preliminary plat, submitted by Wayne and Lorraine Miller, was for a residential subdivision on a 5.68-acre tract of land located on the south side of CR 400 N, 260 feet west of SR 13 in Tippecanoe Township. Since Brower had done engineering on part of the project, he could not vote. Five votes are needed for a quorum. If a quorum can not be met, then no recommendation can be made. The petitioners attorney, Richard Helm, expressed his displeasure at haying to wait two - hours and wastenis clients’
money for attorney fees only to have the case tabled without a hearing. i Several remonstrators were also present and one woman told the board she had taken off from work and traveled from another county to attend the hearing. Nevertheless, the board tabled the case until next month, since no recommendation could be made. A rezoning request, submitted by Jack Nash, was approved to rezone 9.16 acres from an agricultural district to a residential district. The property is located on the south side of SR 13 and west of Bonnie Brae Addition in Turkey Creek Township. No remonstrators were present.

The property is located on the east side of Riverwood Ranch Road, 295 feet north of Old Road 30 West in Wayne Township.
