Oh where, oh where has the metric system gone

Metric conversion charts are a part of moat grade and high school math text books, however, the metric conversions are often forgotten when the graduate enters a work world where the meter and gram measures are not essential. This could be a sign of rebellion by Americans against the metric system, and the Americans are not alone. It seems Canadians, Australians, English and Japanese citizens are also rebelling against the new measures. In Canada, 25 per cent of all food stores were scheduled to go metric in an effort to convert the country’s measuring system. However, the date was in-

definitely postponed when storeowners discovered they were losing business to stores not affected by the experiment. In Australia, police dispatchers tried to use meters and grams instead of inches and pounds in radio descriptions of suspects, but had to return to the “old" system because policemen were unable to recognize the described criminals. •< Both Japan and England repealed compulsory metric conversion plans because of enormous expense and public rejection of the plans. In the United States, a 1977 Federal Highway Commission decision to spend SIOO million on converting highway signs from

miles to kilometers per hour was reversed when over 5,000 letters of protest were received. On the surface, the problem may appear to be conversion, but the actual problem is deciding which metric standard to use. Metric supporters say 95 per cent of the wood’s population uses the metric system. Those on the other side show while there is a single world standard for the Ihch, there are four different metric systems with several variations used in industrial countries. No predictions can be made about the race, but the traditional American system could easily inch ahead.

Thanksgiving dinner for Turkey Creek Senior Citizens

Turkey Creek Church of the Brethren, CR 13 Gravelton. will celebrate their annual Christmas Family Night on Sunday evening, Dec. 5, beginning at 6 p.m. with a carry-in meal. Following the meal at approximately 7 p.m. will be a special presentation by the children’s department which will be followed by a modern day drama by the youth group “Rejoice, It’s Christmas” will be the theme for the evening events with the youth group s presentation, based on Luke 2:814, helping members and those in attendance confront the controversial issue of a tod commercialized Christmas. W. A. Poovey wrote the play “No Silent Night,” and following e are excerpts from his thoughts: “ ‘The glory of the Lord shone

around them,’ we are told, and the angels highlighted their message by singing, ‘Glory to God in the highest.’ Unfortunately no angel voices assault our ears, and no heavenly light shines around us. And it is so easy for us to get involved in the affairs of this life and thus miss God’s part in Christmas. “But we dare not let that happen ... Christmas is about God. It’s about a God so moved by love and so concerned about man that he intervenes in human affairs. The first Christmas gift comes from God ... “So.. what’s it all about? Christmas is about life for all men. It’s about a God who loves us all. It’s about a Savior who yielded all. It’s about peace that comes through love. That’s what it’s all about.”

UMW learn stewardship Sara Greenwood began the November 11 meeting of the Milford United Methodist Women at 7:30 p.m. with devotions and Margaret Cousins presented the program, “Food, Land and Justice,” by Jack A. Nelson. The program stressed the importance of good land and resource stewardship by informing the group that one million acres of prime farm land are urbanized each year and four billion tons of topsoil are eroded off the nation’s farmlands each year which amounts to 20 tons of topsoil per person annually. In other business, the yearly donation went to the Milford Public Library and the Christmas meeting was scheduled for December 9 at 7 p.m.

Wed.. November 24.1982—THE MAIWOURNAL

’ CHRISTMAS CONSTRUCTION — Bill Beemer puts the finishing touches on one of the Christmas lights in Syracuse.

(Photo by Gary Lewis) Frosh B-bailers winning attitude almost prevailed

the Eagles had their hands full. Columbia City had a 20-14 lead at the half and maintained the sixpoint margin through the third quarter. Wawasee came back in the fourth stanza, however, outscoring their opponents 13-8. It took an Eagle basket in the closing seconds to put the game out of reach. The loss evens the Warriors record at 1-1. Leading scorers were David Kistler with 12 and Jeff Taylor who had 9. Rkh Karst was the leading rebounder with 10 boards. “It was a super team effort against a much taller and physical team,” said a pleased coach Hershberger. He said he was pleased with the way his team came back to make things close. In the preliminary contest, Columbia City made the evening visit a sweep. Wawasee managed only 13 points in three quarters and the Eagles pumped in 40. Leading scorers for the Warriors were Craig Cobbum with 6 and Sean Breyer with 5.

Leading scorers in that contest were Rod Aaron (9), David Kistler (9), Jeff Taylor (9) and Jon Evans (8). Wawasee won the game in the second half after the Raiders tied the contest. Hershberger said backcourt specialist Steve Galegor had a number of assists in guiding the Wawasee offense. Leading rebounders were Evans with 15 and Aaron with 12. The “B” team were 40-25 losers, with Sean Bryor and Travis Reiff as leading scorers. Bryor had 8 points, 9 rebounds and Reiff pumped in 7 points. Wawasee will host Manchester November 29 in their next contest.
