Church Membership Largest In History
More people are going to church and more people are reading the
Bible today than ever before in our history. That’s the real American
story behind the headlines, and it tells more about our true spiritual
and physical health than all the lurid tales of juvenile delinquency and
atom destructiveness put together.
Vital statistics issued this month by the National Council of the
Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. contradict sharply any stories that
we are overly materialistic, and prove that more and more people are
seeking God as a source of inspiration and guidance. Over 97,000,000
Americans now attend church regularly, an increase of 2.8 percent over
last year. Americans contributed more than $2,000,000,000 to their
churches in 1955 alone. Sunday and Sabbath school registrations are
at a record 7,623,530. * i
And this religious growth is not just “Sunday habit.” We, as a
nation, are turning to Bible reading, extending devotional thought
beyond mere observance of the Sabbath. In the case of the Revised
Standard Version of the Bible alone, which was first issued only
three years ago this month no less than 3,620,823 copies have already
been sold, a figure that is rising steadily toward the four million mark.
This major revision of the Bible, in clear, lucid, present-day
English, has sold at the rate of more than one copy every 30 seconds,
24 hours a day, for 36 months! A phenomenal record, set against
rising church membership, it underlines that pressing need for faith
in our troubled world.
The RSV Bible was the result of a 15-year project by 37 leading
church scholars (with a larger consultation committee) to provide a
work that corrected errors and inaccuracies that had become dis
turbingly evident in many English translations. Its ultimate publica
tion in the Fall of 1952 was the occasion of nationwide observances
by ministers of many denominations.
This religious revival is growing in every community in America,
and its accelerating pace indicates that millions more will be turning
to the Sriptures for hope in these critical times.
Guarding Your Kitchen Against Fires
FOUR PERCENT OF ALLDAMAGING HOME FIRES originate in
the kitchen as the result of burning fat in the broiler, skillet or griddle.
How many of you know how to tackle this common type of fire? By
rights you should have an approved fire extinguisher for “Class B’’
(flammable liquid) fires within easy reaching distance of the range,
as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association. If you
haven’t, the Baking Soda Institute suggests you at least take the pre
caution of having a good supply of inexpensive baking soda on hand.
Baking soda, which is the major ingredient of several types of fire ex- !
tinguishers, is excellent for such a fire. Applying the baking soda care
fully on the flames creates carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas which
shuts off the air and smothers the flames. Never use salt or flour in
place of soda. They’ll only make matters worse_and never, never
use water. Water has a lower boiling point than fat, and it will only
make the fire spread and the fat splatter. It’s a wise precaution 1
to keep a clearly labeled canister filled with baking soda on the kitchen !
range so that when and if you’re faced with fire you can reach the
Boda quickly.
Another advantage to using baking soda on fat fires is that it I
won’t harm food. You’ve all taken baking soda at one time or another
for the emergency aid of acid indigestion. So just wash the food off,
if it wasn’t too badly burned, and it’s rq^dy to serve.
News From Around Nebraska
An Ogallala couple and their son, who had just returned
from military service, were winding up a vacation trip last week
and decided to stop at Seward te watch a football game between
Concordia and Doane. A second son of the couple attends Doane
and plays on the team.
They watched with varying degrees of interest while Con
cordia piled up a lead of 13-7. There was four minutes left to
play and both teams were just seesawing back and forth in the
Center of the field. It seemed almost certain that Concordia would
win.
So, being in a hurry to get home to Ogallala, they left the
game with four minutes to play.
You guessed it. During that four minutes, the son on the
Doane team grabbed a 49-yard pass and scampered over for a
touchdown.
The Keith County News at Ogallala which discovered the un
usual incident, reported that the family didn’t have much to say
about the game—in fact they weren’t speaking to each other.

The famous dance band of Wayne King appeared at the A ins
worth skating rink last Monday for a community dance, according
to the Star-Journal.

At Red Cloud the Future Farmers of America organization
has started a campaign to promote greater safety with farm ma
chines which are moved on public roadways. The FFA's are
putting scotch tape reflectors on all combines, tractors and other
implements which are moved on highways. The tape will be used
on wagons and trailers, too. The Red Cloud newspaper, the Com
merical Advertiser, showed a picture of the FFA’s placing the tape
on a farm machine.

^ The Garden County News, printed at Oshkosh, Nebraska, is
calling for 100 persons to sign up for factory employment there.
According to the News, Oshkosh has a chance to get a new factory
which will employ 100. The necessary building and other facilities
are already available, the News stated. Details regarding the type
of factory were not revealed.

The West Point Republican announced last week that Cuming
County probably has the smallest list of delinquent real estate
taxes of any county in Nebraska. Only 133 taxpayers had failed
to pay up by the time the delinquent tax list went to press. The
133 parcels of land required less than a column of space. Some
counties have tax lists which run more than two pages. The list
being run in Washington County required 7*£ columns of space.
A farmer in the Hartington area struck an object in his drive
way with his car one night last week. The next day he discovered
a quantity of porcupine quills at the spot and he decided that his
car must have struck a porcupine.
Such animals are very uncommon in Nebraska, although they
are frequenty seen farther north in wooded areas. The Cedar
County News reported the incident.

The South Platte Chambers of Commerce chartered a special
train to Lincoln last Saturday to provide transportation for high
school students and adults who wanted to attend Band Day at
the University stadium. Three hundred made the trip with the
men wearing special red ties and pocket name cards.

At Missouri Valley the school board issued a special invitation
to the Harrison County News to attend their monthly meetings.
The school board feels that many of the details regarding school
administration are not being made available to the public and they
would like to have the News and the Missouri Valley Times tell
the folks about it
Such things as building improvements, needs for changes
in faculty members and details of the many “hidden” expenses
which plague every school were made public by the Missouri
Valley newspapers following their first “sit in” with the board.
• • •
At Hartington a young man just home from the Navy de
cided to whoop it up a bit. His antics promptly brought an arrest
for reckless driving and he was fined $100 and costs. By mid
afternoon of the same day, he had been tracked down cutting
more capers about town and he was back in court again. The
second session brought another fine of $100 and a suspension of
his license for two years.

Several football fans went to hospitals and a number of others
were injured last week when a stand at Decatur collapsed, send
ing 120 fans to the ground. The bleacher gave out when 120 fans
rose to cheer an Oakland score. Volunteer rescue units from Oak
land and Decatur rushed the injured to hospitals and doctors and
rescue workers gave first aid to many on the field. One woman
received a back injury; another a leg injury and numerous others
were cut and bruised.

A gasoline price war at Albion sent regular gas down to 25.9c
per gallon last week. There was no cut in Ethyl gasoline, however,
and it continued to sell at 31.9c per gallon. Unfortunately, only
the drivers of older model cars were able to take advantage of the
price cut.
Voters at Pierce turned down a proposal to vote bonds for a
new swimming pool, the Pierce Leader revealed last week. The
$39,000 issue drew 310 opposition votes and 247 favoring. The
issue required a 60% majority to carry.

Last week at Bridgeport, the oil dealers put on a free movie
as their part in carrying out National Oil Progress Week. The
Bridgeport News Blade extended an invitation to the public to
attend the show which revealed the many uses now being made
of petroleum products and the improvements in processing crude
oil which have come about in recent years.

The Wahoo Newspaper is attempting to raise a fund of $2000
to assist Saunders County Sheriff, Joe Divis, in paying off a court
judgment which he recently received.
Two years ago the Sheriff, while pursuing a man involved in
a robbery at Ceresco, thoughtlessly crossed the Saunders county
line into Douglas county. He arrested his man but the suspect
beat the rap on the grounds that the Saunders county sheriff had
no warrant for his arrest in Douglas county.
After beating the case, the suspect turned around and sued
the Sheriff for false arrest and won a judgment of $9500 against
the Sheriff. The bonding company holding Sheriff Divis’ bond
paid $4000 and after more litigation, the total judgment was re
duced to $6000. That left $2000 for the Sheriff to pay. It is this
amount which the Wahoo newspaper is attempting to raise.
The case is considered very unusual and has been watched I
with much interest by all law enforcement officers over the state.
* *
The city of Ord, which recently won a court fight against the
Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Company has found itself the vie- *!
tim of a squeeze play. The Gas company admits defeat in court
but no announces that it will have to cut expenses, in leu of
higher gas prices. It proposes to do this by eliminating free ser
vice on burners, possible closing of the company’s office in Ord
and by taking advantage of a loophole in a contract with the city,
to raise the price of the gas sold the municipality. The Ord
Council has the matter under consideration.
Changes By
1965 Will Be
Startling
New York—By 1965, startling
changes will have taken place in
American life, says Leo Cheme,
Director of the Research Insti
tute of America. Writing in the
October issue of CORONET Mag
azine, out September 22, Cherne
provides a many-sided preview
of our life ten years from now. |
According to Cheme’s aniaylsis,
here’s what we can expect: ,
The wrork week will be only
four days long, and all holidays
except Christmas and New Year's
will fall on Mondays.
Sun-power will heat and cool
Carey With Calvert
Kingsley Lawrence Carey, of Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, has been
named sales representative for Cal
vert Distillers Company, it was an
nounced by Allan Dunn, Regional
Manager in Pennsylvania for Cal
vert.
Mr. Carey, who served as a sergeant
in the Army Air Force from 1942 to
1945, had since then a varied experi
ence in Pittsburgh with T. W. A.
Airlines, Gimbel Brothers, and
Westinghouse Atomic Power Divi
sion. - -•" —
He attended Lincoln School and
Westinghouse-Peabody High School
in Pittsburgn and is a member of
Jsricho Lodge #20, F. & A. M., and
the Raven Club.
He is married and has a ehild.^ -■
your house, and microwave de
vices will cook your1 food.
The average income will be up
20%.
One of your two cars will be
powered by a gas-turbine, cutting
fuel costs 66%.
The development of sun-power
will rival atomic energy in im- [
portance.
World.Wars will be eliminated.
But all will not be wonderful,
claims Cheme in CORONET, for
he feels though our standard of
living will be higher, we will:
have more psychosomatic ail-1
ments because of the increased
complexity that our society will
reach.
