Pastor Insfalls Ear
Phones Rather Than
Lose Deaf Members

Norfolk. Neb.. March 27.-Graee
Lutheran church Of Norfolk has the
record Of being the only church
known which will not take an excuse
from members Of the congregation for
not being marked present" at Sun
day services.
When two members OF the congre-
CATION stated they could no longer
hear the sermons, because of defec-
tive hearing. the pastor. the Rev. Mr..
Brandhorst. purchased a telephone
transmitter and installed 1t near the
pulpit. II was connected with bat.
teries, but plugs we're put in the pews
which furnished those with defective
hearing with a pair of ear phones.
Now they sit in their pews and
hear the sermons as of old.
One member of the congregation
became an invalid. The pastor strung
wire from his church to the inva-
lids home four blocks away. Now she
hears the sermon and the choir and
never misses a service.

ducer offering six million gallons of
high test petrol at the rate OF soc. 900
gallons a month, and indicated that
several other sources of supply were

The only drawback on the gasoline
sale by the state, he said. Is the fact
that committees. clubs and towns and
cities would probably not want TO go
to the expense of installing a pump
for the gasoline.
while ii requires more capital and
more facilities to handle gasoline than
is needed for coal" the governor said.
yet IL the people are In earnest and
cooperate with their local officials
and myself. means will be found to
realize vast saving in the cost of
this essential commodity
