Presbyterian
Church Notes

Rev. Henry Porter, the pastor,
preached a splendid sermon, last
Sunday morning, subject, "A Days
Work and a Days Wages.
Among other things he said:
Money is not the only wages, al
though that is what people seek
most. Christian workers like Paul;
poets like Longfellow, and others,
did not earn much money, but they
got more reward out Of life. To-
day, wages are adjusted to the
work one does, so we must work
and study also, as there is no last
ing place in the world for a man
who does not produce something.
The topic for the message to the
Junior Church was "Selfishness.
1t stressed the fact that not to help
others brings no reward.
A special congregational meet
ing was held after the service.
Next Sunday, there will be a spe-
cial program at the church.
The annual Home Coming Sun
day. services will be held on the
Second Sunday in October. All
Presbyterians in the city are ex-
pected to be present.

will meet every third Sunday, at c

Responsibility
OF Motorists

Motorists very often blame pc
destrians for the majority of acct
dents involving pedestrians feel
ing that only through the careless
action Of the pedestrian are acct
dents happening. and that nothing
the motorist could do would a
void such happening. Accidents
do not just HAPPEN. There
are actions, careless actions, lead
ing up to the accident In which
perhaps not only the pedestrian
but the motorist as well was care
less.
A broad minded study of the ac-
cident problem will convince any
one that all OF US have RESPONSE
bilities. Because someone else is
wrong does not exclude us from
blame. The pedestrian might
cross in the center OF the block,
step out from between parked
cars, or commit some other unsafe
act, but we should remember that
when we are permitted by the peo-
pie of the state Of Michigan to OPP
crate a motor vehicle, we must al

that the Board OF Education had
been generous in supplying new
equipment.
The typewriting students found
forty-five (45) new Underwood
typewriters equipped with all the
latest improvements.
The girls in Mrs. Hanson's sew

ate. Not only did they find ten
new White rotary sewing machines,
but the room is completely equip

The boys in Mr.. Fraser's metal
shop have a new melting furnace,
power hack saw, and a bench
grinder. The hack saw is the chief
center of interest. 1t starts with
the pressing of a button, stops au-
tomatically when the job is done
and is fully equipped with guards
so that accidents cannot happen.
In Mr.. Lind's mechanical drawing
room all the table tops have been
refinished. The smooth and beau
tifully vanished tops should in
spire the students toward perfect
drawing. A new portable moving
picture machine is available for the
showing of educational films in the

Selassie is ues
Appeal In Behalf
Of Eft h i O p i a

LONDON-(ANP)-By Rudolph
Dungbar: On the eve last week Of
the meeting of the league of ma
tons at Geneva, Emperor Halle
Selassie addressed from his lega-
ton in London an appeal to the
nations of the world on behalf of
his country.
More than two-thirds of Ethio-
pia, as the league has been inform
ed, are still unoccupide by Italy
and the provisional government is
functioning normally in western
Ethiopia, he said.
"A section of public opinion
throughout the world" the appeal
stated lis led to believe, influence
ed by Facist propaganda, that the
occupation of Ethiopia is achieved,
and that submissions are taking
place continually and spontaneous
ly Nothing could be more incor-
rect.
With the knowledge of the facts
| assert that more than two-thirds
of the empire is as yet inviolate.
1.-The Italian army of occupa-
ton, which is encamped in forti-
fled positions, maintains it's domi-
nation only by aviation and by
sprinkling over the civilian popu-
lation, even around Adds Ababa
the deadly yperite (poison gas)
which it does in the name of re-
prisals.
81 appeal to the peoples of the
whole world to translate into prac-
lice the sentiments of goodwill and
love of justice which are so wide
ly expressed, and without which
there can be no durable peace, by
saving the Ethiopian people from
the hands of the aggressor."

so assume the responsibility that
goes with operating that motor We
hicle. That permit carries with it
certain rules of safe driving rules
not made for an individual, but
made for the greatese safety for
both drivers and pedestrians.
When a pedestrian walks against
red signal light. in itself a very
unsafe act, does not give the mo-
torist permission to strike them
When a pedestrian steps out from
between parked cars, which is GER
tainly a violation OF the rules OF
safe walking, the motorist must al
so use care in approaching such
areas where these actions may oc-
cur, and we should take into con-
sideration the conditions under
which we drive.
Nearly every automobile accident
is the result OF thoughtfulness Of
one form or another. This lack
OF forethought coupled with haste
is the cause OF most tragedies up
on the streets and highways.
The secret Of accident-free mo-
toring is TO anticipate situations
before they develop. Learn where
the danger spots are and watch
carefully as you approach them.
After an emergency has develop
ed, it is often too late to avoid
collision. So take 1t easy-think--
live and let live!
