why don't you accept few dollars once in
a while?" he was asked
Il can't commercialize the ark" he insisted
The reason which he gives is that the ark is
to be used only for teaching people, He wishes
to direct the minds of people away from ma
tera thinking towards spiritual line of think
ing. People who have interviewed him have al
ways insisted that Bill constructed the ark in
order that he might escape great flood which
is supposed to take place along the Pacific
Coast in the near future. Greenwood however
denies there will be flood and says that men
shall escape disaster only by obeying the teach
ings of the Bible If they continue along the
pathway of materialism there will come time
when it is too late to turn to the life of the
spirit, according to him.
What is your idea in regard to the spirit
OF man and his body?" he was asked
THE answer is in the Bible" replied Bill
The body is only an earthly temple while the
spirit is the real and everlasting part of man.
Therefore, it has much greater Importance"
How do you account for the shortcomings of
people of the present day."
THE reason is because they will not try to
develop their latent spiritual nature Their con-
dition is such that the animal tendency has full
power over them and some become far worse
Imperial Valley press., 1937-07-11

than the animals. If people would really try to
follow the teachings of the Bible, soon a new
condition would develop in them, they would
gain real understanding. The apathy towards
religion is something which must be overcome
before better state will exist in the world
There can be no assurance for the future with
out some spiritual understanding"
Remarling about the many who have called
on him during the past few years-there have
been approximately one thousand-from nearly
every State in the Union, Bill said: Generally
they quite material minded men and not
what l would call spiritual minded. They will
talk for half day about the material part of
my Ark, but just as soon as speak about re-
ligion they look at their watch, excuse them
selves, and take their departure"
Bill greatly depreciates the modern attitude
towards marriage saying that while it should
be divine institution people had lost sight of
its real purpose
Speaking of errors in eating, he said: ''The
improper of food kills more people than
whskey and tobacco. People eat too much of
the wrong things People should learn to make
use of the natural foods such as grains, fruits
and nuts"
when l first built the ark" continued Bill
Il did not have any particular purpose in mind
-
make a trip down the Sound now and then
After l found out that the ark attracted so
much attention decided to use it as a means
OF religious teaching. People came here out of
curiosity and asked all sorts of questions re.
garding the craft The really important thing
in life is to study the Bible and master it's
teachings. For some reason many ignored this
slant and tried to make up their own story
People refer to me sometimes as Noah but |
accept that as title of honor, because Noah
was great prophet in his time. Several years
ago, however, l sulked a great deal because of
that appelation and did not like it at ALL
THE greatest thing to strive for today is
faith, because after get that we shall be
able to understand things better My only hope
in this life is to be a guide to the people who
seek knowledge Many of them will head in that
direction when they realize that there is no
other pathway open to them. People say that
they want plenty of money but most of them
never get it. They bay at the moon, so to speak
We don't need smuch money to be content if we
are sensible; sufficient necessities for our we'll
being are enough. When get knowledge of
the real values of life a new condition will

Mr.. Greenwood was born in Coal
City, Rock Island County, Illinois,
in 1869. He spent his early life on
a farm near there and in 1901 his
family migrated to Olympia, Wash
ington. After arriving they moved
to a little stump ranch at Mud Bay,
five miles west of the town. Bill
went to work for a neighbor clear
ing land and, was thus occupied
when strange phenomenon occurred
in the district 1t happened on Fri,
day, the 18th day of September. The
sky became so dark that the chick
ems went to roost, and men in the
fields stopped work. Bill says that
it was darker than night, and this
made a deep impression on his mind
This darkness reached 600 miles out

People are too much wrapped
up in themselves" believes Mr..
Greenwood "A real understanding of life is the
only panacea, and nothing else will effectively
cure all troubles"
He claims to be too universal minded to
belong to any one sect. THE Bible is not diff
cult to understand if you put your mind to it"
says he. I'VE don't need other people to do our
thinking for u.s."
Revelations is his favorite study and he says
that indirectly they were the cause of his build
ing the ark "The Lord inspired me to build
this ark, after 1 read Revelations" he remarked
"but concealed His purpose from me until after
it was finished. Now know that it is to at
tract the attention of people to more spiritual
way of thinking"

flood, and answered questions on Biblical proph-

the next day English journals carried the story.
His ark stands on the mud flats Olympia,
Washington, and is of the wonders of the

hundreds of letters asking questions about Bill

|BREVARD DEBT
REFUND PLAN
FORM ULATED
Look for Accordance Of
4 Program to- Reduce
I City's Debt by Halt

BREvARD, Jan. ga plan
for the refunding of the entire
bonded indebtedness of the Town
of Brevard has been worked out
by the town board. according to
announcement by the governing
officials of the town this week.
Copies of the plan are being
mailed to the individual BOND
holders this week and it is expect
cd that enough of them will have
assented to the plan to put it into
operation within the next 90 days.
The plan has been approved by
the Local Government Commis-
sion and the North Carolina Mu-
nicipal Council, Inc. Of Raleigh;
The North Carolina Municipal
Council, Inc, was organized by
and now represents a large num-
her of bond houses, banks and in
surance companies which have ex-
tensive investments of bonds IN
North Carolina units and endeav..
ors to investigate conditions and
protect the interests of the hold
ers of such bonds.
The plan provides for the re-
funding Of the entire indebted
ness of the town by issuing re-
funding term bonds which mature
in 1876, or 40 years hence. The
original interest rates have been
drastically reduced. The interest
rate on the new bonds starts at
lrc and is graduated over a pc
riod of years until it reaches 40
in 1866. The average over the
entire 40-year period is 2.75%.
The plan represents a substan-
tial saving to the Town of Bre-
ward. Under the present rate of
interest and maturity dates Of its
bonds the town would be required
to pay 81, 093,797.75 over the next
35 years. Under the refunding
| plan the entire debt and interest
can be paid for $723,713.92, over
a period Of 40 years. The town,
therefore, saves s370,0s3.s3 by
the refunding plan, or more than
so per cent Of it's present out
