COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS

Wallace Gallogly of Albany, Ath-
ems county, has been employed as
teacher of agriculture in the Penns-
vile schools, succeeding C. w. Nc
Knight, resigned. Gallogly is a
graduate of O. S. u.
Superintendent c. w. Mallett
calls attention to the ruling of the
interstate commerce commission OF
recent date, which bars individual
school bus drivers from taking chill
dren from their respective schools
on trips that are interstate, since it
is violation of an interstate COM
merce act. School buses owned by
the board of education may be used
for such purposes without violation
of said act. This ruling prevents
school children from enjoying trips
to Washington, D. c., and other
places of interest that are of an ed
ucational nature. This ruling holds
good both during school year and
vacation period.
Supt. Mallett also states that re-
garding local school boards owning
school buses, it is the opinion of the
attorney generals office that despite
the new law permitting boards of
education to purchase school buses
on payment plan, that section 2293-
Is G. c., specifically states that no
board OF education may increase the
Indebtedness of the district more
than one-tenth Of one percent of the
tax duplicate without vote of the
people. This ruling will seriously
handicap the campaign of the de-
partment of education in forcing
public ownership of school buses.

Lesson 49, .A1s'H!x1 g: \

Elijah, life of courage, I Kings
18:30-28, for Sunday, Aug. 6:
Jezebel's influence on Ahab, king
of Israel, was such as to bring in
Baal worship; as punishment
there were three years of drought
when Elijah appeared to Ahab from
his hiding place and proposed to
Ahab a contest to prove whether
Baal or God was the true One. The
prophets of Baal failed to have their
sno Elijah's account of his part is
recorded.
v. 80. "And Elijah said unto all
the people, Come near unto me.
And all the people came near unto
him. And he repaired the altar of
the Lord that was broken down. !"
The fraudulent priests of Baal kept
the people in ignorance; not so with
Elijah; they were to come near and
see for themselves. Honesty is a
necessity in true religion. Baal
worship had to do with materialism,
comfort, pleasure and passion which
meant the crumbling into ruins of
the affairs of God. 1t is incumbent
that needed religious repairs are al
ways made.
VS.. 81, 80. "And Elijah took
twelve stones according to the num-
ber of the tribes of the sons of ia
cob. unto whom the word of the
Lord came, saying, Israel shall be
thy name; and with the stones he
built an altar in the name of the
Lord; and he made trench about
the altar as great as would contain
two measures of seed" Elijah went
about his work with a quietness and
confidence that portrayed his faith
in God. He would honor God by
Gods division into twelve tribes.
He kept himself in the background
making it clear that this was Gods
altar; he proceeded according to-
Gods law and order.
VS.. 80, "a. "And he put the wood
in order, and cut the bullock in
and said, Fill four barrels with wa
ter, and pour it on the burnt sacri-
fee, and on the wood. And he said,
Do it the second time. And he said,
Do it the third time. And they did
it the third time" AS a servant of
God, Elijah would prove that there
were no tricks in his part SO that
by pouring water on the sacrifice it
would add proof to his prayer being
heard and answered when the fire
fell
v. SO. "And it came to pass at
the time of the offering of the even
ing sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet
came near, and said, Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it'll

STRIKING EXAMPLE OF
FIRST AID

Numerous reports are being re-
ceived by the conservation division,
says Commissioner Don Waters, OF
effective first aid work by division
field men, since they were issued
first aid kits some months ago.
Many persons, especially children,
have been treated for minor wounds
such as imbedded fish hooks, near
drownings, cuts and illness.
A recent striking example of the
wide need for first aid training was
found by Game Management Agent
J. r. Benjamin, while travelling in
northwest Ohio. He discovered a
farmer boy beside the road who had
been gashed in the arm by culti-
vator. AS Benjamin finished dress
ing the wound the boys father
drove up. In hurridly leaving his
car his hand was caught by the door
and painfully injured. This anger
ed him and he slammed the door
badly pinching the fingers of an in
FAINT son who was trying to climb
out Of the car after him, the tips
of the fingers being all but severed.
After dressing the wounds of all
three the game management agent
assisted them in reaching home and
in calling a doctor. The latter prais-
ed the work of Benjamin in a report
to the division authorities.

McConnelsville, o

be known this day that thou art God
in Israel, and that l am thy servant
and that have done all these things
at thy word" Here is simple
prayer, concise and sincere. In his
prayer there were three petitions
first, that he should reveal himself
as the one true God; second, that
God would reveal to the people he
was prophet, for without conf
dence his messages would have no
effect; third, he wanted it revealed
he was doing his duty as pleasing to
God. A Christian should be con-
cerned not only to be doing good
deeds but to be doing the work for
which God has called him.
V. 81. "Here me, o Lord, hear
me, that this people may know that
thou art the Lord God, and that
thou hast turned their heart back
again. Elijah was an evangelist;
he preached a turning away from
sins and an acceptance in the family
OF God. This is one of the great
thoughts of God as expressed in Je-
sus Christ, and his followers must
share in this object to be followers.
V. 38. "Then the fire of the
Lord fell, and consumed the burnt
sacrifice, and the wood, and the
stones, and the dust, and licked up
the water that was in the trench. ;"
Contrary to natural law, the fire
burned from above down, suggestive
of the fire coming down from above
There is such thing as the fire
of Gods love falling on sincere
hearts offering to God a righteous
sacrifice
V. 80. t'And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces and
they said, The Lord he is the God;
the Lord he is the God.' Elijah as
a true servant of God had been
vindicated but that was not enough.
Baal worship must be wiped out
and this was not done till the true
and living God moved into the
minds and hearts of the people, who
before, fell down before heathen al
tars, but now fell on their faces in
dicating that the work of God was
being done in their inner lives.

S. III. ID. MUST REPAIR
DRIVEWAYS

The state highway department
must either repair driveways of
abutting property owners destroyed
by highway improvements or pay
property owners for such damage,
Attorney General Thomas J. Herbert
ruled this week in an opinion to
Robert S. Beightler, state highway
director. When an improvement
will render driveways unsuitable for
owners, provision for the approach
es should be made in the plans of
Improvement. If such provision is
not made the department must
either compensate the landowner or
reconstruct the driveways.
While WPA funds can not be
used to repair such driveways, the
state must take care of it on state
sponsored projects, Mr.. Herbert
said.
