BITTINGER

The past week featured many Wis
itors in Pleasant Valley Park, near
here. The weekend brought many
members of the various Homemakers
clubs to the Park for a friendly two
days visit one with another.
Asa Maust and Milton Bender, of
near Grantsville, were business cal
lers in this village last Saturday ev-
ening.
Work is steadily progressing on the
construction of electric lines through
out this community and within few
days electric current will be availa-
bic to all the homes in this section of
the county.
Since the stoppage of work by the
WPA groups of men who were en-
gagged in constructing the Maryland
State road through Bittinger, the
State Roads Commission has taken
over the work and it is proceeding
steadily toward completion.
John Beachy and members of his
family from the North Glade COM
munity, visited relatives here a few
days ago.
Ray Sechler, of near Meyersdale
was an agreeable business visitor here
early last week.
Robert Hetrick, Akron, Ohio, is
spending some time here visiting his
grandmother and other relatives.
Some night hunters, who were ap-
lparently out for the purpose of shoot
ing a deer, recently mistook a small
pony on the farm of John Bethel fol
a deer, and shot it, inflicting serious
wounds.
Frequent rains in this section are
delaying the farmers with their hay
making.

Which to Save?

A few days ago at the Park there
were two meetings scheduled. In the
amphitheatre was talk on national
defense by Representative Jennings
Randolph. There were less than fifty
in attendance.
Over in the auditorium was camp
meeting service, attended by possibly
two hundred.
A person at the first mentioned
meeting remarked that "people better
be concerned with saving their skins
instead of their SOULS" to which l re-
piled that latter all, saving ones soul
wasn't bad idea"
Later l got to musing. In the first
place it didn't look like there were
many people interested in either one.
In Bible times people looked and
prayed to God and then also did
something about saving their skin by
going boldly into battle.
If all people were interested in saw
ing their own soul and the souls of
others, there wouldn't be any need
of people having to fight to save their
own hides. But until we can get
people like Hitler to believe such a
philosophy there isn't much the rest
of the world can do about it but be
prepared to do little skin saving
along with soul saving.
The trouble in the United States
and other countries seems to be that
people as a whole neglected both. And
now there is a tendency to increased
church attendance. We hope such a
trend continues and that the trend is
sincere. For after all, the soul saving
affects the hereafter, and this life on
earth is of a temporary nature.
"Save the surface and you save all" ;"
is just slogan of some paint manu-
facturer. 1t doesn't apply to the hu-
man body.
1t Pays to Advertise
This week, as the result of classi-
fled advertisement, costing about
forty cents for two weeks, a real
estate deal involving over $4,000 was
consummated.
Olin Hardesty placed an advertise
ment in The Republican offering his
five-room bungalow for sale. This
week John Criss purchased the prop
erty for around $4,000, and Mr. Hard
esty in turn purchased the Kercheval
property on Alder street for around
$4,000.
This is just for those whom one
finds occasionally that says: "Adver-
tising doesn't pay"

school which, according to records to
which | have access, continued
throughout the day with the morning
session beginning at 8 a. m. Those
attending brought their lunches and
spent the day studying the Bible and
teaching those who could not read.
The Bible was the only book they had

sermons were delivered by travelling

Frame Church Built in 1853
In 1858 the "Senging Ground" cit
liens erected small frame church
on a lot belonging to the Friends
Delight" donated by John Friend, Jr.
This was the first church at Sang
Run, serving as did the academy,
as both church and school,
Second Church Built on Same Site
Cost of the present building was
estimated at eight hundred dollars.
Transportation of construction ma
terial was free as was a large part of
the common labor.
Van Grimm, of Altamont, was the
contractor and chief carpenter while
Henry Riley attended to the mason
work. Stone steps, still in use, were
cut and donated by Andrew Collins,
local mason.
Rev. Frederick George Washington
Ford was the pastor at the time of
dedication and an address in keeping
with the occasion was delivered by
the presiding elder. The San Run
church never had a resident pastor
but was served by ministers from
Grantsville, GAINESVILLE and Friends
vile. Rev. S. E. Ryan, last of the old
Circuit Riders" ended his ministerial
career here in 1886 at the age of 68;
riding horseback invariably to de-
| liver his semi-monthly sermon.
Present Church Being Repaired
Until recently the present church
had had no major repairs. But in
terror, exterior and foundation deter
ioration made necessary repairs
amounting to several hundred dollars
Those contributing cash or labor or
both are: Roy V. Friend, Fred Hoye,
Geoffery Hoye, Martin L. Savage,
Martin Friend and Ralph Hoye.
The foregoing was CLEANED from
fragmentary notes and does not fall
into easy sequence. However, some
idea can be had of the predecessors tC
the present place of worship and THEN
historic background. To Charles f
Hoye l extend many thanks for the
material from which this brief article

Newspaper Claims German

 A prominent newspaper commen- tator urged Germany to patch up a peace with Russia and turn against Britain. if Axis aims for new world order" ever are to be realized.
 Teiichi Muto, writing in the news paper Hochi, said:
 What we desire for Germany is that she should not lose fighting strength against Britain on account of the war against Russia, which is of secondary importance at pres ent.'
 Muto said Japan was taken com pletely by surprise in August, 1889, when Germany made the famed "non-aggression pact with the So- pviet Union but Japan decided that this was in line with the needs of the times"
 Then, Muto concluded, Japan was only surprised again when Germany turned on Russia with an undeclar- ed war June 22

 Boat Harbor Problem
 Of secondary importance at the special council session was dis cussion of mooring boats at the small boat harbor during winter months. A number of owners of the smaller craft were on hand to report that the north side of the No. float is the safest place for the short boats during rough weather.
 At the suggestion of one of the boat owners that all craft 32 feet in length or under be moored at the No. float, Harbormaster Bert Loomis pointed out that boats 20 feet and under now being taken care of at the harbor would fill the space provided at the No. 5 float and part of the master float. It was finally decided to hold a special meeting of the boat harbor committee with boat owners next Tuesday night at the city hall, to plan the winter placement of boats. ever, they must be placed there
 Frank Metcalf, city engineer, re- ported that light poles along the right-of-w of the sidewalk and pavement extension from the South Franklin street section to the AL aska Juneau Mine can not be moved out of the way because of salt water mains leading to the mine, which are under the edge of the new sidewalk. Metcalf said the poles have already been moved to place where they will protrude a foot or six inches beyond the curb out into the street extension. The street committee of the council was instructed to investigate.
