This time they spent the day
at the lovely new home of Mr..
and Mrs. M. J. Blake in Long
Beach. A lot of work was &C
complished. During the lunch
hour, Mrs. Fred Tebbe, their
Chaplain, lead in devotionals;
and many testimonies were
given of Gods keeping and
healing power. Also, the Mid
week Prayer Meeting was held
at the Blake's, several others
going down to Long Beach to
be with them at this service.
On October 3rd, Mrs. Will
liam (Estelle) Schmalfuss ar
rived in Alhambra to spend
few days with Mrs. N. T. Kes-
Ter and Bertha, before her re-
turn to Zion. She had been
staying for several weeks with
her brother-in-law and family,
the Arthur E. Bransons in Ma
pa, California, having been
called to California on account
of the death of her sister Lois.
We were saddened to learn of
Lois death, but how comfort
ed one can be to know that a
loved one died in Christ. On
Saturday afternoon the Kes-
lers and Estelle drove to Hol-
lywood, then out Sunset Drive
to the ocean, down the ocean
drive to Wiltshire Boulevard,
and back. On their way home
they stopped at the Farmers
Market in Hollywood, and en-
joyed the novelty of this we'll
known market, especially the
work of the cake decorators.
On Sunday, which was Com
munion Sunday, Estella met
quite a few friends, and we all
enjoyed our get-together in
Monrovia Park, after the SER
vice..
The former Mrs. Sarah
Hobbs and Oscar Wilson were
married November 3rd, and
their many friends wish them
many happy years together.
Overseer and Mrs. Robinson
entertained them on Saturday
evening, November 10, at din
ner, then, later in the evening,
several friends dropped in to
wish them we'll. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson spent the night with
the Robinsons; then on Sun
day, after the Service they en-
joyed dining again at the Rob-
insons', and their fellow guests
were Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Lar
son (who have been assisting
Overseer Robinson with the
music at the ChapeD, and Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Blum and
Mrs. William D. Taylor, who
had motored from Fullerton
to attend the Service.
We understand that many
persons from back East have
been writing Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Cobb, congratulating
them on having such a nice
family, and on their having
been married for only rs years.
(Our face is very red, as the
Cobbs celebrated their 10th
anniversary recently, instead
of their 25th). We stand cor
rected.

the Service. Overseer Robinson
has been taking up the Book
of The Revelation at the
Prayer Meetings, and he has
given some very interesting
and instructive teaching.
We cannot help but remark
again on CALIFORNIA; beauti-
full climate-at this time of
the year when the Midwest is
covered with a heavy blanket
of snow, we are having cool
mornings and evenings; but
what wonderful days! And the
flowers roses, HIBISCUS, bou-
gainvillias, and hundreds of
other flowers are in full bloom.
The rainy season has not yet
set in, but when it does, it
comes with a rush, and it is
really a sight to see the water
flowing down the streets.
The Thanksgiving Service
was held at Bethel Chapel
from $3.50 to II 100 on Thanks
giving Day morning, and we
know that those who attend
were greatly blessed.

SCHOOL INSURANCE

AT its last regular meeting
the Board of Education ap-
proved an Insurance Plan
whereby for a small sum pu-
pills enrolled in the Zion
Schools may be protected
against accidents occurring on
the school premises and while
engaged in any school activity.
The Board of Education pays
a flat fee for each building and
each pupil is required to pay
a fee of 80 cents per year. If
parent wishes coverage for
accidents occurring on the way
to and from school, this may
be secured for an additional
As cents.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1948-12-29

This service is provided in
the schools by the Illinois Edu-
cation Association in Spring
field. While there is no liabili-
ty on the part of the Board for
accidents, yet the Board is will
ing to attempt to secure this
protection for parents of pu-
pills if it is desired. No teacher
or member of the Board is in
any way connected with the
Company. There are no paid
agents. It is purely a service
proposition arranged by the
Board of Education and the
Illinois Education Association.
The superintendent office
will be glad to answer ques-
lions concerning the notices af-
ter they are received in the
homes. No one is urged to par
ticipate in the program. It is
merely an invitation to those
who are interested. No money
is to be sent at this time. II a
sufficient number of pupils are
interested, the request for the
payment of the fee and the ap-
plication for the liability policy
will be made Immediately af-
ter the first of the year.
The Board of Education has
been prompted to take this &C.
ton because of a number of
accidents that have occurred
during the past two years. The
High School has found the COW
erage offered under this in
surance plan very satisfactory.
The following typical benefits
are available under schedule
"a" of the plan:

One afternoon last week, a friend
called me and said, Il am preparing
fish in little different way for our
dinner and thought perhaps you
might like to use it in your column
as a Lenten dish" Since that time
have tried the method myself and
can assure you it is very good and
a nice change. Since Halibut is a
dry kind of fish, this method leaves
it moist and gives it fine flavor.
ScalIOped Halibut
/ pound of Halibut steak
Juice of Y lemon
White sauce
Buttered bread crumbs
Rinse the fish well under the cold
water spigot and place in shallow
pan. Sprinkle the lemon juice over
it. Make thin white sauce as fol-

spoons of butter and blend in 112
tablespoons of flour Stir in slowly
cup of milk preferably hot), add
"a teaspoon of salt and u teaspoon
of dry mustard Pour this over the
fish and cover with buttered bread
crumbs. Sprinkle with paprika.

duces the different flavor

Appeals Court UphoIds
Rubinsfein's Conviction
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. THE United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yes
terday upheld conviction of Serge
Rubinstein, international financier,
on four counts OF a five-count in
dictment charging violation of the
Selective Service Act.
On the other count, alleging false
statements with respect to depend
ency claims, the court reversed the
conviction, 2 to l. Judges Learned
Hand and Thomas w. Swan voted
for reversal and Judge Harrie B.
Chase voted for affirmation.
Rubinstein was convicted last
April % on charges of filing false
statements with his draft board
concerning his liability for service
in the armed forces.
Reversal of the false statement
count results in a reduction of
Rubinstein's fine from $4,000 to
$4,000, but it does not affect the
prison sentence of 30 months he is
serving in the Lewisburg (Pa) Fed
eral Prison.
The court also upheld the convic-
ton of Allen Gordon Foster of New
York, former director of the Pan
handle Producing & Refining Co.
