next week.
The gigantic event will get off

entertainment feature with Bar
bara Krawl; who has a role on his
Toledo program. Both entertain
ers are well known to TV-viewers

Thousands of yards of blue and
silver materials will be used in
the decorative scheme which will
feature Ohio colors, and be tied
in with the Ohio SesquicentenniaI

reception in the Officers Mess
and luncheon with his fellow
churchmen at Camp Perry, where
he has been chaplain for the Ohio
State prisoners. Fremont and
other community friends honored
him at a reception Thursday eve
ming at the home of his brother,
John, at 921 Birchard Avenue,
Fremont.
Born in Fremont in 1893, Faith
er Horn attended II years at St.
Joseph's parochial school (then
only a three-year high school)
and finished his final year at
Fremont High School, graduating
in 1922. He completed six more
years of study at the North Amer
ican College in Rome, Italy, and
was ordained in 1928.
He served as assistant pastor at
churches in Tiffin, Toledo and
Lima until i'll health overlook
him in 1886, when he returned to
his home in Fremont on sick
leave.
Ten years ago, Father Horn,
nearing recovery from his illness
offered his services to Erie and
Camp Perry, and has been asso-
ciated with them ever since.
He has worked diligently and
almost entirely at his own ex-
pense to beautify the small cha
pei at Erie.
Eight flags adorn the chapel:
the American flag, the State of
Ohio, Erie Ordnance Depot, Ave
Maria, Papal, Chaplain, st. Pat
rick's and Army Engineers. All,
but the American flag and the
last two were made by Father
Horn himself. The latter two were
made by two former Erie Off
GERS. The emblems of four mill
tary saints, st. Barbara, st. Sc
bastian, Michael the Archangel,
and st. Martin of Tours, are above
the altar. The Stations of the
Cross, retouched and refinished
by Father Horn, adorn the walls.
Music for the chapel services is
by recordings, and through the
years, an excellent library of mu-
sic has been accumulated by

Gypsum, Sets
Polio Goal
For $4,000

Gypsum residents have set
a goal of $4,000 for their an
nual March of Dimes dinner
and sale, which will be staged
at the Jai Lai Night Club
there, Saturday, Jan. 81.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. R. Brown, who
are making all arrangements for
the affair, said that merchants
have given their best cooperation,
and the list of prizes to be award
ed this year is larger than ever
before.
The dinner will get under way
at IL a. m. with serving to con-
tinue until 7 p. m. The menu will
consist of barbecue spare ribs and
fish.
"A big feature of the day will
be an auction sale and drawing at
which numerous items, all do
mated by Gypsum merchants will
be sold.
Mrs. Brown pointed out that
while. she and Mr.. Brown make
all arrangements for the affair,
that all merchandise and food,
with the exception of the spare
ribs, is donated
The unique village campaign
was started in 1948 after the
Browns grandson, Charl e S
(Chuckie) Kurtz was stricken with
polio and spent a long 18-month
siege in the hospital.
Originally, the event was held
in bowling alleys operated by the
Browns in Gypsum, and the pro
ceeds for the first year amounted
to $50.
Last year this amount had
grown to $1,064.54, and indica-
tions are that the community will
surpass their goal of $4,000 set
for this years campaign.

reliable have faithful Tibet

that the fifth Dalai Lama.

Il pie the advice of clair
voyantS is no joke. Unlike
most WesternerS, who look on
fortune telling as a racket,
the TibetanS take it seriously
as a guide for daily living.
From the loWlieSt herdsman,
who conSults his local holy
man, up to the head Dalai
Lama, who relies on the Off
cial State Oracle for advice,
the guidance that's consid-
cred most reliable is what the
priests say while in the midst
of frenzied trance.

the official oracle is consulted
beforehand. On a lesser level,
a selected group of oracle
priests in the country's many
monasteries are consulted by
the average Tibetan.
Whether the predictions of
these clairvoyants turn out to
be true is difficult for visiting
foreigners to decide, since the
prophecies are often couched
in vague terms capable of
more than one Interpretation.
The one thing all observers
agree on, however, is the eX-
traordinary physical strength
that comes to the mediums
during their frances. Some
have been known to wear 60
pound gold headdreSSes for
many hours on end during a
long seizure, never once flag
ging or letting their heads fall,
Others are able to bend like
a bow the typically heavy
Tibetan swords which even
the strongest muscle men OF
the country can't manage to
f1ex. After the alleged evil
deity leaves their bodies, the
priests go limp as a rag and
don't return to consciousness
for 10 minutes or more.
The Tibetan government at
Lhasa has consistently for
hidden the presence OF pho
tographefs at the frances OF
the official State Oracle, and
the lesser oracle priests also
have traditionally objected TO
pictures being taken OF them.
The accompanying photo
graphs, however, were OBJ
tanned as a result of the good
will felt by Tibetans toward
members of the third Royal
