tn Ttur l11,

When left home attend college, my mother
gave me Bible. On the fly-leaf she wrote this
verse - ROMANS 8:28 = ''And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love
Cod to them who called according to His
purpose"
Naturally, this verse through the years has
taken incre asing sentm entail sgnific ance to
me. But more tha that, it's meaning has fixed it
a som ething of text for my life. 1t seems to
say "We live in universe that supports the
good. The stars in the courses ought agains st
Sisera' because Sisera working against
Gods people and purpo ses. IF God be for US,
who can be against us?' is the Chris ans con-
fidence. Every experience has its place in ones
life. Success and failure fortune and misfortune,
Joy and tragedy, all are woven together, like the
nj any colored threads of priceless tapestry, to
m axe life's rich pattern"
Seeing the contrasting experiences in Jesus
life, and the blend of color in the lives of those
who served so we'll, find my faith accepting
and appropr atng the spirit of this verse that
t:All things work gether for good"

on earth was a home. It is said,
sin broke it up. The church, a

For years Townsend, Smyrna,
and Middletown were feverish with
a baseball desire. These towns
each had a leader or two, ready to
keep good club in the field during
the baseball season and finishing
their job, what they had to offer
along this line was truly suberb
Even the small boys had the fever,
too, and they stayed out on the
sandlots for hours while having an
exciting game. This spirit among
all sizes of players brought out
an invincible team, one that would
stand at the top in the state
league. Usually, challengers had
a tough time in trying to avoid q
shutout. In the local field, our
town had such able players as John
Townsend, David Lyman, Joseph
Pritchard, Lee Lattomus and Har-
vey Daniels and others. This town
had many good players that good
team could be ready to play in pos
sibly ten minutes no matter what
the circumstances were. But, alas
in these day the baseball spirit
seems as dead as a doornail anc
the same indifference has grip or
other towns as we'll. What a pity

A good boom for the peninsula

this factory fills a long felt want

The plant is located in the build

A truly veteran and worthy cit
izen of our town was Mr.. Joseph
Pritchard, who spent practically
all of his life in this locality. He
was always handy man and was
willing to aid in any good cause.
No matter what the time or
trouble. AS young man he was
quite fond of outdoor games, par
ticularly baseball, and when a base
ball game was Ito be organized
here, he was away the first to play
his part and build up a fine club,
one that could and would make an
opposing club, hustle to even make
a fair showing against it. Also,
with a fine ability, he would hold
down his favorite position-that of
second baseman in fine style. He
had an interesting personality too
and with lot of friends, he enjoy
ed life by being real friendly to
all who knew him. Again Mr..
