Two Dedications
Set For Sunday
By Local Church

Two services of dedication are
scheduled for next Sunday, Oc-
tober z, by st. Johns Lutheran
Church, it was announced by the
pastor, the Rev. Lawrence t.
Rugh.
AT 10:15 am, in the courtyard
in front of the Parish Hall on
East Second Street, service will
be conducted by the pastor dedi-
eating the former parsonage for
use as Parish House.,
At 400 pm, at the new par
sonage at 80 Maple Street another
service of dedication will be fol-
lowed by an Open House to which
all are invited.
The former parsonage at 62
East Second Street was built in
1882 by the congregation for use
by its ministers. During the diff
ficult years of the local Lutheran
church, the house was rented to
various inhabitants as source of
income, since there was no resi-
dent pastor from 1908 to 1889.
In 1912, with the completion of
the present Parish Hall, the par
sonage was joined to the church.
This arrangement is now being
used to advantage as additional
Sunday School space. The kinder
garten and primary departments
will meet in what is to be called
the Parish House.

Redman also advised the sub
scribers to study the instructions
in the new directories. He added
that such study can prevent many
complications in using the new
equipment. He stressed waiting for
a dial tone, but emphasized that
waiting too long can give cut out
signal, high whine, which means
that the subscriber must hang up
and get another dial tone.
For emergency, Redman said,
subscribers should dial the opera
tor unless it is an emergency num-
ber such as police or fire as listed
in the directory. The emergency is
for use when numbers are not
known or when the dialed number
does not give satisfactory service.
1t was pointed out that in case
a subscriber accidentally reaches

Dear Editor:
Celebration of NATIONAL L
NEWSPAPER WEEK, October l.
8, once again reminds all of us in
the Ohio Department of Highway
Safety of the tremendous job the
Fourth Estate" is doing in help
ing us to bring home the vital
message of traffic safety to the
public. Your cooperation is sine
erely appreciated all year around
in fact but one doesn't get the
opportunity to express such appre-
citation very often.
I firmly believe that should we
awake tomorrow and suddenly
learn there were no newspapers :
that they had ceased to exist we
should be deprived of one of the
most dynamic and positive forces
in the nation.
Thank you for your unceasing
efforts to promote traffic safety
and heartiest congratulations. to
you in this annual observance.
Sincerely yours,

Group Holding Meet Here Declare
Weekday Religious Training Vital

Weekday religious education is
a vital function of the church, a
panel of experts agreed last Sat-
urday, September 29. at a South
west Ohio regional conference in
the London Methodist Church.
Legality of weekday religious
education was upheld by the SUI
preme Court decision in 1852, the
panel pointed out. Weekday re-
ligious education provides the
bridge between church and school,
offering a cooperative method for
common gain," it added.
The Madison County Weekday
Religious Education Council was
host to weekday teachers and
council members from Dayton,
Springfield and xenia at the
meeting. Among the 80 persons
who attended were seven Spring
field teachers and II members of
the Clark County Council of
Weekday Religious Education.
One of a series of five such
conferences being held in various
regions of the state, the London
meeting heard reports of the pro-
gress of weekly religious educa-
tion from a panel of three mem
bers. They were the Rev. Clifford
Stearns of Springfield, chairman
of the Department of Weekday
Religious Education of the Ohio
Council of Churches; Miss Lillian
E. Comey, director of the depart
ment; and Miss Whrelda Wrye,
Dayton weekday teacher.
Delegates attended workshop
groups on public relations and fl
nancing, and heard a report on
the current emphasis on moral
and spiritual values in public
school education by Mrs. Carmeta
Sargent Clark, Madison County
weekday teacher.
Madison County weekday pupils
decorated the luncheon tables un-
der the direction of Miss Gertrude
Riesen, county weekday teacher

Local Newspapers
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Straight news is important to
everyone. Many people learn
through the news columns of in
cidents which they would never
know otherwise The deaths, the
births and the weddings recorded
in the news columns are of inter
est to thousands of people here
and away. 1t is in this way that
former residents keep contact with
their old friends. And it is in this
way that many merchants make
additional sales. Often a simple
news story will cause someone to
buy a gift or card for friend
when the purchase would not have
been made otherwise. But this is
not the biggest benefit.
Newspapers really are the KEY
TO FREEDOM. Newspapers are
the only links between the people
and the government. Newspapers
provide the only means people
have of knowing what their gov
ernment is doing. The govern
ment even requires publication, in
newspapers of certain nforma-
tion.) Without newspapers there
would be little chance for check
ing the acts of mscrupulous poll
ticians and crooked office holders.
Few people would know of the
actions of the government without
newspapers, and if they knew,
they would have no way of ex-
pressing their opinions. There
would be no way of writing let
ters for publication. The newspap-
ers of America, of Ohio and of
Madison County and London make
the American people the best in
formed people in the world. And
the publications of The Madison
Press Company are proud to be
notches in the real KEY TO
FREEDOM.
