Casey StenqeI lives in private world

story Of one Of the games biggest winners
The Yankees had won the 1856 World Series, the
champagne was in place and the walters were set to
pour when someone made discovery that could
have tossed a wet blanket over a gala Waldorf
Astoria victory party.
Casey Steneel, the 65-year-oId manager Of the
champions, was mssingl
There was a hasty telephone call.
Party? What party?" Stengel answered in that
familiar sandpaper voice. Didn't even know there
was gonna be one" What was Stengel doing while
the rest of the club celebrated? Just sitting here
in my room, figuring out few moves that maybe
might help us next year..
The incident, unreveaed up to now. offers good

Close To The Top

With seven American League pennants and six
world championships under his belt, Stenge is only
a short pop fly away from the all-time records Of
seven world championships set by Joe Mccarthy,
nine pennants won by Mccarthy and 10 by John
McGraw If Casey betters those records, he'll be the
wnnineest manager in baseball annals But he prob
ably already has another record - that of being the
loneliest manager in history.

til now to the idol. !" By a
weak conscience, Paul does not
mean they were confused as
to what was right and wrong
but rather that they were
weak, being inadequately in
formed by knowledge. But
meat commendeth us not to
God: for neither, if we eat not,
are we the worse" In it
self, Paul is saying, food is
morally neutral. See Romans
14:17 where Paul states, 'the
kingdom of God is not meat
and drink; but righteousness,
and peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost" But take heed lest
by any means this liberty of
yours become a stumbling
block to them that are weak"
Christian liberty does not
consist in license to do any
thing that one wishes to do,
even if it proves to be harm
full to others. For if any
man see thee which hast
knowledge sit at meat at the
idols temple, shall not the
conscience of him which is
weak be emboldened to eat
those things which are offer
ed to idols" - Often the mis-
take is made of following the
example set by others because
of the confidence placed in
them.
'And through thy know
ledge shall the weak brother
perish, for whom Christ died"
To cause to miss the mark a
person for whom Christ died
is to be guilty of making TIC
blood of Christ of no effect
for that soul. "But when We
sin SO against the brethren,
and wound their weak consci-
ence, We sin against Christ. -
Sin against a brother for whom
Christ died amounts to sin
against Christ himself.
Wherefore, if meat make
my brother to offend. / will
eat no flesh while the world
standeth, lest / make my
brother to offend" Liberty
for the Christian means the
freedom to avoid doing things
which may be harmful to
others.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
Christian freedom is often
mistaken for license to violate
Christian principles. This ac-
counts for much misguided
conduct among us. The right
or wrong of a matter involves
more than the person who
commits the act. There are
others who are usually affec-
ted.
A true Christian will discip-
line himself to abtsain from
things harmful to others, even
though he may believe it is
harmless for him.
The practical value and use
of things also help to deter
termine whether or not they
are right or wrong.

SOUTH CHARLESTON - It is
unlawful for a person or persons
to occupy a house trailer in a trail

village of South Charleston for
more than 90 days, and all house
trailers and occupants must be
registered at the Town Hall with
the Village Manager, according to
an ordinance passed by members
of the South Charleston Village
Commission. 1t is also unlawful for
a trailer park operator to allow
such house trailers and occupants
to remain in the trailer park long

The ordinance defines trailer
park" as any site where three or
more house trailers are parked,
and no exception is made whether
or not the trailer is on wheels,

Once the occupants have resided

Milk Ring Tests
Planned For Use
In Local Herds

The area Brucellosis Petitions
for Madison County has been COM
pleted according to John Z. Moore,
County Agricultural Extension Ag-
ent.
The Madison County Dairy Ser
vice Unit and the Beef Improve
ment Association members assimi-
lated the signatures of cattle own
ers on petitions for a state-financ-
ed milk ring test The test is an
initial screening program through
which suspicious" herds are To-
Gated.
A state owned mobile laboratory
will begin testing operations in
Madison County approximately
April 9th according to DIR. A. j..
Roth, Springfield, Ohio, State Vet
erinarian.
The petitions must bear the sig
natures of over so per cent of the
cattle owners, who must own
three-fourths of the cattle in the
county The milk ring program,
which involves the testing Of COM
posite herd milk samples, will re-
quire from four to five weeks in
the county.
If the composite sample tests
suspicious" one or more animals
in the herd from which It came
may be infected with bruceilosis.
Blood tests of individual animals in
such a herd then will be available
without cost. The brucellosis con-
troll program is voluntary, not
compulsory, even for those who
may have signed petitions seeking
the program
The state would spend between
$1,000 and $4,000 on the local
tests. Eighty-four of Ohio's SO
counties are now included in the
program.
| The trend now in milksheds in
the nation is toward ruling out ac-
ceptance of milk from any but
brucelloSis-free herds.
| Brucellosis reduces milk produc-
ton 20 to % per cent. It causes
loss through abortion, reducing in
creases sterility; one aborting cow
out of every five will become ster-
lie. 1t also increases mastitis. Fin
ally, the disease may be contracted
by humans. In man, brucellosis is
known as undulant fever.
Beef cattle owners may receive
free blood tests of their animals,
by-applying at the mobile Iabora-
tory.
Further notice will be made on
the tests.
