Will Check Fund
To Repay Unused
Facility Taxes

West Jefferson's Village Council
passed no major legislation at the
Monday night session but ironed
out several problems which have
been delaying factors in several
earlier meetings.
Council members agreed that an
investigation should be made to
determine the necessary steps in
refunding special assessment pay
mentS to some residents who have
been charged for a sewer extern
sion, but have never had the ex-
tension made available to them.
Some residents have refused to
pay the assessment, and others
will expect their payment refunds
if and when council finally decides
on the problem. Solicitor William
S. Culp said his opinion is that the
residents of the particular area
can not be charged for a service
which was never made available
for their use.
They also accepted the Mayors S
report which netted the village a
total of 81, 1,1S0.15 from fines and
costs, even after all village ordin-
ance fines had been distributed to
the Law Library fund
Clerk Robert Recob read a let
ter from Burgess and Nipple, engi-
neers, stating that approximately
30 tons of State Highway quality
asphalt will be needed before the
new paving in the Fellows Avenue
addition will be ready for accept
ance.
Councilman Marvin Shepherd
reiterated a complaint against one
West jefferson resident who
Shepherd said, is using the street
as a place to conduct his automo-
bile business. Mayor RAIDER told
council that he, with the law en-
forcement officers, will see that
some action is taken to clear the
private property from the street
Solicitor Culp said it appeared that
the business owner is of the wrong
impression that the street has beer
abandoned. Culp said the street
has not been abandoned, and that
the village has announced no in
tention of such a move.
Members also asked Mayor Ra.
der to contact Tom Lowe and the
Catholic Church in move to clear
brush and limbs which are a safe
ty hazard at the intersection OF
Pearl and Twin Streets. They en-
phasized that the Cbstructions car
be moved at little cost, and with
out great damage to the appear
ance of the property.

The days of horse pulling con-
tests at county fairs, with the

gone, and the modern counterpart
is the tractor with deafning roar

IF Then Have No Part With
Sacrament Meeting includes Footwashing
For Spring Fork Enterprise Baptist Church

One Of the Four Freedoms ex-
ercised most widely by Americans
is Freedom of Worship. In no
other place in the world can so
many different denominations be
found, and with so many different
means of worship.
Madison County, with people
from all over the United States
living here, can claim several diff
ferent types of churches, and al
most as many different branches
of some churches, all aimed at one
goal, with all using entirely diff
ferent interpretations of the Bible
to accomplish the goal.
One of the rural churches, with
several followers in M d is o n
County is the Spring Fork Enter
prize Baptist Church which meets
regularly in Alder Chapel just
north of West Jefferson on what
is commonly known as East Pike.
Once each year they have special
meeting, with emphasis on The
Sacrament, based on the Last Sup
per.
Although most of the MEM
bers of the group are former
residents of Eastern Ken
tucky's Anglo-Saxon stock,
they have continued to add to
their membership after NOV
ing to Ohio. Many of the peo-
pie participating in the serv-
ices Sunday are residents of
Columbus where they have
been employed. Most of them
will gather again Sunday at
the billiards Fairgrounds
where they will take part in
the annual Kentucky reunion.
At the reunion services they
will get together again with
singing, preaching and pray
er in a service which will give
several of their preachers
chance to "talk."
AS with most Christian groups,
they take the bread and wine as
symbols of ChriSts broken body
and His blood. But they go step
beyond what most modern church
es observe as the Communion.
They still adhere to the precept of
ffootwa chinpn and emnhaSiZe that
scripture from St John 13 which
says that IF I wash thee not, then
have no part with thee"
They emphasize that they should
do the footwashing as part of
their Christian duty, striving to
follow as closely in the manner of
Christ as possible. They stress that
it does not make them Christian,
but that they do it because they
are Christians.

Should the services seem
strange and unusual to other chur-
ches, they are such only because
of a difference. Baptism by sprink-
ling, or infant baptism would seem
just as odd to the membership of
the Spring Fork Enterprise Bap-
tist group. The freedom to worship
is never more clear than on Sun
days when the many different
faiths assemble and each worships
according to their own belief and
each without fear of oppression.)

Griffs Have to Beat Larsen

Rise Of Sievers,

Encourage Club
BY BURTON HAWKINS

The Senators end their pre-
season campaigning against ma
jor teams today at Griffith Sta
dium, confronted with the task
of beating Don Larsen of the
Yankees if they hope to end a
four-game losing streak: Regard
less of the outcome, there will
be consolation in their ranks
they start even with the world
Monday.
The 11-19 record they carried
into today's contest represents
just SO much exercise. While
'Cincinnati's clouters may have
forced an agonizing reappraisal
of Washington's pitching staff in
beating the Senators in seven of
10 games, some notes of encour-
agement have been detected.
Hits in Tough Luck
Chuck Dresser is enthused, for
instance, about the hitting Of
Shortstop Lyle Luttrell, who
went for the collar in five
chances last night in a IA loss
to the Reds before 6,764 custo-
mers but, nevertheless, impressed
his boss.
Luttrell Dashed two on the
nose and that's the reason for
Dressen's delight. IAN J want
him to do is just keep swinging
the way he is now Dresser
declared. THE hits will drop
in for him if he does"
Lyle was hitting in tough luck
last night. In his first appear
ance his sizzling smash was back
handed spectacularly by Third
Baseman Alex Gramas and in
the seventh inning he laced a
scorcher directly into the paws
of Leftfielder Art Schult.
Sievers Perks Up
Heartening, too. is the recent
hitting Of Roy Sievers. In his
last seven games Roy has COL
lected three home runs and a
triple and has batted at a .375
clip.

their final extensive action
against Larsen. who achieved
the first perfect game in World
Series history against Brooklyn
last fall.
Against Larsen and the world
champs. Dresser will send Chuck
