SUNDAY. OCTOBER 20

Children who are proficient
readers have a great advantage
over their friends. They can finish
a comic book before the druggist
tells them to put it down. Seri-
ously, children who are attenders
at Sunday School DO have an ad-
vantage when their parents are
also church goers and sincere
Christians in their private lives.
The benefit to the children is be-
yond computation. Nothing par
ents do for their children, we be-
lieve, can equal in value the cul-
tivation Of spiritual literacy and
familiarity with God.
Sunday School is at 9:45, the

The Rev. John M Seherch, Pastor
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20
Worship is not just the act of
giving something to the church !;
for example, praise, prayer and
offering; it is just as much the act
of receiving something. AS we wor-
ship, God gives Himself to us in
forgiveness, love and strengthen
ing. 1t is what we receive each
Sunday in church that keeps US
coming back again and again, not
what we have to give. Perhaps you
have never discovered what God
has to offer through worship. If
not, Reformation Lutheran Church
invites you to worship in church
either in persons, or by means of
radio, this Sunday morning. There
you will find forgiveness, the grace
of God-and there you will wor-
ship.
The Choir will rehearse this
Thursday evening at 1880 in the
home of Mr.. Paul Teare. If you
enjoy singing, the choir will en-
joy having you sing with them.
The Junior Choir rehearses at

BY SYLVIA PORTER

"The traffic jam already has
made a fiction of the 40-hour
week for the commuter. He
loses more time, in many cases,
getting to and from work than
he has gained from shorter hours
en- the job. Without an attack
on the planless growth of cities
and suburbs, the rush hour snarl
is inevitable. The new multi
billion dollar Federal highway
program may aggravate rather
than reduce urban congestion
unless cities coordinate road
construction with community de-
velopment."
Wilfred Owen, one of the ma

Every large American city is
now obsolete. The mass trans

is headed for collapse where it
is not already bankrupt. The
