GOSPEL TEMPLE

Our Sunday morning worship
was highlighted by the message
from our pastor, Rev. w. L. Battle
The Victory" and used for scrip
who chose the subject, Faith Is
ture baris, Mark 1923 and / Cor.
1888. There are three elements
of faith, knowledge, accent and
appropriation" stated Rev. Battle,
"and when these are completed
you have faith and faith is the
victory"
Our visitors were Mrs. Zelma
Ashby Of Buffalo, N. Y, Miss
Julia Strong of Henning, MINI.
Mrs. G. Hoffman and Mr.. L. p.
Jones, both of Chicago, III.
Sunday night we were again en-
couraged and inspired with a ser
mon from our pastor, subject,
THE Sacrifice of Righteousness, -
text II Cor. SO. Rev. Battle said
that most everyone who has made
accomplishments in life had to
make unknown sacrifices. but
when christians are told that the
bible speaks against lying, drink
ing, committing adultery and when
asked to give one tenth of their
earnings for Gods work, they
think this is too much of a sacri-
flee. This is what makes hypocrits
in the church.
We were blessed to have a dele
cation from the Worlds Pente-
costal convention worship with us
Sunday night. One of their number
interpreted the message to them.
You're alwas welcome at the
Gospel Temple, the Church with
a warm atmosphere.

the obvious reference TO y. s,
Sen. Harry y. Byrd Of Virginia,
describing massive resistance as

In his article, the clergyman
further stated that the states

Spring Changes Driving Habits

The first few days of March certainly
set the scene for an early Spring, but now
that picture has changed to some degree.
With the arrival Spring and for several
weeks to follow the weather is likely to be
extremely varied, with spring showers,
possible freezes, occasional snow flurries,
and the good Lord only knows what else
According to Ralph West president of
the Ohio Safety Council, the change also
brings about noticeable Shift in the pattern
of traffic accidents which prevailed during
the winter months. While collisions between
motor vehicles continue to be the number
one type of accident, collision of a motor
vehicle with a fixed object, usually third
or fourth Of the list, moves up into second
place.
According to the Ohio Safety Council
president, the possibility strengthens for
several reasons. For one thing, there are
some motorists who drove very little during
the bad winter weather, and whose driving
habits may have grown slightly rusty"
They easily have lost some degree of the
knack of controlling their cars on wet
Or slippery streets
Another strong cause for this type of
single car accident is the extremely poor
condition in which winter leaves most roads
Many Of the secondary state highways, as
we'll as the township and county roads,
lack sufficient maintenance during the entire
year, but now that winter has left its mark
IN added chuck holes, soft spots, and erOded
shoulders, the situation continues to add
to the gravity Of the Councils regard for
safe driving. Many other roads thruout the

state have suffered similar damage.
The motOriSt who does not exercise
caution may drive at a speed which he
normally considered safe, only to find that
new road hazards may cause him to lose
control of his car more easily.
Finally, Mr. West reports, there is a
substantial increase in the number of
vehicles in use.
with the arrival of Spring, there is a
greater opportunity of collision between
cars or with fixed objects than there would
be with less travel" West explained. 81
would not be surprised" he added, eff some
of these collisions were not actually the
result of folks craneing their necks to see
the crocuses blooming in the Jones front
yard, or looking to see whether the buds are
opening on certain trees You can't blame
drivers for being anxious to see some of
these harbingers of spring, but they simply
must remember that driving is a full-time
Job. If you want to view the beauties Of
nature, you had better do it with the car
parked we'll off the travelled portion of the
highway"
For the first two months of 1858 and
during the portion of March just past, the
driving public in Noble county has
established somewhat of record for accidents
fortunately many have been of minor
nature. In bad weather drivers are otter
extra-careful and anticipate the actions o1
drivers ahead. Yet, there is that inclination
for drivers to relax in spring, instead OF
remembering that driving is always full
time job.

Folk Lore Tales of Olive, Ohio
By A. WADE WELLS

kissing games were the TOPS
in entertainment. Post Office
was always a sure-fire hit. The
participants had rapturous
moment alone in the dark for
kiss. Many romances had their
beginnings at these parties where
Dan Cupid was always very
active in helping Prince Charm
ing to win his fair Lady (who
usually GOT HER MAN)
Musical chairs; charades, pan
tomines, Button button who's
got-the-button; drop the hand
kerchief; blind mans bluff; pin
ming the tail on the donkey;
crooked questions and answers;
bobbing for apples in an open
tub of water, and countless other
games.
Proper decorum was thesrule
No rowdyism or drinking were
permitted. Rough-housing wasn't
dreamed of in those days.
Romance demands soft light
ing and the early grease lamps
and talloW candles were just
right for home parties. Whale
oil lamps were followed by coal
oil or kerosene lamps with re-
Electors. Then came the gas and
finally, the electric light.
The most beautiful of all were
the ceiling chandeliers, having
icicle lights, with crystal prism
pennants which shone like dia-
monds. They used coal oil, later
being wired for electricity.
But best of all lighting is the
romantic moon which shone then
as now. 1t just SEEMED to have
a softer glow in those days!
When gas was first piped into
Olive, there were no meters.
Open pipes stood along the side
walk about ten feet high and the
flaming gas roared into the open
air five or six feet high.
Coal and wood CRATES in the
fireplaces were filled with brick
bats and gas was turned on in
them. The same method was used
in old fashioned coal and wood
stoves.
Later came meters with con-
trolled pressure, affording in
side lighting and regulated
streetlamps. A good grade of coal
was delivered for So 90 per ton.
This low cost for coal, when
wood could be had for the ask
ing, caused a slow and gradual
switch-over to the use of gas.
Today, electrical lighting and
heating are giving gas close com
petition with many modern de-
velopments that are astounding.
The latest heating by electricity
is the one-temperature all-year-
round, reverse-cycle furnace for
not only heating in the winter,
but also cooling in the summer.
