want to know where your sheep are spending their hours these Sunday lust take i look Into the laundromat and hats where everyones at these ft was the flu bug that did It to me Two weeks of feeling less than great woozy and Just out of spirits and way own low No motivation no locomotion Just no pep whatever You can imagine what thats like In a family of eight when youre the cleaning cog In the wheel Everything begins to back up and come Sunday three weeks later Its either church next door or a trip to the local laundromat which will make you feel more like a Christian for the rest of the week than any sermon from St Christopher himself Same thought Well It seems that Just about every other person and his wife had thought the same thing The old machines were ripping off at a great pace husbands complaining about having to do the family wash while their wives ducked off to church wives about leaving their husbands tucked soundly In bed Machines chugging extractors whirring and dryers purring as efficient wash mongers Inserted their clothes dumped in the soap placed corns in the slot setting up their morning schedule of ef ficient washday patterns Sundays popular According to the gentleman in charge of the laundromat Saturday used to be the busy day but because it was such an involved one with grocery shopping and all Sunday washing sessions are fast becoming a popular

or could it be that that particular area of flock had gone past the place of no return Maybe it could prove a thought for consideration if he simply set up his church service right in the laundromat Itself Of course It could always present the problem of what service he would use which could ac commodate the numerous denominations the people who had strayed from whatsoever tabernacle Next to

hurrying not to be caught by Sunday conscious Christians who Would not condone my washing principles when I was discovered Our regular church service had been shortened and already the congregation was leaving Once again I was caught In the bind of being too closely situated to St Johns Church There I was garbed in slacks and sweater carrying baskets of clothing trapped two Inches tall and looking full Into the face of my minister I squeaked with chagrin as he smiled wistfully down at me and said Good Morning and how are you today r I smiled and sprinted into the house and began dampening the clothes for ironing Next Sunday Ill be In church Breakin theft at office Thievery occurred in the Township office lost weekend when thieves broke into the building through a broken basement window and absconded with a three year old Underwood electric typewriter a small adding machine and a new transistor radio Township clerk Lloyd Hlndley discovered the break in upon arrival at
