PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2«. 1»7« Show "Burning Hell" film At Baptist Church EDUCATIONAL) Learning Center Serves "The Burning Hell," will be shown at the First Baptist church, 509 N. Front street. McHenrv. Sundav evening, Nov. 28.at 7 p.m. "The Burning Hell" which stars a host of Christian per formers and hosted by Evangelist Estus Pirkle, is probably the first motion picture in the history of films to attempt documenting the miseries and torments of a literal burning hell. Hollywood know-how is credited for much of the realism in this film made by the Nashville based Ormond organization. Ron Ormond, who spearheads the company, spent most of his life in the Hollywood studios as both producer and director until he and his family were saved and moved south to Tennessee A special "hell set" had to be constructed in which to ac­ complish that end. But prior to the construction of the "hell" and other sets, much time was spent in the Holy Land to do special scenes. Headed bv Evangelist Estus Pirkle, seventy people made the long trek to the Middle East to appear in scenes > at Mount Sinai, Caesarea and Emmaus. "To add authenticity," tim Ormond will tell you. Young Ormond who works as first assistant to his veteran film producing dad will also tell you that his tour to the Holy l>and was the greatest ex­ perience of his life. "One of the great things about this film." Evangelist Pirkle added, "was how it effected so many lives. People were saved even while the picture was being made." "Some of the outstanding 'special effects' and scenes in "The Burning Hell" are just unbelievably real." This from Ron English, Circulation Manager with the Sword of the Lord America's largest religious weekly publication. His reference undoubtedly alluded to such spectacular scenes as the Korah-Moses Confrontation from Numbers 16: 16, 32,; Lazarus being escorted to Heaven by the Angels and Lazarus sitting in the bosom of Abraham. The Lake of Fire; the Bottomless Pit and other equally fascinating Bible-inspired sequences. The cast includes hundreds IN HONOR SOCIETY Twenty-six students at Illinois State university were initiated last Spring into ISU's Mu chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, a national honorary society in education, according to a list released Nov. 18 by the chapter.

He ex­ plained that the center's resources may be used by grade school and high school students as well as adults. "While th LRC does not have as many best sellers as local libraries, the center is building its fiction collection," said Dunlap. He added any county resident may make recom­ mendations for materials he would like the LRC to purchase. The nearly 4,000 records and tapes include folk, jazz and popular music as well as classical. There are language study materials including records and tapes-books to use with them-available for students of French, Spanish, German and Russian.

Cigarette smoking has been shown to be the primary con­ tributing factor to the six to eight year advantage in longevity of.women over men in a recent study by Dr. G.H. Miller, Director of Studies on Smoking in Edinboro, Pa. The three major theories - the female hormone protection theory, the excessive stress theory, and the male genetic inferiority theory - which have been used explain this dif­ ference are shown to be of minor or no significance in the recent phenomenon of the in­ creasing longevity of women compared to men. This study is reported in the September 1976 issue of the Journal of Breathing, the of­ ficial journal of the Illinois Lung Association located in Springfield. The report is an indepth study and continuation of the Northwestern Penn­ sylvania Study on Smoking and Health which was released in June 1975 by the Journal of Breathing. Some of the major findings produced by the study are: (1) The male non-smoker lives one- fifth longer than the average smoker who does not quit smoking; (2) The woman non- smoker increases her life span by one-fourth compared to the average smoker and by one- third compared to the heavy smoker; (3) There is very little difference in longevity between the male and female non- smoker; (4) Smoking is more deadly for the female than the male; (5) Those smokers who start late or quit early increase their life span over that of continuous smokers; (6) The more a person smokes,the more it will reduce his life span; (7) Pipe and cigar smoking do not appear to have any effect on longevity: (8) Pollution and obesity are additional sources of longevity curtailment for the non-smoking male; (9) Obesity for non-smoking women has only slight effects on longevity and (10; The impact of pollution and obesity for smokers appears to be of little consequence since they die at the same early age whether or not the confounding factors are present. Approximately 7,500 in­ dividuals were involved in the study to discover the impact of smoking on longevity in a fairly homogeneous and stable population - Erie County, Pennsylvania. The population considered in this study consisted of detailed information on those who died in the years 1972 through 1974, partial population study of The magazine collection includes foreign language publications as well as magazines for amateur radio enthusiasts and farmers. There are craft magazines, business publications, and magazines for people interested in building their own airplanes. The LRC has a collection of National Geographic Magazines dating back to 1916. Currently the LRC is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday. The center is closed on weekends. The LRC is located on the first floor of the Main hall building at the MCC campus. f i l M E N T E R P R I S E S ^ ANNOUNCES THE OPENING SUN., NOV. 27!

FRIDAY 9 to 9 f • - ] those who died in the years 1966 through 1971, and additional data on deceased family relatives from the above two populations concerning their smoking habits. The forms used for the in­ terviews were designed so that a great deal of vital in­ formation on longevity and smoking levels of the deceased could be forth-coming in a comparatively short time. Despite the fact that men average more total smoking years than women, the results of this study show quite con­ clusively that women cigarette smokers die earlier than men cigarette smokers. The study showed that men and women non-smokers live to be approximately the same age when confounding factors such as pollution, obesity and alcohol were eliminated. Therefore, it became apparent from the data that practically all longevity differences bet­ ween the male and female can be explained on the basis of smoking alone. Thus, the ex­ cessive stress theory, the female hormone protection theory, and the male genetic inferiority theory can be permanently laid to rest when considered as the primary causes of the male-femlae longevity difference. Based on the data of the present study and on recent research on teenage smoking which shows that the per­ centage of male and female teenage smokers is ap­ proximately equal, it is possible to predict that by the year 2000 the trend of women living longer than men will reverse itself and women will be dying about two to four years earlier than men. Anyone wishing a copy of the study may write to the Illinois Lung Association, Box 2576, Springfield, II. 62708. Any questions on the study should be directed to Dr. G.H. Miller, Director, Studies on Smoking, Botf-246, Edinboro, Pa. 16412.
