No Sweat When bathroom temperature is considerably higher than water in your water closet tank, "sweating" often results. One solution involves use of - a special valve which permits warm water to mix with the cold before it enters the tank. Another is a special liner that forms insulation between the incoming cold water and the warmer china tank. You can also buy water closets with insulation already built into them. * .Tm < SHEEP Turned Evert And The Lord hd Pictured, left to right, 'in the new "Gather Our Sheep" program of the First Baptist church t>f McHenry are Pastor Virgle C happell, Sunday School Supt.

The sheep are Shadrach, Meshach Members of the First Baptist church of McHenry are all working in the "Gather Our Sheep" program. Attendance increases and membership expands as the Biblical message of John 10:11, "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep," is spread. Pictured are (from left to right) Pastor Virgle Chappell; Sunday School Superintendent, John Lynch; and Training Union 'Director, Bob Branson. The sheep's names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Atjednego. Increased attendance and projected growth is responsible for the following plans: Fulltime associate pastor r^inistering primarily to teen-agers, additional building expansion, ten busses, increased teaching staff, special weekly ministry to deaf with regular Sunday School and Training union classes. Lynch states, "A considerable effort in the current program is to reveal the reality, power, and literal regenerated new life in Christ to the young people and adults of the McHenry area." Pastor Chappell explains, "I feel one big problem in the lives of the American people today is that much of their exposure to church or religion has left them dry and unchanged. Jesus said in Matthew 15:8,9, 'This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far *from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.' " The enthusiastic pastor went on to quote Christ's words, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The church is expecting great results from and eagerly looking forward to a two-week revival beginning April 27. Special evangelist for these services will be Carl Jacobs from Alton, 111. Leading the music will be Earl Holloway from the First Baptist church in Nashville, Tenn. Each class in the new program has a chart with members' names listed. The absent member is tagged "black sheep", while those present become "white sheep." New members are represented by red sheep.

CHARTER ISSUED The state has issued a charter to the National Stamping, Inc., "to conduct a metal design, engineering and stamping business." Well, ifs tifne to vote again! This time it is fer our local government. Seems t' me, ifs most important t' be interested in how the local election turns out, as it affects us directly, and personally. The folks we vote inter office at this time, will have much t' say fer as many as four years ahead, about things affecting our community. The important thing fer everyone, is t' use the best jedgment he or she can, in choosing from the candidates, whether they are new, or folks who hev served us loyally since the last election. It behooves us all, to try and find out all we kin about each and every one who is liable t' hold important offices in our governin' body, and then vote fer the one we think is the best qualified fer the job. Many folks think the small, local elections ain't important enough t' bother goin' t' the polls fer. but that ain't so. We have a fine town and Pm sure we are proud of it. Keeping it a place t' be proud of depends a lot on the kind o' Sweater Care After each wearing, air a sweate' thoroughly, then fold and put it in a drawer. Never hand a sweater on a hanger between wearings. folk we pick t' run it. All elections are important. It takes little time, compared wi' other things, but that little bit o' time kin affect the entire community, one way or f other. Doin' our patriotic duty, is really doin' our duty to ourselves, and our families. Younguns should be taught to take pride in goin' F the polls, and how important it is to know something about the folks we attempt to elect. April first happens f be the big day, this time. Lefs not make it an April Fool's joke. Let's get out and vote. Great-grandma, nearly ninety- two, votes by proxy, 'cause she caih't get to the polls anymore. Seems f me thet it could be that important t* a lot o' younger folks, who might let the opportunity slide by. Let's try f keep the ones we like, in office, put new ones where we feel it's good fer the community, and do our duty as citizens o* this fine community.
