Individual groups meet in homes at convenient locations one evening each week for a "Bible study". This is a one-hour group study, using the Bible study aids published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. The Bible study groups meet on Tuesday at 8 p.m. One group meets at the Kingdom Hall while the others meet at various individual homes. Of course it costs money to keep up a Kingdom Hall. Therefore, all those associated with the congregation have the privilege of contributing financially to its maintenance. There* is never any solicitation of funds, nor is a collection ever taken up. A contribution box is provided in each Kingdom Hall so that each one can contribute as he is able, 'not under compulsion' but "just as he has resolved in his heart." -- 2 Cor. 9:7, 8:12. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have a clergy and laity division or distinction in their congregation. All members of the congregation, upon being baptized at an age of consent, are ministers. The presiding minister of the Woodstock congregation is Dominick Fontana. Mr. Fontana stated that the members of the congregation attend three Christian assemblies each year. He also announced that a Circuit assembly was not being planned for the month of April on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, at the Larkin high school, 1475 Larkin avenue, Elgin. Two thousand are expected to attend. The Circuit assembly will be concluded by a public Bible lecture on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., to be given by A.B. Stutler on the subject, "Law and Order -- When and How?" The public is invited free of charge. TOY TUNNELS ARE HAZARDOUS, SAYS GOVERNMENT The following news release, dated March 24/ has been received from the Food and Drug administration, Department of Health Education and Welfare: "The government warned today that fabric-covered toy tunnels distributed nationally by four manufacturers are flammable and have been declared a banned hazardous substance. The tunnels, described by the FDA as an unnecessary and avoidable risk, are about 30 inches in diameter, six to eight feet long, formed of wire hoops covered with fabric. No reports of death or injury have been received, but tests indicate that under normal use there is a risk of the tunnel catching fire with the child inside, which could cause serious personal injury from burns and smoke inhalation. More than 50,000 of these toys have been distributed under the names 'Play Tunnels', •Batman Cave Tunnel,' 'Jungle Book Tunnel', 'Lollipop Red Funny Tunnel', 'Tun-L-Fun', and 'Funny Tunnel'. The 'Funny Tunnel' comes unassembled Kfekit form. While some recent shipments of these toys are labeled as 'Flameproof, JDA tests show that rain or washing will remove the flameproof properties and after the toy dries it is as flammable as the untreated tunnel. The manufacturers were notified today that the tunnels are banned hazardous substances under the Federal Hazardous Substances - Act, that further shipments are prohibited and all stocks are to be removed from the market. Any tunnels produced in the future must be adequately flameproofed and bear labeling stating that fact. " These tunnels are manufactured by: Rapapprt Brothers, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, Popular Products, Chicago, Illinois, Adipondack-Peters, Inc., Dolgeville, New York, and New Tork Toy Corporation, New York."
