BB CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 18, 1978 Celebrating Debt.-Free Building Church Burns Mortgage Sunday A special mortgage-burn- ing service will take place this Sunday afternoon at the Kin- naird Church of God. This event will mark the payment of all borrowed funds and provide the congregation with a debt-free building. “Beginnings” The local congregation of the Church of God in this area began in March of 1964 in the home of Isaac and Gloria Harms. who had organized a Sunday School and invited children from neighboring homes to attend. Soon, more room was needed and classes moved to the Kinnaird Com- munity Hall, In September of 1965, Ira and Adeline Johnson accepted the call to pastor the pioneer work. By March of 1968 the present property at 804 - 7th Ave. S. was purchased, and the stie cleared for the building of the present structure. Main construction began in the summer of 1968, with outstanding help from a “work group” from Lansing, Mich. U.S.A. under the leadership of Rev. Robert Hazen, In just two weeks the main shell was erected, and from there on the task was completed by many who volunteered their services, Rev. Robert Hazen offi- ciated at the Dedication Service on May 18, 1969. “Highlights” In the years that followed, Kinnaird Church of God en- deavored to minister not only lo its own families, but to provide service to the com- munity and to the world at large. Some of the highlights of the church's brief history are: Kindergarten facilities were provided (1969-1971); weekly radio broadcast “The Christian Brotherhood Hour" (3 yrs.); “Pathfinders Club” minis- tered to many local children {several years); and youth ministry emphasized, resulting in large percentage of youth in the congregation of today. The Outreach Ministry in- cludes an active women’s mis- sionary group; Sunday School completely supports an orphan in the Philippines; partial sup- port of missionaries to North- ern Indians of Canada; partial support of Wycliff printer in New Guinea; Canadian Bible Society, “Food for the Hungry", Gideons of Canada, ete; .

Old Miss Williams is 77 and she never had any children of her own. These three people look around at all the happy nuclear families and wonder why May is Family Month. The month that families look at themselves and say, ‘It's good to be part of a family.'' Those who are not part of a family just look, wonder, and dream of what it must be like to say mom or dad, brother or sister, or her comes Uncle Can anyone remember the days of the TV western Bonanza where you always had the three brothers helping each other get out of trouble? Has anyone recently experienced a big family reunion? ' don't want anybody to start-getting sentimental on me, but | feel very strongly about the value of a good family. | would hope that those fortunate People who are now * members of a warm, loving family will look out at the members of the community who are not so fortunate, and invite someone home to dinner. Mother’s Day has come and gone. Did you remember your mother? What would the family be like If the kids stopped slamming the kitchen door and what if Dad's car didn’t show up some day about supper time? 1 think all of us should think about the family this month and every month. The family Is the very core of our society. Why? Because herein rests the wall of love, and caring, and sharing, and concern. If only all that family caring was contagious and could spread out to the broken families and the lonely people who hear about Mother's Day, and Christmas and Easter Sunday dinners, but remain cold in thelr hearts . In my opinion, the family, the extended family, the nuclear family, or any other kind of family, is very important. | am pleased that governments are coming to recognize the value of the family as the very root and core of our social system. #1, 401 Front St., Castlegar : Furnace .

Then he found plans for one in a 1909 Popular Mechanics magazine, a little plane with double wings and a little tail. “It took about 25 hours; I worked on it for four or five days," said Hawley, who al- tered the plans slightly by using plastic to cover the wings instead of muslin and nylon rigging instead of wire. The glider, which cost $25, had a six-metre wing span and was four metres long.’ It weighed about 20 kilograms. When Hawley tried the glider on for size—the pilot stands in an opening in the lower wing and holds the craft "A long way down,” some- one said. “Yup,” came the dry reply. But Hawley took his glider “in hand and lunged down the hil ill. “He's in the air,” yelled one Spectator, Sure enough, there was Hawley flying through the air, three, four seconds, looking fine. Then came a sound like someone thrashing around in a pile of leaves, Hawley and his glider were in a bush at the bottom of the hill. “Incredible feeling," said an unscathed Hawley. “Got to find a bigger hill.” Know Your Eggs Color of egg yolks may range from pale yellow to orange, depending on the diet of the chicken, and has no effect on quality.

Still, the Popular Mechan- ics article made it sound easy: “Flying in a glider is simply coasting down hill on the air, and is the most interesting and exciting sport imaginable.” That was enough for Haw- ley, who has nearly compicted requirements for a regular pi- lot's licence. Trailed by a handfut of spectators, he car- ried his glider through this rural town of 300 residents to a steep sand hill. Gazing. down, Hawley ap- peared to be having second thoughts.
