Instead the Rev. David Nakoff blessed the cross with wafer carried from the river at an indoor service ending the three hour Epiphany devotionals. Services began at 8 o'clock this morning at the church, Front and Franklin streets.

As the service started Father Nakoff asked if there were any volunteers to rescue the wooden cross from the swollen Susquehanna. Failing to get any volunteers he announced the service would be held in the church. It was the first time in many years that the outdoor service was not held. Last year it was held in the driving blizzard which paralyzed traffic and contributed greatly to the March flood, yet the congregation trudged through knee deep snow and stood at the river's edge to carol and "bless the waters." 4 This State Insists YOU Drive Safely FALLS, CUTS HEAD Falling in the Steelton High School Gymnasium yesterday afternoon, Jacob Bryent, 11, 138 Ridge street, suffered cuts and bruises of the head.
