LYDIA WILLIAMS A few weeks ago a picture and an article appeared in the Weimar Mercury about one of our residents, Mr. James Hines, who had completed the 50th year as a member of the Masonic lodge and we congratulate him. The Masonic lodge has always meant a lot to me and I have been a member over 50 years of the Eastern Star in Missouri and Mrs. Lelia Meisell has been a member of the Eastern Star at Columbus over 50 years. Another of our residents that we all like very much, Mrs.

Martha Kallus. a few years ago received a 50-year membership pin from. the Catholic Women's Fraternal Union of Texas. I do not know if we have other residents who have had memberships in other organizations, besides their churches. over 50 years or not, but congratulations to all of you.

Started in Texas In an article in the Texas Parade magazine in the December issue of 1971 is the story that Robert L. Ripley. whose "Believe It Or Not" cartoons made him world famous. is said to have conceived the idea for the popular newspaper feature while living in Marlin, Falls County. Texas.

Between 1908 and 1924. the New York Giants baseball team travelled to Marlin each March for spring training. Ripley was one of the rookies one year but injured an arm and decided to give up baseball for drawing. One of his first "Believe It Or Not' cartoons concerns Marlin. Texas.

It tells how "Easy Street" there leads to education--it runs into the school grounds. And "Fortune Street" leads to the grave- -it is the route to the lown cemetery. No doubt there are many towns that have never thought of how funny some things sound about their streets. No Billboards One of the "Traveler's Delight" in the same issue tells that one of Texas' few highways where the tourist isn't distracted by billboards is the rugged 66-mile River Road between Presidio and the Big Bend National Park. Built through some of the most spectacular terrain in Texas.

the River Road. officially Farm Road 170. follows what once was a trail for smugglers and which was used even earlier by Spanish explorers. Except for a few highway direction markers, there isn't a billboard or a sign along the entire route. With the speed limit 55 miles an hour it would be possible to travel over an hour enjoying the beautiful scenery without a single signboard appearing at the place where the most beautiful view is.

How thankful I was when the "War on Signboards" took place. We all know they are needed but not as many as there was. Rev. Miller Leads Our regular Sunday church service, 4 to 4:30. was brought by Rev.

David Miller. pastor of the Baptist church. with Mrs. Alma Lester leading the singing of the hyms and Mrs. Myrtle Doggett at the piano.

Rev. Miller selected Paul's letter to' the Philippians. Chapter for his scripture. He said how we can use those words of. Paul's to make us better Christians.

That we who. live here al Parkview have an unequalled, opportunity to have our own' church with all denominations working together to show the world how Christians' can do it. Among our residents 9 denominations are represented Catho-lic, Disciples of Christ (or some just call it "Christian'), Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist. Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, and Christian Scientist. To' go on with what Rev.

Miller said. he said Christianity is Christ coming down and living in us. Paul in his letter said, "If you have fellowship with Christ you will be one mind, thinking always of the other fellow. This is the type of person I want you to show others." Rev. Miller said that those who love Jesus Christ in their hearts will show it by the way they act here at Parkview toward the other residents and those working here.

It was good and would make the whole world better if people who call themselves Christians would practice it. Thanks to. Rev. Miller and those that assisted. also the members of the Church that came.

We were so glad to see Mrs. A. Il. Plagens and her daughter Louise of San Antonio. Mrs.

Lily Hodges had company. Mrs. Minton. Nothington and Mrs. Morris Egypt.

John Peters. How proud we all are of him. Rev. Chas. Carolan and Sister M.

Fidelis also attended. Rev. Peters read passages of scripture from Psalm 23, Ezekiel. Psalm 33. and Matthew.

The comments he made on the scripture were very good and each of us could apply them to ourselves. God does purify His people if they will follow Him and live as, Christians should. In Matthew's gospel, Christ tells US when we correct others that are not living as they should as Christians we are helping them. We should pray for each other and that will bring all of us closer to God. We felt truly blessed and hope that Rev.

Peters can be with us again soon. We have mass each Wednesday, 10 to 10:30. and everyone is welcome. Music Hour Thursday afternoon. 3 to 4.

is our hour of music with Mrs. Agnes Brasher at the piano playing the music we all like to hear. Mrs. Cecil Gerstenberg and Mrs. Brasher close the hour singing hymns and we enjoy that and we try.
