Special An old landmark of North Lewisburg will soon be history. For years it has given pleasure to many as they drove past and viewed the beautiful stained glass windows with the large one in the center, "The Good 'The building was originally the Methodist Protestant Church.

Some persons remember the church 80 years or so ago; Estella Tomlin recalls when she attended Sunday School there and Frances Wehe lives in the old home place across from the church. She recalls memories of the friendship she enjoyed with the minister's children years ago. After merging with the Methodist Episcopal Church the building was sold to the Daughters of Union Veterans. "Decoration" Day (now Memorial Day) parades have assembled in front of the building for years, including Mrs. Ricketts cub scouts with flags distributed by Virginia Davis, who would march up town and then to the cemetery.

The building was sold to the Knights of Pythias but the D.A.U.V. and the Brunell Temple 327 of the Pythian Sisters continued to meet there. The D.A.U.V. merged with Richwood and the membership of the Knights dwindled so, they finally gave up their charter and the building was taken over by the Grand Lodge. The Sisters were offered the building for a price they couldn't accept because of the needed repairs and near the stage of being condemned by the Village.

Steve Carter who owns a garage behind the Temple bought the building. It will be demolished as soon as weather permits after the March 3 auction when all the equipment inside will be offered for sale, including the stained glass windows. It is hoped someone will purchase the windows so they won't be destroyed.

"It's outrageous," said William Winpisinger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. "It is inconsistent with the intent of the (bankruptcy) law.

We just have to go to the Congress for relief." Gerald F. McEntee, head of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said tbe ruling was "devastating" and "this means we really have got to go out and work" for new legislation. The House is expected to soon take up proposed revision in the bankruptcy laws. But that would involve broader changes than the issue in Wednesday's ruling. In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled that a key portion of the current bankruptcy law is unconstitutional, and Congress has been wrestling unsuccessfully since then to come up with a solution.

In Wednesday's case, the high court ruled in favor of a small building supply company, Bildisco Manufacturing Inc. of West Orange, N.J. WASHINGTON (AP) Six Ohio congressman have helped present to House Speaker Thomas O'Neill petitions that call for a full accounting of the 2,490 Americans still missing in Indochina. Reps. Douglas Applegate, Bob McEwen, Tony Hall, Thomas Kindness, Ralph Regula and Michael DeWine stood by in O'Neill's House office Wednesday as the petitions were presented to the speaker.

Applegate and Hall are Democrats. The other four are Republicans. "What we really want is an accounting of the 2,490 that are still missing in action," Applegate said after the meeting. A spokesman for Applegate's office said the petitions were made in conjunction with the congressman's plans to introduce a resolution in the House today calling for a full accounting of the fate of the missing. "We would love to have the speaker support it and have it brought up as soon as possible," the spokesman said of the resolution.

The petitions were presented by Terry McConnellw of Cleveland. McConnell is founder of the Veterans Vigil Society, which serves as color guard at the Vietnam memorial in Washington. He said there are between 125,000 signatures on the petitions' McConnell said he Wants to "make sure that every congressman in this country knows that some of his constituents are missing." "Today is the beginning of them taking it by the horns and dealing with this," said McConnell. "It works much better when the representatives of these people are doing their job, and this is, to me, the best initiative I've seen. I hope what comes out of this is that 2,490 families know the fate of somebody in their family." McConnell said 129 Ohioans are among those missing in action.

The state ranks fourth in the nation in the percentage of its residents who are missing as a result of the Vietnam War. "It's just an effort to communicate to the families involved that we care, that we'll do anything we can to relieve their pain," said McEwen, who, along with Applegate, serves on the House Veterans Affairs' Committee. Applegate said his resolution, which has about 75 co-sponsors, calls for a full accounting of the missing and requests that the administration report on its efforts in that area. "There were a lot of aggravations, a lot of problems, a lot of good times. Finally, it's in the hands where it belongs," McConnell said of the petitions.

"It's a big relief off of my shoulders to tell you the truth. This is where you get it done."
