Firemen chopped through the plane's structure to reach the trapped pilots. The plane had been chartered for the trip to Pellston, by the Fox Valley Snow Drift-ers, a group of skiers living in several Northern Illinois communities. Many passengers praised the skill of the pilot, who they said pancaked the craft In a small space between houses in the suburb before the plane piled Into the Golubski home.

Norbert Wachowskl, a neighbor of Golubskl's said, "I was watching TV when I heard the crash. I couldn't believe it was a tragedy so close. A neighbor came running over and told me what had happened and I threw on a jacket and ran out. "By that time, said Wachowskl, "many of our other neighbors were around and we all started to look for the Golub-skls. Then the people started tumbling out of the plane." Another neighbor, Mrs.

Dieter Cur Us, said after the power went out in- the araa, she lit candles and went around alerting neighbors. She said it was about then that stunned and hookup passengers of the wrecked airliner came trooping Into her kitchen. She said she gave water and aspirin to people who needed them. One man was bleeding, Mrs. Cur Us said, so she led him to a couch in the recreation room.

Then police came in and ordered everyone from the area because gas lines were broken. Fire Chief Selke said, "It was a miracle that there wasn't an exDlosion or fire. There could have been a real tragedy." Gene Fisher, a former fireman who said he knew something about airplanes, told newsmen he disconnected the plane's radio and other electrical equipment to prevent such an occurrence.

But the six all suffered from shock and were taken to a hospital. Alan Hahn, 27, of Elgin, 111., one of the passengers, said as the plane approached CHare Airport the pilot appeared to drop low to get under the over cast sky.

The pastor has received many clippings and articles that, he says have been most helpful and sincerely appreciated. He is always happy to hear from those who listen to the meditations. The members of the First Baptist Church, who sponsor and support the telephone ministry, are constantly assisting Rev. Mugg in furnishing ideas for the program as well as passing along comments they hear from those who listen.

When the pastor has found it necessary to be out of the city one of the laymen of the church comes forward and makes a recording for the meditation program. The members of the church have expressed a desire to continue the "Dial-A-Devotion" as long as area listeners find It of spiritual benefit and feel that it fills a need in meditation not otherwise so conveniently obtainable. The Dial-A-Devotlon one-minute meditation is giving a wonderful and needed service to all Christians according to unsolicited comment. We believe listener! are most grateful to Rev. Mugg and the members of the First Baptist Church In making the Spiritual program possible.
