(Call-Leader Photo) To the editor: We had a fire up town Friday night a week ago.

The firemen got all the praise, but we had police officers, at the time this fire happened. I didn't hear anything about how great they were. They had all the streets blocked and traffic was bad that late at night. What about a hand for the police, great job, "hay." We got some darn good worker's in this town, I'm sure, but also these guys do a' darn good job too. I've called out to our house too.

And they always get their job done. Good job men. I'm proud of Interested citizen To the editor: As a Christian and as a minister, responsible in large measure for the ministry performed for the Mexican migratory farm workers in this area, I feel it necessary to say to the person who wrote the letter to the editor in last Friday's paper, "I am Iapoligizetoyouthat we may, indeed, be slighting you and others like you in our community. Believe me, it is not an intentional oversight. Obviously, from the tone and content of your letter, you are a person who "hurts" a great deal.

I only regret that you had to attack others who also, in my humble opionion, are truly "hurting" in order to voice your own hurt and sense of rlocnprnHnn Thp rritips nf The Office Education Association of Mid- Central Area Vocational School is now collecting items for their annual OEA Public Auction to be held on Saturday, Oct. 16 at Mid- Central Area Vocational School.

Police said there were no survivors among the 147 passengers and eight crew members on board.

Police and airline sources said the passengers included 85 Italians and 18 West Germans bound for vacations on the southwest coast of Turkey and 22 Turks. The nationalities of the other passengers were not known yet. 1 The Turkish airline atf first' reported, thererwere six crewmftnbWs-'rfboard. Later it said there were seven, and today it announced therewereeight. The wreckage of the three-jet Boeing 727 and the bodies were spread over a large area, local police said.

"Unfortunately, bodies are torn into pieces and identification is difficult," said the police chief of Isparta, a town near the crashsite. The plane crashed into the mountain at an altitude of 3,700 feet. But Turkey's communications minister said the plane might have exploded in the a ir. Persons in Isparta, seven miles away, said they heard a loud explosion. "First I saw a flaming red cloud, then I heard a deafening explosion," reported one person in the town.

The jetliner was flying from Milan to Antalya, a Mediterranean resort on the southwest coast. It made stops en route in Rome and Istanbul and crashed about 75 miles short of its destination. The burning wreckage caused a fire in the wooded area that kept rescue workers from reaching the wreckage for two hours. The crash was the worst to decur inside Turkey's borders, but a Turkish airliner was also involved in the worst- crash in aviation history. It was a UC10 that crashed near Paris in March 1974, killing a II 346 persons on board.

Yet, I suppose that even Jesus Himself had His critics among the "If He can raise so so's son from the dead, why can't He bring MY son back 1 If He can heal that person and feed all those other people, then why doesn't He do it for When I came to Elwood over eight years ago, I inherited the migrant ministry from some very concerned lay persons in the St. John Lutheran congregation. I did not go out and look for this ministry. It was laid in my lap. I have, hence, attempted to respond to the needs of the migrant farm workers in the most Christlike way that I know how.

As a number of those reading this letter know, I have also strived to perform an active ministry on behalf of the "hurting" of Elwood. Yet, may have, on occasion, "missed the trees for the forest In other words, it is not uncommon for those attempting to help people In need to focus their attention on needs "at a distance" the starving masses in Asia Africa) while at the same time overlooking those in need "right at our elbow" the needy of Elwood). Again, I deem it most unfortunate that the people who hurt as much as I feel the migrants do have to be- rate and put- down the migrants in order to make their own needs known. I would like to simply offer at this time my own personal pastoral ministry to the writer of last Friday's letter, or to any other person in our community who feels that he or she is being slighted by the Christians of Elwood. If I cannot personally helpyou, I will strive to find someone who can.

Please feel free to call me at 552-6125 or 552-6377. If I can be of assistance to you or ethers like you, I would sincerely like to be given the opportunity to try to do so. You will only know if I am serious about this by calling me. Try me! Pastor Roger L.
