Mission to Mexico
A team of 14 volunteers !eft from the Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle Friday morning for Mexico, where they will be aiding
the residents of a poverty-stricken area until they return Monday.
Forty hours on a bus, a mission to Mexico
14 volunteers from the Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle are in Mexico, helping the poor
EXETER - Forty hours on a school bus might not sound like fun to
everybody, but for 14 volunteers from the Exeter Pentecostal Tab-
ernacle, it was an adventure.
The group left Friday morning in a van for Lorain, Ohio where
they joined up with 24 others for the school bus trek to Nuevo La-
redo, Mexico, just across the Texas border.
During their 10 -day stay, the group will be helping the needy of the
community. Two buses have been specially equipped to provide
dental care, hair care, and showers for the thousands of men, women
and children who have never had such care before.
"If they have to pay for it themselves, they never see a dentist in
their lifetime," said Pastor Vernon Dean.
Not qualified as dentists, the Exeter group will be distributing used
clothing brought from the Noah's Ark store, cutting hair, and helping in
many ways.
Pastor Dean said the Mexican government has outlawed such vol-
unteer groups from going into the garbage dumps, but there are still peo-
ple living there, searching for edible food when the garbage trucks ar-
rive.
"There's still a lot of depressed areas," said Pastor Dean.
Each volunteer on the trip had to raise his own $650 fare. They will
be returning on Monday, October 24.

Alien time capsule
URI F. ORZWEL
The Valuto Martarium Super Nova saga of just two
weeks ago has been on the tongues of the best space
scientists in the world. The large telescope located in
G.R.E.E.N.-land, has been able to zero in on some of
the space fragments, that are speeding towards us. At
a distance now, of just twenty light-years away, the
giant space eye can make a better description of these
objects.
Insiders Reports, have lead way to the speculation
of, at least one object being some sort of projectile!
Could this be an Alien time capsule from a dying so-
lar system, telling of a new, and unique way of life?
Astronomers and space scientists, all have their own
ideas on this strange cosmic calamity. The Canadian
expert, D. Nickel, was not available for comment at
the time of this report. The president of the Inter-
national Planetary Communication Federation, has
many theories of his own as to what this object might
be. Of those theories, a time capsule is said to be the
President's Choice.
I.P.C.F. has calculated the trajectory of the projectile
to be somewhere on the North American continent,
possibly being as close as Canada. All things con-
tinuing at their present course and speed, we will
have a good chance to be witness to one of the won-
ders of space. More exact figures become available
daily, as the object gets closer. As one astronomer
stated, this is "Too Good to be True!"
