Zurich Citizens News, 1971-12-02, Page 5THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1971 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS , PAGE 5• Church observe Two special services on Sunday, November 28, were devoted to celebrating the 110th anniversary of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Zurich. The guest speaker at the morning service was the Rev. Albert Datars, of Preston who stressed bigness of mind and heart which is necessary for carrying out the command of Christ to bring the Gospel globally into all the world. He said that the dimensions have to be horizontally wide and long to make a reach out into the world and vertically high enough to reach God in Heaven and deep down to rock level to be founded firmly on Christ, the "Rock of Ages." "Come Unto Him" by G. Handel, was sung by soprano soloist. Mrs. Albert Deichert. Linda Klopp read the history of the congregation going back to the days of its founding as a church to accommodate both Lutheran and Reformed denom- inations. Glen Thiel, chairman of the Church Council, expressed a welcome to the congregation and the visitors and thanked anniversary those taking part. The Script- ure lessons were read by Cath- erine Weido, Doris Webb, Albert Schilbe, and the local pastor. At the evening service select- ions of sacred music were sung by the Huronia Male Chorus directed by Mrs. Ron McCaffrey and accompanied by Mrs. F. Wildfong. Mrs. McCaffrey sang the soprano solo parts as the Male Chorus sang "Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide." Greetings were read by Louis Willert, congregational secret- ary, from the Rev. Otto Winter, a former pastor in the Zurich church who now serves in the Lutheran Seamen's Mission in New York; from the Rev, E.W. Heimrich, of Ayton, who serv- ed as pastor from 1942 to 1955, and from the Rev. F.L. Howald of the St. Lawrence Parish, Morrisburg, who attended St. Peter's Church in his boyhood. Other greetings were expres- sed personally by the Rev. Paul Fischer of Waterloo who served in Zurich from 1957 to 1964; the Rev. Albert Datars who spent his childhood and youth in this parisi; and from Rev. Lloyd Kalbfleisch of Zurich, who also is a "son" of the cong- regation. Fraternal greetings were expressed by the Rev. John Huether of Emmanuel United Church in Zurich and the Rev. Cyril Gingerich of the Blake and Zurich Mennonite congreg- ations. Numbers sung by the Iluronia Male Chorus included "Jesus Set the World to Singing, " "The Lord's Prayer, " "Go Down Moses - Joshua Fought the Battle, " "Surely Goodness and Mercy, " and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." A feature of interest was a display of photos taken through the years of persons and events marking other annivers- aries, confirmation groups, worship services, choirs, teach- ers, meetings and former pastors. The committee in charge of plans for the day consisted of Harvey Ilohner, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Dinnin, Mrs. Leona Rader and Mrs. ilubert Schilbe. A fellowship hour with coffee and refreshments was enjoyed following the evening service. afety precautions A stalled vehicle on a high- way is not only inconvenient, it can be dangerous. Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, says certain precautions and aids can help reduce the dangers. Mr. Wright advises motorists to be aware of safety devices and those items in the car whict can be used as such in an emer- gency. Flares are one common way to mark other drivers. However, they should never be used as a hand signal to slow down or direct traffic. They last approx- imately 20 minutes to warn other drivers. The burning flare emits acid that will burn clothing and could burn flesh. They are designed solely to be put into the ground as a stat- ionary warning. For traffic control, a fluor- escent orange 10 -inch plastic cone that fits over a flashlight head can be used. Also avail- able is a hollow triangle, sim- ilar to the slow moving vehicle sign, without the fluorescent orange center, that can be placed up -traffic from the vehicle. It is also a good idea to have other safety items in the car. ACSA-approved one- pound dry chemical fire ext- inguisher is available from safety supply companies. This is a one-time nonrechargeable unit that costs about $5. A first aid kit could prove to be a lifesaver. Many car features can be used to advantage. Don't for- get to use the four-way flashers or the dome light. As the dome light is rarely used when the car is in motion, it is an indication of a stationary vehicle. The insides of hub caps can be painted fluorescent orange and used in an emergency. The spare tire can be used as a life raft in a water emerg- ency. Many items have a secondary use as safety precautions. Know their safety features, both intended and potential, and be ready for an emergency - safely.
