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.
