will be opened by fall of this

carvings turned out by
Dashwood resident now retired
Clayton Pfile 'plays around
with wood' and amazing things
emerge. He has made picnic
tables of all sizes, lawn chairs
of all sizes, carvings of loons
and owls, built a fireplace from
an old organ., made knicknacks
of all sizes, shapes and uses,
made trellises and picket fences
and planters, tables of every
description, toy barns, picture -
frames - you narne it and if he
hasn't already made it, he
probably can.
Mr. .Pfile was in the shoe
business in Dashwood for 52
years before he suffered a heart
attack in 1971. It was 1922 when
he bought the shoe business,
but the depression was rough
so his wife tended the store and
he made money doing odd jobs.
"I once put on 52 rolls of wall-
paper in one day," and after you
listen to him for awhile you can
believe it. It seems he has always
had something on the go.
Mr. Hite received 250 an hour
to hang paper in those years and
he laughs now thinking of the
money he could collect for hang-
ing paper now. He still mended
shoes in the store as well as
tackling almost anything anyone
asked him to fix.
"People used to bring me the
darndest things and say go
ahead, you can fix it," laughs
Mr. Pfile and adds "and I always
did too."
Mr. Pfile sold his shoe business
in 1972, the heart attack having
made the work too much for him.
However, that hasn't kept him
from being active, net by any
means.
Mr. Pfile has made over 100
toy size barns alone, and the rest
of his varied successes with wood
have to be seen to be believed. He
has made almost everything you
can think of. He has done some
custom work in the past, but
doesn't do too much anymore.
"I like people to see what I've
done, but I can't keep up with
the demand anymore. I can't
work like I used to, a half day
is enough."
Mr. Pfile does not charge
highly for what he sells, he's
not doing it for the money.
Besides he doesn't have to buy
much of the lumber he uses.
"It's amazing the good wood
that people send to the clump and
leave to be burnt. I just go in
and pick it up."
Last year he started carving:

of the shoe business. When
he sold his business he took.

PLAYS AROUND WiTH WOOD --According to Clayton Pfile, Dashwood, he just plays around with wood
and ends up making things. Shown above he is surrounded by some of his carvings, a child's barn and

you're out of luck.

he grins. He even rides his bicy-
cyle a mile and a quarter every
day and loves it. His sheds are
full of wood pieces and he has
plans for every piece. He isn't
looking for a lot of work, in fact
he really doesn't want to be
bothered doing a lot of items for
sale.

was a reflection on the present
spiritual state of man.
"Greed, fear and insecurity
produce war and injustice."
said Dr. Joynt. "It is a sign of
spiritual decay and it is not
just the statesmen of the world
who are to blame. Any gathering
today has enough distrust and
hate to start three wars."
Dr. Joynt described our pre-
sent society as without ultimate
reference; a secular society ruled
by secular rules. It is a world
in which men rely not on God, but
on themselves.
He said that although he had
painted a bleak picture of the
possibility for world peace. he
cautioned the congregation not
to despair.
"The Christian faith is capable of
renewal." said Dr. Joynt.
"Christ is a world changing
force."
He concluded by stating that
the people of the world must look
to Christ,. "Not just for a peaceful
world, but for one which ack-
nowledges Jesus Christ."
Following the service, Dr.
Joynt joined Rev. Donald Beck at
an informal reception period
where members of the congre-
gation asked questions on the
address and discussed mane
points with Dr. Joynt.
