Evangelical Women Hear Topic On Conditions In The Middle East The W.S.W.S. and Ladies Aid of Emmanuel Evangelical United Brethren Church held its monthly :meeting on Thursday, January 8. After the singing of two hymns, the pastor, Rev. A. M. Amacher, Beatrice Hess and Jack Yungblut led in prayer. Mrs. Harrison Sch- ock read the Scripture lesson. Mrs. played a piano duet, "Sunflower Dance,,. Mrs. Harrison Schock gave the reading, "The Gospel According to You." Mrs. Herbert Neeb and Mrs. Clare Geiger presented the topic on the Middle East. There are a variety of religions and national- ities. There are some great cities. The farms are rich, and there are high mountains. A farm in Eng- land looks like a farm in Leban- on. The TV and radio tell about the Middle East. A flare-up in some far-off country may have a bearing on our lives. The count- ries considered in this study were Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Turkey. In Egypt, farming is very im- portant, 75.8 percent of the peop- le depend upon agriculture. They have to struggle to eke out a living. The land is tired and worn, as it has been used for centuries. A large amount of the land is desert. The Nile Valley is a farm- ing area. There are 23 million in- habitants. Three percent of the nation live in the Nile Valley. The landlord owns 35 villages at times. He had absolute control of the villages and villagers. The farmer has to borrow money from a money -lender, and thus is al- ways very poor. In the Ghaza Strip are refugee towns, 900,000 Arabs live there. Israel is a home for thousands of refugees. Most of Saudi Arabia is barren desert. The discovery of oil has meant a great deal to them. In Iran and Iraq, the villages are alike. Drabness is the first impression. The homes are made of sun-dried mud brick. There are no sidewalks, no neon signs, and no street lights. All the hous- es look alike. There is very lit- tle furniture. When darkness falls, the villager's day is done. Drink- ing water is very scarce. There is little social life or entertain- ment. Most villages have a Main Square. Most of the people are poor and illiterate. There is ignor- ance of sanitation. Adequate med- ical care is unknown. The radio brings the news from the outside world. There is a close family spirit. In Turkey, boys and girls go to school together now. That is an outst ending change. In Israel, Jerusalem is typical of the big cities of the Middle East. The city is the nation. Pow- erful landlords live there. News- papers are published and read. Visiting dignitaries come here. The houses are square buildings. Entire American communities are seen. Women in veils peer at a girl on a motorcycle. Merchants carry their wares on their heads, and call out at the top of their voice. The president, Mrs. Delbert Geiger, took charge of the busi- ness and led in prayer. The secretary, Mrs. Harold Rader, read the minutes of the last meet- ing and called the roll. Miss 01- ive O'Brien, treasurer of the Lad- ies' Aid gave her report, as well as Mrs. Leonard Erb, for the WSWS. Mrs. J. W. Merner re- ported on the Temperance Meet- ing held at Dashwood. The Boy's and Girl's Fellowship are collect- ing used stamps and Christmas cards and quarterlies, stated Mrs. J. McClinchey. Mrs. Allan Gascho gave the report of the Member- ship Committee. Mrs. K. M. Brea - key said that there were 27 sick visits made, and 95 get well cards, 60 treats, and two bouqu- ets were sent. Thank you notes were received from Mrs. Roy Clarke, Miss Pearn Wuertz, Mrs. Wellington Johnston, Mrs. Nancy Koehler and the family of the late Mrs, Bertha Horner, and Mrs. Myrtle Banko. Miss Ethel Gab- el reported that $90 had been made from the sale of Christmas cards. The two ladies to represent the church for the World Day of Prayer are Mrs. Newell Geiger and Mrs. Laird Jacobi. Mrs. Beatrice Hess, accompan- ied by Mrs, Milton Oesch, sang "His Love for Me". Mrs. A. M. Amacher acted as pianist for the meeting. Mrs. Clarence Schade was the chairlady, and the mem- bers of her committee were Mrs. Clare Geiger, Mrs. Harrison Sch- ock, Mrs. Roy Clarke, Mrs. Beat- rice Hess and Mrs. Herbert Neeb. Classified Ads Buy Results In Citizens =N ews "This is the time of the year to run a classified ad in the Zurich Citizens News", says Alvin Gingerich, R.R. 3, Zurich. Last week Mr. Ginge- rich ran a classified ad in this paper for a number of weanling pigs he had for sale. The paper comes out in the mail on Wednesday morning, and on Wednesday afternoon after the Gingerich's had re- turned home from a visit there was someone at their place waiting to buy the pigs. Time after time we hear re- ports of the success persons have had with classified ads in this paper. This is the time of the year when almost everyone must have someth- ing they want to sell, or else wants to buy something. The cost is low, and results are sure when you run a "want - ad" in the Citizens News. If you can't arrange to drop into the office just give us a call and we will be happy to look after your ad for you. 0 Appointments in Hay Township Rates Of Pay Set At the inaugural meeting of the Hay Township Council on Monday various appointments were made for the coming year.
