would be approximately eleven teams.
Now ,that fp what we call organiza-

season will be a success, not only fin-
ancially but also entertainingly. A
cumber of practices have already
been held and soon the coaches and
managers will . have their respective
teams lined up.
Did you know ttiat an Ontario Re-
creational Association was formed, re-
eentiy to propne a all phases of re-
creation in Ontario?
Did you know that Jim' MacDonald
has about 20 gals trying out for the
softball team? Jim says they've held
practices already and a team will soon
be chosen and ready for the schedule
which will soon be drawn up. Nice
going, Jim!,
.Fishing seems to be a popular top-
ic these days, especially with the
"Clipper" we'll call him. Of course
he can give close shaves too. How-
ever, when talking to a crony and
others are around, the talk is more
or less in dots and dashes between
thesnip of the scissors or scrape of
the razor. Seems to me like a secret
society. Anyhow, we hope they beat
the other fellows to their secret fish-
ing haunts, and better still, we hope
their faces aren't too red when they
return ... especially if that b -i -g one
gets away that they brag about bring-
ing home. Amway "Clipper," it is
good clean fun, no matter how many
you catch, or lose, and we will still
bait our hook and cast our line:

'Under the, 'heading, 'Broadway'
Angel ileeenlee a Jiausewife," 'ph
American Weekly ,reeeatly told 'of
former Seaforth resident, Elleb
Crawford.,, Seeing a reference to Sea -
forth in the story, •twq Exposito
readers and former Seaforth resident
living in the United 'States,.:James L
Broadfoot, of Ashland, (Oregon,n,
Jack Case,'of Seattle,.forwarded co
les with the thought that the star
would interest other readers. s•
The parents of the ;termer Mis
Crawford lived in the residence now
occupied by Mr. Walker Hart. The
Weekly says:
"The attorney was stumped. A
client of his was being held in an El
Centro, Cal., jail on a false accusa-
tion and no one seemed, willing to aid
the unfortunate man. -
He summoned another client, a wo-
man, to his Los Angeles office, Could
she help the accused man, the lawyer
inquired?
The woman, Rheba Crawford, twice -
married evangelist, social worker and
one-time "Angel of Broadway," said
she would try.
She went to El Centro and there
encountered Laurence Lambertz, weal-
thy, Imperial Valley rancher and agri-
cultural contractor. He came to her
aid. Together, they got the accused,
man tut of jail. That -was in 1944.
Although it could hardly be called
glamourous, that Brat meeting four
years ago between Rheba 'and Lam-
bertz led to a romance that culminat-
ed recently in their marriage in San-
ta Barbara. The marriage was her
third.
Rheba's first husband was J. Harold
• Sommers, a publisher of.. St. Peters-
burg, Fla., whom she married in 1924.
Though still in her early 20's, she
was already known as the beautiful
young Salvation Army captain whose
street corner sermons had taken
Broadway cynics by storm. Her mar-
riage to Sommers ended in 1930, when
she was granted a divorce on grounds
of desertion.
A few days later Rheba married
Raymond Splivalo, wealthy San Fran-
cisco broker and polo player. With
her husband's encouragement, she en-
gaged in welfare work and preached
at' the late Aimee Semple McPher-
son's much publicized Angelus Tem-
ple in Los Angeles.
The marriage to Splivalo ended in.
1937 with his death, following a trip
to Honolulu.
At the time `of her first meeting
with Lambertz, Rheba recalls, "he
was hot, tired, dusty and"mad. He
had been changing a tire in the swel-
tering heat and he flatly told me he
had no use for reformers. He said'
they were terrible people, but I made
him change his mind."
Born at Seaforth, Ontario, Canada,
Rheba was raised in a Salvation Army
atmosphere. Her father, Andrew
Crawford, had been brought up in the
old-fashioned Scotch Presbyterian
Kirk,
"In those days," she says, "the boys;
with whom father associated consid-
ered the Salvation Ari ty a target for
derision and ridicule. They jeered
once too often at the courageous band'
on the corner and father was asham-
ed. He stayed to pray. •
"That night changed the course of
father's life. His objective thereaf-
ter was his expression to God and
love to Man. He felt that Jesus
Christ gave the first recognition in
history to the individual and that He
s Wgeliied AIM,"
e The Salvation Amy service became,
a. the keynote of the Crawford family's

✓ United 'States and Canada,
s After world War I she became a
cub reporter in. Atlanta, Ga.,, then
and went to New York to edit the Sal,
p- \'a'ien Aruiy magazine. while in that
y, job, she lived at the Salvation Army
Training College and lectured to the
cadets at street corner services.
Producer George AL _ hon, 'who
had heard her preach, askedthe Sal-
vation Army to station her nightly at
46th St. "' and Broadway. Whether it
was her winsome appearance or the
message which she spoke, Rheba
soon began to attract large crowns:
Someone dubbed her the "Angel of
Broadway."
For a time she preached over the
radio. Because of her beauty, she
received movie and stage offers,
which she turned down for preach-
ing.
"I believe most sincerely in the
power of God to perform miracles,"
she says, "and make good men out of
bad men. I saw miracles performed."
At the age of 23, she resigned from
the Salvation Army, left Broadway
and married Sommers. "He had
come to New York to interview me,"
she explains. "It was a brief court-
ship
and we were married. Now I
feel he was too near my age. There
was nothing but a friendly associa-
tion.
"Harold divorced me on the basis
of my devotion to my evangelical
work after several years of our mar-
riage. I did not contest it. 1 was
occupying the pulpit of a church in
'St. Petersburg, Fla., and I left it for
I knew the divorce was coming."
Rheba went to California where she
continued her evangelism and entered
social work• In 1928 she met Ray
Splivalo, whose grandfather had es-
tablished one of the earliest shipping
lines from San Francisco 'to the Ori f
ent. I
"He was the most gracious, charm
ing man I ever knew," she says. "His
love for me was one of the real great
gifts God gave me."
As Mrs. Raymond Splivalo, Rheba
was actively engaged in welfare work
and received an appointment as di-
rector of the California State Depart-
ment of Welfare in 1932. Two years
later she resigned that post and be-
came associate pastor of Aimee Mc-
Pherson's Angelus Temple.
The two evangelists, however, did
not get along together. After numer-
ous flare-ups, Rheba was ousted. She
then countered' with a $1,000,000 slan-
der suit; charging that ' Aimee had
called her, among other things, a
"Jezebel." The suit never went to
trial.
Ill fortune then began to pursue
her, and on July 30, 1941, she appear-
ed at the Los Angeles County Bureau
of Association and declared herself a
pauper. The bureau agreed to grant
her $19 a month. If this was unsat-
isfactory, she could enter Rancho Los
Amigos, the country "poor farm."
Rheba accepted neither alternative,
later explaining that she had found
"unexpected mean's of support." For
the next few years she spent most of
her time in various hospitals, under-
going a series of 'operations. Then in
1944 she says, "I got back on my feet,
little Like my former self of those
terrible years of tragedy and illness."
She did war work, preached in San
Diego for a time and then returned
to Los Angeles. Follbwin'g her mar-
miage to Lambertz, the former "An-
gel of Broadway" said she will "just'
be his wife"
