Clinton News-Record, 1971-02-04, Page 9Even when it stopped snowing as it did for some time on
Thursday night, the high winds were enough to make driving and
even walking dangerous, This picture shows the kind of drifting
that consistently kept blocking Highway 4 at the north end of
town.
Everything got a fine coating of snow during the storm like
these tall pines.

SHIRLEY J. KEL,.LER
1971 Cancer Campaign
Conference held
Some readers of this _whine
ere very faithful. Others are even
More faithful than that because
they are the readers who net
only enjoy (or say they do) the
column each week, they often
send along suggestions for future
columns. This kind of reader is
most appreciated, believe me,
The other day I was in touch
with one reader who wanted to
tell me about an episode she had
had with a chain letter, She told
me she hadn't received one of
these cursed things for years and
Years, and she had even begun to
faintly hope that chain letters
were a thing of the past.
No so. She told me she was
the recipient of a rather brutal
kind of chain letter. It promised
good fortune if its contents was
copied 20 times and sent on to
20 other persons, and it forcast
dire results if the chain was
broken.
Well, this reader doesn't
believe in chain letters...at least,
she doesn't like to think she
believes in chain letters, She's a
bit superstitious, mind you, but
she made up her mind there was
no chance that she would copy
the letter 20 times and send it
on to compound the misery of
others.
A few days after the chain
letter was ignored, things began
to happen. Unpleasant things
they were. My reader developed
a sore back. She also had a
medical check and discovered
she would have to spend some
time in hospital. That would'
mean delaying a trip she had
planned to Florida. And to top
it all off, she was nearly killed
(or badly injured) when she was
almost hit by a car!
When she let me know about.
her plight, she wasn't just sure
whether she was dub for some
bad luck .and was simply jinxed
for a few days...or whether that
chain letter, that idiotic note
which prophesied disaster if she
ignored it...was to blame for her
problems.
"I don't care if I die," she
said, indicating just a little bit
that she wondered if there was
any truth to the promise of the
chain letter, "I will not be a
partner to passing chain letters."
Well done, friend. I do not
approve of chain letters and
what's more, there is absolutely
no doubt in my mind that your
present problems would exist for
y4eu today whether you had
received that letter or not.
I've had similar chain
letters—the kind which fortell
hideous happ6nings if you don't
send them on in triplicate. And
I've had problems, too...but not
because of the silly sheet of
paper with a few ink scrawls on
it. Why, I have problems the
year-round, every year...and I
just don't get that many chain
letters.
And while we're on the
subject of such things, I want to
report to you that I sometimes
go out of my way to invite
trouble.
Consider this one, for
instance. One of the businesses
on main street in my town was
having a facelifting, The whole
front of the building was being
replaced and the workmen had
ladders leaning against the
building forming forbidden
arches over the sidewalks below.
I surveyed the situation
closely. I watched people for a
few minutes, Some would walk
up the sidewalk apprehensively
and move out around the
ladders. Others would cross the
street without hesitation until
well past the hoisted ladders
before crossing back over. And
still others would walk merrily
under the ladders, never even
noticing they were there.
I did what no one else did. I
knew the ladders were there, I
knew the theory that anyone
who walked under them would
be plagued with bad luck...and I
deliberately walked under them
and thereby defied Lady Leek
to be angry with me,
Nothing happened. Nothing
any more serious, that is, than
the usual kind of the problems
encountered every day...like the
cake burning and the newspaper
getting blown away and one of
the kids coming down with the
sniffles.
So I'm convinced, dear
readers, there is nothing to this
business of superstition. As for
chain letters, I'd bannish them
from the face of the earth if I
had my way...and their writers
with them, sadistic lot that they
are.

Lunch was served by Mamie
Carter and her group.
Much of the Church's trouble
in this day is caused by sIow-Ieak
Christians.
Back in the days when
automobile tires had inner tubes,
it often happened that a tube
would develop a slow Idak. Any
use of the car required that the
driver stop frequently and pump
up the slOW,leak again and again.
Sometimes the leak was caused
by a tiny hole, sometimes by a
leaky valve, and sometimes just
by rotten Material,
The whole mission of the
church can be jeopardized by
Such slow-leak members.
Great programs are launched,
and then have to be cancelled or
postponed while the pastor or
lay leadership goes to soothe
Aunt Biddy whose feelings got
hurt, or to calm old Gotrocks
because he didn't get his name
printed first, or Mr. Talkalot
keeps missing the planning
sessions and training courses.
Sometimes it is hurt feelings
(childishness); sometimes it le
"something I'd rather do
elsewhere" (disloyalty);
sometimes it is indifference
(shallowness).
A slew-leak can get you
killed.
An automobile which has to
stop to be pumped up, or which
weaves because of a faulty tire,
in today's fast traffic'can cause a
lot of fatal crashes. Youth WIICI
see half-hearted . commitment to
the Church can lose interest in
both the church and what ft
represents: integrity,
compassion, respect for parents,
government, or life. People of all
ages who could have been
strengthened and helped by a
dieciplihe of commitment are
lost to sin and death.
A tube which couldn't be
repaired had to be discarded.

The Love of God should act
like the "Stop-leak" we poured
in the tube to seal the leak and
prevent other failures. The rapid
pace of change, historical
development and cultural
collapse will no longer tolerate
piddling-along churchlaeity.
Rather the Church must raise
the question which forces men
to choose their God.
The Church does not teach
"The World Owes Me a
Religion",
It must teach its membership
how to make decisions, where to
put loyalty, and what to die out
their lives for. It must raise
questions, not to be
obstreperous, but to enable the
people to develop character able
to face life and distinguish
between opportunity and
temptation, Some people may
leave a Church which is intense,
intentional and involved, but
God will leave one which isn't,
