A Father’s Day Fellow-
ship was sponsored by
Daughters of St. Ann’s on
Sunday, June 20.
The annual family food
spread was held at St. Ann’s
Church. Each family was
requested to bring enough
food for their family.
Rev. Leon Flusche gave
the blessing before the meal.
Leroy Hampton, chairman
of games and activities for
the Men’s Club, presented a
check in the amount of $500
to the church for its building
fund.
Proceeds from the weekly
game night, held every Sun-
day at 7 p.m., go into the
fund. The men’s group will
strive to accumulate that
amount each quarter until
the phase III goal is achiev-
ed.
The phase plan has been in
effect since 1971, when the
parish council organized to
build a Catholic Church in
Burleson.
It will take about five
more years to complete
phase III.
Presently the facilities in-
clude a parish hall and
classrooms, which completes
phase II.

“But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto
you” (Matthew 6:33). This is
.a day of distorted values. It
is a day in which people lay
great stress on perishable
things-the outward man and
his comforts-and hardly give
a thought to the main
interest-the soul of man. It
is a day in which the spiritual
life of both man and nation is
starved.
The Lord Jesus Christ
condemned spending a life-
time in the pursuit of wealth
'and earthly possessions at
the sacrifice of more import-
ant things. He asked, “For
what shall it profit a man, if
he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own
soul?” (Mark 8:36). The
world is full of men who
boast of “selling property at
a large profit” or “investing
money in a good thing,” yet
set a poor price on their own
souls. For the small pittance
of short-lived pleasure and
the approval of man, they
sell the immortal part of
themselves. There are wo-
men who spend more time
_and money on clothes and
beauty treatments than on
the study of God's Word and
the thought of God’s love
which has power to increase
the beauty of the soul.
Crowding their closets with
the latest styles, they ne-
glect to lay hold on the robe
of righteousness which is
theirs by simple faith in the
Son of God.
It is sad to see men major
on the body, which will
return to dust, and minor on
the soul-that part of them
which will live forever. Pos-
sessions can be destroyed in
a moment, and death can
suddenly claim the owner of
the possessions. But the
child of God is assured that
“if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved,
we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens”
(II Corinthians 5:1). Instead
of laying up “treasures upon
earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and
steal,” we should lay up for
ourselves “treasures in
heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break
through nor steal” (Matthew
6:19, 20).
Taylor, also of the church.
Irma Hernandez of Cuba
will speak on Monday night
and Tuesday will be youth
night. Following the services
on Wednesday night, a fel-
lowship featuring “Pie in the
Eye” will be held. The event
will culminate a Sunday
School attendance campaign
between the youth and
adults, at which time either
Curtis, leader of adults, or
Taylor, leader of youth, will
get the pie in the eye.
Rev. Jerrell Elston is
pastor of the church.

saying, Be it far from thee, Lord, this shall not be unto
thee.
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind

of men.

Getting A Lift Out Of Life

For company, wipe your tele-

Especially aware of how
much private business is
doing for the handicapped is
a non-profit organization
called Contemporary Guid-
ance Services, Inc., of New
York City. It trains physically
disadvantaged young adults in
skills that can lead to good
jobs. It also keeps watch on
who is extending a helping
hand. That’s why it awarded
a scroll to Union Carbide Cor-
poration.
The award commended
the company’s sympathetic
reception, cooperation, and
willingness to help prove that
handicapped young adults are
not only employable, but also
make good employees.
By instituting employment

machinery was too confin-
ing for him.
He also worked in the
kitchen of a Berkshire coun-
try club after moving from
the Hartford, Connecticut
area.
“There was a big, wood-
burning stove for cooking,”
Hubbard recalled. “I took
care of that and ground
the coffee before I went
to bed every night.”
Although he never had a
music lesson in his life,
Hubbard plays the piano
and sings, and had his own
band in the 40s. The band
toured the Berkshires for
many years, playing at wed-
dings and other affairs. To-
day, long after his profes-
sional career is over, Hub-
bard still bursts into song
occasionally, much to the
delight of his passengers.
Unlike the stereotypical
elevator operator, who does
his or her job in grim-faced
silence, Johnny Hubbard
carries on conversations
with his passengers. Perhaps
the fact that Pittsfield is a
small town, or the building
he works in has only four,
floors are the reasons for
his novel approach to op-
erating an elevator. More
likely, though, this seldom-
found camaraderie which
exists on Hubbard’s eleva-
by Gerry Johnson
If there’s one man in
America who knows about
Ithe ups and downs of life,
'it’s 85-year-old Johnny
Hubbard of Pittsfield, Mas-
sachusetts, a town of 56,-
000 in the Berkshire Moun-
tains, who has been an ele-
more
vator operator for
than 60 years.
In 1908 he took a job
which lasted for 51 years,
until his retirement in 1959
at the age of 65. After he
retired, Hubbard took life
easy for a spell but found
that he likes people too
much and missed being
around them.
This fondness of people
prompted him to take a
“temporary” job 12 years
ago with another company.
He’s been riding up and
down ever since, with no
plans for. quitting in the
foreseeable future.
“Meeting the public is
important to me,” he told
a writer from The National
Council on the Aging. “My
work is the reason I’m in
such good health — I don’t
have time to get sick.”
Before he became an ele-
vator operator, Hubbard
tried a number of different
jobs. He worked in the
press room of the local
newspaper, but working in
I the basement with noisy
cmzENSsm?
tor is due to his need to be
with people and his out-go-
ing nature.

as he calls his passengers.
“If somebody gets on in
the morning with a long
face,” Hubbard said,
“they’re usually smiling by
the time they get to their
floor. They get off and thank
me for the ride, tell me
they’re glad they rode with
me.
Hubbard was fortunate
during the 1965 blackout
that paralyzed the East
Coast. He was on the first
floor and walked up and
down four flights of stairs
guiding people down to
street level. Being 75 years
of age at the time didn’t
slow him down a bit.
Will Johnny Hubbard
ever retire again? It’s
doubtful, and his passengers
— his friends — say they
wouldn’t know how to start
the day without getting a
lift from Johnny. This is one
elevator operator who will
take you up a lot faster
than he’ll let you down.
