ULREYS SAW RESCUE
OF KATHY FIS(US ON
TELEVISION SCREEN
Accident Happended Near
TrillinghampHome

A card from Dr. J. C. Ulrey tells
us that they watched the rescue
of Kathy Fiscus, from   Saturday
until she was recovered, on the
television set at the home of the
Dr.'s son, Ralph Ulrey. "We saw
the work being done better than
if we were at the scene. It hap-
pened right near the Tril'lingham
home."
A  veteran engineer is quoted
as saying   that the well that
swallowed up the little girl had
been "lost" for 30 years. He said
drillers charts in the old days
were crude and often listed lo-
cations as "100 yards northeast
of a certain tree" or by similar
clumsy  measurement. Built    45
years ago for irrigations use, the
engineer said he had looked for it
in 1919 but couldn't. find it. He
I said the land has been plowed
many times since its abandonment
some years previous to 1919. He
added that the wells are always
capped when abandoned but that
plows sometimes snap off the
cap.

thin  stirr d th   -+,,"      a

CHURCH OF CHRIST
RECEIVES OIL PAINTING
Ag GIFT FROM     ARTIST
A Jordan River Scene
Mrs. A. E. Perry of Denver,
Colorado has presented to the lo-
cal congregation of the Church of
Christ an oil painting for their
new  building on North Main St.
The painting is done on canvas,
seven by nine feet, and has been
placed on the wall immediately
back of the baptistry in full view
of those in the auditorium.
The scene is an actual view of
the  Jordan  River, near where
Christ was baptized, with the hills
of Palestine in the distance.
All temporal things seen in the
artist's work are representative of
things spiritual; for instance, the
faint form of a dove in the shape
of a large white cloud represents
the Spirit of God; the sheep graz-
ing on the banks  represent the
sheep of God's pasture, etc.
Mrs. Perry is not a professional
artist,  painting  only  for  the
Church of Christ, of which she is
a beloved member. This is her
119th painting in 14 years arjd at
present she has a back-log of 12
scenes to paint.
She has contributed paintings
to the Church in Canada; Balboa,
Canal Zone; and the Philippines.
Friends of the Church are in-
vited to view this painting when-
ever they wish. Just step in - the
doors are always open.
Rock Springs Ranch
Drive Going Well
Herman Witt, local chairman of
the Rock Springs Ranch project
reports that the drive for funds is
progressing very nicely.   North
Seward township gave 99 percent
cooperation. Only one person re-
fused him when he called yester-
day.
Mr. Witt says that folks are
really interested and believe the
project to be a good thing.  He
says "I believe it is one of the
best, that is why I devote so much
time to it".
'Hudson has long ago gone over
the top of their quota and Macks-
ville is near their goal.
Mrs. Ida Robertson has been
quite ill for the past two weeks
and confined to bed. She is some
better at this time.
