WE'RE IN CONTROL

The energy shortage presents a serious challenge to us as individuals and as a nation. Though we can do little about its causes, we eon conserve our limited supplies. By changing the ways we think about energy — our driving habits, our heating and cooling habits, the ways we use energy around the home — we can help cut back on waste . Working together, we can meet the challenge!

An Open Letter to the Lowell Community:

While the attendance at the Boxcar Willie show was somewhat less than desir-able. the show was none-theless a success.

For the first time in a number of years, every or-g a n i z a t i o n . i n d u s t r y , and several commercial firms in the community banded to-gether to sponsor an activity on behalf of Showboat, and recognized that Showboat must be a total community

effort . To those who gave direct

cash support and to the numerous individuals who worked to make this show a success, a hearty thanks. To those who braved the chilly night air. thank you also.

Several organizations are p l a n n i n g add i t iona l f u n d raisers to help Showboat out of d e b t . P l ea se s u p p o r t them.

Again, thanks to all who participated in some way and a reminder to all those who

M L e t t v r a may be interested in working on ShoWboat to please send a card to Showboat. P.O. Box 56. Lowell Ml 49331.

I am confident that we now have the means to make Showboa t a c o m m u n i t y effort .

. . .Take heed, and beware of covetousness . . .(Luke 12:15).

A fourth grade teacher asked her pupils to name the s e a s o n s . O n e r e p l i e d : "Spr ing , summer, fall, win-ter. and d e e r . " To this list we might add another — insect. With the hot months come flies, ants, gnats, and many other pests. The insect spray can is frequently in use as wc seek to get rid of them.

Christians, we are both-ered with other " p e s t s " which threaten our spiritual w e l l - b e i n g . F i r s t , evil t h o u g h t s seek to e n t e r wherever they can. We must b e w a r e lest l i t t le sec re t thoughts of envy, jealousy, and resentment take over our t h i n k i n g . C h r i s t i a n s , wc must also beware of the " p e s t " of discontent and covetousness. We can look at the possessions of others and b e c o m e d i s s a t i s f i e d with what we have, i t ' s easy to think life has treated the

next-door neighbor better than us. And wc can bccome begrudging and covetous of the good fortune of the other fellow. These " p e s t s " have no place in our hearts . They can be d e s t r o y e d wi th prayer, the substitution of loving thoughts, the applica-tion of faith, and deliberate acts of kindness. The sooner these " p e s t s " are killed, the bet ter .

Prayer: Dear God. help me to kill the " p e s t s " of envy, jealousy, resentment , dis-content, and covetousness, which are ever seeking to e n t e r into my s p i r i t u a l domain. Give me. instead, a loving and thankful heart . Amen.

Give me a calm, a thankful heart.

trouble and really be doing us a service.

But then, who decides what is junk? Is the mail that the church sends third class junk mail? Is the Rotary Paddle Wheel junk mail? , . And then every once in a • while a piece of mail comes through that you really want to follow through on, for it says something that strikes your interest.

So who decides what is junk mail? Did you ever notice that this is true of life? What one person considers junk, another person consi-ders valuable! That ' s the way of garage sales. You just ^ get together a lot of junk that you no longer want and advertise the sale in yur garage. Then people come and buy your junk.

What is junk to me is not junk to you. There would probably be a few things that we could agree upon, but basically we would disagree. This is true of all of life % because it brings up the matter of judgment . We often judge whether a thing or an action is good for us or not. and no one can decide that except oneself. Then we judge whether an action is good for a group of persons or not. and we make value judgments on the basis of the information that wc have.

And that ' s fine. But when we start making judgments * for someone else, we arc misusing our ability to make judgments . Wc can think. "If I were he. 1 would not do that th ing . " but our thinking it doesn' t make it wrong for that other person. With the limited, or greater know-ledge that the other person has. it might have been the g

right decision for him. Therefore, wc give another

person space to make his or her own decisions. They have the information that is impor-tant for them and. inciden-tally. they have to live with the results of their decisions. Thus it is that all of us seek the direction of God in mak-ing decisions First, that the decision that we make is His will and second, that it w o u l d | be best for us.

MI. a hand-made hearth broom.

Rain and gusty breezes kept the tethered balloon ride by Sky American Inc. on the ground Saturday until late in the day. and the near-gale force winds of Sun-day precluded take-off all together. Those who were fortunate enough to make it up on Saturday wore smiles and only s l ight ly shaky knees. Entertainers perse-vered under a make-shift

covering on Saturday and braved the Sunday winds until power lines to the park went down in the late after-noon. Crow ds were treated lo country-western, folk songs, bluegrass and pop sounds from musicians who donated their special skills.

By any measure, the 13th annual Fallasburg Fall Festi-val was a r e s o u n d i n g success.

Time for f lannels

Cedar Springs will be dres-sed in red Saturday. Oct. 3 in observance of the 37th an-nual Red Flannel Festival.

The festival offers visitors and residents a wide variety of activities, such as the band festival, flea market, arts and crafts fair, old-fashioned en-tertainment and contests, and parade.

By Roger Brown Now ihat fall is here, people will be putting up their

golf clubs, bicycles, tennis raquets. etc. and turning to indoor activities. Next to TV. card games are probably the most popular of all indoor sports. Terese and I have some very good friends with whom we play a lot of

cards. I can call them " g o o d " friends with confidence oecause we keep getting back together after knock-down. drag-out sessions of "Sailboat Rummy" that have us all ready to kill one another.

Sailboat Rummy can be played with three or more people, two full decks are used to include the jokers, and the jokes and deuces are w ild. The game consists of five hands. Six cards are dealt in the first hand, seven in the next and so on. To go dow n on the board in the first hand you must have two books of three (three of a kind). In the second hand you need a book of three and a run of four (same suit). In the third hand two books of four, in the founh. a book of four and a run of five and in the fifth two runs of five. A plaver cannot play on other books and runs on the board until the turn after that plaver has gone down on the board.

Play consists of picking the preceding player 's discard and discarding another card, or placing the top card from the deck on the preceding player's discard and sailing it to the next player (hence the name Sailboat Rummy), then drawing the top card from the deck and discarding.

The object is to have ihe least amount of points at Ihe end of five hands. Scoring is fifty points for jokers slill in vour hand, twenty for deuces, ten for face cards and tens, all others are five. We plav using the rule that in order to go out. a player must hav e a non-playable card to discard.

From my description you probably cannot begin to comprehend how frustrating, infuriating, and down-righi dirty this game can be. but af ter you've played il once and the person next to you has sailed you an unwanted card about eight limes in a row. or has sailed you a card that you can't discard because the next player needs il. you'll know what 1 mean. We've ieamed from playing Sailboat Rummy over the years that yo-j should never, ever sit next to your spouse if you value your marriage, and you should put away any knives or heavy objects lhat might make a handy-weapon for v»meone.

It you should decide to m this game, be forewarned, it can break up friendships and disrupt nramages. So don't come crying to me if your wife packs up and leaves in the middle of a game. After all i didn't invent it. I'm jusi a hopeless addict, too.
