Schaeffer Speaks Sunday At Lutheran Church ANDREWS? The Rev. W. C Schaeifer, D. D . of Allentown, Pa., President of the Board of Ameri can and West Indies Missions of tthe United Lutheran Church, will deliver the mc age at the 11 o' clock service at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Andrews, on August 14. Dr and Mrs. Schaetf fer are well-known in this area, having visited friends here each summer for many years. They will arrive on Friday of this week and remain through the week-end before returning to their summer home at Hendersonville. Div Sehaeffer is remembered and loved by the members of St. An drew's Lutheran Church for the part that he played in organizing I the original Sunday School before the first World War. At that time he was serving as pastor of the Church of the Redeemer Atlanta, but he found time to travel to Andrews and organize a small group of children and adults who held services in the basement of the Library building, j He also at intervals held services j for the workmen at the Tannery while tthey were resting at the noon hour. His work in Atlanta was given up to enter the service , during the first World War, but ! his faithful efforts in Andrews continued to bear fruit. Much of the progress of the church today can be traced to those early years. Following the armistice of the i first World War. Dr. Sehaeffer settled in Allentown, Pa., to be- ; come the pastor of a small congre- j gation. With his careful guidance. St John's Lutheran Church, Allen- 1 town, has grown into one of the j largest congregations of the en tire Lutheran Church. During the , past decade the congregation has built a magnificent church, many parts being patterijkl after the cathedrals in Europe which Dr Scaeffer studied while traveling there. With his very strenuous I program in Allentown. Dr. Sehaef fer has also served on many national committees of the United Lutheran Church. The public is invited to the ser ; vice.

Twin Conveniences Provide Farmer With More Income, Better Health By IRA MILLER Farm Electrification Bureau Like ham and eggs, running water nd water heaters go together. These ;win conveniences do as much as any thing to bring urban living conditions T- ? A-'t'-wv rm- v.-.W WJI gHMB IT TAKES hot water? and plenty of it ? to clean milking ?lentils ? adequately. to the country. And, when It comes to saving the farmer time and labor, they rate near the top of his electri cal helper list Let's see what eacli can? and doe*? do. Running water pays dividends ii< isveral ways. On the production front. cows that have plenty of water avail able at all times, produce from 10 to 20% more milk; hens lay from 8 to 10% more eggs. In the home, running water pro vides what nothing else can offer better health for the farm family. Public health records show that the introduction of running water into the home improves health conditions more than 50%. Also it eliminates the drudgery of hand pumping, and makes possible the installation of modern bathrooms in all farm homes. Water pressure systems are com pletely automatic and require very little attention. And, in addition, run ning water offers protection against fire ? the farmer's eternal bugaboo. It is estimated that about 3.000 gallons of water can be pumped at an electrical consumption cost of approximately 3 cents. The average farm requires a system which has a capacity of 500 gallons per hour. Electric water heaters also are automatic and, generally, are located in the farm kitchen or basement Like pressure water systems, water heaters have production, as well as household value. The dairy farmer, for example, would find it almost im possible to operate efficiently without hot water. For cleanliness is one of the most important steps on the way to the production of quality milk. And cleanliness requires an abun dance of hot water Hot water is a vital part of modern living. And. to have It Instantly at the turn of the faucet. Is a dream which gradually Is being realized by an Increasing num ber of farm families PREACHES SUNDAY? I>r. W. C.
