M.Ht.n A A Hilnlnv A Year Outside These Counties Protection Of Soil Is Very Essential ; Use Judgment Soil stewardship week, a nation wide observance which places em phasis on man's obligations to God as stewards of the soil, wa ter and other related resources, will be celebrated locally May 3 10, according to E.

I n this year's booklet each citizen is asked to consider hie share "In the great Society of man kind, (since) each of us has a God-given purpose for being. In our time each among us fulfills a mission in the long progression toward the ultimate design of our Maker. To each among, God has as signed a share in the expanding brotherhood of stewards.
