MICRO SWITCH, a pioneer in the precision snap action French Broad Baptists Erect Church In Idaho By WALTER HARRELL It all started some time back when the pastor of Eastside Southern Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho visited a longtime friend Rev. E. J. Jenkins (Superintendent of missions for The French Broad Baptist Association.) The members of Eastside had been having Sunday School and church services in the living room of the pastor's home for several years. During this time they had saved enough money to purchase a lot on which to build. After purchasing the land they had no money to build. They secured some help from the Southern Baptist Convention, but not enough to build adequate facilities. After learning about this, Mr. Jenkins stuck his neck out and told the pastor that if he would use the money to buy material, that he (Jenkins) would take a crew from WNC to build the church. Then Mr. Jenkins went to work in Madison and Bun combe county to secure the laoorers netded- After several Turn Clocks Back Saturday It s that time again! Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour this Saturday night. It's time to go from Daylight to Eastern Standard time. Court To Start Here NnVPTTinPr O 11UVC1I11JC1 It has been announced that District court here, scheduled for November 8th and 9th, has been changed to start on Thursday, November 9 with the November 8th opening cancelled. The concellation of court on Wednesday, November 8th, was deemed advisable due to the general election being held on November 7th. Judge J. Ray Braswell will preside.

The division manufactures a variety of precision swit ches, industrial controls, photoelectric devices, proximity switches, solid state weeks of begging, pleading, and praying Jenkins nded up with fifteen men and three women including himself. The men and women represented fourteen churches in WNC. Some of the churches paid expenses and some of the men paid their own. After a lot of work and preparation we were ready to go. We departed from Jenkins' home at Mars Hill Wednesday evening, September 27. We drove west for 24 hours, stopping only for fuel and food. Some of the workers knew each other and some didn't, but after 24 hours on a bus together you get to know everybody. After a good night's rest we headed west again. We arrived in Salt Lake City Saturday morning, stopped for breakfast and a little sightseeing. We left Salt Lake City about noon and arrived in Twin Falls late Saturday afternoon. After this long trip everyone was tired so we got a motel room and rested Saturday night Sunday was spent preparing the sleeping quarters located on the church property. We attended church serviced Sunday. Everyone was up at daylight Monday going about their different Jobs. The concrete Company had not finished the foundation, so we built the walls and stacked them up. The concrete finishers worked until 2:00 Tuesday morning so we could start on the walls at daylight. Tuesday morning found some people erecting the walls of the main building while others were building the walls for the educational building. By Ten o'clock Tuesday night the roof trusses were all erected and braced. It was a tired crew that sat around the supper table that night, but not one comolaint could be not one complaint could be heard. Wednesday dawned with a slow rain so everyone mounted the ladders to the roof and by noon all the sheathing was secure. After lunch the rain became a steady downpour. This didn't stop several of the men from putting the black roofing paper on though. As soon as the paper was secured, everyone got inside and built petitions and put up in sulation, or anything there keyboards and h lgh per formance motors in four Illinois plants, a Massachusetts facility and four factories in Canada, Scotland, Germany and Japan. was to do. Thursday was rainly all day, but we didn't lose a minute, and by nightfall the walls were up on the educational building. Friday was a beautiful day after the fog lifted and the men went about their Jobs like machinery. By five o'clock Friday evening the roof was on the educational building and all the petitions were in place. We couldn't put the permanent siding on, because the windows didn't come from the manufacturing plant. The women of Eastside Church gave us an ap preciation dinner Friday Night. They were amazed at the amount of work we had done. Saturday was another beautiful day and the shingles and siding seemed to fall into place. By four o'clock Saturday afternoon the doors were all hung and the roof was completed. The windows didn't come Saturday so we couldn't finish the siding. After a short tour of Twin Falls we packed our belongings and headed home, auiiV. the waving, and tears of Jpoth the workers and the Eastside Church members. To the people of Eastside Southern Baptist Church this was truly a miracle. During the week different ones would come by and express their gratitude. It was hard to believe they would have a new church. One of the young girls at Jack Pot, Nev., asked one of the men, "You mean you're building a real church?" This sounds strange to us because we see churches being built everyday, but some of these peoplehave never seen a church because in Jack Pot ( Pop. 600) there is no church at all. The trip back home was just as long as the one going out but it didn't seem so. Everyone knew one another better after working and fellowshipping together for a week. At one time on the trip back we sang hymns for five hours without stopping. It seemed that everyone on the trip had received more of a blessing then the Eastside Church members. In fact some of the men are talking of going somewhere else to build another church. I
