every kind of weather we don’t
want, we'll simply have to sit
idly by and wait for better fishing.
It affords us a mighty good time
to get the tackle box out and
clean it up, also, to oil and repair
the reels and fix up the guides on
the old rod.
Should either the rod or reel be
in bad condition, it is a good time
to send them in to the manufac-
turer and for a thorough clean-
ing and new parts if needed. Lead-
ing name brand tackle manufac-
turers do this worjc 'for a very
nominal fee and your rod or reel
will come back as good as new.

have any luck, probably because
he got cold feet and hands. He

We’re going to make an effort
to get up and fish with the Parson
in the near future and especially
to see his new loving cup a friend
sent him from Oklahoma City. In
addition to having his name In-

New Phone Building
Finished, Telephone
Numbers to Change
Announcement was made today
by Bill Boone, manager of SW
Bell Telephone Co. here that the
new telephone building on South
Main had been completed and that
new telephone numbers would be
available probably in August.
A two-letter, five-figure num-
ber will be used by all telephones
on the Sapulpa exchange. These
new numbers are necessary to fit
Sapulpa into the nationwide Long
Distance dialing plan.
New telephone numbers will be
given as soon as possible before
the dial change according to
Boone.
Southwestern Bell now has 15
telephone exchanges with distance
dialing in Oklahoma. The Sapulpa
exchange will be the 16th with
distance dial facilities in the state.

achievement night meeting
124 Pt. Blood
Taken Tuesday
Local officials were high in their
praise of Sapulpa and surround-
ing area for their response to the
call made for blood donors here
Tuesday. A total of 121 pints of
blood was donated between 1 and
7 p.m., according to Ralph Wil-
liams, who directed the recruiting
team here.
There were 145 persons who
called, but of this number, 21
were rejected for varying reasons.
Considering the high percentage
of persons with colds and influ-
enza in recent weeks this high
rate of rejection was to be antici-
pated, Williams said.
The goal for Tuesday's visit was
188 pints of blood and Williams
said he believes Sapulpa would
have gone over the goal if the
snow had not started falling dur-
ing the afternoon. The number of
callers dropped immediately after
the snow began, he said.
Williams was high in praise of
the Mounds Lion* cttfir which
conducted a recruiting drive there
and provided .five donors. More
were scheduled to come, but were
detained because of the weather.
Of special interest to officials
here was the call for B-negative
blood, which was needed for open-
heart surgery on Wednesday. At
least four pints of this rare type
were secured hefe and rushed to
Tulsa before tho blood bank clos-

go over our shoes. The ceiling and
much of the walLs were covered
with beautiful tiles — predomi-

called the “blue mosque." We
noticed a boy of about ten sitting

window chanting something. Prof.
Dominie said the boy was memor-

memorized, it will take the boy
about three hours to recite It.

in the past few years, the Turks
have been going back to the

"The entire floor of the mos-

"Our world Is threatened on all
sides by the perils of Communism,
which has made human slavery to
the state the most important issue
of the 20th century."
Dr. Judd suggested that the
sickness of our society can be
traced to the fact that we no
longer stand for the great princi-
ples of our faith, as Americans
and Christians. We must be ener-
gized into action, he said, to build
our faith, to make it grow, and to
share it as the Communist build
and share their faith.
The speaker compared man’s
spiritual growth with the growth
of everything which is alive and
healthy. He suggested that there
are four processes that contribute
to health growth: nourishment,
elimination of waste, exercise and
reproduction. Dr. Judd said that
for a man to grow spiritually he
must nourish his faith on the
Scriptures and on fellowship with
1 God through Jesus Christ. He must
eliminate from his life those things
| which weaken his faith He must
j exercise hs faith by witnessing to
j it wherever he is — at home, at
j work and at play. He must, above
[ ail. reproduce his faith by sharing
it and by witnessing to it with
enthusiasm.
