The last apprition of the Virgin Mother accredited by the church occurred at Fatima, Portugal, 33 years ago. Wisconsin Farm wife Urges Throng To Pray To Avert Distaster To U.S. NECEDAII, Wis., (Thousands of spectators from many slates, who yesterday, heard a Wisconsin farmwife relay a message she said she had received from the Virgin Mary, trekked homeward yesterday with mixed reactions. Standing before an improvised shrine in her farmyard, Mrs. Mary Anna "Van Hoof told a hushed throng that the Blessed Virgin had ex horted them all to "pray, pray, pray Mrs. Van Huff claims she has seen the mother of Christ six time before in visionary appear ances, here. The spectators estimated to number nearly 100,000 had to de cide for themselves whether to discount or believe the claims that had drawn them there, for they saw nothing unusual. But unusual in itself was the huge assemblage around the shrine erected where Mrs. Van Hoff says the Blessed Mother has visited her since last November. Mrs. Van Hoff, 41, emerged from her home shortly before noon and, as the throng stilled, knelt before the image of Mary standing in the midst of several trees some 30 feet from the house. She rose and blessed the people with a crucifix, then knelt again. Her lips moved but no sounds were heard. She rose once more after few minutes and in a tense voice spoke to the masses. She repeatedly urged her listen ers to "pray, pray, pray." "The enemy of God is all over America." She told the crowd: "Pope Pius Xll is in danger unless we pray. . . . I want to warn of Korea. It won't end unless we pray. Our bishop must remember my warn ing of Fatima. Mack clouds are coming over Amei. Alaska is (he first stepping stone. Remember the Pacific coast. Remember now, only prayer will save us." Mrs. Van Hoff at times was inaudible, dispite a microphone, and at times her talk was ramb ling. Finished speaking, she re turned to the house with her hus band, Fred, 57, who expressed con fidence that Mary does appear to his wife. Prompted to ask her molher if she had seen the vision, Joanne Van Hoof, 13, went in after her mother and a moment later re ported through a screen door: "She says what a silly question yes." The visitors, from all parts of the United States and from Can ada, melted away. They had come by auto, special trains and buses. As Ihey left, many perhaps re called that Mrs. Van Hoff says the Virgin also has promised to appear Oct. 7. Those ot Mrs. van Hoof s Ro man Catholic faith were aware Sanitary Unit Annexation Plan To Be Discussed A meeting of persons residing north of the boundary of the North Roseburg Sanitary district and south of the state weighing scales on highway 99 has been called by the Douglas County Health department. The meeting will be Thursday at 7:30 p. m. at the Jumbo Drive Inn, located on the highway. Pur pose of the session will be to dis cuss the question of annexation to the Norlh Roseburg Sanitary district to provide sanitary sew ers for the area. The following will be present to answer questions: T. M. Gerow, district engineer, Oregon State Sanitary authority; Clarence V. Landis, chairman of the North Roseburg Sanitary district board; Donald Lloyd, manager of the district; La Vera Miller and T. Claude Baker, Douglas County sanitarians. The area was originally ex cluded from the district in the engineer's recommendations lor inclusion in the district, because of the relative low value of the property. Recently, however, a number of new residences have been erected which will bring th area within the economically feas ible category, it is announced. The meeting will be the second step toward possible enlargement of the North Roseburg Sanitary district. An election will be held Aug. 22, to determine whether an area to the west of the district shall be annexed. This area peti tioned the district for annexation and the election was set. Ac cording to Landis, the treatment plant now under construction could easily handle the added load. The cost of construction would be proportionately less if more property were brought into the district. 1 Whatever you do for summer fun, you need plenty of Societe candies, fresh-packed in cellophane!
