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.

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.
