Spending an entire night

The bad news, though, is
that the auto industry

to
reduce
hydrocarbons and carbon

nitrogen oxides was lowered
in the new law, too. This
means that 250 percent more
nitrogen oxide pollution w ill
be allowed from new autos.
When that’s translated into
m illions of exhaust pipes, it
adds up to millions of tons of
— the good news for Santa
this year is that con

More on the negative side
is that most major industrial
sources of air pollution — in
electric power, steel, copper,
lead, and zinc industries —
are not yet in compliance
with emission limitations
which they were supposed to
meet three years ago.
If Santa read the American

appalled to find some sur

Pickin’ up the pickup
MEMBERS OF the state police and employees of a local towing company
were hard at work last week retrieving a pickup truck from the bottom of a
steep cliff on the Lolo Pass Road. The truck had been abandoned last spring
and stripped of all its valuable parts over the summer. The crew didn’t pick
a particularly good day to do the job, however, as low-hanging clouds and
wet ground hampered the effort.
CARE needs gifts to help the poor
During the holiday season,
the meaning of giving gifts is
too often lost in efforts to buy
bigger and better or more
unusual presents.
But for im poverished
people in developing nations
who have so little, the
meaning of a simple gift has
not been lost, especially if the
gift helps pull them out of
poverty.
Gifts to CARE go a long
way toward doing just that.
In the poorest rural areas
of developing nations food is
the urgent basic need. This
year’s Holiday Food Crusade
your dollars go directly into
m illio n to help provide
nourishing supplem ental
feeding to 25 million people,
mostly children.
Children and adults who
are weak and disease-prone
from malnutrition are unable
to learn and apply skills to
better their lives. And so, in
addition to providing food,
your dollars to directly into
CARE projects which teach
n u tritio n and soil con
servation methods to enable
needy people to grow more
food.
With CARE material and
guidance, they build schools
to educate their children,
construct sanitary water
systems and health centers
to combat diseases which
plague them, and build roads
and small businesses to bring
them into the mainstream of
economic development.
The people learn and teach
others in their country.
CARE conducts feeding and
s e lf-h e lp
d e v e lo p m e n t
programs in 36 developing
nations in Africa, Asia, Latin
America and the Middle
East.
Fertilize with gypsum
Gypsum is a good fertilizer
because it provides sulfur
and calcium for growing
plants. Unfortunately, home
gardeners often use gypsum
fo r the wrong reason,
especially in lawns and
gardens.
“ Gypsum is most often
used in gardens and land
scaping with the false belief
that it can improve poor
quality soils,” said Ray
M cN eilan, Oregon State
University Extension home
gardening agent.
Gypsum cannot alter a
heavy clay or compacted
soil. It is ineffective as a soil
amendment and is a waste of
time and money if used for
that purpose, McNeilan said.
The best way to improve
compacted or clay soils is to
add organic matter. Com
post, sawdust, barkdust, leaf
mold and peat moss work
well Manure that is not
infested with a soil pest
known as symphylans is also
excellent. Fresh manure is
more likely to be free of
sym phylans than older,
rotted manures, he ex-,
plained
Although it is more ex
pensive and difficult to ap
ply, a two-inch layer of sand
in addition to organic matter
also helps improve clay or
compacted soils. Do not add
sand by itself, McNeilan
cautioned.

WE’RE HERE
TO HELP
Churches exist for a reason. People. A
church should be a place where people can
get help—help in putting their lives together.
And help for their physical needs as well.
Many people sense a deep need to establish
spiritual “ roots,” to find a place where God’s
love is m in istered through a healing
com m unity of b elievers. E ach Saturday
morning worship services are held, during
which God’s Word is studied and proclaimed.
Please feel welcome to attend.
Once each year, usually in the fall, members
of the Adventist church in North America
bring a report of their church’s activities to
the homes in their communities to let you
know of their services available and to
inform you of the ways funds many of you
have generously given were spent.
The mem bers of the Sandy Church will be
visiting homes in the Sandy area between
December 9 and 18. If you would like to share
in these community services, you will be
able to make a donation at that time.
Often, when people think of Adventists, they
consider our world-wide program—hospitals,
mission clinics, colleges and universities,
disaster relief program s and health educa
tion. Our work has taken on such a wide-
ranging character because we believe we
should go where the needs are. But we’re just
as concerned about being of help right here
in the Sandy area.

THE COMMUNITY
FROM THE
SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH
The church also provides emergency help to
fam ilies in need through its com m unity
services center, health education through
the 5-Day Plan to Stop Smoking, clinics for
stress control, coronary risk evaluations,
and nutrition and cooking schools. Christian
education is provided for grades 1-9 at Hood
View Jr. Academy in Boring And counseling
is available through the pastor’s study.
If there is any way we can help, don ’t hesitate
to contact us. The address of the church is
17150 University Ave., Sandy. The phone is
668-6144.
Because Christ lives, we live too—and seek
to help others as He did.
