Shirley Daeber has opened a bookstore in Sandy next to Accent Hair on Proctor
Boulevard. The Book Place carries best sellers, a self-help section for home and car
maintenance, a science-fiction corner and extensive children’s selections. She operates
another Book Place in Welches where she said many Sandy residents visited, urging her
to open a second store here. This is the only bookstore in Sandy, since an earlier book-
exchange shop and another religious bookstore closed.

The Sabbath identified
by miracles
Ex. 16: ,8-20 The account given in Exodus ,6 clearly re
veals the jealous care God has had for His Sabbath.
He draws a distinct line between the seventh day and
the six working days.
The Lord wrought a threefold miracle each week
(1) Ruined double quantity of manna on the sixth day,
(2) Preserved it so that it would keep over the Sabbath.
(3) Manna was not given on the Sabbath day. This
continued for forty years. Certoinly there could be no question in the minds of those people
as to identity of the seventh day. This event took place some fifteen hundred years before
Christ’s day. The Sabbath was preserved by the Jewish nation, although at intervals the
lord punished them for not observing it in the proper way.

Sandy, O re g o n
Luke 4:, 6 In the doys of Christ the true Sabbath or seventh day was known. Christ is our
example, and the record states that He was a Sabbath observer. Surely He knew which was
the correct day to keep We want to follow His example in all things: The Sabbath day was
celebrated by Abraham, the father of all true believers, and his decendonts. Gen. 26:5 The
Sabbath day should be celebrated from sunset to sunset. Lev. 23:32 Isaiah tells about the
restoration of the Sabbath and gives instructions about the keeping of the Lord t day. Isaiah
58:12,13. Nothing should be allowed to disturb the sacred communion of our souls with
God ot ony time, especially on the Sabbath. New born men do not keep the Sabbath in order
to earn salvation but because they are saved by Christ s grace. They celebrate Christ » day
out of joy: as a living expression of their love, loyalty and gratitude toward their glorious
Saviour

etirement. Are you ready for yours?
A comfortable retirement isn’t
something to hope for. It’s something
to plan for. Today. That’s why IBS is
ready to help you with a new Individual
Retirement Account
program beginning
January 1, 1982.
R
At that time, IRAs
will be available to all
wage earners, even if
you already have a
pension plan.
A retirement plan you can depend on.
IBS is offering a fixed rate IRA at 12%
interest for 30 months. This interest
rate is comparable to variable rate plans
and gives you the added security of a
guaranteed interest
rate on your money.
Keogh plans are also
available for IBS cus
tomers who are self-
employed.
YOU GO
ING TO DO
ABOUTIT?
The new IRA. It's good
for you. What you want
to contribute to your
retirement is up to
you. An IBS plan can
start as low as $50 per
month. By law, a single person will he
allowed to deposit up to $2,000 a year;
a working couple can set aside $4,000
and $2,250 a year is allowed for couples
with a non-working spouse. And best
of all, you don’t pay federal taxes on
the money deposited in your IRA. Fed
eral tax on the interest is paid only on
the amount withdrawn each year of
your retirement.
