Lccrn by Example i r,.i,.o ia tiiii An Impressive example of this truth Is furnished by the com munity of Eureka, in northern California. While theoretical arguments whirl around the Lssuo of safety in nuclear power plants and have resulted in the delay of needed nuclear plant construction. Eureka has been enjoying the benefits of nu clear generated electricity for seven years. The citizens of the commmunity arc so proud of the nuclear plant, which a West Coast firm put into service In their area in 193, that they persuaded the company to Install a sign on the road by the plant declaring that it is a nuclear power plant. A staff writer for the Monterey, California, Peninsula Herald, decided to determine for himself how the people of Eureka felt about living as neighbors of atomic energy. The word given to him by Eureka civic leaders was, "Don't worry about it." Before the plant was built, the people of Eureka were admittedly concerned, since It Is located abotu five miles from the heart of town, and an elementary school Is only a short distance from the plant. The Herald staff writer des cribes the mechanics and the safety factors of nuclear power generation. He also quoted the opinions and findings of lo cal leaders on the subject. The president of a local school board reports, "Parents are now accepting the plant as they would any plant." A Radio-TV station owner commented, ". . . No one has challenged the safety factor." A local edi tor remarked, "Several years ago, the Idea of the plant caused a rash of letters to the editor. But . . . The plant is pretty well accepted now by everyone." Not long ago, the citizens of another West Coast commu nity voted a four-year moratorium on the construction of a proposed nuclear plant In their vicinity. They, like other peo ple all over the nation, could profit from the experience of Eureka, California. As it is, by their vote, they have raised the specter of power shortage In their region and have an nounced their intention to deny the fruits of nuclear tech nological progress for at least four years. The race horse Is the only animal that can take thousands of people for a ride at the same time. Over The Tee Cup Br MARIE McQUARRIE Our Saturday evening golf play being started at 6:00 p.m., may have been the reason for such a good turnout at Willow Creek Country Club. Twenty, eight people played the golf that was planned and there were others on the course that came down to play just regulation golf. Sounds like most didn't play "Just ordinary regulation" golf, and that Is an understate ment. An obstacle course was planned by the hosts of the eve ning, the Bob Jepsens and the Clint McQuarrles. This wasn't really a serious game and was meant for the fun and laughs In It. For example, tee-offs were made from standing on a blown tip inncrtube( sitting in a chair, right foot In a bucket, left foot on a box with a 9 Iron and blindfolded. (Some said they made better drives blindfolded than they make with both eyes open). Other odd situations were, putting with a wood, us ing the same club all the way on one hole, even to putting out. These things sound silly, but It is fun and different to play when skill doesn't count and unusual antics are the gen eral run of the game. La Verno Van Marter, Sr., and Ray Massey, partners, won first. Judy Rothrock and Dale Boner won with the most strokes tak en. Ken Rothrock and his wife, JUuy, were here visiting the Terry Thompsons and came down to join In the game. About 40 hungry people were at the barbecue pit to fry their steaks, when the families of those playing all got together. This Is such a nice place to be with your family on a cool Sat urday evening talking with friends and eating a meal to Satisfy anyone's cuisine appe tite, An "obstacle course" Is one ac tivlty this Tee-Cup gal has al ways wanted to have, with a large crowd attending. Now she is satisfied. So many people ride around the country-side In this locality In the hopes of spotting a deer or two. It even becomes quite a past-time for a good. many. Tuesday morning the first coup le it nn the coif course had the privilege of playing golf and also seeing me ueer. v mciv crattori from the 5th hole, eat- im, in rutsforth's garden. Now, there aren't many golf courses where you can play your game and see your deer ai me same non't Imaelne the Cuts- forth appreciate hosting a meal to the deer, oui uie iron TIMES. ThuradaT.

There were 7 ladies down to play at 8:00 Tuesday, a golfers' mornim?. weatherwise, If there ever was one. As we played in pairs, the game went quicKiy and we were out of the heat before the sun was too high in the sky. That lemonade on No. 7 was very refreshing, after that thirsty walk down No. 6. Cora mae Ferguson was hostess for the day. Can't say Coramae doesn't favor her daughter, Mary Lou Kelly, as Mary Lou won both prizes for low gross and least putts. Mary Lou owed her Mother a golf ball and Coramae knew this was one way to get it back. There will be a play day this coming Sunday, the 19 at 5:00 p.m., the time being set later than on the schedule, because of the hot afternoons. The Fergus ons are hosts for the play. No Tee -Cup for a couple of weeks, unless someone else takes over the writing, as this gal Is going vacationing. TO THE EDITOR. . .

' ' Let us stand up and be counted for our God and our country. To every citizen of America I have this to say: Power and in fluences and deceitful voices are presenting old and young minds with nerniexinc ana iimkinmi problems, trying to destroy oc lief In God, destroy aecency a nd honesty. To be acsiroyca whitewash lies that lead I to into paths of destruction, these so cial reformers caning inem selves Black Power. Militants are not interested In helping the Negro or any other society. Their goal is to bring down the United states to their level, which Is led by Communism. They want a communistic wonu. iney are nut to hulld a Soviet America. Their aims arc selfish. Hatred no love for God or country. This Ls Satan's scheme and he has been auite busy for years and centuries to bring the world under the sway of Communism. Their bait ls to make people dissatisfied, to hate each other, destroy the beautiful love of par ents for children, and children for parents, destroy belief in God and sneer at the precious name of Jesus. To destroy mod esty and plant In its place free love, free sex, no morals.) Those were way back In grandma's days. Anything goes new so long as you can get away with it, is their motto. The Communists and Atheists are good destroyers of truth, thev are excellent In white washing a lie. I read if it hadn't been for ulmost 14 billion in economic assistance pumped In to Russia hv the United States since the Bolshevik take over in 1917, there would be no Soviet Socialist Renublic today. We know Russia is out to take over our beautiful country as they have taken over other beautiful and peaceful loving countries, but let's remember that God Is still on his throne and true heart felt prayer has more power than nil the hnmbs and missiles this world can offer. So mothers and fathers tell your children about jpsno. tell them about God and his power. Go to Sunday School and church with them. Alter au church represents God. It's his house. He will meet you there and fill your soul with peace and Joy the world can't give. He will forgive your sins. God is not dead. He is a wonderful God and he loves us more that we can ever know. He proved that when he cave us His Son to suffer on the cruel cross of Calvary and die for our sins. His blood cleanses us from sin. His love is ptemal. He makes us his heirs. Young people, stand up for him, be courageous. The DiacK power militants will disagree with me, but It's true. Be a real Christ ian don't destroy your schools. It takes money to reouna. trioht thp Atheists and Com munists with the truth. Save your country. Don t be ashamed to name the name of Jesus. He is the door to heaven. Let Him be your leader. Moses used all the excuses that we use to avoid the divine call to service: not strong enough; can't speak well; relatives need our neip; but then he stopped reselling nnrl snld I will do What you want me to do God. God used him to glorify his name and by hia faith In find he led slaves to their freedom and establish ed for his own people and for us the old testament founda tion of our religious life.

Wlnslow Notes from Linda July 6, 1970 Dear Mom and all: Linda Cooper is alive and well in Moers (Germany). We went by chartered bus across Mass., and most of Conn., to the still-to-be-completed airport of Brad ley Field, Hartford, Conn. On the plane there were six seats, to n row. of course. The take-off was fabulous. The shaking of the plane and the roar it was wonderful when added to the electric excitement in the air, and watching the houses get smaller. Between talking to everyone, o-pttinfr drinks for everyone, try ing to sleep, and waiting for us to overtake the darkness, the trip passed quickly. It was very interesting going from day to night and from night to day. Up ahead was darkness and be- ind lieht. I switched seats about 20 times, but I was by the window as we went over TrolanH and Eneland. though it was too dark to see Ireland and the clouds obscured part of Eng land. My first impression of Europe is green patchwork fields, rows of planted trees, forests, and stones. I loved the landing much more than the take-off. Brus sels International airport is very beautiful, except that the lug on oro mmM Hnwn a lonff mov- ing belt and It took awhile lor all 250 of us to eet our luggage.

TeL 676-9418 al of the groups, but my group had to wait We didn't go through customs, but just took our baggago to the sidewalk u.her we waited for about hulf an hour and when the bus came, we waited for another half hour. You must realize Mom and all. that this entire time I had on ly one shoe on because I couiu n' thp other one over my h n.ln pp. (Linda had sur gery before she lelt tne smi f,,p nn in. crown toe-nail.) While waiting for the bus to leave, I was watching tne trai rip flour hv. I reallv don't un demand how people drive over here. The people aart acrox un street and the cars zip by. There appears to be no speed limit. Very few American cars, uui or,LC the street was a Shell station. It was hard for me to convince myself that I was noi in America that I reallv was In Belgium. Finally the bus took off and we held onto the seats ahead. Brussels is an Interesting city. I think I wouldn't mind living thpro Th,.re arp manv old build ings, that, nevertheless, look nice. Around balconies, down town nrp iron pralines, which are very nice looking. The old buildings are usually only four nr flup stories hieh. Then one turns a corner, and up comes a new apartment building, ouiii, onep np.nln. of stone. We went to the Bristol-Midi Hotel. I don't know how to begin describing it. it is old. Straicht ud for four floors, 85 steps, 8 flights of stairs to the top of the notei ua m v mom. Quite a surprise! To have to carry 40 lb. up those steep steps alter neing awane fop 94 hours. Is auite a shock to the system, but when we started up the stairs, we am not know Inst how far ud they were. Another surprise was the rooms. They were quaint, quae uplike anything you would find in America. There were two single beds, two wooden chairs, a wardrobe, a sink, and a mir ror. The rooms were not small, but they were not overly large, cither The windows ODened out to a drop of about 100 ft. There were about four wool DianKeis on thp hed and a QUilt. and pillow was very hard and sheet was placed over it, so one couia not Bnucrtrle un to it. The bed, on the other hand was very soft. At 1:00 my group met for luneh in the dininn room. We had soup first. It was fun being served the soup at the table. The rest of the meal we served ourselves. After lunch, we went to the train station to change then we bought some bread, cheese, and sand wich meat, which we made in to sandwiches at the hotel. For the rest of the afternoon we slept. Then we went for a 50 miip hikp to a restaurant. It wasn't really that long and the night was nice, l naa a snoe nn rv.., foot co it was Dleasant. KJll 1 1 1 J ' v ' It was really a nice restaurant.
