Morrow County Parks
offer much for campers
Anyone thinking of camping out
this summer in the mountains,
breathing fresh air, barbecuing steak
over a fire and enjoying a cool, quiet
night for sleeping, may want to try
Morrow County’s Cutsforth and An

The Morrow County parks offer
full hook-up spaces for RVs; tent
camping; fireplaces; clean restrooms
and showers; fish ponds with han
dicap access; playground equipment;
areas for picnics, recreation, family
get-togethers or class reunions.
This year, for the first time, Mor

park host program. In part, the
responsibilities of these hosts will
consist of being visible, greeting
patrons, monitoring park activity,
maintaining an atmosphere con

will remain open until Monday,

THE HOP
On Sunday, May 6, the congrega
tions o f the Hope and Valby
Lutheran Churches will observe
Rural Life Sunday.
This festival was once called
Rogationtide, from the Latin word,
rogare which means to beseech.
Today the emphasis is on the idea
that God and hum anity are
cooperators in the creative process
of agriculture and the care of the
earth, and that humanity’s tasks are
given by God, because human life
depends on God's goodness in
quickening the life giving power of
the sown seed, which results in the
return to mortals of the bounty of the
earth.
Worship Service at Valby will be

Grazelda commanded," Hey Clem, the
yard needs mowed & raked and the
fence needs painted.” Clem squirmed,
"Oh gee hon sorry, the fellers down at
Miller's Mini Marl & . Chevron
say that the mushrooms are out, so
I’ve just got to go out and pick me
some.” Grazelda quizzed, “ Okay Clem,
but did you know some of them
mushrooms are poisonous? Why
they’ve been known to kill tens, hun
dreds, even thousands of folks, and
wipe out whole nations!!”
Clem pondered, "Uh Grazelda, on second thought, where did we
put that rake?”
