The Holladays said a man who wanted his identity kept secret made them a four-figure offer. But they said they de cided to wait for a still better one. Meanwhile, they said, the strange old rocking chair keeps on rocking, untouched by hu man hands. Admission Considered Mrs. Holladay said she is con sidering charging admission to the curiosity seekers who have thronged her home to watch the red-upholstered chair's strange antics. The Holladays had been hav ing "open house" for the curi ous and the skeptical, but they soured on visitors when some one sat in the chair and the arm broke off. n No one has yet given a satis factory explanation of the phen omenon, Mrs. Holladay said. The Holladays and their three sons have moved the chair into each room of their frame house, but it makes no difference. The chair just keeps rocking. Central Christ Church Sermon Topic Announced "Mt. Sinai" will be the sermon topic Sunday at the 11 a.m. wor ship hour at Central Church of Christ. This is the third in a weekly series of talks on great events from the Bible. Sunday's message will help to show God's law for man as given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, it was an nounced by Don H.

Ordinary oils 'Jrun away" from heat like that.. . leave hot spots bare and unprotected. But not RPM Motor Oil! It's compounded to cling to hot metal . . . give you the best engine insurance you can buy . . . For example, one fleet of vehicles, operating on "RPM," in the Mojave Desert, Death Valley and southern Nevada, traveled over seven million miles last year without a single failure due to motor oil.
