Mrs. Robert Carleton from LYONS We are living in a sinful world A better place we would like to go; It is misery, grief and disappointment By experience we all should know. There is one consolation, Fut our faith in the living God; He is alw ays there to help us Before we are laid beneath the sod. But as we journey down life’s pathway Studying which path It should be; We are thinking of our eternal welfare Where will we spend eternity. Jesus’ Spirit is always with us Guiding the way that we should go, He is our eternal Lord and Saviour This is one thing we really know. We are getting old and weary We are nearing that great divide We are thinking, and we wonder, Just what will be, on the other side. Jesus has gone to prepare a place For the ones that are born from above, He is arranging a few last touches For the ones that deserve His love. As we pass over, our eyes are opened We see the beauty of eternity, We see our Saviour and our loved ones That we have longed and wanted to see. They are there, ready to greet us On that bright and shining shore, The love of being brought together Where we will never part no more. • God the Just will rule the Heavens And countless angels there will be. There will be Peace, Joy and Happiness Throughout the ages of eternity. HUGH DURALL Advertising in The Mill City Enterprise Brings Results—Try It Every Week Coming soon on radio ....

STORIES OF PACIFIC POWERLAND told by Nelson Olmsted PACIFIC POWER & LIGHT COMPANY Children With Birth Defects Kathy Dent is a typical western beauty: tall, blonde and bursting with energy and good health. Kathy, who is 18 and lives in Bakersfield, Calif., has some concerns that perhaps one would not expect of a hap py-go-lucky teenager. "I have a friend who is the mother of a mentally retarded child,” Kathy explains. “Know ing that child made me feel that I have so much compared to him; and then I discovered how good it made me feel to teach him something, or just to make him smile. So now that I have a chance to help other children, I want to do it. I have to do it.” Feeling the way she does, it’s no surprise that Kathy became a member of the March of Dimes Teen Action Program (TAP). Led by Kathy Garver, who stars in “Family Affair” on CBS television, the TAPs are junior volunteers. Organ TO KNOW AND TO CARE is the motto for Kathy Dent, 18, Bakers ized in 1954, they are an in field, Calif.
