DETROIT — Vandalism

The latest target was the
Idanha Community Church.
Youngsters entered the church
Monday afternoon and, appar­

throughout the church.
According to a report, they
were caught, and for punish­
ment they had to clean up the
mess under the watchful eyes
of their mothers.
Sometimes a tale about
early settlers is more fascinat­
ing than parliments or kings.

John Hayes, a young Scots­

fight the English. In the bat­

the Scots were defeated. Ah!

This stone still stands un­
disturbed by the railroad or
the freeway.
Bob had read
about the
stone and decided to go look
for it. One Sunday afternoon
we started out from Dover
with our host’s family. We
traversed first one winding
road, and then another — no
easy task when roads are cut
by the freeway. Finally, we
were ready to give up. “The
stone no longer exists.”
Then four year old Leif in
his four-year old voice said,
“I saw a big rock back there
with words on it. We passed
it.”
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“I tried to, but you wouldn’t
listen.”
We turned around, drove
slowly, and there it was—with
a bronze plaque attached.
If you were coming to
America as John did, what two
things might you be bringing?
From all accounts he brought
his trusty claymore (sword)
and a finger ring. No one
knows now where they are,
but we do have the bronze
plaque on the stone.

Quite naturally ... more trade builds
better communities. Every single ad­
ditional dollar that is spent here at home
does its bit to bring greater prosperity for
you and for all of us who live here.
As a matter of fact, Trade builds wher­
ever it exists. Spend your money at
home, the trade it creates builds here.
Spend it in the city, the building takes
place there.
There is contentment, security and op­
portunity in a growing community.
These are the most important things that
your dollar buys . . . but they can’t be
wrapped up and taken home with you
from a city store.
