By Housing Mon
CHICAGO <U.» — The National
Association of Housing Officials
says national standards of build-
ing construction, developed by the
federal government, could cure
some of the building industry's ills.
The association cited a recent
report, “Resources for Freedom,”
issued by the President’s materials
policy commission.
The association said there are
about 2,000 local building codes

Because building codes vary 14
widely, manufacturers are forced
either to produce building mate*

scribed standard, or produce maw
variations of the same product It
meet the various codes.

then they will not fail to perform

Cooking With Sound

CLEVELAND, O. (U.fil — Cook-
ing with sound might be just a-
round the corner.
Scientists of the Brush Devel-
opment Co. here say “ultra-son-
ies" already arc used in airplane
manufacture to test wing strength.
Sound waves, pitched so high they
can’t be heard by the human car,
detect flaws in materials and en-
able engineers to spot faulty parts.
Recent tests showed that ultra-
sonic cooking might be the cook-
ing of the future. Already, one
catsup manufacturer produces his
product in a fraction of the time
by using sounds instead of heat to
prepare the tomatoes.
Engineers think ultra-sonics has
an unlimited future, much of
which has not even entered the
experimental stage.

to worship under the arbor dur-
ing the summer, though the luea-

The First,Assembly of God had
its humble beginning much the
same as her other sister churches
did over (ho state and country. It
might be said that the pattern fal-
lowed by one was the pattern for
all. v .
As the wind carries the winged
seeds from a pine cone high in a
lonely pine tree and scatters them
over a barren land-side to produce
a future forelt, so God has used
single hearts and consecrated indi-
viduals to bring His message of
Pentecostal glory into communities
and produce thriving Assembly of
God churches.
The present First Assembly of
God, located at the eastern city
limits of Gladewater on the Long-
view highway, was begun as the
reeuits of the efforts of Mr. and
Mrs. M. L. (Babe) Smith who came
to the Clarksville community from
Holiday, Texas, in 193* whem
there was not too much difference
In the sizes of Clarksville and
Gladewater. Mr. and Mrs Smith
owned a barbershop while Mrs.
Smith’s father, I. J. Fuller, owned
and oDerated a nrosDerous hoard-
ing hrow ,n«»r the present site of
the F. W. Clements’ hom*.
Cottage prayer-meetings were
held from home to home and from
these prayer-meetings revival fires
began to burn in their hearts and
they erected one of the then-fash-
ionabl brush-arbors across what is
now tile ‘old highway’ from the
present site of the George W.
Clark home. The arbor was erected
in the spring of 1932 for the first
Full Gospel revival of its kind in
this area
The revival was conducted by
the Rev. J. W McCoy, then nastor
of the Assembly of God in Tvler
which was nfrest Assembly
Church. Helping him were the
Forfenbprrv sisters. Alfa and Vave
The i>nrle of the Fortenberry
stsfers Rev. Will ■’ortenherrv was
darted as the first pastor of this
lion was moved
juncture of the
ways. Then in *m IoL ^ ______
year. IK. Grandmother Maggies
donated the lot on which the
church sits at toe premat and the
church was built as the Clarks-
ville Assembly of God.
Mr. an* Mrs. M. L. Smith. Mr.
and Mrs. R. Reynolds and Mrs.
Alvie were names appearing on
the first roster roll. Thus from
this small beginning, the Clarks-
ville Assembly of God, since
changed to the name of First As-
sembly of God of Gladewater, has
progressed through the years to
make her mark for God in this
and surrounding communities.
Truly the barren land-side has be-
come a veritable forest for God. |
In this season of the year when
we become church conscious, the
First Assembly of God extends a'
warm and heartfelt welcome to all
who desire to worship God and
keep what Christendom commem-
orates as the birthday of our Lord
lesus Christ, the Son of God.
In our various groups and de-
partments we fell s"re that every-
one of every age will find a place
to worship and work for God.
Our Sunday School, under the
“hie leader-hip of such officers as
Mrs. C D. Dennis, superintendent:
K. R Dutv, assistant superintend-
ent; Miss Vada Shott, secretary and

Through ineir support and giving,

the national Speed-ihe-Light pro-

700 missionaries in 52 countries of
the world are supplied with such
needs as radios, phonographs, air-
planes, trucks, Jeeps, motorcycles,
etc., to help speed the Gospel of
God to the world quickly, believ-
ing that the coming of the Lord is
at hand and that we must, "work
while it is yet day, for the night
someth when no man can work.”
A very stimulating and spiritual
environment for young people who
love to serve God.
The Woolen's Missionary Coun-
cil, served by Mrs. D. E. Weaver,
president; Mrs. T. C. Gardner,
