Youth Trio Due
At Local Church
For Special Week
A team of three teen-a-
gers, called Youth Caravan-
ers, will be the guests of
Immanuel Lutheran Church
next week. The three Car-
avaners are traveling for the
Walther League, Interna-
tional youth organization and
official youth program of the
Lutheran Church-Missouri
Synod.
The Caravan team is com-
posed of the following young
people: Marilyn Fritz, God-
frey, Illinois; John Wehrs-
pann, Brookfield, Wise.; and
Janet Swide, Allen Park,
Michigan. The team is de-
signed to assist local Lu-
theran congregations with
their youth program.
The Caravaners will as-
sist the youth in devotional
services, topic discussions,
service projects, recrea-
tional and fellowship ses-
sions. The five-point pro-
gram of the Walther Lea-
gue-Worship, Education,
Fellowship, Service, and Re-
creation will be explained
to the youth, their parents,
and counselors of Immanuel
Lutheran.
The three young people
coming to Mercedes repre-
sent a cross section of Lu-
theran teen-agers in the Un-
ited States and Canada. Each
of the 15 teams completed
an eleven-week correspon-
dence course in youth work.
Prior to beginning their
summer tour, they were
briefed in a six-day train-
ing session at Concordia
Senior College, Fort Wayne,
Indiana.
While the Caravaners are
guests of Immanuel Lutheran
Church, they will meet with
the young people each of
four nights, Aug. 21-24.
Members of the local Car-
avan Committee are Mary
Linda Hix, Nan Hix, Rich-
ard Herzog, Earl Neuhaus,
Ann Pemelton, and Fred
f i
JANET SWIDE

MARILYN FRITZ
Mrs. Earl Depue and two
children, Mary and Dusty,
returned recently from visi-
ting Mrs. H. E. Boyd of
Tynan, Texas. Mrs. Boyd
joined the group to go sight
seeing through “Six Flags
Over Texas*’, which they
said was very interesting.
Bengal Orders Due
At Registration
James Stephenson
Aboard U. S. Carrier
Home After 3 Years
James A. Stephenson, fire-
man, USN, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jim A. Stephenson of
Route 1, Mercedes, was ser-
ving aboard the heavy cruis-
er USS Saint Paul when she
returned to San Diego, Calif,
recently after three and
one-half years of service
with the Seventh Fleet in
the Western Pacific.
The ship arrived in the
U. S. from Yokosuka, Japan,
flying a homeward - bound
pennant 674 feet in length.
Because the Saint Paul was
homeported in the Far East
longer than any major com-
batant ship since before
World War II, this pennant
is one of the longest ever
flown.
The pennant, which mea-
sures one foot for every
man aboard who has served
more than nine months out-
side the U. S., was cut up
and distributed to the crew
upon arrival at San Diego.
The ship will now enter
the Long Beach Naval Ship-
yard for an overhaul and is
scheduled to return to duty as
a fleet flagship next spring.
The Mercedes High School
Bengal Staff will sell 1962-
63 bengal subscriptions dur-
ing high school registration

count, a deposit of $2.50
must be made.
Students are reminded to
be on hand for registration

ing to Principal N. K, Fitz-
gerald,

Puzzling Figures
Where you live may affect
your health. A recent Public
Health Service survey, for ex-

death rates vary sharply be-
tween cities. For white men,
the New Orleans rate is 100'/
above the national average;
Lima, Ohio is 60',4 below.

Lovest thou me? ....Feed
my sheep. (John 21:16)
We have eight small
grandchildren, and my hus-
band is a wonderful grand-
pa. About twice a month he
sends each child a picture
post card. When he goes to
see them, he takes them
presents—all alike.
After watching the rap-
turous greeting given him by
one of the grandchildren—
a bewitching little maid of
four, with big, blue eyes
and a mass of golden curls—
I laughingly taunted him that
she was his favorite.
“No,” he replied. “I love
them all alike, but she shows
her love for me more than
do the others.”
I feel sure that our Lord
loved allHls disciples equal-
ly, including Judas. Yet it
is said of John that he was
“the disciple whom Jesus
loved.” I wonder if it was
because John showed his love
to his Master more than the
others did.
God loves us all equally,
whatever the color of our
skin, whether we are sin-
ners or saints. But I think
it makes a difference in our
relation to Him when we love
Him and show our love.
PRAYER: O Lord, Thou
who dost love impartially
because Thou art divine, we
are grateful for Thy love

It’s old hat. The story about
the "typical” fisherman who
swings his fishing rod like a
sickle, mowing down those near
him and throwing lures all over
the north 40, yet catching bass,
It's old hat, and more often
than not false.
Ask anyone who consistently
catches bass, and he’ll like as
not tell you that the more im-
portant skill in his repertory
is accuracy, the ability to drop
a half-ounce lure on a target
no larger than a foot square
anywhere up to 50-60 feet away.
It hinges on the fact that an
old mosshaek bass is a mighty
particular animal. He’s not
smart, because his brain is only
a knot to hold his spinal cord
from unraveling. But he’s got
reflexes that Just won’t quit.
When a natural-looking lure
lands right In front of his nose,
as if it just fell out of the
tree thfptt shades him, floats
there until the ripples disappear
and then gives a lifelike twitch,'
the chances are good he'll
charge into it, madder than a
wet hen.
But splash around recklessly,
! cast amateurishly so the lure
! shoots high into the air and
I falls like a cannonball into the
| water, and you have one fright-
r oned bass on your hands,
No doubt this Is the reason
i why so many fishermen these
days are using light canoes or
cartop boats, powering them
' with a featherweight Merc 60
and gilding around as silently
as an Indian on the prowl,
j searching for bass In quiet little
coves and protected bays,
i It is in spots such as this
1 that accuracy pays off so well,
for it is there that an expert
fisherman can pin - point his
1 casts, dropping lures right next
, to a weed bed, just over a fallen
tree Into a calm spot, or next
. to a stump that could give
; cover to a lunker largemouth,
! Which Is old hat too, But
it works!
