The congregation, under the
eldership of Jess Green, Clif-
ford Neal and George Patter,
has a fine record of mission
work, both locally and abroad.
They have also been active in
benevolent work, including gen-
erous support of the Turley
Children’s Home.
Jack Veteto, an employee at
Public Service Company, has
been preaching at Prattville the
past four years and at his en-

The Prattville congregation,
located just across the river

after the arrival of their new
minister to help them make the
transition.
"We cannot express our ap-
preciation enough for the fine
work Jack has done here, de-
spite the fact his time was limit-
ed by his secular work,” com-
mented Neal, "We feel his ef-
forts has made it possible for us
to employ a full-time man well
ahead of schedule."
With the Prattville area grow-
ing there are wonderful oppor-

addition to the work-
ing staff the church there
should certainly have a bright
future. '
HOLDENVILLE, Okla. — On
December 29 a group of high
school and college age young
people made a tour <rf the Tulsa
area with their minister, John
Hall.
The group visited the Turley
Children’s Home and visit-
ed with the Home children who
were out of school for the
Christmas holidays. 'Wien they
drove to Claremore to visit the
Will Rogers Memorial.
That evening they met with
other young people of the Tulsa
area for a skating party at the
Continental Roller Skating Rink
Which had been reserved for the
evening. They drove the

people throughout Oklahoma,
northern Texas and Southern
Kansas an opportunity to be-
come a part of the college.
Over $M00M
The Oklahoma City physician
and veteran campaigner said
the drive has reached near the
$630,000 mark with less than
1,500 persons contributing. This,
he declared, is compared to
over 5,000 who gave to the col-
lege in its last expansion ef-
forts.
The success of the college, he
added, is dependent upon the
participation of Christian fami-
lies who*are being served by it.
Oklahoma Christian College,
Owens said, has been success-
ful because of the wide base
of support given it.
District chairmen present at
the board meeting made indivi-
dual reports on their districts
and pledged their efforts toward
a widening of the base of con-
tributions in the current cam-
paign.
Alumni Giving
At the same time it was re-
ported the Oklahoma Christian
College alumni had contributed
in excess, of $18,000 to the drive
with exceptionally good response
coming from the four-y ear
graduates who’ve received de-
gree® since OOC became a sen-
ior college.
Dr. Owenis said emphasis will
also be placed on getting great-
er commitment from people to
work toward reaching the goal

tian family within the region is
given the opportunity to support

Mrs. Hill. "We tried also to ex-
press our appreciation to all
those who helped finance the
project by advertising in our
yellow pages in the cookbook
by giving them a complimen-
tary copy. But the success of
Sugar ’N Spice is due, of course,
primarily to the interest shown
by the people of the area in
buying our book. To each of
them we would like to express
our appreciation.”
There are still a few copie*

these are gone there are no

TULSA, Okla. — "Our Sugar
’N Spice is selling like hot
cakes!” was the comment we
got when we contacted Belva
Hill, president of the Tulsa OCC
’Stepping Stones’, to, see how
their hew cookbook was fairing.
The book, a collection of over
600 of the favorite recipes of the
ladies in the Tulsa area, went
on sale the first week in De-
__________..______cember 1964 and before the end
on a full-time basis*. Veteto wiil lof the month practically all of
the 1,500 copies that were print-
ed had been sold. The timing of
the publication was perfect as
many bought two and three
copies to give as Christmas
gifts.
When all the books are sold,
at $2.50 a copy, the project
should net close to $2,000. for
this Tulsa organization of ladies.
This money will be used to fur-
nish the lounge of the new
men’s dormitory at Oklahoma
Christian College in Oklahoma
City. -

Brother and Sister Calvin White from Springdale,
Arkansas have been hired, to serve as house parents
in the new unit'that will be completed sometime in <
the early spring. They moved to Tulsa week-before-
last and will be working as substitute house parents
until the new cottage is completed.
With six units it is nearly a full time job to take
the places of the regular house parents when they
take their days off. Each house parent has three full
days and nights off each month. With six units this
calls for someone to serve 18 days a month. As it
was getting harder and harder to fill this time with
volunteers we thought it wise to have the White’s
move to Tulsa and help us in this way until they
move into the new unit.
Arrangements have already been made for an-
other couple to move to Tulsa to work as substitute
house parents when the Whites move into the new
cottage as regular parents to the children.
Brother and Sister White come to us with the very
highest of recommendation. Brother White was a
deacon in the church at Springdale and his wife is a
registered nurse. She attended church at Tenth and
Rockford when I was preaching there in 1952 through
1955. Anne was taking her nurses’ training at Hill-
crest at that time. With their fine Christian back-
ground and Anne's training in nursing we feel that
we are most fortunate to have them with us at the
Turley Children’s Home.
We had the best year at the Turley Home that
we have ever had. ■ We cared for more children, made
a greater spiritual growth and had a larger income
than we have ever had. For all of this we are most
grateful. With even a greater number of children in
1965 we are looking forward to a much greater work.
Our prayers are that we will get to build another
unit, which would make eight, and also that the
multi-purpose building will be built or at least that
we will have the assurance of it.

BOMB COMICS. When an in-
surance executive on an air-
liner was requested to put his
attache case under his seat, he
smiled and replied, "Okay, but
its got a bomb inside.” On
landing he was arrested and his
joke eventually coot him $100.
A similar joke by a space engi-
neer drew a $500 fine and a six
mouth's suspended sentence.
The airlines and the Justice De-
partment are in dead earnest
about the safety of the airliner*
and their passengers.
And yet how many jokester*
there are who, perhap* good-
naturedly, poke fun at belief in
God and reverence of the Bible
as a rule of life.
