Joint venture

new readers of this newspaper and as much as $1,000 or
more m revenue for elementary teachers.
Forms containing subscription blanks were sent
home this week with all elementary children. For each
one returned with either a new or renewal subscrip-
tion, the homerooin teacher will receive $3 to use for
teaching aids and supplies for her room.
Subscription blanks should be returned to your
child s school by Monday, Oct. 3, and checks should be
made out to the Burleson Star.
Cost for a year’s subscription is $12.95. In the case of
renewals, a subscription will be extended for one year
past its expiration date.
Fund raising
Kick-off for the annual Pauline G. Hughes Middle
School school-wide fund-raising project began Friday,
Sept. 23 and will run through Tuesday, Oct. 4,1983. The
seventh and eighth graders will be selling Allegro Holi-
day Trimmings to support the 18-plus clubs, classes
and organizations in their numerous projects and ac-
tivities.
Decorations are $3.50 each or $12.75 for a set of four.
Two sets are available.
Special session
The Burleson City Council will meet in special ses-
sion tonight (Thursday) at 7:00 at city hall.
Four items of business are on the agenda, two of
them pertaining to fees. One ordinance will be amend-
ed to reflect changes in the plat filing fees and the other
ordinance will amend the Burleson Code of Ordinances
so that fee schedules are apart from the ordinances
themselves. In this way, an ordinance won’t have to be
amended every time a fee changes.
Still another ordinance on the agenda for tonight will
adopt regulations governing industrial wastes.
All three ordinances are three-reading ordinances
which will receive second readings at the meeting
The only other item on the agenda will be the con-
sideration of a letter to the Johnson County Commis-
sioners Court regarding improvements to County Road
600 (see separate story).
Tabloids due
A couple of special sections lie in the short range
future of the Burleson Star.
First will be an early bird Christmas Gift Guide con-
sisting strictly of advertising. That section will have
extended circulation in the Burleson, Joshua, and
Crowley areas to provide maximum saturation for
store specials.
Then will be a special section to go along with the
Homemakers School and Mini Home Show sponsored
by The Star on Nov. 10. The special section will come
out in the Monday edition, Nov. 7.
For more information on getting your advertisement
in either or both of these upcoming sections, contact
the Star's advertising department, 295-0486.

"These are exciting days to be alive. As
an adherent of Biblical Christianity, 1
see God moving amid world events. The
cataclysmic turmoil of our time In-
volves not only a great challenge, but
also a great opportunity for evangel-
ism, and as we go into the world we
must be both unquestionably rooted In
the unchanging gospel and realistical-
ly related to a changing world. We
must dare to demonstrate God's love-
in-action to a world searching for
lasting values."

A FEW FACTS ABOUT MICHAEL GOTT:
★ Michael Gott is a unique speaker! He
draws from his experiences of travel
within the Soviet Union to challenge
American people.
*• Michael Gott has spoken in churches,
high schools, and colleges from coast to
coast, often as many as three times a
week. He travels an estimated 100,000
miles annually on a global scale.

* Gott will speak boldly with first hand
authority. His words have a special force.
★ Few young men have had wider oppor-
tunity and experience in Christian
evangelism than Michael Gott. For the
past decade he has averaged speaking
nearly two times daily throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa. He
travels an estimated 100,000 miles annually for the purpose of communicating
the Christian message. He has lived in Great Britain and because of his con-
cern for Christ’s mission, continues to travel on a global scale.
★It has been noted that probably no person in the world of his age has traveled
more widely and spoken more often in the Soviet Union than Gott. He has
visited the USSR on four different occasions in the interest of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
★ He was involved in major world congresses on evangelism in the last decade.
These meetings were held for the purpose of uniting massive Christian witness
designed to mobilize millions of Christians around the world to share their faith
during the remainder of the century.
