One Great Hour of Sharing
One Great Hour of Sharing, 11 a.m. Sunday, Mar. Sth.
A time when Christians of evoy persuasion and label unite in seek¬ ing to answer the questton, 'Tn whaty way can I be of help to my fellow men? What should I do?"
The answer is in the Bible; Isaiah 58:7.
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and to bring the homeless poor into your house . . . when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?"
At this time ... on this hour — a special offering for the poor and homeless, the naked and diseased wkill be received at the United Church «rf Christ In Huntley. The concern of the community is so- lidated.
"Inasmuch m ye Inve done It unto the least of these by breth- em, ye have done it unto me." Jeeua Christ.
Wasserstrass Displays Pencils at Heinemanns
Old you know the average 7" pen/ cil is alleed to bs capable of draw¬ ing a line 35 miles long? If this is true, then I have enough whiting instruments to make a line 210,000 mis. long. Since starting my collec- eion about seven ears ago, I have accumulated over 6,500 writing In¬ struments. In my collection I have wooden penciles, ball points, mech¬ anical pencils, bullets, carpenter, Jumbow's and novelties. Many Stat¬ es in the Union are represented in the advertising nolveltles. They come in all colors of the rainbow and carry innumerable slogans and gimics. Several are called headaeke pencils and contain aspirin tab¬ lets. Two contain uranium ore, one has grass seed, some have chicken feed. There are some shaped like spikes and others like soil pipe and numerous others with objects In¬ side. Ons with a Cross, containing the Lords Prayer ^hen obaerved through a small opening In the iett ef tha |Mn.
Many   ef  the   pencils  ar«   left handed ones. To tell the differsncf.
pick up an advertlcement In your right band and you wlll find In most cases the ad can be plainly read, but when the same pencil Is placed in the left hand the ad will be upside down. A left handed pen¬ cil can be read when held In the left hand. J received a lot of my pencils from friends and relltives and other through "The Pencil Collector Society" which now num¬ bers .close to 400 members, and also the "Pencil Collector Magaz¬ ine" ehrough which a short time ago I wak able to trade 20 pencils with a collector in the Philippines. In the display at Heinemans store there are about 2,200 pens A pencils from my collection plus about 100 of Dave Oldham's collect¬ ion. Although he has been colleot- ing less then a year, his collection now numbers around 1,00a I have spent many hours on my hobble and plan to keep right.on building it larger. Hobbles are great fun and relaxing. Everyone should have a hobble. Why not start one today. Irv Wasaaratrass
