SERMONETTE
REV. ROBERT II HARPER
LAID OFF
ECENTLV. a friend with
^ whom I was driving picked
jp a man who was going with us
rfbout thirty miles to an island off
die Gulf coast. The man got out
«t a floating oil rig which the man
.'ailed a ship When we returned,
die man was waiting for us with
ais bag of belongings A number
■>* other men were leaving the
ship. “They've laid me off.” the
man told us. Thus I had the first
look at the recession we have been
hearing and reading about.
If I could write anything useful
about the recession, I would. In
spite of all the wise statements
made about it, what to do about it
does not seem crystal clear.
This much we can learn—there
need never be a recession in the
work of God. You will never be
laid off. there will always be a
place for you if you would con
tinue in the Lord's service. And
short of unconsciousness, a good
person can accomplish something
for his fellows. A young veteran
has survived the trip from the
Orient, a number of operations
and hospital sojourns, but is still
confined on a wheel chair. He will
never be able to walk. Yet he is
about the most cheerful fellow I
ever knew. In five years of ac
quaintance with him, I have never
heard him complain. He will never
be laid off as long as life shall
last. He teaches patience and
cheerfulness to all who know him.
Polio Clinic
A polio clinic for all adults
19 to 50 years of age will he
held May 12th from 7-9 P.
M. in the Sitka Health Cen
ter located above Sitka Print
ing.
This is jointly sponsored by
the local health department
and the National Infantile
Paralysis Foundation which
is supplying the vacine.
There will be no charge for
this service.
Fewer adults are hit by
Poliomyelitis, but they are
usually more severely handi
caped by the disease.
The polio shots are given
in a series of three and one
month from the date of the
first clinic a second clinic
will be held for the second
injection of the series. The
public wil be informed of
dates and times.

Mt. Edgecumhe Boarding
School is the scene of tre
mendous activity these days
as the students prepare for
the gigantic air lift that will
take them back to their
homes for the summer.
The Boy’s and Girls dor
iiiatories pictured here are'
receiving both their annual
spring cleaning and the spr
ing packing session that
sends the students packing
their extra gear for shipment
home. Cost wise the students
are advised to ship every
thing possible by parcel post
taking with them only neces
sary items in order to stay
v. it hi i the poundage limits
oi the airlines.
The annual f reek ol the
over 600 students from Mt.
Edgecmnbe to the many Ala
skan villages in the Terri
tory which they call home
constitutes a major airlift.
Airlines participating in
the project will he Alaska
(!oas I: al, Ell is, Pacific North
ern, Pair American & others.
No boats will be involved
this year.
The exodus will begin on
May 16th when Southeast
ern Alaska students will be
airlifted home. On the 17th
the young people will be
started through Juneau to
ward their homes in the in
terior at a pace consistent
with the ability of the air
lines involved to get them
there.
This year the schedule will
be so arranged in advance so
that whenever possible, stu
dents will arrive home the
same day they leave.
In other years bottle-necks
developed and students were
obliged to stay overnight in
areas not equipted to take
care of them. The plan this
year, with the airlines run
ning special flights, looks
much better.
In the fall the same sys
tem will be worked in re
verse to bring the young peo
ple back to their class
rooms.
