To illustrate the importance of timely and accurate
communications as essential to public understanding of
a sifbjcst, J. i*/,. rutterion of the American Oil Company
said
'Robert Fulton was credited with running the first
orofitable steamship in 1807. But by 1807 James Rumsey
of Shepardstown, W. Va., had been running one on the
Potomac River for 13 years. However, it was without
benefit of the New York press enlisted by Fulton.
"lonofellow another professional communicator —
’•me .ii i Taut Revere’s midnight ride from Boston to
'f.’inJC" p' t 'mw rna .y people know the British inter
.unfed 1. enroute to Concord and that Paul had to walk
oil j Lexington? > The) Same night — Israel Bissell
started a four-day, six-hour ride from Watertown, Mass.,
to Philadelphia to fake news to the Continental Congress
fh it the war had started!
' A?* tudo surveys show most people think every
i ioo itigii. Bur we were surprised to learn that
foe public thought that when it comes to raising prices,
gasoline was second only to haircuts.
"Actually gasoline prices are at a 10-year low, but
direct gasoline taxes are at an all-time high. Taxes went
, i : r cent in the last 10 years. Direct taxes aione add
over '50 percent to reta l prices.
Todays gasoline is of much better quality, and does
'i> fK_-r cut.: more work at 24 per cent less cost than 30
years ago."
The foregoing shows the importance of continuous
communications in the right places and at the right times
ft the people are to be informed.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL. . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of char
acter and good citizenship. It is a
storehouse of spiritual values. With
out a strong Church, neither de
mocracy nor civilization can sur
vive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend
services regularly and support the
Church. They are: (I) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's
sake. (9) For the sake of his com
munity and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which
needs his moral and material sup
port. Flan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
