HATHAWAY

REPORTS From Congressman William D. Hathaway

The unusually thick blanketof snow which has accumulated in the fields and forests of New England this winter has provided memorable days of sport to skiers, snowmobile owners and other winter sports enthusiasts.

Now, as spring draws near, the snows pose a disturbing threat of floods. A sudden and lengthy rise in temperature or heavy rainfall in the next few weeks could spell disaster.

Responding to appeals from the Governors and municipal offi­cials in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and Civil Defense Agency ha:ve joined forces in a coordinated effort to meet the threat of floods across the northern half of the nation. "Opera­tion Foresight", as their effort is known, was organized in response to President Nixon's orders , and Federal, state and local officials are now at work identifying potential trouble spots and preparing for any emergencies.

So far, the Corps of engineers has obligated more than $2 million to meet the flood emergency, and experienced flood­fighters of the Corps have been deployed to threatened areas. State and County Civil Defense units are girding themselves to meet whatever emergency needs may arise, an activity in which they have distinguished themselves in the past.

In New England, potentially hazardous situat ions have been identified in 22 communities or lowland areas and checked by the engineers. Dams are being inspected and where necessary will be shored up to meet the heavy demands which may be made of them. Everything possible will be done to manage what at best will be a heavyrunoffofsnowmeltandcould possibly reach flood proportions.

The coming of Spring with its lengthening days and warming sun is a time of joy. This year, it will also be a time of high drama.

Let us hope that winter will take a reluctant leave, permitting a gradual runoff of snowmelt, and that no serious emergency will develop. But we will do well to heed the advice and cooper­ate fully with those who are preparing for the worst, and be grateful for the efforts of Civil Defense and Corps of Engin~ eers personnel who will spend long hours to protect our property and lives .

WITNESSES TO HOLD ASSEMBLY AT MILO TOWN HALL Headliner for the circuit assembly of Jehovah's witnesses in·

the Milo Town Hall this weekend will be " 'Share in the Most Urgent Work' of conducting home Bible studies with interested families."

How are interested persons found? By calling from door to door and offering free home Bible s tudies . Taking their minis ­try into private homes has been the hallmark of Jehovah's wit­nesses since Jesus used the me thod nineteen centuries ago. Statistics from the 1969 Yearbook of J ehovah's Witnesses prove its effectiveness.

Last year, world-wide , Jehovah's witnesses conducted more than 900 thousand Bible studies weekly in private homes. This disciple-making work resulted in 82,842 individuals being bap­tized and beginning the search for still other interested people. Of the 300 thousand studies reported in the United States, 384

·were conducte,d by the Witnesses in central and northern Maine . Experiences related in the Yearbook show that these studies

were conducted by Witnesses of a wide range of ages: s mall children to the aged. Even so , not a ll the 1-1/4 million Wit· nesses are sharing in this vital work.

The Saturday nightprogram at the Milo assembly is designed JJ encourage each Witness to have a part i n Bible study activity.

THE TOWN CRIER March 27 , 1969 ·-----------------

By Pastor Carlton Cockey

HUMILITY IN THE TEACHING OF ,JESUS We have seen humility in the life of Christ, as he laid open

his heart to us: let us listen to his teaching. There we shall hear how he speaks of humility, and how far he expects men, and specially his disciples, to be humble as he was . We can study various passages dealing with humility but often just quot­ingwe will receive the full impression of bow often Jesus ea:~n­estly taught humility. In the commencement of hjs ministry, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught humility as he taught the Beatitudes.

The very first words of his proclamation of the kingdom of heaven reveal the open gate through which alone ,we E-nter. "Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their's is the kingdom of heaven." (Mt. 5:3). The poor, who have nothing in themselves; to them the kingdom comes. To the meek, who seek nothing in themselves, the eal'th shall be theirs. The blessings of hec.•.ven and earth are for the lowly . For the heavenly and the ear thly life, humility is the secret of eternal blessing.

Jesus tells us what the Spirit both is, which we shall find in him as Teacher, and which we can learn and receive from h:.m. He offers meekness and lowlinens and in them we find the per-· feet rest of life. "Take my yoke lponyou, and learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly in heart: a.1d ye shall find rest.unto your souls' ' (Mt. 11:29).

The natural man wants to be noticed. The disciples also wHnt­ed to be noticed and on one occasion were discussing who shmlld be greatest in the kingdom. T hey could only agree to ask their Master. "And Jesus called a little ~~hild •.. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Mt. 18: 2,4).

Onanothe1· occasion the sons of Zebedee had asked to be sea ted on the right and left hand. of the throne of Christ. They -....var..ted the highest place in the kingdom. Again Jesus brought forth a child to teach them. Their thought could only be for the cup 'lnd the baptism of humiliation. Humility in this life will be the sta;ud­ard of gJo;:y in God's kingdom.

Even at the table of the Lord there was strife amongst the discjples , Luk: 22:24-27 . Verse 26 says. "Bl!t ye sl->Rll not be so: but he that 1s greatest r-.mong you , let him be as the young ­er ;. and he that is chief, iS he that doth sel've." The path in 1 which Jesus walked, and \\ 'hich he opened up for us, the power and spirit m which he wrought out salvation, and to which .he saves us, is ever the himility that makes us willing to be se ;~­vant of all. The character ·)fa faithful servant implies a devo­tion to the interest of the master, a desire to please and a d<~ ­light in his porsperity and happiness . As a servant of God •,ue shoul~ glo~y in our low csta.te --his servia~~ is our highest libertJ'· . Donottlunkthat th7 humilityofChrist in us will rob us of that which i~, _noblc and manly. ~'o become as a servant is to displ2.y the nobl.l~tyofheaven. Tbis .1s the same roya l spirit the King rlf heaven displayed as he taught his followers on earth.

The final result of the tEaching of Jesus on humility and his humble life is, '' . .. all po•.ver is given unto me in heaven and in earth, (Mt. 28:18).

1.Ebitorially t;prnkitl!l Much criticism as well as misfortune has been heaped upon the

heads of M. :? .• A. D. #41 this winter. There are many pros and cons to any :;;ubject but I think everyone would agree that the mainobjectofeducation is to turn out quality human beings and in our opinion this system turns out the best.

For our te·~nagers this is a year of firsts, something that is not always easily handled; Our highschool student are combined from two rival high schools for the first time. It is their firs t year in a new building. All student activities have had to be re­organized . They have done all this with a minimum of friction. They formed a new basketball team and made it into the tourn­ament in their first year. They picked up the sportsmanship award for their class at the same ti~e. This is most s ignificant to both the students and the fans.

Justrecently, as the result of the Middle School fire in Milo, they have be,en re-organized once again. Being the fine human beings that they are , an upheaval bas been accomplished with a minimum c·f difficulty. The rest of this year will not b~ easy but we believn that true education will not suffer due to the fine spiritofthe s·tudents, facultyandadministrationof this district.

It was with J6reat satisfaction ~t we read this week of the s tand takenb~r SenatorMarg,:1.retCbase Smith when she express­ed her diffeJ:ences with Presi:ient Nixon over the ABM system he proposes . She fee ls, as we do, that it would be foolish to spend this a mount of money on a s;f~tem which experts say will be obsolete before itcanbe built. She~~xpressed the opinion that the threat to this country is less from w.i ._thout than from within. With this view we heartily agree. Hopefu.'ly she is in a position to do sometthing concrete about the ABM 1~~om her position on the important Armed Services Committee. This money could be spent to so much better purpose in relie~·"tng some of the pressing d•>mes tic needs of our country which wo~ •lld in turn re-move man)' of the causes of unrest at home. '

If you want to live in the kind of a Town Like the kind of a town you like,

You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And go on a long, long, hike.

You'll only find what you left behind For there's nothing that's really new;

It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town It isn't the town, IT'S YOU.

Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead:

When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead.

And if you make your personal stake, Your neighbor can make one, too:

Your town will be what you want it to be; It isn't your town -it's you.

BEST SPELLERS Cont'd from Page 14

Before a small audience in the Team Teaching Room of Pen­quis Valley High School , spellers from MSAD #41 sixth, sev­enth, and eighth grades competed for the title of district spelling champion, and the opportunity to enter the county spelling con­test.

The pronouncer for the ''bee", Mrs. Helen Car ey, and the judges, Mrs. Madeline Decker, Mrs. Thelma Carver, and Mr. Gilbert Cole, were able to decide who would hold the title of District speller in less than a half-hour of fast and serious spelling. Kathy Rhoda of Milo earned the honor by finally de­feating second place winner Jennifer Watson, also of Milo. Third place went to Debra Bryant of Brownville.

Other contestants and alternates who won places to enter the County Bee were George Brewer, Karen Han~on, .and Bonney McLaughlin. Other participants of the District Spelling Bee were as follows: Susan Stickney; Chris Russell, Margaret Du­plisea,·Ann Sawyer , Barrett (]raves, Jonathan Cockey, Steven Bunker, and Stephen Zimmerman.

A fine performance by the spellers was accented by two folk song selections s ung by the trio that included Cindy and Holly Schumpert and Susan Stickney.
