Mr. Curtwright sa id the bond elec­tion would requi re a two-thirds ma­jority for passage .

" It takes two yes votes for everyno for a bond issue , and that makes ittough. I do n't know if we can predictanythin g . We think we have a goodchance of it passing . but the twothirds makes it hard to do , and we'reaware of this ."

Cook Cook takes the cakeBy Clay F. RIchards

WAS HINGTON (UP!) - Whenhe was a youth in 1930 , as NelsonRockefeller'tell s the story , he wantedto furni sh his first home in expensiveAmeri can antiques, but his fathe rdidn ' t want to pay for them .

So, without identifying himself .the enterprising young Da rtmouthgraduate went door to door throughVermont and New Hamp shi re andbought the furnit ure from fann ersand townfolk at a price "he co uld af­ford .

" The re was an old house whereGeor ge Washington was supposed tohave sle pt in - one of those DutchColoni al houses - and my motherwas fixing it over and I was going tolive there when I got marr ied ," Mr .Rockefeller exp la ined to repo rtersduring a chat on Air Force II re­cently .

" So I said to my father . I wouldlike 10 get some antiq ues - pine andmaple - Early Ameri can . and hesaid it was too expe nsive, " the U.S ."vice president said .

His fathe r, John D. Rockefe ller ­Jr., said he would pay to furni sh thehou se in antiq ue reproductions. Th ehou se was on the famil y es ta te, Po­cant ico Hills , ove rlooki ng the Hud­son River al Tarrytown, N.Y.

.. I took th e blue pri nts of thehouse . I laid out the furniture in eachroom, 1 then took the price of thereprod uction and put it on each pieceand then I added it up for eac h roo m- the totals - then I went to myfather and said, ' If I could furnish thehouse within this total , will you leime have the money ?' .. Mr. Rocke­feller sa id. " So he said yes. "

" Then I spent my weekends thelast year at coll ege going around toold hou ses in Vermont , New Hamp­shire , in the attics and buying thesepieces , knoc king on doors ," be said."It was a little embarrassing."

" Did you tell them your name? "he was aske d .

.. No . I j ust knocked on the doorand said, ' Could I look"in your attic ?Ha ve yo u go t anyt hi ng in th ebam ?' .. he replied . "There were alot of nice people out there."

Mr. Rockefe ller said when he wasresea rching the project the books bythe expe rts said there was no suchthing as an Ea rly American pinegrandfather's clock.

" 1 found two ," he sa id. " One Ibought for $ 12 and one for $ 16. so I!tallydidpretty well.

PASADENA - "People are notgoing to travel far from home thisyear." Tha t' s the prediction of onenewspaper publisher representing asmall but popular resort town inSouthern Californ ia . Last year 2.2mill ion people spent recre ationaltime in this same area, including aMemorial Day crowd estimated at50.000.

Among fami ly breadw inner ssearching for recession -proof vaca­tions . proximity to home is bound tobe a majo r co nside ration . Statisticsreveal that , as family earnin gs in­crease, the range of vacations widensgeographically . The cost of suchvacatio ns obvious ly incre ases aswell.

For instance . the more eco n­omy- minded U.S . nomad can pull acam ping or tent trailer arou nd thecountryside for $ 15 a day, $100 aweek or $350 to S400 a month, with$75 to $ 100 rental paid in advance .

Or motor homes, such as vans orbus types 26 feet long , can be rentedfor $75 10 $85 a da y, or $350 a week .plus 12 cents a mile .

Thi s means a famil y of five willpay anywhere from $250 to $600 aweek in trave l expenses alone, de­pending upon the type of co nveyanceused and distance traveled .

In fact, Americans spend moredollars on trave l in a year' s time thanon any othe r budgeted items exceptfood . Tourism today is a $61billion -a-ye ar industry _By 1980 thatfigUre is expected to reach S 127 bil­lio n, in sp ite of rough times. U.S .trave l is 70 percen t by private auto­mobile , 27 .6 percent by com mercialair transportation , 1.5 percent by

. bus, 0.5 perce nt by passenger tra insand le ss than 1 pe rcen t by othermodes .

\ ~. Ameri cans travel ing mo re than~_:...- v ~ f.~ miles from home spend an aver­- :-- , '. _ioage of $82 per perso n-trip . Include

this figure in the preced ing rates oftravel with either camper trailers orvans and a fam ily of five will spendon the average a tota l of $4 10 for anytrip over 100 mile s.

Next to convention-bound trave l­ers who spend $ 138 per pe rson-trip ,vacationers spend $ 107 per"perso n­trip , about 50 percent mor e thanthose taking nonvacat ion trips. And,most impo rtant for Americans unab leto afford lavish vacatio ns this year ,those who visi t friends and relativesspend the leas t: S61 per person -trip.Th at means Ame rican s will be shar­ing more food and lodging costs ofvisiting relat ives on " vacation."

Facts Tell the Tale

By looking at the overal l picture ofU.S . travel, one can betterdetenninewhether vacation s are in this year orDOt, and , if so , which kind of vaca­tion is most feasib le . Whether a per­son dec ides to take a vacat ion de­pends upon its neces sity even moretha n its costs. According to theNe ws pape r Ad vertising Bureau.people who think vacations are anecess ity rather than a luxury ale theones most likely to travel.

Out of every dollar spent on travelin the United States, 36 .8 cent s goesfor ' tran sportation, 23 .1 cents forlodging, 21.4 cents for food , 15.6cents for incide nta ls and 3 .2 cent s forente rtainment and recreation .

How It Happened

Mr . Cow an sa id Mel and Ben yTu rne r, a min ister and wife also atthe college for a sabbatical, •'o rde redsome ticket s to go see the show livewhile it was being taped and theyordered some tickets for us also ."

At the stud io, those in the audie ncewere asked if they would like to be

interviewed for theprogram.That was in Apri l." The re were abo ut 660 peo ple in

the audie nce tha i day," Me. Cow ansaid . •, and aooul500 to 550 pro bablyfilled out cards to be inte rv iewed . Inbetween the sho ws they inte rviewedevervone in the audience that wantedto ~ intervi ewed. but it was veryshort - about a minute pe r perso n."

At the end of the progr am abo ut 50names were ca lled o ut. Tho se per­sons we re given writ ten tests

" They sa id if yo u couldn' t answerthe questions o n the te s ts . yo uwou ldn' t do ve ry well on tele visionunder pre ssur e . " he stated. Thatweeded out several and tho se thatpassed we re given an appo intment toreport back for another interviewwhich was " sort of a screen test. "

How It Works

Gambit is based on the card gameblackjack, or twe nty-o ne , in whic hthe objec t is to get ca rds whose valuemost clo se ly approaches 21.

Two co uples play the game . Ques ­tions are aske d , and the co uple thatpresses a buzze r first gets to answer aqu estio n. If that co uple answe rs cor­rectl y , it ge ts control of a card thathas the same point value it wou ldhave in bla ckjack . Without its pointvalue being know n. a card is eitheraccepted or passed to (he other co u­ple.

" The o nly card yo u see is the firstcard in the ga me," Mrs. Cowan said ." The othe r canis stay face down.'

New deck's are supplied everymatch of three ga mes , and after eachma tc h contestants go to the "Gambi tBoard. " Cont es tants go to the boardwhen the y w in two out of thr eegames in a matc h .

emcee of the show , W ink Martin­. dale .

" He' s a very fine fello w , verylikab le , very affable , real friend ly .In between the break s when we werewinning, or during commercials. hewou ld always come ove r and shakeour hand s and talk to us and congratu­late us. I co uld tell he was pleased .We were winni ng and he seemed tobe very happy about it ."

Mr s . Cowa n agreed ." He was a very sincere perso n; he

'What Church?'

O n the first sho w Mr . Martin da le,whil e in tr oducin g Me. Cowan ,not iced his introduction card said hewa s a mini ster.

" What c hurch?" he asked ." Wo rld wide Ch urch of God, "

Mr . Co wan sa id in his deep , resonantvo ice .

All shows fo r a week.are produ cedon th e same a fte rnoon . Duringbreak s betw een sho ws the Co wan shad to change clo thes to give the im­pression the shows had been filme don different days .

Mr . Cowan said the prizes will betreated as inco me for tax purposes .

"They will send me a W-2 form ,"he said . " The re's no specia l tax likea gift tax, luxury tax or some thinglike that. They'll be sending me aW~2 that will say the exa ct amountthat my winnings are to the penn y .That will go onto my income . So all Ido is pay straight inco me tax .

" I understand that I will be able toaverage my income over three to fiveyears, so that should save quite a biton taxe s ."

'M ixed Feelings'

Mr . Cowan still has " mixed feel ­ings" abo ut game sho ws.

" " 1don 't like to see peo ple just gobe rserk . On man y of th e ga meshow s they pick people that a rehighly vo lat ile and emotiona l andthey scream and shout - just ge l soexcited abo ut winning a caro r losing- they 'll cry and break down orsomething like that.

" We were excited and very thank­ful that God was blessing us , but Ido n', think we everlos t con trol of ourfeel ings or emotions or any thing: likethat . Many times the sho ws will try tobring [his so rt of thing o ut. The pro­duce r actuall y talked 10 us. to all theco nte stan ts that were the re , abo ut itbefo re-we went on camera and said hedidn ' t like this . .. He sa id, to him ,people are just ma king idiots out ofthemselves . He didn't like it and hedidn 't want anyone to react like that. "

A STORY FOR CHILDRENBy Shirley King Johnson

.lMIN .lHOnS13TWIN TROUBLE

First 'sa b r a '

baptized

in IsraelBy Ch risto pher J . .Pa tton

JER USAL EM - Nea r the end of~ his recent trip to Israel, Gam er Ted

--- -·-__""'t\rmstrong baptized Edi th Pla ta u.23:~of Ghat, a kibbutz . Miss Platauis the first"sabra (na tive israeli ) to be

4 baptized in Israel during this age ofGoo's Church.. Her pare nts. Avrah am and Ruth

Plat au, came separ ate ly to Israelfrom Germany in 1934 . T hey meland marri ed al Kfar Rupin , anot herkibbutz , in the Jordan Va lley. In1944 1hey mo ved 10 Ge var.j ust northof Megi ddo and southwest of Naza ­reth .

Miss Platau has two bro thers.Amo s and NiT. Amo s was born atKf a r Rupin . Mi ss Plat a u and Nirwere born in Gcvat .

Miss Pla rau"s life has been typic alof a kibb utznik . She grew up inchildren's houses in which boys andgirls of abou t the same age eat , playand sleep together , only seeing thei rparent s for several hours a day in theafternoon s,

At 18 she e ntered the ann y andwas stationed in Beersheba .

Released in August, 1971, she re­turned to kibbut z life.

Until his acciden tal death a yearago , Miss Platau' s fathe r was direc­tor of Gevat' s voluntee rs. One ofthose voluntee rs introduced Mis sPlatau to the Work through long talksand literature . Eventuallyher interestled to contact with Richard Frankel ,then manager of the Work' s officehere , in the summer of 1974 .

For Miss Plata u, that first talk withone of God' s ministers proved to bean " eye-opening experien ce" thatquickly led to further growth .

Her greate st obstacle has been lan­guage . Althou gh she studied Englishin school, she knows only the fun­damentals . She has litera lly spenthours on a single page of the Corre­spo nde nce Co urse . Bible andHebrew-English dict ionary in hand .She plans to improve her English andpick up secretarial skills .during thecomin g yea r to prepare to attendAmbassador College, whieh shehopes to do beginning in the fall of1976.

"I wish you'd keep your rock col lec­tion in the basement," I said. " It' s mak­ing our room a mess."

Poking her finger s through a small boxof co llected stones, Jill did not even both­e r to look up as she replied, ' 'I' ll straight ·en up late r." She dum ped out the rocks onthe top of the dresse r that we sha re.

" Do you have your poem memorizedfo r tom or ro w' s sc hool p ro gram? " 1asked . 1 knew she didn 't. She puts offeveryth ing to the last pos sibl e minute .

" I don 't have one picked out yet ," Jillreplied absently .

"Honestly!" 1scolded. I walked out ofthe room and quietly descended the 'stairsto the kitchen. It isn't easy to be 12 yearsold and have a twin. Everybody says Jilland 1 look as alike as two raindrops, butthe similarity stops there . She' s an awfultomboy; she plays ball with the boys in theneighborbood and she's a one-man hu­mane society, rescuing cats from trees andreturnin g stray dogs to the ir owners. Shedoesn' t mind how tangled her hair looksor how wrinkled her blou ses are or howfaded her jean s get. The trouble is, thewhole word think s , There goes JanetEvan s, untidy as ever. But it' s Jill they seeand I'm getting her awful reputation.

" Will you set the table , Janet?" Moth ­er asked as 1entered the kitchen . She wasstarting supper.

" Yes, Mam a. May we use the newplates?"

Mother smiled . " I think we 'll savethem for the Sabbath . Then they 'll be spe­cial . Do you like the new dishes?"

"Oh, yes, they're so refined . And cul­rural . " I added this as Jill clattered downthe stairs and burst into the kitchen .

" Don' t put on a plate for me ," shechirruped . " Barb want s me to go on apicnic with her family : '

Mother turned from the stove. " Butsurely Janet was asked to go too?"

" Nope." She paused at the back door.I elev ated my nose . " Bartl and Jill

know ( loathe picn ics . The mosqu itoesand bugs are - ugh!"

" All right, Jill , but don 't be late, You

have that poem to memorize for the schoolprogram."

" Okay, Mom ." She hurried on out thedoo r.

Poem Finding

In the mornin g Jill finally came to hersenses .• •Jan. you 've got to he lp me find apoem ," she pleaded as we combed ourhair. " I don' t know any good poem s.What are you recitin g?"

" ' Little Orph ant Annie ,' by the well­known Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Ri­ley ," 1 replied . Opening my book , BestLoved Poems , 1 said: " Here. You mightdo ' T he M idn ight Ri de o f PaulRevere .' " I passed her the book with itope n at Iliat poem .

Jill gave a squeak . " It's a mile long ."" How about something from Mother

Goo se, then?" I asked sweetly ." Jan, please help me. Miss Anthony

said everybody ' s got to participate in theprogram. I wanted to be in Peggy's skit,hut I asked too late . She only needed threepeople ."

" I' m sorry , but you must learn to stopprocrastinatin g."

" Pro - wha t?"" Pun ing off what you should do the

minute it' s assig ned . Here. T urn back tomy poem and prompt me , will you? I'll goover the last verse one more time to makesure I have it right. "

Like a good scout, she let me show herthe place on the page and she sa id , " Goahead ."

" ' And little Orphant Annie says whenthe wind goes woo-oo . . . ' "

' ·W oo -oo-ew '" Jill said , making awindy sound .

.. " ,,:,nd yo u hear the cricke ts quit

"Crick! Crick !" said Jill . She ploppedon the bed beside me. " Jan, why don 'tyou have me be your sound effects? "

" Be what?"''I'll do your sound effects . Look at all

the places ( could jazz up this poem ." Sheran her finge r down the page . " Everyli me yo u say "gobble -un s ' I' ll say

' boo!' " She studie d the first verse a mo­ment. " You say, 'S hoo the chickens offthe porch,' and I'll go , ' Cluck!Cluck!' "

I have to admit that Jill does good irnita­tions. We went over the whole thing and Ideci ded to let her try it. It was kind ofunusual and it would be fun . "If we dothis, you've got to prom ise you won't putthings off any more . You ' ve got to re­form.'

" I prom ise I' ll do better."

Shrieking Aud ience

We didn ' t tell Mama what we'd cookedup beca use the pare nts were invi ted to theafternoon program and we wanted to sur­prise her .

She was surprised .The audience shrieked with laughter as

Jill' s sound effects came out from behindthe stage scenery near whe re I stoo d.Afte r I fin ished all the verses they burstinto applause.

Miss Anthony prese nted pape rbackbooks, gift wrapped, to the " most dese rv­ing" students . " Firs t place goes to PeggyNelson," she announced . " The originalskit she wrote was excellent. And theEvans twin s have seco nd and third places .Janet wins for her good memory workwith such a long poe m, and Jill was soorigina l with her sound effects ."

On the way home from the program inthe car . Jill and I unwrapped our books .The Hardy Boys Lost in the Al7Ulzons wasthe title of mine, and the co ver pictureshowed a snake curling on a vine abovetwo boys' heads . I closed my eye s andshudde red .

Jill moaned on the seat beside me ." Linda Lovely - Fashion Model , Howboring ." She saw the title of my book ," Wo uld you con sider trading ?"

"I certainly would ." We traded ."Well ," Mother said as she swung the

car into our driveway, · ' 1 wish Daddycould have been there . It was a very satis ­fying afternoon, was n't it, darlings?"

Jill gave me a happy glance . "Fun."I opened my new book to page I .

"Quite satisfactory," [ agreed.

Molnar said . .. Some of the stu­dents we re able to climb Mt. Popoca­tepetl, while others went to the bull­fights , some to the Ballet Folklo rico .

" It see ms that we were veryblessed this yea r on the senior trip . Inyears past there has been a great dealof sick ness because of the change offood , wa ter and cl imate and ju st thephysiological things that go alongwi th that. This year we had very litt lesick ness . I th ink there were o nlythree anoi ntings , which I fee l must besome type of Mexico City record .The weathe r was beauti ful and nearlyevery com ment that I hea rd about thetrip seeme d to be that it was ve ryenjoyable and that we cou ldn't havepicked a bette r site to have a senior­class outing l ikewe did ."

" It was a good experience for bot hstudents and members ; ' Mr . Molnarsaid . " It was good for the students tosing in Spani sh (no Eng lish book swere avai lab le), and since the Mex­ico City brethren haven't been meet­ing regularly I think they got a big liftout of it. Both parties seemed rejuve­nated afte r service s."

After church the loc al brethrenprepared and served a buffet lunchoutdoor s.

Mr . Molnar said Mexico C ity waschosen for this yea r's senior trip oversevera l other cho ices. "One reasonwe chose Mexico was the monetarycons ide ration, the fact that we co uldafford to go to Mexico rather thanseveral other places that were beingconsidered in the U.S.

" Secondly was ed ucatio nal valueof the trip . College of fic ials as wellas most of the stude nts fe lt that Mex i­co C ity provided a golde n op port u-

The reason for footdragging on the part of Belgium israther obvious, with the ve ry closetie s be twee n Belg ium and France andthe fact that nea rly half of the Bel­gian s speak the French languageflue ntly .

However . it is felt that all theseNATO countr ies will choose theF-16 over the French-bui lt Mirage I .It has been annou nced that this dec i­sion may be made pub lic followingprivate talks between Gera ld Fordand the prime mini ster of Belg ium.

New Fiscal Budget

In a dlvision-head mee ting just theothe r day in the boardroom on thecollege. cam pus here in Pasadena, Iwent ove r Ihe entire budget for the1975 ~76 fiscal year . As I have re­ite rated so man y times , we have ef·fected all the req uired bud getarysurgery necessary to brin g our cos tsdown with in o ur mean s . And . eventhough we have ho.d some negativetre nds from tim e to time in income .we hav e also had some ve ry POSITIVE

trends that ha ve largely offset thene ga tive ones . And all the main indi­cators are definitely up!

For example , last month theWork o f G od experienced thelargest inco me of an y other Aprilin history . April , 1975 . broke allin c om e record s for that month .Howev er, the property fund ha sfallen off again, and the se cond

. and third accounts are also downrather significancly, so that, eventhough income (that is. tithe s"andofferings of a ll the brethren , theco wo rke rs and the donors) wasdramatically up , the overall trendwas slightly negative for the year10 date .

.~v;n though we had I record ­:..breaking-month for April, May has

taken a seriou s downward trend, andthat one record- break ing month wasnot enou gh to offse t the negat ivetrend in the mo nth preced ing it o r forthe first thre e week s of May .

Whil e we were ve ry enc ouragedby all of the pos itive indi cator s , wemust never lose sight o f the fact thatthe re is a DAIL Y and WEEKL Y respon­sibi lity on all of us in a cont inuingse nse to suppo rt God 's Wor k asmuch as we poss ibly ca n!
