1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS ^Til Friday, August 16, 1935 MINISTER'S COLUMN Before recording t h e outcome of the hall game between the Eries and the Iroquois Indians in 1656, played where the city of Buffalo now stands, I shall in consideration of the reader and those who love Indian lore give a brief description of how the Indian game of ball was played. Later I shall describe Fort Island in t h e Coplay Swamp, the place to which cur story is leading. The Indian's game of ball was their cne great sport, It was played by all tribes. To the red savage the game was an attractive and popular as our American ame of baseball is today. A large level tract of land free of growth cf any kind was the most desirable. Five, ten to one hundred, or more athletes could play on each side. Two goal posts were a r ranged opposite each other, fifty, one hundred to four hundred yards apart, distance contingent on t h e number to play the game. T h e bats used were much similar to the tennis racket, only smaller and with a. longer handle. The ball was made of hair and covered with deer skin. The object of the game was to keep the ball in the air, not touching with hands, and to bat it under the goal rail of the opposing team, i t must have been very thrilling to witness two h u n dred athletic Indians, arranged systematically, intermining, led and RTRTP c., c h u r c h BIBLE SCHOOL MORNING W O R S H I P ORCHESTRA P R A C T I C E CHOIR P R A C T I C E VADIES G U I L D STOW, OHIO No. 33 criss-crossed, spread o u t over a great field, foe and f r i e n d, f r i e n d and foe.

All small children are most welcome and will be well taken care of during church services. INDIANS Rev. Hulme is an authority on Indians. Did ycu read his article last week It is the first of a series of four. It represents some original work and tells us some things that have never teen published before. Indian lore is one of our minister's hobbies. Read the minister's column. MUSICAL Last Sunday's musical was a success. However with the twentylive or six musicians who took part we should have had a larger crowd. Mr. Kurinsky deserves much credit for the way his pupils performed and also because of the fact that he himself was working under a strain. He has just recently lost his father and it is difficult for one under those circumstances to put his whole heart into such a work. Our next musical will be held the second Sunday evening in September. and will be equal in quality and interest to past performances. NOTICE Everybody please pamper your flowers and vegetables till August 28th, then bring them to the Flower Show at the High school auditorium. Mary Olson, general chairman.

An important event taking place daring this visit was the seventyninth birthday of Mr. Wm. Carlisle, which was celebrated with a birthday party. A big cake with seventy-nine candles was in evidence at this celebration and attracted much attention. Mr. L. G. Phelps is taking a three weeks trip through the west. ITe has kindly consented to keep us tnfcrmed regarding his travels, and the following interesting letter is the first installment. Salt Lake City, Utah Aug. 8, 1935 Dear Mr. Stockman: I will give you a brw resume of cur expedition to date which you»nay be able to untangle and arrange into a column. We have had a very delightful trip so far as everything west of Indianapolis has been over roads new to us and there have been plenty of interesting sights all along the way. We stopped a while in Springfield, Illinois, saw Atiraham Lincoln's old home there which he occupied from Crossed the Mississippi river at Hannibal, Mo., observed soon after that the farm crops in Missouri looked very poor, due we were told to a late wet spring followed by unusually dry weather. Saw & marker on a street in Hannibal identifying the spot where the house stood that was tbe home of Hack Finn, in Mark Twain's books. Cros ed the Missouri river at St. Joseph. Things look bad for the farmers is Kansas also, as it has been very dry there. The western part of Kansas was very dusty, so dusty in fact that the sun was obscured for about three hours. It was very disagreeable driving through here and was as near to a dust storm as I would care to see. We reached Colorado Springs about noon Monday. This place is one of the greatest tourist centers in the U. S. About 90 miles from Colorado Springs, we got our first glimpse of Pike's Peak. Stopped at Ripley's scenic tower from which 6 states oan be seen. We drove up Pike's Peak Monday afternoon, took about 3 hours to reach the top, stopped several times for water and to let the engine cool down. The elevation at the bottom is about 6500 feet and 14,109 at the top. T'he road is 18 miles long from the entrance to the top. That was the toughest 36 miles I INSURANCE OF ALL KINDS OAKLEY SPAGHT & SON STOW

There are so many good reasons, let us show you. MUNROE FALLS GARAGE WA ever drove, but it was certainly worth it. The motor loses its efficiency at the higher altitudes which makes the going all the harder. The passengers do too for that matter, we were rather dizzy when we got out of the car at the top. One woman we saw passed cut, she revived later on however. It was very cool at the top, we had to put our coats on. Several tmall lakes could be seen from the peak, lying at about 9,000 or 10,000 leet elevation, fed largely by melting snow and ice. The timber line reaches about 12,000 feet Crass, weeds, flowers, etc. to about 13,000 feet and the balance loose reek of all sizes and shapes. I used ten gallon of gasoline making the 36 mile trip up Pike's leak, we visited the Garden of the Gods and the cliff Dwellings, Tuesday, then headed north through Denver, Este s Park and Rocky Mt. National Park. Drove the sky Ride road through Rocky HAVE YOU TRIED Mt. Park. This highway runs at the highest elevation of any in the world, for several miles the elevation is around 12,000 feet. There was considerable snow ly- < ing in the gulleys and sheltered places near the top of the peaks. The highway leads up at an easy grade, which can practically all 'be made in high gear. One could spend a long time in this part of Colorado, always finding something of interest. I make no apology for thi s description, as no writer, regardless of his ability could properly describe these marvels of nature. This is Friday morning I am finishing this document, we are going out on the Great Salt Desert, presently and look around a little and then head for Yellowstone Park. We have taken some very fine pictures which I hope turn out O. K. Hope all the folks back home feel as well as we do.
