BRANCH WORK IN
ARIZONA
Last Tuesday, August 9th,
was the time for the picnic for
the seven members of the Jun
ior Youth Fellowship who had
completed their memory work
for the season. They were the
only ones out of about;twenty
four who entered the program.
They were: Janet Baker, Car
la Beth Hayden, Beverly Clay,
Otto Lawrence, Mary Ann Hay
den, Nancy Carol Brunk $nd
Linda Gail Morrison. Only one
of the boys got to go. We hope
there will be more boys next
season as well as girls. Mrs.
Morrison and Mrs. Brunk had
charge of the outing. Elder Bar
ton furnished the transporta
tion (station wagon) and en
joyed the good sandwiches and
cold drink.
Thursday evening was a time
of extensive planning by the
teachers for the coming months
in the Bible School work. The
teachers ahe starting a new sys
tem of follow-up contacts with
absentees, visitors, and new
ones interested in the Bible
School. Since we have so many
coming and going in this com
munity we must keep a close
“tab” on all.
Then Friday evening was the
occasion for the Christian CB’s
Workers meeting. Present at
the meeting were: Messrs Bak
er (in charge), Sam Inman,
Stump, Mattausch, Clay, Parry,
and Barton. A system of merit
attainment and awards was es
tablished by the men. At the
Monday night meeting (last
evening) the boys continued
with their model building, re
creation and drill, and then, af
ter the regular devotional per
iod, the story of the life of
Christ was presented. Visual
and audio aids used were the
projector and pictures, and the
sound system (for narration
and appropriate record music).
We will be glad when we re
ceive our new record player
and changer, as we are using a
borrowed machine for the pre
sent. At the close of the meet
ing the boys joined in singing
their theme chorus, “Dare to be
a Daniel.”
On Friday afternoon came
a request to take charge of a
funeral service of a man who
passed away in the neighbor
hood, Friday morning. On Sat
urday afternoon, at 3:30 P. M.
the service was held in the Sun
nyslope Mortuary. Left to
mourn the death of Mr. Pat
terson, and present for the fun
eral were several elderly rela
tives, including his wife. We
were glad to help these folks
and we trust that the message
which was given concerning
salvation and the hope of those
Who have accepted Christ
might be used to touch the
hearts of some of the unbeliev
ers who were present, as well
as comfort the hearts of the
bereaved.
The Lord’s Day was a beau
tiful bright day here on the
desert, and we thank God for
the fine group that came out
for the four services in the
morning and evening. The
Bible School attendance was
up to 120 and the white bus
was loaded down as it came in
for the Bible School. A number
of snapshots were taken as the
children loaded the bus, be
ginning at Shaw Butte Heights
and then as the bus was unload
ed at the chapel. We want to
use these pictures from time
to time as we print advertis
ing leaflets. We hope, God will
ing, to have our first little fold
er printed, showing several
pictures of the work here, and
a brief resume of the activities
here. These we plan to distri
bute to the homes in the area.
If any of our readers would
like to obtain a copy of this, or
several copies, please let us
know and we will be glad to
mail them out to you. The ad
dress is: “ZION MOUNTAIN
VIEW CHAPEL,” 915 EAST
DUNLAP, PHOENIX, ARIZ.
We were glad to have Mrs.
Marshall Martin present at the
morning service, Sunday. She
stopped very briefly on her re
turn trip to Colorado.
Thank you for your interest
and prayers in connection with
the wo!rk. We hear indirectly
that a number read these re
port letters.
Leland Barton,
{ Elder in Charge.

To Our Customers...
NOW You Can
Go ALL ELECTRIC
THE Public Service Company has long fol
lowed the policy of keeping its customers
informed of new developments affecting their
use of electric service. Now we are able to an
nounce that due to recent expansion of our facil
ities, we can again assure our customers all the
advantages Electrical Living offers.
We believe that now is the time to tell the
public of newest developments in electric cook
ing—perhaps the most important single step
toward Electrical Living.
First of all, electric range production has
caught up sufficiently with demand so that most
models of all makes are available. Important,
too, is the fact that prices have recently been reduced
and are tending to stabilize to a point where values
are equal to or often better than pre-war.
As a result of years of constant research, to
day’s modern electric range is not only beautiful
in the kitchen, convenient to use any meal, safe
to operate any time, but offers you completely
automatic cooking.
Electric cooking is completely carefree—daily cook
ing becomes the least burdensome of housekeep
ing tasks. (Meals cook without the cook.) Precise
temperature control and automatic timer give
you welcome hours of freedom for other things.
Electric cooking is cool—the modern electric range
is thickly insulated on all six sides (heat can’t
escape into your kitchen).
Electric cooking is clean—curtains, walls, and the
range itself, stay fresh and sparkling. Pots and
pans remain mirror-bright; surface cooking units
practically clean themselves.
Electric cooking is faster than ever! Heat generates
instantly; surface units heat rapidly; foods come
quickly to cooking temperatures. (Fast-heating
ovens preheat to baking degrees in less than five
minutes.)
Electric cooking is thrifty—the electric range prin
ciple (heat concentrated on cooking) assures
maximum use of heat. Super-insulation keeps
heat in the range. Steady, even oven tempera
tures are maintained with the current on only
20% of the cooking time. It costs the average
Northern Illinois family only about $2 a month
to cook electrically.
Convenient and efficient though it is, electric
cooking is just one phase of Electrical Living. In
the past few years, phenomenal advances have
likewise been made in the fields of home lighting,
refrigerating, air conditioning, automatic water
heating, and the other contributions electricity
has made to good living. As news is made in
Electrical Living, we’ll pass it along to you.

the beautiful new electric ranges at
