First Baptist to have
parsonage Open House
The First Baptist Church
has announced that they will
be having open house on
June 26 at the new parson-
age located at 521 N.E. 6th.
Open House will be from 2-4
p.m. with the actual dedica-
tion service at 2 p.m. Open
House is for all who would
• desire to view the home and
share in this great occasion.
Dedication of the home
serves as a reminder that
this also will be a part of
God's work in this area. Both
experiences are open to the
public.
Construction began on
the building just a few short
months ago with much of the
work being done by mem-
bers of the church. There
was more work contracted
out on the parsonage than on
the church building, and yet
the final indebtedness will
be much less than half the
appraised value of the
home. The members hope
to see this project paid for as
rapidly as they did the
church.
Pastor Tom Hunter com-
mends the church for their
willingness and eagerness to
enter into such a project and
sees it as one more evidence
that these people have a de-
sire to expect great things
from God and attempt great
things for God. He feels the
home has been exceptionally
well-planned for use as a
parsonage with adequate
room for small group meet-
ings and counseling ses-
sions. It also has "Prophet
Quarters" built to accommo-
date visiting preachers and
evangelists. Pastor Hunter
said, "Our family has enjoy-
ed the ministry here among
these gracious people and
we rejoice in their faith and
courage. God has been very
good to us and to this church
in our time together and we
look for even greater things
to occur in the days ahead."
The church has spent a
great deal of time consider-
ing what God would have
them do next. They are as-
sured that the first priority
is to be of service to the com-
munity to share the Word of
God with people. But their
vision also includes • projects
and programs that will help
bring this Great Commission
into a reality in their lives
and through their churcht
Whatever happens, you can
rest assured that the mem-
bership desires that all
praise and honor be focused
on one name--the name
which is above every name--
the Lord Jesus Christ!
it is His leadership, guid-
ance, and provision that has
made all of these things pos-
sible! Praise God from
whom all blessings flow!

Bloodmobile plans
July 11 Perkins visit
The Regional Blood Pro-
gram of the American Red
Cross is the sole supplier for
58 hospitals in 261/3 counties
in Oklahoma. Their philoso-
phy is that "individuals
should receive blood because
they need it. There should
be no other criteria."
Opal Olson, member of
the Payne County Board for
the ARC said the bloodmo-
bile will be in Perkins July 11
at 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. The facil-
ities will be set up at the
Lions Den. Both the Lions
and Jaycess are backing the
project.
The Cimarron Valley Ex-
tension Homemakers Club
is sponsoring the bloodmo-
bile program in Perkins.
They will provide workers as
well as orange juice and
cookies for the blood donors.
Volunteers who give blood
may schedule their time for
convenience or "walk-ins"
will be accepted, Mrs. Olson
said.
An orientation for workers
is scheduled for June 29 at
1 p.m. in the Lions Den.
Workers from the regional
office out of Tulsa will
instruct workers participa.
ting in the drive.
Mrs. Olson said that in
checking with Stillwater
Municipal Hospital she
found numerous names from
the Perkins area. "'Over one-
half of the patients receiving
blood transfusions were
from smaller towns in the
Stillwater vicinity." The
ARC does not buy blood nor
charge for it. It should not be
confused with Community
Blood Bank, Inc., in Okia-
homa City.
John Duck, chairman for
the Payne County Red Cross
said "Anyone having any
problems getting blood out-
side the Tulsa Regional area
should let the Red Cross in
Stillwater know about it.
"The last thing a patient
needs is harassment about
replacing blood when a pa-
tient is ill enough to need
transfusions in an Oklahoma
City Hospital or an extra
fee for doing so," Duck told
The Journal.
The patients in these hos-
pitals are being asked to re-
place blood by providing
donors to come to Oklahoma
City. If not they are charged
an additional fee by the Okla-
homa Blood Institute," he
said.
Tulsa hospitals or an affili-
ate with the Red Cross co-
operate. Therefore, the di-
rector of Tulsa Advisory
Committee stated it is true
that he would advise persons
to go to those hospitals which
can provide Red Cross blood.
Duck said the Red Cross
will go so far as to "boycott"
hospitals charging persons
additional fees for blood. He
believes the testing fees are
one of the major facfors for
not using Red Cross blood
which is already tested• The
same problem seems to be
developi.ng in the Enid
hospital, the Stillwater manll
said.
Blood must be given in.

135,000 bushels
deposited at Co.op
By Allan Wall
The grain harvest is con-
tinuing and completely fin-
ished by some farmers. The
Co-op elevator in Perkins has
taken in an amount in excess
of 135,000 bushels. The
average yield per acre has
been about 30 bushels per
acre, and the approxi-
mate average weight per
bushel is 61 pounds. The
moisture content of the grain
is about 101A%. In wheat,
the content of moisture
should not be above 13%,
because wheat has such a
concentrated product too
much moisture messes it up.
Dwain narrow of the Co-
op also reported harvest is
probably about 75% finish-
ed, and that we've had "ex-
cellent weather conditions"
for harvest this year.
As I said before wheat is
very concentrated. The main
part of the grain is composed
of carbohydrates. The wheat
plant uses sunlight, water
and minerals to manufacture
the wheat grains, which are
a source of energy for hu-
mans and animals. So actual-
ly, wheat is a more produc-
tive source of energy than
oil, because it possesses the
ability to multiply and make
more of itself each year.
Once there's some oil and
you use it up, it's gone. (But
no wisecracker better sug-
gest I run a car on wheat!)
Harvest is the time of each
year that a farmer reaps the
produce of his planning, i
work, time, and money• A lot
of money is tied up in it, and
it's meant to make a profit
for the farmer• When a
farmer invests money to
work the soil, seed it, and l
manage it, he's taking a risk,
If his wheat is destroyed by a :
