Purchases Business
Full ownership of the Hamburger Inn passed to Merl Ross this week with purchase of Maurice Peyton’s share in the partnership, according to an announcement by the two men.
The eating establishment was originally purchased by Ross in 1942. Peyton joined him in December of 1942.
Peyton said he had no plans for the immediate future.
Civic Center Employs Program Supervisor
At their meeting Tuesday night, the Civic Center Board voted to secure the services of Calvin Kistler as supervisor of the Youth program at the Civic Center.
Mr. Kistler, who met with the Board, discussed plans for the future. During the month of March, he will observe the present program. Then starting in April, he will direct activities each Friday and Saturday night for the youths of the community.
A teacher in the Eastern High School and leader of the local Boy Scout organization, Mr. Kistler is well qualified to direct a program which will be both entertaining and instructive.

A recent story about a place named Punkeydoodles Corner has turned up some information on other strange names. Punkeydoodles Corners is the center of a controversy in Ontario, Canada, where several counties are fighting for the honor of listing it within their borders.
Publication of this story sent National Geographic Magazine researchers scurrying into their files to find a counterpart for Punkeydoodles Corners in the United States. Not that it’s important, but the researchers wondered if there was any such name gracing an American community.
Several lulu’s were found, including a place called Delirium Tremens. There was another named Mugfuzzle Flat, but the daddy of all seems to be owned by a town in Wales, England, which is Lianfairwllwyngyilgoerychwyrndrobwillantysiliogogoch. The editor suggests the people in that town in Wales refer to their city as “that town.”

Local Youth Group Overcomes Hunger With Love
submitted by Mallory Bitterman, EHS Senior
Making a difference doesn't have to involve traveling all around the world, just ask the First United Methodist's Youth Group. Inspired by 1 John 3:18 which says, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth," the teens will take action. The youth group, Stonewall Ministries, will be doing an event called "Thirty Hour Famine". Through World Vision, they will be fasting for thirty hours and raising funds to help starving children throughout the world.
The students came up with a group goal of $4,500, with some individuals setting personal goals as high as $1,000. Approximately twenty senior high youth have committed to raising at least thirty dollars each. Thirty dollars feeds one child for one month, dividing down to about a dollar every day for one
month. Every day as many as
11,000 kids die from hunger and related causes. Many starve and the ones who are lucky enough to survive are extremely malnourished.
The youth have a good start on fundraising, and will end this fundraiser Feb 24-25 by having a lock-in at their church where they will fast for thirty hours to get a feel for what they are helping prevent.
If you would like to help Stonewall Ministries reach their goal, you may make a check out to World Vision and drop it off at the Greentown First United Methodist Church office, 124 S. Green Street, Greentown, or mail to First United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 196, Greentown, IN 46936. Donations are tax deductible. Anything is greatly appreciated. Together, what can we do to make a difference?
Questions can be directed to Mark Slusher, 860-8538.

A Good Night's Sleep
By Chaplain (MAJ) Jeffrey L. Brooks
I'd like to start this time by asking you a couple questions if I may. "How are you doing these days when it comes to getting a good night's sleep?" "Have you been resting well lately?" "Do you ever feel like you are running on empty?"
In the Book of Matthew the Lord said this, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and over-burdened, and I will give you rest! Put on my yoke and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-30, J.B. Phillips Bible).
Over the past couple of years I've learned a lot about the importance of the quality of sleep that we get. There is a relationship between the quality of the rest we get and the quality of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. The "quality" of our sleep seems to be as important as the "quantity" of the sleep we get.
I'd like to challenge you to make sure that you get the rest that you need - the kind of rest that refreshes, revives and rejuvenates. One way to do this is by simply making "quality-rest" a priority in our lives - something that we schedule, focus on and plan for.
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust" (Psalm 91:1-2).
