Congratulations
Roger Crowder, Harold Hudson, and Mt. Moriah Church
Working with Roger Crowder and Harold Hudson has been an inspiration for my family and me. The church is blessed to have a steadfast leader, Roger Crowder, who works diligently and generally does not accept “NO” for an answer. It has been a pleasure to work for this community. Mt. Moriah is blessed to have the leadership and wisdom of these two men.
I am not a member of Mt. Moriah, but I am one who serves the same Lord and Savior.
Congratulations on your perseverance in restoring Mt. Moriah.

Why are there rules?
Essay by Jocelyn Rose Coburn
I think if there were no rules, life would be horrible. A lot of people can be shot, stabbed, ran over, or even go into World War IX. In school, we need rules so we do not hurt others or ourselves. Rules do not have to be big; they can be little like the rule: Don’t run in the hallways. These rules are mad in all the places. You even have rules at your own house.
Rules play a big role in life. These rules need to be paid attention to in order to stay safe. Some people break big rules. These people are called thieves or criminals. They usually steal, kill, vandalize, and injure; rules are not of help.
Rules also include animals. It is a rule that you cannot shoot eagles. It is also a rule that you cannot fish in certain places. Not all people follow these rules. You cannot hunt deer any season but hunting season in certain places. These rules are to (mainly) hikers, hunters, spear fishermen, and nature games.
In conclusion, there are a lot of rules we need to follow. If we do our part and follow these rules, the world would be better.

The Way We Were—by Anna Jean Allen
Home Freezer
To my knowledge, home freezers were not common before the mid-1940s. Before that, if people had simmer fruit or vegetables to save for winter, they wither canned or dried them. People who raised pigs or beef cattle has them dressed and packaged and put in commercial freezers or preserved in smokehouses, which I do not know about.
Louisville had a commercial freezer on North Columbus owned by Mr. Grady Langly. It was divided into lockers about 12X12X12 and rented to people who had meat and produce to use.
Then Amana Freezer came on the scene. The company really pushed their product. Amana parties sprung up everywhere, sort of like Tupperware parties. Amara would get someone to act as host and invite friends to listen to the praise of Amana Freezers. The freezers came packed with frozen food and were quite expensive. Because of the price, they were slow catching on; but because of their incredible convenience, they eventually sold well.
Then, other companies—Frigidaire, GE, Sears, etc.—got in on the home freezer business. True, competition is good for business. Now, nearly every home either has an upright or chest-type freezer or else a refrigerator with a freezer compartment.
Amana really started something!
