"At church one night (First Baptist Church) Dr. Wilson, chairman of missions at the local church,

announced to the members that a mission trip to Russia had been planned and that their was room for two members of our church to go," Louthan said. "In just a causal reply I said, 'That sounds exciting. '

"The next thing I . knew , I was going to Russiar'

Louthan's wife, Margaret was planning to go with him on the trip but

Dear MarIe and Brenda, Well my computer is back in my

house after a 1 Itl year visit to the office. So I now have the opportunity to do something I should have been doing every year-write yalla Thank­You note. I will admit howevere, that Ibis year seems to be more appropriate dian ever for doing this.

This year is the fust year thatI have admitted to myself that I wibless at Hale Center is a piece of AmericaDa that few people get to witness anymore. People today are caught up in the hum-drum of everyday life and choose .nol, or are probably nOl afforded the opportunity to wi bless what I gel to see at the Hale Center" Homecoming and Parade. I get to see an America that is disappearing. An America that is proud of Ibis COlDltry. An America that lends a helping hand to their neighbors in times of hardship andsorrow. Peoplewhoaregenuinely concerned for each other and showit.

Russia ••• Cont'd from Page 1 trip . .

Louthan, TumerandtheRev.James Peach, pastor in Vega, were assigned to the city of Dancov, population of 28,000. The host church in the city was the First Evangelical Church of Dancov with a membership of ten.

The men were allowed to attend English class at a lOCal school and be part in revivals. ''The Russian people are very curious about America and the way we live," commented Louthap. "Abouthalfofthequestions asked us were about .the American way oftife."

The biggest membership of the church were made up of women. "Men seem very resistant and very conservative," Louthan said. "once we got out of Moscow, the people were a lot more open, but you stiD could see the residue of the old government. The older people stiu remember the prosecution of the old Russia. We had 10 report to the police about wherewe were staying and my host family was a little frightened about that"

Once the group of 192inissionaries were split inlOgroups and left Moscow people were much friendlier. "People in Moscow were rude, but • guess they were still afraid of prosecution. You could still see baces of the old government, anned soldiers in the city," said Louthan.

In terms of numbers the mission trip was considered a big success. In the church at Dancov, 28 people were baptized and for the trip as a whole over 9,000 were baptized. . '

Asked if he"would like 10 go on anotJter mission trip Louthan replied ". woUld really love to go on another. Afterbaveling to anothercountty and seeing SOme of the results of the prosecution that thOse people had 10

acreage. • Producers that intend to graze

their CRP acreage will be requited 10

follow the conservation service's Forage Inventory and Annual Grazing Plan. These plan specifications can not be exceeded.

• This provision allows for haying or grazing, not both. The same CRP acreage cannot be hayed and grazed. (Remember, CRP acreage cannot be grazed until July 16)

• The lerm "hayi,ng" means one cutting only and the bales must be removed from all CRP acreage by Dec. 31. This does not allow you 10

stack the hay on the comer of- your

CRP acreage. The final day to hay CRP is Sept 30.

... Participants will be required 10

sign a register, meet all of the requirements and be approved before haying or grazing is started.
