FREEZER TIPS
lock in flavor: Use moisture and vapor-proot
materials especially designed for Ireezers to wrap
your foods Tightly sealed, these lock in flavor and
moisture and prevent "freezer burn" (surface dry-
ing) on foods. Don't use wax paper, bread paper
or regular cellophane for freezer foods.
label packages: Date and identify freezer pack-
ages so (1) you don't accumulate a lot of mysterious
shapes and (2) you'll be able to pick out foods that
have been in the freezer longest
take advantage of sales: Avoid overstock
ing with commercially frozen food that's always
available; use your freezer as your own bargain
counter and store foods you can buy on sale. But
do allow space for short-time baked goods, left-
overs and special party foods

Former Resident
Honored For
Voluntary Work
A former resident of
Aspermont, John E. Nance,
now of Merseyside, England,
was invested as a Serving
Brother of the Most
Venerable Order of St. John
of Jerusalem, in recognition
of his voluntary services to
the community. The cere-
mony was at St. John's
Priory in London, England.
This Order of Chivalry was
bounded in 1048 A.D. for the
aid and protection of pilgrims
to Jerusalem during the
Crusades.
Her majesty, Queen
Elizabeth II of Great Britain,
as its sovereign Head, had
formally sanctioned Nance's
admission to the Order.
Although a native of El
Paso, Nance lived in
Aspermont as a child from
1925 to 1931, when he moved
with his family to Georgia
and then to Europe. He still
corresponds with his friends,
Wade H. Davis of Aspermont
and former Aspermont
residents, Mrs. S. E. (Bessie)
Goodloeof Dallas and Mrs. L.
(Jetta Evans) Hamilton of El
Paso.
Having served throughout.
World War II in the British
Army, Nance is now a retired
police officer and he and his
wife, Lilian, plan to have a
vacation in the United States
and visit these friends in
July.
the
gospel truth
All is forgiven! Praise God!
The scripture hath said"
...for he is kind unto the un-
thankful and to the evil."
Luke 6:35 "For God so loved
the WORLD that he gave his
only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him,
should not perish but have
everlasting life." You see,
God even causes the sun to
rise on the evil and the good,
and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust. Why?
Because of the sacrifice of his
precious son. He shed his
Mood for everyone once for
all.
If God is so concerned
about even those that reject
him how much more does his
grace abide on those that
receive Jesus as their Lord.
The Word says, "God com-
mendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet
tinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being NOW
justified by his blood, we
shall be saved from wrath
through him." Romans 5:8, 9
In other words, Christ loved
us even while we were
rejecting the work of Calvary
and holding to our sin. Even
while some of you reading
this article are cursing
everything that represents
God—He still loves you
because the sacrifice is
complete. But just think. If he
loves you now while you
reject him, how much more
by Bro. Marshall Townsley
love can you experience if
you accept Jesus.
Hie men who preach God's
wrath upon the Christian are
liars. We have been saved
from the wrath to come by
the blood of Jesus. That's the
message of the gospel. Thank
God!
Yes, we make errors and
sin, but the blood of Jesus has
never ceased to flow in our
behalf. If the Blood of Christ
did not cover my future sin
then Jesus would have to be
crucified every time I made a
mistake and committed sin.
TTiat my friend will never
happen.
You, as a Christian, are no
longer unworthy because
Jesus gave you his
righteousness. II Cor. 5:21
You have been escorted by
the Holy Spirit directly into
the throne room of God.
Enjoy It! It's all paid for.
We love you! Please feel
free to write us about your
needs and prayer requests.
We will help in any way we
can.

AUSTIN—Texas doctors
have expressed increasing
concern about the swine flu
iA/New Jersey) immuniza-
tion program.
"The medical risks prob-
ably will be low for pa-
tients. But health care pro-
viders may suffer from a
plague of liability suits,"
said Dr. Jack Haley,
president-elect of the Te:ias
Academy of Family Physi-
cians.
Haley told public health
workers here doctors prob-
ably will participate fully
in the rna«siv? iniip.unizs*
tion in spite of feared legal
risks.
Haley predicted pharm-
aceutical firms and physi-
cians will be major targets
for lawsuits. Such claims,
he stated, could "prove
troublesome at the least,"
though collections are un-
likely.
A/New Jersey flu im-
munizations should prove
"low-risk" to patients who
are not allergic to eggs, doc-
tors report.
"It now appears the fed-
eral government and the
Texas Department of
Health Resources will be
unable to provide liability
protection." Dr. Haley said.
"Some doctors will have to
supervise huge clinics im-
munizing hundreds of peo-
ple very quickly. There is
no way a physician can per-
sonally oversee each injec-
tion and still have everyone
immunized before flu sea-
son.
Haley reported a Texas
Medical Association survey
shows more than 50 per
cent of physicians respond-
ing have quit doing surgery
and delivering babies, pro-
cedures which cause many
suits.
The survey showed
another fourth of Texas
doctors will lose their mal-
practice insurance within a
few months.
Dams Need Repair
Sixty-two Texas dams
need major correction, and
more than 600 are in need
of repair or some changes.
Another 250 have no
permits, as was discovered
in inspections going back to
1968.
•Some steps already are
being taken to fix the 62
dams which are in the
worst shape.
Leakage and seepage are
common. Some spillways
are eroded, and caverns
have been found beneath
Red Bluff Dam on the Pecos
River in Reeves and Loving
counties.
