In some counties the total was as high as 61.6 percent. Unemployment is widespread. Almost the entire region is included in the government's list of critical health care shortage areas. It should not be surprising, then, to understand why 36.7 percent of the homes in the United States had air conditioning, and more than half of those in the South, but the number in eastern Kentucky counties was as low as 3.0 percent. It should not be too startling to discover that while only 5.5 percent of the homes in the United States lacked some or all plumbing facilities, more than two-thirds of the homes in some eastern Kentucky counties had inadequate facilities. The region most severely affected in each category is the mountainous territory known as Appalachia. The discovery of coal has brought mixed blessings to eastern Ken- tucky.

Belcher Harlan Weeksbury

These are the only three buildings owned by the church in the heart of the Kentucky mountains. The Belcher church is raising funds for a new sanctuary. The building at Weeksbury is not in use at present. A recent mining explosion shattered its windows. The Prestonsburg, Whitesburg, and Middlesboro groups have no buildings. The Middlesboro company is meeting in its eighth location in two years. The Harlan church has room for a school, but lack of financial resources forced it to close.

THREE Architect's rendering of Chattanooga "s new Avondale School and Day Care Center.

n Sunday, November 20, near four o'clock in the afternoon in Chattanooga, the corner of Orchard Knob and Wilson Streets came alive. The parking lot of the Avondale Seventh-day Adventist School and Day Care Center filled with cars and spilled out onto both streets as parents, children, and guests came for the dedication of the newly constructed- school building. The impressive program included civic, educational, and religious leaders of Chattanooga as well as conference and other church leaders. Two former students, Edward Mattox, an educator in Virginia, near Washington, D.C., and Dr. E. E. Cleveland, from Oakwood College, traveled many miles for the occasion. Other city leaders, former students of the school, were present. Mrs. Esma E. Woods, who retired this year from teaching butwho remains chairman of the school board, Present for the dedication were D. A. Walker (left), secretary-treasurer of gave a running history of the school in a paper titled, the South Central Conference, alumni Edward Mattox and E. E. Cleve- From Whence We've Come." land. With them is Patrick Vincent, pastor of the church. Also in attendance was Dr. J. F. Dent, South Central's superintendent of education. "This is a very special day — a day to be remembered forever! — the dedication of our very own Avondale SDA School and Day Care Center! Think of it— a reality and not just a dream. Thanks be to God! To God be the William Freeman, builder. glory, great things He has done! "In 1919,58 years ago, in the basement of our church on Cross Street our school had its beginning. Many young people and teachers passed through its doors. These young people found their places in the world — preaching, teaching, nursing, and other meaningful activities. "Teachers who served on Cross Street were Mrs. Edith Jaro, Mrs. Emma Scott, and Mrs. Billie C. Rowe. The Cross Street students included Dr. E. E. Cleveland and his brother, W. J. Cleveland. "In 1940 a new church was built at 1001 East 8th Street with two rooms for a school in the rear. Some of the 8th Street teachers were Mrs. Emma Scott, Mrs. Lawerence Britton, Mrs. James Britton, Mrs. Delilah Mae Custard, Mrs. Ruth Jenkins, Mrs. Ruby Lowery, Mrs. Jacobe, and myself. "The 8th Street student body included, Edward Mattox, Elder Harold E. Cleveland, Fredrick Johnson, Billie Hill, Mrs. Tresa Mattox Powell, Mrs. Iris Smith, Miss Iris Starks, and others. "In 1962 Mrs. Hortence Johnson walked to the rear of the church and viewed the situation. She was displeased with the limited facilities and the congested condition of the school. She shared this burden with others. Elder W. Watkins and Billie Charles Green had the same insight, and joined with Mrs. Johnson to give birth to 'a new school building' concept. Others quickly joined them. There were programs, teas, roadblocks, concerts, and many gifts to raise funds for the school building.

FOUR Whence We've Come—

by Esma Woods and I. J. Johnson

"In 1967 Elder R. J. McKinney was pastor when the church bought the very property here on the corner of Orchard Knob and Wilson Streets for the future center of education of Seventh-day Adventists in the Avondale area of Chattanooga, Tennessee. "There was a large house here which we remodeled so as to conduct school while we continued to raise money for our new building. The dedicated teachers who taught in the old house were Mrs. Ruth Jenkins, Miss Mary Patton, Mrs. Grayce Williams, Mrs. Lucy Barley, Mrs. Mildred Logan, Miss Deloris Harris, Oliver Wilson, and I. "In May, 1976, a young man full of energy and determination came to Chattanooga as pastor. He saw the need of a school building. He launched the final thrust for this new building. "In May, 1976, the P.T.A. sponsored a program and raised $1,100. In March, the women raised $17,000. (When Elder L. W. Williams left, the church had on hand some $32,000.) In April, 1977, we broke ground for the school building. "May I compare this dynamic young man with a bee, Kenneth S. Conley and Melvin L. Gill, architects. buzzing all over town and stinging as he went. He buzzed downtown to many of the business places and came back with thousands of dollars. He buzzed out to Collegedale and came back with thousands of dollars. Children's chorus. He buzzed over to the South Central Conference and stung President C. E. Dudley and came back with $30,000. "This young man, with God as his leader and the church as his helperand friends everywhere, and especially with the talent and skill of Pastor William Freeman, the contractor,was able to lead us into our very own Avondale SDA School and Day Care Center on September 7, 1977, just five months after ground breaking. "The teachers are Miss Brenda Valentine, principal/teacher, and Oliver Wilson. Miss Noretta Jenkins is director of the day care with four day care teachers. The combined enrollment is 103 pupils. "Who is this young man? He is our own beloved pastor, Dr. Patrick E. Vincent. "We are so happy and thankful today, because God has done great and marvelous things for us, by giving us this beautiful school building." The building was valued at $300,000, but Vincent planned to build it for $200,000. It actually cost some $175,000, including the furnishings and another lot for additional play and parking area. He had hoped that the dedication would be free of debt, but there is some $30,000 debt. The pastor smiles and is assured that "God will help us to wipe this out in a few months."

A whole new life filled with victories will open up to these new members as they continue their walk with Jesus. A new vitality has come into Columbia as the church has discovered for itself the joy of sowing gospel seed.

ROME, ITALY — — — Italian and Vatican negotiators have reached agreement on the text of a new concordat. It will replace the one that has governed relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the Italian state since 1929. Under the new agreement, Catholicism will no longer be the official state religion of Italy. Vatican courts will no longer have the final say on the annulment of marriages, and religious education will no longer be compulsory in Italian schools. The text now goes to Italy's Parliament for final ratification. CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE — — — In a survey by the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), "Little House on the 'Prairie" and "The Waltons" top the list of the "most acceptable" prime time television programs. "Maude" narrowly edges out "Soap" as the most offensive TV program. More than one million evangelical Christians took part in the survey conducted by the church's Family Life Commission as part of its crusade to upgrade television programming Last April, the Church of God sponsored a week-long television boycott, followed by a campaign encouraging tighter family control of TV viewing. Next the church plans to boycott sponsors of objectional programs. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — — — A Los Angeles publisher of religious music has filed a second suit charging Roman Catholic bishops with copyright infringement. Friends of English Liturgy Publications already has a suit pending in federal court against the Chicago archdiocese for $2 million. That suit stems from 1976 charges of widespread use of "pirated hymnals." Now, F. E. L. Publications is suing the National Conference of Catholic Bishops — United States Catholic Conference — for $8.6 million. It charges that the bishops have not been vigorous enough in providing direction for the proper use of copyrighted material, and have contributed to the unauthorized duplication, distribution, and sale of F. E. L. publications. NEW YORK CITY — — — At its November policy-making meeting, the governing board of the National Council of Churches heard U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young pay tribute to the churches' influence on foreign policy; pledged to stop doing business with banks who have South African ties; joined a boycott of J. P. Stevens textile products; received a telegram from President Carter expressing appreciation for the council's endorsement of the Panama Canal Treaties; urged public funding of legal abortions; commended the President's Middle East policy; urged reconstruction aid to Vietnam; observed the 25th anniversary of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible; and approved a $24 million budget. WASHINGTON, D.C. — — — Enrollment at 12 Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities in North America stands at 18,941, according to the Department of Education of the General Conference. The figure represents an increase of 180 students over totals for the 1976-77 academic year. However, more part-time students have swelled the ranks, as full-time enrollment is 200 lower than last year. The department revealed that 16,395 persons are in the undergraduate programs of the denomination's system of higher education, while 2,546 are in graduate and professional programs. Enrollment is as follows: Andrews University, 2,837; Atlantic Union College, 774 students; Canadian Union College, 170; Columbia Union College, 914; Kettering College of Medical Arts, 421; Loma Linda University, 4,852; Oakwood College, 1,314; Pacific Union College, 2,186; Southern Missionary College, 1,906; Southwestern Adventist College, 745; Union College, 920; and Walla Walla College, 1,848. WASHINGTON, D.C. — — — The National Women's Christian Temperance Union reports that the U.S. Drinking public paid $26 billion last year for alcoholic beverages. On the other side of the coin, the liquor industry was allowed a tax deduction of approximately $310 million for alcohol advertising in 1976, while the federal government spent $313 million to combat and treat alcoholism and alcohol abuse during the same year, according to A. R. Mazat, circulation manager for Listen, the Adventist Church's temperance journal. "It is our privilege to offer a better way," states Mazat. "The lawmakers of our land, the professional offices in our towns and cities, and institutions of correction and learning should receive Listen." NEWBURY PARK, CALIFORNIA — — — Faith For Today's Bible School offers 11 different Bible correspondence courses appealing to a variety of age groups and interests. The following report covers the first nine months of 1977 in North America: Applications, 77,153; Enrollments, 15,007; Lessons graded, 192,140; Active students, 16,665; Graduates, 4,718, (Non-SDA, 3,381); Interest reports sent, 2,844; Interest reports returned, 1,119; Baptisms, 573. "Unfortunately, an average of 65 percent of the interests supplied by our radio and television ministries are not followed up by the local churches," according to Mrs. Virginia Fagal, Bible School director.

-TENNESSEE "One of the best groups who were sincerely interested in quitting the smoking habit," is how Dr. George T. Mills described a recent FIVE-DAY PLAN TO STOP SMOKING CLINIC held in the education building of the Memphis First church. Sixty-six persons started the plan on opening night with about 55 finishing the clinic, with 26 having completely stopped. One man commented that he had tried to quit smoking before but it was the completeness of the Five-Day Plan that helped him to finally quit. Twenty-nine of the participants came to the clinic after seeing Mills interviewed on "Straight Talk," a local weekday morning television talk show. Among the participants was an observer from the local chapter of the Tennessee Lung Association who was so impressed with the program that she wants her organization to take part in the next clinic. Assisting Dr. Mills in the clinic was Pastor John Estrada of the Raleigh SDA church.

FIFTEEN The annual October VISITORS' DAY at the Memphis, Tennessee, First church was a "spirit-filled weekend which met the needs of the people," according to Sabbath School superintendent Loren Larson. Elder and Mrs. Charles Edwards were the special guests during the two-day meeting which focused on "Soul Winning by Love." Edwards, formerly a minister at the Memphis First church, is director of Health Services for the Northern California Conference.

More than 1,000 officers elected to serve during 1978 gathered at Oakwood college to RECEIVE INSTRUCTION AND INSPIRATION for the coming year. The annual meeting heard President C. E. Dudley challenge leaders to cause "every church to start a church, and everyone to win one." The speaker, Pastor E. C. Ward, "closed doors." He emphasized that the door of probation is about to close. The president reported that 1,213 baptisms had been reported for the year 1977.

It further gives opportunity to witness of Bible truth, as taught by the remnant church, in an area of life not ordinarily touched. Lester also serves as secretary of the Inter-denominational Ministers Fellowship of the greater Nashville area. This is the largest organization of ministers in the area that crosses denominational and racial lines. It enrolls approximately 300 clergymen and women.

OUTHERM MISSIONARY COLLEGE

Malcolm Childers, assistant professor of art at Southern Missionary College, had a life-long dream come true this past summer. He was hired to make a PHOTO ESSAY to be utilized in a $10,000 corporate image and a small project brochure, for the Rocky Mountain Energy Corporation. Malcolm made a proposal stating that he would photograph the various aspects of the corporation from an art base as opposed to the common journalistic approach. Childers was contracted to work from the first day of May until the second week in July. During this period he took approximately 4,500 photos. He rode on mine trucks, dangled from a variety of unusual machines, explored the depths of coal mines in Wyoming, and flew across the mineral-laden land of the Union Pacific's early land grants in order to take a potpourri of project-site photos.

Plans to stage another CLEAN ASHTRAY DAY in Nashville during 1978 were revealed at a Clean Ashtray Day awards luncheon held at Madison Hospital recently. Host for the luncheon was Robert Trimble, Madison Hospital executive vice president and administrator. State Senator Bill Boner will serve again asthe chairman and June Carter and Johnny Cash as honorary chairpersons, according to Virgil K. Lewis, Madison Hospital public relations director, originator and coordinator of the event. The successful 1977 campaign featured a contest between the 24,000 Metro and State employees in Davidson County to see who could obtain the most signatures pledging not to smoke on Clean Ashtray Day. Metro won by a plurality of nearly 2,000. Madison Hospital joined with other concerned organizations and agencies throughout Davidson County recently in staging a SIMULATED PLANE CRASH DISASTER. This planned mock disaster served as an extensive test to the Davidson County Hospital Notifica- • tion tem accordin. to Robert Trimble Madison Hospital executive vice president and administrator. From the 200 mock patients developed at the scene, 16 were assigned to Madison Hospital. Not previously planned in the drill, an army helicopter also brought a patient to Madison Hospital to test its recently activated heliport. A successful WEEK OF INSPIRATION was held recently at Takoma Adventist Hospital. The attendance at the 8 a.m. devotional period was exceptional, with about 80 being present • each morning. The doctors from the Takoma Medical Group were the speakers and the material presented provoked more healthy discussion among the non-Adventist staff than • anything else has for sometime. Drs. R. Larsen, M. J. Odel, M. Mathiesen, G. Hoppe, and J. R. McKinney each presented different aspects of healthful living.

TWENTY-NINE Just off the press Timely Keys to Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Health

Much has been written concerning the relationship between the mind and the body — some authoritative, some speculative. Mind, Character, and Personality is the result of a thorough search through Ellen G. White's unpublished letters and manuscripts to glean all relevant comments on this topic. These, together with material available at random in current and out-of-print volumes, have been compiled to provide in-depth, but practical study in 1978. The health directors of the General, Southern Union, and local conferences encourage church groups to devote one prayer meeting or Sabbath afternoon service per month to the study of Mind, Character, and Personality, using the special study guides. Order a set for each family in your church, or order yours individually. Available through the Adventist Book Center of your local conference. Free Study Guides if ordered by January 31. Please send me set(s) of Mind, Character, and Personality, plus the free study guides. (Study guides will be 750 each if ordered after January 31). I have added 600 postage per set, plus my local sales tax, to my remittance. name address city state zip
