Roanoke Civitan Club Honors SDA Humanitarian Mrs. Routlette Lambdon, who served many years as Potomac State Federation president for community- service workers, received the twenti- eth annual Good Samaritan Award of the Civitan Club of Roanoke. The presentation was made by Keen Campbell, chairman of the committee that selected her. Camp- bell said that Mrs. Lambdon, as chairman of the Community Services program of the area's Seventh-day Adventist church, "has given food to the hungry, clothes for growing chil- dren, fuel to heat a home, eyeglasses for a student, and dentures for a widow." She has been known to give money to transients for bus fare, and money for food on the trip. "When a death occurs in a family, most of the time she is the first to visit the house, cooking meals, cleaning and sharing her warmth and love with the bereaved." She has set up welfare units in her church around the State, and en- couraged the preparation of clothing kits to be distributed in time of disas- ter.

Two Doctors, Their Staff And Families Win Town

It is amazing how much can be ac- complished when no one is inter- ested in who gets the credit. Such is the situation at West Union, a little community halfway between Parkers- burg and Clarksburg.

A few months ago they were joined by Mahlon Harris, who had been teaching X-ray techniques in Taiwan. There are now five men working to- gether, not only to establish a church but to bring truth and peace to the citizens of Doddridge County. On Mother's Day they honored Ida Sheppard, 95 years of age. She has 11 children, 32 grandchildren, and 56- great-grandchildren. For the past 20 years she has been blind. Her life has been spent in hard work and loving care for her family. This is a quote from a newspaper: "The thoughtful and kind act of our two doctors is representative of the unselfish efforts they are making to provide us with high-quality health care. Their pres- ence here in Doddridge is a comfort and blessing to all of us. How fortu- nate we are to have them, their fami- lies, and staff. Recently I heard some- one say, 'They take time to talk to you Dr. Ken Lauren, Mrs. Ida Sheppard, Dr. Art Calhoun about how your body works and what happens when illness strikes you. They do more than write a prescrip- tion for you.' "In their limited free time they have also conducted a physical fitness program and their wives have held two low cholesterol cooking classes." Twice, the medical personnel, in- cluding every phase of their program, has been featured in the local news- paper; on both occasions sharing a whole page.

Crowders Put Ohio Churches on the Map as Highway Sign Program Grows Thirty new church identification signs now stand along Ohio highways. This is part of the first results of the Columbia Union Conference church highway sign program. Elder and Mrs. Ivan Crowder (above), the facilitators of the program, spent most of April in Ohio. Their first stop was in the State offices in Columbus to determine the details of keeping their work in conformity with State regulations. They met with church boards, local government personnel, and with property owners. When this was done it was a simple matter to erect the signs. Lorraine Crowder, working in their mobile home, puts the local lettering on the signs. The signs are then bolted onto 4" by 4" posts, and braced with metal straps. Using their car, the Crowders then transport each sign to the site where the hole is dug, the sign installed, the location noted on their record, and they are on their way. Pastors were glad not to have to be involved with the time-consuming details required to conform with governing regulations. Thankful for the new witness added for their church, the congregation pays only for the sign materials and any fees. This makes the cost to the church no more than if it did the whole project itself. The Columbia Union pays the salary of the Crowders, and the local conference their expenses while in the conference.

WGTS Pledge Week Pulls Biggest Response Ever WGTS-FM conducted its most successful Pledge Week in the station's history this year. More than 550 persons called the station, and many others sent generous gifts to help WGTS in its operation. The $12,000 pledged by listeners has increased to $12,500 received—a 104 percent response. Some 80 percent of the monies received has come from the non-Adventist public. WGTS is expecting tremendous growth in its audience. This is reflected in the success of Pledge Week. An open house from nine o'clock to midnight on Saturday night—the evening before the drive ended—brought listeners from all over the station's coverage area. Carol Wilson (upper left), the station's program director, visits with John Lewis, the radio reporter for the Washington Star, during the open house that Saturday evening. Melvin Schools (upper right, left), the chief operator at WGTS, shows Mr. Jerry Cunningham, one of the station's guest producers, how they pick a musical selection. Dr. Standish (left, lower right) and Harry Jeffery, the station's operations manager, spoke to the guests. Lower left: some of the guests who came to the open house.
