12 NORTH PACIFIC UNION GLEANER SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

Worthington Foods would like to know. Really! So why don't you read over this page, pretend you're a member of our Marketing Committee, and tell us what you would like for dinner, for lunch, or for whatever your occasion. For instance, we could make for you a breaded veal-style cutlet, frozen and ready to heat. Or, if you'd prefer, we could add a frozen beef-style pot pie to complement the chicken-style pot pie you are already using. Would you like a delicious convenience item? Like maybe a dehydrated stroganoff that comes in a pan that can be used for both baking and serving. All you do is add water, pop in the oven, and in thirty minutes you serve. Of course, if you're a cacciatore or tetrazzini type, tell us. How about some soups for the family? If so, what kind? Maybe you're a snack type. Would you believe we can create an imitation cashew nut rich in protein, tasty, and at half the cost and half the fat of real cashew nuts? Well we're not positive (about the price), but if you tell us you want it, we'll get to work. Anyone for some Chinese dinners? How about a frozen chop suey or chow mein all ready to heat and serve? Anyone for a breakfast item? Somebody for dessert! Since 1939 we at Worthington Foods, have been giving you vegetable protein and other products we thought you would like. From the way you've been buying, we must have made some good guesses. But now it's your turn to tell us. If some of these product ideas sound good to you, let us know by CIRCLING THE TOP THREE that appeal to you. Any comments, preferences, or additional product suggestions you have can be noted at the bottom of this page. And if you sign your name and address so we can read it, we'll send you free a copy of Recipes By Worthington.

14 NORTH PACIFIC UNION GLEANER

LATE FLASH . . . And the Rains Came'

The story of Fairbanks is one of complete devastation and tragedy. "Every home and every business has been under water," none has escaped. The Good Friday earthquake was more devastating financially but the city of Anchorage could still func- tion. It is different in Alaska's second largest city. Over 35,000 people are homeless and the personal losses are far greater. In a month to six weeks the freeze-up will strike the northland. The waters are receding slowly—too slowly—only half an inch per hour. Mud and silt must be con- tended with in every home. Power and communication lines are still out of order, sewers will be filled with silt, and the task of putting a city back into operation will be a gigantic one to say nothing of the shortage of time. How were our people affected? First, we can be thankful that none of our people have received personal injury. All are safe and accounted for, but the personal losses have been heavy. Sunday, Weldon Opp, a civil engineer, Mrs. Hansen and I flew to Fairbanks to survey the damage to our church property. The church has been heavily damaged. Pastor Ronald Breingan worked at the church with Glen Weston, a visitor from Anchorage, to salvage as much as possible. The teacher's large apartment had just been redecorated and the paint almost dry when the flood struck, but most of the furniture was moved to higher floors. "We didn't have time to unfasten the pews and move them," they reported, so they had been under water, but they saved the organ and the piano in the sanctuary. Just what the condition of the church is no one knows yet, about two to four inches of silt covered the sanctuary and foyer floors and the apartment, servicemen's center, and Dorcas room still had six feet of water in them. The general devastation is hard to describe. Hymnals, many books and new Bibles were destroyed. We do know the current was heavy and tearing at the foundation at one corner. The frost during the winter freeze is expected to do heavy damage if the water table does not recede in time. Pastor Breingan's home was on higher ground. "We could see the water steadily coming. It was all around us. Ron was working at the church," states Mrs. Breingan. "I tried to pile things as high as I could just in case the water kept coming up. Then the police and the military came and ordered us out. We didn't have time to take anything. The water came fast—five more feet of it." A large truck towed Pastor Breingan's car to safety but his house and possessions went under the water. Dr. A. V. Pflugrad lived on the banks of the Chena River close to the church. All his possessions have been lost or completely damaged. His dental office was severely damaged. At 10:30 p.m. we found him camping on a hillside; forty other people were there, nineteen of them children. He seemed of good courage even though he lost two houses and a dental office—that's the spirit of the north—we found it everywhere. The other members—we just know they are safe but their homes are under water. Wednesday night I phoned the North Pole (incidentally that is Santa Claus's town fifteen miles south of Fairbanks). Here we have Harley Hurst, our local elder and Tanana Valley's largest farmer. I was surprised to actually get the call through and to hear his voice. He was the only member that was not touched by the flood. "I have a big crew working and we are cutting lettuce. I have already shipped several tons to the military and have another shipment ready to go. God has been good to me and all the rest of us. Our church members are all taken care of, they have been fed and warm." Water was all around him but his large farm and equipment were safe. The days ahead will be especially trying. The clean-up, the salvage, and building anew will be a hard task. At this point we know little of the future as complete surveys are impossible. On Sabbath, August 19, our members throughout Alaska gathered funds for our believers in Fair- banks. At Anchorage, homes were being opened throughout the city for the stricken families that could get transportation down. This has not been easy as it took three hours to travel from the University, where 6,000 people were being housed, to the Fairbanks airport on the few military vehicles that were able to travel in the deep water. Our Anchorage members have taken in several of our own people that have come through. Mrs. Breingan and her children have been among some of those evacuated and taken in in An- chorage. She has now returned, but the children are still in Anchorage. As soon as further information comes to us_and as soon as a personal survey of our properties is permitted, a more complete report will be given. JOSEPH C.
