Misleading Liquor Advertising Is a Danger for Young Adults
A retired businessman is doing something about current liquor advertising. William Ply-mat, retired chairman of the board of Preferred Risk Mutual Insurance Company, is continuing his long fight against alcoholism by asking Congress to reconsider liquor advertising and its effect upon the youth.
Today’s liquor advertising links liquor with joy, sex and exciting social relationships— increasingly focusing on the youth. Plymat cites a study that concludes: “The younger the age at which an individual starts to ingest alcohol, the

Concerning advertising which relates liquor with pleasurable experiences, Plymat reasons that “if alcoholism is, for many, a drug addiction and advertising induces initial use, then its inducement, for those, leads to addiction.”
Plymat has expressed his conviction to the liquor industry with few results. He is now asking for government action in two direction.
First, he asks Congress to make alcoholic beverage advertising a non-deductible expense for liquor companies. Seventy members of the House of Representatives have signed up for such legislation.
Second, he wants the Federal Trade Commission to establish tougher standards for liquor advertising that require affirmative hazards and delete deceptive claims or impressions.

"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shaft thou establish in the very heavens. . . .

Review and Herald Publishes Song by Hospital Employee
Tracy Shantz, physical therapist at St. Helena Hospital and Health Center, discovered through the Recorder that he is a published song writer.
“Christ, the Joy of Loving Hearts,” a song written	and
composed by	Trac7shantz
Shantz 10 years ago, is song No. 13 in the Review and Herald Publishing Association’s new youth songbook, Advent Youth Sing.
The Recorder’s May 30 issue contained a review of the new songbook.
Shantz, who holds a BA in music and a BS in physical therapy from Loma Linda University, originally wrote the song for the Stockton Central Church’s kindergarten class directed by his wife, Betty. The published song was sent along with several others to the Review publishers in 1967.
“I was shocked when I received a letter from the publishers in 1975 asking permission to use one of my songs for a forthcoming songbook,” says Shantz.
California Senate Bill 839 by Ralph Dills is a collective bargaining bill which has suddenly been amended to create a serious threat for state employees with religious convictions against supporting unions.

FOURTH-QUARTER SABBATH SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

Sunday, Sept. 11	9:30 a.m. Campus Hill Church
11057 Hill Drive, Loma Linda
Television, used by the world to reach millions with a message, has been put to work by the Riverside Adventist Church to reach individuals with God’s Message. Conceived by Riverside Pastor Robert Tomlin nearly a year ago, the church’s Audio-visual Ministry was inaugurated Sabbath, May 28, 1977.
Directed by Russ Hoffman, a 29-year veteran of Christian and educational radio and TV, the word is literally being carried into the homes of believers and non-believers alike. Each week the video crew films an adult Sabbath school class, morning worship service and special programs such as Mike and Tamara Conlan’s recent Sabbath Vesper concert.
Each Sabbath and as many week-day occasions as possible,
Russ Hoffman, director of the Riverside Church Audio-Visual Ministry, demonstrates the TV camera equipment used to videotape services of the Riverside Church.
A HOMECOMING for all present and former members of the Mira Loma Church will be held on Sabbath, September 17. A special Sabbath school and musical program are being planned. Elder Walter Blehm will be the main speaker. A fellowship dinner will be served. The church is located at 5287 Troth Street in Mira Loma.
Disaster Relief Demonstrated
Thirteen Santa Ana Spanish Pathfinders served 98 people in a mass-feeding demonstration for the National Red Cross Convention held at Claremont College on August 1.
Red Cross leaders sampled a small, but well-balanced meal such as would be provided to hundreds or thousands of people during a major disaster.

pleted a course in disaster preparedness in mass-feeding, along with their club leaders, Ernesto Rodriquez, Carlos Leon and Pastor E. Silva.
Because of their training in both preparing and distributing food, now they will be able to assist the Red Cross at a disaster scene.
Their next area of emphasis will be a course in survival.
Local Red Cross Director Dave Thorne arranged for the club to give the demonstration in Claremont, making available supplies and mass-feeding equipment. The Conference Inner City van was used.
tape player, portable TV, a film of a Sabbath service and features, Sabbath school lesson quarterlies, study Bibles and various other literature. Each person or family to be visited is called before-hand to allow time to prepare and to invite friends and neighbors to join them if they wish.
One Sabbath afternoon, a visitation team made call after call, getting no answers until only one name remained on the list. He was a lonely man, recuperating from recent surgery.
A former Baptist with no church ties to provide Christian fellowship, he was hungry for company and the Word of God and welcomed the visitation team. Others have returned and will continue to visit.
More recently, a city school teacher was visited by a team from the Riverside Church Audio-visual Ministry. A bone condition has confined the lady to bed for two years and kept her from sitting or standing. Only in recent months, two steel

rods implanted in her back for support have enabled her to walk or sit for any length of time. Now she is able to sit in a chair, viewing a film of the services and enjoying Christian fellowship during the visitation.
These are just two examples among many of the sick and lonely who had little or no contact with any church until the visitation teams reached out to them in love and Christian fellowship.
All information compiled during visitation is recorded in a book so that all needs can be met for prayer, Bibles studies, pastoral counsel and repeat visitation. This rapidly expanding Audio-visual Ministry is building a library of special feature films for local use and eventually for lending to other churches, providing sermon sound tracks from the films for rural churches that have no regular pastor.
Bible studies and commentaries on church doctrines will soon be available.
The immediate goal is to have a visitation team from the Riverside Church Audio-visual Ministry carry the Word and the Love of God into the community 365 days of the year, and they are looking ahead to see such a ministry duplicated nation-wide and eventually world-wide.

San Francisco Filipino Church
Filipinos Slate Tenth Anniversary Celebration
On September 17 the San Francisco Filipino Church will celebrate its tenth anniversary •of organization.
The celebration will begin with Sabbath school and last throughout the day.
Clarence Ekvall, MD, has been invited to speak for the day’s services. A former medical director in the Far East, Dr. Ekvall is currently with St. Helena Hospital and Health Center. E. J. Royer, secretarytreasurer of the Conference Association, will conduct the Sabbath school lesson.
Providing the music for the morning and afternoon programs will be the Leo Aloha Hawaiian Orchestra of Angwin, the San Francisco Junior Academy band under the direction of Nadine Sample, and other
musicians from the Bay Area.
Invited guests include officials from the cities of San Francisco, Daly City, and Pacifica; the staff of the Philippine Consulate of San Francisco; officers of the Central California Conference; former missionaries to the Far East; and pastors of San Francisco congregations.
A reception where native Filipino delicacies will be served will follow afternoon activities. The celebration will end with a film and social games in the evening.
Former Conference President Elmer Walde officiated when the Filipino Church was organized on September 19, 1967. The 47 charter members had been part of a Branch Sabbath School operated by the Taber-
nacle Church. Pastor R. R. Li-wag led the group.
During the years since organization, the group rented meeting facilities in several locations, never losing sight of their goal—to own their own church. Plans were made for gathering the necessary funds, benefits helped raise money, and members pledged and gave financial support. Later, the building fund was the recipient of the first Conference-wide ethnic minority church offering.
In March of 1974 a beautiful church building on a 1.5-acre lot overlooking the Pacific Ocean was purchased. With grateful hearts the Filipino Church family moved into their own home and present facility at 533 Hickey Boulevard in the Fairmont District of Pacifica.

ABC Open House Slated
September 11 has been chosen by all the Adventist Book Centers around the world for a big, special Open House celebration, and the Arizona Adventist Book Center is planning to make this event well worth attending.
In addition to food demonstrations taking place, we also will be offering a 10 per cent discount on everything in the store, with the exception of case-lot foods which will be at a special price, also.
We have received word that Worthington Foods’ prices increased September 1, but we will allow purchases at the old price through September 11. That will be the last day to save on those items.
Make your plans now to attend this Open House on September 11. Hours will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The address is 320 N. 44th Street, Phoenix.
the staff of Thunderbird Adventist Academy. Though they have retired, Elder Renschler will be assisting the pastor, Elder J. S. Henderson, in the Cottonwood-Sedona-Camp Verde district.
Pastor and Mrs. Mil ton Odom, formerly assistant pastor in the Glendale-Maryvale district, are now serving in the Kingman-Mohave Valley district.
Leaving our Conference to retire in northern California, Elder and Mrs. Melvin L. Lukens have given more than three years of dedicated leadership to one of our largest districts, Tucson Desert Valley, Santa Rita and San Manuel. We will miss the Lukenses and have appreciated their dedication to the Lord’s work in Arizona. We wish for them the Lord’s blessings in their retirement years.
Elder and Mrs. Paul Gibson, recently of the Yuma Church, take up pastoral leadership of the Tucson Desert Valley district. The Gibsons served in Yuma for 2^ years, where the

Lord blessed them with a rich ministry. We are confident that they will be blessed in this new responsibility.
Elder and Mrs. Norman Wag-ness have requested a leave of absence so he could study for an advanced degree at the School of Health, Loma Linda University. We appreciated the good work of the Wagnesses during their 7^ years of service in the Arizona Conference.
To fill the vacancy in the Show Low-Springerville-Payson district we placed a call for Pastor and Mrs. Tom Norris of the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference. The Norrises are now in the district and are leading out in Church work there.
Elder and Mrs. Gordon Paxton left Tempe to accept a call to Southern California. Elder Paxton will serve as associate pastor in the Vallejo Drive Church, Glendale. Louise Paxton was office secretary in the youth activities and communications departments during the more than 2^ years they were in the Conference. We thank the Paxtons for their dedicated leadership and efficient service. Our loss is Southern California’s gain.
Elder and Mrs. Ervin K. Thomsen of the Michigan Conference have accepted our invitation to pastor the Tempe district.
Two young families joined the pastoral staff in the early summer: Pastor and Mrs. Joe Carlson, to work in the Desert Valley district of Tucson; and Pastor and Mrs. Terry Clem, assigned to the Glendale-Maryvale district.
We bid a fond farewell to those leaving our field, and extend a most cordial welcome to the newcomers! Let us pray for each individual as he assumes his new responsibilities.

Preschool Is a Soul-winning Agency
Na Keiki O Ka Aina (the children of the land) Preschool was founded about a year ago as a soul-winning agency of the Honolulu Central Church.
In November 1976, Raymond Lau visited the nearby homes to enroll neighborhood children in the preschool. He met the George Arlantico family.
Their daughter, Jane Yara, inquired about the Seventh-day Adventist beliefs. She and her husband had relatives who were members of the Adventist Church. Their family physician, Dr. Hajime Akita, is a member of the Manoa Japanese Church.
In January, Bible studies were begun with the Yaras by Raymond Lau and Elder Law-

Special Internships Allow Students to Witness
After waterskiing, Robert and Jay sat on the beach and just talked for a couple of hours. They talked about Jesus. Robert V. Saunders, a senior theology student at La Sierra, describes the conversation as one of the more memorable occasions during his summer internship in the Glendale City Church.
Counselors in Union Meet for a Workshop
Secondary school counselors from the Pacific Union gathered at La Sierra in August for a special workshop.
During the three-day session, participants heard 20 different speakers discuss counseling activities from as many different points of view. They looked at testing, career planning, work experience programs, academic advisement, financial resources, and their own changing role, among other things.
Counselors received one hour of credit for the workshop, which was sponsored by the School of Education’s department of counselor education.
George T. Simpson, Rick Williams, and Floyd Wood were the program directors.
La Sierra religion majors Marvin Santos and Nancy Horko compare counseling methods in their office at the White Memorial Medical Center. The two students spent the summer working in the chaplain's office.

Each year more and more La Sierra students are taking advantage of summer internships with the Southern and Southeastern California conferences, which place them in jobs at churches, day camps, tutoring programs, evangelistic crusades, or hospital chaplaincy offices. While earning money for their Christian education, they are given the opportunity to witness for their Lord.
In the Southern California Conference, the Summer Youth Program is coordinated through the Office of Youth Activities. Associate Youth Director Doug Schultz says last year students made 2,400 home visits, gave 610 Bible studies, participated in 60 baptisms, and there were 56 people still studying at the end of the summer as a result of the ministry of the young people. Statistics for this year have not yet been compiled.
In the Southeastern California Conference, the Inner City department places students in special programs throughout the Conference. Inner City Director H. M. Barker says the department’s aim is to conduct long-range programs striking at the problems of the poor, teaching people to help them-

Fagal Is Named
Harold E. Fagal has been named associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
The professor of Biblical studies will continue to teach part-time in the Division of Religion in addition to his new duties of handling student academic affairs.
“Harold is very knowledgeable about the development of our curriculum,” says Dean Ivan G. Holmes. “Since he recently completed his doctorate, he knows what it is like to be a student, too, and is very effective as an advisor.”
Fagal has taught at La Sierra since 1965. He received his PhD from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1975.
selves and instilling in them a sense of self-worth. “We’re different from government social service agencies, which are designed to give temporary aid for emergency situations,” he explains.
To help meet the needs of children in Banning, two three-week tutoring sessions were held this past summer. Senior theology major James P. Rapp began working on the program plans last school year during his externship with the Banning Church under Pastor Gary L. Case.
Rapp outlined a 10-week program consisting of three integrated operations: tutoring, outreach, and follow-up. This summer he has implemented the plans with the assistance of two academy students, two college students and five volunteers.
Rapp has learned the value of Barker’s practical aim to strike at people’s needs.
“At first I didn’t want to do day camps,” he says. “I thought they were too secular. I wanted to do evangelism. But this is so rewarding. When one of the little kids told me he loved me, it took me back to second grade. And the children have given us an opening to the homes.”

Have you read and studied Counsels on Diet and Foods?
Does your own personal library contain Counsels on Diet and Foods?
As you know, 1977 has been set aside in the North American Division as Nutrition Year, so the White Estate office has prepared a revised 12-Outline Study Guide on Counsels on Diet and Foods.
Nowhere will you find the relationship between Adventist food habits and religious experience so well set forth as in the first few chapters of this book. In addition, there are certain foods which the Lord has said are of special benefit to certain diseases.
Because Counsels on Diet and Foods has been compiled topically, you can readily have specific information about protein, fat, carbohydrates, beverages, children’s diets, for example.
You will want to read and study this book, especially now that the world is becoming more and more interested in vegetarianism and Seventh-day Adventist lifestyle.
Looking at the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle without a picture to go by can be a bit bewildering.
