We have all heard it said, or maybe said it ourselves, “my vote doesn’t matter, what dif-ference can one vote make.” Tuesday’s City Council Elec-

tion was decided by one vote.

Congratulations to Cassi Elliott for her victory. Al-

though voter turnout was low, only 53 people cast ballots, Cassi Elliott was the decided winner for Seat 2 of the Allen City Council,

defeating incumbent Rhonda Skelton.

Final vote was Elliott 27, Skelton 26. Voting break-down was: Allen Pontotoc

Co. Precinct – Elliott 22, Skelton 18; Allen Hughes Co. Precinct – Elliott 5, Skel-ton 8.

Elliott wins 1 Vote Victory in City Council Race

How many of you remember Wings Cigarettes? The fi rst cigarette my dad ever smoked was a Wings. At the time he was in grade school! He said he smoked them for many years because they were cheap.

Although I have never smoked or even seen a package of Wings, they are a great memory from my growing up days.

I did not know until this past week that during the war years each package of Wings came with a photo card, a small picture about 1-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches, of a warplane. On the reverse side was a descriptive sentence or two about the

plane’s airspeed, armament and so on.

Usually the photo card was discarded along with the cigarette package but some built up a small collection of cards showing British, Ger-man, Japanese and Russian airplanes.

The makers of Wings, the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., issued the cards in conjunction with its sponsorship of the radio program Wings of Destiny.The company was a sub-sidiary of corporate giant British American Tobacco, so Wings was sold in Europe as well.

Wings . . . another great memory from the good old days.

—CC—Speaking of memories

. . . Remember the roads of the not-too-distant past and those leisurely rides through the country in your roomy DeSoto?

Ah, those country roads – those narrow two-laners that jostled us with potholes and slowed us down with hairpin curves and an endless procession of small towns. As we came around a bend, a small town in sight, speed limits dropped from 45 to 35 to 25, even 15 mph if school-children were around. Then, before we could say “25, 35, 45”, we were breezing across the countryside again, sooner or later to be held up behind a tractor pulling a hay wagon through a no-passing zone.

All the same, the pace of the country road was pleas-ant. Remember how the telephone poles whispered to us as we rolled along absorbing all that we could through a car window? And one thing we didn’t mind slowing down for was a little roadside rhyme, courtesy of Burma-Shave.

For more than three de-cades, Burma-Shave signs were a welcome source of

roadside amusement, as well as a stroke of advertising

genius. For those who don’t remember them, they were a series of small road signs that unfolded a clever rhyme or a jaunty jingle to advertise shaving cream.

The man behind the signs was Allan Odell of Min-neapolis, Minnesota. Exas-perated as a traveling sales-man, Odell glimpsed his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow on a road between Aurora and Joliet, Illinois. He happened to drive by a set of small signs advertis-ing a nearby gas station and leading him directly to the station’s front door. Why not sell shaving cream that way, though Odell. So, in 1926, with a set of experimental signs lining a highway out-side of Minneapolis, he put Burma-Shave on the road to becoming a national brand.Atfirstthesignsweresim-

ply advertisements: SHAVE THE MODERN WAY / FINE FOR THE SKIN / DRUGGISTS HAVE IT / BURMA-SHAVE. As the signs became more numer-ous, they also became more humorous: FOR PAINTING / COWSHED / BARN OR FENCE / THAT SHAV-ING BRUSH / IS JUST IM-MENSE. The rise of com-petitive brands of shaving

cream and the introduction of the electric razor inspired this suggestion: GIVE THE GUY / THE TOE OF YOUR BOOT / WHO TRIES / TO HAND YOU / A SUBSTI-TUTE FOR / BURMA-SHAVE. Romantic rhymes played with the allure of a clean-shaven face: HE HAD THE RING / HE HAD THE FLAT / BUT SHE FELT HIS CHIN / AND THAT / WAS THAT.

Public safety messages appeared in 1935: DON’T TAKE A CURVE / AT 60 PER / WE HATE TO LOSE / A CUSTOMER. Clever spoofs prompted many a driver to be more attentive: AT INTERSECTIONS / LOOK EACH WAY / A HARP SOUNDS NICE / BUT IT’S HARD TO PLAY. Some of the public service jingles extended beyond the highway. Smokey Bear must have been pleased with: MANY A FOREST / USED TO STAND / WHERE A / LIGHTED MATCH / GOT OUT OF HAND.

Each rhyme was presented, a line at a time, on four or five signs positioned about30 yards apart, and each wasfollowedbyafinalsignbearing the Burma-Shave

logo. Such a presentation proved to be very effective advertising; it held the at-tention of its audience as motorists invariable slowed down to read the verses. Furthermore, the appealing little replayed themselves in the minds of their readers, much like a favorite song. They provided relief, amuse-ment and, often, a moment of expectant joy as a youngster awaited his turn to read the next group of signs to fellow passengers.

An endless supply of new jingles was ensured by a yearly contest awarding $100 to each writer whose lines were selected for road-side use. Between 1926 and 1963, over 7,000 sets of Bur-ma-Shave signs graced the nation. While the size and color of the signs changed from time to time, the humor remained the same:

1930: HALF A POUND / FOR HALF A DOLLAR / AT THE DRUG STORE / SIMPLY HOLLER / BUR-MA SHAVE

1940: HE’S THE BOY / THE GALS FORGOT / HIS LINE / WAS SMOOTH / HIS CHIN WAS NOT

1950: VIOLETS ARE BLUE / ROSES ARE PINK / ON GRAVE / OF THOSE / W H O D R I V E A N D DRINK

1960: BEN / MET ANN / MADE A HIT / NEGLECT-ED BEARD / BEN-ANNA SPLIT

Although Burma-Shave signs have yielded now to flashier billboards and neon displays, their road-side rhymes live on in the memories of many. As for advertising, no gimmick lasts forever; few have lasted as long. Fortunately, road signs are not the only way to sell shaving cream: OUR FOR-TUNE / IS YOUR / SHAV-EN FACE / IT’S OUR BEST / ADVERTISING SPACE / BURMA-SHAVE.

Some of us are critical of our fellow man no matter what he does. I heard some-one say (it wasn’t me, hon-est!) Sunday morning that they wished all these people would come to church every Sunday. Well, that’s an eter-nal thought I guess, since I’ve been hearing it all my life. But there was a hint of criticism in the statement. However, by now and at my age, I’m just glad to see ‘em there at all. Easter is a time of hope and quest and you could see it in the faces of worshipers last Sunday morning as they celebrated the resurrection of Jesus and expectation of their own re-birth to eternal life. A guy named Voltaire, a man never known to be very kind in his remarks about preachers and such once said: “The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.”

Easter Sunday was also

the day the NCAA sched-uled my Sooner girls to play in the Sweet Sixteen in Oklahoma City. So it was after church Sunday we headed the car NW to-wards downtown Oklahoma City and the Chesapeake Energy Arena—where the girls were to meet and play Tennessee to see who ad-vanced to Tuesdays game with the supposed winner of the Baylor-Louisville game (Baylor of course). The OU game was a mess. The shorthanded Sooners team of 8 was quickly reduced to seven by a well-timed trip that sent Morgan Hook crashing to the hardwood facefirst.Iwaitedforfreeshots and perhaps an ejec-tion as they dragged her semi-conscious body off. But no foul was called giv-ing me a hint as to how the refereeing might be going. Hook was said to have suf-

fered a concussion as the already reeling Sooners struggled on. Ticket hold-ers along with Sherry Coale watched and waited in vain forNicoleGriffintoinvolveherself in the melee but she remained on the court only as a spectator.

The girls were lucky to get by with only a 15 point loss as the fans resorted to wondering about how bad it was going to be for Lou-isville on the second bill. Brittney Grinner wandered around the arena during the OU game giving interviews and posing with Kevin Du-rant and in general being the center of celebrity attention. When the Louisville women came in they were largely ignored and looked a little pitifulandinsignificantsit-ting down on the far in by their little band—waiting their turn to be slaughtered by the Grinner.

The Louisville band lived up to expectations, which were very low, but their women came to make a statement as they limited Grinner to about 2 buckets thefirsthalf.Baylorhaditcarried to them and in spite of a furious comeback at-tempt lost the game on a controversial referee call at the end. I still am not sure just how Baylor managed to lose that game but on a cheerier note, that’s the last

we’ll have to see of Britt-ney—who just might be the best woman’s basketball player I have ever seen.

Lastly, we are getting some good rain—something we ought to appreciate. Climatologists tell us the summer will be hot and dry and if we don’t start off with more water in our lakes than what we have, there will be

some hard times this sum-mer. I enjoy hearing from readers and continue to be surprised at who and where they are. People who are from Allen seem to be ev-erywhere and they read the newspapers.

Be sure and have a good weekend and go to church Sunday.

Are you a real Christian? Did you answer, “Yes?” Did you say that you went to church on Easter and Christ-mas? Or, maybe you replied that you went to church every week! Maybe you are a leader in the church or a Bible teach-er! Does being a member of a church or attending church prove you are a Christian?

There is no doubt, if I am a Christian, I will keep the rituals and faithfully attend worship. If I do not, how can I claim to be a Christian? If I do not, how can I claim to have faith in Jesus and how can I claim to keep thefirstcommandment of loving God with “all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matt 22:37) Didn’t Jesus command us to “love one another; as I have loved

you,” and say, “By this all will know that you are My disciples.” (John 13:34-35)

A Christian is one who truly loves as did Jesus! If I am not like Jesus – if I do not love others and do not do as did Jesus, how can I claim to be a Christian? If we truly love God above all and if we truly have faith in Jesus, will it not be seen by our actions? If I do not love others enough to sacrificethatothersmightbesaved, how can I claim to be like the onewho sacrificedHis life to save me? Jesus had one goal in coming to earth. It was to do the Father’s will. He said, “I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” (John 6:38) If I am like Jesus – a Christian – will it not be my goal to love God above all things and to do as He has commanded?

Surely, the proof of being a Christian is being like the Christ; loving as He loved and demonstrating that love by doing as He did! Didn’t Jesus say, “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?”(Luke 6:46)

The Allen Lady Mustangs saw their extended break from softball extended a little longer.

Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS girls watched their scheduled Tuesday game at Stratford erased due to spring showers. The wet weather on Monday evening and intoTuesdaymay the fieldunplayable for the two varsity opponents.

Allen missed out on playing in the annual Stonewall softball tournament last weekend. In that case, weather was not the problem.

“We were supposed to play in the Stonewall tournament but won’t be going down there,” said Coach Strong earlier. “We have a numbers problem and don’t have enough to be in that tournament. We have several different things the girls are attending and also have the parent-teacher conference. So we’ll just use the time to practice as much as we can with the girls we have available right now.”

The Lady Mustangs came off the missed tournament with plays to visit Stratford on Tuesday. That was to be the long-awaited return to softball competition. Soggyfieldconditionsmadethatan impossible option.

The Allen girls have played only one game since March 16. Coach Strong will send the Lady Mustangs back into action April 5 to play at Stuart. It will be the only game on this week’s docket. However, AHS will get busy next week with a pair of games on Monday, April 8. The Lady Mustangs will host Vanoss and Maud in a 3-team event at Allen.

On Tuesday, Allen will go to Stratford to face the Lady Bulldogs in varsity play.

Coach Strong will then take the Allen softball squad to Moss on April 11 to compete in a 3-day tournament.

All the dates mentioned above are, of course, contingent on the weather cooperating over the next few days.

The Allen Mustangs found a way to beat the Tupelo Tigers Monday afternoon in dramatic fashion. Trail-ing 7-1 in the sixth inning, Coach Stephen Caldwell was running out of time – and running out of pa-tience.

“We had not hit the ball all game,” the Mustang skipper said. “We had been offfourorfivedaysandittook a while for our bats to wake up. But we came up in the bottom of the sixth inning and got hot at the right time.”

Down by 6 runs, Tommy Peay doubled to open the sixth inning. Matt McCarn then doubled to drive home Peay. The 2-base knock made it a 7-2 game. Con-ner Johnson then followed with a clutch base hit to chase home McCarn for a 7-3 game. Thirkiel Wedlow reached on an error to put two runners on base. Tre’ Stick followed with a single to load the bases.

“We were down 7-3 when our 7-hole hitter came to the plate,” said Coach Caldwell. “There was one out and I was thinking about having him bunt on a squeeze play. But, luckily, I decided not to go with the squeeze play.”

Nick Wallen hits in the seventh spot in the Mus-tang lineup. He was given the ‘green light’ to swing his bat. Wallen made the coach look real smart with his at-bat. Wallen smacked a 1-out home run over the fence in right-centerfield.The timely blast drove home Johnson, Wedlow, Stick

and Wallen to deadlock the score at 7-7.

“He saved us,” an emo-tional Coach Caldwell said of Wallen. “It was a big-time home run when we really needed one.”

Allen and Tupelo were all even at 7-7 heading into the seventh inning. There was still work to be done to turn the ‘save’ into a victory. Re-lief pitcher Conner Johnson did his part. He went out on the mound and provided a second consecutive inning of shutout relief. Johnson didn’t allow the Tigers a hit or a run in his 2-inning stint.

“Conner performed like a senior,” praised Coach Caldwell. “He got Tupelo out in the top of the seventh. Itwasnowuptoustofindaway to score in the bottom of the seventh.”

Tommy Peay ignited the comeback bid. The fresh-man standout reached base on an infield hit.TheTu-pelo third baseman made a diving stop on the ball. However, Peay hoofed it outtofirstbaseforaleadoffsingle. Matt McCarn then attemptedasacrificebunttomove Peay to second base. Tupelo misplayed the bunt and McCarn was safe at firstbase.Conner Johnsonthen attempted a sacrificebuntbutalsoarrivedatfirstsafely.

Thirkiel Wedlow stepped up to the plate with a chance to be a hero. Instead of at-tempting a bunt, Wedlow blistered a line drive to the shortstop.

“Their shortstop couldn’t handle the line drive,”

recalls Coach Caldwell. “Tommy Peay was able to score on the play to give us the 8-7 win.”

The offensive hero was Nick Wallen with a 3-for-3 showing that included his grand slam home run in the sixth inning.

Tommy Peay was also a clutch performer with a 3-for-4 performance that in-cluded a triple, two singles and two runs scored.

The 9-hit Allen attack also included an RBI double by Matt McCarn, an RBI single by Conner Johnson and a single by Mr. Mustang Tre’ Stick.

“I am proud of all of them for this comeback win,” said Coach Caldwell. “But I am especially proud of Tre’ Stick for his guts and de-termination. He is the heart and soul of this team. He was coming off that injury and he’s out there playing second base, basically on one leg. But he gives you everything he has and he finds away to get the jobdone.”

Allen used three pitch-ers in the win over Tupelo. Tommy Peay started and worked 4 innings before being replaced. Peay sur-rendered 3 runs on 2 hits, 2 walks and hit 3 batters. Peay recorded 7 strikeouts during his stint.

Nick Wallen was called in to replace Peay on the hill. Wallen worked 1 in-ning and allowed 4 runs, 2 hits, 3 walks and hit 1 bat-ter. He did not record any strikeouts.

Conner Johnson took the mound in the sixth in-ning.Heworkedthefinal2

frames. Johnson did not allow a run or a hit. He walked 3 batters and struck out 2.

“Conner was the winning pitcher,” said Coach Caldwell. “This senior settled down and took control and brought us back. It was a big win for him and a big win for us against a good, solid Tupelo team. We showed what we can do when we play the kind of baseball we are capable of playing.Tupelotooka3-0leadinthefirstinning.TheTigersled

3-1 after three innings and 7-1 going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That’s when the Mustangs hit stride and galloped to the 8-7 victory.

Coach Caldwell wasn’t so lucky against Mother Nature. Two of the three AHS recent games were washed out by heavy rainfall.

Allen was scheduled to visit the Vanoss Wolves last Friday.

“We couldn’t go,” he said. “The game was rained out.”After Monday’s thrilling 8-7 win over Tupelo, Allen was

slated for a diamond showdown against theStephen Caldwell’s Mustangs closed the stretch this past

Monday with a run-rule victory over the visiting Stratford Bulldogs. However, Mother Nature soaked the Allen High Field and washed away the planned meeting.

Score it Mother Nature 2, Allen 1.Looking ahead, Allen will play in the Stuart Hornet tour-

nament on Thursday, weather permitting. The Mustangs are scheduled to meet the Hartshorne Miners in a 4:30 p.m. contestattheSHSfield.

“It is a 3-day tournament,” said Coach Caldwell. “We are planning to be there all three days. I think we have a good chance to win the tournament if we play the baseball we are capable of playing.”

On Monday, Allen is slated for an afternoon home game against the visiting Roff Tigers.

Summer is coming and there will be many school groups and other tourists visiting Washington, D.C. This story is about one group who made that trip during Easter vacation one year.

They stopped at the Iwo Jima Memorial. It is one of the largest bronze statues in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in history—that of the six brave soldiers raising the American Flag at the top of a rocky hill on the island of Iwo Jima, Japan during WWII. Students and chaperones piled off the buses and headed towards the memorial. There was s solitary figureatthebaseofthestatueand as the group got closer, he asked, ‘Where are you guys from?’ It was James Bradley who was in Washington to speak at the Memorial the next day.

He said, ‘My name is James Bradley and my dad is on that statue and I just wrote a book called Flags of Our Fathers. It is the story of the six boys you see on the statue.

‘Six boys raised the flag. Thefirstguyputtingthepole

in the ground is Harlon Block. Harlon was an all-state football player. He enlisted in the Ma-rine Corps with all the senior members of his football team. They were off to play another type of game. A game called War. But it didn’t turn out to be a game. Harlon, at the age of 21, died with his intestines in his hands.’

He pointed to the next guy. ‘That’s Rane Gagnon from New Hampshire. If you took Rene’s helmet off at the mo-ment this photo was taken and looked in the webbing of that helmet,youwouldfindapho-tograph of his girlfriend. Rane was 18 years old.

‘The third guy in this tableau, was Sergeant Mike Strank. He was the hero of all these guys. They called him the old manbecause he was already 24. When Mike would motivate his boys in training camp, he would say, ‘You do what I say and I’ll get you home to your mothers.’

‘The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona. He is one of them who lived to walk off Iwo Jima. He later went to the White House and met Presi-dent Harry Truman. President

Truman told him, ‘You’re my hero. Hayes said, ‘How can I feel like a hero when 250 of my buddies hit the island with me and only 27 of us walked off alive?’ That was Ira Hayes, he had images of horror in his mind. Ira Hayes carried the pain home with him and eventually died dead drunk, face down, drowned in a very shallow puddle, at the age of 32.

‘The next guy, going round the statue is Franklin Sousley from Hill Top, Kentucky, a fun-loving hillbilly boy. Frank-lin died on Iwo Jima at the age of 19.

‘The next guy, as we contin-ue around the statue is my dad, John Bradley. He lived until 1994 but he would never give interviews. He did not want to talk to the press. You see, he did not think of himself as a hero. He was a medic. On Iwo Jima, he probably held over 200 boys as they died. And when boys died on Iwo Jima, they writhed and screamed, without any medication to help with the pain.

So that is the story about six young boys. Three died on Iwo Jima, and three came back as national heroes. Overall, 7000 boys died on Iwo Jima. It was the worst battle in the history of the Marine Corps.

Suddenly the monument wasn’t just a big old piece of metalwithaflagstickingoutof the top. It came to life with the heartfelt words of a son who did indeed have a father who was a hero. Maybe not a hero for the reasons most people would believe, but a hero nonetheless.

If you go to Washington, D. C. this summer and look at the stature very closely and count the number of hands raising theflag,thereare13.Whentheman who made the statue was asked why there were 13, he simply said the 13th hand was the hand of God.

Call Harold for Onions! What a wonderful holiday

Easter is! A day to celebrate the risen Savior and the new beginning He made possible! Rev. Karch brought a mes-sage about Jesus’ resurrection at the Sunrise Service. It was moved indoors because of the rainy weather, but the Karches had done a great deal of work planting flowers and gettingthe water garden and fountains in operation so you will want to go out and see it all.

By the way, this is a good op-portunity to thank the Karches in print for all the work they do in our church and community. What is more, I’m sure they do much more work than most of us know.

There was a big crowd at the 11:00 worship service, and it was good to see both old and new friends there. Little Olivia

Stapp opened the service by reading Matthew 28:6. Then RayLynn Karch sang “Jesus Loves Me.” They brought to mind the scripture, “and a little child shall lead them.”

We were blessed with three music specials this Sunday, and together they brought the gospel message in song. Tom Spillman sang about the cru-cifixionof Jesus in his song,“The Scarlet Purple Robe;” Joyce Searcy’s song, “The Son Rose,” was about that Sunday morning when the women found the empty tomb; and Jake Hammonds continued the story with “He’s Alive!

Rev. Karch’s message was from Luke 23:13-43 and He-brews 9:11-28. Even if the crowds had not demanded his crucifixion, Jesuswas boundto go to that cross because it

was written in scripture that it would have to be. From the veryfirstbookoftheBibleithad taken blood sacrifice toatone for sin.

Jesus went through extreme suffering and then endured the same horrible death on the cross as the two thieves whose crosses were on either side of Him. WithoutJesussacrific-ing his own blood we would still need to sacrifice certainanimals for the redemption of our sins.

Man couldn’t kill the Son of God; He gave his life on that cross.ItisfittingthatonEasterwe stand in awe of Jesus, who sacrificedhis ownblood androse victorious over sin and death once and for all. It is also fittingthataftertheEasterser-vices we observed the Lord’s Supper together.

Easter Sunday was a beauti-ful day. We had rain the night before and we thank God. We worshiped Him this Sunday and give Him praise for giv-ing us His Son to die on the cross.

The church quartet sang “For God So Loved!” This was a song they sang at the Good Fri-day service with the Ministrial

Atwood FBC News

Alliance from Holdenville. In this program we listened to seven different preachers from the surrounding churches talk about the “Seven Words from the Cross.” It was certainly a blessing. Our other special for the day was sang by Pam Cantrell and entitled “Rise Again.”

We had a visiting evangelist Mike Adams from Florida

preach today. His message inspired us to do more for the Lord in the coming days.

We will be having our annual Bake Sale and Garage Sale this Saturday, April 6 from 8-2. This money will be used for our youth of the church.

We invite everyone to at-tend.

Atwood Nazarene News

The Easter Service at Har-mony Missionary Baptist Church of Gerty began with singing The Love Of God, In The Garden, and He Lives.

Devotional Reading was “A Word of Warning”, Genesis 6:3-7. Adult Lesson was “Wit-ness With The Word”, Acts 13:14-51. God clearly reveals the way of salvation in the scriptures. Base your witness son God’s word. “The word of the Lord was published throughout the region”, Acts 13:49.

Youth Lesson was “The Death of Prejudice”, James 2:1-13. Because of Christ in us, we have the ability to treat all people equally. Memory verse: James 2:8, “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.”

Christ Arose, Because He Lives, and Gone were sung before the morning message. Bro. David’s message was “The Resurrection of Jesus”,

Matthew 28:1-10. Matthew 28:10, “Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid; go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee and there shall they see me.

It is a blessing to hear Kim’s little Kenzi in service. Kenzi

has a smile for everyone and doesn’t see a stranger. We are blest and thankful for praying that Sister Barbara’s knee sur-gery is a success on Wednes-day.

We pray you have a good week and may God bless you!

Stephanie & Gary Exchange Vows on Allen Playground

Recently,VIP,anon-profitorganizationcalledthe“Victim’sImpact Panel” visited Allen High School with a presentation about the dangers of Drinking and Driving. The volunteer speakers of the panel all shared videos, slideshows and their own personal stories of losing family members to drunk driving.

The presentation by VIP covered a range of topics from prevention, dealing with grief, consequences of those who are at fault, and many other topics. Paul Scroggins, Princi-pal of Allen High School, invited the panel to speak to the students this year to raise awareness about the dangers of driving impaired.

Spencer Cody, music teacher at Allen, was in attendance and had this to say, “I admire so much the bravery of the volunteers on the panel. The speakers revisited their own personal tragedies, some very recent and some two decades gone, and it is so clear to see just how painful it was for each speaker to bring up those memories so that our students could learn and be safer. I think the message was well received, as at the end of the presentation each speaker talked about just how great and supportive our students were. I am very proud of how seriously the whole assembly was for a lesson that could save many lives, and we would like to thank each speaker again.”
