histvud Of r*Ual Xvirs Burkeville ( Correspondent Describes Strip Mines, Kilns At Brazil, Indiana

T Your Burkcvillo correspondent m n Brazil. Clay County. In 8‘ttia, finding the strip-mining Jfc'd brick and tile kilns interest »»■ 1 will tell you of this trip fistead of the usual news. 5 Clay county was named for Henry Clay; however, and not the B'oduct that it produces. The £’osier State has both shaft and »p coal mines. The strip mines arc most common around Brazil By the strip method, earth and rock layers are removed by giant sht.vels. which scoop away the earth and stack it one side in hills. The coal is not far below the. surface, so the shovel can be used for carrying coal. too. and it also loads the trucks right on the 'spot. When all the coal lias been cut out. the hills created are planted with pine trees, cne end of the cutaway basin closed, and the re sulting pit fills with water. This becomes a strip pit lake and a fine place to go fishing. After coal is taken out. the clay deposit under the coal is shoveled out in large chunks with steam shovels. This is a type of clay suitable for building materials and constitutes the basis of supply for numerous plants in and around Brazil. West Factor and Brazil clay produce ordinary brick used for building. Architect produces glaz TT ale and both room tile. The | jtolor depends on the clay mix., Jitenxity of heat, and lenath oi , ^Baking. A temperature of UQOO de crees is necessary to complete Jaking. Monarch and National'

China, Bethlehem and tile well known Santa Claus. 'Ilie weather is cold, clear am! crisp, but no snow.

GREATER THAN THE ATOMS TOWER...

Everyone these days talks and thinks about atomic energy. To most of us it is the most remarkable and powerful form of energy yet discovered. One of the world's outstanding scien tists does not agree. He points out that the most powerful form of energy is not mechanical. It is not electronic, or even atomic energy. It is, he says, prayer energy. This little family, then, is tapping that source of amazing power —»

whether the children utter the simple words, “Now I lay me down to sleep—” or a special prayer straight from their hearts. When you see a family united in prayer, you know it is a family united in all things. And you know, too, that the Chqrch is an important part of its life.
