Week-end Guest
GUESTS HERE
Fire of unknown origin, which
started in a room in the basement and swept upward before
It was detected, destroyed the
Ritz theater on Main street in
Watervliet with an estimated
loss of 140,000 to $50,000 early
Tuesday evening.
The theater, which was Watervliet's only showhouse, was completely gutted by the flames despite
the efforts of Watervliet and Coloma
firemen who laid lines on all sides
of the cement block structure.
Employes were preparing to
open the show at 7 o'clock when
thp fire was discovered. The
owner, Michael Spadafore, attempted to put out the fire with
extinguishers and was reported
to have had the flames checked
at the source, but they were
again discovered in a ventilator.
Built Seven Years
Although the building was of cement block construction the seats
and the ceiling povided ample fuel
for the flames, which rapidly burned
through the roof and crept forward
to the entrance. The theatre was
built seven years ago.
Projection room equipment, impossible to get today, was saved because of its fire proof construction,
and the fact that projection slots
automatically close when the temperature reaches 120 degrees.
Coloma's f i r e department was
called, and one truck was dispatched to the scene, arriving at
7:45 p. m.. a n hour before the
flames were halted. The Coloma
department attached its pumper
to a hydrant across the street
from the rear of the building,
and in a short time was attacking
part of the interior wfth water.
Flames and smoke spiraled upward, and were visible for two miles,
attracting a large crowd!
Watervliet police detoured all traffic on U3-12 around the scene of the
fire, and were successful In keeping
watchers at a safe distance.
Mrs. C. C. Alguire and her daughter, Mrs. Ethel Kilmark, who operates
the Loma theater here, expressed

Friday night entered the Watts-Mobiloil station at Church and St. J o seph streets and made way with an
undertermined amount of money.
Teh robbery was discovered the

believed the amount of change taken
would amount to about $25.
At a dinner meeting held Monday
evening at Mykloma Tea Room by
members of the Coloma school faculty, with their wife, husband or
friend, Mrs. Bertha Woodward informally announced her marriage on
Saturday evening, May 18 to Hugo
Van Draseck of Watervliet.
The marriage was solemnized
a t Indianapolis, Ind. Attendants
were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stewart of Watervliet.
Monday night's party was intended as a farewell to Mrs.
Woodward who is retirins: from
the teaching staff as school closes this week. The group presented Mr. and Mrs. VanDraseck
with a lovely gift and the best
• wishes of the teaching staff.
29 Years Teacher
As Mrs. Woodward bids adieu to
Coloma school this week she will
have completed 28 consecutive years
of teaching in Coloma. And into
those 28 years she has given the best
years of her life to boys and girls
who have passed through the Coloma
school system.
Beginning in 1917, Mrs. Woodward
taught both the 7th and 8th grades.
In 1922 when the school building
became overcrowded, the 8th grade
was moved into a room at the State
Bank building and there Mrs. Woodward taught for eight years.
During this period, she built a little school almost complete in itself,
developing man extra curricular activities for students under her care.
Manual arts, domestic science, music
and an annual 8th grade commencement were Included In her program.
With the occupancy of the new
school in 1930 and under the
new program set u p by Supt. W.
L. Alwood, Mrs. Woodward became head of the Junior high department which includes 6th, 7th,
and 8th grade pupils. Here aagin,
as In all her years of teaching
she has done the highest type of
work, according to other teachers.
Mrs. Woodward has served for 29
years, a group of students who are,
perhaps, because of their ages, the
hardest in the entire school system
to deal with. Superintendent Alwood, in an interview on the subject this week, stated his high regard for her work, saying that her
technique has had a stabllzing and
steading Influence for this age group
and that much praise and credit is
due the contribution which Mrs.
Woodward has given Coloma boys
and girls.
It was largely through her efforts
that the Coloma Parent Teacher association was organized in 1921.

NEED FOR REPAIR
ON PAW PAW LAKE
ROAD IS VOICED
Improvements costing many
thousands of dollars have been
completed or are under way at
Paw Paw Lake and Little Paw
Paw Lake where business men
who cater to the resort trade are
expecting one of the best years
in the history of the area.
Although the tourist and resort
season does not usually get under
way until after Memorial Day, resorters already are coming to the
section, and many requests for future
reservations are being received.
With travel limited during the
war years, persons in metronolltan areas this year are expecting
to hit the highways and visit r e sort areas in record-making
numbers.
Mindful of the need to make the
stay for resorters as pleasant as possible in order to get repeat business,
there has been extensive construction and remodeling. A dark cloud
on the otherwise bright horizon is the
bad condition of the P a w P a w Lake
Voad which serves as the main artery
for resort traffic.
Road Repair Vital
P a w P a w Lake business men
are appealing to the Berrien
County Road Commission to
patch u p the road and make
needed improvements in this important highway before the r e sort rush is on. The road haa
long been too narrow for the volume of traffic, and at present it
is bumpy and cracked.
At the Ellinee, popular north end
resort mecca, Ernest C. Erickson,
who has made extensive Improvements, said, "This should be the best
year so far If we can obtain m e r chandise and transportation ceases to
be a problem."
Lawrence A. Blahnik, of Rose Cottages, who has repainted and remodeled his resort throughout declared,
"Guests start arriving J u n e 1, but
even now we are booking most of
our J u l y reservations."
At Club Rocadero, Tony BertncI, is
expecting a big season, and haa r e modeled and installed a new bar,
chairs, tables and
refrigeration
equipment.
Ed Vollrath, at Ed's Cafe, pointed
out the outlook is even better f o r
this year than in 1945. He has painted and made general Improvements,
and already is getting week-end
trade.
At Leiberman C a m p Zahavo, Mrs.
G. Dubow stated, "We have built
five new cabins and repainted former
ones In prospect of a heavy season."
Mr. and Mrs. Amll Smazlk, at Smazik's resort, report more reservations
than ever before, and guests are a r riving already. Extensive remodeling
and painting has been completed.
W. A. Coss, of Hazel Woods' restaurant, expects the 1946 trade to be
double that of last year, and has
built a 40 by 18 foot addition to care
for forthcoming business.
Fred Kaplan, of the Hotel Sherman, also Is expecting large crowds,
and has been making Improvements
for the comfort and entertainment
of guests.
Steve Bearty, of t h e Roller Rink,
has improved his place of business
in anticipation of one of the b e l t
seasons in history.
Strong's hotel, one of the oldest
resorts on the "big lake," Is making
improvements in expectation of a
profitable season.
Robert Storick at Little P a w P a w
Lake, already is booking reservations
for August, and is expecting big
crowds because the war is over and
boys h a v e returned. The Storick
cottages and hotel have been completely repainted inside and out.
J o h n H m s k a , of Pleasant View
Beach, has done a complete remodeling job at his resort and has i n stalled equipment seldom seen outside of metropolitan areas to care
for the heavy volume of business
expected in 1946.
At Wil-O-Paw Inn, Mr. and Mrs.
John Segal, of Detroit, t h e new owners, have redecorated throughout,
and are expecting a big year.
Edward Meehl, of Meehl's tavern,
is expecting the biggest crowds in
history, and has remodeled and r e decorated generally.

before Justice A. W. Baker, J r . Saturday.
That evening Deputy Verne Hauch
picked Rhinehart up near Crystal
Palace, and charged him with driving 60 miles an hour in a 25-mile-anhour zone.

Rhinehart up, this time on charges
of reckless driving, exceeding the
speed limit, and crowding cars off
the highway.

of $5.75 to the speeding charge, and
a fine of $25 and costs of $5.75 to

what men a r e living and striving
for in o^r day. It Is going to seem
a bit strange, but it will be very
salutary to stress once again the
eternal truth, best s u m m a r i z e d by
our Lord J e s u s when he said, "A

abundance of the things which he
possesseth" (Luke 12:15).

a completely independent republic.
When all t h e a n c i e n t disputes w e r e
settled, the s t a t e adopted the constitution of the United States a n d
w a s admitted a s the 14th state—the
first to be added to the original 13.

governor of t h a t s t a t e , vice presid e n t and P r e s i d e n t of the United
States.
Calvin Coolidge died in 1933, and
now sleeps in the sidehill c e m e t e r y
a t P l y m o u t h beneath a severely
simple stone. "Silent C a l " was cons i d e r e d a typical Vermonter, a
h o m e s p u n person who appealed
strongly to all people.
The rich man increased in selfishness as he increased in wealth. He
began to feel secure because he had
laid up m u c h goods. Now he bec a m e proud and boastful.
He
thought he saw y e a r s of comfort
and ease ahead. Evidently he had
not read, or did not believe, the
words of Scripture, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow: for thou knowest
not what a day may bring forth"
(Prov. 27:1; see also J a m e s 4:1317).
Well, can a m a n depend on
riches? The answer is no. They
a r e here today and gone tomorrow.
Man himself Is here today and gone
tomorrow. When he goes, he leaves
all that he has unless he has invested it for God.
Money is like a broken reed. The
man who leans on it will not only
fall, but will pierce himself through
with m a n y sorrows (I. Tim. 6:9, 10).
Don't depend on riches—they will
miserably fail you in your hour of
need.
II. Beware of the Snare of Richer
(18:24-27).
The rich young ruler had come
running to J e s u s to seek eternal life,
but had turned away sorrowful
when he found that a man cannot
love money and love God at the
same^ time.
Jesus Improved the opportunity to
point out that it is impossible for a
rich man to be saved, except as the
grace of God gets hold of him and
sets him free from dependence on
his wealth.
Apart f r o m the grace of God, it
is so easy for a rich man or woman
to trust In riches, and to feel no
need of God.
Look again a t I Timothy 6:9, 10
and you will see that even the desire to be rich leads a m a n Into a
temptation and a s n a r e . The m a n
of God is warned to "flee these
things; and follow a f t e r righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
m e e k n e s s , " and thus to be able to
"flght the good fight of f a i t h " (I Tim.
6:11,
12).
We repeat that all this has a
strange sound to modern ears, so
accustomed to the worldly philosophy of trust in things and In dollars. We need to warn our young
men and women about the awful
danger of loving money.
There is something infinitely better than riches, and that Is what we
find in our next point.
III. Seek True Riches in Christ (18:
28-30).
Peter and the other disciples had
forsaken all the things of the world
to follow Christ, and now as he reminds the Lord of that fact, he receives the a s s u r a n c e t h a t there is
a higher level of riches and reward
for the loyal disciple.
God will never be in debt to anyone. T h e r e is no sacrifice m a d e
for his glory which does not find Its
glorious recompense, and no burden borne for his s a k e which does
not bring its rich reward.
All this Is not the result of some
kind of a " d e a l " with God. We do
not serve him because we expect a
r e w a r d , but the a s s u r a n c e of the reward is there to encourage and s p u r
us on in life and service for him.
The fact Is, spiritual currency h a s
f a r higher value than the gold and
silver of this world.
IV. Ask Christ io Deliver Ton
F r o m Riches (19:1-10).
Zacchaeus was a man well versed
in the devious ways of the extortioner. Ho knew money, and how
to m a k e It. But he was not satisfied. He knew there was something
m o r e worth while than riches. His
life was empty.
He sought Jesus, One look f r o m
the M a s t e r and he knew that h e
must lay his sinful h e a r t open before him in confession. Salvation
c a m e to Zacchaeus that day.
Here, then, is the way to be delivered from the s n a r e of r i c h e s take J e s u s Christ as your Saviour
and Lord.
He may then e n t r u s t
riches to your c a r e to use for him,
but he will deliver you f r o m a
love for gold and f r o m the folly of
putting your trust in it.
The person who lives for riches
Is lost (v. 10), c a u g h t in a s n a r e
(I Tim. 6:9, 10), t r u s t i n g in something that will fail him when most
needed (Luke 12:19, 20), and trusting something which will keep h i m
f r o m God (Luke 18:24-27), unless
there Is grace to flee f r o m it and t u r n
to God.
