Dr George W Crane and Lew Sarett advocate a Plain Talk method to boost church attendance. They urge using short words for most of a 30 minute sermon, then a brief finish with vivid spot news stories and real examples from the congregation.

Education Association Attacks Ohio Legislature on School Funding

The Ohio Education Association accuses the 105th General Assembly and the Republican administration of prioritizing economy over child safety. A 10 percent cut in state funds to public schools could force use of over‑age and unsafe buses. The State Board approved the 10 percent reduction after the legislature provided 6 million for new buses versus the board’s 8.3 million request. The board will study centralized state bus purchases to lower costs for new buses.
