Lecture - Discussion To Be Held
At Grace Lutheran Church
A lecture / discussion on fuel
and energy, in laymen's terms,
will be held on February 20, 1974,
8:00 P.M., at Grace Lutheran
Church, 400 Hempstead Avenue,
Malverne, N.Y. The speaker,
Mr. Jean Severino, a member of
Grace Church, is in his 25th year
in the Power / Energy field. After
some explanation of certain
technical terms and a review of
the various forms of energy and
power, the following conclusions
will be emphasized: While the
world's tot.al energy changes
form but remains substantially
constant, it is literally "flowing to
the oceans," where it can no
longer be of practical use.
While it took the sun millions ot
years to create the earth's coal,
oil and gas, we are using it up in
just a few centuries. Nuclear
power, geothermal power, shale
oil, and other words we hear
lately have promise, but not
without much study, work, ad-ditional
cost, and the very im-portant
technical training and
application thereof towards the
goal of meeting man's basic
needs. There is reason to hope for
the future;; there is a critical need
to hope; and, of immediate im-portance,
there is a need to an-ticipate
and accept very
significant changes in lifestyle
now, and in coming generations.
One typical change will be the
sacrificing of high power, speed
and mobility for slower, more
efficient means of energy con-sumption.
The public is invited to this
important open meeting.

Rev. William Schult is one of
the most interesting new per-sonalities
to settle here in Lyn-brook
once again. He is no
stranger to Lynbrook, U.S.A.
having known it well in the
twenties when he played at all the
leading restaurants with his own
jazz Band, The Hollywood
Serenaders. It seems rather
wonderful to know a gentleman
who was a famous friend of
Texas Guinan and a top musician
who knew Rudy Vallee and
others like Guy Lombardo and as
a fine musician moved easily in
the world of entertainment and
yet is now a compassionate "Man
of God."
Rev. Schult was born in the
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn
to the late William Carl and
Augusta. He has two sisters,
Martha and Caroline who are
widowed and live in Jacksonville,
Florida.
His son, William Carl, Jr. will
be moving to Jacksonville,
Florida after a long career in the
United States Air Force where he
did broadcasts handled Public
Relations and Press Releases for
the Corps and best enjoyed his
tour of duty in Alaska.
He and his lovely wife have a
daughter, Carol Ann, (Mrs.
Alfred E. Smith) of Cypress
Hills, another son, Donald Robert
who is a Shipper and wife
Patricia of Ozone Park, and their
daughter, Marilyn, who lives
with her parents here in Lyn-brook.
He is married to the
former Helen C. Wagner and they
live on Olive Place. She is an
excellent cook and is famed for
her sauerbraten and potato
dumplings and home made apple
pie.
Rev. Schult was ordained in
Chambers Memorial Baptist
Church in 1937 and was the
Pastor of several Brooklyn
churches and in Long Island, as
well. He has been the Director of
a Camp in Amityville for Un-derprivileged
Children and from
1946 to 1949 he was with the
Gospel Assoc. of the Blind.
He is a dynamic 5 ft. 7'/a inc.,
large boned and weighs 170 lbs.
with iron grey hair, dark brown
eyes and a neat mustache. He is
retired and working harder then
ever taking his church to the
shut-ins.
The interesting thing about
Rev. Schult is the fact that he
feels that he twice denied the call
to do God's work and was sharply
reminded of it by the amazing
experiences he had.
He is a graduate of National
Bible Institute now known as
Sheldon College and did Post-
Graduate work at the American
Bible College in Chicago.
He played in so many famed
dining spots in his youth and
when things were slow in the
summer months once took a job
in a machine shop where he lost
three fingers of his hand and this
cut short his specialty as a top
violinist although he can play all
musical instruments.
Still, he tried to work at what
he could until he developed a
strange and terrible eye infection
which caused a terrible fever
with seven doctors telling his
family that he could not last the
night. He lay in great pain and
suddenly seemed to see Jesus
with outstretched arms coming
to him in the clouds saying,
"Now, will you surrender your
life to me?" He woke up crying
and miraculously was healed and
has done his level best all these
years doing good work in the
name of God with the greatest
compassion and kindness this
writer has seen in many a day.
He belongs to the Masonic
Order and is very proud of their
charitable work all over the
country. Mayor Francis X.
Becker is a distant cousin of his
on his mother's side. Mayor
Becker appointed him to the
Board of Directors of the Nathan
Hale Senior Citizens Authority.
He is a Citizens' Volunteer
Friendly Visitor Coordinator and
visits so many shut-ins and
others in one week most of us
would have a hard time keeping
up with him.
It seems that we are very
fortunate indeed to have such a
dedicated man in our midst once
more here in Lynbrook, U.S.A.
and he is one of the most likeable
people this writer has ever in-terviewed
who is far from well
himself. God keep him active for
all those who need him.
