ARROW OR FALLING sToNE-CHoosE
Which would you rather resemble,
an arrow or a falling stone?
Be sure you know your reasons be-
fore you decide
The arrow goes fastest the first
part Of the distance it has to travel.
1t leaves the bow string with the
best intentions Of making straight
for the bullseye and getting there as
quickly as possible. But its speed
diminishes as it goes along, and pref
ty soon it loses its momentum and
1utters weakly to the ground.
On the contrary, falling stone
keeps travelling with ever increasing
velocity. The farther it gets from
the starting point, the faster it
goes. The greater the distance it
has to travel, the harder the bump
when it does strike the bottom.
Is your work in this voting contest
more like the flight of an arrow than
that Of falling stone? If so. don't
bank too heavily on the prizes you
will be likely to win when the con-
test is over, that is, unless you are
prepared to change and get into the
falling stone class. Some candidates
started out like an arrow with the
best intentions of hitting the bulls
eye," winning the grand prize, in
other words and at the beginning
of the campaign they worked with
great rapidity and energy, making
their standings climb higher and
higher from week to week. But
somehow as time went on, some
seemed to lose their momentum.
Each week was marked by smaller
gain in votes than the week before.
If they keep on at this rate, they
will 'iutter to the ground" before
they ever get to the prize at which
they aimed. Like the spent arrow,
they will "fall short"
On the other hand, many Of our
contestants are like the falling stone.
They began we'll, and they have
been getting results and gaining in
standing faster and faster as the
weeks flew by. They are driving
