JUST LIvING

A middle aged man sitting on the
door steps with a thoughtiess express
sion ON his face was asked the follow
ing question: why do you sit and
sit, what are you doing?" The ready
reply was. "Just living. that is ALL"
Too many people go through the
world without seeing the beauty and
the wonderful side of life. but are
Just living. seemingly there is nothing
that they can do.
Why hot start to thinking. when
there is SO much TO be done? Ask
yourself some questions and proceed
to answer them and be surprised at
the outcome. Did you ever stop to
think what makes the planets keep
moving and what holds them on their
orbits out in the infinite space.
What causes the vapod to rise when
heat is applied to a liquid? What
causes the noise which follows an ex-
plosion, Such questions may be ask
ed by the hundreds. and still to all
these there is an answer. How won
derful IL is to be able to converse
upon such questions and give thought
to them instead Of letting them pass
unnoticed-
II seems to me there Is no better
subject that will start the young man
or woman to thinking and develop
that dormant phase OF life than the
study OF the science OF physics. In
this subject We are awakened to the
fact that these things exist and the
reasons are given in such q manner
that there is plenty OF room to expand
upon them. Start to thinking. and
when We see the effect lets get at the
cause.
