Great Early Teacher

Zoroaster was one of the great
teachers of the East and founder Of
what might be called the national re-
ligion of the PersO-Iranian people, that
is, speaking generally, the Persians.
When he lived and taught is not eX-
actly known, but it is held that it was
between the years 1000 B. c. and 600
B. c. He taught a dualism of power,
one good and the other evil. Light
represented the former and darkness
the latter. AS corruption grew up the
sun became wOrshiped as the great
source of light and, therefore, Of all
good.

New Castle County Pays the Owners
Whose Birds Were Victims of Dogs
Checks totaling $455 in payment for
50 turkeys, killed during the last few
weeks by stray dogs, were mailed to
eleven persons last week by James
F. McIvOr, deputy clerk of the peace
in charge Of the clerical work of the
Levy Court Payment by the county
for turkeys killed by dogs was auth
orized by a law passed at the last
session of the Legislature.
The law stipulates that turkey own
ers shall be reimbursed for the loss
of their fowls by dogs from the dog
tax proceeds collected in the rural dis
tricts of the county. AS almost all of
the dog tax has been expended in this
manner, it is unlikely the county will
be in a position to pay any more
claims for turkeys during the re-
mainder Of the present fiscal year.
The checks sent out by Mr.. McIvor
follow:
Blanches R. Batten, Middletown, /

Where A-e We Going7

The general assembly Of the Pres

settling the controversy between the
fundamrntalists and the modernists
The assembly voted that a prere-
quisite Of ordination as a minister
shall Be acceptance Of the virgin
birth principle.
Meanwhile. the issues are being
drawn at the trial Of a young high
school instructor in Dayton, Tenn,
for violating a new state law that
prohibits the teaching Of Darwinism.
There are fundamental things on
which there can be no compromise.
These two issues that have forced
their way to public attention come
under that category.
Scientists say you can be an evo-
lutionist without having a monkey

the Darwin theory Of the origin Of
life led by William J. Bryan contend
that if you believe in evolution, you
have to accept the orang outang as

/ There is some arrogance and in
tolerance on both sides. There is
no prospect Of either coming to the
others point Of view.
On the one hand, liberals affirm il
is a question Of whether human
thought is to be stultified, whether
scientific inquiries are to be blocked
by 'narrow-minded churchmen'
who take Bryan seriously.
The fundamentalists are alarmed
at too liberal Interpretation of Bib

Too Much Thrift?

Is it possible to have too much
thrift in the land? There is a school
of thinking in the country just nov
which believes that it is and that it
has hurt business.
For some time there have been
Whispering" emanating from Wa
shington that the federal government
is OVERRIDING the thrift business and
that it is beginning to have a bad
effect.
Thrift that makes people misery
ceases to be thrift and is of course
not to BE desired. No one would
recommend shnginess as a national
ideal, but avoidance Of wasteful and
unnecessary spending is commend
able
The governments economy policy
need not stop buying, but merely
set an example for thriftiness that
may well be emulated by individ-
uals Certainly the tax reductions
that have resulted in saving of
several hundred million dollars a
year can not be harmful
1t merely leaves in the hands of
the people the money they earned,
instead of paying it out for useless
employees. 1t gives the people the
right to spend the money as they
choose Fix.
