SUNDAY
Rx THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
A CROWD of boys was noisily play
I 4 ing football in vacant lot as
came home from church on Sunday.
1t was pleasant day, and football
is a good game, but the sight and the
sound gave me a little shock. The
training of my youth asserted itself.
There were no such things allowed
at our house when / was boy. Fa-
Their was an old-time Presbyterian, and
being an Englishman, was the head
of the household by his own nominal
ton and election. We children spent
a quiet Sunday We arose with the
dawn, we did our simple tasks, and
then we .arrayed ourselves for church
and Sunday school Our shoes had
been shined, our bodies bathed. and
our fresh clothes laid out carefully
the night before, so that nothing I'M
necessary should be demanded on Sun
day.
Usually we drove the three and one
half miles across the prairie to the
village church, but in planting and
harvest time when the horses had all
been working hard during the week,
we walked, starting early so as not to
be late. Father believed that even a
horse which has worked hard for six
days is entitled to a Sabbath of quiet
and rest and meditation in the pasture
lot. Sometimes / rebelled a little
within me at the long walk over the
dusty road, but the path was flower
bordered, and my heart was young and
my legs strong.
We returned after church to sim
Die dinner, most Of which had been
prepared on Saturday, for mother, too,
believed that nothing unnecessary
should interrupt the quiet and sanctity
of the day. The afternoon dragged
sometimes. There were no games al
lowed, no going swimming, no movies,
no vaudeville, no golf, no motoring.
no engaging in anything that made
a noise. Sometimes the sound of the
ungodly neighbors' boys rioting at
baseball in Babb's pasture tortured my
ears but such sinful allurements were

voice, 1 still remember. and sometimes
/ got an interesting book and ate 1t
up myself during the long afternoon
and evening.
In the twilight after our simple sup
per we sang familiar hymns and Sun
day school songs before evening pray
ers, for we had prayers both morning
and evening on Sunday. Perhaps the
voices were not well trained, but I'd
give a good deal to hear them all

littly shy, and the slight tremor In
her voice and the sincerity of her
tones never failed so long as heard
her to move me to tears. After pray
ers we children sat around talking a
little, smuggling about mothers knees
and listening to a Bible story, perhaps,
as she held our hands in hers or
stroked our touseled heads. We went
to bed early.

regime on the active young people Of
today. They are too modern, too Gag

careless of authority to submit to such
discipline kindly, and it might not in
all regards be helpful. 1t was an I'M
reasonable, tiresome, way to spend the
day, you say.-I admit it, but as

meaning which the day has come to

Dol. Faith in the goodness of God and
reverent and formal prayer of
thanksgiving for His bounty Is its
avowed purpose
But its greatest profit to US may
come from the thoughts it invokes of
that little hand of hardy men and
women who knew what 1t meant to
face hunger; to know hunger and
stick to an appointed task. That task
happened 10 be the opening up of that
new land which was destined to pro-

They were stickers-those from
whom this heritage has come down.
Hardy? Yes; but with a ruggedness
that was not alone physical attribute
They experienced the primal lessons:
want. fear. and the need of strife.
But they stuck. And they won. That
first Thanksgiving day was for them
solemn rite. If they-that band of
Pilgrim men and women-could feel so
honestly thankful for Gods bounty as
it was measured out to them at Plym-
outh in 1921. what one of us in this
day and generation but needs be
ashamed to feel less. 1t was solemn

be happy? Let us be happy on this

our brothers keeper; we cannot live
unto ourselves nor can we rise above
the source-the nucleus of civilization

have come TO this realization. The
ministers are advocating social and
community service-the government is
backing it. The nation has failed to
become christianized from within the
four walls of churches. and so ON ev-
cry hand is cry for social better
ment--a call for the best of our tai

boys and girls socially. Back to the

We thankless creatures! The only
thing that occasions such remark is
the fact that we are all blessed with
too much. We are all millionaires. If
we would but take into account our
wonderful opportunities and the grand
privileges with which God has endowed

GASOLINE TAX
COMMENDED BY
STATE ENGINEER
Budget Basis Needed
By State Highway
Department

MENTO, Jan. G. The
most important event of the last
biennium, as far as the state high
way building is concerned, was the
enactment of the gasoline tax law,
says State Highway Engineer R. M.
Morton in his report to the Califor-
MIA Highway Commission and made a
part of its biennial report to Gov
ernor Richardson.
Returns from this tax, Mr.. Morton
points out, have made possible a
greatly expanded reconstruction
program as well as more thorough
maintenance of state highways, in
Guiding much betterment work of
permanent nature.
Traffic counts are being taken at
regular intervals and are studied in
planning future constructions and
maintenance. y system of permen-
ance stations under state owner
ship is being established. 4 change
III policy has been made regarding
surveys which are not now under
taken too far i'll advance of con-
struction for the reason that former
surveys have had to be discarded
because OF changes in standard be-
tween, the time of the survey and
actual construction.
Urges Annual Budget
Discussing the completion of the
state highway system, Mr.. Morton
says:
"With $500 miles of the present
California highway system on which
construction of one kind or another
must be done at an estimated cost
Of at least $200,000,000, is is OBJ
vious that an average expenditure
of $40, 0,0oO,o 900 per year on new con-
struction only would complete the
work as now outlined in period of
ten years.
cit probably would be unwise to
attempt the completion of the ex-
isting system Ill less tnan ten year
period. Perhaps the period should
De twenty years.
"The important question is how
soon do the people of the state de-
sire the highway system to be COM
pletcd.
Road building has become SO
much part of the life of every
community and the demands for
highways continues to be so great
that, to properly meet these condi-
tions, the highway organization
should be placed on permanent
revenue basis.
1.-The essential need of the pre-
sent highway situation is q sound
basis of financing whereby there
can be budgeted i'll advance the
various highway projects to be un-
dertaken each year. Under such a
plan, the highway commission can
outline Il definite program and fol-
low it with the assurance funds will
be on hand to keep the promises
made the people. -
