Radiant Living
THE UNBURDENED
LIFE
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffith

Have you ever seen a picture of
a safari streaking through some
African jungle? Do you remem-
Der how that long line of natives
marched across the scene in single
file each one carrying upon his back
some heavy burden of baggage?
Such a picture is illustrative of a
phase of American life. Many there
are who mentally are on a daily
march carrying a heavy bundle.
Some indeed have bundles so heavy
that they are nearly crushed to
earth by their weight. The bundles
differ in size but the content of
each bundle is the same. 1t is
trouble"
God however never intended men
to be a bearer of crushing bundle
of trouble. He created man to be
a master not a slave to be free not
shakled to be happy not sad.
But how different life is today
from what God intended it to be-
The sorrows of our lives have

State College, located at Ames,
Iowa. BBurton's parents received
notice to this effect recently
through Lieut.. George C. Ray.
USNR, Officer-in- Charge of this
work. Upon completion of this
course, Burton will be qualified to
service and maintain high powered
searchlights, motors, generators
and transformers. He will also ac-
quire much detailed information
concerning electrical construction.
maintenance repair and installation
of telephone systems. No doubt,
many of Burton's friends will take
this opportunity to write the young
man, and congratulate him upon
having been chosen to receive this
special training. Dribbles wishes
to be among the first in this, group
to say, BEST of lucw, son-go to it
and show the balance of your class
just how good one of Our Boys In
Thee Service rates. Later on, when
you find your sea legs, how about
writing in to this column and CIV
ing us the low down on yourself.
Dribbles will be pleased to hear
from you. In the meantime, smooth
sailing Burton. Here's hoping that
you will always make the right
kind of connections.
Smyrna times., 1942-12-10

Mothers to want to share this sort
of news with us. Through the med
ium of this column, Service Men
throughout the United States, and
in many other parts of the world,
receive the same information about
your Son in the due course of time.
That is the part that really counts.
This is truly Service column,
striving to serve Our Boys and
Girls in the armed forces. There
fore, it is with pleasure that we
pass the word along, whenever it is
received. Who knows, but some
one off in the Pacific, North Allan
tic, West Coast or the other points
where Our Boys are stationed, may
want to know just where Arthur
is now stationed. That is the rea-
son why Dribbles feels that it is a
fine act when Mothers show the
unselfish desire to share their prec-
ious letters with us.
1t is also just as important to
notify this column of changes of
address. 1t is quite apparent, from
our various sources of gaining in
formation, that many families do
not realize this. 1t is to be hoped,
as time passes, that more news of
this sort will be made available.
And thanks again Mrs. Edward R.
knight.

touched the heart of God. He seeks
to relieve us of these crushing
bundles of trouble.
I am confident of this because
the Christ has given to every bun
die bearer this gracious invitation;
Come unto me all We that are
heavy laden and 1 will give you
rest"
Another assurance that God
wants us to be relieved of the
weight of trouble is His declaration
to Paul land through Paul to youl
my grace is sufficient for you
1t is true that you can not avoid
meeting trouble. But you can re-
sist it leaping upon your back and
riding you as though you were a
slave sapping your strength by its
weight and finally crushing your
spirit into hopeless pessimism.

OUR FIRST GOLD STAR

1t was indeed, with the deepest
feeling of heartfelt regret, that
Dribbles learned of the death Of
Private Leonard T. Newman, Com
pany D, 47th Infantry, United
States Army. Leonard was killed
in action, November 9th, some
where on the North African
Front. Nor was his Supreme Sac
rifce offered in vain. That portion
of North Africa is now completely
under Unitetd Nations control, and
the military value gained in this
operation has been one of great
significance.
Prior to the United States en-
trance into this second World War,
Leonard 7. Newman started his
military career. After a short stay
at Fort Dix, New Jersey, Private
Newman was sent to Fort Bragg,
North Carolina where he completed
his training about two months ago.
From this point, Private Newman
shipped out of the States for the
North African offensive, through an
East Coast port. Available infor-
nation has stated that Private
Newman arrived opposite the North
African Coast early last month.
He landed with the balance of his
Company November 18th, and was
killed in action on November 9th.
To the memory of Private Leon
ard t. Newman, Dribbles now pays
sincere tribute. And to the men,
bers of Leonard's immediate family,
Brothers and Sisters alike, Dribbles
extends his earnest feeling of heart
felt coincidence. By the grace of
God, may your present sorrow be
eased in the knowledge that your
Brother gave up his life in order
that this world may become a bet
ter place in which to live. Far
above us, high in the heavens, a
soft voice may be heard to speak,
saying "Well done, my good and
faithful servant" In the name of
the American People, we accept
this sacrifice for God and Country.
Taps have been sounded for Private
Leonard T. Newman, but our men,
ory of his passing will always be
filed with the highest honor and re-
spect.

Fathers and Daughters
Learn to Fly Together

RACINE, WIS.-Like father, like
daughter, is the paraphrase at Hor-
lick-Racine airport these days, with
flying no longer a mans game.
Gordon Guilbert, Racine manu-
facturer, who was state golf cham
pion in 1921, turned to flying as a
sport after the airport opened, and
his daughters, Patricia, l6, and
Jeanne, 18, made it family affair.
Fielder Sommers, manufacturer,
has been flying for years, is Ii
censed pilot, and owns his own
plane. His daughter Monnie began
her flying career about the same
time as the Guilbert family.

Face your troubles therefore not
with resignation but with resist
ance. Resolve that you will not
permit yourself to be mastered by
your troubles but that you will
master them by an increased faith

Troubles can not burden the back
of a faith-filled mind.

1t is indeed interesting to note
that The Smyrna Times has been
delivered into the same family,
through different generations, over
a period of eighty years, Mr.. Brown.
Here's hoping that this present
record may be doubled before such
a record may be interrupted, for
any cause whatsoever. AS a civil
ian, in private life, Mr.. Brown,
Dribbles trusts that you are enjoy
ing reading this Service column.
May this pleasure be repeated for
you weekly, throughout the dura-
ton of this present war. In the
self same breath, let us both pray
that Victory for the United Nations
will soon be achieved.

they're carrying on from there in

set foot on the Campus, wasn't it?

Bodley is on the squad and has seen

sition does he play end?

pleasure for us to print Service

very unselfish feeling that prompts
Smyrna times., 1942-12-10

The above letter was received by
Henry Shapley recently, via V mail.
This is the first V mail letter to be
published in this column, and it's
nice to see the name of Sgt. Robert
S. Bell signed at the bottom. But
once again it is noted that an ap-
peal is being made by one of Our
Boys In The Service for letters.
This should not be necessary. Most
of us who are doing our bit on the
Home Front certainly can, and
should, spare enough time to drop
our Service friends line frequent
Ily. Seemingly, it is little enough
that they ask.
Dribbles has repeatedly urged
everyone in this community to keep
the mails alive with letters to all
Our Boys and Girls In The Service.
This is one good turn you very we'll
can take care of at once. Let our
Service folk know that you are
thinking of them constantly while
they are out there doing the fight
ing for us. It's news-your kind
of news that they are hungry for
out there. And since they are will
ing to make their needs known, the
entire community should take i'm
mediate action.
Mrs. R. w. Comegys, teaching at
the Kenton School has the right
idea. (See first column of last
weeks issue of The Smyrna Times.
Letters to Soldiers" Only let us
carry the point still further. Don't
allow these kiddies from the 4th to
the 9th Grades at the Kenton
School, outdistance the more adult
members Of our respective COM
munities. 1t would indeed be a
pity if that were so. Well Here's
hoping that Dribbles can score a
bulls eye this time. If not, it is
high time that he stop shooting at
the mark.
Smyrna times., 1942-12-10

All those in service. their families and
friends. are urged to inform Dribbles
Editor of new, or changed. addresses. Keer
him supplied with interesting news items
The success, and continuation, OF this new
Service column will depend largely upon
this kind of cooperation.
