EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

If you go into a modern grocery
store or market, you will find every
thing marked so that you will know
j $ price. The groceryman knows
what each item is worth and he marks
it SO you too, will know. Just as a
man knows the price of his merchan-
disc he also knows the price of the
men who handle it and he marks
them accordingly Very seldom does
he make a mistake, if he does he is
happy to correct it.
Everything has a price. It matters
not whether its merchandise or an in
dividual, whether its a job or a pro-
motion, whether it's an experiment or
a success. You pay for what you get
or you don't have it at all. The price
of things is not always p al with
money. There are many things that
money alone cannot buy. There are
valuables you need that must be
paid for with hard work, with patti
ence, with sacrifices and with suffer
ing. Unfortunately, these are the
important things-the real things that
make life worth living.
Whatever a man wants in this world
he can have if he has what it takes
to pay for it. Is it something to wear
or to eat you want? If so a little
money can buy it. Is it home you
want? Then you must be willing to
pay the full price for it by making
every conceivable sacrifice Is it an
education you want? If so you must

The United States and Great

was considered they might approve

Both already have ressed 'in,

There was some speculation as to
whether observers might visit

dispute? If the answer to the second
question is yes, is the continuance

the maintenance of international
peace and security?"
However, indications were that
the council would not get to the
Spanish question until mid-week
in view of the decision to put the
lranian issue first on the calendar
when the council reconvenes.
Another floor fight appeared
probably on this drawn-out dis
