The Secret of Genius
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher
Philosopher

The writer once asked an emil
nent musician why it was that
Paderewski was better than other
piano players.
This was his rely: "Did you ever
see a horse race? Well, in close
finish, you know, one horse is just
a little bit better than the others.
That's why Paderewski was the
greatest pianist"
This enigmatical reply suggests
a great deal.
Intangibles make genius.
1t is the thing you cannot put
your finger on, the indefinable, the
impalpable, which bridges that fine
line between talent and genius.
Work alone won't take you over
the line. 1t takes you nearer and
you cannot bridge it until you near
it, but work alone will not do it.
Determination alone won't do it.
You may grit your teeth and say,
"Now somthing's got to crack. l
will do it." But determination alone
will never create a work of genius.
Education alone won't do it. 1t
helps, but genius is often a thing
apart from books and instruction.
The truth is, genius is something
you either have or you have not. If
you haven't, there is nothing you
can do about it.
Then, you ask, what is the use
talking of it?
This is the answer:
Nobody ever knows whether he
has genius or not. Some unprom-
Using specimens have had it. 1t
sometimes does not show itself for
years and years. Sometime it is
not recognized until long after the
possessor is dead.
No one can tell until he has tried
and he has not tried until he has
done his best and continued to do
his best for long time.
De Maupassant, the master of
the French short story, wrote and
tore up what he wrote for five long
years, perfecting his art. Later he
produced such master piceS as
Happiness" and "The Piece of
String"
His advice was: practice for
years. Make yourself as clear as
possible. Then in everything you
write do your best. So some day the
muse may visit you and you will
write a masterpiece. And one SON.
net or one short story is enough
to bring lasting fame" i
AS someone has said: Genius
is the matter of quarter of an
hour" If you always try to do
your best, always strive to perfect
to the highest possible degree, you
may be one of the favored few, but
anyhow you will have done your
part.
Having genius is something you
cannot determine and are not re-
sponsible for, but doing your best
is entirely within your control.
And after all, even higher praise
than "He possessed genius" is "He
made the most of the stuff he was
given to work with"

Purchase Ground For Ball Park
Open Drive F or Equipment Funds
Tract Near North Park Acquired At Cost OF
S3,142-Money Needed Now For Seating and
Observation-Disclosures Push Launched

A tract of land, part of the c
L. Morris farm north of and ad.
joining North park, has been pur-
chased for future use as a baseball
park and football field from funds
so far contributed for the purpose
by Laurel business concerns and in
dividuals. Cost of the land was
$3,142, which includes two shares of
Big ditch stock.
The movement to buy and fully
equip a ball park was initiated last
year by the Laurel Commercial club,
during the administration of Glen
Roysdon, as a means of implement
ing the American Legion's national
program for junior baseball. 1t is
a joint enterprise in which the Com
mercial club, city council and school
district are financially interested
and will be maintained by the city.
The basic intent was to provide
a suitable ball ground for juniors,
but also included in the plans were
provisions for its use by adult teams
and for night games of both base
ball and football.
Although the land has now been
purchased, more money is needed
for the equipment, including seating
facilities, flood lights and other
items necessary for a comfortable
and satisfactory park. The solicit
ing committee from the Commercial
club renewed its Embarrassing cam
paign this week and will continue
until sufficient money has been
secured for the additional expendi-
lures. B. B. Hageman, chairman of
the committee, said the solicitation
will be intensive. Contributions may
be paid to William A. Ziegler OF
to Marvin Hoppe.
Some of the lighting equipment
has been ordered, the committee
and the committee itself is

push of the solicitation for funds.

The local trustees do not believe
the entire revenue, approximately

would create, will be required. There
are certain items in the budgets OF
1947-48 that cannot be determined
at this time, but will be known
in June when the budgets are COM
pleted. Only that portion of this
special levy needed to meet the an
ticipated expenditures will be used;
the balance authorized will be can
celled and consequently will not af-
feet the tax collected.
The higher salary schedule which
will be operative over the state
next year, will demand a consider
able portion of the increase received
from the proposed levy. In fact no
material increase in salaries could
be granted unless a special levy is
In addition to the demands above
mentioned, some of the buildings are
in need of repairs and renovation,
this is particularly true of the North
and East schools. If materials are
available, steam heat should be
provided for the basement rooms Of
the gymnasium.
The board is also confronted with
the possibility of establishing and
one or two additional
grade rooms as several rooms this
year have reached the maximum en-
.ollment.
The proposed pecial levy will be
on Saturday at the regular
school election for naming two trust
.es for terms of three years each.
Three candidates have filed at the

They are DR.. 1. N. Smith and w. c..

GEHRETT ELECTED
ROTARY PRESIDENT
Club Officers OF Approaching

Training Plan Is Told

Joseph Gehrett, a charter mem
Der, was elected president of the
Rotary club at the clubs meeting
Tuesday. He will succeed j. P,
Moore, whose term will close in a
few months. o. K. Chapman was
reelected vice president and r. B.
Packard was again elected secre-
tary-treasurer. Members of the
board of directors for the next year
will be Gehrett, Chapman, Moore,
DR.. d. A. Nottingham, Stuart john
son, Paul Void and Packard.
Officers and directors were nom-
mated by the present board, whose
recommendations were unanimously
adopted.
At the after-luncheon program,
Paul Void introduced DR.. d. A.
Nottingham who in turn introduced
the speaker, D. H. McAuley of Bill
lings.. McAuley is with the reclaim
nation service, department of irri-
cation, and is also president of the
State Officers Reserve Corps asso-
citation. He spoke on the American
plan of universal training
for national security as approved by
the twenty-eighth annual convention.
Briefly, the plan is for giving all
a~ble-bodied American young men a
year of military training, beginning
with four months of basic about
the time they are leaving high
Should they not be in high
then when they are IS. An
essential condition is that the young
men shall be trained by the army
put that they shall not be men,
1ers of the military establishment.
This condition reflects the Legion's
attitude that a large peace-time
standing army is undemocratic, I'M
necessary, and dangerous to democ-
'acy. But the benefits of a train
ID civilian army and navy are that
America will not have to go through
he period of preparation, as in 1917
md again after Pearl Harbor.
In both previous instances Amer
ca had time, about a year, to train,
quip and transport men and mater
ais. Previous to the last war
america had the unusual experience
f universal military training, last
ne about a year before Pearl Har-
or, in which about 100000 men
'ere prepared. The trained divis-
ms, when they went into action,
ere better able to take care OF
themselves. The newly trained men
uttered more casualties. To pre-
ent unnecessary losses and to pro-
ect America by its might gave rise
} the Legion plan that was formu-
tied and urged for adoption some
D years ago.
Under the plan, young men intend
lg to enter college would continue
