nominations.
Since being here, Rev. Barton
has come to the conclusion that he
really likes the town of Smyrna.
Now residing at the Colonial
Hotel, Rev. Barton, in a private in
terview with your writer, said, II
have enjoyed my rectorship here in
Smyrna and the people of this
community have been extremely
nice to me. Looking back, can
sincerely say that have liked my
career at st. Peters Church better
than any place else" And it can
be safely said, without assumption,
that Rev. Barton is one of the best
liked ministers ever to come to
this town.
He was born near Winchester,
Va, and graduated from the Shen-
andoah Valley Academy of Shen-
andoah, Va. Before becoming a
minister, he had long and active
business career. Soon after his
graduation from Shenandoah VAL
ley Academy he became a clerk in
a railroad office and later worked
as clerk in a bank. From Shen-
andoah Valley Rev. Barton moved
10 Carlisle, Pa, again working
with the railroad. From Carlisle
he moved to Harrisburg where he
lived for many years.
Then he decided to enter the
ministry. He entered Philadelphia
Divinity School where he studied
for two years plus private study
ON the outside. Ordained in 1926,
Rev. Barton's first charge was in
Lancaster County, Pa. and from
there he journeyed to the state of
Oregon to spend three years. His
last charge before coming to
Smyrna was at st. Stephens
Church, Philadelphia.
He married Rose Getter of Car
isle. She died several years age
after the Bartons had come tc
Smyrna. Illness forced Rev. Bar.
toms retirement in March, 1945, as
rector of st. Peters, Smyrna

tuned up to high pitch for Our
game last Saturday night, and
turned in mighty fine perform
ance OF vocal encouragement for
their team but not quite enough
to bring them victory. Ellwood
put up spirited battle and show
ed strong determination to win,
but our Blue Devils checked their
speed and throttled ahead $50.
We want to thank the women
for whipping up those eats after
the game-we had no orchestra or
further entertainment planned, for
we had been pre-warned that Eli
wood had no intention of staying,
since they had things on the fire
at their own club. We were in
vited to come along, and we had
several car loads following them
out. where we wound up the even,
ing and early morning in an ut
most enjoyable fashion. Even
Jimmy's Model "A served as
transportation for us. but it seems

Thanks for the fun Ellwood,
and no hard feelings-maybe next
year we can arrange to play the
game at Ellwood the night OF your
New Years party.

Tomorrow night we travel to
Farrell to do battle on foreign
. court. You can expect quite few
Blue Devil followers and clatter

This and That From Washington
BY Congressman Frances P. Bolton

back over yours as the old year
closes, | am not unnindful of mis-
takes of many kinds from which
| have learned most of whatever
, know of this that we call life.
But | am also ioyously deeply
aware of the glimpses | have had
OF life as it was meant to be. Just
where Man got off the track l
could not say, but l am very cer-
tain that the only way back is by
the road of individual self-disci-
pline, of willingness to assume re-
sponsibiltiy for ones self and for
the area directly around one, with
an eagerness and a determination
to extend that area to every part
of this anguished world.
Back in the days of the first
world war James Oppenheim wrote
poem whose prophecy unfortu-
nately came true. Perhaps it is
not too late even now to heed his
words and SO draw back from an
abyss infinitely more terrible than
the one from which weNare trying
to emerge. This is what he said:
"WOntd yOu end WGr?
| Create great Peace
The Peace that demands all of a
| man.,
Has tove, has life, his veriest self:
Plunge him into the smelling fires
OF Work that becomes his child,
Gace ham a hard Peace; Peace
of discipline and Justice
handte him cith Uision; inpite him
to JOY and adventure:
Set him to WOrk, not to create
things
Bat to create man:
Yea, himself.
10 search your heart, America
Turn from the machine to man,
Butld, achite there is get time a
creattue Peace
While there is get time!
As surely as pile hiring brings
disease,
So surely aciH your selfishness
bring aUdr."
In the face of these words / wish
you Happy New Year and ask
you if you really want peace
enough to make this your New
Years Resolutions: To build true
happiness in your own heart, in
your own home, in your own COM
munity, that the radiance of it may
shine out into the darkness of
mems confasions that they may
see and Want that which you have
and so turn from violence and hate,
for "when the desire cometh it is
a tree of Life" Such is the diff
cult but deeply satisfying happi-
ness | wish for you in this stu
pendous New Year. May the In
finite One give you and us all the
strength, the courage, and the un-
shakable faith to let nothing stand
between you and such desire.

it, strengthen it, and make it an
ever renewed part Of our deepest,
truest selves. Then, unless we
share it, it has strange way Of
melting away. If life has taught
me anything, it has been that you
give nothing you do not possess.
This is true not just of money and
the things you can touch. 1t is
even more true of the intangibles.
Did you get much comfort from
the Grown-Up's when you were
small and your most precious play
thing was broken: "Never mind,
child, you will forget about it in a
minute? AS you grew older and
your heart was torn with misun-
derstanding, did it mend because
someone told you all would again
be well? Yet it may be that one
of the words he used gave a key
with which to unlock an unrecog-
nized strength within yourself, but
you had to turn the key in the
lock, open the door and go for
ward. No one could do that for
you. Perhaps, bit by bit, the repe-
tition of these experiences in oh so
many forms gave you a deeper
understanding of the processes of
Gods way with man. Perhaps you
will remember how many bouts
you had with life before you won
each step, and how much constant
use of the hard-won capacities it
takes to retain them! Then with
each attainment came fresh desire,
fresh need to be off to broader
fields of understanding. We're it
not so, progress would vanish from
the earth.
This may not be a popular theme
song but it is mine, and as wish
you Happy New Year with deep
earnestness it sings in my heart.
AS have looked back over the
years that | have been privileged
to live, as | hope you have looked
