MICHIGAN'S CONGRESSMAN
JESSE WOLCOTT. who has been
bottling up the housing bill, thought
he would show he was not anti
veteran by calling two witnesses 10
speak for the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars.
He did this despite the fact that
he had a telegram in his pocket
officially repudiating the two wit
nesses. Signed by Merle Hopper,
Michigan VFW commander, the
telegram read:
George Lyle and Arthur Grelg
purported to represent Michigan
department VIEW on housing at
your committee hearings. No one
but myself is authorized to speak
for VFW in Michigan on any SUBJ
ject before congress"
Deliberately ignoring this pro-
test from the VFW commander,
Wolcott In effect deceived the
public by putting Greig and Lyle
on the stand to denounce low
cost housing for war vets. He also
failed to mention that Greig and
Lyle for long time have been
playing hand-in-glove with the
real-estate lobby in Detroit.
However, Representative Hale
Boggs Of Louisiana, himself vet
eran, did not let Wolcott get away
with this. He asked Lyle If the
national VIEW was for public hous-
ing. Knowing the answer was
EYES," Wolcott had the nerve to
interrupt Boggs. But the Louisianan
persisted:
II insist on an answer to my
question as to whether the ma
tional VIEW has Endorsed this bill
yes or no."
Lyle finally had to admit that
the Veterans of Foreign Wars IA
vored passage Of the housing bill
and that he and Greig were speak
ing only for themselves. Chairman
Wolcott looked very sick.

Attendant RescUes Boy, 9,

McKEESPORT. PA. - A circus
elephant picked up a 9-year-old
schoolboy, tossed him to the ground
and was about to crush him with
his foretoot when an attendant
came to the rescue.
The boy. Robert YednaA, was
watching the Roger Brothers circus
set up for a one-night stand when
he was attracted by Shirley, the
elephant.
He fed the elephant some hay
when the animal suddenly grabbed
him with his trunk, lifted him into
the air and slammed him to the
ground.
Just as the elephant raised its
foot to crush the youth. a quick
thinking attendant shouted COM
mand for the animal to freeze"
Robert then rolled from where
Shirley was chained.
He suffered a dislocated Shout

prophets to predict victory; but
Micaiah, the prophet Of God, whom
Ahab had shut up in prison, when
he was summoned, at the insistence
Of Jehoshaphat, told Ahab the truth
the unpleasant truth-which sub.
seouent events verified.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1948-07-02
BRAVE ENOUGH TO TELL

THE TRUTH
THE first blessing in the study OF
i this obscure Bible character,
Micaiah, is to discover man who
was brave enough to tell the truth
when he knew it was unpopular.
It is always the best policy to
tell the truth, though there be many
In today's world who deny this prin-
ciple. It is not enough to say that
we will tell the truth because 1t
pays. That is true, but 1t as by
product Of doing what is right. One
must tell the truth because it is
right to tell the truth. Men swear
with their hand upon the Holy Bible
that what they testify is the truth
and nothing but the truth. But,
alas, such men often tell anything
but the truth. They have been care
tully coached to evade the truth.
Micaiah told the truth, because he
was speaking for God. 1t hurt him,
out it must needs be the truth he
spoke to Ahab.
TRUTH DISREGARDED
Ahab scorned the words of Mi
caiah, and ordered him thrown back
into prison. But scarcely had the
prophet of God been thrust again
into prison, until Ahab was bleed
Ing to death in his chariot.
Men not only take their own lives
In their hands wher they disregard
the truth, but. like stubborn Ahab,
they bring grief to countless others.
Had Ahab needed the words Of
truth which Micaiah proclaimed,
Ahab might have lived. Indeed. had
Ahab needed the words of truth, he
might have recovered Ramoth, and
more beside.
Truth may appear forever on the
scaffold, wrong forever on the
Ihrone, but time always proves a
hard taskmaster to the man who
regards wrong instead Of truth.
THE SOURCE OF TRUTH
TOD is the source Of truth-all
" truth. If we miss this, we miss
the lesson Of the lesson. Note the
words of the golden text, GAS the
Lord hveth, what the Lord saith
unto me. that will I speak," said
Micaiah.
Let us remember that it was God
speaking through his prophet. Ahab
could not have doubted that Micaiah
was speaking what God had told
him to speak. But Ahab did not
want to hear the truth. He wanted
to hear pleasing words that would
encourage him in his evil plan.
God speaks the first and the last
word on every subject, because God
is truth. II am the truth" said
Jesus. And he went on to say. eye
shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free"

THE PENALTY OF
DISOBEYING THE TRUTH

HORRIBLE, indeed, was the pen
L L atty which Ahab suffered for
disregarding the truth. The way of
the transgressor is hard-always
hard. The wages of sin is death.
Be sure your sins will find you out.
Take down your cherished books
of history. What do they say to
you? That the straight line of truth
is the only safe way in which to
walk. It is applicable for the in
dividual, for the family, for the
community. for the nation, for civil.
cation.
Thus every great prayer must be,
''Thy will be done" Gods will Is
the way Of truth. Micaiah declared
1t. Every true prophet must declare
1t. 1t is the only way to peace and
Joy in this world.
