A Lonely Life-Pa.
The way to get people inter-
ested in you is to be interested
in them, and be friendly and
willing to make them like you.
1t is pity that you followed
your mothers advice about hav-
ing few friends because / have
always found that some of our
imaginary enemies became real
good friends when we get to
know them better.
You do not have to travel the
pace of your neighbors to be
friendly with them. Several of
my good 'neighbors are people
whom / rarely meet at social
affairs. They 60 with different
groups of people. But we give
each other plants and flowers,
we exchange recipes. we send
each others children graduation
gifts. etc. In other words we
are good neighbors to each other
and feel that we can call each
other in if we need help.
\ What about your church? ALI
churches are delighted to have
their members take an interest
/ in the Work and meetings. Talk
to your pastor and tell him that
you are interested in knowing
your fellow-members better.
Join your missionary society
and do what you can for that.
Above all be friendly to peo-
pie and stop thinking that they
dislike you. All of US are at
tracted to friendly, smiling peo-
pie who are interested in US or
in what we are doing.

All Persons Are
Mentally III. Says
C. Witt in Pulpit

Have you had your mental ILL
ness yet today?
If you haven't, watch for 1t.
Get it under control, for it will
do you no good.
Taking the place of the pastor
at the first Lutheran church Sum
day, Carl Witt, principal of Kenn-
ewick Junior high school, said
every person is mentally ill at
least 10 minutes day. Many
are mentally ill for longer periods,
and most of the people In hos
pitfalls have no bodily illness but
are afflicted mentally, the Kenn-
ewick educator said.
Witt divided the types of men,
talities in to three groups; Cd the
domineering group who wants to
control things at all costs; 90 the
weak type; and 90 the type OF
person who is sort of comp
romise between the two extremes
Witt said Hitler was mentally
sick. His type can be dangerou:
if they do not use their force
for good, Witt said.

INFORMATION
FOR Vets

Certain benefits administered by
the Veterans Administration are
available to peacetime veterans
or dependents of veterans whose
military service included no war
time duty, the VA reports.
Although all persons who feel
they may be entitled to peace
time veteran benefits should check
on their entitlement at the nearest
VA office, two general require
ments must usually be met. These
include: Cd That the veteran was
disabled by a disease or injury
incurred in or aggravated by peace
time service; and ca that the vet
eran was discharged under con-
ditions other than dishonorable.
Monetary rates of compensation,
such as disability compensation
or death benefits, usually are low
er than those provided under the
law for waretime military ser
vice, the VA said.
Among the VA benefits for
which veterans or dependents Of
veterans with peacetime service
only may qualify are: Medical
and domiciliary care, disability
compensation, special homes for
paraplegics, VA guardianship ser
vice, burial benefits, burial flags,
death compensation and others
The VA emphasized that be-
cause eligibility requirements for
VA benefits for peacetime SER
vice are varied, it is advisable
for each individual to check his
eligibility with the nearest VA
office.

2. Read entire books of the

3. Read enough so you make

He said there was no conflict

New Bible Picture Story
Starts in Star Tomorrow

Since his youth. Houston Harte,
publisher of the San Angelo (Texo
Standard Times, has been an avid
Bible reader.
Four years ago he cast about for
means of sharing his enthusiasm
with others. But as an expert
enced newspaper man he knew
that the public is attracted by
fine illustrations and easy-to-read
type. And although the Bible is
still the worlds best seller, it often
loses the fight for readers time
against books more attractively
edited and printed.
Mr.. Harte soon began a book
project to do something about this.
Next week the result will be pub
lished by the Oxford University
Press an inch thick, 213-page
book, In Our Image"
Mr.. Harte's idea was to take the
finest and most dramatic portions
Of the Bible and make them as at
tractiye visually as the best Of
modern literature-"to make so
fine a book" says Kent Cooper,
executive director Of The Asso-
ciated Press, in a foreword, that
even the casual Christian may
turn to it with excitement"
After Q committee of clergymen
selected 26' Old Testament stories
to make up the text of the book,
Mr.. Harte went to work. He elimi-
mated material not necessary for
the main thread Of the story. but
without changing any words Of
the original King James text.
Meanwhile, Guy Rowe, the por-
traitist, who had done numerous
striking portraits as a cover artist
for Time Magazine. created the
illustrations. For three and a half
years he worked on the 80 illu-
strations using real people as
models. Critics say he has sue
ceeded in telling the traditional
Bible story with a new depth of
meaning.
A once-a-week series Of Mr.,
Rowe's Bible illustrations with q
condensed text will appear in The
