For AMP
Don't Be Half Safe
Don't be half safe : you can't
be sure and enjoy a life that will
endure when your thoughts are
mean, deceptive and impure.
Half-hearted thinking is the
cause of many men being half
safe and unable to resist criminal
acts, super-induced by careless
living.
Men will always be half safe
who give way to unpleasant cir
cumstances and allaw them to rub
and chafe.
There can be no complete safe
tv. when the wishes of a righteous
God, foolish men attempt to defy
and upon their own faulty judg-
ment wholly rely.
Don't be half safe and put your
trust in riches; rather be sure
than YOU know God and avoid Sat
ans bitches.
Don't be half safe and think
yourself so great. pride always
goes before a fall when horse
sense arrives too late.
Don't he half safe; self praise
is never truly sweet; it takes the
characteristics of Christ to make
a life complete.
Don't he half safe : but give to
wisdom plenty of time and space
| for to take snap-judgement other
wise simply spells final sorrow ano
disgrace.
Don't be half safe = n CAM
| claim recognition ofthe high prin'
ciples that our American Constr
tuition provides, and at the same
time take part with enemies or
| all sides.
Don't be half safe = we CAM
individually rob God and NAL
expect success for ourselves ano
prosperity for our land.
Don't he half safe = any gooc
thing like Arid to keep the body
odorless and sweet should be ap'

Of man, above all should not be

Don't be half safe : For as these
fine ingredients in Arid have pro

said the West German republic S
chancellor will ask for what he
calls a security treaty" between
his government and the occupying
powers to replace the present oc-

the nearest approach possible, un-
der present circumstances, to a
peace treaty.

Ohio Leads States
In Fishing Areas

Ohio this year will lead all
other states and provinces in
North America in liberalized fish
ing area with more than 2 "a
million acres of water with no
closed seasons, minimum legal
lengths or bag limits.
E. l.. Wickliff, chief of the fish
management section of the Divi-
sion of Wildlife stated this week
that, according to all available
information, Ohio has the largest
liberalized water area and less
restrictions than any state or
province. Ohio's unrestricted fish
ing applies to all Of it's Ill spec
les of fish.
Restrictions have been removed
from nearly one hundred state
owned or controlled inland lakes,
the waters of Lake Erie and seven
principal streams and their tribu
taries. The liberalized fishing
experiment started in 1945 with
Lake Alma in Vinton County and
in 1916, 1947 and 194S included
eight lakes and one stream. In
1949 the experiment included 25
lakes and one stream.
The experiment to date shows no
harmful results and the opinion
expressed generally by the fishing
public is that "we love it!'
