Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

THE LIFE WE PRIZE by Elton
TruebloOd. Harper and Brothers,
New York. $3.50. This is probably
the most important book this au-
thor has written. It has a cOur-
ageOus and penetrating message
for our "sterner time" If we have
a way of life that surpasses Com
munism it is up to US to prove it.
We must know what we believe,
and be loyal to our faith. We are
in moral depression. Ancient as
the fundamental wisdom about life
may be, there are, however, mil
lions who seem to be unaware of
it, since we now have a generation
in the Western world which knows
little poetry, less philosophy, and
no Bible" The authors mood is
not that of despair. He seeks to
restore confidence in a shaken
world. Ideas can change history,
Man needs to recover the deeper
meanings of life, and fill his re-
spOnsible place in society. Disci-
pline' is the price of freedom, re-
spect for persons is a necessity
the right attitude toward work is
vital, and personal integrity is es-
sential. There is need for a bOlC
| theological advance, and an aware
ness to the problem of evil This
book will be a best seller.

kits HummOck Woman
First To Complete
"StOp-F Fire" Project

Delaware families are taking the
final step to wind up the 1861 stop
Fire Campaign, during National
Fire Prevention Week, October Z
13. Miss Louise Whitcomb, of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, says the final step is a.
complete check of cooperating
farms to see II the monthly jobs
have been done.
The first to request a final check
up by a fireman. was Mrs. George
r. Hunt, Of kits HummOck, near
Dover. Frequent marsh fires make
Mrs. Hunt very conscious of the fire
hazard, says Miss Whitcomb. The
Hunts have an Indian fire fighting
kit which is carried on a persons
back. This is shared with neighboTs
in case of fire. The Hunts also have
hand extinguisher inside the
home, right near the kitchen en-
trance. It is checked regularly and
is ready for use at any time.
The Hunts are one of 500 fami-
lies cooperating in the stop Fire
Campaign. others who would like
local fireman to check their farm
/ for fire hazards during Fire Pre-
vention Week are urged to return
their post cards early. Those whose
farms are checked will be more sure
that fire will not start on theil
places. A certificate will be giveI
all families who have completed
the program satisfactorily, aftei
the check is made.
