OF R WISE
By E. Q. BOND

No mind is thoroughly well
organized that is deficient in a
sense of humor.
Free thinking is fine; right
thinking is better.
Constant success shows us but
one side of the world; adversely
brings out the reverse of the
picture.
Beauty is always an asset and
curves are always capital.
Many a persons idea of
Heaven would be nothing to do
and an eternity to do it in.
Nobody likes a kicker, yet if
it wasn't for the kicker, services
wouldn't be half as good as it is.
A wise girl knows that if she
can get a man to support her on
his knees for a half hour he'll
insist on supporting her the rest
of his life.
Soul A spark of the never
dying flame that separates man
from all the beings of earth.
Those who marry to have
someone to tell their troubles to,
soon have plenty to talk about.

from any block of wood. -Pytha-

all Joy, and peace, in believing,
and in hope thru the power of
the Holy Ghost. Paul said to the
gentiles, that I'm persuaded that
ye are full of goodness, filled
with knowledge, and able to
understand one another. but
God wished me to remind you,
because of the grace given me of
God, that | should be the minis
ter of Jesus Christ to the Gen
tiles, therefore, l have spoken to
you, and shall journey on into
Spain and into Jerusalem to
minister unto the saints; to make
contribution unto the poor
saints. | beseech you now for
Jesus sake and for the love of
the Spirit, that we strive togeth-
er with me, in your prayers to
God, for me; that l may be deliv-
cred from them that do not be-
lieve in me, and my service
which l have for Jerusalem, and
that my service my be accep-
table of the saints. That l may
come unto you again with joy
by the will of God, and may
with you be refreshed. And now
may God of peace be with you
all. We can we'll apply this mes
sage to our time and age for the
Bible is a messenger for the be-
ginning to the termination of
mankind and that we all strive
together in this day and age for
the betterment of our life, and
for God, we do not find time to
read the Bible daily and apply
its teachings, but we do find
time to read the daily news

Act which was passed by the
congress last year.
Senator Paul Douglas, Illinois,
according to observers here, may
be seeking the mantle now worn
by Senator Byrd, Virginia, as
the official senate cutter-of-
funds. Senator Douglas has been
particularly active of late, but
not very effective in getting his
slashing amendments through
the senate. He was particularly
ineffective in his fight to cut
agricultural department funds
and be offered four different
fund-slashing amendments to
cut state department and federal
aid to highways.
Douglas tried to cut some
thing like four-and a half million
dollars from state department
salaries, but was rejected; he
tried cut $2,00O,0O0 out of money
for acquisition of buildings
abroad, but was beaten down; he
sought to cut $175,000 out of fund
used for representation allow
ance abroad, stating he did not
think it necessary to float
foreign relations in a sea of
cocktails or champagne"
The Senate, however, rejected
his amendment 40 to 25. Then his
last effort to reduce funds this
week was to cut $25,OOO,O00 from
the federal aid to highways ap-
preparation and he was beaten
back by voice vote.
The administration won a vic
tory in passage of the so-called
Battle bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Laurice c. Battle,
Alabama, passed unanimously by
the house and by a vote of 55 to
16 in the senate after some
changes.
The Battle bill is designed to
cut off economic or military aid
to any nations selling arms or
other obvious implements of war
to Russia or her satellites, but
does not bind the President to an
inflcxible rule. The bill will re-
place the so-called KEN Rider,
which was attached to the third
supplementary appropriation act.
Senator KEN, Missouri, author,
was supported by Byrd and
Wherry.

or die, we are the Lords.
For to this end Christ both
died and rose, and revived, that
he might be Lord both of the
living and the dead.
For it is written, as l live saith
the Lord, every knee shall bow
to me, and every tongue shall
confess to God.
The kingdom of God is not
evil, but righteousness and peace
and joy, therefore our good
should not be evil spoken of,
for those who serve in righteous
ness are acceptable of God.
1t is neither good to eat flesh,
or to drink wine, nor anything
whereby we may stumbleth or
are made incapable and weak

to bear the infirmities of the
weak. And not to please our
selves, Christ pleased not him
self, but to willing accepted and
died for the sins of others.
For what serves things were
written aforetime were written
for our learning that we thru
patience and comfort might have
hope.
Therefore we should receive
one another as Christ received
us.

Make Life Beautiful -.
James w. Sullivan

There is no need to go through
life discouraged. We can only
prosper when we are happy.
There is one word we have all
misused and have no idea what
can be accomplished if we look
at it and realize the effects 1t has
on our lives. The word is simply.
BELIEVE. Do you realize what
it means to believe? 1t doesn't
mean just believe some thing we
already know. It's believing bey-
ond what we know. Most of us
fall short of great accomplish
ments because we don't believe
it can be done. We only progress
as we believe.
We all have it in us to accom-
plish the things in life, if we
only believe. There is law that
won't fail. If We believe we can
do a thing and set our minds to
do it, and not be discouraged by
anyone, it is certain we can do
what we believe.
Don't let any discouragements
get you down. Pick up the pieces
and start over.
We can do just what we be-
lieve we can do. We are just
what we confess to be. If we
think we'll fail, we probably will.
So it's very important to make
Life Beautiful" Think only con-
structive thoughts. LAS a man
thinketh in his heart-so is he"
These words are very true.
The way to win in life is to
think prosperity instead of fail
ures. In the wise old book, The
Bible, we read, "All things are
possible, only believe" These
words are true in every walk of
life. Practice believing and see
for yourself if these words aren't
true. You can make life beauti-
| full.

3 er m oneiie-

Paul wrote his letter to the
Philippians from Rome, while he
was a prisoner in his own hired
house, chained to a Roman SOL
dier. He wrote to thank the
Philippians for some kindness
they had shown him. 1t is
thought that Paul particularly
loved the church in Philippi, the
first church that had been found
ed in Europe.
He wrote of the Christian be-
havior that should distinguish a
church of Christ. The manner of
life of Christians should be wor-
thy of the gospel. And they
should be found, not in factions,
but in complete harmony, in
which lowliness of mind and un-
Selfishness should lead Christians
to seek the good of others above
their own.
The Incompatible example of
Christ is given to who, how and
why Christians should be loving
and kind in their relations to
their fellows. The mind which
was in Christ Jesus smust be in
Christians. 1t led him to divest
himself of his kingly glory and
come to earth as a Saviour unto
men. 1t was the mind to serve.
If we would be like Christ, we
must serve. Because of the sacri-
flee that he offered of himself,
God has highly exalted him, and
we may share his glory by and
by if we will.
Christian fellowship then de-
pends upon lowly and loving
hearts. They who have such
hearts will mind not high things
but condescend to men of low
estate. Let us seek such a love
toward Jesus and our fellows
that we shall be good fellows
unto others.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS


E. E. Cunningham of the local
VA Office stated today that
many veterans of the Korea cam
paign s.. both able-bodied and
disabled -. are joining the
ranks of those who are entitled
to certain VA benefits. Ever
since the fighting started in the
Pacific theater of operations
Congress has made more and
more World War II benefits
available to our newest crop of
veterans. Although the Korean
campaign is still very much
alive, a constant stream of ser
vicemen are making their way
back to civilian life, as replace
ments move in to take over.
Disabled Korean veterans
drawing compensation from
Noble county, may get in on the
same program of Vocational Re-
habilitation originally set up for
their World War II buddies.
If they were disabled in COM
bat or an extra hazardous duty,
or aggravated an old condition
under those conditions, they're
eligible for study or training, if
they need vocational rehabilita-
ton to overcome their handicaps.
Those who are entitled get free
tuition at Uncle Sans expense,
and in many cases, additional
payments for subsistence and
supplies.
Latest figures show that near
ly two hundred Korean veterans
already have applied for Voca-
tional Rehabilitation.
VAS pledge to provide unsur-
passed hospital care for all vet
Grams SO entitled, is now being
fulfilled, to the benefit of ever
increasing numbers of ex-serv-
icemen discharged since our
military intervention in Korea.
Out of more than 700 Korean
veterans in VA hospitals, better
than so percent were service =
connected cases. Korean veterans
enjoy equal rights with those
who served during wartime
Emergency cases get top priority.
SerVice-connected cases come
next. Those with non-service-
connected disabilities who apply
for VA disqualification, must
wait till a bed is available, and
must be unable to pay for regu-
lar disqualification on the out
side.
The new insurance law provid-
eS for free, automatic 10-thou-
sand-dollar indemnity for bene-
ficiaries of servicemen who died
on active duty, or within 100
days of discharge, at any time
since our military campaign
started in Korea.
AS of July 31st, VA had re-
ceived 732 indemnity claims, and
$50 of the beneficiaries were al
ready receiving monthly pay
ments. This free indemnity is not
paid out in a lump sum but
in 100 equal monthly install
ments, over period of 10 years.
e Close to 10-thousand Korean
veterans, and dependents of
those who died, have gone on
VAS compensation and pension
rolls. Another 1000 applications
are still being processed, await
ing final action. Here again, our
latest crop of veterans and their
dependents are eligible to re-
ceive the same rates as those ap-
plying to World War II cases.
