This sort of thing does not sur
prise or disconcert Mcmahon.
That caulif1ower nose of his is
one Of the best known features of
the American landscape. McMa-
hons fellow citizens cannot al
ways quite place it, but they
have 1t tagged. Mcmahon also
had 1t tagged back in his amateur
boxing days. It hurt as broken
noses do, but it gave him a great
trade mark. 1t makes people
stare but if you are an actor,
there is absolutely nothing wrong
with this.
It's exactly right in fact.

Although he may look like a
classic specimen of the gangster
he has played in dozens of movies,
or 1000 misshapen prize fighters
whose pictures have been in the
papers, Mcmahon is anything but.
He is a well educated (take a
bow. Fordham) man. a highly
successful and respected actor,
the husband Of Louise Campbell
who still acts and looks lovely,
and the father of a tiny daughter
who is really the precocious ham
OF the family. Her name is Missy
and when her father is on tele-
vision, which he often is, Missy
watches him in the hope that her
name will be mentioned.
If it is not mentioned. Missy
thinks the show is failure. The
McMahons hope this is just a
phase. If not, they will do some
thing about it. They do not know
just what. which is one of the
most embarrassing things about
being parents. They will try to
think of something, however.
Parents do.
Mcmahon. a most agreeable
dinner companion. has a merry
anticipation right now, namely
that people will recognize him
more quickly hereafter. What is
more, that they will recognize him
with affection.
His latest movie, Detective
Story" is the basis of this new
and happy hope on his part.
He is on the side of law and
order in Detective Story" He
plays a lieutenant of detectives,
a man of extraordinary virtue and
decency and of such appeal that
he cannot fail to be movie

If So, Then What?

MOST Christians do not need even
AVA as much argument as this TO
make them believe In the worth Of
the indiyidual; they are sufficiently
convinced by the attitude Of Jesus
himself Nobody could think seri.
ously about jesus treatment Of
children, or his parallels about the
lost sheep and the lost son, with
out coming to the same conclusion.
The key-questlon always Is:
What IL this action, this atti-
tude, this plan, this arrange
mcnt, this institution, this sys
em,--what Is this doing to per-
sors?
Persons are more important than
anything else Ia the world. This by
no means goes without saying, For
the world Of our time is riddled and
raddled with other and contrary
ideas: as for instance that man is
only an animal. or that he is simply
Inc highest OF the ANIMALS, or that
q mans value comes from his fam.
lily, or his race, or his bank account
: Against all these mistaken views
the Christian must stand, firmly
knowing that he, no more than
others but no less, S made in Gods
Image and an'object of Gods love;
and SO IN himself small though his
place may be, not only has q value
that can never be described in dol.

human race can ever own.

then you saw up the trunk.
IF you start on the stump right
away, you're apt to get discour-
aged. so you go to the next tree
and then come back to the stumps
later"
Mr.. Stepp said some people told
him if he would bore holes in the
Stumps and pour in solution of
saltpeter, the stumps would gradu-
ally deteriorate and could be re-
moved later without much trouble.
"As soon as I got the land, was
in a hurry to get it ready for my
house; but why I should have
been in SO much of a hurry
don't know, since I didn't have
the money at the time for the
house.
Hacked at Each Root.
But the saltpeter method
sounded too slow to me, so I grub

dug a trench around each one and
hacked away at each tap root in

you have to dig the trench
deep enough so you can chop hori-
zontaliy against the tap root. You
can do this pretty well after you
have pulled the horizontal roots
out OF the ground, chopped them
of and lugged them away"
Before Mr.. Stepp started to chop
down trees, he cleared bushes and
undergrowth from the land so he

could get aabetter idea of exactly
where he wanted to- put the house
"The road stopped at the edge
Of my land, and the underground
was SO thick spent an entire day
trying to find one boundary of the
place" he said.
Il couldn't get any perspective
on the site until I had partly
cleared out the underbrush and
the small bushes.
Worked Out That Way.
What really decided us on
where to put the. house was a
pretty beech tree. We decided we
wanted to see that tree from the
living room, and it all worked out
that way"
Mr.. Stepp. whose three children
are 13. 9 and 4 years old, said his
wife and his children occasionally
helped him with the clearing
operation.
At the time he bought the land,
he was living in Greenbelt, Md,
four miles away. He used a bi-
