FUNNY WORLD
Read an article the other
day wherein the author sug-
gested that whenever we in
tend bombing a city or mill
tary installation, we should
get bids on the cost of replace
ment. Thus it is that in this
modern era the winner loses
a double cost. He loses the
cost of demolishing the par
ticular objective and then he
loses again when he replaces
what he has demolished. The
old saying ito the winner be-
longs the spoils," no longer
holds true. In this day and age
we must not only knock out
an enemy but rebuild what
ever we have destroyed. Such
is the case with Germany
where we have spent billions
to build again that which cost
billions to destroy. In the case
of England, a winner" is the
big loser. England is flat
broke and cannot feed herself
while Germany is back on its
feet with plenty of food and
manufactured goods. Perhaps
we must someday return to
the old system whereby the
loser must rebuild on his own
and without money and Amer
ican know how.

The officer asked the re-
cruit what he had done in
civilian life. The youngster
said, Il taught school, shoed
horses, MIXED cows, laid
bricks, built houses, fixed
motors, washed windows, grew
potatoes, cut hair, played sax
aphone, drove trucks, played
golf, sold insurance, dug coal,
painted houses and sailed
ships" The officer shrugged
his shoulders and replied. "Oh
well, suppose We'll be able to
fit you in somewhere"
SHOES
Friend of ours says that he
stopped into a shoe store last
week and complained about
the high price and the poor
quality. Man who ran the
store explained Cant get
good shoes any more. All the
good leather is going into
steaks!'
SIGN
Old Haywood Snugg, the
Barney Oldfield of Chuckery,
says that when you tell a gal
you're out of gas and she be-
lieves you, you're getting old,
brother!-
COINCIDENCE
Truck driver was hailed into
Mayor Speasmaker's court last
week charged with driving an
overloaded truck. Mayor fined
him $3.50 for the offense.
The name of the driver was,
of all things, Scott Free!
sUDN THoT
The only good thing we
know about sin is that you are
SURE of it!
LANDMARK
The old Buffenbarger house
down on the Hutson Road is
being torn down. A lot of local
citizens will remember it as
one of the great old mansions
of Madison county. 1t is (or
was) the largest frame house
in these parts.
Women are like clocks.
They have pretty hands and
shining faces and are hard to
regulate once they get wound
up. Too, they are as clear as
crystal and never like any
thing second hand.
After all, when a girl tries
to talk her boy friend into
buying her a new dress, she
shouldn't mind too much If he
tries to talk her out of it!
LAST WORD
Blessed are the hard of
hearing for they can avoid so
much small talk.

Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

THE WEAVER by Harold E. Dye.
BrOadman Press, Nashville. $1.75.
This volume is distinctively off the
beaten path to a common theme. 1t
is an original approach to victor
iOus living, and deeply devotional
in its design Of life. God is the
great pattern Maker, and there are
many threads that run through the
lives of His people. A chapter each
is given to the Red Thread of
Courage, the Blue Thread of
Strength, the Golden Thread of
Faith, the Violet Thread of Love,
the Green Thread of Patience, the
Black Thread of Sorrow, the White
Thread of Righteousness, and the
WOOlen Thread of Simplicity. Our
lives have divine significance and
are pertinent. even integral, parts
of the economy of the universe; we
are not lost sight of, but there is
One who will guide and strengthen
us for every time of need and will
help to fit us into the Great Plan"
PRAYER by Karl Barth West
Minister Press, Philadelphia. $1.50.
| One of the worlds foremost, theO-
lOgians interprets the prayers of
the RefOrmers, and adds his own
views on prayer. Most of this
small books material is given over
to the Lords Prayer. There is
reason to pray. 1t is our. cause
that is at stake. We are entirely
dependent upon God. He really
must make our cause His own, sc
that it may be upheld and victOri.
Gus. And we are there, we, who
are free to invoke Him fearlessly
with the certainty that He listens
For whatever we ask of Him HI
has always done and will always
do"
