What's Your HO?

in the Christian story and in the
story of our lives. But in one
quotation from Maurice Maeter-
linck, the author also gives us
a clue to the reason for the ster-
ility of the mere thinker. ''Nc
man can think justly" he writes,
''if he has lost touch with those
who do not think at all"
When the psychiatriSts today
speak of emotional maturity"
perhaps it is to something like
this that they refer although
their choice of words Is not too
fortunate. For the emotions are
unstable things-the last things
in the world, one would think,
on which an educator or physic-
ian should lay stress. The saints
themselves were never totally
masters of their emotions at all
times: the Devil can enter into
the emotions, as he can never
penetrate the reason or the will.
Yet there is a point to what the
psychiatric writer's say: the heart
must, indeed, temper the brute
intellect il man is to be some
thing better than a mere think
ing-machine.
Consider the immense genial
ity of G.K.C., as revealed in
Maisie Wards new book, 'Re-
turn to Chesterton. If this man
had had less lust for life, less
delight in other peoples chill
dren, less sympathy with the
cobbler and the tobacconist,
would his essays have been so
sharply true? Consider the small
kindlinesses reported of every
great Doctor of the Church: is it
unlikely that they kept their
thought-stream pure by allowing
living things to stay in it--as q
pool needs algae or fish to keep
il from stagnation?
No Dispensstion
The commandment to '1ove
one another" permits of no dis
pensation for the intellectual.
You can get to Heaven without
a high Intelligence Quotient-
millions have done so. But you
cannot get to Heaven without a
high Heart Quotient, for Heaven
is inhabited only by those who
have learned to love.
And that is why we shall never
be we'll ruled. nor well taught so
long as we form our examina-
tions to test only the naked intel
lect of men in search of Jobs in
government service or the uni
versities. For we are only test
ing the horsepower of a man,
with no investigation of the d.
rection towards which il will be
used. We are doing nothing TO
insure that the candidates will
will keep his reason on the road.
It is sometimes said, derisive-
ly, ''You ought to have your head
examined" But there are occa-
sions when the world would run
more smoothly if we said to our
leaders in government an d
school: 'sYou ought to have your
heart examined, too"

universities are jammed with
eager summer school candidates
for a doctorate. Young PEOPLE,
who once would have found
their fun in giddier pastimes,
now devote their evening hours
to the bull-session, solemnly de-
batting matters of cosmic weight,
earning the title of young fogeys.
Thought is highly thought of in
our day.
And this is odd. indeed, for it
is day of very lax and sloppy
thinking. The academic laurels
crown many a brain into which
the principle of non-contradiction
has never entered; the title of
savant is awarded to any writer
who takes the trouble to embel-
lish his book with footnotes and
a photography. Profound think
ers are rare today, and the men
who hare thought matters
through have not always proved
the happiest of guides.
Carl Marks followers can fire.
quently quote Hegel and prate
learnedly of the relation of thes-
is to antithesis, but this ability
has not made them reliable lead
ers. Albert Einstein is a whale
of a mathematician, yet his oc-
casional sorties into the world of
humanities has added little wis
dom to the worlds store. The In
stitute of Human Relations at
Yale University has not kept
Yale undergraduates from riot
ing with the police-a matter of
human relations, surely, and at
the Institutes own door. The
brightest graduates of Harvard
Law School, transplanted to
State Department soil, have
sometimes proved catastrophes to
the nation.
Why? Why do our most brill
liant men so often go astray?
Why has the experiment of the
"brain trust"-which looked so
inviting on paper-hastily aban-
doned in the first years of the
first New Deal7 Why is it that,
even among theologians, the
Church from time to time finds
it necessary to condemn the writ
ings of brilliant men who had
no apparent reason for depart
ing from the purest search of

Ambulance With Boy, ),
Stalled s Hours in Snow
BY the Asseeiefsd Press


ROCHESTER. Mimi, Feb. a.
An ambulance carrying a 81
year-old boy to the Mayo Clinic
here was stalled in deep snow
drifts for six hours last night dur
ing the storm that swept across
most Of Minnesota.
Little Kenneth Backen, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin Backen OF
townsville, Wis, was being trans
ferred to the clinic after doctors
at Eau Claire, Wis, said they be-
lieved he had a brain tumor.
Mayo Clinic doctors say the
| boy was evidently none the
worse" after spending most Of the
night In the stalled ambulance.
When the ambulance became
stalled about II pm. last night
the driver went to q farm house
near South Troy and telephoned
Rochester. asking that snow plows
be sent to clear q path.
Farmers turned out with shovels
to try to dig through the 10 and
IL foot drifts. but were unable to
make much headway.
State highway plows. Q rotary
plow and wrecker trucks that left
Rochester as soon as the call was
received were unable to chew q
path through the deep drifts un-
til dawn.
In the ambulance were Mrs.
Backen, Kenneth and two drivers.

in home gardens and on truck
farms. They are carefully tended
to make them produce berries that
are just right for eating fresh or
for making into preserves.
There was a time, though, when
the only Strawberries to be had
were wild ones growing in fields.
To get the tasty fruit in those
days, you had to take basket and
search for a berry patch.
If you were living in the eastern
half of the United States, the
chances are that you would have
found good picking. That is the
region where the Wild Strawberry
has been abundant for years. It is
still plentiful from New England to
Florida and west to Oklahoma and
South Dakota.
The place to look for the plant,
says the National Wildlife Fedea-
tion, is in fields, pastures, and
grassy slopes. It grows out in the
open where there is sunshine to
keep the ground dry and to ripen
the fruit in the late spring.
Like cultivated Strawberries, the
Wild Strawberry is low plant
from three to nine inches high
that spreads over the ground. 1t
grows from runners, or shoots,
which reach out and take root at
many places.
Fastened to the runners are
leaves, growing in clusters of three
leaflets apiece. Each leaflet has
coarse teeth along its edges and
a rough, hairy surface. It is about
two inches long.
Here and there among the leaves
are small white flowers. Each
flower is from half to three
fourths of an inch in diameter and
has five round, white petals.
Attached to the same stalks that
bear the flowers are the sweet red
berries. Though not as large and
attractive in shape as cultivated
Strawberries, the wild ones look
and taste very much like the kind
that come from gardens.
AS you might guess, the reason
for the resemblance is that Wild

FARM SAFETY
ENCOURAGED
Safety Council Urges 0bserv-
ance of Farm Safety Week
July 20 26
REASONS CITED

Encouraging all farm residents
to adopt right attitudes toward
farm safety is the goal set by the
Delaware Safety Council during
the ninth annual observance of Ma
tional Farm Safety Week, July 20
&c, 1852.
George M. Worrilow, Vice Presi-
dent for Farm Safety, endorsing
the National Safety Councils
theme said the member of unneces-
sary casualties from accidents can
be greatly reduced by the exercise
of caution and intelligent effort on
the part of each farm family.
He urgently requests every farm
resident to cooperate in carrying
out effective safety measures, and
all organizations and persons in
terested in farm life to join in the
Councils campaign to emphasize
the Importance of developing atti-
tudes toward safety which will help
prevent accidents on the farm. In
discussing plans for National Farm
Safety Week, he pointed out the
Importance of farm safety to the
well-being of the nation and the
happiness of the home.
He said there are two excellent
reasons for adopting right atti-
tudes toward farm safety. The
first is that today's farmers are de-
pending upon machinery to step up
production per worker. An injury
to any farm worker, therefore, af-
fects the food supply more than
ever before. The second, and hu-
manitarian, reason is that right at
titudes help prevent accidents to
farmers and their families.
Mr. Worrilow said the ninth OBJ
servance of National Farm Safety
Week will end on Saturday, July
26, but it certainly shouldn't be the
end of farm safety. Right attitudes
toward farm safety can save lives
the year round. We cannot be free
from deadly, crippling accidents if
we practice safety for only one
week, and then work carelessly the
rest of the year.
Right attitudes mean that you
will take time to think safety and
to act safely in the home, in the
fields, and on the highway.
Special phases of farm safety
will be stressed each day of Ma
tional Farm Safety Week, Mr.Wor-
rilow said.
Sunday will be observed as
church day, with the accent on
Thou shalt not kill" Monday will
be home safety day with the ac-
cent on good housekeeping. Tues
day will feature livestock safety,
especially handling animals safely.
Wednesday will emphasize safety
from falls, and Thursday will be
highway safety day. Machinery
safety will be highlighted on Fri
day, and Saturday will be review
day, with the accent on review of
all phases of accident prevention,
particularly learning and obeying
farm safety rules.
