BulIdozing Work
Is Termed Faulty

Initial work on the Madison
County Youth Building met an un-
expected snag Monday when it was
found that the land fill on which
part of the building will stand was
too soft. According to construction
experts, the fill had been made too
deep and had not packed down
sufficiently to withstand the
weight of the building.
The bull-dozing operation had
been done earlier this year and it
was said that the fill had not been
properly tamped down.
Solution to the problem may lie
in removing the fill and redoing
the job, it was said. The contract
calls for concrete floor in the
area of the fill and it was said that
the fill is too soft to support either
the building or the floor.

Friends have a fine young
son who recently became the
proud possessor of a puppet
made like a kitten-you know
the kind you put on your
hand. Well, seems our young
friend, in the manner young
kids have of imagining all
sorts of things, was talking to
the puppet and during the
conversation" stated that he
was going to take the kitten
on a picnic. Boys nom over
heard him and asked, What
are you going to have to eat on

Suppose someone were to
ask you to give the sum of all
the numbers from 1 to 100 and
you had no paper and pencil
handy. The answer is quite
simple and, if you know how,
you can give the answer in a

HONESTY
We like the statement made
by an Army WAC who, after
she had been dismissed for
having baby said, "The prac-
tice of discharging a service
woman who has baby is ILL
conceived!"
ANSWER
Consider that in the num-
bers / to 100 that there are
SO pairs of numbers which
total 101. (100 and 1 total 101,
80 and 2 total 101 etc). Thus,
the total of all the numbers
equals $3.50 which is so times
101-get it?

COME INTO MY GARDEN

There is something definitely
wrong with the world today. Could
1t be that we are getting too far
away from nature? Years ago
Wordsworth said so beautifully:
THE world is too much with us
late and soon; getting and spend
ing, we lay waite our powers: lit
tie we see in nature that is ours"
When God made man he plant
ed him in garden, and when
Jesus wanted strength he was
found in a garden or by the sea,
alone. Here He spent hours in
meditation and prayer undisturb-
cd. Here He found answers to all
His problems. Here He found
peace and quiet and harmony.
The world is too much with
us, late and soon" That is more
truth than poetry. We have no
privacy, VIC have nothing but
chaos around us. The radio blares.
the TV grips our attention the
minute we open the front door,
the telephone rings, the noisy chill
dren in our own house, or the
house next door keep our nerves
unstrung. There is no peace, there
is no quiet, there is no harmony.
Oh yes, there is, but many of
us have never found it. 1t is here
at my back door, and yours, if
you but claim it. Come into my
garden and let me tell you about
it. When we bought this place it
had grown up in briarS and bram-
bleS sky high, to the very back
door. Having grown up in a lovely
garden as little girl l couldn't
well, as the old gardener said,
couldn't viberate without a gar
den"
We called in several men and
had the entire plot cleared in a
few days, the ground broken and
planted in grass with borders laid
off for shrubs. Having paid too
much for the house in the first
place we could not afford to buy
shrubs; friends donated limbs"
from theirs. We pushed them down
in the ground and they all grew.
Now we have a private place
where we can go out and be alone
18th the trees, the flowers, the
sky. the birds, and the bees. We
can cry. we can laugh, we can
sing, we can pray, all undisturbed

alone.

Tor automatic renewal for the
