free trade means lowering. not raising

has rented and area east of its plant on
Fourth street, from which residential
buildings will be removed and this area
be used for private parking If and when
the factory building at North and Third
street recently acquired by the Presbyterian
church is removed this would make an ideal
parking area for the business section We
suggest that the Chamber of Commerce
investigate the possibility of securing this
area for public parking. With such an adj
dition to the facilities now in effect, Farm
ville's parking problem would be solved for
years to come.
Many new customers are coming to
Farmville stores and the excellent parking
facilities are a major factor in bringing
them from sections nearer to some of the
larger cities. We are thankful for the con-
venient parking spaces in Farmville.

Taken For Granted

200 often we take for granted the things
we have in our community The services
offered by our merchants; the fine stores
which assemble and have for US the best
products possible; the cultural programs
presented in the community; the excellent
and inspiring church services and religious
events: and hundreds Of other things which
20 to make up the life of this community;
are taken for granted. In fact, we believe,
too many of our citizens take too much for
granted and some fail to assist in maintain
ing the fine community which was built over
a period Of years by enterprising men and
women. who contributed not only their
means but also their enthusiasm and labor
TO establish these many blessings for us.
This community is satisfied with only
the best that can be obtained. For this we
can he thankful because it has inspired the
people Of the community to provide the
best.

brings to our attention the impression made
upon a visitor who CHANGED to stop here He
has seen Farmville effectively and without
prejudice compared it with other places he
knows. His fair appraisal wells within us
feeling of pride in our town and our com
munity We believe his appraisal is correct
because we know that this community has
the best Of things, because it demands the
best.
This is not to say that anything we have
is perfect. nor that we have sense of self
satisfaction. On the contrary, we know our
imperfections and are prone to be too
critical without considering the many fine
things we do enjoy. Farmville and this en-
tire section have much to be proud Of and
we too often take for granted our inStitu-
tons and heritage.
The 'Passerby" has appealed to our
pride, but he has also stimulated our de-
termination to maintain and develop Farm
vile on the same high plane which has been
set in the past. Every citizen owes this much
to the community in which he lives.

For Which We Are Thankful

exist in every town and city. The main bust
ness sections were jammed with traffic
and parking was difficult when not i'm
possible. Parking meters were in general
use regardless of the size Of the town or
city. No where did we find free parking so
close to the business section as exists in
Farmville 1t is of little comfort to know
that every other town has a parking prob
lem, but we can be thankful that the NUM-
cipal lots have been established in Farm

visitors who come here on business.

Dehydrated foods appeal to
campers because Of their con-
siderable saving in weight and
bulk. Below are those which Col.
Townsend Whelen has found by
long experience to be highly de-
sirable:
Powdered whole milk-Thc best
substitute for fresh milk and
cream. One pound per week is
enough for two campers. A heap
ing tablespoon stirred in cup OF
cold water makes milk, and two
tablespoons made cream. 1t is a
little difficult to mix with cold
water so Colonel Whclen has a
small cocktail shaker which also
serves as cream pitcher.
Dehydrated egg poWder-Very
useful in puddings and cakes. A
heaping tablespoon soaked few
minutes in an equal amount OF
water equals one egg. Cooked by
itself it does not match the taste
of fresh eggs. but scrambled with
choped-up liver. kidneys or dried
beef it makes an appetizing dish
Powdered instant coffec-Far
preferable to the ground article
for camp.
Bouillon cubes - Make a not
drink that is often more apprecl-
ated and has more pickup
value than tea or coffee. Also
excellent for flavoring soups.
Pea and Bean Powders--These
make excellent and filling soups
in a few minutes. Stir into hot
water and bring to boil, making
the soup as thick as you wish.
Pinole-Useful for back-packers
who have to strip down to MIMI
mum weight and bulk. Two table
spoons stirred into cup OF cold
water makes an insipId, tasteless
Cruel, but it sticks to the ribs and
gives energy for many hours as
no other food but fresh meats will.
To make it appetizing add a
spoonful of milk powder and one
of cocoa to the mixture and dou-
bic the amount of water.

Gus porridges appetizing is in

Love Is the Miracle

Two heSitations cloud the mind.
Is it not selfish to ask for the great
est thing in the world? Should
We not rather be contented with
lesser gifts? The answer to this
hesitation is that this divine kind
Of love is precisely Unselfshness
itself To ask COR the grace Of I'M
selfshness is surely no selfish
prayer. Another hesitation is this:
Is not this divine thing, this thing
that outlives and outlasts wisdom
and miracles and martyrdoms-
is not this too high for us? Is it
not a miracle itself. SO rare We
should not know what to do with il
il we had it? Well it is rare in
deed. and with the exception Of
our Lord there was never life
that shone with it from beginning
to end Yet we who have known
Christian homes and Christian peo-
pie have seen this miracle, we
have lived in its light. 1t is a
miracle indeed: but it is not one
to lift us above the clouds, it is
one to keep our feet on the ground.

Mighticr Than the Mind

Love is also better than some
thing else we all admire and would
like to have as much OF as pos
sible. II is better and mighuer than
mental genius. The world around
us is full Of mysteries. A child can
ask questions the wise cannot an
sWer. II only knew! is thought
that has occurred to every one.
Each OF us thinks he would be
happier if he knew all the answers.
We feel sure we could do more
and be more il our minds were
even just little sharper than
they are. But Paul reminds US that
even if our prayers for insight
and wisdom were all answered.
even if we had such wisdom that
not single question would be left
unanswered mot that any such
thing is likely to happen soonD.
We should still amount to precise
ly nothing. if we did not have love.
Paul does not say that mental pow
er is a bad thing, he did not say
that miracles are no good. What
he does say is that miracles minus
love. or mind minus love, will not
fulfill Gods dreams. nor ours.
