WlLLSCREEk - The farmers
in our neighborhood are not
going to put out any more crops
than they can handle themselves.
Some of the boys have gone to
the army and others have gone
to the factories, where they get
big pay, much more than the
farmers can afford to pay.
But when their social security,
income tax, and plenty Of other
expenses are taken out, maybe
they would be just as well off if
they would work for us farm
ers. Of course there would be no
board bills and not much other
expense.

Circuit Rides Again
By EVELYN WEAVER

Indeed, these are busy days for
your rural parish worker. She has
been kept pretty close to desk
activities. There is great deal OF
detail work to get an Institute
and rally moving. 1t is part OF
my job which is far from a bed
of roses. We all have duties IN
our jobs. On our farms, or in our
homes which seem so much like
chores. After spending so much
time in the Extension office with
mimeographing etc, you might
inquire of Vina Hedge how dill
ferent it is for me to do these
chores to the glory of God. 1t
makes no difference how big or
small your job or vocation may
be, there are always chores.
This last week was not all

freshment in helping Sarahsvllle

Communion, and Quarterly Con-
ference. | was encouraged to see
so many folks out and so many
young people of high school age.
Next week, we are trying some
thing q little new in the county
For some time, | have felt that l,
nor the church, nor the commun-
ity, was meeting the challenge OF
our older youth--those out OF
school and still around the
county--the ones at work on the
farms, in the stores, or at the
plant. And so on Thursday, Mar
II at 1880, I am inviting all older
youth, between ages of 10 or ~
up through the tWenties, to come
to the basement Of the Caldwell
Methodist church. I have no way
of finding out who all OF you
are. but | am sending out notices
to those | have seen and know
about. There is no planned pro-
gram. Just get-together to see
what possibilities there are. Let
us remember that good and
worthwhile things have small be-
ginnings.

Make Life Beautiful So.
James w. Sullivan

Observation is the key to sue
cess and unlocks the door TO new
ideas.
Most of US realize, when we say
I'VE need new blood" that what
we really mean in that we need
some new ideas. That is why we
change our elected officials and
have vacations. We are constantly
in need Of new ideas.
How does one go about getting
new ideas? It's a simple process
one does it by observation
and thinking for example,:
Robert Fulton was an artist but
he built the steamboat; Eli Whit
ney was school teacher but he
invented the cotton gin. So you
and l have as much opportunity
of getting ideas because one idea
will produce any amount of ideas
as seed of corn when planted.
When we observe things and
gather all the facts, the next
thing is to form our own con-
clusion. No one can really get a
good idea that can control him,
unless it comes from his own
university" He may not, after
gathering all the facts, see things
as others do, so his ideas are ori-
ginal. We are on the road to be-
coming independent when we
start thinking and observing
things for ourselves. Each man is
responsible for his own thoughts.
If we only pass thru this world
bat once, we'd better stop, look
and listen. Then we can see our
goal.
TN this age of conformity, we
get the impression that we have
to be like the crowd. AS indivi-
duaLs, we must remove this
thought, for in the process of ad-
vancement, someone has to be
hold and stand for independence
and freedom Of thought.
1t is UP to each of US to make
the best of our lives. The Bible
says Whatsoever you SOW, SO
shall ye reap" This is good
idea. With this conviction in
mind, We can and will SOW good
ideas and reserve good in re-
turn. Like attracts like, a never
failing law of the universe.
See and claim your good. In
living the victorious life, we
must take the advice Of Jesus,
Have faith in God
Since we are created in the
image of God, we can have faith.
There are many hidden ideas
written herein. Have you observ-
ed them? If you have, you can
make life beautiful

there remains not more than one
in ten; Of those here in my faith
er's time, not more than two or
three; and of those still here in
my own time, not more than four
or five They are all dead or gone
elsewhere; while we, the snake
catchers, alone survive.
Harsh tyrants sweep down
upon us and throw everybody
and everything, even to the brute
beasts, into paroxysms of terror
and disorder. But | get up in the
morning and look into the jar
where my snakes are kept; and if
they are still there, | lie down

fit to be handed in; and when

my life. The rest is peaceful en-
ough and not to be compared with
the daily round of annoyance
which falls to the share of my
fellow villagers. And even though
| were to die now in this en-
ploy, I should still have outlived
almost all of my contemporaries.
Can | then complaint
'The story gave me food for
much sad reflection. l have al
ways doubted the saying of Con-
fucius that bad government is
worse than tiger but now |
feel its truth. Alas! who would
think that a tax-collector is more
VenomouS than a Snake?'
What Liu Tsung Yuan said
eleven hundred years ago is just
as true today. 1t always has been
and ever will be, an immutable
law Of economics that when gov
ernments squander the substance
of the people, thereby necesSitat-
ing the levying of back breaking
taxes, the people come to abhor
those taxes more than the risk
of death itself.
No patriotic American quib-
bles about one single necessary
penny the government is spend
ing on defense and for legitimate
domestic purposes, but it be-
hooves our legislators to see that
not single penny is wasted. The
Eisenhower administration has
made an auspicious beginning to-
ward pairing expenses and the
Congress gives every indication
that it will go along with the
program.
To be able, first of all, to bal
ance the budget and, secondly, to
cut taxes, the President and the
Congress need your backing and
mine. Let your Representative
and Senators know that you are
behind them in the economy
drive. But don't stop there.
When they support measures for
cutting government waste, let
them hear from you with a let
ter of thanks and commentator.
Even a Congressman can do with
a pat on the back, now and then.
