Sharing the honor

They simply begged us TO ac-
cept their gifts and so let them
share the honor Of supporting their
brothers in Christ SO Phillips
translates ii Cor. "a. Paul is de-
scribing the way in which the
churches up in Macedonia had
contributed to what we would call
the benevolent funds. Christian CIV
ing is all in the way the giver looks
at it. II it is thought Of as a bur
den, if it is thought Of as something
only the wealthy can rightly do, if
il is thought Of as something the
preacher keeps begging for,
kind Of chore at best, then of
course the giving won't be much. 1t
will be only enough to keep from
giving nothing at all But giving
in the cause of Christ. for the use
and help Of God S people. is an OPP
portunity. not chore. There is all
the difference in the world between
the giver who says Gn effect.
We'll, if you must have some
thing . ;" and the one who says,
DO let me get in on this"

In other words, the economic phase of
the cold war is getting hotter While we do
not wish to see any U. S. industry suffer
unnecessarily we point out that gradually
reduced tariff will allow the u. S. consumer
to buy many goods at lower prices If tariffs
are lowered too drastically, many consum-
ers could. of course, be put out of the mar
ket since the job they have might be in an
industry which is eliminated in drastic
tariff reduction
The issue is a complicated one and one
which the present Administration is now
reviewing. President Dwight D. Eisenhower
has indicated to foreign representatives that
he favors gradually reducing tariffs. That
must be our goal, if our trade with the out
side world is to be expanded

Lower Tariffs

IT is becoming increasingly clear that if
the United States reduces the amount of
foreign aid to its allies. pressure to lower
tariff on some foreign goods will increase
tremendously.
Business leaders from all over the world
recently gathered in Vienna and u. s. bust
ness men reported concern over u. S. tariff
policies in the coming months was consider
able.
The chief spokesman for the United
States at this meeting was Warren Lee
Pierson, chairman of the United States
Council of the international Chamber of
Commerce. Reassurng business represent
tatives from foreign countries, Pierson said
he had never been more optimistic on the
prospect that I. S. trade policies will gra-
dually become less restrictive

United States for raw materials are cur

limitations on the work that one office one
staff can do.
Our approval lies in the willingness of
Virginia counties, once a solid entity in
every phase of puolc administration to
come to the realization that not everything
can best be run within tight little area,
about which the boundaries of a county
have been placed.
When we are prepared to go even furth-
er, prepared to cut across county lines to
area considerations, we believe greater
benefit Will accrue to more people. There
are now inequities that will resist solution
until we are ready to say we are Tor educa-
ton first and boundaries second
We look favorably at moves in this d.
rection and creation of a division where two
counties were previously is such move.

Your Feet Are Killing You

nR. Simon j. Wilker. Baltimore chiro-
podist says modern shoe design forces
most of us to cram our feet into space too
small for them. Because the toes are cramp-
ed the base support for the body is not only
reduced, but the body distorted to compen-
safe for the fault, he says.
This, in turn, leads to a slanting pelvis,
a slumped chest, and rounded shoulders,
among many other things. This unnatural
position places a stress on many body struc-
lures. which strains tissues, distorts mus
cles and Jams bones together
DR.. Wilker believes the end result is
often cancer, rheumatic fever arthritis, al
lergies, neurosis and other serious body
breakdowns
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1953-06-05

The best remedy, he says, is to go bare
foot. The next best thing is to wear shoe
which allows your feet complete freedom.
Women are advised to wear saddle oxfords
and other low-heel shoes providing plenty
Of foot room. and men are advised to wear
more Indian moccasins. Men should also re-
move their shoes when they come home from
work and put on slippers.
Men should also try playing golf bare
foot. according to DR.. Wilker And, if that is
impossible, take your shoes off and run
around for an hour or an hour and half.
Il the running doesn't kill you, in this heat,
your foot structure will probably be i'm
proved.

Cutting County Lines

4 county line we have maintained for some
: time, is not the shortest distance to bet
ter school finances.
Because we believe that area administra-
ton, where conditions warrant it, is sound
er than control based on county lines, we
note with approval that four new school
divisions were created at recent meeting
of the State Board of Education.
Those newly approved groupings made
single division for each Of these pairs of
localities: Charles City and New Kent
counties; Allegheny county and the City
of Covington; York county and Warwick
City. and James City county and the City
of Williamsburg.
Our approval does not come from a be-

The Lord Loves

The Bible does not encourage
any one to fancy that he can buy
his way into Gods favor. God
smile is not for sale God loves a
cheerful giver. even though He sell
dom turns away givers Of any
sort. A sour and selfish man might
be high-pressure into gloomily
squeezing a few dollars into tAe
church budget, and those dollars
will do some good: but the Bible
does not suggest that God cares
much for that sort OF giving. Giving
till it hurts may be good; but
giving till it doesn't hurt is better
We remember Jesus comment on
the offering Of the wealthy Phari-
sees and the poor widow. Is there
any one who can think God loved
her and them alike?

British Coronation

The tie between the people of the British
Commonwealth of Nations; the meaning
OF coronation ceremony; the devotion to-
the ruler, and the basic religious tenets of
the Constitutional Monarchy impressed us
on Tuesday as we saw the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth ii, through the miracle of
the television
thousands of her subjects lined the
streets as Elizabeth passed in her trip from
buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
Many of them had braved for 48 hours the
dreary London weather in drizzling tenn
perature of less than so degrees. Loyalty
under such conditions almost becomes fan
atical. English people from every part of
the world were in London for this i'm
portant event which testifes further to the
affection and loyalty toward the ruler
Marked by spendor and pagentry the
ceremony handed down for more than 1000
years to be used by each succeeding British
ruler. was impressive in its simplicity.
Priceless jewels became the symbols of
Christian relations between ruler and those
ruled Gorgeous fabrics and robes were
Invested by the Queen during her coronation
for simple dress as she was Amounted by
the Bishop of Canterbury in preparation for
the great obligation she was to assume. And

ton and cooperation Of the various govern

Carrying Through

So there are three principles Of
Christian giving: personal dedica-
ton, sense of privilege in shar-
ing Gods work, and enthusiasm.
AS Paul puts it tagain Phillips
translationl Show that you can
complete what you set out to do with
as much efficiency as you showed
readiness to begin II Cor. BID
A good Lords Acre project calls
for more than enthusiasm in the
springtime. 1t has to have hard
work most of the summer. The
work of the church, and indeed
every undertaking for the welfare
OF mankind, is best carried on
not by those who blow all their
steam at once, but by those who
save up some steam for the long
steady pull. Long mileage is worth

While breezes stir the flowers of June
Gray m SITS from the pond rise;
The sun with beauty sinking low,
In glory fades and dies
Then through the veil of twilight time
star above me CLEANS.
With dew Of eve soft shadows fall
To veil the earth in dreams
Then nights soft music in the wood
Calls wood elfs to awake
As night birds chirp and crickets blend
With bullfrogs in the lake.
Inside a small enchanted ring,
BY colored toad stools made,
Nocturnal fairies dance in glee
And revel in the glade
BY FREELY torch and silver light
Beamed in a new moons ray
The kattydids. and wee tree frogs
Their squeaky fiddles play
The woodland elfs and fairies romp
Through June's warm summer night
In ferny glades where moonbeams play,
Secure from mortal sight
Wrapt in dreams, the sand-rimmed eyes
Of sleeping children see
Faint visions of these elfin folks
Beyond reality
Moving as fair Titania bids
Beneath the stars and moon,
When honeysuckle scents the breeze
In the fair month of June.

2.-Chief Justice William Clark
Of the United States court sys-
tenn in Germany disclosed today
he had written the State De-
partment he is willing to go
home at his own expense to
discuss his recent dismissal.
Justice Clark charged that
the State Department fired him
because he refused to "bow to
it's conception of a judge as an
Office boy" and said that "the
State Department denied that
any disciplinary reasons were be-
hind the dismissal, which was
described as an economy mea-
sure.
The former Princeton IN. j.
jurist said shortly after his oust-
er that he would ignore a State
Department order calling him
home for 80 days of consulta-
ton.
Today, however, he said he
had written UnderSecretary Wall
ter Bedell Smith, under whom
he served in the Army, that his
objection was to the State De-
partment ordering me home in
stead Of asking me-" He added
"I cannot, in the public in
terest, leave my Office for 80 days.

have already been argued and
