Why Aren't All Christians

were wrong in saying that happl-

No. the truth is that plenty of

The Christian Secret

II happiness is secret. ii is an
open one. You do not have to loin
some mysterious order there are
no dues, you do not have to make
some tremendous pilgrimage TO
learn the secret Of true happiness
1t is secret known to Christians.
and the Christian brotherhood is
no closed fraternity, its doors are
wide open as the gate OF heaven.
Paul put the main point into three
Greek words which in English
mean; TO live is Christ" What
he meant his life showed plainly.
For one thing. he looked out at
the world through the eyes of
Christ. Nothing could quite dis
courage him. take the heart out Of
him; for he was as sure as Christ
is sure that this is God world and
He is the ruler yet His hands
were Christ's hands, his work was
Chrlsts work. One of Jesus last
words was that my Joy may be
in you" Paul knew what that
meant. Furthermore, Pauls whole
self was devoted to Christ. He
knew that his life, uncertain as it
was TO himself. was not uncertain
to God. He knew himself to be
gripped by the power Of the Son Of
God. He knew he was a son Of des-
tiny-not his own destiny alone but
Christs. SO he could face the fu-
ture as our Christian poet Whit
tier faced II.

Situation Fluid

this case, at least, American opinion would
be united solidly against allowing Mr.. Rhee
to call the tune to the entire free world. But
clearly there is need for more Americans to
see the basic issues through all the con-
fusion and the wishful thinking that de-
mands total victory without total war.
"Consider the situation caused by Mr.
Rhees bold attempt to prevent truce
He has wrecked the prisoner of-war
agreement hammered out by the nations of
the world He has given the Reds a huge
propaganda victory and an excuse for re
newing the war if they wish to- The loosed
prisoners are in many cases being taken into
the South Korean Army-where they will
be given American uniforms, American sup
plies and pment-though there is no
surance that they are not being impressed
into that army against their wishes and that
they will not be forced into a suicidal mill
tary venture. (Mr. Rhee seems to assume
that the United States is bound to come to
the rescue Of South Koreans if they
threaten to bring humiliation on them
selves)
This is clearly intolerable 1t will be
useful to investigate the conditions which
have allowed such situation to develop,
but not if such an investigation merely
creates new disunity in American opinion
What is more important is united America
behind the demand that the PWs be return
ed swiftly and the truce negotiations be
pressed with guarantees of South Korean
compliance,
The whole incident, with results vet
unforeseen, can help to wake Americans
and eventually the tragically deluded
koreans-to the fact that genuine coopera-
ton is the essence of free-world strength
The tail cannot ego it alone" any more than
the head. and the tail can wag the dog only
when the head is hopeessly confused"
The clouds may drop down titles and
estates
Wealth may seek u.s. but wisdom must be
sought;
Sought before all but how unlike all else

Handicaps OF Happiness

That very practical friend OF God
and man, Saint Paul. is solid
example Of how true happiness can
prevail over the most diShearten-
ing handicaps Many a man in his
situation would say to himself
Happiness is just not possible for
me. Ii things were only different,
could be happy But consider the
handicapS OF Paul happiness He
was Jew in the Roman Empire,
and Christian among JeWs-a
member Of minority group either
way you take it, He was in sit
uation where his future was most
uncertain. II Paul had waited for
security he never would have
known happiness TO his dying day
He was never well man, at the
time OF the Philippian letter he
was a prisoner Freedom, health,
security. power-he lacked all
these. But he did not lack happl-
ness. II Paul could find happiness,
so can any one.

|Economy-Minded Legislature Establishes
Expensive New State Board

At least $4,000 of hard-to-get
tax dollars will be spent this next
year in setting up the new State Pes

that when the commission gets into
full operation it will require in ex-
cess of sos, 900 annually to operate
The commission bill, Senate Bill
1, although amended in some respects
by the house, continues to be essen
TALLY the same as when first given
senate approval. Purpose of the new
commission, according to it's propon-
ents, is to establish an equitable pro-
cedure for determining fitness for
jobs, comparable wages for similar
work, etc.
One major improvement written
into SB by the house was an amend
ment that an employee of the State
serve on the commission. Another
provides for appeal to the district
court by an employee if he believes
he hasn't received justice before the
commission.
Three major Objectionable features
remaining in the bill are:
1. Personnel director with unani-
nous consent of commission, can ex-
empt any person from taking merit
examinations, etc. This exemption
provision, if unwisely used, or used
for strictly political reasons, could
bring to state employment many of
the evils that were so svident in the
days of the "Hitler Act" of the Ayers
2. The act provides no tenure to
state employees, whatsoever.
3. The legislature, rather than
board of examiners or commission,
would have to pass on all revisions of
salary schedules, after April 1, 1855.
In periods of initiation this could
work very definite financial hardships
on state employees.

is that they're three miles out to sea.

Food Makers Would Be
Required TO Prove
Chemicals N0n-Toxic

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)
Rep. James ]. Delaney (D-N. "
proposes to shift the burden of
proof to food and cosmetic MAX
ers that chemicals they use aren't
harmful to consumers. His bills
CHR 2244 and 2245) grew out of
hearings in the 82nd Congress, when
many scientists expressed the fear
that numerous chemicals haven't
been tested enough to prove their
harmlessness when consumed over
a long period. Says Delaney, Food
& Drug Administration and Public
Health Service report that only 428
of the 7O4 chemicals used in food
today are known to be safe"
For example, agene is a gas
widely used to bleach wheat flour.
Animals get fits when fed diet
of bread from agenized flour.
Whether it is harmful to humans
and in what amounts is not clear
ly established. Under Delaney's bill,
millers would have to prove it's nom
toxicity if charged with using a
harmful chemical. At present, FDA
must prove it's harmful.

EXPENSIVE DUPLICATION

Unsuccessful efforts were made
to combine the proposed personnel
commission with the Joint Merit
Council for the purpose of realizing
greater economy of operation. The
merit council, which handles employ
ment matters for 600 to 700 state
employees whose pay is in part pro-
vided by the federal government, re-
ceives an annual budget of $4,000.
It's director receives $4,000 per year.
The personnel commission head would
receive $1,000. Proponents of merg-
ing the two personnel bodies argue it
makes little sense that there should
be two administrative heads and two
separate agencies with overlapping
duties at a time when the state is
so hard-pressed for money. Because
of overlapping, administration of
personnel matters, within couple of
years will be costing the taxpayers
ninety thousand or more dollars per
year, when the same job could be done
for about $65, 900.
Approximately 5000 state jobs will
be under the jurisdiction of the new
personnel commission.
