GOOD
ALWAYS
'OUTS'
BY JUNE L'RHUE

NEW 1OOr, NGlOOcAD is
never lost-not for long anyway.
Regardless of the circumstances
under which it may become tenn
porarily submerged, it always
works its way to the top.
Ancient Rome was at one time
entombed by ashes belched from
Mt. VeSuviuS. Much of the glory
for which she was known was sud-
denly put out of sight. Buried be-
meath a molten blanket, and os-
tensibly lost forever, were various
forms of art--paintings, sculpture,
architecture of civilization which
at that time. was at peak.
Years passed. On top of those
ashes another civilization rose, men
almost forgetting what lay under
meath. Finally, through the work
of excavating parties, the truth
about a beautiful ancient city
came to light. Even the kind of
art the ancient Romans applied to
cookery is common knowledge to-
day, because in one of the mu-
seums there is a collection of
pieces of Roman bread, perfectly
preserved in the same artistic
shape as when it was baked in AID.

Take the secondhand book store,
for another instance. Good litera-
ture, seemingly destined to discard,
somehow has found it's way to a
place where it might sojourn until
buyers have appeared on the scene
A minister of New York was
searching for certain rare vol
ume not long ago. He knew the
search might not be Immediately
rewarding, but he kept on his
optimistic way, checking book
stores on end. Finally, his,mind lsS'
him to turn into a small insignifi-
cant looking secondhand store
which he happened to spy. The
store keeper was sure he did not
have the copy, but the minister
felt sure he did and in a moment,
laid eyes on the very book he was
seeking. Good finds a way.
Good words are neevr lost either
Somebody may use an expression
which describes or defines a situa-
ton better than any word in the
dictionary. This happens every day.
The word may go long way
around, but two to one it will wind
up in common use and ultimately
reach the dictionary. Lexicograph-
ers are benefactors of good because
they keep their ears to the ground
for words that will strengthen our
language. So, when the dictionary
is revised, it is because good words
have worked their way to recogni-
ton.
There book on art on the
market called Trash Craft" It is
used in the art departments of
many public schools. The purpose
of the author seemed to have been
related to this very idea The book
is devoted to ways of creating
beautiful objects out Of things that
were once considered trash. Old tin
cans, old bottles, old buttons,
acorns may not have had the ap-
pearance of being good. but just
the same, they were. Trash Craft"
has helped to bring that goodness
out
We thought the atomic bomb was
only weapon of destruction when
it was first invented. But there was
plenty of goodness mixed up with
the bad, and that goodness was
destined to become a benefit to
man. Now the scientists tell us
that life is being preserved by the
very tool which was invented for
our destruction.
So, there is little need for worry
if the good purpose and the good
purpose implementation of the
United Nations seem lost. Good al
ways "outs." 1t feeds on super
natural elements and will not re-
main forever inferred. The thing
to remember is to keep the good
