Riches Are Risky

Actually there are many more
warnings against wealth, in the
Bible. than against poverty. The
'have's" are in mere spiritual
peril than the "have-not's. Why
this is. can be shortly stated. A
minister who had had many con-
facts among the super-rich of one
Of Americas Gold Coasts remarked
to the writer that wealth makes
the first generation hard, the sec
ond generation soft The man of
wealth may easily trust in his pos
sessions and not in God, in short
to make god out of his own prop
erty. He may test right and wrong
by what the effect is on his hold
ings.
Because his friends are mostly
among other rich people, he is con-
stantly tempted to habits, diver
3ionS, recreations, customs which
are not Christian. Further, the pos
session of wealth tends to make
the owner near-sighted; like the
rich young ruler who turned his
back on Jesus, he can neither see
clearly his own best interest nor
the needs OF men and women in the
Swallowed ways of life.

Don't Be Ruined by Riches

Now it is not true that Jesus
taught that all first-class Chris
tians must be complete paupers.
1t is not true that Jesus taught that
no one with property can be a
Christian. It is not true that Jesus
laid it down as a rule for all his
followers that they must give
away everything they have One of
his bestowed disciples was John.
who owned a home of his own. We
can recall Lydia and Barnabas
among the early Christians: we
can all name Christians who have
served God and their feilow-men
with their money When a doctor
tells a patient he must get rid of
his appendix, he is not saying that
all healthy persons must do the
same. But when an appendix is a
danger, out it must come. Now
wealth may be a danger, a source
of moral infection. The one best
way to keep from the dangers of
possessions (and these begin as
soon as we have as much as one
surplus dime) is to learn to think
of them, and to use them. as
trust from God
To be Christian in the earning
end acquiring of what we have:
to be Christian in the using of it;
to spend what we have as if Christ
were spending it; to remember
that of him to whom much is Civ
en-, much shall be required; to re-
gard what we own as so much op-
portunity for doing good, instead
of so much insurance against hard
ships; this calls for the grace of
God.

NEW YORK R - The fate of
educational television is hanging in
a balance that may be tipped one
way or the other by midyear.
1t looks now as if a large pro-
portion of the 242 TV channels set
aside for noncommercial educa-
tional stations - schools of the
air. - viii remain unclaimed by
the June 2 deadline set by the
Federal Communications Commits
sion.
The commission has warned that
after that date it may open any of
the. unclaimed channels to COM
mercial use, supplementing the
1900 channel ALLEGATIONS already
made for commercial stations.
So far, less than two dozen ap-
plications for educational stations
have been filed The commission
has granted Ia Of these.
Educators generally are enthusi-
astic about the idea of educational
stations for telecasts into schools
to supplement regular classroom
work, and into homes for adult
education courses. But the hitch is
getting the money from state legis-
latures.
Seven of the permits for educa-
tional stations have gone to the
New York State Board of Regents,
which proposes a 10-station state
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-02-11

and the fourth to the New Jersey
Department of Education for a
station at New Brunswick.
A basic question involved in edu-
cational TV is whether it's better
to set up monumental educa-
tional stations or to put educational
programs on commercial stations.
There's strong support for both
sides of the issue, with consider
able sentiment for giving CONNER
cial permits to educational insti-
tutions so they could use part of
their time for sponsored programs
that would pay part or all of their
costs.
The Iowa State College at Ames
has been operating WOI-TV since
early 1850 as a commercial sta
ton, telecasting enough sponsored
programs to meet expenses and
show a profit. It's the only edus
cational institution currently hay
ing Tv station or the air.
But several others plan to follow
the same idea. Michigan State Col

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-02-11

Last Friday this column asked
various questions regarding the or
dinance which would permit the
police to attach any car parked on
the street for a period of twenty
four hours. Though the answers to
these questions were left to the in
dividual reader, I'll be quite frank
and say that, in my opinion, sIch
an ordinance gives the police de-
partment too wide a latitude to
exercise personal indiscretion.
Sugar Sweeting felt that the
column was aimed at his wrecking
service and parking lots. He told
me: From the tone of your col

I'm working in 'cahootS' with the
City in order to get all the wreck
ing business and storage rentals.
There are no political connections
whatsoever and my business has
been built on service to the peo-
pie.
/ certainly had no intention OF
questioning Sugars" honesty. The
general opinion among those who
know him is that he is too honest
for his own good as far as political
matters go. As a reporter, I've
covered meetings when he would
walk out because the arguments in
volved we're smelling something
like over-ripe cabbage. However,
as l told Sugar" the column was
objecting to the procedures of city
government which apparently do
not distribute business equally
throughout the town. If any other
concern were to receive most of
the City business, the column
would apply to them as well.
1.-THE other wrecking businesses
do not want the calls" Sweeting
answered. at is losing PROPOSE
tion to to win a car and perhaps
have TO hold it for weeks and
months. Wrecking service within
the city limits is SIS, and l seldom
get anything out of storage"
Reese Bros. & carabailo
We made trip around town and
visited the Reese Bros. and Frank
Caraballo. These garages backed
! Sweeting's word that they did moi
want local wrecking jobs. Not any
money in it" or mo storage
space" was the reason they gave
1t would seem from their talk that
