For Whom Does the Bell Toll?'

IN sleepy southern town church bell
tolls the hour. man looks at his watch,
a housewife chances at the kitchen clock.
Just another hour. That's why the bell
tolls.
But for whom does the bell toll each
hour, for whom does the clock tick off the
trivial SO minutes? You? If you drive, Yes.
Strange associations? agreed. But Try
this experiment some day. Every time you
hear the bell toll the hour, make four
marks on a piece of paper. Naturally you
would have 90 marks at the end of the day.
But since this is an average experiment,
let's figure it in averages. Let's say 104
marks a day. and 720 marks a week, $1,000
marks a year, Quite an impressive array
of unnecessary marks right? Absolutely.

might think people could be cured
Of being greedy by giving every
body just exactly the same; but
there would be any number of
schemers figuring how to get their
share increased. You might think
people could be cured of the grab
habit by letting them have all
they want; but that seldom works.
because some of the greediest
people in history have been peo-
pie who had more than any OF
their neighbors. The Bible story

and got others to do the same. all
because he wanted Naboths vine
