Mental Care Seen

COLUMBUS-One of the cMti-

for the mentally i'll.
Republican leaders who are guild
ing the current session of the leg
islature have come up with a three
point mental health plan which
they believe will solve the prob
lem. In addition, they have propos-
ed a method of financing what is
estimated to be a $10-million pro-
gram.
The program was decided upon

a member of the West Jefferson
WCTU entertained the local Union
at the home of Mrs. Edith Stephen
son for their April meeting. Twen-
ty-five members and one guest
were present to enjoy the hospit-
ality of their hostess.
Mrs. Grace Truitt, acting PreSl-
dent for the day, opened the meet
ing with a call for the salutes to
the Flags, followed by few we'll
chosen words of greeting. She read
a poem especially suitable for this
time of year, "A Package of Seeds"
taken from Edgar A. Guest
Broadcasting". A stanza from it is
thought-provoking: AS he looked at
a 1oc package of seeds he thought,
You've a dimes worth Of power
which no man can create,
You've a dimes worth of life in
your hand,
You've a dimes worth of mys-
terry, destiny, fate,
Which the wisest cannot under
stand.
- In this bright little package. now
ent it odd,
You've a dimes worth Of some
thing known only to God"
Mrs. Dema Bentley used the
theme PRAYER" for her devctionS.
Reading various definitions of
prayer and what it means TO
mankind in need of faith and in
spiration, she quoted V. L. Craw-
ford, Prayer helps to form the
steel of spirituality" within the
soul. Prayer imparts peace with
in. las high as the mountain as
deep as the sea" - by creating a
Christlike serenity of soul Pray
PR generates courage within, and
{ stand erect, taller of soul and
converse with God, listening to the
whisperings of His will, and learn
the great lesson of life, that this
world is merely a place to grow
souls in, and that this life is only
the introduction of life eternal.
Many other thoughts gave a new
conception of prayer. She read two
poems. Devotions were closed with
the singing of the Hymn Il
Would Be True.
Usual business procedures fol-
lowed, with discussions of interest
to the group. Ten cards have been
sent out this month to sick and
shut-ins. One of the outstanding
reports was that of Miss May
Belle Keyser on the market and
bake sale, which she supervised.
She reported that $4,000 had been
cleared and thanked everyone in
the Union and Community who
helped to make this sale a big. sue
cess. A rising vote Of thanks was
extended by the Union. Part of
the proceeds will be used to meet
the National Christian Citizenship
Crusade Budget, and part for Local
projects. A donation will be given
to the Religious Education in the
Schools program. Inc treasurer
reported that the School-Band
fund and Teen-Canteen contribu-
toions had been paid.
Mrs. Jane Braithwaite brought
the Secretary's Book containing
the records of the local Union from
1905 to 1881, which Mrs. Sarah
Elliott had recently returned tc
the organization. Some of the mem.
berS present had belonged to this
temperance organization sin c {
1908. One name appeared prom
inently for many years beginning
with 1905-that of Mrs. Lizzie
Booth-who was an active mem.

Astronomy Notes
Nv OLAF HAI.VERSQN

During the past week the moon
has been displaying beautiful
phenomenon called the Hunters
Moon. 1t is characterized by the
enlarged apparent size of the
moon when full and on the east
ern horizon. A similar appearance
a month ago has been given the
name of Harvest Moon.
The moons eastward movement
among the stars is about Is de-
grees every day. Our ordinary
time is derived from the sun,
which is not stationary among the
stars but also moves eastward
every day about twice its own
width or one degree. Therefore
the eastward gain of the moon on
the sun is twelve degrees.
If the moon is on the horizon
at seven o'clock on one evening,
it will be IL degrees below the
horizon on the following evening.
This causes the moon to rise about
so minutes later each day.
However, at this season of the
year, because the orbit of the
moon is greatly inclined and
makes small angle with the hor-
izon,' it appears early and en-
larged.

Hypnotized Coed Unable
To Pick Up 100000 On

HOLLYWOOD, IA hypno-
TIED college coed couldn't break

Friday night.
In the stunt, a night club enter
tainer, Arthur Ellen, hypnotized
Miss Morris and told her she was
physically unable to rise and pick
up the 100000 from a table a
few steps away.
Master of ceremonies Jack
Bailey urged her to Get up, Pat
but she didn't bulge within the
20-second time limit. Ellen seem
ed relieved. He aroused Miss Nor
ris by clapping his hands.
She said later she couldn't re-
member what happened during
the 20 seconds. When a reporter
asked if she felt sorry about los
ing, she cheerfully replied: Il
never had it to lose"
