"Then reckon you can forget about your sup

amt going to eat you might as well go right to bed
Get on up TO the loft now, quick as you can"
He stepped aside Without a word, Davy
marched into the cabin and started across the room
His mother was SO glad to have him safe at
home that she smiled at him when he passed the
table. So did little Becky. But Jim poked John
with his elbow.

He clenched his fist and started for Jim. go

YOU wan'ta good whipping?"
NO." Davy cried And he scrambled up the
ladder to the loft as fast as he could go.
He kicked off his naoccasins and pulled off his
homespun shirt and trousers. Then he crawled
into one of the beds on the floor
He was mad clear through Mad at Jim for
teasing him. Mad at Pa for sending him to bed
without supper. Mad at himself because he had
forgotten again to do his work around the cabin
But Davy could never be angry about anything
for very long. Humping his knees up under the
cover, he stared into the dark. And he began to
plan what he would do the next day.

the cabin wall to dry
"Then I'll fill Mas water bucket IS times if she
wants me to- And I'll hoe the rest of the corn for
Bill, and PHI"
He broke off and turned over restlessy on his
pine-needle mattress. Shutting his eyes, he tried to
forget how hungry he was.
AS he drifted off to sleep few minutes later he
did not know that next day there would be no SOUR
rel skins for him to scrape There would be no water
bucket to be filled. There would be no corn patch
to hoe.
He did not even hear the wind begin to sigh

The World Over

tales of Hans Christian Andersen"
Twenty-three accusations against
UNESCO were examined and
proved false.
After hearing the 21s -hour-long
report, the national executive COM
mittee gave Mr.. Murphy stand
ing ovation. It was evident that
fair-minded Americans, when con-
fronted with facts beyond dispute,
would accept the truth even if it
meant a change in organizational
policy.
Now they have the serious re-
sponsibility of getting this report
accepted by Mr.. Average Legion
naire, who has been conditioned by
10 years of anti-UNESCO propa-
ganda and who will need some Sc
rious re-education on this subject.
The national convention of the
Legion repudiated the Murphy re-
port this month. It was a disheart-
ening but not unexpected develop
ment. The membership en- masse
was not ready for the change.
It will be necessary to spread the
seeds of truth among the grass
roots, where it may be difficult to
nurture but where determination
and care will assure it's fullest and
most verdant growth.
This is a tack for the second
decade.

strengthen the Israelis in their po-
litical tug-of-war with the Arabs.
But there is more to the oil strike
than all this.
The Bible never spoke a dead
language to those who read 1T with
understanding But the story it told
of peoples growth and experience
was relegated to history by most.
1t was an ancient tale which was
worth re-telling but was somewhat
dated nevertheless.
To the ISraelis it is not dated. It
never has been. 1t is their source
Of history, of ethics and philosophy,
their geography text, their book of
archaeology, geology and minerol-
ogy. /,
It guided them to oil, as it had
to copper and iron. In very lit
eral sense-as for many centuries
spiritually-they have lived by the
Bible.
It catches the imagination-the
notion that this people which kept
this book alive, and this book which
kept this people alive for 1000
years, are partners today in very
new and exciting project: to re-
vitalize the land from which they
sprang, to make it strong and Sc
cure so that its way of life may
help to bring equality and freedom
to all the peoples round about.
A WHIM OF history, one might
call it; and it will never be ex-
planned.
What would have happened, let
us say, if the British who were
digging for oil at Huleikat in 1947-
48 had persevered in their search?
Palestine would have had oil sew
en- years earlier-not great diff
ference in point of time. But how
important a difference nonetheless
One can hardly imagine the
British leaving Palestine once oil
had been discovered. AS for an in
dependent Israel = could it ever
have been?

mystical. And yet this strange
turn of events leaves one breath
less with conjecture, even with
awe. Is this truly Just whim of
history, or is it an expression of
Gods purpose?
It is an old debate, but it has TAX
en- new and very exciting turn
since Israel struck oil last month.
THE FIRST 10 years were the
hardest.
The United Nations, both as an
idea and as working institution,
faced many test during its first
decade, and it has emerged strong
er and more vital than ever before.
Behind it is a record of having
saved millions Of liveS-in a mega
tive way by preventing World War
III, and in a positive way by in
creasing the hope of life in many
areas of the world.
Most important of all, it has
withstood every attack leveled
against it, and has begun to create
a favorable climate of world opin-
ion for it's future activities. Consid-
ering the odds, this is really a re-
markable achievement.
During the early years, many
groups opposed UN, accusing it of
being favorable to world govern
ment, of being communistic, athe-
istic, etc. The UN Education, Sci
entific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO), the agency with glob-
al program for combating litter
acy and for the exchange of in
formation among nations, was a
favorite target for these attacks.
The American Legion was wont
to refer to UNESCO in these terms:
"Those determined plotters who
wish to destroy our way of life, cap
ture our wealth and enSlave our
people,"
Then two years ago the Legion
appointed a committee to inveStl-
gate UNESCO and for the first time
to get the facts before the public.
Ray Murphy, former national
commander who was on record as
being opposed to the agency under
discussion, served as committee
| chairman.
For two years the study went on.
The committee examined every
charge against UNESCO. It invit-
ed opponents to testify. 1t read
every publication of the organiZa-
ton, as well as every publication
attacking it.
Last May the 4O,OOO-word report
was presented to the Legion's ma
tional executive committee. Among
the findings were these:
UNESCO is not favorable toward
world government. It is not athe-
istic. It is in no sense or no degree
communistic. Its publications are

Tax Meeting

An income Tax meeting for
New Castle County farmers will
be held on January 10, in the
Middletown Firehouse starting at
eight o'clock.
The recent changes made in the
federal tax laws and regulations
will affect the filing of 1854 in
come taxes. Some of these
changes are especially important
to farmers. The taxpayer should
be well acquainted with the exist
ing federal and state income tax
laws and regulations in order that
he be informed of his Just deduc-
tions as well as his taxable in
come. The purpose of this meet
ing is to bring together farmers
and representatives of the State
and Federal Tax Offices, thereby
providing an opportunity to dis
cuss problems involved in filing
tax returns.
Income tax returns of individual
farmers will not be computed at
the meetings, but recent changes
in tax laws win be explained and
information will be given on how
to minimize the difficulties involv-
ed in fling income taxes.
