Good Neighbors
Aid Robert Buck

Robert G. Buck, Somerford
township farmer, who has been re-
covering nicely at his home on
State Route Sc, north of Summer
ford, following recent surgery at
Mt. Carmel Hospital, received a
real demonstration of neighborly
thoughtfulness last week from a
group of Science Hill Grangers and
friends.
On Friday morning men and
tractor-powered scoops and ma
nure spreaders, arrived at the Buck
farm to assist in cleaning the barn
and sheds. A beehive of activity
followed and the job was done
so soon that Mr.. Buck says, I'm
afraid I'll be spoiled when it's time
for normal cleaning again"
Those who contributed labor or
machinery, or both, were: Perrill
Andrix and Finley Fisher, Wilbur
Boysel, George AShmore and Gusta
Byerly, Howard Beathard and Da-
vid Tooker, Lawrence Brown, Dana
Fell and Dane Woods, Branford
Gist, Robert Kennedy, Vivien and
John Overturf, Alva Riley and son,
Scott Watson, John Darlington and
John Buck.
Needless to say" remarked Mr..
Buck, I'm most appreciative, not
only of the work done, but the kind
friendliness that inspired it."

COMPARISON
A prisoner usually knows
how long he'll be in the pen
itentiary-the warden never
knows for sure.
SLOGAN
Suggested slogan for anyone
interested in the business -
You can't fuel oil the people
all of the tfme!"
PROGRESS
Attenuation seems to be the
answer to where we're going
to get the time to use that do
it-yourself kit.
SAVED
So far, nobody in the frozen
foods business has come out
with 'Davy Croquettes"
thank goodness!
TEE WEE
See by the papers that one
manufacturer will offer a color
TV for $685.. To match this, the
networks will offer 20 hours
of color shows per week. This
all adds up to the fact that If
you buy color set it will cost
you about 70 cents per hour to
watch.
LIFTING
They tell about shoplifter
who, when apprehended, was
asked why she always stole
from the same store. She re-
plied-"Where else could I
find such bargains 2"
COMMUNICATION
With all the gossip that is
heard via the grapevine" it is
a wonder that people need
telephones.
HOLY MATRiMoNY
We heard about guy who
goes home to his wife every so
often just to prove how lucky
he is when he's not home.
HUH?
The good old days were
times that if we had the
chance to go back to them, we
wouldn't.
oopITY
One of the great oddities of
the world is the fact that some
people who say they don't be-
lieve in advertising always
want the most publicity.
WELL?
A small town is a place
where there are no rich police
men.
COST
If you want to take full

Evening Post or Life IL will
cost you $18,145 and S21,775

TOMBSTONE
Woman had the words

the tombstone of her recent
husband. But she found that
he had left her nothing and,
so, had the following words
added Until We Meet
Again"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
omania" is a coined word taxi
en- from the Latin word which
means basically "a recurrent
mania to steal intimate garm-
ents." Thus, the photographers
have invented a term to cover
those college boy panty
raids we'll be hearing about
from now on.
FACT
Things change but little over
the years. We offer proof of
this by informing you all that
the most deeply rutted street
in the ancient city of Pompeii
is one that leads to tavern.
THINK
It is better to sit in the
back row and be discovered
than to sit in the first row and
be found out.
TRAVEL
No use to wait for a rocket
ship to take you to the moon
:. just walk up the national
debt which reaches there and
back.
HOME
The average man doesn't ac-
ually need that home he is
building. He was born In a
hospital, attended public school
for IL years, spent four at col
lege, met his wife in an auto
mobile and was married in
church. He spends his morn
ings at the office, his after
moons on the golf course and
his evenings playing cards at
the club. He'll no doubt die in
the hospital where he was born
and be buried from an under
takers establishment. ALI he
really needs is a bed in gar
age.

The plaintiffs, four years
ago, filed suit asking the
court to restrain the Conser-

Last winter the department

adds: Patriotism is a true
virtue and a great virtue, but
it is not the greatest virtue,
as we are sometimes led to be-

obedience to our country.
However, we never forget
that our country is not a

New Picture Book. Edition
of New Testament Published

A new edition of the New
Testament, the first of its,
kind, designed to give both
the Biblical scholar and the
ordinary reader a new insight
into the life and times of Je-
sus and the Apostles, was
published monday, June 27)
by the American Bible So
ciety.
Produced by rotogravure in
modern picture book" style
and tiled, "The Good News"
it contains 566 photographs,
nine maps and six diagrams
to illustrate and clarity vari-
GUS portions of the New
Testament text in the light
of recent archaeological and
historical studies.
The project, described by
the Society as ga milestone in
the printing and distribution
of the New Testament" in
volved over five years of plan
ming and research and was
the: creation of DR.. Gilbert
Darlington, Society treasurer.
Unrest in Bible lands gave
urgency to the preparation
of volume, DR.. Darlington
pointed out. "By accident, or
through international VOL
ence, the treasures of New
Testament times may be des-
troyed. THE Good News will
preserve forever a record of

and cities. The pavement

of Herod Agrippa at Jerico,
the Damascus Wall-places
that Jesus, His Diciples and
Paul saw, are accessible to-
day. The use of visual techni-
ques, too, makes Christ's
world live for children"
To facilitate reading, the
text is arranged in modern
paragraph form without chap
ter and verse markings. Many
of the photographs are of
geographical areas and OBJ
jects which are virtually UNI
changed since the lifetime of
Jesus and the Apostles. Twen-
ty-one of the photographs
were taken from the air while
closeups were taken of such
items as mosaics, statues,
manuscripts, wall paintings,
glassware, coins and similar
items.
For some photographs,
lengthy negotiations, some
times as much as three years,
were required. One such pic
ture was of the small volcanic
island of Patmos, where John
wrote the Book of Revela-
tions, and which required the
permission of the air minis
tries of the British and Greek
governments, the Greek In
formation Service, and the u.
S. Civil Aeronautics Board.
The new edition will be
sold for two dollars postpaid.

upon the words of Lincoln:
ut is the duty of nations as
well as men to own their in
dependence upon the over
ruling power of God"
Lincoln, the article de-
clareS, was a true patriot be-
cause he loved the greatness
of America and did not per-
NIT that love to blind him to
her very real faults. He was
a true patriot because he
knew that, glorious as is our
country, it does not stand
above God, nor equal with
God, but beneath God and
subject to him.
''Patriotism," Father Nc
Donnell adds, "is not some
thing we can choose to cult
vate or choose to do without.
1t is not the same as choosing
between going golfing and not
going golfing. We have a
duty for which God will hold
us responsible"
He concludes: Love is not
Invisible. We love our coun-
try, we serve it, we will die
for it. But this love is neither
divorced nor distinct from
our love of God. From the
love Of God all other loves
flow, and in the love of God
all other loves find their ulti-
mate strength. We love
America with more passion
and with more courage be-
cause we love God above all
things and because God gave
us America, and He loves it
too"
