WHAT If?

What if the sun refused to shine,
And the world grew dark and cold?
What if the rain refused to fall
Or the seasons to unfold?
What if the birds ceased to sing,
Or destroy the insect pests?
What if the trees refused to. leave
But stand there so undressed?
What if the streams ceased to flow
And we had naught to drink?
What if the moon refused to glow,
And the little stars to blink?
Let us enjoy our blessings
That we have to-day,

He could take them all away.

travel for the first 10 days of JULY
PSI, 341 was running 80 per cent
ahead of 54's 258, 1896, park officials
reported Wednesday.
Here are the figures for the en-
frances:
North Gardiner: 81,771 (78,915)

South (Jackson): IA, 633, (134, 549)

Despite the fact the travel has in
creased this year business of parl
concessions is off considerably this
year. The number of meals served
by the park cafeterias are off 5000
while on only two nights so far this
year has the house count for all lodg
ing accommodations exceeded 5000
despite total capacity for $500. Ii
many instances the house count has
been less than 1000.
However, an analysis by park of
flcials indicates that apparently
many park visitors obtain housing
accommodations at Gardiner, Wes1
Yellowstone, Jackson, Cooke and Sill
yer Gate. From these points they
re-enter the park several times. This
is because Of the increased re-entry
figures which show gain this year
OF 1873 per cent. By entrances the
re-entry percentages are: Northeas,

Mail HBaS; q;

This IS an open letter to a boy
about eighteen, who forced me
off the road while cutting in
sharply and passing me on a hill
yesterday afternoon.
Dear Son; You may think you
are a good driver, and perhaps
you are. But I'd like you to keep
in mind that most of your skill
fur driving is due to other
motorists.
Anybody can whip along the
road as fast and as carelessly as
you were doing. There's no trick
to that-the new cars are loaded
with power and pickup-too
much SO, I'm afraid. Just remem-
Der that it was my alertness that
prevented an accident on the
hill, not yours. And the driver
who was approaching us also
had to brake suddenly and
sWerve in order to save your
life and his.
1t is not your courage or dex-
terity that has kept you alive as
long as this, but the prudence
and politeness Of other motorists
You have been trading on our
good will and sense of self-pre-
servation.
wish it were possible to point
out to you that your kind of
driving is nothing but bad man
ners-it is not heroic or adven-
turous or manly Supposing you
ran down crowded street, push
ing people out of your way,
knocking packages out of ladies'
hands and kicking children into
the gutter What would be so
heroic or manly about that
Nothing, of course. Then why
do you suppose that having 5000
pounds of steel under you makes
it any better? There's nothing
to be proud of in driving fast
any fool can do that. It's form
OF cowardice to threaten other
drlVers-not courage.
Suppose you beat me at the
getaway. or up a hill? What does
that prove? Nothing, except that
the car you bought is faster. You
didn't make it; it's a commercial
product Anybody can buy one
like it-and anybody can drive
with a maniacal disregard for
safety,
So don't take any pride in your
deadly accomplishment. A real
man is considerate and polite
and takes chances only when it
counts, when his honor and con
science call out for it.
On the highway, most Of all,
its easy to tell the men from the
boys-for the men have to save
the boys from the consequences
of their foolish and needless
bravado Sydney Harris, in

There are but comparatively
few living residents of Noble
county who were of the genera
tions previous to the time of the
turning of days into the present
century that remember that the
county possessed, at far differ
ent times, two colleges of wide
spread note However, during the
earliest days of the county fol-
lowing its formation in the year
of 1851 there were many highly
educated residents thereof, some
of whom gained high prominence
in life. In the latter class two,
Leroy D. Brown and Charles c.
Davidson, became state school
commissioners of Ohio, while
others in lesser positions reach
ed pinnackles of fame in the
year following.
The first educational institu-
ton of this kind was the
organization, by Rev. Randall
Ross, of sharon College, locat-
ed at Sharon, three miles west
of Caldwell, which came into
existence long before the days
of the Civil War in the 1905
Despite various conditions at the
time the attendance at the start
was most creditable, the mother
of this writer, while yet in her
teens, was one among the first
students, and as time passed the
attendance grew until the college
gained prominence all over much
of the entire eastern section of
Ohio. But the horrors of the
Civil War caused the patronage
to so continuously decline that
the closing of the institution
became necessary. However, the
building that had housed the
college remained standing and
was later used for a great many
years as the villages public
school building-this writer be-
ing one of the kid pupils at
school during some three years
of his childhood. One of his
teacher was Frank M. Gill, who
will be remembered by the few
older residents of the Sharon
community. Another of the like
pupils still living is Tommy l..
Marquis, who is yet d resident
of Sharon.
The other college, in reality a
business school, was inaugurated

Wonder how many people
living in the Valdese area are
making the same mistake we
have been making? If you call
your minister Reverend Adair,
Reverend Beaman," Reverend
Clark, Reverend Devine,' Rev
erend Ross, or Reverend Styles,
you are making a grave social
error! The correct term is plain
old Mister
Even Emily Post says so!
But as many of Us of the So
called common herd tend to
'Scoff' at what she has to say,
Wen quote other sources also.
Alexander Woolcott used to call
this error in speech a light
hearted vulgarity.
Time Magazine took it more
seriously, commenting on the
abolition of its usage by the
ministers of Lansing, Mich,
when it said: Nothing so in
furiates a minister named Jones
as being called Reverend
JONES' y Reverend is an adjective,
not title. If a parson is not
doctor, he is, like other men,
minister
In commenting on the protest
of those Lansing ministers, The
Christian Century called the
error AN odious practice, which,
beginning with the illiterate and
unchurched, as spread in recent
years until one is no longer safe
from it even in the columns of
metropolitan dailies or on the
platforms of urban churches
Frank Colby, in his syndicat-
ed word column, makes it clear:
Reverend should never be used
as a noun. 1t is not a title like
Doctor, Captain, Mayor
"The World Almanac puts it
succinctly: "A clergyman should
never be referred to as "a Rev
erend' or addressed as 'Rever-
end Blank Reverend should be
used only as Honorable is used.
it is The Rev. Mr.. Blank or The
Rev. John Blank but never
Reverend Blank
Add to those The Valdese
News, who say Don't
"Once a man Cor woman)
realizes that the word means
worthy of reverence" he is
reluctant to acquiese in its use.
Most ministers that we know
want to be respected or admired
or to be cordially regarded, but
they don't want to be reverend
They choose to be considered on
a much more friendly basis. And
even if a man did feel himself
to be worthy of reverence, it
would not be good form to
placard himself with the claim.
In view of the confusion
resulting from the use and mis-
use of this term--eVen by some
ministers-it is not surprising
that the once-considered litter
ate practice has made its gains.
There are two courses which
might be followed. One would

be to teach the correct usage as
these paragraphs seek to do
Many people want to know what
is considered proper They want
to understand this point. There.
fore, if it is worth the effort. we
can teach the correct usage by
precept and example. And, by
example, in the future your
Valdese News will use the term
correctly.
There is also another course,
but we don't know how many
would be willing to follow it.
That way would seem to be
in the spirit of that Man of Cali
lee who never seemed much con-
cerned about titles and proper
recognitions and the like. You
could never conceive of address,
ing that first Christian minister
as The Reverend Jesus Christ.
1t is as difficult to think of
speaking to any of the apostles
so, including Paul.
After all, the one place this
word is used in the Bible is not
about man but in reference to
God: Holy and reverend in HIS
name (Ps. 1l1:9).
"Someday, all the ministers
may rise up to renounce all the
smacks of forms that seek to
accord them a preferment that
must be earned. For them, Min
ister' or plain John Smith will
be good enough.
1T would seeem to clarity the
point enough to say, use The
Reverend only with a mans full
name or initials, as The Rever-
end John T. Smith, or The Rev.
J. T. Smith, and never use it as
direct address.
''The usage is difficult for
some people because they think
of reverend as a title like Doc
tor or Rabbi or Father 1t is
like none of these. Rather, it is
an adjective descriptive of char
acter, not of an office. You may
describe minister's responsible
ity in terms of a pastor, or a
