The annual author-composer
luncheon of the Martha Kinney
Cooper Ohioana Library AS
sociation, October % at the
Neil House, Columbus, brings
national attention to the Ohio
cultural scene.
AT this meeting the state hon
ors its own writer's with top
awards to the best in fiction,
non-ficion and books for iuven-
lies and chooses outstanding per
sonalities in related fields for
special awards and citations.
The Library's highest honor,

named as the Ohioan outstanding
in national achievement in 1865
will be luncheon speakers decis-
ion of the panel of judges, expert
in their fields, will be announc-
ed for all categories within the
next few weeks.
County Groups within the
Ohioana Library Association
have an important role in the
annual meeting and awards.
During the year these local COM
mittees, through book collec-
tions, magazine and news clip
pings keep the Library inform
ed on literary achievements
within their own areas. The
Ohioana chairman for Noble
county is Mrs. Mary Okey, of
Caldwell.
Annual awards are made on
the basis of long-term study.
New books and achievement re-
cords are collected and culled
throughout the year by the
board of trustees and special
committees. Their wide range of
choice then goes before the panel
of judges for final selection.
The days program is open to
Ohioana Library membership,

Auto And Drivers
Licenses Made Easy

Motorists in Noble county
were reminded today that their
auto drivers licenses will be
easier to get after Tuesday, Sept
13.
The reminder came from the
Ohio State Automobile Associa-
ton which, with its So affiliated
AAA clubs in the state, sponsor
ed the new legislation going into
effect that day.
After Tuesday, applicants for
licenses no longer will need to
appear in person before a notary.
Applications can be made by
mail or delivered by another
individual.
The new arrangement, the
state association points out, will
be particularly helpful for ap-
plicants who are i'll, away from
home, or unable to get off work
when the time for license re
newal arrives. An applicant will
still be subject to penalty for
any false statement.
According to J. Russell Lloyd,
executive secretary of OSAA,
this is the second of the measures
actively supported by the as
sociation in the last legislature
to become effective. The first, in
effect since August /, gives the
highway director for the first
time authority to buy land for
roadside parks.
Other OSAA-supported legis-
lative proposals which won ap-
proval of the General Assembly
have later effective dates.

with JAMES c. INGEBRETsEN
President, Spiritual Mobilization

All God wills for us is good.
All our troubles come from our
own obtuseness. How often do we
take time to reflect upon these
correlative facts?
Insofar as we trust and obey
God, we increase our happiness.
Insofar as we distrust and dis
obey God, we invite trouble.
Now, of course, the servants Of
God may be called upon to en-
dure hardship and even suffer-
ing. But those who truly trust
God and obey Him have an inner
serenity and JOY that triumphs
over even pain and death.
Jesus repeatedly stated that
He had come in order that our
10Y might be full" And it seems
to me to be fact that those who
are most truly Christian are most
genuinely joyful.
If we fully trust God, we don't
worry: and, if we are honestly
trying to obey Him, all things
work together for our good
Where can we find a better for
mula for happiness than that?
But why are we so loath to ac-
cept it and put it into practice?
When God is SO beneficent, why
are we so obtuse?

LAW OF AVERAGES

Mother nature and the law OF
averages has a funny way of ex-
pressing herself at times. Parked
side-by-side on the village square
in Caldwell last week were three
automobiles each one bearing a
different license number. The
sequence of the plates was almost
perfect as they presented the fol
lowing Identification. W-100-H,

Joshua, but we know that it was
he who led the people of Israel
against Jericho.
Joshua was one of twelve men
sent by Moses to search the
land of Canaan" ''to spy out
the land" When the men return
ed from their expedition, the
majority instilled fear into the
minds of the people by their
reports. Only Joshua and Caleb
encouraged the people. They
said, "The land, which we passed
through to search it, is an ex-
ceeding good land If the Lord
delight in us, then He will bring
us into this land, and give it us;
a land which floweth with milk
and honey. Only rebel not ye
against the Lord, neither fear
We the people of the land; for
they are bread for US: their
defence is departed from them,
and the Lord is with US: fear
them not" plumbers 14:7-9l.
After the death of Moses,
God made Joshua the leader of
the Israelites. His responsibility
was to lead his people into the
Promised Land. That meant
taking possession of a land
already occupied. That would
mean warfare.
One of the first major cities
they had to take was Jericho.
1t was a walled city and the
men of Israel were not trained
for war. They needed Gods help.
God, in His wisdom, told Joshua
to compass the city, all ye men
of war, and go round about the
city once. Thus shalt thou do six
days. And seven priests shall
bear before the ark seven trum-
pets of rams horns: and the
seventh day ye shall compass the
city seven times, and the priests
shall blow with the trumpets.
And it shall come to pass, that
when they make long blast
with the rams horn, and when
ye hear the sound of the trum-
pet, all the people shall shout
with a great shout; and the wall
of the city shall fall flat, and
the people shall ascend up every
man straight before him"
(Joshua $3.50. Humanly speak
ing that sounds foolish, but we
soon learn that "the foolishness
of God is wiser than men; and
the weakness of God is stronger
than men" Il Corinthians 1:25).
We forget that we are limited
in knowledge and experience.
Joshua and the people did as
they were commanded. They
exercised faith, took God at His
word and got the victory. So
today we face an enemy - an
of our souls - organized
or forces directed by
Satan. Most of the time these |
forces are stronger than we are.
At times they seem like giants.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-13

The current issue Of the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine
carries a story by Thomas r.
Henry, science editor Of The Star.
on the way of life Of Ice Age
hunters who migrated over TO-
900 years ago from Siberia to
Alaska and then southwark
Through glacial mists.
Mr.. Henry's article is based
upon fragments of information
pieced together by scientists
using atomic age tools. 1t is
illustrated by color paintings by
Andre Durenceau.
The nomads who were the
first families Of America sub
sisted in part on now-extinct ami
mails of appalling size and feroc-
Iity. Mr.. Henry writes.
Some of the mammoths set
upon by the spear-wielding hunt
Iers stood Is feet at the shoul-
Iders. Their tusks were Is feet
long. The horns Of one species
were 6 feet apart. A bull bison
may have weighed $3.50 pounds.
Mr.. Henry suggests the ami
mails probably were attacked
while they were begged in
sloughs. He says the hunters
doubtless dressed themselves in
wolfskins and lay in wait for the
bisons because that animal took
wolves for granted.

dacy. He had indicated that he
might make a statement on the
subject later this month or early
in January. He also has sait
that If he ran for anything II
would be for the presidency and
mot the vice presidency.
In an address before the Asso.
clated Plumbing Contractors Of
Los Angeles last night the Sena.
tor dealt mainly with problems
Iof the farmer and the extent o.
the national defense effort.
1.-THE farmer is not sharing
the prosperity of the rest of the
Nation" he said. I'VE must re.
member that a farm depression
of several years duration pre-.
coded the great stock market
crash of 1929.
I'VE should not forget, when
examining the reasons for pres
Ient industrial prosperity. that
we are pouring nearly $35 bill
lion a year into our defense
effort. I do not say we could
afford not to spend this amount
There are those who do moi
believe it is enough. But I dc
not think that there is. anyone
who will declare that a military
expenditure of $35 billion OF
more for defense is a natural
thing.
He suggested that the Nation
be ready with public works. high
way projects and school con-
struction programs in event in
ternational tension eases suffi-
GENTLY to warrant a reduction
in armament spending.
