If you want a real honest opin-
: ion about a personal activity, at
titude or plan of yours, don't ask
a friend, ask an enemy.
The advice most often given
and most often followed is Don't
work too hard"
One reason for staying clear of
debt is that it's so discouraging
to work for money you've already
spent.
George Hines of Ardmore, Pa.
visited here on Monday.
1t is amazing how the country
side is filing up with new houses
of all colors and designs. The
pace is to such an extent as to
be almost beyond belief. Contrac-
tors, carpenters and other work
ers are still busy and likely to
be steadily engaged for months
to come. The building progress is
without any comparison in past
records and all this activity
brings flood of prosperity, such
as never seen anywhere before.
We hope the busy term win keep
up for long, long tim.
A good omen of better days
ahead is seen in the march of
civilization which is sweeping
over the world just now. A big
help toward this end is seen in
the past that every nation is
trying to learn the English langu-
age. If they master the English
language it will bring about a
better understanding and greatly
help to eliminate wars to a vast
extent. To accomplish this feat,
a peaceful, far better understand
ing will exist among all the ma
tions of the world. We all hope
that the aim to use one language
over the world will soon make
quarrels and wars diminish, in
fact establish a lasting peace all
over this sick world. Such a
change would be blessing from
God and be generously appreci-
ated by all who love peace be-
yond words.
George Jones of Wilmington
who comes back to Townsend at
intervals thinks our town is out
of this world. Whenever here he
recalls what happy days he had
and also notes that everything
around here has been changed.
Even the faces that he knew
years ago have changed, also the
styles of houses in the district.
George had been away for thirty
years, so he could not see why
so great a change should take
place. But it has and the diff
ference puzzles him greatly. No
doubt, if George should stay away
another thirty years, he would
come back even more dumfounded
than at this time. George likes
changes, he says, but when they
become too great he finds no
grounds for feeling cheerful and
loses hope for the beautiful.
To the many who knew Mr..
Frank l.. Reynolds, their reward
was to know and appreciate a
busy man, an excellent citizen,
whose life held many fine quail
ties. A person ever ready to as
sist any man, woman or child in
a fine purpose was his privilege
and understanding. He also took
civic interest and helped will
ingly to promote any good pur-
pose that aimed to benefit his
community on a whole. In a per-
sonal way he was kindly and
very considerate. He made HIM
self useful by being kindly and
friendly to everyone and thereby
gained hosts of friends at home
and elsewhere. In early life he
choose railroad career, and soon
became the assistant Train Mas
ter on the Delaware Division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He
was both efficient and reliable in
this position and was often COM
plimented for his excellent service
in behalf of the. railroad COM
pany. Mr.. Reynolds had been
retired for several years.
