"Ninety-six," his wife said TO be exact"

Il was that, all right. II was years since he had
preached in anything but metropolitan churches The
Liuefeld parish had been the beginning but ne had
come long way from the beginning. Now. on Christ
mas morning he was going back. Back for an hour or
two to stand in the little pulpit where he had preached
his first hesitant fumbling sermon twenty years ago.
He let his head fall back against the scat and closed
his eyes. The decision to 60 back had not been his.
really it had been Mays. She handled all his appoint
mens screening the innumerabe invitations to preach
or speak, month ago she had come to him. There was
request she said for him to 60 back to Lteeld and
preach a sermon on Christmas morning.
"Littlefeld?" he had said increduous. what about
that Washington invitaton?" He had been asked TO
preach to congregation that would he knew. include
Senators and Cabinet members.

Making such decision wasn't so hard at the moment,
he thought weary. Not resentng afterward that was
the difficult part Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. The
church would be horribly overcrowded, the congrega-
ton would be mostly farmers, but.

your first Christmas sermon; We hadn't been married

Her voice raiIed off but he knew what she meant.
He knew what she was trying to tell him, although she
was too loyal and too kind to say in words. That ne
had gotten away from the sources Of his strength That
as success had him. his reputation had grown
larger some things in him had grown smaller. The self
lessness The humility The most important things OF
all.
He stood there silent, seeing himself with terrifying
clarity the PRIDE the ambition. the hunger for larger
and larger audiences. Not for the glory of God For
the glory Of Arnold Bannister.
He cenched his fists. feeling panic grip him, sense OF
terror and guilt unlike anything he had ever known.
Then family, underneath the panic, something else
stirred He glanced around the little church. She was
right Mary was right and perhaps it wasn't too late
Perhaps here, now. he could rededcate himself.

Irish potato and tomato grow

named today of the possibility OF
an outbreak of late blight.
in fact, Late Blight is very
active and doing considerable
damage in Columbus County"
said c. D. Raper, County Agent,
Temperatures at the present
time are favorable for late blight
activity and indications are that
they may remain so for several
days.
If rains occur during this per-
iod, outbreaks of late blight are
likely to occur in fields unpro-
tected by fungicidal dusts Ut
sprays. The situation could be-
come especially critical in areas
where late blight infected to-
mato plants were imported earl
Ter in the season.
Growers are urged to immedi-
ately take precautions agairSr
late blight during this critical
period. Thorough busting or
spraying with the proper furg-
icides should give the necessary
protection against serious out
breaks of the disease.

Arlington Tax Cut

Joy in Arlington over the first tax
rate reduction in six years is tempered
by the fact that most tax bills, neverthe-.
less, will be little higher than last years.
This is because real estate has been reas-
sessed this year to provide IL per cent
higher rate base. This will Offset the
average per cent drop in the real prop
erty tax rate, leaving most taxpayers with
a per cent rise in their tax bills.
Board members described the revenue
and spending situation as holding the
line," despite a 50 million increase in
the Arlington budget. Some increase in
spending was inevitable, of course, be-
cause Of the growing demands for i'm
provementS and services in such an
urbanized community. But the county
board performed the difiicult task of
cutting nearly 100000 from the $26 mil
lion budget. The board will be criticized
in some quarters for these cuts, which
made possible the tax-rate reduction.
But the majority Of taxpayers undoubt-
edly welcomed the action Of the board,
which Is not unmindful Of recurrent evil
dences Of developing taxpayers revolt"

kYepressibIe Idea

East Germany's youth stubbornly
continues to be FESTIVE. Fresh evidence
OF this can be found in the puppet Com
munist regimes decision to draft prospec-
tive university students for labor service
In state-run agricultural and industrial
enterprises. The objective Of the move Is
to teach young theological mavericks to
toe the party line before they get to COL
lege, or to deny them access to higher
education II they persist in being intel
lectual non-conformists likely to become
anti-Red agitators in the academic world.
Ever since the Polish and Hungarian
uprisings, there have been recurrent re-
ports from East Germany of how large
segments Of its youth, especially in edu-
cational circles, have publicly shown
hostility to the Stalinist regime and
reacted with both boredom and open
contempt to the endless bombardment
Of dull party-line propaganda and obso-
lete Marxist-Leninist dogma. This has
LED to number of disciplinary measures.
including police crackdowns, but the un-
rest and dissent still seem deep and wide
spread. Why? Well, according to DR..
Wilhelm Cirrus, the Communist leader In
charge Of the universities, student ele-
ments appear to be infected with q
