lowering the clearance of bridges
from the present 80 feet above
high water. which has been in eff
feet for the past 20 years, to So
feet clearance, for more economi-
cal construction of bridges with
fixed span.
Their desire was to learn if this
lowering of clearance would re-
suit adversely in less marine traf-
fic thereby resulting in loss of bus
mess to the county.

The Axe Is The Path
''The axe is the path into the forest"

The axe is the path into the forest"
When the first intrepid voyagers braved the un-
known seas to seek refuge our Shores they found
here virgin wilderness. There paths but those
created by the wild beasts and still wilder savages With
their axes they hewed out homes built their villages and
erected their sockades. With their axes they hewed
pathway into the forest feed trees for bridges across
turbulent waters penetrating deeper and deeper into the
woods until they crossed the mountains and reached the
plains With their they split the timber for the
wagons that freighted them to other forests These
they conquered in like until last thew came TO
where the waters of the blue Pacific Tapped the western
shore
The axe is the path into the forest"
Inc free man must forge ahead into the I'M
known The is the symbol of his own strength of his
ability to utilize his talents to carve out his own
path into new world The path he hews others will
follow to go on where he leaves off His is the respon-
sbt to make his part of the path true and smooth
that those who follow after may speed to their own
task. ~
The axe is the path into the forest"
We are in the forest of world tension Onlv as we
weld our own axe Justify and wisely will we find the
pain out Only work as those earlier pioneers
from dawn until sunset, will we carve our pathway to
the mountain peaks from which can see the plains of
peace beyond. Only we lop off the non-essential
branches cut down the poison growth of hates suspc
IONS and prejudice level the trees that hide our vision
can we be worthy followers of those who made this
country of ours. AS they who preceded u.s. welding
their axes built nation of the free so can we WELDING

Churches Visited
By Mobile Unit

The Seventh Day Adventist
Churches of Mississippi are being
visited by Mobile units of Davidian
Seventh-day Adventists from head
quarters at Waco, Tex, touring the
state and dispensing hundreds of
pieces of free Bible literature.
These unique literature bands on
wheels have already made their
appearance at over 40 different
camp meetings held throughout the
United States and Canada in the
past two years. Their Hear Ye
the Rod" proclamation has at
tracted worldwide attention in the
Adventist church by declaring that
the next major prophetic event is
the finishing of the sealing of
$4,000 Seventh-day Adventists as
the first fruits Of the harvest fol-
lowed by an anti-typical Passover
in the Adventist church as fore
told in the ninth chapter of Eek
lei.
5 1t is reported that visitors to
the churches are attracted by the
large signs on the mobile Bible
literature bands parked near the
entrance to the churches, and many
are inquiring about this "soon COM
ing Judgment starting at the Ad-
ventist church."

brought up the subject of "Hog

good chance to do all the past

were gonna try to fool themselves

one fellow in the conversation put
it though, and as I have always
had it figured, "Hog Jowls" and
"Black-Eyed Peas" with or with
out the silver dollar, amt a bad
dish to set down to occasionally,
any day in the week, New Years
Day. or no New Years Day :. F. .
but what beats it all, mongst Aunt

is that "luck" idea that 1--WE"

our destiny on some kind of fet-

making New Years Resolutions,
as one fellow said one of the best
resolutions that Aunt Haggar's
Ch;lluns can make in this year,
1859, is that "Hog Jowls" and
"Black-Eyed Peas" or no "Hog
Jowls" and "Black-Eyed Peas"
from here on out, even to the end
of time, we're gonna base our des-
tiny, our end and aims on "work. J."

Strong To Endure

There is a prayer By Robert Louis Stevenson which
have always found Of great help. II is in the Evening
Prayer which he used in his household in Samoa and in
which he asks
IF any awake. temper 10 them the dark hours of
watching; and when the day returns TO u.s. call
up with morning faces and with morning hearts
Eager to labour-eager 10 be happy, if happi-
ness shall be pOrtion-and if the day be
marked for sorrow, strong TO endure it."
Not the abasement of plea TO be spared trials or
tribulations. Not a serve bowling of the head under
the blow. Not puerility of whining unjust fate
But strong-able to stand up and to face life-or
death-firm in conviction, steadfast in belief
To endure. Not flash heroism of the moment, but
ability to carry and through The quiet courage that
has its base in faith-n the consciousness of God in
understanding that He is good in acceptance of
the fact that tested beyond strength
Strong to endure-the greatest heroes of the world
able to bear both failure and victory Washing
ton and Lincoln both had this quality and their fame will
outlast the Napoeons and Htlers of any age do not
include the Soviet yrants because msbegotten as they
both Napoleon and Hitler builders of empire
whereas the Russian rulers only undermined and honey
combed for destruction
Strong to endure-abe face the truth even though
1t might be unpaatable to faer even though the
road be hard ready to go ahead through seemingly
unsurmountabe OBSTACLES constant in the way of right
eOusness.
The coming year will bring many problems to be

Arthritis Pains
Plague Millions
OF Americana In
All Age Groups

Arthrftis and the rheumatic dis.
eases. one Of the new health areas
of the National Foundation, orig
inally the National Foundation for
Infsntile Paralysis, are the lead
ing cause Of disability In the Unit
ed States today.
These diseases are estimated TO
affliet upward Of IL millions, In
GLIDING $4,000 children. Aside from
the erippling and pain involved,
the costs of arthritis are huge.
The U. 8. Public Health Service
computes these costs at about ST.
SOC, 000, 900 a year, a figure which
accounts for some 81 zoe, 900 900
in lost wages, 1925, 900, 900 spent
by taxpayers to maintain arthritics
unable TO support themselves, and
probably $196, 100000 lost in in
come taxes.
The cause Of these diseases IL
virtually unknown, and there Is
no cure. Thus, the way to q pre-
ventive or cure lies through re-
search. The National Foundation
will enter this field following the
1859 March of Dimes in January.
Contributions totaling $65 1000, 900
are needed for the overall new
program. 4
Between 1000, 900 and 5000, 900
Americans are believed to have
rheumatoid arthritis, and about a
million of these require medical
treatment annually. Three times
as many women as men are at
flicted. 1t strikes all ages, and
many victims are in the most pro-
ductive years of IS to so.
In the absence Of preventive or
cure at this time, physicians prefer
a treatment consisting of rest, ex-
ercise and medication. Best sxer-
cises are simple ones that the suf-
ferer can do without help. Among
the drugs, aspirin is the least
4 ~
cannot be said too often that there
are no wonder drugs.
Besides lack of precise knowl-
edge as to its cause, medical sci
ence today is also without simple,
accurate test for diagnosing rheu-
matoid arthritis. Work already
has progressed to the point where
science may soon hope for simple
and reliable diagnostic test.
The National Foundation will in
augurate a patient aid program
for Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
sufferers through the age of Is.
Arthritis is a major phase of
the expanded program of the Ma
tional Foundation. Other areas Of
March of Dimes activity are polio,
birth defects and the virus dis
eases.
