Red House
In many summer vacation towns
such as Oakland there is always
strange mixture of people this
time of year. Any Saturday in
town we notice the Bermuda shorts
of the men and women from the
lake as they walk about. We look
at their dark tans and their happy
faces as they enjoy their vacations.
Side by side these same people
walk with the farmers who also are
darkened by the sun. They appear
tired at times from the hard sum-
mers work. Their faces are serious
as they wonder if it will rain to-
day. Some of them wear overalls
as they must soon get back to work
again.
Some of the vacation people are
wealthy, some of them are not so
wealthy. Some of the farmers are
wealthy, some of them are not SO
wealthy. Many of the vacation
people like 20 swim, many OF the
farmers do not like to swim.
Bucks, Fords, foreign cars, and
station wagons are driven by both
the tourists and the farmers. Food,
clothes, medicine, hardware ETC.,
are bought by both tourist and
farmer. Both complain that the
prices are too high. Both tourist
and farmer complain that they
themselves do not make enough
money.
Saturday closes its eyes, the
stores their doors, and Sunday be-
gins. Into the Bucks, Fords, for
eign cars, and station wagons go
the tourists and farmers. Where
are they going? To Church, at
least some of them. And so these
same farmers and tourists whom
we have discussed will sit side by
side in the church of their choice.
They still bring their differences
with them, although today they are
dressed more alike.
As they participate in the wor-
ship services a strange thing hap
pens to some of them. They stop
their staring. They stop thinking
about now different they are from
each other. They stop thinking
about themselves and they con-
centrate on God.
God tells them through the use
of the hymns, through the Scrip
ture. through the liturgy, through
the preaching of His Word, and
through the Sacraments that the
one basic difference they both are
guilty of has been taken care OF by
His Son, Jesus Christ. They have
been forgiven, their faith tells
them this in a very personal man.
ner
AS the tourists and farmers leave
their respective churches, they
shake hands with each other and
greet each other on an equal level.
They have found out they are
not so different after all!

tions about the free world rec
ognizing the need to put its full
weight comparatively behind long
range growth" it states categori-
cally that the United States is far
ahead of the Soviet Union economi-
cally and will remain ahead. The
report projects present rates of
production, concluding that the
1870 Soviet gross national product
will fall "far short of our 1870 out
put-$400 billion for the U. S. S. r.
as against $740 billion for the
United States" In fact, this as
sumed Soviet GNP for 1870 is less
than that of the U. S. in 1857.
Furthermore, the report admits
that the data for the projected
Soviet level is suspect for many
of the announcements made by
Mr. Khrushchev regarding the
Soviet Union. are unrealistic and
seemed designed purely for inter-
nal consumption and for propaganda
purposes in the underdeveloped
countries"
And as the United States gov
ernment faces problems in its free
economy, the Soviet leaders are
confronted with serious questions
in their forced economy. The re-
port acknowledges that they have
serious labor shortages due to low
birth rates during World War II
and that their agricultural sector
is a weak element in their sys-
tenn" These are salient and i'm
pressive observations about the
Soviet economic machine, often
described as perpetual, when in
reality it skips and sputters, de-
manding constant attention and re-
pair
However, the preceding estimate,
encouraging as it is, should not
be used as an argument for re-
laxing or abandoning American
determination to meet the Soviet
challenge wherever it occurs. We
are engaged in a struggle for
which our motto should be conf
dent vigilance unswervingly main
tanned" Such a motto demands
much more than what this country
has believed in and adhered to
throughout its history.
