Church Issues
Faith Statement

NEW YORK, Mar. Is (AP)
"A statement of faith. afarm-
ing ancient Christian doctrines
in modern phraseology, was
proposed today for the newly
formed United Church Of
Christ. ga . 80.
The denomination Is made
up of a merger Of congrega-
tional Christian and Evangel-
ical and Reformed Churches
The statement Of faith. con-
sidered a basic document for
any religious b. jy, will be pre-
sented for action to the general
synod of the united church at
Oberlin, Ohio, in July.
Two Years Work
The statement was Drawn up
during two years work by a
special joint theological COM
mission, and its contents have
been a matter f Widespread
speculation and interest
throughout American Protes-
tantiSm.
1t upholds most of the tradi-
tional doctrines Of Christianity,
but does SO in up-to-date term
inology rather than the Gus
tomary language.
1t sets forth such concepts as
Christ's divinity, His crucifixon|
and.reSurrection, His atonementI
for mans sin and faith in eter-
nal life.
1t makes no mention Of, the
virgin birth. 1t supports the
doctrine of the holy trinity but
doesn't use those words.
Diyerging Views
The form of the statement
has attracted wide interest be-
cause of the diverse background
of the two merging churches.
The Congregational Christian
Churches are traditionally nom
creedal. allowing considerable
leeway in the beliefs of individ-
ual members. 1
But some individual congre-
cations have adopted creedal
statements.
The Evangelical and Re-
formed Church has traditional
ly held to the ancient creedall
forms including the Apostles
Greed and the ,Nicena Creed.
The proposed new statement OIL
faith is to be offered as "a tes-
timony and not a test" officials
emphasized.

Saylor himself is the author
of another c & o bill that
Internationally would establish

The Foley-Lankford bills, he
said, are "a great deal more
far-reaching than they seem:

Spring planting of the Montana
sugar beet crop in the Hardin and
Sidney areas is SO per cent COM
plete at Hardin and 48 per cent
complete at Sidney, and is pros
crossing satisfactorily with pros
poets generally very good, accord
ing to L.. R. Cool, Rocky Noun
tain District Agriculturist for
Holly Sugar Corporation.
The recent Ito inches of mois-
ture at Hardin is enough for GER
mlnation of the crop without ir-
rlgation, the sugar official stated.
However, at Sidney where the
precipitation has been only .O8 in

require irrigation.
The acreage allotments for the
Hardin area this year are 9,132.3
acres including 1929 acres in the
Sheridan, Wyoming area, which
supplies the beet sugar factory at
Hardin. The Sidney area has been
allotted 20,343 acres including f.
334 acres in neighboring fields in
North Dakota.
In all areas, L. r. Cool reports
seed beds exceptionally good, prin-

Coal Industry Chiefs
Ask u. S. Fuel Policy

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Con-
gress had under consideration this
week a request for a new large
scale study of a major element in
the nations economy = the fuels of
today and tomorrow and the in
dustries dependent upon each.
Source of the request was the
hard-hit coal industry, which pre-
sented a case for a "coordinated
policy on all fuel problems" that
would insure the survival of each
to meet vastly expanded national
needs for all types of fuel products

Postmaster
Postmaster

It is required that all Post Of
fees having rural delivery SER
vice, during the month Of May
make a thorough inspection Of
these routes.
There are two different types
of rural routes: rural routes ano
star routes. This inspection is
made for rural routes only. A
star route is a bid and contract
system whereby the Post Office
Department accepts bids and
awards contracts to the lowest
bidder over a certain designated
route. A rural route carrier is a
civil service employee working
at a fixed annual salary.
When a postmaster makes this
annual inspection it is his duty
to make a count of the number of
patrons and the number of ia
miles served. Also he checks the
condition of the boxes to de-
termine if they can be served
properly from the carriers car;
if they have the name of the
patron printed plainly on them;
if the approaches to the box are
made to specifications.
AS usual there will be a few
boxes that do not conform to
proper regulations asked for and
the patron will be notified.
Many will respond Immediately
to the necessary correction and
a few will not. A postmaster may,
if he feels justified, to withhold
the delivery of mail until or
rections are made but, up to the
present time, this has not been
found necessary to do. We hope
we can circumvent such a dras-
tic move. We want to get along.
A rural route box or a star
route box too is the front door"
to your rural home. What a con-
trast it is to see a beautiful
home and decadent mail box for
all to e.
The rural route out of Sidney
has $50 boxes and 285 families.

shut up and keep SWIM
ming"
This Is typical of the sort
of Jokes in vogue among
Americas teen-agers today.
One of our recent Nation
wide surveys showed clearly
that the ordinary funny"
joke has given way to the
new-style sick" joke. Nearly
80 per cent of those queried
said they or their friends tell
such jokes.
Asked to explain the differ
ence between the jokes they
used to tell and the ones
now in fashion, many gave
answers similar to one given
by Lois Larose, II, Of West
wego, La. Lois, who disap-
proves Of this humor, said:
They are called dry and
cruel jokes because they make
fun Of something that isn't
funny" -
In the joke-telling part of
the survey, We found there
are three main types or
groups of jokes. Here is a
sample in each group, as
told to interviewers:
Morbid or sick:
"MOmmy, why can't 60
out and play like the other
kids?"
Shut up and drink your
beer"
Riddle, or obvious answer:
Question: What weighs
1000 pounds, has four legs,
is yellow and flies?
Answer: Two 50O-pound
canarieS.
Miscellaneous:
Il don't care who you are,
fat man. get those reindeer

One clue to the popularity
Of the modern joke came
from Terry Braemer, Is, of
Fort Lauderdale, Fla, who
said: "One thing good about
them-it's easy to make up
your own
On the other hand, Philip
Black. Is. of Dallas put it
this way:
II guess you'd call them
funny-but in q very odd
way!"
It appears that while
teen-agers tell these jokes,
no one expects to get a belly
laugh out of them.
As Dick Douglas, IA Of
Salt Lake City explained,
Instead of laughing, most
people say, Oh, how awful
after hearing one of them"
While the jokes were de-
scribed as cruel, sad, sadiStic,
horrible, CORY, sacrilegious
and sick, 80 per cent used the
word morbid" as their best
description.
Ellen Corbett, IA. of San
Francisco said: "They are
called morbid jokes and you
sure have, to have an odd
sense of humor to appreciate
them"
Another reflection of this
trend in humor was obtained
by polling the teen-agers
about their choice of greeting
cards.
