FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ID, 1859
Tomorrow Valentines Day

DESPITE popular conceptions in various
y sections Of the country, there is no gen
eral agreement as to the origin Of St. Valen-
tines Dav as we observe it today. Perhaps
the most logical explanation Of how the.
name Valentine came to be connected with
day on which lovers send tokens to one
another lies in its connection with d pre-
valent belief in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Literature of this period, beginning about
Chaucers time shows that the popular
conception was that the birds began TO mate
on February 14th. Thereafter, English lit
erature frequently mentions the day as q
sacred one for lovers This was how the day
was connected with lovers. The name itself
could have come from either Of three great

One Wa ! priest in Rome, another a
bishop in Terni: and a third, Of which very
little Is known. Perhaps various people con
nected various saints With the day, but the
day was always February 18th, and the
connection With lovers probably began dur
ing the Middle Ages. when the popular be
lief about birds was connected with with
human lovers.
From this beginning, the custom of OBJ
serving st. Valentines Day has grown in
to one Of the most beautiful customs, es-
pecally for younger people, in the United
States and elsewhere. In this country,
young lovers exchange Valentines. greet
ings and presents. and there is an air Of re-
nance about the day which does the hearts
Of young ana old much good.

Black Knot Disease
Control Advised

It's time to take steps to control
black knot disease in plum and
cherry paintings, advises John M
Amos, associate plant pathologist at
VPI.
He says to prune out and burn all
diseased black. knots Cut at least
four inches below the obvious in
lection. Destroy all diseased parts
and also badly infected trees. Make
dormant spray application at least
every two years, using a $500
bordeaux mixture. Home fruit
growers can use six and tWo-thirds
ounces Of bluestone. and six and
tWo-thirds ounces Of hydrated lime
IN five gallons Of water; or foui
plnts of liquid lime sulphur Or five
cups Of dry lime sulphur powder in
five gallons Of water. Never spray
when the temperature IS below
degrees Fahrenheit.

Wdukegan (IU.) Neus-Sun

4 Waukegan teen-ager this week had diff
ficulty when asked to define American
ism.
Unfortunately. good many other Lake
County residents - small children teen
ayers and adults - would probably have
similar difficulty. And even ii they could
define the term the probability is that they
would not be practicing the principles Of
Americanism.
IT was not too many years ago that Old
Glory was proudly displayed BY homes and
businesses throughout the area On all major
holidays and many other occasions, Today
the American flag is seldom seen, and then
the national banner is often displayed in
the wrong position.
National holidays formerly meant large
parades, patriotic meetings and other pub
lie events - all we'll attended. Today, many
of the events are still conducted in the
county, but the crowds have been missing
for a long time.
Once upon time when the National An
them was played, everyone would join in
the singing. When the Pledge to the Flag
was offered, all those present would parti-
cipate. Today, a great many people confess
they simly do not know ~ or remember -
all Of the words.

Ny God, Ny Heighbor, Myself

Jesus did not answer the ques-
ton by quoting single one Of the
Ten Commandments" He quoted
two verses from parts of the Old
Testament which to us are less
familiar. First from Deuteronomy
Gas and second from Leviticus
1918. lThe reader might we'll look
these up and mark them in his
Bible, for if Jesus could be said
ever TO have boiled down the whole
Old Testament into two sentences,
these are the tWo4 One command
unites the two: LOVE. Jesus did
not, Of course. mean to say any
thing so absurd as that a simple
I command can produce love. The
sergeant can say One, two. three,
March, The music teacher can say,
One. two, three, Play, The lion
tanner can say, One, two, three
Jump. But not even God says, One,
two. three. Love! Human beings
are not made that way and no one
knows 1t better than the God who
made Us
WHAT Jesus lid mean is that
this is what God requires Of US,
nothing less. We cannot fulfill his
other commands till we have made
an honest effort at this one first
(, Jesus selection Of these two
\ commandments shows also the mis-
take of taking either Of them sep
arstely. There are those who Dc
not understand what loving God
means, and 50 try to make up for
it by loving people. But how is il
possible to love people, who are
Gods children, and at the same
time ignore their heavenly Father ?
Also there are those who are so
much impressed by the greatness
of God and the ittleness of man,
the holiness of God and the sinful
follies of man, that they give up
loving human beings and lavish all
their affection on God above These
need Saint Johns reminder: How
can a man love God, whom he has
not seen, if he does not love human
beings, whom he has seen? Then
there are the numerous people who
love only themselves. period; and
by contrast the people who believe
we should never love ourselves.
This overlooks the point love thy
ncighbor AS thyself If love Of one
self is sinful, 50 is love Of neigh
borD The true ideal is not any one
Of these with the others left out;
but all these three love (Which is
to say. concern for the good and
the welfare) Of God, our neighbors,

An interesting answer TO the question
- whether automobiles and scholarships
mix was provided in a survey made Of the
four-vear grade averages Of the typical
High School class recently. The Senior
class involved is that at Madison High
School, in Rexburg, Idaho
No straight A student had the use Of
car in Madison High Schools Senior class.
Only fifteen per cent CT the 3 students
drove car to school.
OF students, forty -one per cent broaBht
cars to school. OF d students seventy one
per cent drove ears to school.
While the averages might be different,
and while the situations at various schools
would widely vary, this is an amazing cor
relation of automobile driving as opposed
to scholarship. Youngsters these days can
not be expected to give up driving automo-
biles, but as far as taking automobiles 10
