They Kept Coming

Evidently this Woman's neigh
bors did not laugh her off. Even
her trifle Of faith was contagious.
A man or the street may be seen
looking up toward : what He
may not know, himself. He may
think maybe he heard new kind
of plane overhead. But even if he
is looking at nothing at all,
others who see him will look up
too. So we read that the men of
Samaria went out to talk with
Jesus and to see him for them
selves. The Greek word for "they
we're coming" or they came" to
him is interesting. 1t is not the
word that would be used for one
single act. 1t is the form of the
verb meaning thing is done
over and over. 1t suggests that
they did not all go out at once,
they came out one by one, by
little groups. Some of them were
slower to wake up than others.
Faith is like that. People have
different reaction times about
faith. too. Jesus did not hold this
against the late corners; neither
should we.

will be thirteen again. But in 1864 and

January 20, 1861

JANUARY 20, 1861 may become "a
y date to remember in United States
history, even in world history. A new
executive department takes the reins of
government The oldest president,
Dwight D. Eisenhower, 70, Republican
surrenders the reins to the Youngest
president, John F. Kennedy, 43, Demo-
crat Though the executive branch OF
the tri-department government only
is to change the political and ex-
ecutive power of the president OF the
United States, matched nowhere else
in the world has profound influence.
President-elect Kennedy faces grave
problems and unrest is his own country.
Problems exist in industry, agriculture,
public services, social security, and race
relations, among others. The Federal
Government has become the biggest
business in America. Decisions on the
national level affect more than ever be-
fore the lives of every individual in this
vast sprawling country We have stake
in every decision and every move that
the new president VIII make. II his pro-
blems were confined simply to domestic
issues, the responsibility would be
tremendous.
International issues are of even great
er Importance, if that could be. World
communism is on the move. We have
contended that Russia would not chance
to destroy the United States if there
was any other way. Premier Khrushchev
made known his plan Tuesday in a
speech. Atomic war is not desired by
Russia, because the United States has
more potential for the physical de-
struction in Russia than do the Com
munists. Instead, Mr.. Khrushchev out
lined detectives for controlling the
world through infiltration and establish

The Moon Do Move

THE year 1861 will have thirteen full
moon days and nights. Some people
think we experience one full moon each
month = and that there are always
twelve a year and one each month, but
that is incorrect.
In the current year we have two full
moons in two months and none in one.
This month, January, we have had full
moon on the LIST and we will have an
other one on the 31th.
In February there will be no full
moon days. In March there will be one
- on the End, and in April there will
be two - on the LIST and Both There
after, throughout the remainder of the
year, there will be one full moon per
month, until in December, the full moon
will fall on the 21st = the same day
the winter begins next December.

speak, during the year, dropping back

Saturday night, six couples from
the Y-Knots of Chester, Pa, came
of Ben Baldwin and went home
with our club banner. The ire
sistable attraction of the we'll
known caller also brought four
other visiting couples to dance
with our club. The Y-Knots an
nounced a coming costume dance
and invited the club to attend, if
they wished, this Friday, October
27, at Chester, Pa.
A rousing good time was had
by Bill and Marian Pepper, Bob

Berna Morgan, Jim and Margaret
Weller, Charles and Kitty Carter,
and Thelma Burlingame and Ben
Baldwin at a dance in Towson,
Md, Friday, October 20, called by

Gotcher. Ken and Ethel Lambert
also danced to Les Gotcher at Sill
yer Spring, Md, on Thursday
night, October 10.
Herb Keys is now conducting
Round Dance classes open to the
public at $1.00 couple every
other Friday Next class will be
Friday, November 8, from 500 til
900 at the Bowling Lanes. These
dances are the ones played be-
tween tips of square dances. They
are fascinating to watch as all
couples form a circle and dance
specific steps in time to the mu-
sic, always going in the same
circle. I'm sure more club mem
bers would like to learn these
dances now that we have a will
ing teacher in the area.

placed on the north end of the
beach is completely washed away

and was not expected to be fully
cleared of the debris before today

raise their spiritual standard"
Mr.. Toynbee said.
If Americans don't undertake
the lead role in helping the in
digent majority in the world "a
dozen other lands would be vie
in gwith each other to snatch
it. Russia and China would per-
haps be the obvious first can
didates, but they are by no
means the only candidates in
this field" he said.
He suggested that the United
States try an economic revolu-
ton to reverse "the Madison
avenue trend" and thus take
the lead Sin the American-born
world revolution of our time"
If America does this, Mr..
Toynbee said, "She will con-
tinue to march in the van of
mankind along the main high
road of human destiny"
Today's worldwide battle,
the historian said, is not against
communism so much as against
the poverty and injustice that
prevails.
