The effort is there, whether done purpose!? or by inst inct. Possession of this quality during man’s lifetime will cause others to seek his council, and multitudes together at his bier at the time of his death. Money and power do not In sure possession of this prized goal. It can not be bought, but must be earned. Many years may be required to attain it. yet It can be lost in a day. Tins quality is called respect With out respect the world would be chaos The family, the com munity. and the nation are bound together by the respect one individual has for another, As man’s survival depends on man’s respect for man so does it depend on man respect for the things that surround him. from the tines*. insect to the largest tree. We see respect, and the lack of it, si! around us. One short trip down highway, and woods road, or along any stream will furnish .ample evidence that some of us lack respect for our fcllowman and for God’s han diwork. At one time this country was sn sparsely settled by man that the .soil, the forests, and the wtld creatures that dwelt therein were almost wholly ruled by the forces of nature. Nature was cruel here, and smiled there, with the result that an over —all balance was maintained. Then came the white man. The landing at Plymouth Rock, a glorious page n the his tory of America, signalled the beginning of the end for many things wild, including both man and beast, The forest, the soil, and all wild creatures were attacked with vigor, Much of this was from necessity, since food, clothing, and shelter was vital. Some of It however, was greedy exploration. Here man’s tures apart, to prevent them from making a. heavenly start, 10. No man should allow such ft cosily seizure, with God standing so near, offering ever lasting pleasure; here at this point no men should trans gress, but humbly and sincere - ly before God confess. 11. Then measuring the dis tance with the Prodmal Son... yardstick, between Heaven and Hell to defeat, Satan’s trick make a decisive leap aw.?i from every earthly distress in to the one and only MIGHTY FORTRESS, 12.

"Why L*ve wore out two farms a’reddy”. The slogan of the timber man was “Cut out. and get out". The stream banks and prairies were Uttered with the skeletons of beaver and buffalo. Times and conditions have changed, but man has yet to show full respect for things Hint surround him What degree of respect does a man have who will set fire to a dec tree and let » helpless animal writhe and squirm and stoke until its lire is cone? What is in s man’s mind when he fires the tree-covered hillsides and destroys in a few mimifct-s what time has been struggling for centuries io es tablish? Why arc some farmlands so badly eroded that, they will never again be rich and produc tive? Why are some of our streams so silted and polluted that life can hardly exist therein? Why is it that the flailing wing of the passenger pigeon will never again cart a shadow upon the earth, and fear is pre sent in some quarters that the tell of the bobwhitc may some day be lost forever? The answer is that some where along the line we have lost our sense of true values, or at. least have let them become badly distorted. Can man live on steel and concrete alone. If not, we must learn to fully respect the fields, the streams and the forests. —THE CLARON, Jefferson Cty. Mo. IN THIS OUR DAY BY C. A, CHICK, SR* CHRISTMAS PRESENT Many parents are now lite rally racking their brains en deavoring to decide what to tell Old Santa to bring the various members of the family, arid most especially the children. Old St. Nick will, no doubt, bring the kids lots of toys— JUST FOR FUN THE RAMBLER BEAI You should've been at Ja-be Wight’s Barbet shoe last Thursday when Speedball Ed die told the story of the Nash Rambler Beep. It seems that a man was crui sing down the hisrhwav in hit CADDY when he saw a Nash Rambler approaching through •be media of the rear vision mirror. Just thee the Rambler blew “Beep—been!" Bpeeriball said the CAD driv er knew he had to save the big car's reputation, and then he pressed down on the accelera tor making the speedometer move up to 70 miles an hour. “What happened then?” said Onmvard “Well.” said .Speedball,'' "the Rambler pulled up behind the big CAD and blew—BEEP BEEpi because it was doing seventy with the brakes n'" The CAD driver moved on up to 120 miles an hour but to hi. surprise the Rambler pulled up on his left-hand side. The own - er yelled to the CAD driver “Say. buddy, can you tell me how 1 can gat out of second gear?” Comyard guffawed loud and long. He has learned that h phonograph record has been made or this song, and that it. can't be played by recording over the TV “Tile story's real gone,” re marks Comyard. Just think, my friends. Mr. Cornyard has made an appointment with the Rambler salesman, because he's just tickled to death by that “Rambler Beep.” T.AIUEI, Fonnosoa An AP story says that the Chief Li brarian Han Shih-la Is agatngt lifting the barrier between males and female* ni the Tai wan Public Library on south ern Formosa.

Here and there he may be *>ked to bring r good book. Certmnly the kids as well as grown-ups are enti tled to have Old Santa pay them a visit on Christmas night. Thus, all of the foregoing is perfectly in order. Just to ob serve the kids get up on. Christ ina.-, morning, hurry to the family Christmas tree, and open their various articles Old San ta has left, is worth all it cost,-. to have Santa bring ihem. U is not the purpose of this ar ticle to speak disparagingly of such family activities as the foregoing. But the fact, remains the mime that many of the toys he will leave the kids will soon be “gone with the wind.” They will either be broken up or the kids will have lost in terets in them This writer is taking the lib erty to suggest to his many readers that, along with the us ual toys, clothings and fruits that, we ask Santa to bring our children, let's ask him to bring their, a share in the great Unit ed States’ economy, In other words, why not request Hants Clause to taring the kid: a share of common stock in some of the “blue chip corporations of the United States? You would be surprised to know how much more a share of good common stock would be worth ten .years from now khan it would cost, today. Moreover, the kids would be receiving an annual income from the same And, even more important that the foregoing, you would be helping them to become Investment-minded. If cannot be over-emphasized that- by and largo we (Negroes) arc on the consuming end of the American economy. and that we must, if we ever expect to become first class citizens, also get on the investment end of our economy.

The recent outbreak in Eng land of whites and Negroes war b. source of profound gratifica tion for that part, of the South that is committed to the eter nalinfitlon of second-rate citi zenship for Negroes.- And we must ever bear in mind that the desire thus to hold the Negroes down, is by no means unanimous for theh is in the South an ever louder and more insistent voice of nobly disposed whites for the full liberation of Negroes. Then too. It must be remem bered that much of the vio lence and hatred manifested elsewhere than the South, was incubated in the South, Some researcher, would render the cause of better inter-racial un derstatiding a, great service by making a study of the relation between the ant!-Negro out break m London and the virus of race prejudice disseminated by prejudiced American soldiers who have been and are now stationed in England. It is commonly known that wherever the prejudiced South erner goes be takes his preju dice and sometimes displays it as a badge of distinction, Os course this is true of many pre judiced Southerners; but there arc other Southerners, abroad lust what they are at home, the embodiment of democracy and Christian understanding. There is nothing finer to an a Southerner and there is noth ing worse than a bad one! Say what we will, the pat tern of race prejudice and its manifestations of the preju diced South has become the pattern for race prejudice throughout the world. Race prejudice has had as ugly m&n- I for, tar ion in the South, as earn be found in the history of fcht* social and moral evil. On* of the evil manifestations of race prejudice is to be found ta li* persistence, And very often this persis tence is sometimes almost tn discerrdfoiy subtle.
