There was a time when fol lowing Christ meant being fill id <Hth Joy. Christians were mown for the Joy in their learts. In suffering the Chris Jan was a man of joy. In death ' lis 'heart overflowed with Chris tian gladness. | If we are true Christians we uvi.ll overflow with joy too. If are truly follow Christ, even our sorrow will be turned to joy. J (John 16,20) I If joy and Christ do not mix, a this modern world, it is not His fault. It is our own fault: we save turned Christ around. I THE MORE WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO FIND JOY WITH- 1 OUT CHRIST THE SADDER WE BECOME. I This is very true today. There lever was a time when man Marched 'for joy as we search today. Yet there never was a Lime when the world was filled writh so much sadness, so little) |oy. b knar, nme, starvation ? uiese ? re not joyful. Insecurity brings 5 o joy. There is no joy in class- fl ss warring against each other.l Yet all these are with us. Jesus warned us that we must I carry our cross. He said weli must fast. And these are good I tor us. Yet he talked often of I joy. "Be glad, and rejoice, fori great is your reward in heav-a ;n". (Matthew, 5, 12) We must be filled with joy.V [f not, then we are not follow-1 ,ng Christ well, at all. Thel true Christian rejoices andl through joy he knows he will I Find greater strength to suffer.l to fast, to die to self and live toj Christ by faith. fl Recreation can bring joy, IF WTE FOLLOW GODS LAWS, yet we can make recreation a god to be worshipped. And this ive must guard agjainst. We must see to it that joy is not the foal of life. It should draw us : loser, not pull us away from Christ There can be Christian joy without recreation. But there can be no Christian recreation! without Christian joy. Let us be light of heart, IN CHRIST IS ALL OUR JOY! . , Rev. Joseph Dean Murphy's Catholic Chapel Hayesville Mission JJtation >!

That's .startling news from the School of Forestry at State Col lege. Farmers used to think seed lings should be planted in the field exactly as deep as they grew in the nursery. That meant sopie pretty careful planting. Now that idea has been knocked put. Three-year teats have shown that better growth and survival re sult in planting seedlings deeper in the field than in the nursery State College foresters planted loblolly pine seedlings with 14, V4 and % of the stem buried in the ground. All these plots showed more growth than the check plot with all of the stem above the ground. The same results showed up when they buried 1/3, 2/8 and all of the stem except the terminal bud. Survival was not affected by deep planting. Foresters believ that careful handling of seedlings is more im portant than depth of planting. Always keep them covered with wet burlap between lifting from the nursery and planting in the field. One caution : These results occur red on upland soils. It is not known if this holds true for wet, coastal aotl.s Tommy Size Has Birthday Party Tommy Size, son of Dr. and Mrs. George Size, was feted Fri day at a party honoring his fourth birthday.

J* isn't FAIRS STRANG? AS IT SgBrM3> then foal Wither groundt commercial airplane* or makes high* way travel hazardous, complaints shower down on the railroads! Our regular customers complain because they are inconvenienced when our passenger trains are suddenly called upon to handle three or four times their normal load. Sometimes these good friends of ours can't even get aboard. And our foul-weather friends criticize us because we don't have enough equipment to provide an adequate "stand-by" service for them. This situation isn't fair to anybody, including us. Of course we'd like to take care of everyone and give fine service at all times! We could do that not so long ago, when practically all travel was by rail and we had the passenger equipment to handle any job. But today, only five per cent of intercity travel is by railroad and we simply cannot afford the luxury of ? foul-weather "stand-by" service? not when it means buying surplus pa?cnger "cars, at $200,000 facto, which would be standing idle most of the time. We want /otf to understand our problem. And ? w<e want ytu fa know you can count on our doing the best we can with all the equipment we have wrilrth to tor or foul Weather,
