We as individuals can help to keep down fire hazards by practicing safety meas ures; when it comes to lighted matches, ciKaretts, over loaded circuits, inflammable liquids, oily rags and old newspapers. The Volunteer Fire Dept. of Murphy responds to fires day or night in an effort to keep down the loses of life and property ? Having evidenced tragedy in the past, they would appreciate your earnest efforts tp help them control this constant jnenace. Save a life, sive a home, save a business, save a car, save a forest by keeping down fire hazards. SsUesmmuship Improves Public RelmtUms It has always been said that when opportunity knocks one should pay heed. This would certainly hold true on the Sales Training School that begins in Murphy on October 16. There -will be six sessions in all and much information is in the offer ing for all interested parties. Production as well as consumption is at an all time high. The consumer is working harder so that he or she may be able to own the many new modern conveniences that are now on the market. ? It makes our work more interesting and certainly more prof itable, if we are well informed on what we have to offer the consumer Selling tools are essential in completing this task.

In our approach to practically everything: our job; our family life, our outside Interests, if in deed we hav? any at all; and a hove all in our religious life, in our approach to God, we have, become limited and narrow. Perhaps this is a natural consequence of our living in the twentieth century, a time of increasing specialization in virtually' every area of life. Within a relatively short time all of the professions have become special ized. a fact which becomes quite clear to us when we look at the medical profession. Many once, large areas in the intellectual life of our world have become ex tremely specialized. A man is no longer simply a chemist he is a research chemist in a particular industry, and works only on the Improvement of one specific pro duct. Or a man no longer devotes his life to the study of literature; he devotes it to the study of only one writer; and hence, becomes, not an expert in English, litera ture, but an expert on Milton, Chaucer, or perhaps Spencer. In the trades, the same thing has happened. More often than not a man who once might have excell ed in metal working, producing exquisite pieces of jewelry or fine quality household utensllg by hand, is now relegated to perform ing but one simple operation over and over again on an assembly line. The result of this over-special ization so characteristic of our cul ture has been the narrowing of our horizons, the decreasing of our vision, the limiting of our ability to understand life and the world about us as a total, unified whole While the process of specialization has perhaps been a necessity in order that we might respond to the economic challenges of our day and utilize to the fullest the prog ress made in so many of the pro fessional, scientific, and lntellec trial fields, it has been a mixed blessing Indeed, for we have ail too often become so involved In this process of knowing more and more about less and less {hat we have become very limited crea tures indeed. That we have become limited ir our abilities and narrow in our in terests is all too evident in the reasons set before divorce courts by perhaps two out of three coup les seeking: to sever the bonds of Holy Matrimony. "We simply are not compatible". "We have no in terests in common". In short, we simply admit to having no capac ity for broadening ourselves to the extent of developing interests which we might share with the *?rson we profess to love. We ad mit to being narrow and either unable or unwilling to do anything about It. In all too many instances we have allowed our Increasing narrowness to utterly stagnate oat intellectual lives, so that we be come mere cogs in the machine o industry, doing our Job; but In conversation showing ourselves to be both bored and boring, for we have limited -our interests to the sports page or to the co/nica if indeed we read our papers at all. Our intellectual stagnation shows itself clearly as we go out of church after hearihg the simples | of sermons and say, "I just didn't get anytihng out, of the service".! Naturally, for in all likelihood we stopped listening after the first sentence as we simply did not wish to exercise the mind which God gave us to use. Our reading If indeed we go beyond the sports page and the comic section (and these sections are fine for the per son seeking relaxation or Interest ed in sports) too seldom consists of anything but sensational pocket books or the cheap sensational lam which American Journalism has found essential to sell paperi and mags sines.

They are as follows: President, Ida Arrant; vice-president. Mar cia Kay Olson; secretary, Linda Schuyler; Treasury, Beverly Sand ders; Reporter, Elizabeth Gibbe. The Girls plan to meet in front sonal relationship to Him since our I childhood. Perhaps this has hap-' pened because we became Inter ested in other things and pushed God aside aa what we might call "kid stuff".. Or perhaps it' has happened because God seemed re. mote and hard to understand; so, we went to Church and did what was expected of us until we be came old enough to be on our own and simply cast God aside be cause He didn't seem really Im portant, not really relevant in a fast moving, active life. Or per haps we kept on aa faithful people, devoted children of God, yet not able really to know Him and to have Km for our constant com panion and unable to realise the fullness of the Joy of the Christian life because we remained saddled with an Immature, childish con. ception of God. Tragic numbers of people have, usually through their own failure to read their Bibles and other good spiritual reading by those who hove come closest to knowing God as He really is; or through the as He really is; or through their laziness in prayer and in attend ance at Church, or through the failures of parents, teachers, and all-too often because of the fail ures of clergymen, have failed to develop a mature knowledge of God and of His ways with us. When \ve have thus failed, we us ually have kept our Inadequate childhood conception of God. Because we have failed to real ly learn in an adult way whit God la like and what he expects of us; because in our prayer life we have never gotten beyond the "now I lay me down" stage, we find that our religion la inadequate to support us and carry us through times of crisis, and we find at all times that it is difficult indeed to have a satisfying, endur. ing, and joyful relationship with God, for we hardly even know Him. Our inadaquate and limited con ceptons of God very o'ften are frightening ones because of wrong ideas that have been planted in us by people who wanted to scare us into being good. .We often have the notion that God is "out to get us"! hence we often become neu rotic about religion thinking of it as little more than a code of be haviour, and the Church as little more than a society of puritanical "do-gooders", forgetting that God has revealed Himself in Chris Jesus as a God of infinite love and mercy, who is constantly seeking us in orden that He may bring us into a healthy, meaningful, and joyful relationship with Him now and for all eternity. . Or else, if we have not taken the trouble to read, pray, and medita te, or think upon the things of God we have allowed Him to have no lftore meaning in our lives than a jovial good fellow ?rho smiles in diligently on all that we do, no matter how evil our deeds mi^fct be; or perhaps we think of Him as little more than an indescribable blob, as one small Church school child once pictured Him whei asked to draw a picture of God with little A no meaning for life Then, sometimes we pictured Him as a very old man with a long beard, a Person really too old and too far removed from modern life to be at all concerned with whit is happening in His world in the twentieth-century. Or possibly we think of Him as a resident police man, holding up His hand laying, "Stop! No! No!" as though every thing we might enjoy doing were wrong. ' Such limited narrow concepts of God are not only inadequate; they are wrong, utterly wrong. They do not in any way picture God as He has revealed Himself to us. Where de we go and what do we'do If we have failed to know God as He really is; if we have never grown up spiritually? We go to the Holy Gospels, any and all of them, tor it is there that we see God dwlling as Man among men In order that you and I may truly come to know Him as He really is.
