LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mr. Bichard Holey Wagon Train Murphy, North Carolina Dear Richard: 1 wish to congratulate you on the efficient* work displayed on the Tellico-Murpby "Wagon Train'" celebration July 4. The day was a huge success, and il was apparant that tlwrc ha t been fine spirit and teamwork in preparing for the event. I thorouehly enjoyed the occasion. W..h kindest regards and best wishes, 1 am Sincerely yours, David M. Hall Member of Congress To The Editor: Juvenile delinquency is fast be coming the Nation's Number One i Problem, ami why .should we wond er at this growing evil when fifty million Americans are regular 1 gamblers, and seventy milium Americans in ihe nation use Whis key. Many millions of these men '' and ?? men are parents and they are duty bound hy a civilized nation and by a great Bternal Spirit to tun", up thtir children in a sober, i decent, ami Ch?;siianized home, j But drunkards and gamblers can not and w ill not maintain such a . home. Hence. Child delin<iuency is ! the outcome from these neglected homes and the parents are the maj or cause of this nationwide dilem na. Actually, the shinning light of civilization is fast burning out < never to be seen again, unless a > great reformaiion in the altitude j of the parent soon takes place. Allow me. if you will, please, to make a few suggestions that might help to bring about this much need ed change in our national attitude tow ard our children. ? The American fathers and moth ji/ ers have it Within their power to change the whole course of history ? from their forty trillion liouies. J There is no substitute for sfoiid p;tr ?E ents. They have been particularly ? fitted by The Great Divine to draw * out, and to channel into a useful direction, the bit of greatness which" * God has implanted in every child He sends into this world. jm When parents fail their children ?? in this respect, these young lives * remain aimless and stunted. Juve- J X! nile Delinquency, more oltcn than * not, is the result of being unloved m. and unwanted. ^ Parents should make their child ?* ren feel that they are wanted and ^ needed Joan of Arc believed so * much in tne great importance of ? her cause that she laid down her ^ life for it. It grieved her, however, ? that her father belittled her for tiie role that she felt God had set for * her to play. Her regret is summed jr up in these sorrowful words: "I "?? am alone on earth. I have always ? been alone; my father told my brothers to drown me if I would not stay to mind his sheep, while I France was bleeding to death. France might perish if only our lambs were safe." Most parents must restrain and restrict their sons and daughters, but, at the same time they should be 'careful not to stifle the great ness planted in youth by the Al mighty Himself. Worse still, young people who are thwarted in their legitimate atlempts to be creative and useful often seek outlets in destructive and harmful ways. We should encourage them to ap ply Divine Truths to human affairs. W hen George Washington left his home to became President of the United States, his mother bade him farewell with these words: "Go George, go my son, and may the blessings of God and that of a Mother, be with you always." This final reassurance of Washington's mother was a fitting climax to the xcverance for God which she had instilled in him. We should prepare our girls to be home makers, for only 3 per cent of American girls in Ihe eleven to eighteen year old bracket want to be housewives, according to a na tion wide survey. Only 3 per cent are willing to accept that God Gi\ en mission of .motherhood, cwhich Is tht;.df^vBujr^e*nt oi ill Christian hwrfies. Christopher Colubus was only a teenager of 14 when he set a big uc.al for himself. He felt he had an important mission to perform by proving that a route to China could be found by sailing West as well as East. As history shows, he also yearned to live up to the meaning of his name. "Christopher", which means "Christbearer". He wanted lo bring Christ to millions in the four corners of the earlh. Fathers and mothers should not let their children drill aimlessly while they are young and in a | lender age of habit forming, for i "as a twig is bent so will the tree be inclined." , Parents should make the family I circle a source of inspiration, as did j the parents of Cecil B. Demille. I Shortly after his 7f>th birthday he ! gave a unusual answer when he ; was asked when and how he began to prepare for his great new pic ture "The Ten Commandments." Vw|j - 'mraawBd G?lf ?T? i The Scots. had ? when they < . cought With their defenses pown - 5L? fftfttt. , y was ^ill the chief means ? Vefku^in Sctilaiki { But the Scots were spending so much time on the greens that the country seemM in daager of losing the bow and arrow race. i The World Book .Kncyclppedia reports that the Parliament oif King James U c-rarred the people to put their clubs away and get ;bii<k to target practice. ' ' Later, when gunpowder came into general use, the law was re voked and the Scots went back to their putting. The beginning of his interest went back some 70 years to his chUd hood. he said, when he listened to his father read selections from the Holy Bible each night in the family circle. ""The Biblical characters be came as real to us as comic book i figures are to the children of to day", Mr. Demille said. Those early impressions of the heroes in ihe Scripture gradually developed into a lifelong ambition to share them with the world. Little did lie dream that one day he would bring this great message to millions of people. Parents can do their children no greater services than to train them in the true principles of re ligion which is solid foundation up on which to build a worthwhile life. Parents should attend Church with I heir children and help them in live study of sound doctrine that they may not be led astray by emotional and unsound principles. After his teenage son landed in an upstate New York jail for speed ing and robbery, a father decided to examine his conscience to find where he had failed in rearing his boy. He came to the conclusion that lie had done little more than show er his son with everything except attention from himself. In a public statement addressed to other par. ents. the remorseful father warned: "It can happen to all of you. All of a sudden you may wake up and your son in trouble and his name and picture in the papers. Don't take your sons and daughters for granted. Don't give them less at tention than your job or your golf game." Children need, and have a prior ri.yht to, the thoughts, time, care, and affection of both their parents. God planned it that way. Parents shoifld cultivate -in their children a sense 'of tAoroughndfiv, fulfilling little duties around the home provides an excellent train in? in acquiring a determination and habit of wanting to help others and return, to a certain extent, the many favors they have received from their parents. By all means, they should be taught to be unselfish and to consid er other people s needs on an equal, ity with their own. They should be thoroughly inspired that we are not born for ourselves alone. We owe part of our lives, and when so divid try and our neighbors demand a part of our lives, and when so divid ed and frcuy given, then our lives | will shine ana sparkle in the sun light of God. A good home is God's training school. It can be a powerful fac tor in shaping future events. It I can spars an endless stream ot I young people to go forth as modern ' Apostles to renew and freshen the whole face of the earth. WALTER R.

P ho size ofee. essential fact ? true, abiding happiw doeadi on in ward condition rather than on out. ward circumstances. The last two beatitude* emifriaiwa another im portant truCS which must be put alongside the first ? that true, abiding happiness depends on par. ticipation in some unselfish activity. We look at the first of these last two this week; "Blessed are the peacemakers: lor tbey shall be call ed sons of God." Peacemakers are makers of peace, and they are few. To be a peacemaker means something more than being peacable or amiable or kindly in one's own personal re lationships. It means to make peace between mad and man. or between man and God. It keeps centrally in view the holy love of God. It knows that there can be no real peace un til men are reconciled with him. It is a difficult business to be a peacemaker in this modern world, and sometimes a very dangerous one. Those who seek peace are not always the popular ones in society. It is not strange that Jesus followed tills beatitude with one about being persecuted righteousness' sake. One who would bring about peace in the world must be willing to toil laboriously, to live dangerously. to { fight sacrificially, to endure pain , and misunderstanding, and, it may I be, even to face death itself. The Messiah is the "Prince of Peace," and the Kingdom which He, came to found is a Kingdom of | peace. But the way He took, and | the way He told us we must take, is the way of me Cross. His discip les keep the peace by choosing to endure suffering themselves rather Um Inflict Jt ob others. They main tain ieUewship where others would brafc k off. They renounce all sell, assertion, and preserve a dignified ?Hence on the face of hatred and wrong. The peacemakers will car ry the cross with their Lord, for it was on the cross that peace was made. And yet one of the surest ways of being happy U to do what we can to bring peace to Individuals who are estranged, to bring peace in the social world, In the industrial world, in the economic world, in the international world, to make peace between God and man. It is only as one does get away from his own narrow interests and takes some part in those causes which are working for human betterment, when one begins to feel that he is a fellow worker with God In the great causes He has at heart, that he begins to find true and abiding happiness. The reward of the peacemaker is that God acknowledges him as His very child. They are called the Sons of God. They are called so, not by the world, which perhaps will abuse them for uncalled-for interference, but by God Himself and by His Son. The world some, times calls them "sentimentalists" or "cowards," but God calls them his children: and the names that God gives them are the names thai final, ally stand. It is a tragic fact that the World has usually reserved its highest honors for the warmakers. But only God's honors endure. They are kept for the peacemakers. Perhaps the reason we are not more happy than we are is that our lives are too narrow or too, selfish ?we are troublemakers instead of peacemakers ? we are too little i concerned about others, too much I concerned about self. 1 ?
