A Country Boy's Creed
"l believe the country, which
God made, is more beautiful than
the city, which man made; that
life ont of doors and in touch
with the earth is the natural life
of man. I believe that woik 1
work wherever I find it, but
that work with nature is more in
[spiring than work with the most
Intricate machinery. I believe
that the dignity of labor depends
not on what you do ibut on how
[you do it; that my success de
pends, not on my location, but
on myself; not upon my dreams,
but upon awhat I actually do;
not upon my luck, Ibut upon my
pluck. I believe In working when
[you work, playing when you
play, and in giving and demand
ing a square deal in every act of
life," 1
A Country Girl's Creed
"I am glad that I live in the
country. I love its beauty and its
spirit. I believe I can share in'
this beauty around me, and I
want to express it in my own
life as naturally and happily as
the wild rose blooms by the road
side, I believe I can have a part
in the courageous spirit of the
country, with which I, too, can
face the hard things of life with
gladness. I believe there is much
I can do in my country home..
Through studying the best way to
do my everyday work I can find
joy in oommon tasks done well..
Through living comradeship I can
help bripg into my home the hap
piness and peace that are always
so near us in God's out of door
world. I believe my love and
loyalty for my country home
should reach out in service t<5
that larger home that we call
our neighborhood. I would have
all that I think and say and do
to help to unite county people
near and far in that great king
dom of love for neighbors which
the Master came to establish
He who knew and bared for
country ways and country folks."
National 4-H Creed
I believe in boys' and girls'
club work for the opportunity it
will' give me to become a useful
citizen.
?I believe in the training of my
head for the power it will give
me to think, to plan, and to rea
son.
I believe in the training of my
heart for the nobleness it will
give me to become kind, sympa
thetic, and true.
I believe in the training of
my Hands for the dignity it will
give me to be helpful, useful, and
skilful. 1
I believe in the training of my
health for the strength it will
give me to enjoy life, resist di
sease, and make for efficiency.
I believe in my country, my
state, and my community, and
in my responsibility for their
development. '
In all these things that I be
lieve, I am willing to dedicate
my service to their fulfillment,

I family meals, including 1,760
I dishes and bakings, and helped

More Gasoline Is
Used On Highway
Washington.?A car traveling
public is driving more in the
postwar world. The average pas
senger car owner used 651 gal
lons of gasoline and drove some
9,765 miles in 1946, according
to the estimates of a prominent
economist in the petroleum in
dustry, James J. Skelly presi
dent of the American Road Build
ers' Association, pointed out in
commenting upon the increasing
use of gasoline by the nation's
motorists.
"With all of us driving more,
an accelerated highway construc
tion program must keep pace,"
Mr. Skelly said.
Americans have depended
more and more upon the auto
mobile each year since 1925.
With war restrictions ended,
average gasoline consumption
per passenger car has resumed
its yearly upward trend.
"Increasing gasoline consump
tion shows that the nation la
geared to a highway pattern* of
living," Mr. Skelly commented.
"A car traveling. public is de
pending more and more upon
the highway for business trips
and recreational travel."
With 1,359,244 fewer cars and
trucks registered in 1946 than in
1941, the nation's vehicles used
a billion gallons' more gasoline
than in the peak pre-war motor
year. In 1946, highway gasoline
consumption rose to 25,200,000,
000 gallons for the nation.
Recent surveys indicate that
30.6 per cent of the nation's fam
ilies are waiting to buy new
cars. SOme 51 per cent of the
urban families of the nation now
own automobiles.

CONSTIPATION
( Risky in
BAD COLDS
Retained undigested food becomes
putrefactive, causes toxins, which
overload the liver and other vital or
gans of the body, lessening your re
sistance to colds and other winter 111a
and interfering with their treatment.
Why take this chance when you can
take Calotabs? Calotabs thoroughly
yet pleasantly act on every foot of
your intestines, sweeping out toxin
laden putrefactive foods and virus
laden mucus, enabling you to more
effectively avoid or fight a cold. Noth

"Although I got to where I
lived on soft food3 I still suffered
from sour stomach, and gas pres

times almost choked me. Muscu

ers seldom stopped, even though J
took strong laxatives almost every
night for constipation and hoping
to clear out toxic poisons. Some
times I suddenly felt so shaky I
had to sit downi and most nights
