H. Y. Belk ? ? ?| * . AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Monday morning Brother Wray Williams came by picked up rhe old news reporter, then we picked up WUI Dixon and headed to the big Courthouse to see them gals draw divorces. It didn't take but a few' jerks of a sheep's tail to get shut of her old love, and go bargain for a new-found love. We didn't put in for any papers. Change not the old for the new. We decided all that; glistens is not love. We will keep Just what we got. That's what we promised the preacher. 1 never believed in swapping hor ses in the middle of the road. Its like this when you first met her. She was so sweet, you just wan ted to eat her. By and by you wish ed you had of eaten her. Love Is so fickle, and men are fools at best. 1 had the pleas ure of entertainingt my old friend, Woo dy McEntire, juSt fresh from Japan. He goes back the 20th of April. He is spending his vaca tion with his sister, Mrs. Frank Glass lie seems to think the Jap gals are the stuff. < 1 1?. ,?-r? ? ^ Just got a letter from N. A. Belk. Looks like he is determined to marry a German gal. They won't di-j vorce you. They know that's the; last straw in the pack. ??? Look what plan some heroic meri 1 try to put in action. General Mar- 1 I shall evolved a plan by wh|ich the I American tax- payers could galva I nize tne war-torn countries into a | Democracy while the wings of the Dove of Peace was far from hovering over Jhe world. What became of the If USA had a m?ff &t thg wheel like old raii'9plltiihg Abe Lincoln, old John Adams, iihd Jam es Monroe, our Ship of State would be in the arms of peace, love, and safety. They had the people and the nation at h?art. Today greed and discord rules the nation. And the people today live in fear and dis-1 cord. Just waiting In our helpful ness to see who starts another war. Its on the way as sure as God plant ed the earth for His own Glory, and placed the stars in the blue heaven. Each war grows more deadly. It is true America has stood the test but as a nation grows wiser it grows weaker. The wisdom of the world is foolishness with the Creator. Its time for America to go on the rocks. We've polluted the Holy Sabbath and we must pay in some way, if the Bible is true. Peace or war, which is the ans wer? I was just meditating on a problem I consider very great. A mong other nations their plan for the preservation of peace has failed repeatedly and tragically through out history. Nor will the answer be found In -the race between nations to produce atomic bombs and other death-dealing instruments of war. Never in the history of the world have the potentialities of war been so frightening. Peace on earth the I Angels sang. Peace, this was the meaning of the Birth of the Christ Child Jesus in the ' lowly manger. But we are far from it today. If we kept the meaning of the Gospel of the Angels and built peace and love around their ideals it throu gh Him, we would build a new world. But men will not let the Christ in. Greed and hate keeps the door barred. Indeed, the Jast war was a costly adventure, when we sent those millions of our loved ones who gave their lives for peace, bat no peace have we found. What is the answer? If a man say I love God, and hat eth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how can he love God ! whom lie hath not seen? The wicked are estranged from ! the womb. They go astray as soon j as they're born, speaking lies. So if a child is born from wicked parents; what chance has he or she In this: life? Born in sin and conceived in iniquity ? I don't understand ? none j good, no not one. The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head. That was God's promise of the Messiah. God l gave 'Adam a wife because he was; lonely. Adam, after, the split-up in the Garden, he didn't have guts e nough to get a-divorce. He just hung j oji like lots of men do, and its get ting worse all the while. I can't j blame Adam for not getting separa tion papers. It would have been hard for Adam to have found another Eve anywhere. I guess Adam thou ght he'd better hold on to what he had. - What is Communism? Its a sys tem by which a few seek to rule the worki. legally or illegally. What would take place if Wash ington would become a political Comitiuriist? Our Capitol would combine with that of Moscow and Joe would turn the heat on us. We'd have no say-so in nothing. That's I what will happen when* Joe takes The foregoing ordlance was pass ed on the 28th day i)t Mar<?h, 1949, and was first published on the 8th day of April. 1949. Any actionor proceeding question ing the validity of said ordinance must be commenced within thirty days after its first publication. S. A. C rouse. City Clerk and Treasurer. *8-15. us over. Wtp must tljen work for him whether >'ou "ke or not. Could. I own my own home? No. indeed not. You could own nothing. Do you wish to be a slave or a free man? If you I wish to still be free fight old Com munism to the last ditch. Have we a[ny of this type in America? Yes, many working undercover to de stroy confidence in our people con cerning the *est Government in the world. Its rut perfect, but we like It well enough to live and die and go to heaven from it. We do as we please to do if we please to do right, we do right because its right to do right. I fear today our greatest trouble is that too many among us no long er believe in America as we should. I care not what party you belonp to, or what church, so long as you ' are a true American and stand j read> to fight and defend the Hag you were born under. I ask. Why? How long did. old Nero fiddle. I hoard it was three days and three nights. 72 hours. Looks like his fid dle tsrings would of worn out. Who done the dancing? I don't know. They didn't say. Lots of music wasted. - i i No wonder there is great sorrow, great strife and so little Joy in our world today. Death, starvation, bit < terness, strife, hate, and prejudice! abound on every hana. All of Eu- 1 tope is a chaos of misery and a seething mass of hate. When will jhe war drums cease and the bat tle fjags be furled in the parlia ments^ man and jn a federation of nations? What is the answer to this old problem of peace and war? TTiis1 plan for the preservation of peace has failed repeatedly and has been tragically throughout history. What Is the answer? , I have J request from a lady Jn I New York State asking me if 11 would writ# in my column the Le gend of the Dogwood Tr##. She lost j he copy last Easter. Ncrw the dog wood trees are in bloom, and k>v?ly they are ,too: It is said during the time that Christ lived down here among men the dogwood trees attained the size of the oak and the elm and the oth er large trees. So large did it grow in fact and so strong and firm was its wood that it was chosen 40 furn ish the timber from Which the Cross was made. It is said further that to be used in such a fashion greatly distressed the dogwood tree, and that Jesus, when He was nailed upon the Crossi sensed this distress. Even during the agony of His Crucifixion, Hi* gen tleness and his pity for all the sor row of the world caused Him to say to the dogwood tree: "Because of yodV sympathy for my suffering, and because of the regret you feel at the part you have had to play in it. I promise you that so long as you flourish upon the earth, never again will yon attain such size that you can be used as a cross." From this* time onward your trunk and your limbs fehall be so slender, and so twisted that man cannot use you for this purpose.*"; HAnd so that you will always re member me I promise too, that your blossoms shall always be in the form of a cross, with two short pe tals and iwo long ones. And to help you remember my agony and the regret that you fek at having to share in It at the outer edge of each of your petals in the center of it there shall be the prints of the nails. And in the center of your flower, which shall appear stained with blood and brown with rust, there shall be a crown of thorns." "From this time forward all who look upon your beauty shall re member that it was you, a dogwood tree, that I was crucified. And all men shall know that you must be cherished and protected from all the harm and that you shall stand always unmutilated as a reminder of my agony and of my death upon the Cross." Now the dogwoods are in full bloom and its near the Resurrection Easter. Go out and see those lovely blossoms, see how they are marked You never thought I'd be a poet: A few more bright spring mornings, A few more moments here: This life is but a span, little prayer day by day, Makes this life a part Of rhe Eternal Plan Kngineering facilities at the Gen eral Motors Proving Ground at Mil ford, Mich., include a room sto com pletely soundproofed that you can hear the beat of your heait.* PRESCRIPTION SERVICE Wo Pill any Doctors' Pro scriptions promptly and accurately at roasonablo prlco? with Um coafldMM of your physician.
