Worry Wifi Kill You
IDEFORE COMING to New York, R. A. Seerest, was a so-called
w big executive, enthroned in an air-conditioned private office
with a private secretary. He smoked big 25 cent cigars and
learned how to worry.
When the company yanked him out of this comfortable office
atid sent him to New York he sat at a plain ordinary desk in an
office with 11 ordinary salesmen Quite a come
down. He was to do what he considered just an [ ”j
ordinary selling job. His feelings and pride were 1
injured and he started to feel sorry for himself. f il |
His imagination worked overtime and he really j
i worried. ACT Jml
i After 30 year’s service with one company he 'P ,|||ijjj
was going downhill. Perhaps he hadn’t been the
| success he thought; perhaps this was the com- jßßHmfr JMi
I party’s way of starting him on the way out. He mHUHI
knew no other business, did not want to work for
anyone else, and the thought of being out of a Carried*
job increased his worries, k
One night -walking the street, worrying about what he was
eventually going to do, he passed a book store. A new volume in
a bright yellow cover caught his eye. It was a hook on worry.
Well, maybe that was just what he needed to read. So it was
proved. It was like a rope thrown to a drowning man. He
bought the book and could hardly wait to get back to his hotel
rboin to start reading.
. He leafed through the book hastily and one important sen- •
: tence caught his eye; “Businessmen who do not know how to
| fight worry, die young.” He read until three o’clock in the morn
ing. Gradually a great weight seemed to be lifted from him and
| life was pleasant again. He started to analyze his situation ra
tionally. He now realized the job the company had given him was
really an important one and that actually it was an honor to be
selected for this particular work.
Right thsn and there he made a resolution; to do his level
best every day and not worry about the past or the future. Re*

**’' been hostile toward each other
VVhen Jake graduated from Har
vard. Maxine said. “Now that you
have a degree and a Cambridge ac
cent. i suppose the world had just
better look out ’*
“I’ve got a job,” he toid her cold
ly. T’m going into business for my
self I m going to open an archi
tect’s office in Leland ” Leiand was
the home town where they noth had
been raised.
“Oh, my!” Her eyes grew round.
Her voice dripped sarcasm. “What
a noble idea! There must have been
five new houses built in Leland dur
ing as many years past.”
“There’s going to be a develop
ment at Lake Hayden. The new pike
road’s coming through. Folks will
be building camps."
Much to Maxine's outward annoy
ance, and secret joy, Jake was
right. The pike road did come
through. A land development com
pany began selling lots. By the time
Maxine graduated from Smith,
Jake was not only doing splendidly
in his profession as an architect,
but owned a half interest in a de
velopment company of his own.
“Fool’s luck!” Maxine declared.
“You fell into something."
Jake grinned cheerfully. "And
landed right side up. By the way
are you going to the country club
dance tonight?"
“I am," said Maxine distantly,
“with Carl Ledbetter."
“And who might Carl Ledbetter
be?"
‘Oh, a boy I met my senior
year.” She was quite vague.
"The sucker!" said Jake, and
walked away.
Carl Ledbetter was staying at the
inn He stayed there two weeks,
and gave no indication of leaving.
He spent money like water, and it
was quite evident that his reason :
for staying was Maxine.
“When," asked Jake, "are you j
going to wake up. That guy’s a j
punk. Hay fields will grow under hi.s |
feet while he waits for the big op
po<tunity. Besides, he's younger
than you are."
The summer passed. A family
named Mason moved into one of the
newly constructed camps on Lake
Hayden. There was a daughter
named Bette. She had blond hair
and blue eyes and a bewitching
smile. Jake asked her to go to a
dance with him. After that he asked
her to go a lot of places.
Fall came. The Masons moved
back to Philadelphia, Carl Led
better stayed on at the inn. He said
vaguely he was interested in mak
ing some investments nearby.
3 Reasons Why Modern Souls Don't Find God
by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
GOD IS NOT hard to find. God
is the most obvious fact of human
experience. He can be found
! tidier through die beauty of the
stars or through the aspirations
of the heart which, like a sea
shell, speak oi die ocean of Di
vinity
Why is it, then, dial ;« few
souls come lo Him? The fault is
j on our side, not God s.
The first reason why we do not
find God our Savior is that we
want to be saved, but not from
i our sin;,. We are willing to be
saved from poverty, from war,
from ignorance, from disease,
from economic insecurity, for
such types of salvation leave the
individual whims and passions
and sins untouched.
THE SECOND REASON why
we do not find a Savior is be
cause wv went to be saved, but
not at too great a cost. Most
. souls are afraid of God precisely
because of His goodness., which
is dissatisfied with anything that
is imperfect.
The third reason why we da
not find our Divine Savior Jesue
Christ is becdu-.e we want to be
saved feu. in our own way, not
God’s. Very often cao hears it
said that one ought to bo free to
worship God, each in his own
way. Tills is indeed true, inas
! much as it implies freedom of
conscience and living up to th*s j
light! that God has giveri to us. i

Due crisp October night Jake wa;
returning to town from the Jake.
There was an automobile parked
beside the read, a long, racy coupe
that looked familiar. Unconsciously
Jake slowed down. As he passed
the coupe he heard a scream, a
feminine scream. He pulled up
short, got out and ran back. The
door of the coupe opened and C&il
Ledbetter stepped out.
"Everything's ail right, Farns
worth. Run along/’
"Jake!" screamed Maxine from
inside the coupe. She got out the
other door and ran around to him
“Please take me home with you."
Jake looked at her and looked
at Ledbetter. “All right,” he said.
“Run up and get into my car. I’ll
be right along.”
When he turned to his own car
a few minutes later Maxine stared
at him with frightened eyas. “Did
you hit him?”
"Os course not. We merely talked
the thing over. He didn't seem to
mind. He'S leaving tomorrow any
way." Jake started the car
“He tried to kiss me," Maxine
said, after a moment. ,
Jake sneered. “My, my! And
what did you expect, perking out in j,
the woods with a man you've been u
kidding along all summer?”
’T haven’t be#n kidding him.” s
Jake stopped his, car. “Listen.” ?
he said harshly, “we’ve been fight- 1
ing since we were kids, it hasn't n
gotten us anywhere. You’ve been tl
playing ar.ound with Ledbetter to
make me sore. You even arranged t
this little episode tonight,” e
Maxine’s mouth fell open. “Jake b
Farnsworth!” c
“Oh, don’t pretend. I questioned i
Ledbetter and figured out the an- s
swers from what he told me.” He t
paused. “I suppose I'm partly to *
I blame. 1 played around with Bette r '
D
: for the same reason.” Again h« \ v
paused. When he spoke there was
i a final note in his voice. “Well, it's
! got to stop. One way to stop it is for t
|us to get married. The other is c
for one of us to pull op stakes and o
get out. That'll have to be me. I U k
be glad to go. What's your t;
answer.’” u
. fi
Maxine stared. “Jake Farris- p
worth, if you—l never—of all the : g
conceit—” Jake snapped on the ig
j nition switch with a gesture of ac
i ceptance. Maxine jiestured help- I
jlessly, resignedly. “Well, all right
j then. You win. Let’s get married,"
Jake's hand left tha ignition
switch. He grinned. “Phew! That
was sure a close call Why didn't I ;
think of it before? Darling, come |
here!”
BUT IT CAN be very wrong if
ii means that we worship God in
our way and not His. What
would happen to the traffic prob- |
Jem ts we said that the American
way of life allowed every man to
drive in traffic in his way and not
the law's way. or ii patients be
gan saying to the doctor, “1 want

not in yours?"
Individuals who say, ‘‘l will 1
serve God in my way. and you :
\ serve God hi your way," ought to
inquire whether or not it wottid ;
be advisable to serve God in His
way.
But it is precisely this which

fF THERE WAS confusion and. un
* certainty on tile Washington
scene before the historic and dra
matic decision of the Supreme
Court, the word was “babel” after
the court ruled that the President’s
operation of the steel plants was
unconstitutional
Following on the heels of the gen
eral strike called by Phillip Mur
ray, boss of the CIO Steel Workers
onion, within a few minutes after
the court ruled, was the order of |
the President returninp tha steel j
plants to their private owners in
compliance with the court order.
The Supreme Court decision hold
ing the President does NOT have in
herent authority under the consti
tution to seize control of industry
in k national emergency lays in the
lap of congress the problem of
whether or not to give the chief
executive some kind of a law under
which he can pssume broad emer
gency powers for the purpose of
controlling a situation of this kind.
Chief Justice Fred Vinson, in his
dissenting opinion, declared the ma
jority view of the court placed the
President in the category of a
‘messenger boy."
Hardly had the court decision,
Hie order to strike, and return of

chronicled when the National Pro

Raspberries a n d dewberries
have just about completed bearing
for this season in Eastern and
Central North Carolina and now
is the time to prune them. To
understand why we prune them
at this time, we should know
something abut the growth and
fruiting habits of these crops.
Raspberries .id dev/txrrivs bear
most of their crop on new snoots
that come from canes of last sea
son’s wood Each season, alter
bearing a crop, the la t season
canes will die and their place will
be taken by the new canes which
come up from the roots of the
plant. The old canes, therefore,
should be removed as soon as
the crop is halves ted. This prac
tice will give more room for the
new canes to develop as well as
to gete rid of diseased plant ma
terials.
In Eastern North Carolina a
slightly different procedure is us
ed for dewberries As soo nets the
crop is harvested, all canes, both
old and young, are removed at
the ground. Then trie land is cul
tivated and top-dressing of nitrate
of soda is given the plants. In a
few days the new shoots will ap
pear and will make sufficient
growth during the rest of the sea

in a recent editorial for lack of

“Saturday a particularly mal
