NAAS NOTES

Hello again There
much doing at the base this last
wAek. At least if there was, I
.didn’t know about it.

'While there, they attended the
wadding of Lt. Grebenstein’s

• The O’ Wives luncheon Thurs
! day afternoon was a huge suc
cess! The guests enjoyed a pa
' latable luncheon of chicken, pota- j
i to salad, sliced tomatoes and
green peppers, garnished with
radishes and pickles, iced tea,
and for dessert, cupcakes. Ev
; eryone had a wonderful time
: splashing and swimming in the
| pool afterwards. The members
; voiced their opinion by saying,
: “Let’s have more meetings at the
( pool!” I guess there was no ques
| tion as to how much they enjoy
! ed themselves.

TEXT: “Pride made more
phools than the Lord has.” *
—Josh Billings.
A matron of great beauty went
into a hat shop accompanied by
her 10-vear-old daughter who
gave promise of being as beauti
ful as her mother. While her
mother was trying on hats, the
child placed one on her head.
Turning to her mother, she ask
ed.
“Mother, I look just like you
now, don’t I?”
“Hush,” cautioned her mother.
“Don’t be vain, dear.”
Who is responsible for the pride
some people assume? When we;
Wounded Vets
Urged To Check
Disability Claims
Stephen H. Alford, district offi
cer of the North Carolina Vet
erans Commission, whose office is
l located at 205 Kramer Building,
Elizabeth City, states that it has
been his observation that the
wounded war veterans have not
shown as great an interest in pur
suing their entitlements as have
other veterans.
The district officer further
commented that many of the
wounded veterans merely accept
ed the original ratings, as to their
degree of disabilities which were
awarded them at time of their dis
charge, notwithstanding the fact
that such service - connected
wounds or disabilities may have;
increased or regardless of fact
that such degree of disability rat
ings may not have been adequate.
He pointed out that in many
such cases the disabled veterans
who were wounded in action wait
' until they are almost helpless or
j in urgent need of immediate hos
pitalization before asking anybody
to help them with their claims.
. All veterans with service con
nected disabilities are urged to.

fawn on those who claim some
distinction, we are the ones who
tilt their noses. Without our ap
plause they would have no rea
son to strut. Josh Billings wrote,
“A vain man, banished to the
wilderness, soon becomes as nat
ural as a toadstool.” The sure
cure for a snob is to remove his
audience.
Servile groveling is a voluntary
position assumed by lesser men
and women. They find it is easi
er to bow in worship than to
stand erect and earn honors for
themselves.
The pride that others carry - is
wrapped in our weakness. Pride
may make “phools”, but it takes
“phools” to make people proqd.

share with her mother-in-law in
a new nationality, an uncertain
destiny, a different religion, and,
finally, a common burial place.
Ruth’s action was a definite break
with her past, but a wonderful
tribute to the love and wisdom of
her mother-in-law.
“In our desire to honor the
courage and charm of Ruth’s de
votion,” says James Moffatt, we
moderns are apt to do some in
justice to Orpah ... In returning
to her native land and refusing to
be a burden to the older woman,
she acted according to Oriental
standards, wisely and ever, as
both she and Naomi felt, in a true
spirit of kindness.”
However, as one writer declar
ed, “Surely, there was never a
finer example of the self-devotion
characteristic of women than that
' exhibited by Ruth. She was not
leaving her house to become the
inmate of a palace ... on the con
trary she was to be the sole com
panion of an aged and desolate
woman, borne down by grief and
poverty, with the apparent cer
tainty that constant toil in a
strange land was henceforth to be
her portion.” As a foreigner in
Judah, she could naturally expect
no possibility of marriage.
Arriving in Judah about the
time of harvest, Ruth was sent by
Naomi to glean in the fields of a
relative of the family, Boaz. Ruth
found especial favor in the sight
of this rich kinsman. The moth
er-in-law, a matchmaker, arrang
ed things so that Ruth might
claim Boaz as their nearest kins
man, reminding him that, if no
other kinsman would do so it was
his duty to be a husband to Ruth
for the sake of Elimelech and his
sons. Boaz seemed more than
willing to do so.
According to Hebrew custom.

after certain legal technicalities
were straightened out, Boaz took
Ruth, the Moabitess, as his wife,
and she bore him a son, which
they named Obed. This son, Obed,
was the grandfather of the great!
king David, and, in the human j
lihe, was a direct ancestor of Je
sus himself.
,The fact that Boaz was willing
to accept Ruth, a foreigner, as his.
wife shows that he was a man.
with a great heart, a broadness of,
mind and a spirit of tolerance for
those of other nationalities—a
trait which was not common to
his fellow Judeans. It is well for
us to remember that God’s love
is not bound by maps, by race
or the color of one’s skin. The
great Creator loves all of his crea
tures. As God’s people, we should
do our best to emulate him, rea
lizing that we shall have peace,
good will and understanding only
in proportion to our willingness
to apply them in our relations
with others.
