SECTION TWO The Roundup 'fife By WILBORNE HARRELL k ' X» Do we Americans view life through rose-colored glasses? They may not all be rose-colored, but most of us do view the world through glasses. Take a walk down Main Street or Broadway and observe the many people who limp along on eye crutches. I don’t think our eye sight, as a nation, is inferior to the rest of the world, but we have accepted the wearing of glasses as a national badge. With some, it is the badge of the in tellectual, with others fashion and style determine the focals; and with a few they are a ne cessity and serve a strict utili tarian purpose. Remember, as kids (if you are that old) when glasses were not as respectable as now and no special distinction was bestowed on the wearer? High Strung Christidns By TERRY JONES "And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and' wild honey." —Matthew 3:4. Recently I saw an article in a Christian magazine about Minis ters of today strutting around as proud as Peacocks. This «may often be the case but 1 dare say it is not only the Minister today that struts but often the Church people also. Some Churches are known to have an overdose of “Big-Shotism.” This is especial ly true when people won’t at tend services and worship God because they can’t keep up with the fashions of the Church peo ple . . . this is an insult to God when the people of His Church pass off the “cold shoulder’’ to people of a certain class that can’t strut aound like Peaiccfcks with new fashions. Surely Churches of today need to be modern in teaching facili ties in order to teach more and Ministers need a good education to be able 'to preach to all groups. But still we could learn a lesson from John the Baptist with his camel’s hair dress and his leather girdle. A man of God with a simple manner, a man who didn’t have a large vo cabulary to impress the high class. But God’s Word' says that people came from Jerusalem, and all Judea and all the region W * * TW&& mH| ft 4 *®H ' • /'Vim i "|j| “ JOE THORUD SAYS: Playiriq with liRP f f u ' sUia !L C i \ tesgp ''***£?''*m** ’■’«**••:»<****, -*J \ New idea: As your house grows in value, be sure your fire coverage keeps pace.

Or further in the past, remem ber when grandma said, “Pass me my spectacles, sonny”? Al though she said spec-tickles. If the eye is the window of the soul, and the eye-glass the win dowpane through which we ob serve our fellow mortals, then many of us have allowed our' windowpanes to become sadly fly-specked. And no pun in tended. STREET SCENE—A Model T chugging along as arrogantly as a Thunderbird. There’s been much improvement in automo biles since tse davs of the “tin lizzie”, and as the TV show, Merrily We Roll Along portray around about Jordan and were baptized by jonn the Baptist and confessed their sins. John had a simple message of repent ance and he presented it in a simple manner. In our world today there would be more souls born inlo the Kingdom of God if we would forget about social class, forget about so .many so cial halls in Churches and send more money to build Churches in lands where the name of Jesus is not known.

Dozens of fili busters, long and short, have j been staged in the Senate since the adoption of the cloture rule jin 1917, but in only four in stances prior to August 14th has the Senate invoked the device whereby the Senate limits the time spent in discussing a bill. Thus, one of the dramatic mo- I ments of this Congress occurred when, for the first time since i 1927, the Senate voted to limit I debate on the Satellite Commun ications Bill. The 1927 success ful cloture motion cut off debate on a bill setting up a Treasury Department bureau to enforce i Prohibition. While I had no j sympathy for the Satellite Com jmunieations filibuster. I voted | against cloture because I favor ' the right of free discussion even though I disagree with the ideas of the speaker. I supported the Satellite Bill which was studied by five Senate committees, one House committee, and which was j passed' almost unanimously by j the House prior to Senate con sideration. While the bill is not a perfect one, I think it is the best bill anyone could devise upon the subject at this time.
