Tall Story The old prospector was talk ing to his visitors from the ?ast. "There I was," he said, "the grizzly bear down In the canyon behind a tree. The only way I could hit him was to ricochet a .bullet off this high canyon wail on my right. Well I had gauged my windage, cal culated the lead of the barrel and the rate of twist, the hard ness of the bullet and the angle of yaw It would have aftej being smacked -out of shape against that canpyn wall, and I Judged my chances were 60-40 that I would get my bear." There was a long silence. Then one of his listeners ask ed rather timidly: "Did you hit him?" "Nope," spat out the old man. "1 missed the wall." Take A Look At The Moon By Clint Fuller Only lovers and astronomers look at. the nilion. Astronomers don't know where It came from and lovers couldn't care less. But, with the possibility of man being able to land there sometime within' the next few years, many people, falling Into neither of these categories are taking a look at the moon. Man, when In the past heJ lias had occasion to do ?*fep,T4$lS! looked , and wondered at the ball of yellow cheese hanging In our sky. For years, scientists believed the moon to be a chunk of earth. The theory was that the moon had been torn loose from mother earth billions of years ago. Opinion has now shifted toward the belief that the moon and earth were created se parately, according to The Na tional Geographic Society. The idea, now expressed, Is that the moon was captured by Engagement Announced CAROLYN PLOTT Miss Carolyn Plott is- the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E.

Some scientists think th$ cap ture might have resulted In a fantastic cataclysm. Vast quantities of moon matter may have rained into the earth, mak ing the earth's crust largely of lunar-origin rather than the moon's source. G. H. Darwin, son of the na turalist Charles Darwin ori ginally advanced the theory that the moon's ekectlon occurred after the earth-moon mass had cooled , enough to have a thin crust. The ejection would na turally have left a big hole and cracked the remaining crust. Examining the earth, these scientists theorized that the bed of the Pacific was the "scar." But this theory has much op position. Many note that the Pacific is only' a few miles deep and that It is unlikely the hole could have been left by a body the size of the moon. "The moon is not earth's child," says astronomer Pa trick Moore. "In fact, it is best to regard the Earth-Moon systerh as a double planet ra ther than as a planet and satel lite, sin^e the Moon is much too large\to bex ranked as an inferior bod^." \ A ptri7.llng\fact IS the moon's relative flufNness;\ It Is far less dense than the earth. This suggests that the moon must have been created In an entire ly different manner. Harold C. U rey, a Nobel prize winning chemist, believes the moon Is actually much older than the earth. Writes Dr. Urey: "Its composition Lf more nearly that of the Sun and the original solids In the primi tive dust cloud (from which the planets formed.)* ' Originally, DrAUrey contends, space around ttip sun teemed with moon-sized bodies. Through collisions, dispersion of the lighter material, and consolidation of what remain ed, the planets were formed. The moon somehow survived as a relic of an earlier stage. Eventually It was captured by the earth. Swedish physicist Hannes Alf ven believes that when the moon was captured, It was partly torn asunder by the earth's gravity. During the great ca taclysm, fragments bombarded what remained of the moon, forming many of the craters' that are the moon's most dis tinctive feature .today. Regardless of the many theories set fprth by scientists, man will not be certain "of the moon's origin until man him ^?lf sets foot there on. Even then,- the answers may not be lonncom ing. The origin of the moon may continue to be one of lifers secrets that man Is not pri vileged to know. ? ( Meanwhile, lovers and ast rortoriVers will continue to look and ehch In his way, will gain In the knowledge that the tr.th might not be too far away. Honored On 92nd Birthday! The family of Mrs. S.

Every deed and act of kindness will be long and tenderly re membered. Mrs . R. W. Ashley and Family j Health And Beauty "Character Is the Individual ity which Is the product oi na ture, habits and environment; and individual conceived of in the abstract as a personality embodying distinctive char acteristics and habits." We Inherit our natures, but they are shaped and rftouldedj largely by environment. Prop er surroundings and teachings in childhood, provided the child has a good inheritance, 'will usually develop him into an in dividual of good character. He will be a valuable and useful citizen. He is depend able, sincere and honest. When he sets himself a task, he applies all his ene'rgies to Its execution, with determination and fixedness of purpose. He may have many difficulties to surmont, but he does not yield to discouragement. Hate, malice, vlndictiveriess and treachery are qualities which are not found in the heart of a man with an admir able character. He "is patient, understanding and forgiving In his nature. Not thinking along of self, he is always ready to share his time and means for the better ment of his fellow men. He finds contentment of soul, and he is loved and honored by those who know him well. The Psalmist says, "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace." This Is a picture of a man of true and upright character, it Is beautiful and ennobling We love to contem plate it. None of us are perfect. We are all mixtures to some ex tent of the good and bad, but we can all strive to supplant the evil traits with good ones.

C o thr Pilgrim settlers, \t he first Thanks Riving Day must have seemed a long time in roming. Governor William Bradford told about it in his History of Plymouth Plantation. There were two years of suffer ing, hunger and even starvation before the first bountiful harvest. The first Thanksgiving came only after the' Col cmy's policy was changed to recognize the simple truth that each individual , is entitled to the fruit of his own labors., When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, they established their community on the theory: "From each according to his ability; to each according to his^^tfed." This is the policy that was changed after two years of crop failures. Why did the, idealistic system fail? oVernor 'Bradford explained: "This community uas found to breed much ctnjitsion and discontent. . . . For thr young mm that were most able dnd fitted Jor labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work Jor other men's wives and children , without any recom pense. The strong, or, man oj parts, had no more in division oj victuals and clothes than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. ... "And Jor men's wives to be com manded to do service Jor other men as dressing their meat, washing their clothes j etc., they deemed it a kind oj slavery, neither could many husbands well brook it. j ..." j_ | ii t , wrote Bradford: "C,W in His wisdom sun another course fillet for them " 1 his neu course permil ted eai/i man to " plant Jor ho own particular) and work or not work according In his nun desires.
