ROPP, Mgr. - EVERYDAY LI V IN G Too Slow, Too Fut Two kinds of rebels torment hu manity, the criminal and the proph et. One rebels down, seeking tc drag the race back to a lower law; the other rebels | forward, trying to lift it to a high level. One is an indi vidualist, obeying his own com mandment; the other an idealist, following a star visible to himself alone. One is alntpk ,nt Ne*u" throwback, the other a throwfor ward-*-one too slow, the other too fast. The criminal defies the estab lished order to gain his own selfish end. He refuses to keep step, han kering after the old life when every man was his own law. He obeys the call of the wild. He makes himself, not society, the center of the world. He is our con temporary savage, living by a law left 'behind. He is a hang-over from a time long gone by, and so we hang him. The prophet also defies the social order, led by a dream of a better day, maddened by the injustice about him, mastered by vision of a freer, Juster, more happy and whole some world. Society, by a sure instinct, knows both kinds of rebels to be its ene mies, and put them to death. Alas, alarmed for its own safety, it makes no distinction. Both are Isolated, ostracized. Here, surely, is one of the crud est ironies of life, making sinner and saint suffer the same fate. Yet how could it be otherwise? The prophet, if he had his way, would wreck society. The prophets are the highlights of history and we measure progress by their names; but they are hard to live with. In despair men kill them, knowing not what else to do with men so dangerous. So it has been always; will it al ways be so? Men stone the prophet for his vision, and then pick up the stones and build a monument to his memory I The world cannot ad vance without him! Outside the city gate Jesus died between two thieves—all three were rebels and met the same muddy fate. Yet the Cross is a symbol of the love of God and the hope of man. How strange it is! TALK TO PARENTS Preventing Diphtheria By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH Sam brought a note home from school asking his parents’ permis sion to have him Inoculated for diphtheria. Neither his father nor his mother had kept enough abreast of the times to know about the ef« ficacy of toxin-antitoxin or toxoid. Instead of inquiring of a doctor about the value and advisability of *such preventive treatment, they talked the matter over with friends as uninformed as themselves and decided against it. So Sam was de prived of the immunity which is available against one df the most devastating diseases of childhood. Pew people doubt the efficacy of vaccination. Where it is the rule, the ravages of smallpox, which killed eg disfigured %uch a large proportion of our ancestors, have almost ceased. Health and life in surance statistics inform us that where toxin-antitoxin and, more recently, toxoid have been used, the incidence of diphtheria, which used to decimate children between baby hood and the teens, has so mark edly decreased as to be almost neg ligible. Sa far, however, parents in gen eral have been slow in taking ad vantage of the opportunity to safe guard their children against diph theria. Many parents who have had little experience with doctors have never even heard of the pre ventive measures which exist. When they do learn of these pre entives, they too often follow the course of Sam's parents. Not only is diphtheria immedi ately fatal in many cases, but it may leave a child handicapped for life with a weakened heart or some other marked disability. The least a parent can do is to give the mat ter serious consideration and seek expert, not lay, advice.

Sundown Stories For The' Kiddies Cleaning House By MARY GRAHAM BONNER The day was fine and clear. "I .think," said Willy Nilly to Sweet j Face, the iamb, “that I'll clean i house today, and get the others to help me—not my own house but the empty house which used to belong to the Qalumps and now belongs to us." "Are you going to rent the rooms or take in 'stray, lonely, lost ani mals and birds this winter?” asked Sweet Face. / “Christopher,” he continued, “thought you might do some rent ing and that you could receive bright shiny coins in payment." “Christopher is quite a business crow," laughed Willy Nilly. “Well, he does get around, baa, baa." “I’m not doing too much plan i ning about the house,” Willy Nilly went on. But it will be a shelter if it is needed. For the moment I have something else in mind." “And you want to clean it?” ask ed Sweet Face. “Yes, I must get some brooms and soap and rags and pails and take them over in my automobile Two Ways. Then I’ll gather togeth er the rest of the Puddle Muddlers and get them to help me. I’ll take you over tomorrow—for I do be lieve I’ll take off your cast then.” Willy Nilly got together every thing he could And for cleaning. Then he asked the ducks to join him, and Top Notch, and Chris topher Columbus Crow and Rip. “We're going over to the empty house and give it a real cleaning.” “You seem all excited about it,” barked Rip. “I am,” sa'fl Willy Nilly. “Maybe 111 tell you why. In fact, I'm quite sure that I’ll tell you why.” WARUCK-BELWOOD CLUB TO MEET FRIDAY AT 2:30 The Warllck-Belwood home de monstration club will meet at the Belwood school building, FYiday, Dec. the 11th, at 2:30 o'clock.

Third Term Possibilities Still Confuse Politicians Bv BYRON PRICE Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington Among the politicians there are | three schools of thought on the | much-discussed subject of a third , term for President Roosevelt. A surprisingly large number are , reasoning that Mr. Roosevelt, with I his flair for precedent-smashing would welcome a third nomination, , and will silently look forward to j such an event in 1940. Others believe he has no inten (tion whatever of being a candidate ! again, and will be forced by the pressure of circumstances to say so definitely before his second ad ministration is far advanced. Still others are of the opMon that, not intending to run in 1940, he nevertheless will refrain from making any statement, thus using his silence as a lever to maintain hij party control during the next four years. Of course none can possibly know the answer except the Presi dent himself. It is not the sort of thing he would discuss at this stage with his friends. If he made any decision now it would be because of the public situation, and in that case his statement would be ad dressed to the public. So again he has the politicians guessing. No one loves such an ad vantage better than he. and the logic of the case argues that he will keep things as they are for a long time to come. • • * Real Problems Ahead It cannot be supposed, however, that all of the fun of this situation will be on the side of the President, and all of the embarrassment on the side of those who are trying to read his mind. Whatever he does—whichever of the three cburrs he adopts Mr. Roosevelt Is certain to encounter some complications. They may be more than offset by the extraor dinary advantage he enjoys, but they are likely to present real problems, nevertheless, and lead to much Presidential reflection. A decision to run again, or even any gesture which would give the impression of such a decision, would have obvious repercussions. Even as matters stand, congressional de bates have been, sprinkled with charges of "dictatorship” and a “king complex." A resurgence of this attack, linked with third-term dis cussion, might conceivably cripple his legislative program during his second term. Any public statement that he would not accept another nomina tion would tend to weaken his po sition for another reason. His ali enee would be a club, warning em bryonic resurrectionists within the party that they might again have him to deal with as party leader in 1940. A renunciation would remove that club front hU hands. Finally, if he decided not to run but kept hU decision to himself, there again would be disadvantages as well as advantages. Chief among the embarrassing factors would be the resentment of men In his own party who want to run in 1940 themselves. 12 Schools Are On Association List RALEIGH, Dec. 9.—<*•>—Dr. J.
