FROM SARA NEWTON’S
SCRATCH PAD
'Jijiliiuiiuniuuiiiujin,,t,,I...,,,.,.,,,
ALL OF YOU SCRATCH PAD READERS HAVE BEEN
so obliging about helping me when I wanted help and telling
me items of interest, and I know I can count on you for
help in writing the memoirs of Rev. John W. Suttle. Perhaps
I should have consulted you first before starting, because
1 can not write a creditable account without your interest
and aid.
I’m convinced, however, that in
—the life that Rev. Mr. Suttle has
lived is a story unique and inspir
ing. It is unique in that few other
men have ever given so unselfishly
of all they possess and are to so
many people. It is inspiring be
cause a life so beautifully and ef
fectively lived is a challenge and
a benediction.
* * * *
How can you help in writing
a book about John Suttle?
Chances are that you are his
friend, and you know some
thing from your acquaintance
with him. Never feel that what
you know is not very inter
esting and “certainly wouldn’t
fit into a book.” This book
must grow out of “little things,”
and a lot of little things will
of themselves indicate larger
things.
* * * *
There can’t be too many stories
submitted about him, and there
can’t be too many incidents re
called. We must collect everything
we can possibly find for the me
moirs. All of your recollections
should be put on paper, if pos
sible, and sent in to me.
If you happen to be in town,
I would love to have you stop by
the office and tell me any inci
dents about Rev. Mr. Suttle or
any source where you think I could
find interesting information. I will
be interested in hearing it any
time, especially in the afternoons.
The material for the book is be
ing collected now, and the sooner
you can add what you know ti>
the notes the quicker it will grow.
A book about the pastor and
friend of many men should have
a wealth of stories, and they exist
about the Rev. Mr. Suttle.
NOW HERE’S A QUESTION
for anyone to try to answer:
How many people do you know
who could submit all the ac
tivities of their life to the
public and feci calm about let
ting anything he cared to say?
TRIBUTE TO THE WELL-IN
formed South: Not long ago in a
little South Carolina town, the
name of which I have forgotten,
someone decided to find out what
the women of the town knew
about the Bretton Woods plan. He
posted himself on the main street.
He stopped four women indiscrim
inately. One said she had never
heard of it. One thought it was a
new line of make-up. The third
was under the impression that
Bretton Woods was a new movie
star. The last one remarked that
she was a stranger in town and
not qualified to say.
