The Two W earer* Many years ago. as legend has it, two young men sat weaving, each at his own loom. A supply of yam was placed each morning beside them. One day a little heap of golden threads was there—golden threads r.f Happiness. They were so small that Ivan did not bother to pick them up. but John wove them carefulv into his pattern Purple threads of Sorrow came. Ivan add ed his in harsh patches where they glared darkly, but John wove his with sympathy, and his weaving, glowed like a royal gar ment. Disappointment came and black threads of Pain. Ivan shot them into his pattern with bitterness and revolt, but John put his together with patience and courage. Success and Failure each were used as they were ac customed. One day the Master came to inspect the weaving. “Mine is no good." cried Ivan. ‘ What can be the use of this?” The Master explained John’s weaving—a beautiful tapestry of mingled light and shadow, glowing with courage, sympathy, and love. “The same things came to both of you,” he said, “and you have used them as you chose. It is not what comes into your life that makes the Pattern; it’s the use you make of it that counts.”—The War Cry. fim-ou raging It is indeed encouraging when a group of citizens, without malice, step forward in the name of justice. Representatives of the Hamilton Ruritan Club, convinced that all was not well with members of a little group that could not help themselves, went into action The club repiesentatives did not resort to action outside the law, they went into the open court and supported a recog nized plan to have wrongs righted It is to lx* hoped that the action will solve the par ticular problem. Aside from the individual problem, the club members set an example worthy of others, groups and individuals, to follow. This is not a day of persecution, but if so ciety is to hold its head above crime and de gredation individuals and groups must sup pi «rt justice by speahing out when neces sary as well as hv example. Law and order have been trampled into the mire because decent people would not act The rights of many have been belit tled because someone did not speak up at the opportune time. There has been too much compromising with crime in law enforcement circles, in the courts and everywhere. Without malice and with no intention to persecute, society must wake up and demand that justice be allowed to triumph. Beil Deal, After All . After his blind followers had finished shouting about the patriotism advanced by Mr. Charlie Wilson when he sold his Gen eral Motors Stock to qualify for Defense Secretary, the tax experts stepped in and painted a picture of a little different color. In short, the tax experts figure Mr. Wil son will be $26,100 better off in his present position than he would have been had he continued as president of GM. Of course, nothing was said about the tender feeling for GM which, after all, one must have for an old friend at dishing~out time. Mr. Wilson is an able man, a strong man. and maybe the contracts and dealings in the future will determine that strength. So far. according to the tax experts, William J Casey and J. K. Lasser, Mr. Wilson has ' n doing all right by Mr. Wilson , „ I ft ortta ©/ ( autum jnr a \nr Preaident William P Smith. Jr., in the Washington Evening Star: On May 19. 1731. a citizen of Philadelphia who had spent part of the day reading his tory in the library, went home, put on his spectacles, and wrote out some observations on what he had read—observations that are now preserved in his autobiography These thoughts may serve our new President as guiding cautions, easily overlooked in the surging confidence of a new administration The citizen of Philadelphia wrote, in p it that he had 'observed. “That the great affairs of the world, the wars, revolutions, etc., are carried on and affected by (political) parties “That the view of these parties is their present general interest or what they take to be .such. “That the different views of these differ ent parties occasion all confusion. That while a party is carrying on a gen eral design, each man has his own particular private interest in view. ‘That as soon as a party has gained its gen eral point, each member becomes intent upon his particular interest; which, thwart ing others, breaks that party into divisions, and occasions more confusion. “That few in public affairs act from a mere view of the good of their country, whatever they may pretend; and though their actings bring real good to their coun try, yet men primarily considered their own [ and their country’s interest was united, and did not act from a principle of benevolence "That fewer stiii, in public affairs, act with a view to the good of mankind.” j Benjamin Franklin, were he now living, i would in all likelihood have written these I same words again this year — to Presi : dent Eisenhower, after watching and hear ing the President deliver his first state-of the-Union message to Congress. But de spite his cautioning thoughts. Franklin’s pulse would have quickened as he sat here I writing this other man of great strength ' and principle-. He would have felt, as others of us feel, the warmth of pride and the sense of adventure that comes in knowing he was a part of America—the America that can still produce so strong a leader. Franklin would have put down his pen for a moment to reflect. He would have heard again the President’s confident hopes for the future betterment of this country, and his hopes for the closer relations of all countries and peoples. And then we might imagine Franklin closing the letter to Presi dent Eisenhower by saying: "Each of us, whether in public affairs or private, no matter how minor or how high his station, can play his rightful part in his tory by placing first in mind the interest of mankind and country, and by thencefor ward governing the conduct in the light of these. "It is my earnest and prayerful hope that God may grant you the leadership to bring men of all stations to so look into their hearts that they will rededicato themselves to the welfare of their fellow man, and to the spirit of our country’s greatness. ‘Your obedient servant, “B Franklin." Light» In the Fog Chelsea (Mass.) Record. What will develop out of all the dramatic and gripping dispatches concerning possi bilities that President Eisenhower and Jos eph Stalin may reach some truthworthy plan for ending the Korean war? Not for many years has the public imagin ation been so stirred. Here we have n form er general, who in that capacity knows more about war than does Stalin, and until recently engaged in organizing Europe’s armies in defense against the Russians, en gaged in one of the jnost closely watched endeavors of the century. Day by day, little by little, the American people—just as wearied with war as any European or Asiatic people could be—are seizing every nebulous morsel of hope for war end, and with it nourishing their spirits Almost any day, justification for these sud den hopes may be forthcoming—whether out of talks, statements, or more definite actions Some of the hopes have flimsy bast's, but then the whole Korean cold war is simi larly based. Perhaps, calmly analyzed, real ly nothing has been done or said thus far since our latest repetition of our firm stand about the Korean prisoners to warrant the \remendous buildup we are giving our opti mifsm. Yet persons in Chelsea who have lov ed ones fighting in Korea are joined by everybody else in this amazing seizure of wishful thinking. If Moscow only realized how genuine this hope is, how sincerely Americans want peace — now and perma nently, in Asia and Europe and all over— surely the Russians could demonstrate a little of the same sincerity.
