When Mr. Benson talks about a free and independent agriculture, he means he is willing to see agriculture mire down and be shackled bv poverty. Those who were around in the early thirties know agricul ture was not free. There was no program then other than one that called for the fore closure of countless thousands of farms and the funneling of wealth into the hands of a few. Mr. Benson should know after the recent quota referendums that the millions of far- I mers favor a working partnership with their government. rdpularhy Content The official smearer from Wisconsin ap parently is not doing to well in the popu larity contest he connivinglv arranged be tween himself and the President Late re ports maintained that the President was Td.'lflii t hVftirri rr: kwt »Wo« “Jumpin' Joe” had a slight edge among the ' L'Duu Tetters""'.•“..• * The senator from Wisconsin told all those who favored his opposition to our allies trading with China to wire or write the White House. It is agreed that the suckers who follow McCarthy would go all out to support him. while others would choose to stand on the sidelines. ^While McCarthy is shouting about Great o trading with China, iviiuij.r'W^Ws maintain that this country is carrying on an even more extensive trade with China.

But we have a detpseated hunch that this world is being saved every day by people with holes in their heads like Private Cotgte. Ifomp Tool.rns By Ruth Taylor What America needs is old-fashioned home cooking. You know the kind I mean. Those big hearty country dishes that sim mered if. an iron pot on .1 big kiv. vc7or1r'oiih*s. and that came to the table in a steaming aroma that made your mouth water. Cook c-Vnviv. vo,j could distinguish the taste of every ingredient so blended together that it made a delicious whole. cooKii * irate be fexfem—Jfut as a people we resent it. We want to know what is cooking. We want to see what is the p t We want to krwv what wt are eating W- ward tur vegetables and meat s mixed we can't teii which is which. We are a beef stew country. And we want Cur stew made just right. Not one of those quick conglomerations hastily thrown to gether—but a carefully blended dish with dde respect shown to the beef and the onions, the carrots and the potatoes. Any good cook knows that the longer you simmer it together, the better it is. In fact, the old school holds d should never be eaten until thf second day! Our country is a beef stew country, and vre have ;/ right to be pretty proud of our melting pot. Our nation grew from trans ; planted stock—and like a fruit tree, the transplanting and grafting have worked to giv< bi tter fruit. This admixture of other bloods, this heter ogeneity has been our strength in the past. It will be our strength and safeguard in the future. Not for us the deadly monotony of uniformity. The spice that adds zest and savor to the dish comes from the mixing of the ingredients. This does not imply that any one ingre dient in our national life must be more pre dominant than any other. This does not mean that each ingredient must be separate and apart—cooked in compartment where the aroma cannot blend. It does mean that the cooking of the national stew must be~a drawing from all ingredients of their finest, a utilization of them so as to brinjj out their goodness and to combine it so as to blend the flavor of each separate ingredient into a harmonious whole. We don’t want formulas or short cuts. Wt want home cooking, not pressure cooking— and we are not afraid to set up our national dish against that of any other nation!

The courage which makes for progress, the courage of the inventor, scientist, dis coverer or thinker who sees the needs of the future and works for their fulfillment, is the courage on which achievement is founded. This is the courage that denies veneration to the- obsolete, that hews ahead while com placency lags, that will riot diown talent in timidity tJufP'fears neither criticism* Tfor doubt, that is unmindful of ridicule. This courage of belief in one’s own plans and in the abiii^fe carry them forward, this is the courage of determination. Tt is all right to hold a conversation, but you Should let go of it once in a while.—Ex. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT:•“"TT-flmSver too late Ho give up uur pre judices."—Thoreau. A wife was reacting a newspaper when she re marked to her husband, ,Tusr tnniK oi it: It says here that a couple were mar ried after a courtship which lasted fifty years!” Her husband was not impressed. He mere 1 v ynmmentecl^ "Poor man! 1 suppose he was too feeble to hold out am longer.” Fixed opinions on marriage or any other subject are dangerous. They should be ox a mined, regularly, in the light increased knowledge. As we gain more facts, fixed opinions have a way of shaking loose. This is not weakness. It is a sign of growth. Over the years we learn that life has few absolute blacks and whites. Thefe are many, many shade's of gray. We find that those who differ with us may not be en tirely wrong. We may not be entirely right. It is well to have firm convictions. Vet, unless we ekamfrie those opinions oft en, We are in danger of being strangled by blind prejudice which will stunt our growth. For a full, joyous life, let’s take out our pre judices and study them. “It’s never too late to give up a prejudice.” Oak COy Rtirflan Bel last Tuesday The Oak City Puritan Club head its regular monthly meeting in Tii.'-i’.r, D« cembtM iO. with a good repre ss htutson.
