Dot Shupe and Iwere talking
over the phone Monday af
ternoon and she asked me if
I'd written my column this
week. ..I told her I hadn't.. .so
guess I'd better get star
ted.... first of all, let me say
that I'm sorry that some of the
subscribers in Melvindale,
River Rouge, Lincoln Park
and Wyandotte, Mich, didn't
get their papers last week...
don't know what hap
pened.... we mailed them last
Thursday. ...can't control
them after we put 'em in the
mail bags and take 'em to post
officc.it may be that some of
the subscribers' subscriptions
have expired.... we try to send
two or three extra papers
after expiration before taking
them off list and also send
subscription notices. ..on the
other hand, if they-re entitled
to paper, they should have
received them.. ..we have
many faithful subscribers in
Michigan and want them to
get the "home news" every
week. ...we're doing our
part... I had two telephone
calls from Michigan Mon
day. ..glad they enjoy paper
and hope they start getting
their papers regularly....I
surely did enjoy a fine trout
supper up at the Roy Reeveses
a few nights ago.... seems that
Terry and her dad went
"trouting" at Roy Roberts'
Old Mill Wheel ponds and
Terry "outcaught" her dad by
landing the biggest
trout ...good going, Terry. ...it
isn't often that anyone com-
m
few
pliments an editorial ...
especially from the pulpit ...
but Coach Harrell
Wood, interim pastor at our
church, was most com
plimentary Sunday morning
about last week's editorial
entitled, "Youth and Pur
pose". ...March came in like a
lamb but it didn't last
long. ..snow flurries mixed
with strong winds made us
forget the springlike weather
we had on March l....and what
about Sunday night.. .snows
caused cancellation of schools
on Monday but the skies
cleared Monday and the snows
melted.... except where there
were drifts. ...glad Cecil
Blackwell has been named
dog warden for our coun
ty....we needed one. ...too
many hungry, uncar ed for
stray dogs running around
with no place to call home. ...I
hope they will now be gently
handled and taken to animal
shelter where they will be fed
and cared for. ..and maybe
homes found for them. ...glad
Dr. and Mrs. Arthur F.
Williams had such a good time
in Florida for two
weeks... heard that Arthur
even went swimming in a
heated pool. ..and did quite
well... a few snow flakes fell
Wednesday a.m. but not
enough to hurt... sorry the
Marshall girls lost in the
District tournament. ..they
had a fine team this past
season and we're proud of
them...
DO YOU
KNOW WHAT
IT MEANS?
a popular iaa wun young people is the "peace
symbol." It is seen everywhere, but few people
know its origin or meaning. One of the nation's
most sophisticated magazines, the NEW
YORKER, has some interesting things to say about
it. It is most popular with protesters, draft card
burners, and flower children. It is worn also by
many thousands of unsuspecting youth. They wear
the emblem as a necklace, stamp it on sweatshirts,
draw it on notebook covers, even carve it on trees
and scrawl it on restroom walls.
This is the symbol worn by many of today's
young people and is known as the "Peace Symbol."
We wonder how many of them, or of you for that
matter, know the real meaning of this symbol?
The "Peace Symbol" is not something that is
the product of today's restless youth. It was well
known back in the Middle Ages and was known
either as the "Crow's Foot" or the "Witch's Foot."
This was the sign of those who were opposed to
Christianity! It is a broken cross turned upside
down. Now do you see why it is a subtle sign of those
who are opposed to the cause of Christ?
It is used today as a central part of the national
symbolism of Communist Russia. The svmhnl is an

"'ui aLc. ii appeal uic uiiiiiiumsui are winning
their battle for the minds of our youth. They are
making special effort to capture the attention of
today's youth in America. Many young people are
familiar with the "Peace Symbol" and wear it as
jewelry and paint it on cars and draw it on their
book covers. It is being worn as a "fad" gadget, not
realizing they are supporting the Anti-Christ, the
Broken Cross.
Every symbol of the broken cross is a victory
for communism and reminds us of how vulnerable
we Americans are in wearing or portraying this
symbol.
It is hoped that the origin of the "Peace
Symbol" will be remembered the next time you see
it, then think of the real symbol of peace the cross
of Jesus Christ.. .From the "Franklin Press"

SHUPE
I was very happy that Joe
Frazier beat Cassius day last
night. I just couldnt believe it
when my senior boys told me
last week that Joe was slated
to win! Frankly, I was just as
happy to hear the bout over
radio with a summary of each
round as to hear or see the
actual fight Well, maybe.
I would have liked to see the
knock down in round 15!
I believe that if old Clay will
now quietly go on into the
army, do his bit for his
country, and then come back
for a rematch I would even
be for him to get the title'
back but only then! I just
can't wait to see how he looks
today (Tuesday) and I do hope
that tonight on TV someone
will have an interview with
him. Someone said this
morning that Joe didn't break
Clay's jaw as was suspected
last night.
Well, I've found another
way to lose my fat! I ordered
myself a pair of those Trim
Jeans that will take off at least
3 to 6 inches in just three times
of wearing them! I have worn "
them twice and decided that
well, mavbe with mv "flu",
I'd better wait a while before
doing the exercises three days
in a row. To tell you the truth,
those jeans just about
squeezed me to death and I
was afraid I'd lose so much,
Shupe wouldn't be able to find
me!
The funniest part about the
jeans was in the reaction of
my young neighbor, Jeff
Treadway. Tom, Ethel,
Charlotte, Dennis, Shupe and I
were all laughing and talking
about my new jeans in our
living room the other night
and I was showing the picture
that came with the in
structions, and the girl on the
page was really a well
developed beautiful thing and
I casually remarked that I
was going to look like that
pretty girl. Jeff was the last
one to get to look at the model
and his expression was one of
utter disbelief that I could
ever look like that!
Let me see, my paper staff
was chiding me the other day
about not writing something
about them. I must say they
have done a good job this year
in getting out three papers and
they are doing this fourth one
by themselves. Nancy
Gentry and Carol Shelton have
led the way in producing the
paper with Pam Robinson and
Deborah Fore backing them
up. Becky Reid and Linda
Penland are taking typing for
the first year and miss that
part but come along with their
stories on time. James Lewis
is a good sports writer and
Mallie Hensley is a good
stand-by for watever is
needed
OBSERVED-I really like
these four-day weeks we have
been having I went to bed
Sunday night fearful that our
holidays were no more, and
woke up to that beautiful stuff
. on the ground
Congratulations to Karen
Robinson for making the
Kappa Omlcron Phi at ET

being elected president of
county 4-H Council and
district candidate for office
And to Paula Sams on winning
the essay contest in Mars
Hill Hope our girls win
