Staff Writer
A group of learned men were
gathered together one day, discuss
jng the Human Race in general
and its foibles and frailitieK in
particular. Lach one h.iri a per
sonal choice of what he considered
the "Cardinal Sin" of the present
day man or woman.
One suggested "Immorality" and
that was taftcn apart and diagnos
ed thoroughly. The ultimate de
cision was that "Immorality" could
hardly be applied to the Human
Race as a whole for it was some
thing that was wholly governed by
the person, or persons, involved
and only in certain cases would
extend it.'iV'fl'ect upon more than
the few concerned and could not
he applicable to the many.
Then "Intolerance" came in for
its hearing and the discussion
waxed loud and long. "Intoler
ance" certainly could, and did, rub
shoulders with every class and
caused ill feeling, heart aches and
disruption wherever practiced. II
smacked of peonage, slavery and
dictation and took away the rights
of others, rights which are given
by the American way of living. It
left the slime of discord where
its trail wound and no pathway
was smoother for its touch Yes.
"Intolerance" seemed to be the
proper word In (ill in the doited
line after Hie question "What is
the greatest sin of the Human
Race?"
A quiet, scholarly looking man
who had silently listened to his
contemporaries arguing, now quiet
ly submitted his suggestion.
"My idea." he went on to say.
"of the worst sin of the present
generation is 'Ingratitude'. It is
twin sister to 'Intolerance' hut it is
so universally employed I hat it
outranks anything else"
Ingratitude! II begins with the
neglect of the simple little act of
saying "thank you", for a service
done, no matter how small or in
significant. So many try to make the excuse
that it is an oversight, not an in
tentional disregard for the nice
ties of every clay life: something
that is missed because of the stress
of time. That's a lot of rubbish!
When any one asks a favor, they
know they are putting some one
to the trouble of carrying out
their desires, no matter how trivial
the act may be. If it is worth re
questing to he accomplished, it
most assuredly is worth the breath
to exhale two simple syllables:
A Letter About a Tomboy
Br CARRY CLEVELAND MTMS, tlJ
YOU and I admire tht parents
of the mother described in the fol
lowing letter, only w with the
mother had enough fortitude
tell her sisters to mind their o
business.
"Dear Dr. Myers: Sine 1
never miss reading your column,
1 am going to ask yon to try to
give me an answer to something
which is troubling me.
"I have a little daughter ten
years old. She is in the fifth grade
and does very well in her itndiea'.
Tidy and Clean
"She won't go to school in the
morning without being rery tidy
and clean but after school, just as
soon as ber homework is done,
she puts on old slacks and a sweat
er and, to be perfectly frank, is
just a tomboy. She alwaya has
two or three children from ber
class with her and they play ball,
climb trees and you can imagine
just how she looks when eh eemea
in for her supper.
"Now, pr. Myers, her daddy
and I have laughed at her being
such a tomboy, but my listen are
at me continually to make her
more ladylike. She ia a very easy
V, 1 ,1 tall. rt mnA 1 iinnftctt f
frames, but my husband, in his
quiet way, says let her alone and
she will grow up soon enough.
Sister's Children
"My sisters have girls about her
age but they are not so active as
our youngster. We have never had
any trouble making her listen to
us and we have had so much fan
with her that my husband and 1
really enjoy her.
"Now, Dr. Myers, my sisters
blame me to a certain extent for
her being athletic for ahe and 1
hare always had a tussle in her
bedroom every - evening playing
rough and tumble. 1 don't know
if 1 have made myself clear to you
but ahe ia well-behaved and gets
long nicely with people. But my
listers are getting in my hair.
Now, should 1 make her settle
down to being a lady T
"I am about at the end of the
rope, for my sisters are at me all
the time laying if 1 don't make
her take an interest in her appear
ance now ahe will get worse as she
grows older. But my argument is
that since she doesn't go to school
or any other activities without
looking neat and clean, 1 have
nothing to worry about. She be
long! to Girl Scouts and sings in
the church junior choir. My neigh
bora say I am very foolish to let
my aisteri worry me.
"Am I doing right or wrong?
We have been so happy until I
began to worry. She has got a
laughing face and gets so much
fnn out of everything."
Here ia how 1 answered her. I
agree entirely with your husband
and you do, too, when you use the
sense you ware born with. Don't
you know that your sisters are not
the mother of your daughter? Let
them stay in their own hair and
mind their own business and not
rob you and your daughter of
wholesome happiness and ber bet
education. The more of a tomboy
she ii now, the finer lady she is
likely to be at seventeen.

"tlfank you." Watch the fellow
who never says "thank you", and
you will find a potential chiseler
and a runner-up for the Cardinal
Sin of the Human Race, "the in-
grate."
Some folk go through this life
being human parasites, forgetting
10 give credit to the tree upon
which they have lived. To the
innocent by-stander, it seems as
though these people are the ones
who thrive, succeed and pretty
nearly have everything they want
but there always comes a day when
the tree gives out under them, and
then they are in a bad way. Had
they given this foundation a little
011 of appreciation or nourishment
of gratefulness, the tree would
still be stalwart and a firm prop
for their future. Even a tree can
refuse to carry a load without
some encouragement.
How many think to say "thank
you" to a Higher Power for a
lovely day. a moon lit night, an
escape from a near-accident; for
a staunch friend or a heart-warm
ing remark?
Why should some people think
that everything done for them Is
just routine work? Those who
think the "world owes them a liv
ing" may wake up some fine day
and find that the world (their
world) has gone into reverse and
they are perilously hanging on the
outer rim whirling into the empti
ness of oblivion.
This world we live in is a world
of cooperation; none of us is en
tirely independent ; to the. extent
that we do not need ihe helping
hand of some fellow traveler on
this highway of life. We may, at
a moment of wild exhileratlon be
cause of some great feat accom
plished think we arc self-sufficient
but w hen we return to the level of
common sense, we realize that we
could never have succeeded had
not some one else given us the
mental or physical boost necessary.
Then, surely, our first thought
would be to give a grateful ex
pression of appreciation. Jiut do
we?
Remember this; there are dozens
of ways of saying "THANK YOU"
without opening your mouth. Try
it!
James K. Boone, EM 3c
Serving On Quincy
James K. Boone, 20, cleetri
cians's mate, third class, USNR,
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Boone,
of Waynesville, R.F.D. No. 1, went
to the shores of Japan on July 14,
and helped a mighty naval task
force hurl dynamite into Japanese
homelands, according to informa
tion received from aboard the
USS Quincy off Japan.
In a force of 3rd fleet warships,
the Quincy on which he is serv
ing, turned her powerful guns on
the Honshu steel city of Kamaiski,
275 miles north of Tokyo. More
than 1,000 carrier-based planes al
so figured in the attack.
The first ship to be fired upon
in the Normandy landings, she was
under fire for 19 days without a
single casualty. Crew members
displayed trie same determination
off Japan's shores that was exhibit
ed when the ship sailed into an
eighty-day duel with a 14-inch
German coastal gun off the coast
of Southern France.
In January, 1945, the Quincy
was temporary headquarters for
the late President Roosevelt and
his military and diplomatic stalls
during the trip to the historic
Yalta conference. Earlier this
year she fought at Okinawa.
