Members of the Hazelwood
Boosters club were told by Rev.
M. R. Williamson last Thursday
night, that "contentment" was one
of the greatest things in life.
"We are a restless and discon
tented people," he said, as he
pointed out that in Europe and
Asia men in service are elanioi in.;
to get home, while here at home
the constant struggle for the '.hings
we ere denied during the war
continues. "Many of those with
jobs are dissatisfied with the wages
they receive or with the hours, or
with both, and thousands are nut
on strike. The kidnaper is on the
loose again, and crimes of all kinds
seem to be on the increase."
"The divorce courts of our land
are besieged with people who have
become dissatisfied with wife or
husband and want to be free so
that they can have the chance of
making a worse mistake.
"Now I don't attribute al! this
to the war and I don't think the
atomic bomb had ant.iing to do
with it. It's just human nature
asserting itself and giving vent to
feelings which should be con
trolled. "Now contrasted to the condition
which is evident on every hand
there is a state of happiness in
which men ought to live. Happi
ness is the normal condition of
life anything less is abnormal: I
don't believe that we are to spend
oil our days in a constant state of
restlessness and discontent with
the vain hope that in the sweet
by and by we will be removed from
this vale of tears and enter upon
a new life where all is perfect
bliss. Surely I believe that for
the Christian such a time will come
for across the turbulent waters
there is home and on the other
shore there is peace and quiet.
"But for the present we are
concerned with conditions today.
We would like to have a little
peace now we would like to be
able to enjoy if possible the world
in which we live in other words
I believe we would like to be happy
now.
"If there is such a thing as con
tentment we would like to know
how to obtain it. If it is necessary
to have contented cows before we
can have carnation milk it seems
to me that we must have contented
people before the milk of human
kindness begins to flow freely.
Rev. Mr. Williamson pointed out
seven things which make for con
tentment: 1. Good health.
2. Honest toil.
3. Economic security.
4. Cultivation of the right
friends.
5. Wholesome recreation.
6. Belief in God.
7. Cultivation of a sense of
humor.

During Storm
Private First Class Guy Cham-
: hers, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. K.
j Chambers of the Allen's Creek sec-
lion, who was recently discharged
I at Fort Bragg was a passenger on
: the H.M.S. Begum, escort carrier,
! which took such a beating from
j natur eas if she had been in com
I bat.
I Aboard the Begum, a British
ship were 477 U. S. army officers
and enlisted men who sailed from
England on December 13, expect
ing to arrive home in time for
Christmas, but later only hoped to
reach their homes by New Year's
Day.
The ship ran into a terrific storm
and was quite a wreck when she
pulled into the Norfolk Navy
yards. The forward section of her
4110 foot flight deck was buckled
and had spent most of the last
.veck flapping freely in 40 and 50
mile Rales. Life boats and rafts
were battered into uselessness and
loose ends of radio antennas and
other communication lines dragged
in Hie water from the ship's sides.
Below decks, almost everything,
passengers included, was in a
shamble.
Sleeping quarters were soggy,
alter being flooded and drained,
the ship's inventory of chinaware
was far short of par, office furni
ture was ready for salvage and
many of the ship's sections con
tained cracks in the welding
through which daylight and some
times water streamed.
The Begum was launched from
Tacoma, Wash., in the mid-summer
in 1943, commissioned the
U. S. S. Bolinas. She was later
turned over to the Royal British
navy under "Lend-Lease" and re
commissioned. She has been turned
back to the U. S. navy and the
British crew have returned to England.
