But our men are doing nHurr tilings. They are trying to make lite better and safer for the South VHtnameee. They are giving food to people, and treating sick people. They would much prefer to be feeding, r-}#hii>g and teaching the ehild * £ The late Edward R. Murrow, in hi*, foreword to a book called "This I Brieve", described the seemingly hope less situation off England during the GAnan bombardment, and yet found «4£hin the English people a faith and and determination that they would sur vive. Three things stand out: "They be haved not only in themselves but that they were fighting against evil things and the fight was worth while." "One reason for survival was that the na tion did not betray the things in which it believed." "An Italian citizen, long resident in Britain had been convicted fa the lower courts of killing a Bri tish seaman. The high court reversed the verdict, set the Italian free.'" And Murrow adds the explanation: "The House of Commons was determined that, though the Island fell there would bi nothing resembling concentration camps in Britain, and that the rights 1 We venture at times, orally and wjitten, to state things in which we be lieve; but ve do not offer them as mandates.

Dean Inge, Comer da*n of an English Cathedral, was once asked if he thought people took Jprtvice, and his reply was: *T have dinld with doctors and done business with moralists, and I doubt it." teenage hoy wrote to "Dear Abby", tfUing of a father who put seat belts in his and made the children waar them, but would not use them * Anti • Litter War 1$ A State Of Mind (From Hie Christian Scfaooe Monitor) With the coming of the wrapped candy bar, the beverage in "disposable" can, and innumerable paper products, the litter problem has grown big all over the world. A survey of American cities made by this newspaper found local gov ernments spending star-high sums year ly to tij£ up their streets and parks. (Five hundred million a year, according to one estimate.) It is encouraging to hear that many communities are devoting equal efforts to preventing the careless toasing of trash in their streets and parks. Many approaches are needed.

They would prefer to be spelling out their real selves ia kindness, compassion, and concern for others. They would like to show the Vietnamese the real heart of America, but the cruel necessities of war prevents them from doing this. As an nations and peoples have chosen to accept war as the means of settling differences, we have to accept the consequence. The time will come when war will be no more, but that era is not now in sight As the world faces the consequences of atomic warfare we may be learning the futility of war, and start on the road to beating swords in to plowshares. Those Who Believe under the law of enemy aliens would not be abused. That is what the British collectively beheved." Today's perspective enables us to see how right Murrow was in his eva luation. Hitler had boasted that what he was doing would effect the German nation for a thousand years. It will, but not as he imagined it. Few a thous and years the world will remember the Geman concentration camps, the sense less brutality of the German soldiers, and their failure to recognize anything but brute force. But for the British there are no such memories. England is now going through some troublous times, but we believe that the British will survive. We believe that there will "Always Be an England*', because they believe in those things which are high, right, and good. On Giving Advice himself. "How," wrote the boy, "can I teil my father to practice what he preaches?" And "Dear Abby", a fount of wisdom, replied: "Don't tell him to practice what he preaches or you are apt to get a "belt" in the chops". . We have been around a long time, and at the moment we cannot recall a person who acted upon advice given— but we have known a good many who got 'hot under the collar" at the ad vice being given. So, we offer no advice somebody is sure to suggest that we practice what we preach. County Council, which made littering a public offense more than 35 yearr ago, leads a long list of communities which have adopted similar ordinances. But fines are not enough. Education is needed to break the old habits of care lessness. Extensive campaigns both na tional and local are under way. Cities around the world have shown themselves ingenious in this effort. Can berra, during an antilitter campaign, sent up police in helicopters to shout amplified pleas for public tidiness, as well as scoldings to any litterbugs ob served in action. A suburb of Copen hagen, during a similar drive, displayed In a square a humorous group of figure* —pigs in human dress surrounded by their discarded trash. Implication obvi ous. Richard Wash., a basketball town, appealed to teen-agers by placing a ring and net a few inches above a public trash basket. No young person, it was assumed, could resist the temptation to "make a basket" and the trash would go in. Burlington, lowa, tied litter bags to parking meters and urged people to "stash that trash." Perhaps nothing has done more for antilitter education, however, than the coining of the derogatory name, "lit torbug." It appears to have come into the earfy 1950*8 and has already made its way Into the dictionary as a word in good standing. It Is used with great effect by the young. About the worst thing a child era say to a thoughtless elder who has tossed t gum wrapper from his ear is "Ooob, you've « Jitterbug." It Is a hopeful sign that very few jtoplß want to be cna. • i* I iMttiiuHL win ennoi sivtiu.iuis Revival services will begin at the Turpentine Baptist Church of Route 8, Mocks viUe, N.
