Dr. McCain
A proper appraisal of the
life of Dr. Paul Pressly Mc
Cain is humanly impossible
tor us. We, like too many
f our fellows, have not de
veloped our powers of spiri
tual discernment to the ex
tent necessary for such an
appraisal. This is not say
xig that we are presently en
jaged in a theological prob
lem. It is simple recogni
:ion of the fact that the
;hings which made Dr. Mc
Cain's life great were those
vhich the Apostle Paul calls
'the fruit of the Spirit."
Love of all mankind with
vhom he came in contact was
lis. And he had a special
ove for the thousands he
lelped back to healthy, use
ful lives. They, all, eagerly
ittest this.
Joy was his. It was the joy
f the pure kind that evolves
'rom good and honorable
iervice, and r from being
riendly.
Peace was his because he
mew the Source of help,
lelp that he confidently wel
romed as the reward of faith.
Patience was his. There
vas great patience in his
iwn life as he fought disease
n himself, and, later, in
)thers. He had infinite pa
ience as he trained and
;aught others to share his
iervice. He had patience in
he trials of the time of de
ression, and in the more re
ent time of scarcity of those
vho might, under usual con
litions, have worked with
rim. It was in the latter
ime that he carried the hea
viest of loads.
Kindness was his. He ra
liated it, freely, to all. And
til responded to it.
Goodness was inherently
I part of him, so much so
hat the hardest of blows and
lisappointments could not
liminish it.
Faithfulness in full mea
ure was his. He was faithful
o those who looked to him
o carry out the State's pol
:y toward those it would
idp. He was faithful, in
ividually, to those who came
j him in all degrees of phy
Lcal impairment, and, as we
now, in all degrees of men-
il anxiety. He was faithful
those who shared his bur-
en, from the humblest ser
ant to his most valued as-
istants.
Gentleness was his. His
oungest patients loved his
ppearing, as did all who
new him.
Self control was his. He
'as the same all the time,
nder all conditions, to every
ne.
Because he lived among
I and we knew him, we
ever stopped to give thought
all the superlatives that
ere a part of him. Now we
tgin to see them in all their
tonumental greatness, and,
1 this late hour, we stand
mazed.
As this is being written on
hanksgiving Day, we can
t help being thankful to
od for him, and for putting
s life among us. We know
tat this man whom we
lied "Dr. McCain" was one
ho loved his God, and his
lighbor as himself, and one
fcose record, of honorable
tvice to both we recognize
a source of inspiration
jard nobler living in the
rnmunity, in the State, and
the Nation, lor his ln-
lence is scattered wide.
To Mrs. McCain, who shar-
and carries on, his im-
tnsity of spirit, and to the
udren, whose Christian
btage is great, we give our

AND THEY HANG STOCKINGS!
Dear Rich:
Feller up our way was trappin' beaver, but ever time he'd
bring in the pelts, the paws would be missin'. Tne trader kep' tellin
him he wanted the paws left on, but every time it was the same.
Finally he said: "Sam, why do you always cut off the beaver's
paws? What makes you so stubborn?" And Sam, he was kinda shy,
and at first he didn't want to tell. But at last he broke down.
"Jim," he says, "you know where I trap beaver 'way over in OT
Sandy Bottom creek. Well, I'll tell you the truth I been cuttin'
off them beaver's paws and savin' em fer my kids' Chrismas cause
I'm dead-set that this year my kids is gonna have sandy claws!"

ESSAY ON POLITENESS
Politeness is a very great virtue, and it is one of the few that
don't cost so much the poor people can't afford 'em. It is being polite
when you open a door for a lady, especially if she is pretty and not
married. It is also being polite if you say, "I'm so sorry!" when
you run into a truck, instead of "Why don't you look where you're
going, you big bum you!" especially if the other driver IS a big
bum and I mean big. It is much nicer to be polite than horizontal.
It don't cost you nothin' and it may save a hospital bill.

RE-WORDNG THE CLASSICS
You can't judge a bloke by his cover.
Two heads are better than one, but they take twice as many hats.
A woman's past may be told by her presents.
Rags a royal raiment are, when worn fur-trimmed.
Fair exchange is no snobbery.

MAYBE THE FELLOW wfio complained that bananas were
'mostly cob" wasn't so dumb, abter all. Science keeps on discover
ing that we've been throwing away the better parts some of our
ood produce.
THE LATEST DISCOVERY in that line shows that oat hulls
have great value in helping produce a new non-poisonous killer of
disease germs that is described as "potentially greater" than penicil
lin.
I KNEW THERE MIST be some other use for oat hulls than

Dear Uncle Rich:
It says here in a U. P. dispatch that a man in London,
tired of wating -two weeks or more each time he sent his laundry
out, has found that he can get it back within 10 days by sending it
via mail to a laundry in Melbourne, Australia halfway around the
world. But what I want to know is, what's the name of that laun
