RANDOM THOUGHTS by Doris Burton I When the Carnival was in town ( a few weeks ago, I went to see the fortune-teller — I, the hard-headed realist who has always laughed at such things. And it amazed me how accurate she was in her characterization of myself. I ask ed how she could possibly be so accurate and she informed me that certain things are gifts from God. To some, He may give a beau tiful voice, to others dramatic ability or even just the ability to listen well; but to her, He had given that one thing —a know ledge of people. Then she told me to make a wish for the onp thing I’d like to have above all'others. And. I, like Solomon, wished for wisdom. Os course, I know that merdly wish ing for wisdom will not bring it to me. Only study, meditation, and time can bring it to any person. But if I could have it now, maybe I wouldn’t need the six hands and legs or the three brains I so often wish for to accomplish all the things one woman has to do if she is a mother and homemaker. Have you ever stopped to think of tfce number of things a woman has to kndw to be a success at that job? To name a few: house keeper, cook, yard-boy, chauffeur, book-keeper, washer-woman, file clerk, and personnel manager. Then she has to keep peace among the children, to know when they are ill enough to call a doc tor, keep track of all the many things they might mislay or lose; and finally, when father comes home, she must miraculously be come the girl he married and be interested in his day and his wel fare. , We have to be pretty smart, I think, if we do all that well. But no matter how well educated or smart we are, we’re always going to run into situations we can’t handle. Then where do we turn? If the problem is a small one, we probably ask our friends or relatives for advice. But if it’s so great that we can’t bring oursel ves ti disluss it with another, we TRUCK TIRE SERVICE T*. • our specialty!

We ask for strength and faith enough to wait until He is ready to show us the way. And the solu tion always comes, maybe not the solution we want, but remem ber that one’s own way is not al ways the wisest way. It may be years before one realizes that did know what He was doing arid that His way was best.. That is how we attain wisdom. Maybe that is what wisdom really is the knowledge that He is guiding our lives and ' that all we have to do is place ourselves in His hands and say, “Thy will, not mise, be done”. There are so many things be sides wisdom that one might ask for. But what could one do with any gift if one hadn’t the wisdom Jto use that gift constructively? Money woull be no good, for it' would eventually disappear from the hands of a foOj. Love would not remain long in life of one withiut the knowledge to nurture it. Health could not be maintain ed for ' long unless it’s possessor appreciated it and took care of it. With wisdom, all these things would be used _ intelligently. So my wish and my goal for all my life will be to attain more know ledge, so that someday someone might say of me, “She was a wise woman”. Such a woman would have to be a beloved woman, and who could ask for any greater tribute than that? «P.ecent statistics compiled by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., in dicate that there ire 72 million licensed drivers in ttu§ U. S. to day and 51 million registered ve hicles piling up mileage at the unprecedented rate of more than 560 billion miles a year. This is an average of approximately 9,200 miles per vehicle and 7,800 miles per driver—if all were litterbugs,- what would our country, look like? What is believed to be the world’s thickest coal deposit—6 billion tons of lignite is an area of only 40 square miles—lies at Yallourn in Victoria, Australia. -- Overlook On Life . . *y WARREN S. REEVE Note: The Idea of “Overlook” is token from the Overlooks provided for viewing panoramas along the Blue Ridge j .. Parkway. Once I stopped at a kind of a recreational place near a river bank where they had some deer In a pen. One of these deer was crip pled. Its rear legs would not sup port it. Wanting to stand up and walk around like its companions, it tried to raise itself up, only tot fail and fall down. It would try I again. Again, its legs would col-j lapse just before reaching the standing position. Next time it seemed as if it would at last suc ceed. But, alap, no. Down it flop ped! I found myself almost- spell bound, watching it. One felt so sor ry for it. Each time when it near ly succeeded, I wished I could share my strength with it, and give it the power to stand. But, of course I couldn’t. Down it fell invariably. Its repeated efforts to stand showed that it would not believe that it could not stand. It insisted that it ought to be able to stand. At least, so one fancied. (Actually, I suppose, the truer explanation would be that its memory was short: each time it forgot that it had failed again and again.) Nevertheless the observer receiv ed the impression that it could succeed. One could wish that we human beings were as determined to at tain a worthy goal as that deer BEE LOG STUDENTS ELECT OFFICERS In recent elections held by thje students of Bee Log High School officers and leaders were selected for classes and student body or ganizations.

If every nation were as de termined to be a servant of the world rather than to be its ruler, would we be congealed with fear of nuclear destruction as many are now 1* To me, the most instructive fea ture of watching that deer was the effect of the activity of my mind on my body. After I had fol lowed the movements of the injur ed creature for some time, I felt tired perhaps as tired as the deer itself. Every time the deer tried to get up, I, mentally, was putting forth an equivalent am ount of effort. It was I who was trying to get up, and I who could n't do it. We might put it this way: I “lived into” activity of &at deer. My third observation is that we may, if we so choose, “live our selves into" Jesus Christ, By con centrating our thoughts and in terests incessantly on the ac counts of His life and teaching, we may find ourselves "living through”, to a degree, that Christ did and suffered when He was on earth. We may even go farther and say that by imagining Him living in the midst of our world today, we may live as if we were utterly identified with Him, in His thoughts, in His activities, and in His speech.
