This being a time of year when the favorite ‘'sport" seems to be ‘‘politicking”, the public may ex pect me to be doing a little bit if it too! But that’s not for me! I will say. however, ' that I think this particular “sport", like all the other sports, ought to be kept on a high level of honor and integrity. Z know there are bad elements in human nature that often want to assert themselves. When a man gives way to them, he proves himself not only to be a very bad sport but be is a bad influence on others. Good sportsmanship, therefore, is not something that we Just come naturally by. If there isn’t wise and firm training in sportsmasblp for children as they grow up, they will probably always be bad sports. Good politics and, here, when I say “good", I don’t mean, just smart, clever “politicking”; I mean political activity that is engaged in with noble motives and impeccable intergrity good politics, I repeat, is not some thing that a community or a na tion will have easy-wise. If par ties ahd candidates want to do things that are low down, they probably can do them, and prob ably can get away with them to some extent at least. If the gen eral public Just sits on the side lines, as you might say. and watches and does nothing, the “low-downers” will get away with anything they like, espe dally if they think they are applauded for It by some of the public. Having compared politics tot sports, we might now ask what good sportsmanship in this appli cation would involve. It would in volve, first of all, a firm refusal to win support and get votes in return for giving favors to peo ple, favors in terms of monetary, or political or social advantages. It would involve treating every body on their intrinsic, personal merits, rather than on the basis of class, race or social associa tions. Thirdly, it would call for a y Good things cooking [in the family circle BHrikau parties are only one of the many Joys that this happy family finds in home ownership.

I spirit that can forgive and that refuses to carry a grudge for ever. Commenting in further detail on these three principles of politi cal sportsmanship, I ask that we consider: 1. With respect to the first, that the great Roman Empire event ually collapsed because bad poli tics went the limit For money or political fsivor, people could buy| for themselves not only votes but all sorts of adventures. When the character of the Roman people thus became infested with moral termites, the mighty empire that had stool for centuries fell before her enemies. China, too, provides : us with another example of ex treme venality. A factor, perhaps . more decisive than any other in inducing the mass of the Chinese people to accept communist do mination was that for years and years regional politics was essen tially on a "buying-and-selling” basis. Thank God, things are far from such an extreme in our coun try, but trends in that direction are sometimes discernible, and should be a summons to us to in sist that our polities, on local, state, and national levels, should be conducted in a scrupulously righteous manner. 2. The second canon of good sportsmanship is that every group and every person should receive a fair deal. I recall that in my col lege days I and my" friends were extremely sensitive on the sub ject of snobbishness. If anybody appeared the least bit snobbish, iwe had no use for him. Some times, I confess, we were rather self-centered in our judgment. If a man was snobbish toward us, We denounced him in our hearts, but if he was friendly towards us, we thought he was a very fine fellow, even though he might hav e been snobbish towards cer tain other people. Snobbishness - is thinking and behaving as if you are better than somebody else. It is often carried to the point where you will have -W t? $0 With tht people you 1 flrioHSfll Tw ifStdd to them. You don't want to seen with them. , fifla spirit Is something' that . anybody ahd everybody may have, even though they may think they Haven’t It. It ft possible to be a real snob In your heart, but not -to siiow it. That is hypocrisy, is it not? And the world is fuller of it, I should add, than tfie churches are! There is snobbery also in inter nationol relations. I do not know - it is now, but" before the last war the Japanese certainly were snobbish towards the To. them the Koreans were a low grade form of humanity. From the many reports I have read about prevailing attitudes in foreign countries today, I have no hesitation in saying that , a great part of the world judges that American people to be a na tion of snobs. That may be an un fair judgement, but it is a grim fact that people odo ■ "think that way. And that is what makes the office of th e Secretary of State such a difficult one to "fill. Poor Mr. Dulles has to reckon with it constantly. Thus the tendency to snobbish ness in some form or other, and to some degree seems to be uni | versa!. It is only in the faith that Christ with His Spirit of self effacement supplants the native egotism of our natures that I see possibility of being kept untaint ed by this moral infection. 3.' The third point that I made about sportsmanship was refusal to hold a grudge against anyone. Being forever unforgiving is, to put it in blunt truth, a, damning thing. Jesus said that we could never expect to have our sins for given by God if we did not forgive others. Reports show that there are hundreds of cases of nervous breakdowns, mental collapses, stomach ulcers, crippling arthri tis, heart ailments, high blood pressure and paralytic strokes, that could have been prevented if people had had a spiritual purga tion in time, and had got the foul venom of bitterness and rebellion out of their hearts. The political health of our community calls, similarly, for a flushing out of re sentment and vindictiveness even when one has been greatly wronged. I can speak from experience. I know what it is to have carried a grudge and find it did me more harm than it did the other person. On the other hand, I know what it is, also, to have been wronger and to have been treated meanly and to have had lies said about me, and yet, by the grace of Godr to Have been kept from bittw neas and vindictiveness. After time has passed, the latter ex perience Lias become transformed into an inner resource of great blessedness and enrichment.

It may be that some per- r sons have intentionally misrepre sented the fact while others have made erroneous statements simply "because they were -net in formed" about the matter The program- was upt __ set up.. until there had been several con ferences with farmers in Yancsy- County and their representatives including the various farni organi zations and agencies. Many of the farmers desired to begin raising sheep in order to increase their income but felt that heavy invest ments could not be made unless the problem of stray dogs was solved. A more important factor was the prevention of rabtes ,in the county which necessarily would endanger the citizens of the county. The Comity Commissioners 1 -finally agreed that of the citizens, as they had volunteered to do, would raise enough money to carry on the program for- six months, that the county would then appropriate enough money from dog tax tq complete the year’s operation, with the under standing that the program was to be put into effect on a temporary ’.basis to determine if the pro gram would- be self-supporting. The money so raised to be paid into the office of the County Ac countant. The program has been I placed in operation and an old building rented from Mr. Mai McCurry. The report that the County is putting up a new building is not I true. All of the above statements can easily be verified by an ex- County an insistent longing that all their public affairs may be carried on in true nobility! May we seek that goal and attain it!
