Here are some things it does: 1. Pays good wages to its employees—money that is spent largely in the employee’s home town. 2. Pays large amounts in taxes that go to sup port government, education and public institutions. 3. Takes part, both as a Company and as in dividuals, in many worthwhile civic en deavors. 4. Provides the best possible telephone serv ice at the lowest possible cost. Accepting the responsibilities of citizenship, we believe, is an important pan of good telephone service to this community.

Pre^dent Eisenhower Probable 1948 Candidate While looking over the books in the library. I ran across “The Information-Please Almanac of 1948," in which I found a very interesting article, “Biographies of Probable Candidates for the Presidency— 194S.-’ In this article was a portion about Dwight David Eisenhower, our new president. I thought it might be of some in terest ‘ some of you to note some Oi .. facts stated about him dur ing i948, and compare them with the ones you know in 1953—5 year.? later. Following are a few paragraphs of the article by Robert Dononan: “General of the Army Dw-ight David Eisenhower, by all evidence the most popular man mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for President, has said over and over again that he is not a candi date for political office. But he has never said it in quite such a way that the politicians consider the case closed.” “General Eisenhower is a mem ber of no party. Such clues as there are to his political philoso phy suggest that he leans toward the Republican rather than the Democratic party. No doubt many Democrats would be clamoring to run General Eisenhower on the Democratic ticket if it were not a foregone conclusion that Presi dent Harry S. Truman will be re nominated.” “Eisenhower for President clubs" sprang up all over the coun try. and buttons were worn by many. It was said that if he had not been trained a politician, he was certainly born one, and had all the atributes to carry on a successful campaign.” The article concluded with the past life of Eisenhower. Other probable candidates men tioned for 1948 were: Thomas E. Dewey, Republican: Douglas Mac Arthur, Republican; Joseph W. Martin, Republican: George C. Marshall: Leverett Saltonstall, Republican; Harold E. Stassen, Republican: Robert A. Taft, Re publican; Harry S. Truman, Dem ocrat; Arthur H. Yandenberg. Re publican: Henry A. Wallace, Dem ocrat; and Earl Warren, Repub lican. Achievement. This year would be a very good time to begin over once more to make the most of your life. With the coming of the new president and change in government, and the coming of a new year, what other time would be better for us to overtake a change in our daily routine. When you make this change there is one important factor to to remember, and that is to set your goal high and continue to achieve it through any circum stance. The ability to achieve the goal in life for which you strive, is •:ie of your greatest assets. Set your standards high and make a masterpiece of your life. In or der to get something out of life, you must put something into it and you must begin early to ac complish your goals and ideals. To meet the problems of the changing w i Id today, we need fou: to be able to think clearly; t • practice good will to ward our fellowmen; to act front honest motives purely, and to have an assured and secure trust in God. In any contest, the best thinkers wins. The fellow who boasts and makes a great deal of noise may impress certain ones on the side lines, but we always respect the fellow who keeps silent until he has solved his problems clearly by unconfused thought. Christ said "Thou shah love thy neighbor as thyself.”' We all try to follow His teachings but some times we forget. The next time you are tempted to rush on and think of nothing except yourselves ind your work, stop a moment and remember the words of Christ, therefore, making it a little more pleasant for someone else. Re member, it may take a will to win, out a little good will can do a ot to ease the road of life. What is the greatest test that confronts you? To must of us the hardest test in the world is to remain at all times, to yourself ind to others, an honest pt-rson. it is not dishonest to do wrong ind it is better to be with a few vho are right than with many ,vho are wrong. To trust is to believe, and to lelieve is to have faith. Faith is he substance of things hoped for he evidence of things not seen. Faith and trust are the things that encourage us to make our live ount while we are here on earth. We know that God has faith in is, but how often du we have faith n Him? Some folks try to reas >n out God like an experiment, >ut if they would learn to have omplete confidence in God’s wis lom, they would be much happier. It takes courage and years of (reparation to become a per tm of inderstanding who is master of ircumstances. But those who lave practiced these four things, rill find in the end that they have ichieved much more than they loped to.
