FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1953.- The One Way Road Of Life By PAUL $aooke Life Span Rises IA major life insurance company re cently reported (that fljhe average American -wage earner's life had in creased by more than four years in the last decade. This finding is bas ed on 1952 figures for industrial policy holders. The average length of life for the American wasre earner is now sixty- eight and one-half years. If ithe rate increase continues, by 1962 ithe aver age wage earner's life span will be over seventy-two years: iWhen considering this figure as an average, one can easily see ithe prog ress being made in this direction. De spite a record motor vehicle toll in 1952, the death rate was near the all time low recorded in 1950. The death rate for every one of the major chron ic diseases of middle and later life de clined. This is especially encouraging and includes such diseases as heart, artery and kidney diseases, in (addition to cancer and diabetes. These figures cover Ithe American wage earner. The increasing pace of a faster life, increased tension and other added tensions of modem-day life have not combined 1 offset the progress being made in the medical field. We wonder, however, if Ithe mortality rate for executives and busi ness managers, and especially editors, is still not rising. IProm all outward appearances, it would seem that the fast pace of modern life is causing a heavier toll in this class, although we will be glad to correct our assumption if figures prove otherwise. " In the meantime we suggest that all business men slow their pace and extend their lives along with the wage earners. t WHITE You hare often beard of two highways of life Tht lead na wwouirh the ages or time. And one Ifeads down to the place below, And the other o the Great Divine. But that's not true my dear friends, Because there's only one highway. We travel it together until the end And separate at Judgment Day. , If the good people had a mad of their own : ' . y; And the wicked the same, It would be easy for the Saints to reach their home, And leave the sinners to die in vain. So iwe move on down that rocky road, The one way road of life. But we've got to go on with our heavy load, But it is worth paving the price. Sometime we fall on Ithe way Whenever we are in- a strain. But we wont tarn back or even stay, So we get up and try it again. There's many temptations on this road And evils of every kind. But pass them on and let ithem go And leave them on behind. There are beggars, liars, and ramblers, On this rough road youH find.-Boot-leggers, thieves, and gamblers, On this road of yours and mine. Selfishness, hate and greed, You'll find them all Ithe time. Hypocrites, that love to feed On whiskey, beer, and wine. Murderers, kidnappers and vamps You'll find them everywhere. Infidels, back-biters, drunks, and tramps And ten cent millionaires.

U.S. Citizens Turns To Credit Chester A. IRuse, chairman of .the Executive Committee of the Security First National Bank of Los Angeles, recently warned delegates to the Nat ional Installment Credit Conference at Chicago that the rapid increasein consumer credit totals could become dangerous. Mr. Ruse pointed out that consumer credit totals had risen sharply since Regulation W was abandoned and that it now represents ten per cent of dis posable income, "which is the highest percentage it has ever been, equalled only by 1939 and 1940." In this con nection, a recent survey indicated that American consumers this year ex pected to do more installment buying than ever before in the history of the country and this would indicate that the consumer credit totals in the United States will soon surpass the figure quoted by Mr. Ruse. The Los Angeles bank official be lieves that pressure will increase for new lines of credit to finance com panies, automobiles and appliance dealers and that it will require skill to keep-credit in this field on a sound basis. When the total of consumer credit becomes too large, then it will be too late to avoid serious trouble for many bank customers, Mr. Ruse observes. While we do not believe the econo my is in danger because of the large installment-buying volume of recent years and the resulting credit total, we take this opportunity to point out to the unsuspecting that credit pur chases can be very costly in the event of even a cniW recession. Not only is credit buying more expensive, be cause of interest charges, but it also carries with it the possibility that 1 the consumer might pay most of the ocst of his purchase and then lose it completely. In view of recent reports that installment-buying iwas steadily and sharply rising and expected to rise further, we advise every consumer to limit his monthly payments to a fig ure which he could meet even if tem porarily unemployed. ; The passing of , pw n ounce f Us, blessing is, worth And all the evil sins youll see, This is just a few. To count them up there would1 be Way over a thousand or two. We have to travel on the best we can Through the heat, rain, and ice. , If someone falls, let's give him a hand On this one way road of life. It makes no difference about his race, Color, or denomination. Because we are saved by His grace, And we've got to have real Salvation, Pay no attention to anyone's color, But help him if he falls, Remember we can't hate one another Because Gdd is the 'Father of all. Let's work togther just like the ants Without a though of complaint Let's do it now while we have the chance For well not pass this way again. There are good concrete highways everywhere, But safety you can't trust. So let's pave our road with Holy Prayer, For the children that follow us. Let's post a good example, With a hght that they may see. So their walk won't be so hard to travel As it was for you and me. But there are good things to be found, On this one way road of life. You'll find good people all around, That will do the things that are right. Youll spend happy hours as you travel through With the birds and beautiful flowers. What a-lovely picture they are to us, As they drink the morning dew. The pretfy trees as .they look The grass so green and free. The honeysuckle in the meadow brook, That feed the honey bee. . Many a church that rings out its chimes, Of music night and day. fc The doors are open all the time, To help you on your way. There are many schools where children go , , To get their education. And as they grow, some become Christians, And leaders of our nation. But that's not all the things that are . y-y- good, - . .. Under the Heaven's sky. ' We could find them all if we would '- only try, -. While lookfng on the sunny side. So we travel on down the. one way road, With Father Time on parade.' - There's one thing sure, iweVe got to To that last weary mile of the way. ..' Let's ' always be thankful to- our .
