AGE OF MIRACLES
So accustomed are we fo modern Inventions that
It seems trite even to call attention to the miracles
which surround us The surest way to lull an audience
to sleep is to marvel at television radio modern airplanes
and the like
Sometimes though some incident will remind us
that such things are not as commonplace as we pretendThe other evening during an electrical storm
we disconnected our TV set for safety reasons There
was too much static on AAA radio so there was nothing
to do but retire early For the first time In many
months we decided to listen to the shortwave radio
by our bed
We were amazed to find that we had the world
at our fingertips There in the darkness we turned the
dial at random
A newscaster in Stockholm Sweden was doing
a program something like our own The Country
Editors Speak He quoted editorial opinion from
papers throughout Sweden Norway end Denmark
Turning the dial we picked up a kiddies program
originating in Melbourne Australia The announcer
was interviewing a group of youngsters asking the
very thrilling question What have you done lately
One little girl said she had made a pot of tea but
it was weak
It wasnt weak quipped the announcer It
was a fortnight The audience roared
Ouchl That British humor
Next we listened to a newscast coming from
French Equatorial Africa
Then there was a musical program from Zurich
Switzerland
Radio Moscow later in the evening was handing
out her usual propaganda broadcasts The announcer
who spoke English as faultless as any heard
on NBC described an Irrigation project underway In
the Soviet He told of Red China s desire for peace and
of the efforts of American warmongers to stir
up trouble in Indonesia Then followed a concert by
a Russian symphony orchestra
BBC in London gave political implications of the
recent election It told of crop conditions in Scotland
and reported a social event attended by English royaltyA ham radio operator in Japan was carrying
on a conversation with another ham in Costa Rica
An announcer at HCJB in Quito Ecuador was
conducting his version of Welcome Travellers He
conducted an onthespot interview with a family
from New York on their way to Buenos Aires in a
specially designed vehicle with 4wheel drive altimeter
gadget for measuring the degree of ascent
and several other features not usually found The
man was gathering Information for a maker of maps
His wife was writing travel articles for the New York
Times and also was working on a book she was
authoring They had two children six and nine The
announcer asked about the children s education since
the trip has been underway for two years and It
would be three years before they returned to New
York
If was explained that the superintendent of
schools in New York urged that the children not be
required to study from books because they would
learn more by absorbing what they would on such
a trip
The man said they had made the entire trip by
land except for on occasions when they had to
travel a short distance by boat Their vehicle equipped
with electrical refrigeration and many other
household conveniences was able to travel over most
terrain although In some instances it got only four
miles on a gallon of gas
Following this Interview was a delayed broadcast
of Billy Graham s Hour of Decision In which
he scored denominational pride before an audience
in Scotland
An airliner traveling at 19000 feet was at

FOIL
Thursday
BY H M BAGGARLY
ITS A COMMON thing to hear people bc
jncan their town Some accuse a town of being
unfriendly not progressive or small town
ish They appear to have the attitudethat everybody
is outofstop except them They arc ideal
citizens they keep telling us
Of course each of these disgruntled people
lias his particular characteristics One feels that he
alone is cultured and has an appreciation of the
finer things Another may focus his dissatisfaction
on the towns commercial life He or she just
cant find a thing to suit
THOUGHTS FO THUftSDAY
IT MUST BE admitted that every community
has its deficiencies No town is perfect Every
town has its unfriendly people Every town lacks
progress to a certain extent Every town has its
share of merchants who are heels There is no
need to deny these things Our problem is that
of adjustment
If we cant make this adjustment then we
owe it to ourselves and to the town to move before
sundown To remain is to make ourselves and those
about us miserable
THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY
WE LIKE THE slogan of a Plainview organization
If a town is good enough to live in it
is jjood enough to trade in
We believe that anyone who accepts the conveniences
and comforts of a town who wears out
its streets who uses its sidewalks and parks who
Tcalls its fire department and police when needed
is honor bound to support that town or move to
a town which he can conscientiously support
THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY
SO FAR AS friendly people arc concerned
we find that the person next door is never more
friendly than are we If we arc reserved so is our
neighbor If we speak to people they speak to us
If we arc haughty so are those we meet And if
we are friendly people arc friendly
Its like looking in a mirror The person we
sec reacts to our own countenance
Charging a town with unfriendliness is an
admission that we are unfriendly
THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY
IN OTHER PHASES of town life we sec
just about what we look for If we are looking for
beautiful homes friendly people courteous merchants
warm churches wholesome social life if
we ARE LOOKING for these things wc will
find them
If we arc looking for eyesores crumby people
hcclish merchants wc WILL also find them too
WHEN WE SEE changes that need to be
made what do we do about it Do wc turn into a
chronic bcllyacher always commenting on what
they havent done pointing out their failures
Or do we assume our own responsibility in improving
the situation
If we dont like the actions of a school board
or a county commissioner do we merely gossip
about it or do we put our feelings into action at
the next election
THOUGHTS FOR TtlURSDAY
AMARILLO CHAMBER of Commerce enclosed
the following poem with its membership card
If you want to live in the kind of a town
In the kind of a town you like
You nccdnit pack your clothes in a grip
And start on a long long hike
For youd only find what you left behind
Theres nothing thats really new
Its a knock at yourself when you knock your town
For it isnt your town its you
Real towns arc not made by men afraid
That somebody gets ahead
For if everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead
And if while you arc making your personal stake
Your neighbor should make his too
Then your town will be what you want it to be
For it isnt your town its you
tempting to contact the Omaha Nebr airport A
ship in New York harbor carried on a conversation
with the Captain of the Port The voice of America
was beaming programs In several languages including
English
All this was ours as wo turned the dial at random
on a rainy night in Tulia with an electrical storm
going on outside
During our world tour last year we resolved
never again to make the very inaccurate observation
It s a small world Nevertheless wo must admit
that we are living in an age of miracles

Speaks
CARROLL POUNCEY in The Lamb County
Leader Littlefield Listening to the chimes from
the church tower the other day enjoying the old
familiar airs of the songs that were sung in church
when wc were young wc got to wondering if our
children when they grow up will know the words
to Bringing in the Sheaves In The Garden
and When They Ring Those Golden Bells
It would appear that most churches these
days allow only a little time for hymn singing and
that Usually consists of something that is not
familiar to most of the congregation
Perhaps our uncircumspect life docs not qualify
us to offer any criticism in this department
but the old songs of faith arc still good songs and
wc dread to sec their passing from the congregational
scene
Wc recall sitting on marble sjeps leading to
the verandah of our palatial plantation home and
listening to the soothing voices of the hands singing
the sweet strains of Swing Low Sweet Chariot
when we were a youth
Well actually now it was not a verandah
and the steps were not marble What it was was
wc were hunkered down on a chopping block at
the front end of a shotgun house in a sawmill town
in north Louisiana and the voices were giving their
all to a rousing rendition of When the Saints Go
Marching In with a lot of bop countcrbcat on
the counterpoint
But wc early learned to love the old hymns
such as Stand Up For Jesus and In The Sweet
By and By If they are not sung now because
they arc out of fashion we wonder at what the
fashion now might be Wc can offhand recall
no more stirring moment than listening to a hundred
voices lifted in the rousing strains of Washed
In The Blood ringing out from under a brush
arbor on a hot Sunday morning
All of which is by way of saying that time
passes and time changes and we arc sorry of it
sometimes All letters of protest on the above subject
should bear the return address of the minister
COUNTRY EDITOR
EDGAR R HAYS in The Lockncy Deacon
All the fuss about cooperatives which has been
going on for some time in this area boils down to
the simple fact that some cooperatives are not
paying their share of federal income taxes A lenient
law written many years ago exempted farm
coopcratives from income taxes under certain circumstances
Now many large coopcratives arc
riding a good horse to death by using the income
tax advantage to beat down competition
In other words the corporation pays an income
tax ranging from 30 to 52 percent of its profits
while the big cooperative pays no income tax and
distributes its profits to members or uses the profits
to build up its business
There have been cases Where millionaires
formed cooperatives just for the purpose of evading
the income tax laws and gain an advantage
over their competitors It is this unfair aspect of
the tax law which is causing all the complaints and
there is room to complain so it would appear
Lockncys only cooperative the Consumers
Fuel Association cannot be criticized for evading
taxes however because the local cooperative does
pay income taxes from its net book profits This
organization files an income report just like any
other corporation and pays income tax upon its
earning which is the right and proper way to do
it If all other coopcratives were operated under
a similar system there would be little reason for
complaint

relate current happenings to Christian
principles
Well the historic meeting of Russias Nikita
Krushchev and Marshall Tito the schizophrenic
dictator of Yugoslavia is history now It has been
described as a croweating debacle for the Russians
but that is the understatement of the year It has
left a bad taste in many mouths not all of them
Russian Any individual who docs not feel a personal
sensec of disgust and betrayal in the published
account of this meeting is lacking in his
own sense of decency
One of the correspondents present at the
final partyof this great international conference
describes Krushchev in the words slobberingly
drunk Now it is quite true that this was the end
of the deliberations It is also true that the Russians
may have felt the need of something to wash
down the bitter pill they swallowed But the picture
indicates somcdiing of the nature of international
diplomacy today
The visit of Krushchev and party was centered
largely in the private resort of Tito Except
for a tour of points of interest most of the paper
signing and bartering went on in this lavish spot
Undoubtedly this contributed to the relaxed atmosphere
which is so necessary if a person is to do
his best work It was inevitable that the visit should
progress to that state of complete relaxation when
the spirit of friendliness rose as the multitude of
toasts were downed
There was a time when the Christian community
was characterized as those wtoo outlived
outthought and outdied the adversaries We are
tempted to use a parody of that to describe some
present day diplomacy as an effort to outwit out
drink and outlast the other fellow Russia and
Yugoslavia have provided a fine example
Wc hasten to add that we do not believe that
our representatives stoop to this level Neither do
many other able and conscientious leaders from
other lands Winston Churchill was always able
to turn in a professional performance of elbow
bending but it is doubtful if his successor will even
attempt to equal his feats Men of the caliber of
John Foster Dulles will not be in the forefront of
exhibitions of this kind The fact remains however
that international affairs are too frequently
conducted on a plane of whim whiskey and wishful
thinking
Let us fervently pray that the KrushchevTito
parley is in no way a forerunner of the parley at
the summit soon to take place between East and
West Churches have days of prayer for a number
of things This one deserves a little intensified
prayer
It is a rather ominous portent that meetings
between the heads of state are carried on in a
atmosphere of this kind Wc live in an age when
the most explosive devices ever known to mankind
are politically controlled There is the lurking
fear that a madman may someday order these
devices used in a moment of illtemper If that
day should dawn not as the result of a burst of
temper but because of a losing bout with the bottle
wc will not be any less dead as a result The
prospects are not pleasant Nor is the picture we
have just witnessed reassuring
Apart from the everpresent fear of nuclear
power in the hands of men slobberingly drunk
thcreis a more persistent if less dramatic aspect
to this More and more the map is being marked
out by the secret diplomacy of the heads of state
The peace and freedom of the world is determined
behind closed doors Even in our own country the
president has the power to ride over the will of
congress through the expediency of negotiating
treaties Thus while hydrogen bombs bring the results
of diplomacy more frighteningly close to every
citizen the control of that diplomacy is moving
farther and farther away from the hands of the
people Incieasingly the fate of the world hinges
on the mental physical and spiritual health of a
srifall group of menThe
results of the RussianYugoslavia meeting
have been hailed as a steptoward peace That
is sheer bunk Temporarily tension may have been
reduced for which we are thankful But the future
of peace or war is being determined by the same
little coterie of leaders representing their own desires
They lead from positions of strength Heaven
help the human race if one of them thinks he has
drawn four aces
