Lions Club Outstanding Civic Organization
(Editor'* Note: Beginning to-
day jhis ipace will be devoted
to utorie* on civic organizations
and various other stories con-
cerning Gladewater groups and
individuals These features will
appear each Sunday. Today's
story Is about the Gladewuter
Lions Club.)
Br JEANNE BELK
It was in that a group of 34
Gladewuter men banded together
to lorm a Lions Club because they
believed Lionism an. active -and
efficient medium for united com-
munity effort and enterprise and
these 34 men were interested in
their community. The club re-
ceived its charter on October 14,
1931.
Down through the years the
work of the local organization has
been widely recognized because
the club has always taken part
in helping to meet the needs of
the community and has bcome
one of the most important civic
organizations in Gladewater.
The purpose of a Lions Club is
more than good fellowship anu
club social life, important though
these are. Throughout the years
Lions have always been interested
in every opportunity for unselfish
service to the community, and to
this end, this group of civic-mind-
ed citizens render great services
to Gladewater and its citizens.
Local Lions have many projects
but their main interest involves
the sight conservation. They have
been responsible for securing
glasses for numerous youngsters,
adults and have been the benefac-
tors making needed operations
possible. Helping the afflicted is
only a small portion of the worth-
while projects in which local
Lions participate. Gladewater
Lions have been instrumental in
helping equip locating physicians
in towns and areas needing them
furnishing aid for needy persons,
orphans, the aged and the ill. Be-
sides-rendering aid to the needy,
Lions join in campaigns which
will make a better town and com-
, munity in which to live.
^iLions International is composed
districts, each under the
jurisdiction of a district Governor
elected at the annual District con-
vention by the delegates ot tn«.
clubs in the district. The Glade-
water Club is classified in District
2X and district governor is David
E. Wicker, Jr., of Dallas. Lions
International was organized with
the idea of uniting on a basis of
unselfish community service.

Lions Clubs have a code of
ethics that would make any club
proud:
1. To show faith in the .worth-
iness of my vocation by indus-
trious application to the end that
I may merit a reputation for quali-
ty of service.
2. To seek success and to de-
mand all fair remuneration or
profit as my just due, but to ac-
cept no profit or success at the
price of my own self-respect lost
because of unfair advantage taken
or because of questionable acts on
my part. *
3. To remember that in build-
ing up my business it is not ne-
cessary to tear down another’s; to
be loyal to my clients or customers
and true to myself.
4. Whenever a doubt arises as
to the right or ethics of my posi-
tion or action towards my fellow
men, to resolve such doubts
against myself.
5. To hold friendships as an end
and not a means. To hold that true
friendship exists not on account of
the service performed by one to
another, but that true friendship
demands nothing but accepts serv-
ice in the spirit in which it is
given.
6. Always to bear in mind my
obligation as a citizen to my na-
tion, my state and my community,
and to give to them my unswerv-
ing loyalty in word, act and deed.
To give them freely of my time,
labor and means.
7. To aid my fellow men by giv-
ing sympathy to those in distress,
my aid to the weak, and my sub-
stance to the needy.
8. To be careful with my criti-
I cisms and liberal with my praise;
• to build up and not destroy.

TEN YEARS AGO
Excerpt* 1a1r*n tf*\m filoe of Ihm
Tim ••Tribun*)
Monday morning Gladewater
had purchased $105,033.25 in
Fourth War Loan Bonds, a little
less than one-third of the quota,
Loyce Phillips, chairman of the
drive, reported. However, he said
the purchases represented the
i small bond buyers, as none of the
large buyers, $10,000 and upward,
were yet accounted for.

Mrs. Jim Merritt, was hostess
"Mclay to the Rock Springs Home
Demonstration Club. The club
was called to order with Mrs. J.
Timmons leading Jn prayer.
Roll call was answered with
"What I hope to accomplish this
vear.” The club appointed a flhw-
er committee consisting of Mrs.
Sam L. Veripbn, Mrs. Lena Gary
and Mrs. Herman Reynolds.
come known for its many activi-
ties and affairs it sponsors in or-
der to raise funds for different
projects. It has sponsored broom
sales, wrestling events; benefit
shows and many other programs,
always offering something good
for the money they receive to fur-
■ther their projects.
One of the most outstanding
projects sponsored by the local
group is that of helping send the
Gladewater High School Band to
the International Lions Conven-
tions. In 1939 Lions sponsored a
trip to Pitsburgh, Penn, and to
the World Fair at New York. In
1941, to New Orleans; in 1947 to
New York; in 1951 to Mexico City
and this year they are helping to
send the musicians to the conven-
tion in New York again.
Just recently the Lions Club of
Gladewater added another feather
to its cap when it organized a club
in the White Oak Community.
Thursday night their dreams were
realized when District Governor
Wicker, representing International,
presented the charter to the White
Oak Club.
During the life of this club many
honors have been bestowed on in-
dividual members as well as the
entire membership. Allen B. Cald-
well, former member of the local
organization and now district gov-
ernor of District 28, was awarded
the “Key of Nations” for bringing
100 members into Lionism. This
occured when he was a member of
the Gladewater Club.
Another highlight in the history
of this jocal group is the presen-
tation of its gong and gavel which
was made by Jack Dempsey.
At the present time 12 members
of the organiaztion are eligible for
awards. W. A. Scarborough is eli-
gible for a Ju-year-charter Chev-
ron; W. Mark Day, Samuel C.

The moon hns n temperature

degree* below zero oentltittle.
“And forgive us our debts, as
we forgive our debtors."
Thi* request for forgiveness,
right in the middle of the modal
prayer Jesus gave His disciples,
teaches that we can receive for-
giveness from God only as we
ourselves forgive others. Human
hearts are turned to God because
of an understanding of His boun-
tiful love. But that love, bound-
less though It is, can not touch
our hearts .without awakening
love for our associates.
Elsewhere in Hi* sermon on the
mount, Jesus said, “If ye forgive
men their trespasses, your heav-
enly Father will also forgive you.
But if ye forgive noW men their
trespasses, neither will your Fa-
ther forgive your trespasses." The
unforgiving individual cuts off the
very channel through which he
can receive mercy and pardon
from the Most High. However
great the wounds to our spirits
by others we cannot cherish our
grievances and be Christ-like. Just
as we hope to be forgiven for our
sins against God, just so we are to
pardon all who have sinned against
us, who have done us evil.
Forgiveness has a broader
meaning than many suppose. The
forgiveness God gives is not mere-
ly a judicial act by which He
frees us from condemnation. It is
not mere forgiveness for sin, but
it is reclaiming from sin. It is this
outflow of .redeeming love that
transforms sin-hardened hearts.
The Psalmist had a true concep-
tion of forgiveness when he
prayed, “Create In me a clean
heart, O God, and r.mew a right
spirit within me.
Forgiveness from sin, reconcil-
iation with God, does not come to
us as a reward for our works. It
is not bestowed because of any
merit wc may possess. It is a gift,
its foundation of bestowal the
spotless righteousness of Him who
died on Calvary's cross. On the
cross God in Christ gave Himself
for our sins. He suffered that
cruel death, bore for us all the
burden of guilt, "the just for the
unjust,” that He might reveal His
love, and thereby draw men unto
himself.
That same Jesus says, “Be ye
kind one to another, tenderheart-
ed, forgiving one another, even as
God for Christ’s sake hath for-
given you.” As wc come to God,
this is the condition that meets us
at the threshhoid of prayer, that,
receiving mercy from Him, we
yield ourselves to reveal His
grace to others.
The poet Whittier taught that
the cross is,at the very center of
God’s forgiveness in there words:
Not with hatred's undertow
Doth the love eternal flow;
Still Tby heart, O Christ arisen.
Yearns to reach the souls in
prison!
Through all depths of sin and loss
Drops the plu nmet of Thy cross!
Never yet abysu was found
Deeper than that cross could
sound.

With this new machine, he stat-
ed, whole libraries of Western
works could be made available
to “non-industrial backward na-
tions’1 and give them the know-
how of Western technology.
It won’t be right away, though,
according to the professor. At pres-
ent this machine costs something
like $700,000, has thousands of
parts, takes up an enormous lot
of space, and is so complicated
that only very few of our own
technicians know how to operate
and repair it. So how could a tech-
nician of a "backward nation"
ever successfully fool around
with it?
• * •
So far this wonder-machine
translates only 250 words. I my-
self have heard Vishinsky and
Malik use many more different
words than that just to insult us
in the United Nations. So you may
imagine how long it will be be-
fore the machine can translate
enough words to say something
nice about us.
'rtiJn, too, a good many Russian
words; have double meanings. The
Russian word “ugi,” lor Instance,
can mean either “angle” or “coal. ’
How can this new automatic !
translator know whether you want j
to order ,%.ton of coal or a ton of
angles? I
All these things will eventually
be straightened out. Eventually, |
(he dispatch said, even such sen- j
tences with double-meaning words
ns this one will t>c translatable:
“She taxied her plane on the j
aproiuand then went home to do ;
her housework.”
That’ll be something!

many titles for her. But love be-

Scotland and went into hiding.
In sDite of all his money. Papa
couldn’t find them anywhere so
he got, what i« called in Scotland,
"an interdict,” preventing them
from getting married.
To make a long story short.
Father Patino had the interdict
set aside and the marriage took
place.
