Hrre is how he views them, as ex-

Highways are something like the'
pattern of life The Savior spoke
of the road or the highway of life
when he w as on earth, so I like to I
think of all the things that will hap- j
pen on this highway. i
I can see this highway being us-
ed in the future for commerce. Far-
mers and ranchers will haul thier
cattle, heir sheep, their hogs, the>r|
eges. their wheat, cotton and otther
pioducti to market Thev w ill make |
the trip without fear of being stuck j
in a mud hole. The traveling sales-,
man. w hom we used to call the I
"drummer", will travel along this
road tr-'ng to the next town, to the
next store to sell his wares.
The postman will use this road
cairying mail and packages to de-
liver alone the route in the rural
area or at the next town
Along this smooth road will trav-
el the sick on the way to the doc-
tor and hospital
Young school children, Texas'
hope of tomorrow, will use this road
to ride the school bus to their
schools Many of us walked two,
three or five miles to school or rode
our horses in our younger day and
we did this in rainy, cold and hot
weather But on this good highway
the youngsters of today will ride in
comfort to the seat of learning.
Then as these youns people grow
lip. lovers will ride this highway
and many a "one-handed' 'driver
will shuttle his automobile along
this road. Now he may be able to
travel faster, but this young lover
will he no more effective and per-

GENUINE
ENGRAVED
suaslve than hif granddaddy was
who courted in a slow moving bug-
gy
This highway will be used for peo-
ple just going places—going to
church, going fishing, going home
for Christmas, going to a football
game, going to family reunions;
people just going visiting and on
vacations.
Then there is another side to this
story 1 am sorry to say but in the
years to come fugitives from jus-
tice will speed down this highway
three jumps ahead of the sheriff
Some rober, some thief, some mur-
derer. someone who has broken the
laws of the land and is attemptiong
to escape justice.
And it is sad to relate that there
will come death and destruction on
this highway. Someone will die be-
cause a driver will be in too big
a hurry—death will come because
of careless drivers completely dis-
regarding all rules of safety and
disregarding the rights of their fel-
low man
Along this road the hearse will
slowly carry the dead to a last
resting place Some of us remem-
ber the days when caskets were
placed in a wacon or the back end
of a truck, and the body carried
over rough country roads or in the
mud to the communitv cemetery.
But on this smooth road the mod-
ern day hearse will carry the dead
to some memorial nark, as life has
to come to an end sometime.
As I said, highways are like the
pattern of life. Traveling through
life is not all sunshine, lor we have
both our dark davs and our bright
days On tills highway, travel will
often be slowed down hv rain, by
fog. bv snow or bv a dust storm.
But tomorrow the snn will shine
again because the darkness never
holds on very long.
Finally the pattern of life begins
all over. After this highway has
carried the school children, lovers,
postman, and finally the dead to its
last resting place, it will carry
something more important For
here alone this smooth road will
be the expectant mother on her
way to the hor.pital for the new-
baby to be born Maybe the father
will be frantically speeding to beat
the stork And this good road will
be important in speeding the ex-
pectant mother on to the hospital,
where a new life will be usliured
into the world.
And this one thing more: We hope
that Divine Providence will guide
this nation to a peaceful existence
j in future years. But freedom does
not come easily and there are
many people in the world who hate
truth This road is built strung and
wide and straight; if there ever
comes a time that our nation is at-
tacked or that we are waging war
for the preservation of our freedom,
we can be thankful to God for this
highway which can be used to
transport our troops, our vehicles,
our implements of war and ammu-
nition And mav this road be used
to help bring to an end quickly any
conflict in which we may be involv-
ed
May we drive over it safely with
caution and prudence and may this
road bring hapmness to our people.
It is your road, your highway built
with vour tax dollars. It is built
for this generation and generations
yet to come We ask for God's
Blessing on this highway.
Nuclear Test Meet
Progress Reported
GENEVA '*>—Indications still are
that the nuclear test ban talks in
Geneva are progressing in the right
direction. Another meetings was
slated for Saturday to follow the
longest of the talks that was held
Friday. East and west scientists
issued a communique following Fri-
day's talks and it boiled down to
the fact that both sides are com-
paring technical systems used to
detect distant atomic explosions.

Prisoner Release ]
Moves Resumed
HAVANA UP—Additional moves
were made Saturday to secure the
release of 45 North Americans now
held captive by the Cuban Rebels.
There are indications the renewed
negotiations will take some time.
The U. S. ambassador to Havana.
Earl Smith, described the new talks
as delicate. U. S. Vice Counsel Park
Wollam reported to the embassy in
Havana and then returned to the
U. S. Navy base on Guantanamo
Bay to begin new talks. Wollam
presumably will have to go back
into the rough terrain where the
rebels are holed up. Thus far, 4
Americans and one Canadian have
been released.

Reason Given For
Name Of 'Greasy'
GREASY BEND, Okla. MV-Mrs.
Fannette Thompson, a pioneer set-
tler in this community, recalls bow
the name was given.
She says that the first settler
wasn't very neat and that the com-
munity was on the bend of the
Washita River—thus Greasy Bend.
ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY — Farm people lose more time from injuries than any other
working group In Ohio, accidental deaths en the farm rank third, led only by the construct
tion and mining industries. Because accidents involving tractors stand high on the list, 1.800
women of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation conducted a survey asking farmers' suggestions
for additional safety features on these machines. Some 15,000 farmers were interviewed in
53 Ohio counties Drawine above incorporates a few of their suggestions in a model safety-
first tractor. Other ideas includc an "upset warning" device, tow cables, springs and a lower
top speed.

KANSAS CITY «■>— The re-
cession may be shrinking the sup-
ply I jobs in some fields, but
there is one office specialty where
demand apparently is still ahead
of supply.
And it's one in which women
can excel.
"These are requests from busi-
ness firms for trained workers."
said the supervisor of an office
machines training center holding
up a thick sheaf of papers, "and
we haven't enough to fill the de-
mand."
As she spoke women bent busily
over practice machines and ex-
ercise books in a nearby class-
room.
There was a young wife whose
husband is in the Army and who
wants to work so they can estab-
lish a home -ooner; a wtutehaired
woman who came to learn opera-
tion of a new calculating machine
to fit herself for a higher paying
who had been a bookkeeper in
her homeland hut had never used
machines; a polio-crippled girl
who had worked as a file clerk
and who was preparing herself for
a better position.
Women ot au age3, varying edu-
cation and business experience find
their way to schools such as this
but many people, unfamiliar with
the business world, do not know of
them. They are set up by business
machine manufacturers to teach
operators how to handle equipment,
taking over an ever increasing
share of office work.
This particular scnool. a non-
profit training center established
by Burroughs Corp., has branches
in several large cities.
"It is a service to customers,
to supply them with skilled per-
sonnel. and it also makes special
training available to persons in-
terested." explained Miss Margar-
et Klindt, supervisor of the center.
"Every woman should have an
earning power." asserted Miss
Klindt, who has been training wo-
men in business for over 20 years
She maintains it is not true that
women in their 40s or 50s cannot
get jobs.
"If Ihey have specialized train-
ing, business firms want them, and
they will find they can rise more
easily lo responsible positions," she
said.
Some of the women who come
to the center have never worked
before. They may be widows or
wives who have raised their fami-
lies.
"It is easier for those who have
worked a few years after they fin-
ished school," Miss Klindt said.
"They know how to adjust to the
business world.
For those already employed, the
training center offers, evening and
partial courses. The full time cour-
ses run from four to nine weeks
and may be in one of three major
fields: calculating, billing or book-
keeping. There is a tuition fee to
cover cost of in struction and ma-
terials furnished. Those who com-
plete the course satisfactorily and
meet set standards of performance
are "certified" by the company
and helped to find jobs.
