IT'S ONLY RIGHT
Trapped in limbo between the living and the dead ore
1,363 U.S. servicemen reported missing in action in
Vietnam. Only the return of these men could alleviate
their wives' heartache, but the federal government is
t.-ymg to lessen some of the hardships of the fatherless
families by awarding generous sums of money and
benefits to the wives. If a husband's status changes
from MIA to KIA (killed in action), government aid
increases.
This humanitarian gesture speaks volumes for the
American way of life, for it shows how important the
individual and his problems are to the community. One
widow, for example, found she was eligible for
payments totaling $91,000 initially and S822 a month
thereafter. Once a death certificate is issued, a widow
is eligible for immediate payment of 515,000 in Notional
Survivors Life Insurance. Other monetary compensation
includes special savings trust funds, immediate gratuity
payments, social security tax refunds and payments, a
monthly dependent indemnity compensation and
educational assistance.
The vast majority of our servicemen performed
valiantly in a war-torn land so for away. It is only right
that we honor them now by caring for the loved ones
they left behind.
FACTS AND OPINION
"Some families in Burlington, Wisconsin...conducted
an experiment to see how they could get along,"
reports Cipsco News, a Central Illinois Public Service
Company publication, "if a crippling shortage
developed. They used candles for light, did not use any
electrical appliances, left their cars in the garage and
generally pretended that the worst had happened.
Perhaps some of the government officials who deal with
energy problems should have participated, too. If they
knew what it was like to do without gasoline or
electricity, maybe it wouldn't take three years, as it
often does now, to get through the red tape and obtain
a license for a new power station. Do you think they still
would take as long to decide if the polar bears and
caribou would be disturbed by an oil pipeline in the
Arctic? We doubt it."
According to The Wall Street Journal, "Cost of
attending college rose about $100 to SI 50 during the
past year, the College Entrance Examination Board said.
The average yearly cost of college can range from
SI ,637 for commuter students at junior colleges to
$3,279 for residents at private four-year schools."
A J.C. Penney Company publication reveals that,
"When it comes to quitting smoking, men have it all
over women. According to a...government survey 26
percent of all adult men smokers have quit, but only 11
percent of women smokers have dropped the habit. And
those women who have quit are a lot less successful
than male quitters. Between 1966 and 1970 one man in
12 who had quit went back to smoking,- the ratio among
women was one in nine."
The Rusk Kiwanis held their
weekly meeting ;it noon
Tuesday. July 31 at the
Pineview with 22 in atten-
dance. including the following
visitors: Bart Bartula from

Crysup, with Mrs Webb Finlev
at the piano. Melvin Moore led
the club in the pledge to the
flag and Morris Hassell offered

seven who indicated they
attended church the previous

THE BOOK NOOK
By Gerald Chapman-Librarian
Why is it that the man who
puts the cap back on the
toothpaste always marries a
woman who doesn't?"
Lion Vice-President Frank
Merriwether presided last
Thursday and quickly found
that we had no guests. Then he
had Lion JoEd Anderson to
lead the singing and he got lost
on "When the Saints Go
Marching In "
Lion Merriwether introduced
Lion Morgan Phillips as our
program Lion Phillips presen-
ted a film entitled "Be Water
Wise" It was pointed out that
more die in water sports than
any other sport Be Water Wise
and Stay Alive. Everybody was
asked to use safety methods
around a swimming pool. Be
sure rails are on diving boards,
have good life guards, etc.
There are more and more
people using lakes that have no
life guards or safety features.
When going out into a lake for
the first time be sure and check
it out as to the safety of it.
Wade out slowly, checking to
see if there is any holes, broken
glass or what have you. This is
for your own protection as well
as protection for the wife and
kids. Know your own physical
condition, be sure and not try
to swim too far out. Be
prepared for swimming emer-
gencies. If you are going to
dive into the water be sure that
it is deep enough. A mistake in
judgment can mean death or a
serious injury. Be sure and
always wait at least one hour
after eating even a candy bar
before going swimming. Al-
ways check to see if the water
is too cold. When everything
has been checked then it is
time to have fun.
Then it must be remembered
that all hazards are not
natural. Some people in boats
never understand that they are
to be courteous toward swim-
mers. Then anyone learning
new skills should have a
competent coach. Never swim
alone in areas not supervised.
Then in strange water it is best
to swim parallel to the shore.
Every swimmer should know
several strokes so if they get
tired ihey can change to
another stroke. In ocean water
as well as lakes a person must
watch for drop-otfs. and must
stay away from piers and
jetties. Strong currents are
very dangerous and so are
underwater sand-bars. Ocean
water can be filled with
surprises Salt water and sun
make it easy to over expose
and this can be very painful.
If a person has been rescued
from water the first two
minutes are the most impor-
tant in saving his life. The first
thing to do is to be sure that the
mouth and throat are clean,
then give mouth to mouth
resuscitation
It can all be summed
up-Develop your swimming
ability; study your swimming
environment; plan swim acti-
vities, allow margin of safety
and prepare for swimming
emergencies. Don't be a
statistic-Be Water Wise.
Wife: "How can I cure
George from staying out so late
at night?" Neighbor: "The
next time he comes home late,
call out, 'Is that you Henry?"
See you New Southern Motor
Hotel Thursday Noon.
Early each morning, often
before daybreak, I arise, make
a cup of coffee, sit in my chair,
unencumbered with TV, and
just think. Because a recent
fall could have been dis-
astrous, my most recent
thought is if you really want to
know how wealthy you are,
count your blessings, not your
dollars.
One of my blessings, acquir-
ed in childhood, is a love for
books. The Rusk Thalian Club
recognizes such a blessing and
wants our young people to
share the joy of good books. We
now have received forty-five
books through their generosity.
The books range in grade
levels, but most are for the
middle elementary grades.
Seven of the books are from the
pen of Marquerite de Angeli.
Mrs. de Angeli lives on the
border of the Pennsylvania
German and Dutch communi-
ties. Here stories of the Amish,
Quakers and Pennsylvania
Dutch children are interesting
and informative. Upper ele-
mentary youth will enjoy
Marilyn Sach's Amy and
Laura." "Peter and Veron-
ica," "Amy Moves In," and
"Veronica Ganz." New refer-
ence material received for

Seeking data on the CAR-

Mary Etta Carter, daughter of
Isaac Monroe and Annie Laura
Martin Carter. The earliest
data I have is Meredith Carter,
my great grandfather. He is
said to have had two brothers,
one named Wyatt and one
Wade. The two brothers sailed
from New Orleans in 1845 for
the California Gold Rush and
one never was heard of
thereafter. Don't know which.
Meredith, according to family
tradition, was born in Miss-
issippi. I have no proof of this
statement.

MOMENTS FOR MEDITATION
Charles Dickens has one of his characters in David Copperfield - the Art ful Dodger - slate his
philosophy of life in one sentence. "Some people say ihe number '3' is lucky or the number '7' or '11.'
For me, the lucky number is number '1'." On the basis of that philosophy, the Dodger lives by stealing
to satisfy "number 1," himself.
Actually, there arc three lucky numbers One. two and three - God, others and then sell.
God must be number one in^jny life that is to be lived in true happiness. "Sack yr first the kingdom
ul Cud." Jesus said, "and all these things shall In' added unto you " The Psalmist said it another way
as we paraphrase the (irst Psalm "Happy IS the man whose deliqht is m thr /,nv of the turd. "
Others must be the second lucky number. Unselfish love of one's fellowman is a cornerstone in the
building ot a happy lite. The very spirit ot God Himself is mirrored in the habits of a man who truly
seeks the good of others in his life.
Self comes third always! You loo must make your way through this world. And you do t best
when God is supreme in your heart,
