Ol'O YADIS
In other words. Where Are We Gom*;? Sometimes you are
inclined to admire the fellow \v ith .i lot of confidence, who can
give you the ri^ht answer for everything. But we'd say that
some questions need to be asked; and the> need to be answered—
correctly. And no place is more applicable to a discussion of the
questions than in the editorials of our newspapers. These great
issues are not going to be avoided in the editorials of this paper;
although oui solutions u 11 net be guaranteed. We will guaran-
tee that the discussions will be productive of thought. And the
op« nin.i. of the diseu>stons might cause thinking ir. other quarters
that will be clearer and straighter than ours. Sometimes we
think that straight thinking is somewhat of a rarity. The reason
is that thi personal equation entors into all the discussions. Too
mam of us consider all projects in the light of how they affect
us. If they are favorable to us: then they are bound to be good
for the country as a whole.
Two weeks ago a discussion in this column had to do with
the matter of education. Then last week, we dabbled a little
in finance. Perhaps now the subject of good health should be
taken up. as being a project that concerns everybody. Some
reasons occur to u> why this subject will not be treated editor-
ially. People have too many different ideas on the subject,
includ.ng the doctors themselves. And if the right answers
should be given by this department on the rules for good health,
nobody would believe them, nor pay any attention to them
Which indeed might be the case with tne rest of the subjects.
For instance, after considering the question of where we are
going it is likely that everybody will keep on going along the
came path he is following now Still, that might not keep our
skirts clear. If there are warnings that need to be given, then
this agency will not be responsible when the warnings are ig-
nored. even if they should be acknowledged to be correct.
Tne* proper sense of values would be a requisite in any ef-
fectiveness of the present discussion. And a distorted sense of
people do admit the values; but. as was said above, the princi-
ples are not carried out. In what way, >ou'll ask. Thousands
of ways; and because we really do not believe in the spiritual
values we profess Because we allow these values to be over-
thrown by considerations of self interest. The situation may
not be getting worse we hope. Tlu* nation still officially
believes in God; and that should count for something m the
threat of Russian domination of the world. With this much ad-
mitted. the question then simmers down to just how far we will
be ready to go in carrying out our spiritual values. There are
plenty of things to work on — provided we have a mind to
work. And we'd better have that kind of mind. That young
sophomore referred to said there are signs of decay in our be-
loved country. A sort of poison eating at the values of the na-
tion This process could be one of progression; unless there
should be counter action. A host of doctors are striving to help
preserve our physical values, and aided by nurse's Our minis-
ters are putting up a valiant fight for the preservation of the
spiritual values. Somebody had better try to help hold up the
preacher's hands.
PRICE OK SUCCESS IS HIGH
The price of success generally runs high.
Evangelist Billy Graham is paying for his success with head-
ache's and failing eyesight. "Terrific emotional tension," was
the doctor's explanation of the trouble.
Senator Lyndon B Johnson and President Eisenhower paid
for the tension and the physical burden their success had im-
posed on their bodies with heait attacks. Now both men must
be on guard against again going too far.
The laborer envies the rich man, but more rich men die
young.
Occasionally there is a ch> ap road to success, but usually
the cost is high in ulcers, hypertension and early funeral rites.
The rate of heart failures continues to rise, possibly along with
the increasmg numbei of people who have "made good."
All of which might indicate that the write r fears success,
which isn't the case at all. We have just been reading statistics
and doing a little thinking, which leads us to thi conclusion that
folks who live in small communities, such as Georgetown, Flor-
ence and Liberty Hill, may never be nationally famous, or mil-
lionaires. but have their compensations, too. They can be use-
ful to themselves and to .their families longer, they can go fish-
ing more often, they can sleep at night, they can live normal and
happy lives.
Some of us as. Mr. Burns pointed out. take the high road
and others take the low road, and sometimes the fellow on the
low road runs the best race. — The Williamson County Sun.

There were about 70(1 head of
cattle sold Friday afternoon at the
livestock sales burn It was a
bluster} day for u sule, but the
burn didn't blow down, and the
sale went right on The little dash
of rain might have been encourag-
ing
George Shawver reports that
prices were up from the week be-
fore, by some> SO cents to $100
across the board This included
all kinds, grades t»nd weights; and
a general assortment of cattle had
been brought in for the sale.
Buyers came from as far away
as Beaumont, and a buyer from
that place bought a load of cattle
And practically all of the cattle
Were sold to outside interests, and
shlppe'd to other points, where
the range is better than here
The prices paid were the high-
est for some time, but Mr Shaw-
ver expresses some uneuiineis
country It Is the time of year for
many of them to be sold; but
whenever we finally have grass
lure, the stockmen may find It
embarrassing to secure the stuff
for restocking their range's
