JAMES RUSSELL of the Belton Journal wrote last week
EDITOR
About this time every year most people feel kindly toward the
world in general and their neighbors in particular In fact if the
attitude could persist 52 weeks in tho year and spread all over the
world our earthly worries would all be over But thats sheer idealism
You and I well know that after the spirit of the season has passed most
people will go back to being the stinkers they really are
COUNTRY EDITOR
TRANGELY ENOUGH there is more truth than poetry in this
observation by the Belton editor
It has been a wonderful Christmas season In Tulla Commercially
it probably ranks near to If not at the top Merchants and other townspeople
have entered into the spirit of the season This was true of the
Chamber of Commerce promotions Residents have been cooperative
in decorating their homes in preparing floats for the parade in coming
down town on Thursday nights A spirit of good will has seemed to
exist among the merchants as each almost without exception has cooperated
with the planners of the various events which began Dec 1 Special
thanks gorto the city employees who spent many hours installing the
lights and circuits and to Tulla police who successfully protected the
decorations from vandals
COUNTRY EDITOR
F COURSE the religious aspect of Christmas should be of great
est significance overshadowing Santa Claus and the commercial and
most churches have shouldered their responsibility by emphasizing the
spiritual by word and music
COUNTRY EDITOR
UT TOMORROW Christmas will be over Down will come the
lights and evergreen trees Gift wrapping supplies will be tucked
away until next Christmas Mall volume will return to normal
Will we also abandon our Christmas spirit as we face the problems
of 1959
It is to be hoped that the spirit of cooperation charity giving
and goodwill will continue long after the last discarded tree has been
burned and the last gaily colored light extinguished
COUNTRY EDITOR
ED EAKIN of the Quanah TribuneChief takes a somewhat
dim view of the New Year when he writes
The America of the Declaration of Independence Jeffersonian democracy
and the Monroe Doctrine is no more
In a recent report on national defense a suggestion that could
shake tho nation to its foundation was made The suggestion prepare
the U S to be the aggressor nation Be ready to strike first War
is Inevitable
Fortunately this Machievelllan policy was but a suggestion But
the inference is somber Indeed America the land of wide open spaces
nnd freedom loving people has become the victim of a shrinking world
We have become a young Rome flexing our powerful Legions but unsure
of that power Wo have tried to put Christian ethics in Roman armor
And have had faith in neither
War will come And because we are neither spiritually nor
psychologically ready millions will die That is the Achilles heel of
of democracy In spite of the atrocities of Communism despite their
broken promises and flagrant abuses of international rules of fair
play war with Russia and China would not be popular now Wo
predict that this nation will close its eyes to the inevitable until a new
Pearl Harbor shocks us into reality
It took a Korea to awaken this country from Its postWorld War II
lethargy Perhaps a Formosa or a Berlin or Lebanon will bo next To
many citizens war means scrap drives ration stamps crowded buses
Next time war may not be so kind
The Bible refers to wars and rumors of wars Jesus spoke of
bringing not peace but a sword What will Christmas 1959 offer Is
this nation is Quanah ready for the answer
COUNTRY EDITOR
NEW YEARS are filled with uncertainty And certainly 1959
ALL
is no exception We never know what a day will bring forth in
this age of international tension
The goodwill toward men wish which has become almost trite
may Indeed be an empty shell by this tlmo next year
Yet In all the uncertainty and gloom tkero is peace to be had not
necessarily freedom from military hostility but an inward peace which
is available to all who will avail themselves of it
Tho predictions of Editor Eakln are not fantastic by any means
however another paragraph might be added one of faith and hope
from the pen of Ira Stanphlll which removes the opproprlator from
tho slough of despondency
I dont know about tomorrow I Just live from day to day
I dont borrow from its sunshine for its skies may turn to gray
I dont worry oer the future for I know what Jesus said
And today Ill walk beside Him for He knows what is ahead
I dont know about tomorrow It may bring mo poverty
But the One who feeds tho sparrow is the One who stands by me
And tho path that be my portion may be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me and Im covered with His blood
Many things about tomorrow I dont seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand
