A person likes to feel free and happy, to have a clear conscience. But do you realize how easily this feeling can be ruined, destroyed? W rong, ill-directed accusations and suspicious actions are very injurious to an individual’s pride and feelings. T h at terrible feeling of not being trusted often leaves a being dejected, his feelings h u rt to the point of rebellion and he becomes possessed w ith th at uncontrolable feeling for revenge, w ith no heed paid to what th e results may be. A suspicious look will do much to shadow and m ar a person’s outlook on Life. No longer will things appear carefree and sunny. Of course a great deal depends on the type of character affected. If the person is easily h u rt the affect will be harder but if he is the kind that “ can take it” w ith a smile, he can get along a g re a t. deal better. But still that feeling of not being trusted, of being suspected, of being m isunderstood, lingers. It would be an easier life to live if more people would be more understanding. One should understand a person before ju d g in g and casting m istrust upon him. M any actions are done in innocence and are not what they may be judged to be. —M arjorie W ynne Once again the year rolls around to the tim e when almost everyone catches the so called disease of “ spring fev er.” One is possessed w ith the desire to play- hooky from school or work—to stroll along country lanes, or while away the pleasant hours in the sun and at many other activities that are usually done only on week-ends. T his is well and good and quite a natural feeling. But instead of gettin g ideas into our heads th at we may not profit by, let us consider the fact th a t there are only a few weeks more of school and we should try to study harder than ever. Tim e will fly by so rapidly th at it will n o t( be noticed. T hen w hen vacation begins, we can get “ spring fever” and more “ spring fever.” —V erna R iggs Safe driving is one of the most im portant objects in a person’s life today, because there are so m any vehicles owned and operated by people. W hy are there so many accidents happening everyday? T he simple reason is that drivers of vehicles are careless and thoughtless in their driving, and that ped estrians are not careful where and when they walk. An automobile driver should not only know the rules and regulations of driving but he should put them into practice, so as to prevent any accident which would cause death or injury to him self, or th e pedestrian. So many hundreds of lives m ight have been saved if drivers had taken more consideration for other people than themselves. A fter all a hum an life is w orth more than being on tim e at the office or on tim e at any other job. Safe driving demands kindness, thoughtfulness and courtesy. A driver who has a k ind word and is courteous to his associates is cultivating a very pleasant atm osphere which will be noticed and adm ired by everyone. —F lorence B ooth PROTESTANT GROUP ENTERTAIN PORTLAND AND SALEM AUDIENCES Mrs. K itzm iller and several of her Protestant students went to Portland, Sunday, February 27, to take part in the evening service at the Clinton K elly Methodist Church.
