Sandy 40Vj. r W » THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK . ¿ Z Z Z X Z ’» ' ji” by KEN BATEMAN Lois of proud people strive for and glory in a stunning status symbol. Other people, equally proud, have a sad status. For some families, a status symbol is a heritage given in the cradle, released at the grave. A status symbol is an accomplishment. However, a moral stature linked to the material status is far more important. Surely all good people will agree moral stature should over­ shadow material status. A status symbol is a fragile possession. Bad judgment, bad breaks, bad behavior — even other people can crash a status symbol to smithereens. A moral stature is not so fragile. You can destroy it of course, but no one else can destroy it for you. A status symbol is a part of the world. Moral stature is a part of the person. This is another way of pointing out.
