Any future accomplishments must stand on the same ground. We can't hope to do anything significantly new un less we work toward high purposes — unless we keep a sound balance between the material and the moral. “ At a time when the whole idea at a free society is being attacked by selfish interests in many parts of the world, it is especially im- | portant that we are ourselves ■ clearly so that we can pass judge- j ment on the plans of those ama- j teur mechanics who want to take our social and economic machine apart— and who might leave us by the side of the road with some im portant gears missing.

Curley Lawson's cousin from back last and a few of us got talking ,hen he was here visiting, and I ouldn’t help noticing how different e said things. For instance, he said, “ Lifting hat 200-pound bag of cement al- nost killed me.” “ You mean sack f cement?” asks Curley. (That’s he way we’d say it.) “ No,” inter- upts young Elliott who'd spent a ot of time down South, “He means i ‘poke ot see-ment.’ ” It was good for a chuckle, any- vay.
