To a Friend
By Th» Old Man on the Hill
I must be blessed by providence
For nothing I could do
Would merit such a wonderous
gift
As a friend like you.
I do not need the rainbow's gold.
For when you are with me
I have all that life may hold.
Just in your company.
My heart is filled with happiness,
My dreams have a U c o me true.
I would not trade the rainbow’s
end
For just one hour with you.
You have smoothed the sunset
trail
My days are tree from care,
But heaven, I know, will lonely
be
If you are not there.
This is now my earnest prayer.
That I may worthy be
Of all the faith, the peace and
joy
That you have brought to me.
God, perhaps, but no one else
Could read my heart anew,
And know the song, the glad-
ness there
Just hprausp nf vnu

The circumference of the world
is the circle of neighborliness;
and our love should be as bound,
less as the sea, overleaping even
the most bitter racial prejudice.

Charity is quite as rare as wis­

and endurance.

We must keep the poison of
intolerance out of our minds and
hearts. We must put on guard
our best and kindliest judge­
ments and our generous and con­
siderate feelings.

GEMS OF THOUGHT

I’ve been hearing about Davy
Crockett from a number of folks
lately. One is a Texas fighting
man and literary gent whose
name is Maurice Crain and who
at present is ministering to the
heathen in New York. He writes
me thissaway:
“Texas brag derives straight
from Davy Crockett. He is the
spiritual father of the state. The
half humorous, half serious ex­
aggeration of his Tennessee hunt­
ing stories was recognizable
Texas brag even before it got
to Texas. And the living legend
influenced the history of nations.
“A generation of Tennesseans
followed Davy Crockett to Texas
and took the state away from the
Mexicans and the Comanches.
They thought of themselves as
quite a bit more than life sized,
and still do. I’ll die before I’ll
run, is the reality behind the
brag.
“Ever hear the story of the
young Tennesseean on his i way
to Texas who was asked where he
was headed, and said back. On
my way to Texas to fight fuh my
rights.”
Congressman Crockett
Bro. Cain also wrote to wondst
what my big interest in Davy
Crockett can be. Well, I am a
Whig. Davy Crockett was a
Whig. Abraham Lincoln was a
Whig. Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster were Whigs, So why
do people look at me like that
when I am asked my politics
and I say I am a Whig?
I know just on? other simon-
pure Whig, I must confess—un­
less Stanley Horn is one. My
admitted fellow Whig is Howard
Brier, who runs the Keep Green
program in Washington State.
The next nearest thing to a Whig
is a James G. Blaine, Republican.
Stewart H. Holbrook is the only
living one I know.
It is no bother being a Whig.
There is no party organization.
Most of all, there is no platform.
With Whigs you vote for th«’
man! A Whig candidate stands
on his own reputation, record and
responsibility, suh? A Whig hides
behind no pusillanimous plat­
form!
That was why Davy Crockett
of Tennessee, growing up with
ambition to go to Congress, saw
to it first that he became a man
among men, a mighty hunter,
powerful in all other ways. Next
he had his life story published.
Then he campaigned, not on any
fool platform, but just on what a
man he was. And so he was
elected.
The Great Speech
VERNONIA, ORE.2
Sam's farm with the scarifying
harrow of rascality until it is
as gray as a stone fence, as bar­
ren as barked clay, and as pooi
as a turkey fed on gravel stones!
To conclude, Mr. Speaker, the
country can no more go ahead
under such conditions than a fried
eel can swim upon the steam of
a tea kettle, Mr. Speaker, the
country calls on Crockett in its
distress. And here I stand. . . "
There indeed was a man. There
was the true Whig. But they
wouldn’t hear'him. They would­
n’t let him try to save the United
States. So he went Southwest
to a bigger job, one so big he
died of it. He saved Texas.
When the country slid into the
threat of economic ruin in 1837 Paul Weaver Feted on
Davy Crockett made his greatest Birthday June 3
speech in Congress. Did he offer
TREHARNE — Mrs. Thelma
a platform of reform? Not much. Weaver gave a birthday party
“I move,” orated Congressman for son, Paul Lin, Sunday, June
Crockett, that the only way to 3 at their home. hoseT present
save the country is for the whole to help him celebrate were: Mr.
nest of your political weasels to and Mrs. Lin Reynolds and son,
Mike; Mr. and Mrs. Don Reyn­
cut stick home instantly, and olds and daughter, Cathy; Mr.
then some, leaving it to me to and Mrs. Robert Reynolds and
work Uncle Sam’s farm, so that son, Earl; Mr .and Mrs. Lloyd

Hank Harders; Mr. Harders and
