"Pride commeth before a down
fall” . Maby so but we are getting
sort of "chesty" over at our Com
munity Church. The faithful old
“Saints” may be the backbone of
a chuch but nevertheless a group of
young people is always the life of
a church. A dead church has an
awful time trying to stand upon
its backbone.
We now have a young peoples
group, under the leadership of Shir
ley Price, that is realy going places.
There is a larger group of young
people for their 7:00 oclock Sun
day evening meetings now than we
used to have for the entire preach
ing services.
Say can anyone begin to notice
a change in things? I got up this
morning before the sun did for
once. The atmosphere seems to
smell different. All spring its been
planting, planting, planting. We
plant in faith and with hope. Hopes
that the great giver of all good
gifts will be very charitable with
us this year.
By the way many of us dont
realize what the original word “cha
rity” meant. To Webster, charity
means to give to the poor, needy or
helpless. "Relief” . My Bible gives
it different. “Love” . Paul says "Tho
I sell all that I have and give to
the poor," "Tho I give my body to
toe burned, and have not "oharlty”
it profiteth me nothing.” Charity
is kind, patient, long suffering—
Oh! Lets skip it. That kind of stuff
is hard even on some "Backbones".
Getting back to the early morn
ing atmosphere. Its beginning to
smell of harvest. The early birds
are digging their spuds now. Some
farmers second cutting of hay is
beginning to blossom, most grain
fields are turning golden.
"Heap high the farmers wintery

la st year In our fair little city
the elevator and all other available
storage space became filled up be
fore the grain crop was all hauled
in. This year there will be much
more grain than last year. Guess
we will Just "Heap” it high. The
Ontario elevator has been sacking
and plleing it out in a huge pile
for several years. They don't suffer
any great loss. In a few days now
combines will be buzzing all ar
ound us. The acreage of grain isn't
what it used to be back in '38 and
'39 but now instead of getting an
average of around 15 or 20 bu. per
acre we roll out crops like 60 bu.
of Wheat and 80 bu. of barley. We
still have the same elevator we
had then and we now have the
"car shortage” too.
"And the desert shall bloom like
a rose”.
These hundreds of little groups
of fruit trees grouped ever-so-far
apart all over here where a dozen
years ago was a desert of sage
brush. To see them bending over
with heaps of peaches, apricots and
what not. And all the fields grin
ning with a bountiful prospect for
all kinds of crops. This district is
going to turn off an unheard of
sugar crop this year. The farmers
learned something about weeds last
year. Many of them had to take
the mower and cut the weeds be
fore they coud harvest their beets
last year. Most farmers has their
beets clean this year.
If you let the weeds get a good
toe-hold they will sure grow. This
soil will sure grow em. A neighbor
here sort of got slipped up on. He
said it cost him (35 per acre to
get his beets hoed but they are
