At one time or another we’ve all heard or voiced complaints about the meager display of Old Glory on national holidays. More often than not the outcry is justified. Many folks are just too darned lazy to raise the Stars and Stripes. Others take advantage of the holiday to travel away from home and fear they will not return until after dark and in time to lower the flag. Many businesses are closed on legal holidays and it is an inconvenience for the proprietor to go down to the place of business to put up the flag in the morning and then return to lower it in the evening. ’Down in Salem, Arkansas, the Jaycees have come up with a wonderful solution to the problem — a solution so simple and logical that it has added a great deal to the community’s business district and to the Jaycees’ own image as community leaders. The Salem Jaycees furnish a flag to any business that requests one. The members put up the flag on holidays, take them down in the evening, and store them until the next holiday. The only exception is in the case of inclement weather. The Jaycee program includes 16 holidays a year; the total cost is a mere >10 per year per flag. The project reached its high point on Labor Day, when 48 flags were raised over Salem. Since then, six more businesses have requested the service. Now the Jaycees have undertaken to offer the same service to homeowners. They've set a goal of 75 flags for Thanksgiving Day. Can you imagine the impression the casual traveler got when he drove through Salem on Labor Day? But never mind the out-of-towner. Imagine the pride of the businessmen in Salem. » huntírs I USED SHOTGUNS | BARGAIN PRICES I A TRAIN IN YOUR LIFE Don’t Ever Leave Children Alone Ì SEEDS FROM VTHE SOWER J By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia A boy desired to draw a picture of the Lord, but gave up. “Why?” asked the teacher. “Because,” he answered, “I could not make Him beautiful enough.” One of the inspired writers of the Bible considered Him beautiful, for he said in Psalm 27:4, “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may . . . behold the beauty of the Lord." From any place from which the Lord is looked upon, “He is altogether lovely.” This is not true of any other person. “All other greatness has been marred by littleness,” obser ved one of old; “all other wis dom has been flawed by folly, all other goodness has been tainted by imperfection; Jesus Christ remains the only Being of Whom, without grossflattery.it could be asserted, ‘He is alto gether lovely’.” After surgery, one who was born blind, was led out of doors, and his eyes were uncovered. When he saw the earth and the sky for the first time, he cried, “Mother, why didn’t you tell me it was so beautiful?” “I tried, son,” she sobbed, “but you could not understand.” The Bible extols the beauty of the Lord, but man must eye it. To behold Him is to see His beauty and to believe in Him. There is life for a look at the Lord. It was reported in a news paper that a leading man in the city had fallen and brought dis grace to Christ and the church. He was described as “having been an active church mem ber.’’ That might have been his trouble. He was too active. He was working when he should have been waiting on the Lord and His Word. It is written in Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart.” Strange, is it not, that we will do anything but wait? We will walk, work, war, witness — anything but “wait on the Lord.” But let us remember that it is WINCHESTER AUTOMATIC MODEL 1400 | RE-ELECT REMINGTON AUTOMATIC .......o------- We Also Hove LARGE Stock Of JAKE' FISCHER NEW BROWNING, WINCHESTER, REMINGTON AND STEVENS COMING EVENT» h TODAY - 7:30 p.m. Job’s Daughters meeting at Masonic hall.

Strength belongs to the Lord. There is no despair too deep for Him to deliver from, no prob lem too profound for Him to penetrate, no sin too strong for Him to subdue. There is no limit to His strength, and His strength is at our disposal. But we must wait on Him, and then we will find that we can do everything there is to do with the help of the Lord Who gives us the strength and power. Yesterday I saw a sign that read, “Repairing done while you wait.” Are you in need of repairing? “Wait on the Lord, and He shall strengthen thine heart.” Pull Over To Curb When Fire Trucks Roll To Alarm When you hear a fire siren while you are driving your au tomobile, pull over to the curb and stop if fire fighting vehicles are coming your way, the Amer ican Insurance Association said today.
