WE'RE CONFUSED
Ever since we stepped foot in Port St. Jo
the hue and cry from every point has been
"build playgrounds for our children" "Don't le
our children roam the streets, provide them wit]
playgrounds and recreational facilities". Every
body, but everybody echoed this sentiment. A
it is with all things, playgrounds, unfortunately:
cost money lots of money. Committees form
ed to carry on recreation programs throughout
the summer months have invariably been mel
after a request for money, with the age-old song
"Why that's going to cost too much. We're jus
ordinary folks, we can't pay that for play super
vision and facilities". And so project after pro
ject has died on its feet. But still the hue and
cry is for playgrounds not just ordinary play
grounds but first class playgrounds and th
one provision is that it must not cost anybody
a penny except maybe somebody else.
Of course a playground of this kind mus
come from somebody like Santa Claus, or may
be put another touch on the duPont's, who hav
been "donated" to death for any and every pr
ject that comes 'along here. The citizens jus
cannot raise it for themselves. We sometime
wonder what other towns do for their civ
development money.
But here we're getting off the track again'
We started out about playgrounds and the like
lihood of the town getting a free one or

ited use of.

fle board court, sandboxes, swings, etc., over

Avenue and Thirteenth Street. It was going to
Cost the Rotarians around $2,000.00, which they
didn't happen to have right now, besides the
cost of the lot which they purchased some few
years ago for a scout hut. Upon the develop-
ment of Woodward Avenue, the scout hut was
moved so as not to hurt the value of the homes'
going up moved the hut at Rotary expense off
their own lot to help somebody else and the
people were very appreciative as they should be.
Now the Rotary Club wants to help the children
of these and other children about the town by
constructing a playground.
But some of the good citizens along Wood-
ward Avenue don't want the playground on
their street. "We want playgrounds, but put
Them in somebody else's yard". "We want play-
grounds, but we just don't feel like plunking
e down the money for them."
n' A situation like this leaves us confused about
t the civic-mindedness of our citizens, how about
h you?

All this provided the backdrop against which
Majority Leader William F. Knowland sounded
off before the Senate against the "inertia" of the
free nations, the apparent sell-out of France to
the Reds in Indo-China that "is bound to en-
courage further Communist adventures in Asia
or elsewhere".
The time had come, Senator, Knowland told
his colleagues, for that "agonizing reappraisal"


said the Senator, he would resign his post as
Republican floor-leader if the UN should admit
Red China this fall. This wound enable him
to devote himself to the job of getting the United
States out of the UN.

growth as Christians we have cer-.
tain goals set before us.
First, to develop from spiritual
infancy to spiritual maturity and
to express such maturity in our
relationship to others.
Second, to contribute as a mem-
ber of the body of Christ of that
sacred body, just as each member
of the human body contributes to
the well-being of the whole.
Third, to grow in grace and in
the knowledge of Christ, constantly
adding Christian virtues to our
faith.
Fourth, above all to manifest in
our daily relationships that love'
which is "the bond of perfectness".
Hopfner says: "Four things are nec-
essary to constitute a Christian.
Faith mkkes a Christian; life proves
a Christian; trials confirm a Chris*
tian; and death crowns a Christian.
Are we growing as Christians, in.
wisdom stature and obedience to
the will of God for our life.

BOARD APPROVES
(Continued from -page 1)
The Court House and Jail Inter-
est and Sinking Fund remained the
same as last year, $5,450. This item
will be abolished from the County
budget next fiscal year as after
that time the County Courthouse
will be paid for.
With the increase in money need-
ed by the County for operations it
is expected that the tax rate can
be reduced by way of extra valua-
tion coming on the books for the
coming year in the amount of
nearly a million dollars.

TOO LATE
TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY


Don't worry if your town is small,
i' it isn't growing as rapidly as
some neighboring community, if
new industries are passing it by.
Bigness isn't necessarily a bles-
sing. When a small town spreads
out and becomes a metropolitan
city a lot of things happen to it
that detract from the joy of living.
It loses its charm, its warmth and
its neighborly spirit.
Many tributes have been written
to the small town but one of the
best that has come to my attention
was published recently in the Flor-
ida Municipal Record. It was taken
from the Surface Creek News, pub-
lished at Cedaredge, Colorado. It
sums up the advantages of the
small town so clearly and forcefully
that I thought you would enjoy
reading it. Here it is:
"A small town is where every-
body knows your business and yet
they will make it their business if
anyone in the community needs
help. It is where folks will talk
about you and then talk for you
when the chips are down. It is
where there has to be a fire to get
anyone on the streets after 9 p.m.,
and yet there will be square dancing
until two o'clock in the morning
and not depend on hot music and
cold drinks to keep up friendly
spirits.
"In a small town there is a com-
mon bond during disaster and a
common thankfulness for rain, or
a beautiful day, or a new fire hy-
drant. There is little thought paid
to social position, and the judging
of a man is done on his own values
-the deep values.
"It is where a person speaks to
a friend as many times as he sees
him during the day, not worrying
over the social graces as to whe-
ther they have already greeted
each other previously.. It is where
a neighbor's hurt becomes your
hurt.
"The freedom and dignity of the
individual is practical in a small
town without a lot of paid coaching
from experts who think they know
the minds of men. A man expects
to earn what he gets and to get
what he earns.
"A stranger becomes the focus
of honest curiosity and the return-
ing native always seems to have
added a little glamour. The deeds
of the town and its men often shine
brighter in far away places. The
words of a stranger often seem
like important words.
"A small town is where the lack

of convention allows for more time
to live well and think clearly. The
veneer of fatuous arguments is a
thin shell which comes closer to
allowing the reality of things to
show -through. The- problems of
the people are concerned with na-
ture and close association with each
other-with things as they are.
"This, in part, is a small town
and the people who live in it. It is
closer to the concepts of freedom,
individual initiative and self reali-
zation than any other segment of
land except the remote rural'. It is
the balance wheel in our social or-
der."
While statistics that show stead-
ily increasing population figures
and greater volume o building per-
mits may be pleasing to read, they
indicate that your small town is
moving away from a lot of things
with which it is blessed today.
Remember that majestic sky
lines bring with them overcrowd-
ing, smoke, smog, machine politics,
crime, juvenile delinquency, slums,
greed, selfishness and countless
other disadvantages.
The small town while only a tiny
dot on the map, is closer to things
worthwhile than is any big city.
God loves the small towns, that's
why he made so many of them.
