Indiana State Fair Will Close Tonight ‘ No Chance To Set Attendance Record 1 INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Th® 1021 Indiana mat® fair closes tonight with, hopes of still reaching last year’s attendance mark, but without setting any new total 'attendance record. Pleasant weather in the 80s today encouraged ticket-takers in hopes of being handed some 54,000 stubs today. At the close of business Thursday night, the paid admissions had reached 1 539,212, which put the 1952 centennial record out of reach. Temperatures that hit 100 over the Labor Day week end cut heavily into attendance recorde, but Gilman C. Stewart, of Greene burg, president of the state fair board, opined: "Elven if we don't come up to last year’s gate, the show is a big success in every way." The paid' admission figures do not reveal the full story, since children under 12 and 1 other groups were admitted free. Today was designated as manufacturers' and watercraft day. One of its Mg events will deal with agriculture however, when late today, the auction of grand champion animals begins. On the block will go Bumper, owned by Ralph Gochenour, Lafayette, the grand champion steer. Last year the grand champion steer brought $5.25 a pound. The grand champion hog, owned by Bruce Brown, of Battle Ground, also is to be auctioned off. Price was 3" a pound to 1953. Despite the official close of the 102 d fair tonight, the Indiana state Ca irgrounde will be a busy place again Saturday and it won’t all be due to removal of displays. The third annual .championship motorcycle race is to be held Saturday afternoon in front of the grandstand. Saturday night in the Coliseum will bring familiar Hoosier sport — basketball to an early forefront. All-star squads selected from Indiana and Kentucky 1954 college graduates will battle each ofher fbr the second stanza of a two-part event. The All-Stars play tonight in Louisville. FRANKFURT, (INS) — Party membership in Communist Poland is no longer paying off. Reports say at least 90 percent of Poland's 1,227,000 card-carrying Communiat party members have been stripped of all privileges.

Christian Citizens lessen for September IS, 1954 CUPPOSE the dream of acme ° scientists comas true, and there is built a “space platform** buzzing around the earth, some thousand miles away, like a little moon? Suppose this thing io equipped with telescopic sights and atomic weap- pl ons? Such a thing *K' S W? — and it is now ||a " technically possi- Dw SS&'W ble—would give its J ' ■ f possessors power over the whole i earth such as no B conqueror has O ever ha A The I question then Dr. Foreman would be: What kind of people are running the thing? Do they really take an Interest to tho human race, or suppose they didn’t care, and started blasting away some fine morning just for fun? E. B. White's famous story, “The Morning of the Day They Did It,” imagines what would happen then. Learning to Belong That may not be true as prophecy, —a continent, a planet, blown out of existence because two men who do not care anything about it, or anything else, take a notion to blast it But it is quite true as a picture of human attitudes. Neither soldier nor senator nor common citizen will do anything to help a country or people for whom he feels no special attraction; and he may very easily injure or destroy it without much conscience. In war, this is a picture of how each nation looks at the enemy; in “peace,” it is a picture of the lack of social responsibility which plagues every country in the world. “Do what you like with it—it isn’t mine,” may possibly be all right when you are talking about your neighbor’s tomato-patch or automobile. But when you are talking about your neighbor’s nation, you are talking about something that is just as much yours as his? We all begin life as little egotists, eacn of us the center of his little highchair üßtorse. By degrees we learn to say ’’we~ abbtfrW fam- 4 Dy, our gang, maybe our town or ’ high school or lodge. But it takes church members a long timesome of them—to say “we” about the church, and even longer for even Christian citizens to say "we’’ about their country. Having no special feeling for it, they don’t care what happens to it, and may even take part in doing it harm, Lust because they have never learned to belong to it V • Christian Citizens Hooded The Apostle Paul was a citizen of a great empire, and he was proud of the fact tfe believed that every Christian, whether a citizen or not had certain duties of obedience, responsibility and support, toward the Roman Empire. If this was true tn those days, when tho government was non - Christian, — corrupt and oppressive, ' when Christians had for the most part no chance whatever to sharing the responsibilities of government \ how much more true it is in a democracy! With professed Christians numbering about half tho total population, with the vote to our hands and our representatives no farther oway than the nearest mall-box. we have even more reason and opportunity to make our presence and our ideas felt as Christian citizens, than could have been possible to the time of Paul and Nero. Any Christian who Is old enough to vote and educated enough to read and write, might well ask himself a few questions to see if he is much of a Christian. Quiz for Christian Citizens Do you know tho names of youz senator, your congressman? Did you vote tor them? Why? Do you know whether they are Christians by profession? Do you know how they have been voting on important questions? If so, do you find that they have been taking a Christian attitude as reflected to their votes? Have you ever taken the time and spent the money to write or wlrqjour congressman or senator to let him know how you and youz neighbors stand on Important mat- 1 ters? Have you felt that international affairs were somehow beyond your scope, or have you realized that bad relationships between nations have always brought death to happy homes? Do you realize that our nation, and others, have developed weapons of such terrible force that to use them can destroy the race of man? Do you have any Idea what your congressman and senator, your personal representatives. are thinking and doing? ‘ ‘ Nothing can make a man truly 1 great but beln| good—Henry.

Back To Church By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Summer U nearly gone. Many have been careless and very irregular during these months. Some have been absent all through this glorious season. Now is the time to renew your attendance and to renew your vows. Won't you face candidly this question, "What kind of a church would my church be, if every member were just like me?” How many would have been at Sunday School? How many times would there have been no worship service? How many mid-week services wguld have been held? How much money would have been contributed to the support of the Lord's work? How many people would have been invited to church services or to become Christians? How much work would have been done in the church—if every member had been just like me? We all need the church, you say. Yes, but the only way the church can contribute very much to your life is for you to give It a chance—by* attending regularly.-- \ Let’s' start September off right by being in a church service next Sunday, and every following Sunday. , . THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. —II Corinthians 9:7.
