State Convention Opened By Legion Robert Gates Slated As State Commander INDIANAPOLIS (UP) - The Indiana Department of the American Legion opened its 39th annual convention today with Robert E. Gates of Columbia City scheduled to be elected state commander, a job held by his father 26 years ago. , Gates, an attorney, will complete the first father-son team in the legion's Hoosier history to hold the top office. His father, former Gov. Ralph F. Gates, was elected in 1931. Officers will be elected Monday at the concluding sessions of the 4-day convention. Committee meetings opened the convention. Compared with his father's election, Gates had easy sailing. He was unopposed, barring last-min-ute rivalry from some unannounced candidate. His father had three opponents but defeated them and went on to become the secqnd of three Indiana legion past commanders to win election as governor of the State of Indiana About 10,000 persons, including delegates and visitors and members of the American Legion Auxiliary were due for the sessions. Gov. Joe Foss of South Dakota, Marine Corps air ace of World War 11, was scheduled to speak Saturday morning. The convention may produce a • resolution touching on the case of GI William Girard, who was turned over to the Japanese for trial on a manslaughter charge in a controversial executive decision

j upheld Thursday by the U.S. Supreme Court. A big parade downtown will feature the Saturday night program. Contests for color guards, firing squads and drum and bugle corps will be held Sunday. | Governor Handley and Mayor Phillip Bayt of Indianapolis were scheduled to welcome the delegates Saturday. * ' ' Adams Central Band Is Invited To Fair The Adams Central high school band is among 11 of northwestern Ohio, northeastern Indiana invited to take part in the band’ contest at the Mercer county fair August 14.

To Give Advice '" —i 1 "* ■ .jAe j■ I. Lesson ,for July 14, 1957 TO GIVE advice is easy; io give advice that people will take is not so easy. To give advice that people will be glad they took, is hardest of all. Besides, some people are harder customers for advice than other people. Old peopie sometimes are more stubborn than young ones; successful people may not listen so readily to criti- '*! ci s m as will ftgp, < those who have '•*' ; (ailed: and mem- WAk*i bers of one's own w , family may pay ; ■ less attention j® than anybody MH • Mi else. O'- Foreman Old Man lathra There is a story in the Old Testament of a very old man who gaveadvice to another man who was younger than he, but still an old- ’ man too. The younger man had been tremendously successful, much more so than his father-in-law had ever been. Yet it was the father-in-law who gave the advice- ®» His name was Jethro and he lived about as far off all the beaten’' tracks as a man could go. When the young Moses had fled from a murder charge, naturally he had gone as far from civilization as he could; and there he came across Jethro, priest and stock-raiser. Moses had married one of his daughters, a somewhat stupid girl, no match for the brilliant Moses. Now, forty-odd years later, with all the glory of the great escape from Egypt fresh upon him, Moses had brought his grumbling people (most ungrateful for their freedom!) out to this same remote region to get organized for their march to Canaan. All day long old Jethro watched his son-in-law, sitting in the midst of a swarming crowd, all talking at nnce, no I doubt, asking questions, demanding attention, complaining of grievances, accusing their neighbors, wanting Moses to settle all Bbtlr quarrels. It was too ior any man, even a Moses. Old Jethro gave him a simple piece of advice: Set up a graded system of judges. Don’t try all the cases yourself, only the hard ones. So Moses took the advice . . . and It worked so well that, forty years or so later, Moses seems to have believed that he himself had thought of the bright idea first. Character Why did Moses take the f advice of Jethro so quickly? Os course the main reason, no doubt, was that having lived with Jethro for nearly forty years, Moses had listened to the old man before and knew he did not talk nonsense. But what was it that made Jethro worth listening to? To put it into terms of our own problems: What do I need, to get my own advict taken by other people? How can I learn to give advice that people will follow and like? The first thing needed, in order to give advice wisely, is character. Jethro was a man of God. Possibly his idea of God was not up to the Christian standard, perhaps not even up to that of Moses. But the God he knew, he revered and served. Then tie was not only religious, he was practical. He knew what would work and what-wouM not. A man of deep faith and conviction, who is also solidly practical, is the best kind of counselor, and people know it. Acquaintance Another thing: Jethro and Moses had lived side by side for forty years. Jethro knew Moses like a book, he knew his ability and bis limitations. Advice is not *best given by total strangers. Sometimes people in trouble will appeal to complete strangers for advice, but that is only because they don’t like to tell some local man (or woman) the whole truth. In giving advice, the counselor needs to know as much as possible about the whole background of the person he is advising. Concern More than acquaintance is need- . ed, to be a welcomed adviser. The aged Jethro could see that Moses . was wearing down, under the impossible burdens he was trying to carry. If Jethro had not cared, he would hardly have offered advice. 1 But he did eare; and Moses knew - it. Advice is not best when served cold. A good counselor advises from the heart not less than from the head. With the head, one can analyze a situation; but only with the heart can the adviser put himself in the place of the one he helps, Visitors are always welcome to the services of the church. Give the Lord God first preference in worship as well as in all of life. j
