Every effort should be made to eliminate pools of stagnate water which occur during the wet periods that have been the rule this summer. Not only are these places a threat to youngsters but they serve as breeding spots for flies and mosquitoes, too, the frogs and toads attract snakes and birds in large numbers. So often it is the little thing which can do so much to improve a community. O Oi— You lucky people who will be leaving on vacation in the near future should observe every precaution both on the road as well as at your destination. Too, this is the season for many convoys of reservists so some of the main highways will be crowded with jeeps and trucks during July and August. A first-aid kit may come in handy for there are always opportunities to put them to good use. Enjoy the vacations to their fullest but excercise the utmost in precaution. O O According to a letter from E. Ross Adair, M.C. there is a large carry-over in the pipeline for foreign aid. In fact, this amounts to a total of $8.2 billions and the minority report from the House Foreign Affairs committee indi- , cates that more care should be exercised “against undertaking new programs without weighing the necessity for such a course." To which most of us would add our approval. 0 0 Plans for the annual 4-H fair have been in the making for as long time and the fair itself will open next week. These events are of paramount importance to Adams county youth as well as adults who help guide the affair. All types of exhibits make this an event worthy of a visit. Much credit is due the young men and women who look forward to series of contests and a healthy spirit of competition produces a show that is helpful to any agricultural community.

Certain relatives and friends of mine persist in kissing me on the mouth when greeting me. Without seeming rude, would it be proper for me to turn my cheek to them? A.

If a girl becomes engaged to a young man who is about to enter the servicer and their wedding date is very uncertain, is It proper to make formal announcement of the engagement? A. Under the circumstances, this is perfectly all right. Q. Should an unmarried woman always include the prefix “Miss” cm her calling cards, and when signing a business letter? A.

CHAPTER 15 f \Y/HEN Nela Mathers was W about to leave she leaned forward on her hprse, her gray i eyes meeting mine. “Mr. Beeson, ' we don’t want to fight with you. Will you come to see us, please, i Just as soon as we’re settled?" 1 “I expect to,” 1 said. “You told 1 me your father had spoken of me. i What did he say?" For the first time she seemed embarrassed. “He said you were a strong-minded young man who ■ was so certain you were right that you would make mistakes." The smile that touched her lips lighted her entire face. “We’re strong-minded too, my father and I, but we still want to be friends." I shook my head at her. “Not if you’re going to plow our grass under. No people can be friends if one is determined to destroy the other." "We're not going to destroy you," she said sharply. "Mrs. Pardee understands. All we want is a place to live. That will be on the other side of the valley. It . won’t concern you in the least.” “It will concern me because you’ll fail,” I said. "This isn’t farming country and it never will be. After you fail, some of your people will spread out They’ll want our water and our land, but if they try to take it I’ll try to kill them and they’ll try to kill me." Nela looked at Sarah. “Dad’s right You can’t argue with him. Good day. Mrs. Pardee." She rode away, back down the road toward Carlton. Watching her, 1 felt a stirring of interest I had never felt for another woman. I sensed that she possessed the tough-fibered courage a person needed to conquer this country and live here. She would survive, I thought, when the rest had failed and moved on. I was surprised to find myself regretting that destiny had rigged the game so that she was on the other side of the fence and we could never be friends. “Roll me back into the house, Will,” Sarah said. 1 had never heard her voice tremble so with emotion. When 1 looked at her, I saw she was crying. 1 wheeled her across the yard and up the ramp into the house. "Will,” nhe whispered, "put me on the couch.* 1 lifted her from the wheel chair, her hands clutching me as it afraid 1 would let her fall When 1 placed her on the couch she gripped my arm and pulled me down beside her. She wasn’t crying now." She stared at me for a long moment, and then ’ said: “It would be no use to remind you what I’ve done for you. You could balance it all off with things you’ve done for me. That's fair enough. But I thought we understood each other. I tried to make it clear because I didn’t want this to happen.” She swallowed. “Why did you do It, Will?”

I couian t sit tnere oesiae her. 1 pulled loose from her grip and began walking around the room, my heart pounding, my throat tightening so 1 couldn’t swallow. 1 came back to her. I had to say something, had to make her understand; but the words wouldn’t come. I wiped my hand across my face, and it came away web with sweat * ••We should have talked about it before," Sarah said, “but I thought rd told you enough.

They were al) in the open, six of them. 1 think Joe would have done it, but I couldn’t" “Oh. Will, I’m glad of that! But why did you—" “Listen, Sarah." I sat down beside her again and took ner hands. “I know what you've done for me. Whatever I’ve done for you will never come within a mile of balancing what 1 owe you. I did what I did because I owe you so much, and because I’ve got a home 1 don’t want to lose. Mathers is wrong. They’re all wrong. You know that, Sarah. You know what will happen when they try to farm the land.” “But it’s their right to try, Will,” she said. “We can’t go on keeping people out of the valley. That was what Joe did, and it’s what you’re trying to do. Can’t you see how wrong it is? They're here. Maybe John Mathers will tail, and maybe the dream he has will turn into a nightmare, but they've got the right to try.” 1 was silent. She was right, according to her convictions, but 1 was right, too, according to mine, and what could you do about a situation like that? Here was one of the differences between Joe Pardee and me. He would never have admitted that Sarah was right by any standard. Finally 1 said: "1 came back this morning because I knew how you would take it, and I don’t have enough courage to fight you about It I agreed that you could make the big decisions. Well, you’ve made this one." She smiled faintly. "The day will come when you’ll thank me for it because you will have nothing to regret" I couldn’t agree to that, of cotirse, but I let it go. “I don't want to hurt you—not ever—but 1 won’t let them have our grass. If they come, I’ll kill them." Her voice was very low when sheaaid, “1 couldn’t have stood it it you had killed John Mathers or some of his men." “I may have to kill some of them yet” 1 said, "If they try to steal our grass." “But they won’t!” she cried. “Tliey’re going to buy Anchor from Alec Dodson.” “They’re loco," I said. "Alec won’t sell.”

Now he would never walk in the footsteps of Joe Pardee, and that was what he had wanted above ail other things.

Usually Transient Questions Lasting Crusade Benefits EDFTOB*B NOTE: Author of this week’s column is editor of the Christian Century magaalne, sn old and respected organ .Which circulates widely among clergymen of all major Protestant denominattons- Be raises .questions about the lasting benefits of crusading techniques like 'Billy Graham's and finds that in the past mass conversions have failed to take held. By DB. HAEODL E. FEY Written For The United Press Each Saturday evening during his New York Crusade the nation has seen hundreds of televised men and women moving to the front of Madison Square Garden as evangelist Billy Graham has pleaded with them to “accept Christ." Forty years ago Billy Sunday urged New Yorkers to “hit the sawdust trail.” and they came in even larger numbers. But the effects of the Billy Sunday meetings have long ago disappeared, and it seems likely the Billy Graham revival may have a similar transiency. Mass - produced conversions tail to endure the test* of time. , On the other hand, the onc-by-ont conversions which take place through the churches amount to more than three millions each year, renewing a Christian community of nearly 100 million each generation, without fanfare or excitement and with a minimum of loss and disillusionment. Believes In Conversion Right off I must make it clear that my skepticism concerning the value of mass evangelism does not mean I am skeptical concerning the importance of religious conversion. Real conversion is not only possible: it takes place every day and under the right circumstances it is greatly to be deConversion can bring a radical and wholesome change to life. A person who has been consciously alien, despairing, guilty, confused as to his goals and at odds with the universe, with society and with himself, can be changed He or she can come to know reconciliation with God, with other people. with self. Despair can be transformed to confidence, guilt to forgiveness, the cross purposes of uncertain goals to the integrity of one aim. The personality, hitherto utterly alone. , takes on a new character as it becomes part of the church, the living society

I could do gomethir g about this. Sarah sat in her wheel chair behind me. Dogbone and Curly King were standing beside the corral gate. Now, apparently realizing what was happening, they started toward us. Suddenly 1 felt good. I hated Gene Dillingham. I had every reason to hate him. A flash of memory reminded me of a dozen indignities I had suffered at his hands. Gene Dillingham had reason to hate me, too. He was probably jealous of me as he had been jealous of everyone who had meant anything to Joe Pardee. But it must have been far worse after Joe's death when Sarah had made me foreman and halfowner of the ranch. He was not a man who could swallow his pride, so he had waited, hoping he would have the satisfaction of seeing me fail. But I hadn't, and now this was all that was left We were twenty feet apart when he ran toward me. I stopped, my fists cocked in front of my face. He started a blow from his knees, but missed and swung off balance. I caught him squarely on the point of his jaw and knocked him flat on his back. After that I was a little crazy. Landing the first blow gave me an advantage, and I could not afford to let up. Dillingham would kill me if he could, or break an arm, or gouge my eyes out. Because I couldn’t let any of those things happen, I was an animal, fighting like an animal, without rules, without any sense of sportsmanship or decency. I wanted to live. Dillingham got to his hands and knees, a little dazed. I kicked him in the face, knocking his head up, and he fell sideways. I jumped on him, my knees thudding Into his belly, and I hit him with my fists, anywhere I could and'as often as I could, driven by the knowledge that he was bigger than I was, and stronger, and that I , had to win now if I won at all. I hurt him at the start, and slowed him down. Even then, he came close Co finishing me. He got his arms around me and squeezed, smothering my blows so that they had no authority. I thought that my lungs would explode and that he was going to break every rib in my body. from a long way off I heard

which hails as its highest designation the title “Body of Christ** Clearly it is of overwhelming importance that a person who has been at odds with himself and the universe can be so reconciled with God, his fellows and his own soul. This change is conversion. It can usually take place without a wracking emotional upheaval, but it involves the emotions since they are part of the totality of personality. But it can never take place without the presence and help of the church at various stages. Urges Church Association Billy Graham is right in insisting that every person must make his own decision abotlt Christ, must surrender his life to God. But experience has repeatedly shown that the person who "accepts Christ" in* such circumstances as those seen in Madison Square Garden is very likely to lose his way. He may transiently know what it means to be converted, but if he fails to become integrally identified with other Christians in a church, the experience win wither. He needs guidance immediately into an understanding of the good news which runs far deeper than that preached by the mass evangelist, whose sole concern is to present only that portion of the gospel which bears on "decisions for Christ ” The new Christian needs more help than ordinarily he knows to “grow in grace." He is fortunate if he is led into the experience of conversion ‘by the pastor or members of a church whose individual counsel and prayers guide each step.

His grip went slack, just for a moment, but long enough for me to break loose. 1 rose to my feet and backed away, trying to get my breathHe'd have had me If he’d-held on another ten seconds, and I think he knew it He was on his feet, at once, spat out a mouthful of blood, and rushed me. 1 kept backing up, still laboring tor breath, but it seemed a long time before I got it During that time 1 did nothing except duck and block his blows if I could, and keep going back. He ■ got one through to the side of my face and I went down, but I was up again before he could fall ou me. 1 was tired and sick and hurt, and for several tortured seconds I wasn’t sure 1 could stay on my feet. But he was hurt too. Blood flowed from his battered nose in a steady stream. Still he kept pushing and I kept retreating. I took no chances until I had my wind back. That was where he made his mistake. He thought I was hurt worse than 1 was. I reversed my tactics, suddenly and without warning, and stood my ground. I hit him solidly on the side of the head, a little too high to flatten him; I nailed him in the stomach with my left I smashed through his guard to his face again and knocked him back on his heels, but only for a moment: then he had his balanceand we stood that way. swinging as hard as we could, getting hit in order to hit. He slammed a right to my jaw that almost finished me. If he had landed it in the first of the fight, he’d have knocked me cold, but now much of the steam was gone from his punches. Still, it started the ground to spinning and I went back again, intent only on staying on my feet Then my head cleared and we were at it again. 1 was so tired that it was a great effort to swing a fist. Then my numbed brain realized that he was as badly off as 1 was. We had fought ourselves into a state of exhaustion, our faces masses of cuts and bruises. My left eye was closed. Both of his were puffy. Suddenly I stepped back. He held his fists in front of his face and shoved his head forward,

The agency said some of the cases had been identified as the "Oriental flu” virus. Some cases of “Oriental flu" it said, were found in Kentucky, the Thule Air Force Base in Greenland. and aboard a military transport arriving from Seattle July 17.

Illinois. Connecticut and New York. Kentucky health officials said a virus similar to the Far East strain had been found in an outbreak of flu in an encampment in Breathitt County. The Illinois Department of Health said there had been an outbreak of a respiratory disease at an Air Force base in the eastern part of the state.

peering as if trying to find me. I came m, as fast as I could, but 1 suppose 1 was actually slow: t cracked him on the jaw and ho went down, slowly, sort of rocking forward, and fell on his face. 1 backed up and stood against a cottonwood, the sound of my breathing an ugly rasping noise to my own ears, so tired I could not have stood up by myself. “Come here and get his gun, Dogbonc,” Sarah called. "Bring his horse, Curly. Lift him into the saddle. Don’t ever come back, Gene! Do you hear?" Only then did I realize he had not been knocked outl 1 just hadn’t hit him hard enough. I was too far gone to have the strength. His hatred and desire to hammer me into blood pulp were not enough to keep him fighting. He’d quit He got to bis hands and knees and stared at the house, trying to see Sarah. Dogbone came with the guh belt and wrapped it around the saddle horn. Together Curly and the Ute boy got him into the saddle. He left, riding like a- sack of wool, almost falling out of the saddle at times: and it came to me that it was not over and that it would, not be over until Gene Dillingham was dead. That was the last thing 1 remembered clearly. My knees were rubber. Now they gave and 1 slid to the ground, the bark of the tree raking my back as I fought to hold myself upright, and failed. When I came to, I was in bed in the house. My body was one great ache. I co lid not take a deep breath. One eye was still Swollen shut. As I lay on my back and thought about it, 1 wasn’t sure I had actually whipped Dillingham. Or it I had, it had been by a very small margin. "Will.” I had not realized until then that Sarah was sitting beside me Slowly and painfully I turned mj head. She had been crying again. “Is it bad, Will?” “No." “I should have fired him the day 1 made you foreman," she said sadly. “Ben Sawhill was right. I was afraid I’d make ar outlaw out of him, but he’s ar. outlaw now, isn’t.he?” - “Yes." I wondered what would happen to Gene Dillingham. I wished he were dead. He was not a man to forget he had been humiliated He would strike back at me or at Sarah, or both of us. If he picked up life friendship with Merle Turner again, he might even throw in with the colonists. Will-feels the power of Kathy Morgan’s fury: “Sarah has you wound around her little finger. Everybody in the valley knows it but you. She names the song and you sing it.” Continue "Gunlock” here tomorrow.
