Chicago Banker Is Legion Commander Says U.S. Is Still Prime Red Target . ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. <UP> - The new national commander of the American Legion told the delegates to the group’s 39th national convention that the United States was still the principal target of the Communist plan for world conquest and domination. John S. Gleason Jr., 42, a Chicago banker, urged that therb be no slackening “of our moral, spiritual and physical defenses. Gleason was elected command-

——■ IIIIWH-I EB Bh- Bfl Why guess? Have your soil sampled and tested free by A. A.C. Soil Service How much fertilizer will your crop need? You can’t expect to get a high yield on next year’s crop unless there is enough plant food available in your soil. But guessing how much fertilizer your soil needs to grow that big crop'is risky business. You can eliminate this risk by taking advantage of the free A. A.C. Soil Service. Guided by the size and topography of your field, an A.A.C. fieldman will take an adequate number of borings for a good soil sample. He’ll record a complete' and accurate crop history of the field, too. Then the carefully marked sample will be mailed to the nearest A.A.C. laboratory where trained chemists will analyze it to find out how much available plant food it contains. Teets will also be run to determine soil pH. Results and field history will L_-.. then be studied carefully by A.A.C. agronomists familiar with farm practices in your area. In a few weeks you’ll receive a complete report of the fertility level of the field, with sound, practical advice on how and when to fertilize and lime to grow a better crop. Recommendations will be made for your particular crop and toil. This report can take the guess out of buying fertilizer. Let A.A.C. Soil Service work for you i. i just contact your nearby AGRICO agents AGRICO Mecie only by THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL CO. 8

er of the Legion Thursday at the dosing session of the convention. He succeeds W. C. (Dan) Daniel. The new national chaplain is the Rev. Feltham S. James, pastor of the 158-year-old Bethel Methodist Church, Charleston, S. C., and winner of a Freedoms Foundation gold medal for an out-standing sermon. Gleason’s acceptance speech followed an address by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover who denied reports of a drop in Communist Party membership in the U. S. The Legion cited Hoover for his “staunch leadership in this natioris fight against the evils of communism.” “ Hoover said that as long as the Red undercover apparatus exists, the Communist threat cannot be brushed aside as trivial or fanci-

ful. Alvin Owsley, American Legion representative to the trial of Army Special 3C William Girard, urged the reexamination of all security treaties to provide safety clauses for American servicemen abroad. He said that Girard would get a fair trial in Japan. The 40 and 8, an affiliate of the Legion, elected William E. Armstrong, Hot Springs. Ark., its grand chef de chemin. Suffers Broken Hand In Fall Last Night’ Richard Mies, of 266 North Second street, sustained a broken right hand Thursday evening, in a fall" down a flight of steep steps at the Marine reserve training center. He was taken to the Veteran’s hospital in Fort Wayne, but returned to Decatur for treatment. The hand will be in a cast for six to eight weeks. Two Thefts Reported Thursday Afternoon Two thefts were reported to the city* police Thursday afternoon. James R. Colter of 921 West Adams street, told police that several chains with a total value of about sls were taken from the cab of his unlocked truck which was parked at 327 South 10th street. Chalmer Peßolt of the Homestead, reported a SIOO jack stolen from the D. & T. service station.

Daring Daniel Lesson for September ti, 1957 « TA ARE to be a Daniel” was the L-' name of a song that used to be sung in Sunady schools all over America. Maybe people read the stories of Daniel then more often than they do now. Any one who thinks the tales about this man are exaggerated and sound more like legend than history, might ask himself this question: What sort of man must Daniel

Dr. Foreman

have been, what I kind of reputation did he leave behind him, to have such stories ■ attach them- ; selves to his ! name and mem- i ory? No meek i littleyes-manwas he. On the con- I trary his very

name is a symbol of courage against odds. Two Kinds of Courage There are two kinds of courage: physical and moral. Physical courage means keeping on doing what you know you ought to do, #ven when you are being terribly hurt, or about to be hurt. A scoutmaster in a boat with some small boys got into some heavy waves, the boat overturned, and everybody climbed on top of the upside-down craft. Then it became evident that there were too many for the boat in that position. So the scoutmaster, after pulling the last boy out of the water, swam alongside for a while, and when he could swim no longer, quietly sank... dying to save a boy’s life. That took courage. Then there is also moral courage, which means doing or saying what you believe to be right, in spite of ridicule or powerful contrary opinions. Against Orders Courage always is against something,—danger, public opinion, pain. Daniel’s courage sometimes was of the rare and risky sort, courage to defy orders from his official superiors. Daniel’s salary was paid by the royal court, and' like many salaried men, when ordered to do something against hie conscience and religion, might have shrugged it off: “Well, I hate to do it, it goes against the grain. But this is my job and who am I to talk back to my employer? I’ve gotta play ball if I stay on the payroll/* Daniel was made of itouter stuff. When he knew that Sod said one thing and his boss said another, even if the boss was i king with powers of life and death, Daniel saw no choice but to obey God rather than men. Against Custom Daniel “bucked” not only an oldfashioned, oriental dictator, all dressed up in crown and gown, but something that is just as tyrannical: public opinion and longstanding customs. If he had had the public on his side, he might not have been reported (for example) in the incident of the prayers at the open window. Back home in Palestine many would have known that he was right; here in Persia almost no one agreed with him. To go against “what everybody does”—usually meaning by "everybody" the more important people of a communitytakes nerve. It can be wrong, too. tor very often public opinion is lust about right. One ought to think very carefully before flying the opposite course to every one >lse. But when Daniel knew he was right, he knew that fifty thousand Medes and Persians could be wrong; and he acted accordingly. Against Personal Interests Many people take the easiest way. All they ask is, “What does this get- me? Where does it get me? Will this bring me more prestige, will it end in my promotion, will it help me up the ladder?” If die answer is Yes, then they ge ahead. They don’t dare do anything contrary to their own interests. But Daniel dared. More than □nee he had the courage to do something or to say something when it looked as if by doing or saying it he would put an end to ris career. But the king always cept him on, though for a while he might turn against him. Men admire courage of all sorts, especially Daniel’s kind. The king and everybody else knew that hero was a man who could be counted 2D to say and to do what he was convinced was right, even if it rurt him, —even if it killed him. Here was a man who could not be threatened, could not be bought. Such men Were not plentiful then, they are not thick as blackberries row. But they aro God’s men always.
