Everhart Is Named Trustees Chairman The board of trustees of the First Methodist church held their annual organizational meeting Wednesday evening in the church office. Sylvester Everhart was elected chairman; Clyde Butler, vice chairman; Bichard Childs, secretary: and Harry Dailey, treasurer. Other members of the board include: Alva Lawson, Joseph Kaehr Paul Moore, L. A. Cowens and Earl Sheets. Virgil Krick, retiring chairman, was appointed to work with the board in developing and executing plans for a new parking lot on -the old Yoder property recently purchased by the church. The parking lot is to be large enough to accommodate 40 cars. Lawson and Cowens were appointed to advertise for sale and removal of the house on the premises to make way for the new parking lot. The removal of the house and the construction of the parking lo’l are to be done as soon as the house is vacated by the C. I. Finlayson family, who will soon be moving into their new home in Fort Wayne. Penalty On Excess Wheat Is $1.07 The marketing quota penalty rate on excess wheat of the 1959 crop is $1.07 per bushel. Mary J. Howard, manager of the Adams county ASC office, said today. Beginning May 1. the rate was set at 45 per cent of the wheat parity price, as directed by law, Mrs. Howard announced from the county agricultural stabilization and conservation office. Under the wheat marketing quota program, Mrs. Howard explained, a farmer who does not comply with his farm wheat acreage allotment is subject to a penalty on the farm marketing excess, except that a farmer who harvests 15 acres or less of wlfeat is not subject to quota penalties. A farmer who has excess wheat acreage planted may avoid the marketing penalty by storing his excess wheat under bond and by making a reduction in the 1960 wheat seeding of his wheat allotment. or by delivering the excess wheat to the secretary of agriculture.

List For Rawer Leaaoa for June 1, 1959 IS THERE one Bin from which all other sins come ? Many theologians think there must be; but they do not all agree on what sin is the root-sia of all the rest'. One sin which hai been singled out for this doubtful honor has been called "the lust for power.” It is not wrong to desire power; otherwise Jesus | would have se- ’ verely condemned the two dis- ! YNkFI ciples who want- i'iO® >il ed to sit on. j jfl thrones at his i„, right and left. It S wrong to wish to influence ■ other persons, Dr. Foreman otherwise it would be a sin to run for president of anything. Nevertheless, desire for power can be so exaggerated that it becomes a passion, a soul-destroying passion. Law aad the Last far Power There is a flrst-claas example of how the lust for power can run away with a man, an example of how other sins are spawned by this one, in the Bible story bf King Ahab and the private citizen named Naboth. Nearly all readers of the Bible know this story, and those who do not know it should look it up (see the references given here), for it is a dramatic story. King Ahab was of course one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom. He had all he needed and more besides. But he wanted the vineyard of the small fanner Naboth. He wanted it so much that he was willing to break the law of the land, he was willing to go even as far as murder, to get what he wanted. Ahab could never have got that vineyard by legal means. If Naboth did not want to sell, there was no law to make him. More than that, according to the law of those times, Naboth was required to hold on to his property, Ancient Hebrew law saw to it that every family was provided with land, and must not get rid of their landed property, large or small. Ahab was at first “stumped” by this fact. But spurred by his wife Jezebel, a sort of Lady Macbeth, Ahab rode right 1 through the law, using perjury and murder before he was through, all to get that one vineyard. Property for im or for Power? History is filled with examples of fnen who have been so mad for 1 power that like Ahab they paid no attention to laws that would have i held them back from what they ■ wanted. We have seen this in our time in Hitler abroad, and in some men in high places in our own country. But there is another thing about the hist for power. Why is it that many persons seem unable to stop acquiring property? Long after they can no longer use it, long after they have enough, they keep on going, they never feel up to the game, they want more and more. The thing becomes almost a disease. One wise thinker of our times believes that this sort of thing, the sort of thing Ahab did, is a case of wanting security overmuch. A man wants to feel safe, so he piles up wealth and property around him like walls to shut out misfortune. He does not care whom he hurts, just so he himself is safe. Another thinker sees in all this, evidence to support the proposition that while property for use is a good thing, property for power alone is dangerous to society and that wanting to have what you cannot use la a sin. My Righto aed ay Reoeh One thing is certain: the prophet Elijah, being God’s man and not the king's, saw no good in what Ahab had done. There was nothing in being a king which gave a man the right to disregard other people, nothing in being a king that gave a man the right to smash the laws of God. Ahab must have thought, "My rights go as far as I can reach." But the fact is, the true rights of a man, especially a strong man, an very seldom as big as his reach. To put that into other words: Don’t think that because you ean get by with it yon have a right to do anything you please. When you, whoever you are, begin to think your rights outrank all others’ rights, take care The ata has already begun to work in you ton Don’t let your vacations be merely moral holidays. To be vindictive is to make ourselves the slaves of our enemies. When you distrust everyone else, others begin to distrust you. To train a child in the way he should go, go that way yourself.

Forbid Segregation In Atlanta Schools ATLANTA (UPD — A Federal District Court today issued a preliminary order forbidding racial segregation in Atlanta public schools. ' The order came at the outset of a non-jury trial before two federal judges of a request by 10 Negro parents for a declaration that Atlanta’s segregated public schools are unconstitutional. Although a speedy trial had been predicted in the efforts by Negroes to desegregate the Atlanta public school system, the swiftness of the action caught the crowded courtroom by complete surprise. Judge Frank Cooper, presiding in the unusual two-judge, non-jury trial, said at the outset that the order he would read was of a preliminary nature and that both sides would be given “ample opportunity” to off e r arguments against the decision. “To make any other ruling would’ only add to the confusion” which he said is now rampant in the public thinking about the desegregation issue, Cooper said.
