NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY MISERY LOVES COMPANY The hospital had some interesting visitors last week-end. One case was a young boy who had cut his hand. He was brought in by another young boy and a man who had come upon the wounded lad after he cui himself. The boy who was helping the lad with the cut was determined that things should go right for his lacerated, friend, so he made it a point to stay close to the field of operations. He stayed a little too Before long, the sight of too mucK. blood had its effect, and the assisting young man fainted. As, he fell, he cut his head, and it took six stitches, twice as many as the ether boy needed on his hand, to get this one back In Wand-Slim Sheath Printßd Pattern J ( 9029 4 kV- 17 I / ‘ L -A" tTiLI H £ _ F" — —. —— Inf There’s fashion excitement galore to this sleek-waisted sheath.

. shape. LIKE A MIRROR Wilma Andrews, teacher at the Lincoln school, ran a mock election iast Monday in her class. It was on the subject of the sale of the power plant, and when the votes had been tallied, it was twothirds in favor of the sale, and one-third against. Tuesday night. Miss Andrews was quite proud of. her class—they reflected almost exactly, the feeling of those who voted Tuesday. So who needs Gallup. DON’T CALL ME Ralph Smith, Jr., had an enlightening trade journal dealing with the milk business. One of articles dealt with some of the crazy notes that people leave for their milkmen. One of these was so involved as to be unintelligible, but another, with the vacation season coming up, was very appropriate. It was from a family that was leaving on vaca- . tion. They- instructed the milk-, man not to leave any-milk for the next two weeks, as they would be away from home. This far, it was very polite and plain. Then, the message continued to state that they would like to have two quarts left at the house the day they returned from vacation. They finished by saying that they didn’t know what day that would be. ON BEING BETTER Many things develop concurrently with the development of a nation. One of the things that has developed along with the United States is an intangible that could well be called inherent responsibility. This is not new m the world, as any nation or civilization has a certain amount of inherent responsibilities that g° along with citizenship. The factor that makes the Unted States unique is the breadth of the inherent responsibility that is incumbent on its citizens. This responsibility is not a thing citizens can assume as they wish, or discard when they feel the pressures are not a responslbmty sought for or. in many cases even desired. But, nonetheless, it falls on each citizen of this nation. As the varying citizens accept this responsibility in varving degrees, so goes the fate of the -United States. Our society has evolved to the place that we have no choice as to what these responsibilities are: the only choice is whether we will accept them or not. In years past, tliese responsibilities have been shouldered willingly. As they become more complex, it remains to be seen whether they will be continued to be assumed. Like it or not, Ameripans have the responsibility of running their country. Not always directly, but through serious consideration at candidates, issues and party platforms. Then, through voting. TTiat is the most obvious of our inherent responsibilities. The others are more involved. There is the responsibility for the aged, the infirm, and the mentally sick:, the orphans and the homeless. This can be assumed through that great unfeeling complexity called government, or it can be taken upon by groups, clubs and individuals' The choice is not whether these groups should be taken care of, but whether we should

We have an inherent responsi- ’ bility for our faith. Not because ' it’s good for our business, or be- ('! cause all the right people do it, ■ but because we have been blessed with more of the good things in life than any other country, and . those who faij to appreciate both the depth and the source of their blessings are on the way'to losing them. America has an. inherent responsibility toward the individual. Our government is based on the precept that the individual citizen is the most important commodity of our way of life. If we lose sight of the individual, then we lose sight of Ameri<*a.... Then there are the inherent responsibilities that are found in every country; those of home and family. Sometimes the others become so interesting, or so overpowering, that these are forgotten. Whoever firs! voiced the opinion that it is “great to be an American,” said some very profound words. But, while it’s great, like everything else that is worth while, it is also difficult to’do it ( justice. > 30 Open House Features PTA Meeting Friday The Northwest PTA met Friday night with an open house featuring an interesting art exhibit at the school building.
