Edward J. Day Resigns Post As Postal Head WASHINGTON (UPI) — Postmaster Genera] J. Edward Day bas resigned to accept what he called “an unusual opportunity” to enter law practice in the nation’s capital. The Post Office Department announced Thursday night that Day had submitted his resignation in a letter to President Kennedy expressing “deep regret” at leaving the post. President Kennedy has accepted the resignation, a post office spokesman said. Day told Kennedy July 15 that he was resigning, the spokesman said, and it was agreed at that time that the announcement would be made at Kennedy’s discretion. Authoritative sources said President Kennedy has no t yet decided upon a successor to Day. There have been recurring rumors that Day would resign. Asked last March (about such a report, the President told newsmenthat he had no plans to replace the postmaster general.

Postmaster General H. W. Brawley. ' ! - Brawley left* and joined the Democratic ’ National Committee as executive assistant to the chairman, but there was speculation that Kennedy was displeased with Day’s position. i ■ / e> ' . ( - Day is the third cabinet member to leave office in the Kennedy administration. Others were Abraham Ribicoff, former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare who is now a Senator from Connecticut and Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg, who was named to the Supreme Court. In his letter to the President, dated July 19, Day said that “because of an unusual opportunity that has been offered to me I can no longer . postpone my retu'rn to private life.” Leaves For Law A Post Office spokesman said Day was leaving to practice law here as partner in charge of the Washington office of the Chicago firm of Sidley, Austin, Burgess and Smith. Day was associated with the firm from 1938 when he graduated from Harvard Law School until 1949 when he became an assistant to then Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois. Day told the President that it had been “a great honor to serve in your cabinet” and reported that “the Post Office Department is in excellent condition." “The goals which at your direction I set out to accomplish are all on their way to successful fruition,” he wrote. “There are no pending department crises of a serious nature. Daily Showers Are Forecast In State By United Press International Warm, humid weather cast a muggy pall over Indiana today, but what could be more typical for this time of year? It was normal July weather and everything pointed to a continuation of the same well into the middle of next week. The high temperatures and high humidity will be accompanied by a generous sprinkling of showers and scattered thundershowers throughout the period ending next Wednesday. In fact, it may rain every day somewhere in the state. The immediate forecasts indicated a chance of widely scattered thunderstorms north tonight and isolated thundershowers likely southwest ithis afternoon or evening. Scattered thundershowers were likely all around the state Saturday and again Sunday. After a one-day break in the north portion Monday, additional rain was forecast for Tuesday or Wednesday. The showers may occur dajjy central and sbuth. Temperatures crested Thursday between 87 at Indianapolis and 90 at Evansville. Overnight lows ranged from 68 at Fort Wayne to 70 at Evansville. Highs today will range from 87 to 92, lows tonight from 65 to the low 70s, and highs Saturday from

Seek To Ease Africa Demand Over Portugal UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) —The United States and other NATO powers* sought means today to ease an African demand for a total ban on arms shipments to Portugal. The demand; contained in a resolution being readied for presentation to the Security Council, would mean that the North Atlantic powers would be unable legally to meet their treaty obligations to silpply weapons to Portugal, a NATO partner. The United States has an understanding with Portugal that arms supplied to the Lisbon government under the NATO treaty will not be used against nationalist rebels in Portuguese African territories. Therefore, it has no objection to another demand in the draft resolution which would call upon all U.N. members to withhold from Portugal any supplies that could be used to quell native uprisings. — —— The chief provision in the resolution, in its present form, is a new call to Portugal to start negotiations with African political leaders to carry out past U.N. resolutions calling for an end to repressive measures and self-de-termination in Angola and Mozambique. The resolution, which was discussed Thursday with Secretary General Thant, would ask the U.N. chief executive to report to the Security Council by Sept. 30 on measures taken toward meeting the earlier demands of the world organization. However, informed sources said, it omits the demand made by Ghana last Wednesday that Portugal be suspended from the United Nations unless it frees its African territories by the start of the fall session of the General Assembly on Sept. 17. Presumably, if Thant found it necessary to report no progress by Sept. 30, the 32 African countries which brought Portugal before the Security Council would then ask more drastic measures, probably including suspension from the United Nations until the Lisbon government complied with the demands. 87 to 92. If there is any break in the heat the next five days, it will come Sunday or Monday in the north portion only, and it will be very shortlived. Temperatures will average near normal throughout the state—“seasonably warm and humid most of the time” was the way the weatherman described it. Rainfall will total one-half to three-fourths of an inch north and one-half inch, locally more, elsewhere. It you nave something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

WhyShouldlCare? Lesson for July 28, 1963

Bible Material: Genesis 3 through 11. Devotional Reading: I John 3:11-13; 4:7-8. 20-21.

/ANE Story can have many points. It can be used to illustrate more truths than one. The story of Cain and Abel is a case in point. A thoughtful reader can see in this story how sin gathers weight like an avalanche, moving

slowly at first, just a little snowslide, but finally picking up boulders and entire houses, crushing everything in its path. Sin that begins with something attractive and pleasant (like eating fruit) before

Jfcyl Dr. Foreman

long becomes violent, ugly, repulsive, like murder. The reader can also see in the story of Cain and Abel that sin needs very little excuse to break out. Not long ago a young man in Virginia murdered three people on one afternoon, all because one of them (the three were one family) had “nagged him” about his work. The brutal young man made criticism an excuse for murder. God’s two questions But we shall not be speaking of those and other aspects of this sad story; only of one part of it. The first question which God asks, in the Bible story, is “Where are You?” The next question is “Who told you—?” Shortly afterward, “What is this that you have done?” Then in the story of Cain and Abel, again God opens with a question: “Where is Abel your brother?” Where are you? Who told you the lie you have believed? What have you done? Adam and j Eve had ndt expected those questions. Neither was Cain looking I for the question he got. Cain thought he had finished with Abel. That chapter was closed. The account was balanced. He drew a , bloody finger across the page. 1 But God faced him with a ques- ! tion. If Cain expected God to take I any interest or to make any com- . ment on what Cain considered to i be his own affair, it would be an attack, an accusation. But all God does is ask a simple question. It is the most important question there is, next to “Where are you? ” Keeper er brother? Perhaps Cain thought that a God who would ask questions instead of coming down at once with a curse, must be a weak God. At any rate he makes no defense. His reply is another question, an insolent one: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” That was not the point, as Dr. James W. Clarke of Richmond has said. No, Cain was not Abel’s keeper, of course not. “Who wants a keeper?" Nobody wants a keeper. But everybody needs a brother. Abel needed a brother, and Cain had not been one. But the sin of murder does not begin, usually, all at once. This crime of Cain’s began with a refusal: a refusal to be a keeper, when after all a keeper was not called for. He was responsible for Abel; that was something that perhaps had never occurred to him. And if it had, he shrugged it off. If he could forget that Abel was a brother, then what happened to Abel, even what he himself did to Abel; didn’t matter,— so he thought. Responsibility! to God, for oar brother What is the root of the troubles in today's world? A great deal of it (though of course not all, for- - roots of evil are many!) is just this indifference to what hap. pens to other people. We don’t want to be responsible, and when we do start to help some one else, we want to be keeper, not brother. We are willing to tell other people where to get off, we may like to run their affairs, to think and plan for them; but this is not brotherhood. To be responsible for others is not to live their lives for them. It is treating them like brothers. Once you get to the point of indifference where you don’t really care what happens to another person, you are close to not caring even if he is murdered . . . And that, in the eyes of God is not far from doing th? murder yourself. How many juvenile delinquents have gone down into worse ways because no man would be an older brother to one of them? How many marriages have gone on the rocks because their friends, who could see it coming, did nothing to stave off the tragedy? How many young people have taken the road to alcoholism because their parents didn’t feel responsible for setting an example of temperance and self-denial? How many lives have been wasted because there was no one who really cared? If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD HOME Rev. James R. Meadows That person is blind who does not see that the American home is beset with grave dangers these days. The causes are not far to seek; crowded conditions in great cities, loose divorce laws, materialistic ideas and ideals, reckless propaganda and lowering of ethical and religious standards. There is nothing that needs stronger emphasis today than the profound and far reaching influence of home life. It cannot be measured nor estimated. Literally it makes us what we are. Astronaut John Glenn, who has the courage and the skill to be the first American to alone encircle the outer space around this earth, and who furnished such a remarkable example of clean living and good sense to the young people of this generation, came from a good home, from parents of sterling character and worth. Take the great crowd of decent living, honest, industrious, really religious people in this country of burs — if we could line them up and get the word of testimony from them, one by one, we could find that practically without exception they came from goed homes where they were nutured and trained and loved apd sent forth into the world with the heritage of character that insures real success. The first essential to a good home is the atmosphere of Christianity. Where the Bible is rever-

enced, where prayer ascends to God, where there is loyalty to the church, where Christ is loved and obeyed, where the high standards and ideals of life which Christ revealed are accepted, there you will find the kind of home which sends forth sons stalwart in their strength and daughters polished after the similitude of a palace. If "Home! Sweet Home” is to be realized, children must maintain a right attitude toward their parents. “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” "Honor thy father and mother, that it may be well with you.” Some yovng fellows seem to think it is smart to refer to their father as “the old man.” THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” —Proverbs 22:6.
