This is our view: Meeting Night In Ligonier Come the fall and winter season meeting night in Ligonier is a seven day proposition, which. in our opinion is good and bad. It is good because it indicates an alert, alive group of citizens, who are seeking the fellowship and guidance of joint activity.

It also premotes the sanity of cooperative living. :

But it is bad for those who seek the hearth as a happy spot after a. hard day’s work, and it is-hard on those organizations who- try to schedule any added events. ' -

We served on a committee recently whose duty it was to pick a night for a public meeting, and what a job it was! At one ‘point in the meeting the group almost came/to the conclusion that an eighth day in the week would be necessary if the meeting was to be held. ; Last year, the Board of Education sponsored a committee whose job it was to keep a calendar of events in the matter of youth activities. Such a calendgr gave each organization an opportunity to cross check before they set any activity dates, and from what we hear, it is working out to advantage. Now/ comes our suggestion for such a calendar sponsored and operated by the Chamber of Commerce. This organization could list the activities of all organizations in the community. It you were planning something special, this calendar could be scanned and the date picked. It would eliminate counter attractions .and help committees no end. A note or a phone call to President Frank Wiley might do the trick. Why not flood him with suggestions and get a City Calendar in operation NOW!

A Great Guy Take humor, Hoosier humor to be specificc. Do you realize that a history could be written about it? Not dull history either. For jokes don’t have to be brand new to be funny. Styles in humor change, it is true, and it may be easier to get a laugh these days with a Brooklyn accent. Note Dotty Mahoney, Abe Burroughs, and even Clifton Fadiman on a dare recently. _

But for real home-spun humor in these parts, we turn to Abe Martin. Abe Martin’s quaint sayings and characters — Miss Fawn Lippincutt, the Hon. ExEditor Cale Fluhart — are good for a laugh any day, even now. But to go back to Hoosier humor as histox?r. If you follow through from the time Indiana was a territory, you will find that quaint tales have been handed down from the days when the Indians first tried to scalp a Frenchman in a wig. “It’s a lie,” the bewildered red man is quoted as saying, as he gazed in horror at the wig, minus the bloody scalp. ik

That new contraption, the Ohio River steamboat, produced lore with its whistle. Some thought it was the Angel Gabriel. Others were sure it was a panther. While the first locomotive in one county at a time when there was a lot of talk about the tariff, sent the children screaming to their mothers, “Here comes the tariff; puffin’ right through our woods!” :

In fact it is believed by some that the name Hoosier originally meant a big “feller” with his pants leg hooked over the inside ear of his boots, who went back home on a visit after he had settled in the new territory and made the home folks’ eyes bug out with his big talk. Most of his tall tales were about fishermen, hunters, and the new raw buffalo hide harness that stretched in the rain, but pulled the wagon up a steep hill when the sun came out and contracted the hide. That was before the farmer got his new Model-T. He was a great guy this Hoosier humorist. And still is. We would do well to keep up his acquaintance. —Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

MUSINGS OF “AN EDITOR by Calhoun Cartwright

I've been pondering over the word “truth” since Sunday, and it has occured to me that taken in larger doses the world could cure many of its ills and eliminate many of its evils. Saying that might sound silly to many of you when men back to Socrates have been saying just that thing, and nothing much has been done about it. But it “must be mentioned constantly, and along the way someone picks it up and makes for a step forward in the progress of human relationship. I, of course, cannot expect this column to change the course of the state, nation or world when I speak of it, but I can present its worth in reference to the comsmunity in which we live. In fact, 1 could, with extreme temerity, suggest that the ministers of all communities devote a few Sundays to the subject in place of the etheral subjects they are liable to choose. - . That of course is beside the question and deserves the remark “mind your, own business;” which I undoubtedly shopuld, . = = , But back to my subject, 1 personally have always liked the truth and in my. humble and limited way, have attempted to make its seeking a part of my philosophy. : e ; Just imagine if you can the type of a community it would be if everyone said “prove it,” before they would take as gospel the words of their friends and neighbors, What would happen to the rumor mongers if everytime they srushed over with a choice bit of gossip you confronted them with the question, prove it . 0L _

I can imagine it and so can you. It would throw some people’s lives into a cocked hat, but it would be a more pleasant place in which to live. If such a project could be handled, what a contribution it would make to institute a search into the heart aches, head aches, ° disappointments and changes in modes of living caused by rumors and lies . If theére is one iota ot humanity in the breasts of people, such a project could change the course of the world and make living a pleasurable struggle in place of the up and down emotionalism of most of our lives. I heard a man recently say that the thing he hated most was the person + Who ran to him and said ,“I hate to tell you this but - - -” Of course that person didn’t hate to tell what he or she told. - They probably layed awake at night waiting for morning to tell the ru_mgr or bit of gossip they had in their mind.

In my entire life, I have never known a prejudiced man or woman who had command of the facts. Prejudice is the lazy person’s method of forming an opinion. It requires not that the facts are searched., It takes no time, thought or study and has done more personal damage than all the devastating instruments devised. I do not mean that we can love everyone, or revere them, or be for them. I mean that before we form our opinions we should have the adultness to find out the truth, and then act accordingly, = i

When I find out a person lies, cheats, steals, is malicious or unkind, then 1 form an opinion and I have little time for that individual, but I do fot jump at those conclusions.

Further, T believe the truth to be our greatest weapon in this battle .of life, for the old saying “truth will out” is proven many, many times in the course of a lifetime. =

I believe the key to happier living lies in that one word, “truth.”. It makes friends out of strangers, and that in the words of the poet is our greatest fault. “Here lies the tragedy of our race! | Not that men are poor; = All men know something of poverty. Not that men are wicked; ' Who can claim to bé good? . . Not that men are ignorant; : Who can boast that he is wise? But that men are strancers” ;

Have respect for your friends, rela~ tives and enemies, A blend of what they say behind your back forms your reputation. el ey B quﬁnle who profit by their mistakes will find _they really have . made no mistakes.,

oNE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS of “the debate on the Anderson farm bill during the week,. was the charge in the senate by Sen. George Aiken that the commodity credit corporation was just about out of money and would need more if farm prices were to be kept on the 90 per cent of parity ‘basis for another year. ¢ This is a reverberation on the Republican side of the fence of the measure offered previously in the house by Congressman Jesse Wolcott,” Republican of " Michigan, to give CCC another billion dollars in loan authority. Congressman Brent Spence of Kentucky immediately. challenged Wolcott, declaring CCC had plenty of money for the purpose of carrying out the farm price support law. &

* Facts are that as of June 30 this year the commodity credit corporation had approximately two and a half billion in borrowing authority left out of its original 4.75 billion dollar authorization given about two years ago. This means that CCC has about two and a quarter billion tied up in loans and inventory out of which it may or may not realize a profit or a loss. Then out of this two and a half billion available; it must carry on its price support program the rest of this fiscal year until June 30, 1950. Actually CCC has only lost - approximately $250,000,000, all - in 1948, and from its inaugura-: tion in 1933 to the beginning of 1948, has made an overall profit - on its operations. Some profits during the war were on the fantastic side. It piled up profits of some $200,000,000 on its cotton - inventory alone. So officials .of CCC are not + of “njoney unless: the crops of next year are so tremendous that huge grain surpluses pile up. If the crops are normal or in_short supply they ‘may well < make a profit on the commodi~ - ties taken over under this J

year’s loans. o i - This 81st congress has made a fairly good record on conservation of .natural resources and kindred projects, the count being more than a score of bills which include meas"ures ear-marking approximately a“billion dollars for flood control, ~river ‘and harbor and reclamation . projects, ' 3 1 _ The administration and others in

-i o v _REV. ROBERT H. HARPERIsalab Teaches Trust in God Lesson for October 30: Isaiah 7: 3-7; 12:2; 26:1-7; 30:1-2, 15-17 Memory Selection: lsaiab 12:2 TBE PRESENT LESSON begins * _with God’s assurances to “Ahaz, - the king of Judah, that the designs of Syria and Israel against Judah would come to naught. They would not overrun the kingdom, and they would not set a puppet king on the throne. The House ‘of David would be saved. -

The Thanksgiving expressed in Isaiah 12:2 was evidently for the destruction of Sennacherib’s host—a miraculous occurrence strikingly described by Lord Byron in his Hebrew Melodies. This deliverance came during the reign of Hezekiah, son of Ahaz. After a plague that fell in the night upon the Assyrian host, Sennacherib fled back to Nineveh, where he was slain by assassins. The next passage is a song which the prophet declared would be sung in Judah. He evidently had in mind a distant time when Judah should be delivered from all enemies. The might of the Lord would do this. The trust which is taught in God should ‘be learned now. A great revival of trust in God is sorely needed, not oply by individuals, but also by the rulers of nations. “The last passage—against an alliance with Egypt, could well be considered by the nations that face the working out of peace for the world. Whatever may be the value of the international policies of the present, and of this pact or that, and the hope of security through them, the great lesson that should be learned by the nations is that of trust in God to bring all the threatened evils of the time to naught.
