WHAT ABOUT IT, LIGONIER?

Last week five local boys werel jailed in LaGrange for stoning Amish buggies going to and fro in the course of their daily routine. It was a nasty sort of thing that should not be tolerated and the culprits should be punished, but one which proves a point this newspaper has been making for many months. WHAT THIS community can use is a program of activity for their teen-age group, where the energies of youth might be consumed in useful, pleasant occupation rather than the moral and physical destructive type. We are not alarmist. We don’t think the youth are going to the dogs or that they are any worse than the generation before them, but unlike a day some of us know, the young people now lack the imagination to provide their own " clean amusement.

To develop that .imagination, and to keep them constructively occupied, it becomes necessary sometimes for the community as a whole to take up the cudgeon and go to work. This, in our humble opinion, is the time.

IN KENDALLVILLE, one man practically single-handed, helped the problem there by getting a recreation center established for the teen-age boys of the community. In his Center the boys box, play pingpong, checkers, etc. and go home at 10 p. m. tired and ready for the full night’s sleep they need. It hasn’t cost much in dollars and cents, but its benefits have reached sizeable proportions.

We’'ve had no end of young people come to this office asking us to do something for the teen-ager, and our answer always has been to get their parents and friends active in their behalf. ONE GROUP of young girls came in asking for help in getting a skating rink in operation. They were willing to do most of the work, and lamented the fact there wasn’t enough for “kids” to do in our city. We think there could be things done to help this segment of our population, but “letting George do it” will not find the job completed. !

The Optimist Club in America have been highly successful in their “boy’s work”. Lions International have done wonders helping the blind. We challenge the local Reotary Club to take up this problem and make the building of a program for the benefit of our teen-agers their major job. What a satisfaction their membership could receive by setting their teeth into something of lasting worth. - What about it, Ligonier?

It’s the biggest job in the world today ~keeping it running for liberty and for freedom. And the whot. iorid’s watching to see whether Americans can do it! | IN MUCH OF THE WORLD today, the people have resigned from running their own countries. Others have been quick to step in—first with promises of ‘‘security’’—and then with whips and guns—to run things their way. The evidence is on every front page in the world, every day.

FREEDOM COMES UNDER ATTACK. The reality of war has made every American think hard about the things he’s willing to work and fight for—and freedom leads the list. . But that freedom has been attacked here reccntly~just as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One of the most serious threats to individual freedom has been the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory Health Insurance, falsely presented as a new guarantee of health ““security’” for everybody. . THE PEOPLE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the people studied the case for Socialized Medicine—and the case against it. They found that Government domination of the people’s medical «ffairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means lower standards of medical care, higher payroll taxes, loss of incentive, damage to researchry penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident. They found that no couniry on earth can surpass America’s leadership in medical care and progress. They found that able doctors, *vachers, nurses and scientists —~working in labcratories where Science, not Politics, is master—are blazing drematic new trails to health for Americans—and for the world. | THE “GRASS ROOTS*’ SIGNALS CONGRESS. In every community in the Nation, people stood up to 'be counted on this important issue. Thousands of local women’s clubs, civic groups, farm, business, religious, taxpayer, medical, educational and patriotic organ-

e Throughout the Nation, free men and women, working and };lanning together, are finding the American answer to every question of medical service, care and cost.

THE VOLUNTARY WAY IS THE AMERICAN WAY!

Christian Science | 411 Lincolnway West “Unreality” is the subgect of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Shrilst,, Scientist, on Sunday, Octoer I.t : The Golden Text is: “What is the chaff to the wheat ? saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 23:28). ) - Among the citations which comf)rise the Lesson-Sermon is the folowing from the Bible: “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them” (Matthew 13:24, 26, 28, 29). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Seriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “When the evidence of Spirit and matter. Truth and error, seems to commingle, it rests upon foundations which time is wearing away. Mortal mind judges by the testimony of the material senses, until Science obliterates this false testimony” (p. 296). The Science of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate ‘ the chaff from the wheat” (p. 466).

e Doctors of this Nation are grateful that the people refused to be woe~d by the fantastic promises of this un-American excursion into State Socialism. ® Doctors of America are dedicated to serve their fallow citizens at home and their comrades in uniform, wherever service o this Nation may take them. ® And the thing they stand ready to fight for—to sacrifice for—to die for—is not the alien way of life of Socialism, but the prideful - security of a free and self-reliant people!

in America—7o million people ate protected by Voluntary Health Insurance! e Throughout the Nation, families are insuring themselves against the major costs of illness—at reasonable, budget-basis prices. Voluntary Health Insurance takes the economic shock out of illness. Protect your family now. e For information, ask your doctor—or your inst-ance man.
