An Allegory By GEORGE S.BENSON President of Harding College Searcy. Arkansas
V-
IN THE MIDST of a forest there was a shrewd mouse-trap manufacturer who turned out a dependable item. Son Joe worked long hours making steel springs by hand. Mother kept the books and wrote the letters. Dad did the assembly work and finishing. There were no sales problems. Customers already had beaten a path to his door and formed a waiting line. But there was beefing in the line. Deliveries were slow and •service was bad. Finally one day, in a stack of third-class mail, Mom found an advertisement for spring-winding machines. It was very timely because Joe’s workbench was the bottle neck. Nobody else could make springs and he was always rushed to keen up with Dad. So Dad bought Joe a spring-winding machine. Prosperity TURNING out a * Acquired belter trap than evefr, and a lot-more per day, business was fine. Prosperity came. Dad was flush, de-' dared Saturday afternoons off and raised pay all the way around. About the lime the general good feeling’was at its height, Joe married a cute little communistic viewpoint. Then it was that the rodent extermination industry started to undergo complete reorganization. The little c.v. convinced Joe that he ought to have a half interest in the business, and there wasn’t much Dad could do about it. After the 50-50 partnership was formed, the c.v. started tell*

ters provided on arrival, ranging from barracks accommodations to medieval castles, are among the attractive features of these jobs, Bennett said. Miss Marchen Cerri, Civil Service representative, will interview, administer typing and shorthand tests, and immediately hire successful applicants during the next two weeks at the U. S. Employment Service, 257 West Washington street. Miss Cerri will also receive applications for the following overseas jobs: Construction, electrical, mechanical and civil engineers; fire chief and assistant fire chief, chief storekeeper, sewage and refrigeration plant operators, junior and senior electricians, crane and shovel operators, and foremen experienced in machinist and equipment trades, plumbing, carpenter, electrician, clerk-typists to General Headquarters, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, in Japan. Doing the best you can with the little opportunities that come along will get you further than idly wishing for the big chance that may never arrive.
ing Mom off right regularly, making quips about faked accounts, and gifts from buyers, to shock the F.T.C. Mom had to keep books with the c.v. looking over her shoulder, eating an apple. Prosperity FINALLY the junior Destroyed partner made bold to demand a spot on the payroll for the c.v., at Mom’s pay, with authority to watch Mom and keep her honest. That was the day the spring-winding machine broke down. Repairing it seemed auite useless to Dad, what with a shop full of headaches, padded payrolls, no profits, and all departments working at cross purposes. 'He’d just quit! After Dad and*Mom left, labor costs increased and Joe missed a few payments on his new springwinding machine but the little c.v. devised a solution: Raise wages a<»ain and boost the price of traps. This brought an unpleasant reaction from the customers and the waiting line melted down to a third of its average length. Joe sensed trouble and ran after the customers but didn’t catch many. Early one morning a man came in a truck and took the springwinding machine away, leaving the whole crew wondering where to look for a job. They say the machine was offered to Dad, chean. but he was not interested. By this time, old crafty Dad was busy with research on an odorless electronic, destined, in due time, to put mouse-traps off the market entirely.

Last week-end was one of the most pleasant we had had for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Purdy, my husband and I journeyed to Spring Mill State Park. We left Sunday morning after Sunday School and arrived at ,the park about middle of the afternoon. The road there thru Martinsville, Bloomington, Bedford and Mitchell is one of the most beautiful. Winding hilly road, at times you are so high you can see far out over the

landscape. The green hills in the far distance with theft purple haze, the cattle grazing on the hillside, and the fields of freshly cut wheat, all blend into one of nature’s beautiful .pictures. Upon arriving in the park, the perfect winding roads through the wooded slopes of virgin timber led us to the inn, a beautiful building of Bedford stone. At the desk we were greeted by the genial manager, Lee Waynick, who succeeded in finding accommodations for us. For which we felt very lucky for we didn’t have reservations. (I would suggest, if any of you go, to write -or call for reservations. They are filled to capacity at all times). My husband and I had a room in the inn, and our friends had a cottage. We found both very comfortable and very, very clean. The cottage is modern and situated on a hillside in the midst of the forest. After unpacking our bags we made a tour of the inn. We found it situated in an ideal spot, on a hillside; At the back of the inn is a huge terrace and from it you can see miles in the distance and right down below is a lake. From the window of our room on the second floor, we could look out over this breath-taking scene. On the first floor, as you enter the inn, is the large, cool, inviting lounge. To the left is the dining room, and to the right is a most interesting gift shop and lending library with Miss Blanche Boyd, a high school teacher at Mitchell, in charge. We were impressed by the friendliness of everyone, and Miss Boyd was no exception. Needless to say, Mrs. Purdy and I browsed and browsed among I the lovely things on display. In the basement are ping-pong tables, card tables, a juke box for the young folks and a grand piano. ,
By that time our husbands were anxious to “get going,” so we took a trail to Donaldson’s Cave and the Twin Caves. At the Twin Caves you can take a boat and go into the cave but it being Sunday there were so many people waiting to take the boat that we decided to wait until Monday for our trip. So we hiked back to the inn for dinner. We were met at the door of the dining room by the hostess, Mrs. Blanche Foster Boruff, a capable, friendly person, who has the art of meeting people and making them feel at ease. She assigned us to our table which we had at every meal. No sooner were we seated when our sweet little waitress, a high school girl at Mitchell, served us a delicious chicken dinner. The dining room is a large beam-ceilinged room furnished in maple furniture and' lighted with wrought iron lamps. I Along the window side looking! out over the terrace the honeymooners are seated, and of course it is called honeymoon row. Last week, twenty-three couples spent their honeymoon at Spring Mill. Certainly a more ideal place could not be found. Mrs. Boruff was very generous in acquainting us with some of the guests. One outstanding person was Marion Cox, a contralto of unusual charm. In private life she is Mrs. Frederick J. Bird of Cincinnati. Miss Cox was prima donna of the Charlotte Lund Opera Company in New York City, since then she has been featured on the National Farm and Home Hour radio pro-
gram, and has appeared in concert in almost every state in this country, as well as Canada and “Cuba. Her repertoire consists of songs in five languages. Much to our disappointment we did not get to hear her sing. Another guest was Bobby Frazier, who | won the Times Spelling Contest, along with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Frazier of Indianapolis. We were told, on Saturday nights they have an entertainment on
