4 —Lancaster Farming., Saturday. February 6, 1960 FROM WHERE WE STAND - Some time ago our friend Pete was lamenting over the fact that some ot his labors were going unnoticed anfl consequently unrewarded. He-was wax ing properly indignant, Tie thought, a bout the ujnust treatment he was re ceiving at the hands of an unkind pop ulace, when a mutual friend happened in and stopped to listen for a few min utes. “Woah, Pete”, he drawled, “You are on the verge of violating rule num- ber six.” “What is rule number six?” snap ped Pete. “Never take yourself too serious ly,” again drawled Friend “Well, then what are rules?” stammered Pete, “There are no other rules,” the laconic reply. All this by way of saying that sometimes it is a good, idea to step back a few paces and view ourselves trom where others stand, if possible. Two weeks ‘ago this column car ried a rather fanciful, tongue-in-cheek piece about the romance of cow milk ing. We have had so many comments on the thing that we feel compelled to draw some message from the situation. This column was begun with the express purpose of giving, each week, some profound advice to the farmers of the area on how to solve the prob lems facing Agriculture in America. Well, perhaps the instruction to, “be gin by squeezing with the index finger, then the third finger, finishing with the little finger” did not help anyone solve any of the problems of this com plex world, but some of your raents indicated that it might Davidson At a time when hopes are World nations, have great the highest in ten years for faith in the President of the world peace, perhaps the United States, both as a man most controversial issue be- of wide military experience fore Congress is the building and as a man dedicated to of a strong national defense building a peaceful world Just where do we stand on He recognizes both our lag national defense?

Lancaster Express 4-3047 Jack Owen, Editor Don’t Break Rule Number Six the other THIS WEEK —ln Washington With Clinton Davidson Uncertain Trumpet brought a chuckle to an otherwise plain day. Sometimes we need to forget the problems and give ourselves to a chuc kle - wholeheartedly. The Pennsylvan ia “Dutch expression, “We grow too soon oldt and too late schmart” puts it one way. The answer of the old south ern Negro, when asked how he had lived so many years and still enjoyed life, puts it another. He said, “When I works, I works hard. When' I sets, I sets loose, and when I lays down, I goes to sleep.” I’m sure the old man would have been at a loss for an answer if you had asked him if he had ever had to take sleeping pills. He never even heard of them. Relax once in a while. Your work will still be there waiting when you get back to it. And, remergber, be careful that you don’t violate rule number six. was The Scottish poet Robert Burns once wrote, “If God would but the gift ie gi’e us To see ourselves as others see us.” That would probably be pret ty nasty shock to some of us, but to those who could laugh at the poor speciman which exists there in the place where they previously saw per fection, life would be a wonderful thing. Give yourself a break from the routine, serious business of making a living. Treat yourself to a few mom ents of relaxation every day. Be care ful not to break rule number six. Put something off until tomorrow You have made enough mistakes for today. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. com have “the nation will face a seri ous crisis beginning about 1961. For a period of years thereafter, the balance of military strength will tip dangerously in favor of the Communist bloc unless we take action now.” Sen. Stuart Symington, former Secretary of the Air Force, fully shares the fears of Gen. Taylor. Sen Syming ton is a member of the Sen ate Armed Service Commit tee and possible Democratic nominee for the presidency. Whether we go all-out now to overtake Russia in mis sies, or wait and see if the Summit Conference can make a start toward disarm ament and peaceful co-exist ence may well be the most important decision America makes in 1960. All we can do is hope and pray that the decision, what ever it is, is the one that will preserve our nation and our world as a society of free men.
