From Where We Stand ...
Graduates —Your Bargain With Life
To the graduates of 1962
May we add our voice to all the
messages ot congratulation you will
'receive
That sheepskin you carry so proud-
Iv does not mean you are “Educated’ .
It means that you should now have
enough “appreciation” ot education to
want to “become educated”.
Your intellectual horizons should
have now been widened and you should
have an appreciation of where you want
„o go and how to get there
The time has come when, if you
have not already done so, you must
make your bargain with the world This
is something you will have to do for
yourself, your parents, your teachers, or
your government can not do it for you
You have been supplied with the
tools ol bargaining during the past tour
years, and the kind of bargain you make
inay be determined by how well you
have learned to use those tools
You can be almost anything you
want to be. or do almost anything you
want to do if you are willing to work
lor it and sacrifice for it
Now is the time to begin working
lor what you really want out of life
.Remember those who merely chase
happiness in life never quite catch up
with it The truly happy person is he
who knows what he wants and is con
tent to work toward his goals
As you prepare to make your bar
gain with hie you have to have goals.
You must look toward the future, but
; ou must live in the present
The toiler without a dream a goal
will all his hte moil in the mud
_'he dreamer without the will to work
_or his dreams is destined to become a
frustrated visionary
No one will seriously tell you that
; our bargain with life will be easy Bar
gains with life never have been easy,
out they can be pleasant
Each of us, no matter how rich or
how poor, how capable or incapable,
has a sacred obligation to do the best
we can to make this country we live in
apd the world we live on a better
place because we were here
If we may be allowed one little bit
ot advice it is this Look back to recall
only the pleasant times; look ahead with
nope; look to yourself with confidence,
and look up with faith.
Congratulations, Good Luck, and
God bless you

Dairy month might not be the
most (appropriate time to mention the
iollowing, but we believe dairymen
ought to be aware of any situation
which will directly effect their markets
In a recent issue of the trade jour
nal, “Printers' Ink”, a publication direc
ted to the advertising industry, was the
following announcement of a new pro
duct.
As foods high in poly-unsaturates
gain favor among cholesterol-conscious
consumers, more attention is being

“A Los Angeles dairy—Beverly
Franilla Milk Co—is marketing the
‘first imitation milk made with safflower
oil,’ considered to be higher in poly-un
saturates than any other vegetable oil
“Count-Staff, made from 100 per
cent whole milk with the butterfat re
moved, is marketed in one-quart 'car
tons and is said to have a shelf life of
13 days
“Described as ‘tasting better than
the best glass of milk you ever tasted,’
Count-Staff is now making its debut in
Southern California, promoted via TV,
radio and newspapers, and direct mail ”
We may be old fashioned, but to
us, 100 '< whole milk “with the butter
fat removed” is still skim milk whether
it be called “non-fat milk”, “defatted
milk” or any of the other names
dreamed up to try to make skim milk
more appealing
The thought of an artificial milk,
using safflower oil, or any other veg
etable oil, to reconstitute skim milk to
a product resembling whole milk, is
positively nauseating
If we are to drink 100 per cent
whole milk, we want it with butterfat
intact
We believe the type of advertising in
the above announcement could have a
very undesirable impact on the entire
dairy industry, but we do not believe
dairymen should attempt to have the
product outlawed
We believe that if dairymen had
spent as much effort and money pro
moting butter as they expended m
lighting oleomargenne, they would now
be in a much better position
We believe the dairymen should
present the fact that NOTHING is bet
ter than the best glass of milk you ever
tasted
At least that’s how it looks from
where we stand
Exercise in Citizenship
Have you ever thought of paying
your income tax as an exercise in
citizenship 9
That’s what Mortimer Caplin,
commissioner of Internal Revenue called
it recently at a meeting of the News
paper Farm Editors in Washington.
One thing told the editors by Cap
lin should be of little comfort to farm
ers
Of the estimated $24 4 billion in
come not reported, approximately $l2
billion is in farm and industrial profits.
Farmers’ tax reporting habits have
improved greatly in recent years, he
said and “I am convinced that a large
portion of any underreporting or overre
portmg b3 r farmers as a group is due to
lack of understanding of complex tax
laws ”
And we can add a hearty “Amen - ’
-to Mr Caplin's concludings tatement, “I
am certain that when properly inform
ed of his rights and obligations, the
American farmer will comply with the
tax laws forthrightly and fairly ”
At least that’s how it looks from
where we stand.

Love is of God
Lesson for June 3, 19C2
'T'HE Apostle of Love, they call
*• him; and John deserves the
name. Not that love was spoken
for by him alone. Paul speaks of
love many a time, and indeed the
most famous chapter on love is
fiom Paul's kill
ings, not John’s.
And of couise Je
sus gave the clue
to both of them
when he summed
up the whole of
the Ten Com
mandments, the
summSry of God s
will for man’s
life, in two com-
Love thy God, love
mandments
thy neighbor.
God is love
However, though others had
spoken of love, and given it as a
kind of Eleventh Commandment,
or summary of all the Law, it was
left to John to say something
winch no one else, not even Jesus,
had said; God is love. This is at
the same time profound and diffi
cult, and also simple and clear.
This is not a pioposition which
can be turned end-foi-end and still
be hue. God is love, but love is
not God. Love, John says, is “of
God” or “from God” as the New
English Bible translate it. That
is, God is the source of all the
love theie is, here or m the fai
thest galaxies Love is not some
thing which human beings fiist
discovered or invented, and then
“thought-into” God. We do not
ascribe love to God; we find it
there, in him. Now' you might ex
pect, somew'here in the Bible, to
find similar statements, for in
stance that God is power, or jus
tice, or joy. But no Bible writer
ever said it. We can only thrust
our thought in the direction in
which that shoit sentence points,
“God-is love;” we cannot fathom
or fully say what it finally means.
But we may judge that love is a
better word to expiess what God
is, than those other words Power
or Justice or Joy or anything else.
We may also dare to bjehev e that

Qod is not sontlmsntal I
Perhaps it is wise to put v
something here which has otu
been said, but which seems tj
have escaped the notice of to tt
many people. The word “love"
as John uses it (not to mention
Paul and Jesifk) is not sentunen,
tal. It has nothing to do
heart-throbs or spells of emotion
When the Empeior Titus one
at a public appearance granted *
request made by a Roman P e u.
tioner, a member of the court
said to him afterwards, ‘ How
could your majesty promise th*
man what you did? It is not poj.
sible to keep that promise, is if"
“No,” the Emperor replied,
know it is not possible; but 1 did
not want the man to go away du.
appointed.” That is kindliness,
but it is not love. To take an op*,
posite example, the family of a
certain victim of polio went to
some trouble not to help the boy.
They just made him learn to help
himself in spite of his handicap.
Love, in short, is unselfish
concern,—persistent, intelligent,
working concern for others. It»
a constant and consistent attitude
rather than occasional outbursts
of emotion It is this that John
means when he talks of “abiding”
m love—living in it permanently,
maintaining this attitude in spite
of all discouragements.
No room for fear
You would expect John to eon
trast love and hate They are a
real contrast, but that is not what
John brings out. There is no fear
in love, he says. If fear and lovo
seem to live together in the heart,
John would say, that is a sign that
the love is not perfect; if it were,
the fear would vanish. This is not
to say that love casts out fear in
God—that would be an absurd
remark, for a frightened God
would be no God at all. John u
thinking of oui selves He might
even be thinking of our situation
in 1962. People are afraid, feai
stalks around the globe. But peo
ple are afraid because they do not
trust God; and they do not trust
because they do not love. If somi
one asks, “But how can I lov«
God 9 ” He does not need my help,
he does not need any looking
after. John would say this is ask
ing the wrong question first. It is
our fellow-man who- does nceil
help and sympathy. If it seemi
too high' a thing to love the God
who is love, let us begin by lovmj
those around us who are not love 1
