WPA FUNDS SOUGHT
BY COUNTY TO BUILD
WATER LINE TO HOME
County Commissioners John Thom- |
as, Jr., Frank P. Hollern, and Lillian |
D. Keller Tuesday afternoon filed an |
application with the WPA for funds |
to construct a water line from the |
western end of Ebensburg borough to |
the County Juvenile Home on the Wil- |
liam Penn Highway. The proposed line
would be 1.4 niiles long and would be
built of four and six inch mains. It
would connect with the Ebensburg
borough water system. At present the
county is dependent on wells at the
home for the water supply.

buffalo and a domestic cow, is a hardy
stock animal with valuable hide, but
breeding these animals is very diffi-

THE UNION
PRESS-COURIER,
THE SOWER
A Weekly Department of Religious
and Secular Thought Contributed
by REV. JAMES A. TURNER,
Pastor, M. E. Church, Patton, Pa.
A man in front of him said: iH
Roosevelt gets another term, there
won’t be any business. I think the
man is crazy. He's a traitor to his
class, been living on inherited money
since he was a baby.
The same idea was repeated over
and over again in different words, but
the same fighting, angry tones. Finally
“CAST OUT YOUR DEVILS.”
A recent book which every intelli-
gent person who is in the habit of
thinking for himself will enjoy read-
ing is Alfred M. Uhler's book, “Cast
Out Your Devils.” Of this book a com-
mentator says: “The modern devils of
man are no little red imps, but the
withering forces of melancholia, in-
feriority, sexual maladjustment, ha-
tred and egocentricity. The Hell of
today is man in conflict with himself
—and it is from this point of view that
Alfred Uhler, a practicing psychologist
associated with Dr. David Seabury,
has written his invaluable book.”
Just to stimulate a desire to get
the thought provoking things that the
the though provoking things that he
says—and every other page is intense-
ly interesting:
“Gelett Burgess coined a popular
phrase when he asked the seemingly
harmless question: ‘Are you a bro-
mide?’ But when he made his mean-
ing clear, national humor took a new
turn. Columns appeared in the papers
on the subject and discussion was end-
less.
We can look at ourselves profitably
with Burgess’ penetrating glance. Are
we bromidic, or are we trying to be
ourselves and therefore different from
other people? According to Burgess,
the sulphides are the people who lea-
ven the mass of dough we call the
race. The bromides keep it static by
their acceptance of everything as it is,
was, or ever has been. Life demands
that everyone fulfill
pattern of growth. The growing indi-
vidual should accept whatever he can
of the conventions, but what he can-
not should never be compromised with.
Nature did not design the Blue Laws
of New England.
Ephriam Winter was a rich ship
owner in Massachusetts during the
Civil War. He had voted for Lincoln
and had seen no reason to change his
opinion about the man who freed the
slaves. He admired him greatly. But
Ephriam came to be considered a par-
iah among his wealthy friends, who
hated Lincoln and his damn radical
views Property rights were in danger
and men saw red when they thought
their holdings were threatened. Eph-
riam became an outcast from the little
shouting herd that walked angrily ab-
out Beacon Hill.
John Winter, Ephriam’s grand-son,
entered the smoking car and took a
seat with a fellow townsman. As the
train moved along he became aware of
two more acquaintances of his in the
seat ahead. They were talking loudly
about the errors of the New Deal. He
caught the words: “Damn lot of college
professors, who never earned a cent of
money in their lives. What do they
know about business?’
The man sitting pesic= John broke
in: ‘You're damn right. I've just been
down to Washington and talked to the
head man for the meat business. That's
my business. They're soaking us a cent
and a half on every pound of meat we
process. We're lucky if we make a
cent and a half a pound profit. I told
him so, but he went off into a lot of
theorectical bilge. I told him he was
driving us out of business.’ He glared
at space as the conversation became
general. Winter remained quiet.
his particular |
= | the cther three men became suspicious-
ly aware of Winter's silence. One of
them turned to him and said, “Don’t
you think so, Winter?’
Winter regretted having to speak,
because he knew what he believed
would make no difference except to
himself. However, he had to say some-
thing and he was not a trimmer. He
answered, ‘No, I do not agree with
you. I think we can no longer evade
the issue that we can’t have any bus-
iness unless we have someone to buy
what is manufactured. The worker, at
present, can’t purchase anything but
what is necessary for the barest liv-
ing. I think Roosevelt is right in his
aims, and that far from cursing him,
you should pray for him as the only
hope you have left. He's your best
friend.
The other three looked at him in-
creduously. One of them said ‘Why
you're a damned Commnuist’ From
that moment he was excluded from
the angry conversation. He had dared
to oppose the herd, or at least that
little wolf-pack that ran riot in Over-
look, and from that time on he was a
marked man, a pariah, and unclean.
John Winter had foreseen the out-
come, but unwillingly he boiled at
this exhibition of mass rage. He retir-
ed more and more into himself but
anger burned constantly within him.
As we looked at this case from the
impersonal standpoint of modern psy-
chology, where politics is not con-
sidered, it appears as an example of
the individual urge of one man ag-
ainst the mass opinion of the societly
in which he finds himself.
The same incident could have occur-
red in another community where Mr.
Roosevelt was in favor and another
disagreed with his policies. Whenever
a man thinks for himself he usually
has to oppose the persecuting spirit of
the herd.
The basic reason for this herd opin-
ion is fear ,the emotion which makes
\ nen congregate in large groups. Men,
being herd animals ,feel safe when
they are together and most of them
live in this fashion. Any question of
the sanctity of social opinion is felt
to be an attack on the safety of the
mass. This is the reason for the vir-
ulence with which they treat anyone
who disagrees. As the mass mind is
always less developed than the indi-
vidual, its opinion resembles that of
an earlier stage of individual life—in
this case boyhood instead of maturity,
retaining the barbaric qualities of the
child.”
It will repay you in large dividends
to purchase or borrow the book and
read it. It will start you to thinking,
—and acting—in a higher sphere of
idealism.
