Lehman Avenue YOUR TOWN It’s your town! Are you boosting or knocking it? Are the things which you do and which you say about your town a help or a hindrance? Do you welcome visitors or freeze them? You reflect your town. Do your : know that your town is a go-getter because of you? If there is a cancerous growth in your town, do you, by chance, contenance covering it up or com- pletely airing it and in so doing cure it? You are either for the town or against 2 it. Your town is either better because you live for it or it lives in spite of you. s CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 4 The newly organized down-town Chamber of Commerce, while still young, is nevertheless showing very definite earmarks that it is truly a Wyoming Valley Chamber, rather than just a Wilkes-Barre Chamber. The aim of the ~ Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce is to better the conditions of the 1 valley as a whole and of the sister towns individually, which includes Dallas and all the Uppper West Side. Howard Strong, councillor of the Chamber, in talking to large groups of interested and active business and professional men of this section, inessence said: “The world is progressing so fast that every individual, every town and city must be in high speed gear just to maintain its relative position.” Any business or professional man or woman of ths section is welcome to membership in the Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce. There are many citizens who are searching for light and truth, ‘who honestly want their community to grow hoth. larger and better. The Chamber would very willingly co-operate in such a search and would carry the weight and approval of more than a quarter million people in whatever # activity it endorsed. The Chamber is truly a Wyoming Valley institution, a = sisterhood of some twenty distinct communities co-operatively blended. £ International Sunday School Lesson or : FOR AUGEST 4 fs DANIEL AMONG THE LIONS Daniel 6:10, 11, 166-23 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Stories from Dauiel’s life have a fascination for children and continue to give great teaching lessons also to those of older years. As a book of ro- ~~ mance the Bible reveals the truth that is stranger than fiction. Joseph became prime minister in Egypt because of his inmate worth and the sarme is true of Daniel in Babylon. As he had been a marked man under he Chaldean rule so he was preferred by DaWrius the Mede, who became the conqueror. The government organization consisted of 120 satraps with or ‘three presidents. “Daniel was the leading president. The fact that he was a Jew led to much jealousy by the other officials and they planned to do ‘away with him if passible. . Religion offered the one sure ground of attack, for these evil men were certain’ what Daniel would always do in his relationship with God. With Daniel's dependable habits in mind it was agreed at the caucus to appeal to ‘the king’s pride and propose that a decree be promulgated forbidding anyone pray during thirty days except as Darius was the object of their ap- “gcach. The penalty for disobedience was to be cast into the den of lions. = Sypers were watching Daniel who had the known habit of praying to ~ Jehovah at least three times a day. He would open the wndows in the direc- tion of Jerusalem, 500 'miles away as the airplane now flies, and kneel devoutly in his approach to the Throne of Jehovah. The decreg did not change his 3 heart attitude in any way, and when the next prayer time came, he just pray “as he did aforetime.” God was continuously gracious to him and he ‘naturally “Gave thanks before his God.” Prayer was an essential part of his ~ life and not a spasm when in fear because of some special need. Then the ; plotters forced the king; to order Daniel to the den of lions. > Daniel ‘was the coolest in the crowd. He feared to dishonor God far more ok than to face the lions. Here wias but another place for prayer. himself to his Father, then said, “Amen,” and was ready for sleep. He may have used a lion's shaggy skin for a soft pillow.

This is the time of year that your employer “ has set aside to give his office workers a chance for compelte relaxation and rest. Every wise employer realizes the truth in the words: “All work and “no pray make Jack a dull boy.” And so he says to you: ‘Take and enjoy these two weeks and forget everything connected with the office.” How are ~ you going! to spend that vacation? Will it be a well balanced period of rest and play, giving your mind and body a chance to rebuild the worn and broken - down tissues Or will it drain you mentally and physically so that you re- turs to your duties exhausted and irritable because your time is up? Which is fair—both to employer and yougself? And which is really most fun in the long run? ‘With a little forethought it is entirely possible to combine the pleasure | you seek with the right kind of living. There is no better tonic or medcine in the world than good, wholesome, clean fun. And there, is no more destruc- tive poison than that type of enjoyment that saps your vitality and weakens | your physical and moral resistance. Here arer a few dos and donts that will | “help you to get the most out of your vacation and will in no way spoil your ~ good time: x Don’t choose a place simply because it is popular and someone has told you will have a “wonderful time” there. Don’t gauge its desirability by its costliness. There are many unostentatious summer resorts that are much more desirable and less expensive. Don’t go to a place unless you Know ‘beforehand that they serve fresh vegetables and plenty good milk. A great many sunrner hotels and boarding houses buy up quantities of canned foods. ~~ Don’t go to a place where they are overcrowded and where your accommoda- tions will be cramped and uncomfortable. : The ideal vacation is the one spent out of doors, although camping should not be considered unless you are well equipped against inclement weather. If ~ you are unaccustomed to violet exercist and athletics don’t overdo. Beware of fatigue! Make ‘it a point to lie down for at least an hour during the afternoon. Get to bed every night by eleven o'clock; if you can make it ten, all the better, for it is during our sleeping moments that Nature does her most valuable reconstruction work. ‘ Take daily baths, but take them gadually and avoid severe sunburn. Don’t keep thinking} about how many more days you have before you must return to work. It will make you restless and dissatisfied. Don’t get the idea that you can exercise all day iand dance all night day after day for two weeks and not be a physical wreck ate the end of that time. ; Above all: Don’t let your vacation cost you in lost energy and health what you could never buy with dollars and rents. The prime purpose of your vacation is to bring you the greatest amount of happiness and the highest degree of physical benefits. It is an arranzement designed for the mutual benefit of employer and employee. It is your playtime, but he has every right He entrusted |. , —Huntsville- Rev. and Mrs. Tr are again on the faculty at Kueka Park, N.
