We didn’t write anything, Grace, to stop the sale of dresses. We didn’t know until today that dun- garees and blue jeans are the same thing. We couldn't do anything that would change a kid's en- semble. - We wouldn't try if we could, we like the way they dress. You could, though, if you adver- tise your dresses, we're sure, move them. We are telling you this little secret because we like you. We don’t know that we have ever met you personally except sitting behind you one night at an ice skating follies, but every time we go into your store and ask if you have seen our wife you are very nice to us and tell us where she has gone. You know Dallas is the darnest place for a woman to disappear. In the time it takes to go to the bank and get a haircut at Charlie’s our wife has vanished and you have always been able to help us find her. We think, Grace, that there is no use in your worrying about what people wear or what they do.

Give the kids a field day in blue jeans and you'll discover soon that they will come back to dresses. The other night Dallas Township school had a Sadie Hawkins’ dance. Did the kids come dressed up? They did not. They were all in blue jeans. It’s the rage. It's nice. We weren't trying last week to encourage kids to wear blue jeans to church. We were merely stat- ing that God or the ministers may not mind; if more kids came to church, it wouldn't matter how they dressed. Kids today do what they please, and what most of them do pleases us. We are exasperated at those who sigh: “What is this world coming to’. Some oldsters delight in picking out instances where a kids go to a gin mills, get a few drinks and then wind up in an accident. They forget that for every kid who drinks there's an adult who serves it. For every kid in an automobile accident, there is an adult who loaned the car. For every youngster in trouble there are thousands home studying lessons in blue jeans. Dungarees are a badge of respectivility. We like ’em. When a girl dons blue jeans for -an amusement park date she means to have good, clean fun. We are sorry, Grace, that your dresses are not selling faster, but we are not sorry about the dress manufacturers. It is time, in our opinion, that some one is doing something to cause those birds to worry about sales. It is time that we get a $10 dress for ten dollars as we used to, and not: have to pay fifteen for it. You would like to see those days come back too, Grace, and thank God we have the kids to show the way. County Rally Held Monthly meeting of Luzerne County Y, T.

Mr. Pine suggested visiting the library and, not realizing that it is closed on Mondays, Mrs, Kiefer drove him down. Unable to gain admittance at the front door, Pine went around back, entered, beck- oned Mrs, Kiefer and they en- joyed looking over the many volumes. Mr. Pine, a famous book- dealer throughout the country for many years, expressed ad- miration for the physical lay- out and the quality and quan- tity of reading and educational matter on the shelves and was high in his praise of the li- brary.

Morgan = = What can religion contribute to our personal hygiene? It was not so long ago that question. was asked for the first time, but in recent months the same question has been asked in many volumes and answered in many ways. However, the most meaningful proposal still seems to have been given in that first vol- ume—‘“Peace of Mind” by the late Dr. Joshua Leibman. Not so long ago we participated in a panel discussion on the topic of Christianity and the part it can play in establishing world order. At that time we came to the con- clusion that the possibility for world betterment may well lie with the church, but that assuredly the possibility for peace of mind lies within ourselves. That's what makes this little volume of Doctor Leibman’s so significant. Certainly, as Dr, Leibman clearly points out, peace of mind is not! something that can be purchased | at your corner drug store— or at § any other of our -all-purposeful’ twentieth century establishments. Nor is it something that we can buy as we do nostrums or pana- ceas. . Education does not neces- sarily give it to us, nor does en- tertainment, Some sick personal- ities seek it through alcoholism, or barbituates, or sensuous indulgen- ces, but they don’t find it that way, either, How then are we to achieve] premise of Dr. Leibman, it's by} the fusion of religion and phychol- ogy. Although a rather new idea when first proposed, the. idea has caught on. Not only have there been these numerous books already mentioned, but radio programs and even movies with the same general concept. As this outstanding Jewish thinker saw it, what mankind to- day needs is a faith that will com- bine the substance of the old with the light of the new. There is much to be said for this point of view. The arguments for it are impressive, particularly if religion is to make headway against what might be called “post- Darwinian materialism”. But no matter what it's called and no matter how organized church groups may look upon this think- ing, in the mind of the individual there is an urgent and desperate need for some such peace of mind. So much for his major conten- tion—now let's look at some of the details. The book get down to particulars in chapters dealing with the part which conscience must play in our attitudes and thinking; the related psychotic phenomena of repression and sublimation; the need for mastering our fears; the psychological value of grief, and many other problems—all of them important if we are to understand ourselves, Frankly, much of the book is tre- mendously stimulating. For ex- ample, there is Dr. Leibman’s an- alysis of the historical develop- ment of religion from its very or- igins at a time when man was just emerging from barbarian infancy up to relatively modern times. An historical evolution out of which has unfortunately grown—at least unfortunately for man’s peace of mind—a morbid, guilt-ridden atti- tude. It is the author’s belief, there- fore, that a more tolerant conscious pattern, one not fixated on an im- mature level of right and wrong, is essential for the inner peace of normal adults. Above all, normal men and women must recognize the fact that they do possess trust- worthy consciences and they must learn to trust their consciences just as they do their eyes, nerves, and digestion. Theoretically, as Dr, Leibman points out, religion wishes to make | men serene and inwardly peace- ful by teaching a loving and for-: giving God. That is fine, but in practice, isn't there too much gid (Continued on Page Seven) LOOK FOR ME AT THE DALLAS HARDWARE ~~ Barnyard Notes Jim Kozemchak brought us a gallon of the best sweet cider we ever tasted. Jim got the recipe from the Department of Agriculture and uses just the proper blend of Baldwins, Spys and other apples when he goes to press. : Pepper, the little Spaniel that owns Clyde Cooper's family, is a patient at Dr. George Flack’s animal hospital. She has a sore throat and influenza. We miss her mornings on our way to work. Usually she crawls across the lawn on her belly to weedle a pat on the head when we're too busy to say “Good morning” to other folks. A pair of nuthatches, a dozen chickadees and a couple of blue jays, thrown in for good measure, have practically exhausted our crop of sunflower seeds—and the winter hasn’t begun. Guess we talked too much about our pet skunk, We haven't seen hide nor hair of him since we wrote about him. Back Mountain skunks are publicity shy while their city cousins steal the head- lines. But this one needn’t worry, He's safer in the Barnyard than his cousins. Saw a beautiful buck the other evening. If he’s wise he’ll wan- der over to the Barnyard and keep the skunk company until after hunting season. Peanuts are $1.10 for three pounds. Hope the gray squirrel will appreciate that the next time he jabbers from the apple tree out- side our window at 6 a.m, Stripes has two beautiful kittens. Her litters are smarter as she grows older. These are going to have a good home with Mrs. Paul Nulton at Beaumont. Myra will miss them—but not for long. Stripes never lets her mistress down, Clipped the wings of the white rock pullets the other evening by flashlight. Don’t know who is the more disappointed—the hens or our mother-in-law, There was nothing she enjoyed more than to tell us “the hens are out” when we were in the middle of the even- ing paper or potting a geranium, First time we clipped their wings, we clipped both of them. They flew out anyway. The next time we clipped only one wing on each bird. Now they fly lopsided and get discouraged. Never seem to be on schedule, Just got through potting the hyacinths, tulips and daffodils. It should have been done a month ago. They'll probably come on about the time the others bloom in the yard. : Once, though, we were on time. It was in college. Lost two hours credit for taking too many chapel cuts. Next semester resolved to go to chapel every morning, Did. Got all our required attendance in and could have stayed in bed every morning for the rest of the semester, That was - when the college abolished compulsory chapel. The distance from the Barn to the Post is more exciting than 42nd Street. Funny how the world narrows as you grow older. Some- times a fellow becomes dissatisfied when he realizes that men his age are running the world. But if he looks at the job they are doing, he has no cause for envy. Harry Truman would probably make a better farmer than President. And he never was as good a merchant as a lot of fellows on Main Street—and Margaret, well we've heard better voices in the Methodist Choir, but they never got the build up. ¢ WORLDWIDE BIBLE READING .
