You Know Me
Grace Cave told our wife that
she was sore at us for writing
about blue jeans, Of course she
was only kidding, but in all seri-
ousness she did say that dresses
are not moving because the kids
are going for dungarees.
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.
The best thing is to go along with

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.

visitor to the Back Mountain
Memorial Library last Mon-
day afternoon.
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.

“Peace of Mind”
Joshua Leibman
Reviewed by Roy E. 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

~~ 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.
