Yet, in these days of our own lives, we have seen man leave earth, fly into the heavens, and finally step out upen the awesome sur- face of the moon. Yes, we have seen man break his earthly bonds and have seen him actuaily free himself from his genesis. It is a time for reflection, a time to give consideration and to evaluation. It has been said, and Sun- day night’s almost unbeliev- able feat of walking on the moon tends to confirm it, that “Man has been able to control most everything bet- ter than he can control him- self.” From a purely scientific point of view, that perhaps is trué. Man has been able to do marvelous things as he continues to stumble and falter in many other areas of his existence. Yet, Sunday night in the blue mist of a magic tube, we could see man in still another aspect. Man—a tiny, infinitesimal- ly small piece of tissue so small and so frail—appeared Sunday as a giant of know- ledge and a colossus of dis- cipline. Man, in his power of ach- ievement, has attunement to the source of infinite power, was not small. Man was making the strides which have been set for him, ex- pected of him, destined for him and ordained for him. Could it not be symbolic that this event happened on a Sunday? Could it not be the same of his descent into the moon into the Sea of Tranquility? Psalm 8 — the astronauts’ Psalm — in the sixth verse says, “Thou madest him (man) to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things un- der his feet.” MAYTOWN NEWS NOTES Miss Grace Henderson Colonel Ray Smith, Vien- na, Va., spent three days last week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Smith.

The monorail is far from new! since 1901, one at Wup- pertal, Germany has carried more than a billion passeng- ers — without a single mis- hap! The Charleston & Ham- burg Railway in South Caro- lina originated the Jlocomo- tive headlights—a bonfire on a flatcar pushed ahead of the engine! Before 600 B.C., the scribes of Greece wrote left io right then up and down, then right to left. This was called “ox-turning” because it re- sembled the way an ox turn- ed when plowing a field. e Deaths MARY C. BARNHART Mrs. Mary C.
