A MAN'S HOME
The time may be coming when little children in England
will point to houses in their storybooks and ask what
they are. "They are homes," will be the reply, "and
once almost everyone could own one. Now they're a
luxury for the rich." A spokesman for the Building
Societies Association estimates that a new house in
Britain now sells for about $20,000. If that is too steep,
a prospective buyer may obtain a loan over 25 to 30
years at 9 percent interest to help pay for it, but he
must be earning approximately SI25 a week before he
will be awarded the loan. Since only one in 10
Englishmen earns that much, a house of his own must
remain only a dream for most people.
Ah, the joys of English socialism! We'll take the
Americon system, with all of its faults, anyday. At least
here the phrase, "A man's home is his castle'' is more
than just a colorful cliche-at least so far it is.
FREEDOM TASTES GOOD
Americans are a funny people. One minute we're
cursing the high cost of living, then we turn around and
*ell the joke about the lady who went into the butcher
shop, took one look at the price of liver and exclaimed,
I want it for dinner...not a transplant." Or we tack
bumper stickers on our cars urging the impeachment of
everyone from the President to the city librarian, yet let
a foreign country denounce the U. S.. and a burst of
outrage is sure to explode from many a citizen's lips.
Ves, we Americans are a stubborn, irascible,
crczy-bunch-proud of our country and able to laugh at
ourselves and our troubles. We will defend our precious
Constitutional rights such as freedom of speech to the
death, if need be, while we're complaining obout those
nuts in Congress. People in most other lands would
never be able to understand these seeming
contradictions. To understand them is to know how good
freedom really tastes.

The Sabine Baptist Associa-
tion was organized November
1843 at Old North Church,
Nacogdoches, Texas with five
churches. In 1847 to 1850, this
association was dissolved.
Three different groups came
out of this association. They
are: 1 The Louisiana and
Texas Regular Predestinarían
Baptist Association was or-
ganized on 8 Nov. 1844. It later
became South Eastern Reg-
ular Predestinarían Baptist
Association in 1847.
2 The Free Will Missionary
Baptist Association was or-
ganized before 1850. I have no
further reference to this as-
sociation.
3. The Eastern Missionary
Baptist Association was or-
ganized on Dec. 3, 1847. In 1848,
it changed its name to the Soda
Lake Baptist Association.

We have a new member of
the Rusk Lions Club, Mr.
Richard Cooper the new
Chamber of Commerce man-
ager. This young man is
transferring from a Lions Club
from Florida, we think.
Lion Ike Daniel presented
some very lovely young ladies
as our program last Thursday.
We think that he is trying to
steal some ideas from others
concerning programs They
were the Rusk High School
Sextet composed of Miss Susan
Harper. Pat Armstrong. Nan-
cy Lindley. Angela Carey. Dori
Pye. Janet Miley and accom-
panist on piano. Nancy Poole.
They sang the following
numbers: "Let There Be
Peace On Earth.' "He' and
then a solo by Miss Nancy
Lindley "Master Designer''
playing the piano as she sang.
Then a solo by Miss Angela
Carey "I Wish We Had All
Been Ready' Another solo by
Miss Susan Harper Yester-
day. Today & Tomorrow " and
she also played the piano The
entire group closed the pro-
gram with "Autumn Leaves'.
They were under the direction
of Mrs. Gloria Dotson and their
selections were introduced by-
Miss Susan Harper. It is
certainly amazing the beauty
and talent that we have in our
city. Certainly is a shame that
Lion Ike had to be the one that
brought this program.
A report on the skating rink
is that it will be open right
away, maybe already, and that
many new things will be added.
Repairs are being made to the
rink and also the skates and
it will be under new manage-
ment. The deal is, as we
understand it. that if things
work out real well that a
permanent type skating rink
will be constructed and the tent
will be sold. This is something
that the Lions can well be
proud of and look forward to.
Our State Representative the
Honorable Emmett Whitehead
made it big the other day. A
large picture in the Dallas
Morning News. How can you
beat that'' Then the write up
about the Arts and Crafts Fair
in "Southern Living" maga-
zine-people are beginning to
hear about Rusk We certainly
need to help our new Chamber
of Commerce manager in
anyway that we can It does not
make any difference if you
employ the best manager in
the State of Texas-he cannot
succeed unless the people of
the city give him a program of
work to accomplish and help
him do the job. One man just
can't do it.
The month of October is
membership month and we
need some seven new Lions.
We are not just interested in
numbers but in workers also. If
you know of a good prospect
contact Lion JoEd Anderson
chairman of the Membership
and Attendance committee for
the proper blanks, etc.
A beautiful woman walked
past three men of different
occupations. "Oh Lord," said
the physicist "what an ar-
rangement of molecules." "Oh
Lord," said the orchestral
leader, "what a classic move-
ment." "Oh Lord," said the
clergyman.

For those readers looking for
escape reading, interesting but
not mind-stretching, your li-
brary has recently received
books you will enjoy.
"Alfred Hitchcock Presents:
Stories to be Read With the
Lights On" is one. Hitchcock
says of the 37 chilling exercises
in the art of murder and
suspense; "The stories should
be read at night only if you are
an incurable insomniac and
cannot sleep anyway. The
contents of this volume are
hardly relaxing. Startling,
horrifying perhaps, certainly
entertaining."
And fans of Anne Mayberry
will be happy to know her new
book "The Midnight Dancers"
is in. Victoria Holt says, "I
think this is Anne Mayberry's
best book to date. The suspense
of the story and the desire to
know what happens next are
enhanced by the exotic setting.
The reader can fill the harsh
sunlight, see the brilliant
colors and sense the sinister
mystery of the North African
scene."
A first-rate tale of romance
and suspense is "Moonraker's
Bride," by Madeleine Brent.
The story leads a courageous
young Englishwoman through
the mysterious world of China
on the brink of the Boxer
Rebellion, into the lives of a
well-to-do family in England,
and finally to the Moonrakers.
"Dear Jesus, I'm So Hu-
man," by Rosanna Nelson is a
different kind of inspirational
book. It seeks to be "down to
earth, but up to God,"
acknowledging both the stri-
ving of all Christians to be
more like Jesus and the human
frailities that too frequently
get in the way. Written in the
form of letters to Jesus, in a
relaxed, conversational man-
ner, with the thought in mind of
bringing Him up to date about
everyday happenings in life.
Thanks to Mrs. Marge
Hunter and Mrs. Marvin
Pitman for book donations.

A church is unlike any other tjroup of people A fellowship or club. as a rule, implies an association
