MENDOTA, ILL.—“Someone would like to be in your shoes
the slogan five churches here have used in their effort to collect l,6oo
pairs of used but still wearable shoes for relief in Europe. This was
one phase of a city-wide Church
Loyalty Campaign. The Rev.Tru-
rnan W. Potter, minister of the
local Methodist church, and lit-
tle Miss Kay Jump, a member
of the Sunday School primary
class, make their contribution
to the pile of footwear.
In the current Christian edu-
cation emphasis of their Cru-
sade for Christ. Methodists are
endeavoring to bring more peo-
ple to the Church School where
they are taught the attitudes
and actions necessary for a
Christian world order. This in-
cludes, of course, a greater
sharing of material possessions
with the needy of all lands.

Dental Health Puppet
Show Here Dec. 15
A puppet show “Little Jack’s
Farm Show” will be given in
Seminole elementry school on
December 15th at 2:00p.m.
This show deals with the sub-
ject of dental health, and comes
to the county from the State
Department of Health, Division
of Dental Health, under the
sponsorship of the Gaines and
Yoakum Counties Health Unit,
in cooperation with local schools
and local dentists. H is written
and designed by the Good Teeth
Council for Children, of Chicago,
to impress upon the children the
importance of dental health and
its relationship to total health
and scholastic achievement.
While very impressively em-
phasizing the four fandamentals
of dental health, it in interspered
with wit, humor, dialects and
music in such a way as to fur
, nish laughter and entertainment,
as well as valuable health lessons
for chilrden. The show is given
by two highly trained teacher
‘'•puppeteers, Misses Jean Martens
and Barbara Hewes, and consists
of a miniature stage, on which
the drama is performd with hand
1 uppets. Parents and pre school
children in each school district
are invited. There will be no
admission charge.
This or a similar show has
been given high acclaim by the
schools of Texas for several
jears. The time allowed for the
show was not ‘sufficient to en
able it to make all schools of
the county, and was therefor
scheduled only to the larger
schools, where the greatest num-
ber can be reached in the limit
ed time allowed.
GEMS OF THOUGHT
Simplicity
In charater, in manners, in
Style, in all things, the supreme
excellence is simplicity.
—Longfellow
Nothing is more simple than
greatness: indeed to be simple is
to be great.
—Emerson
There is a majesty in simpli-
city which is far above the
quaintness of wit.
Pope
"Love one another” (I John,
iii. 23), is the most simple and
profound counsel of the inspired
writer.
Mary Baker Eddy
‘RETURN OF JESSE JAMES”
A LETTER came to my desk a
few weeks ago containing one
paragraph that astonished me. It
read: “At the-church con-
ference held in this southern dis-
trict a speech was made against
the profit motive." That any
American group, particularly a
religious group, should raise its
voice against .the profit motive
struck me as amazing.
To get rid of the profit motive,
you would have to find some sub-
stitute for economics in modern
.civilization. You would have to
eliminate all trading and market-
ing, buying and selling. You
'would have to get rid of money
and other mediums of exchange.
You would have to cease barter-
ing and swapping. In fact, you
would have to reduce your mod-
ern civilization to self-sufficiency
■of the individual. A modern and
complicated civilization like our
own could not do without trade,
exchange, manufacturing, raw
materials and production. You
just have to ask more than it cost
you. That is what profit means.
Just Two THERE ARE only two
Systems ways that an economy
may operate. In Amer-
ica individuals own farms, stores,
factories, and run them for the
chief purpose of making enough
profit to live on. The other way
is for government to own every-
thing, operating all production
merely for the purpose of feed-
ing the people and supplying
what it thinks are their needs.
The profit motive is the very
foundation of our American way
of life. It is the Constitutional
way in our country. It has pro-
duced more enthusiasm, finer co-
operation, and • greater abund-
ance of clothing, food, housing,
sad transportation than the
masses of the people have ever
known in any other country.
The other kind of economy,
owned and operated by the gov-
ernment, attempts to do away
with the profit motive. Actually,
it does away with incentives, indi-
vidual initiative, and efficiency.
This kind of economy soon set-
tles down to a “what’s-the-use”
status, offering only the burest
necessities to its people.
Advance RUSSIA is a good ex-
Agents? ample of this. Russia
has attempted to sub-
stitute other enthusiasms for
those of owning property and
making profit, but she has found
that whenever she wanted in-
creased industrial output, she had
to imitate some of the incentives
that are so common in America.
The very concepts of freedom
of the individual spring from tha
Bible. Therein you will find the
foundation for the freedoms and
liberties that America has built
upon. I am unable to explain
why church leaders are willing to
attack the profit motive. To do
so indicates tremendous misun-
derstanding of the American way
of life, of our constitutional gov-
ernment, and the freedoms of the
individual.
Let us not confuse greed and
sin with the profit motive. There
is nothing un-Christian, nor anti-
social in fair and honest buying
and selling and trading. One who
is against the profit motive is in
reality opposed to ownership of
property, for when the profit mo-
tive is taken away the right to
own things must go with it. It
is high time for some of our re-
ligious people to start thinking
through these things. Doing this,
perhaps they would refuse to be
used as advance agents of social-
ism and communism.
Jaycees Would Bring
Battleship Texas Home
Houston (Spl.)— Texas Jay-
roes are determined that the
Battleship Texas will come home
to the Lone Star State and upon
the( suggestion of Governor
Boauford Jester and the Battle
ship Texas Commission, will
spearhead the statewide cam
paign to raise the $225,000.00
needed, it was announced today
by John G. Flowers, Jr., of Hous-
ton. State Jaycee Chairman for
the drive.
On December 7 Pearl Harbor
Day, a Junior Chamber of Com
merce drive will be launched
all over Texas, with all 120 Jay
cee clubs participating.
For two years Texans have
been discussing plans to bring
the old battlewagon to a berth
ing at the San Jacinto Battle-
grounds, but so far only a small
portion of the $225,000.00 need
ed has been raised. The Jaycees
hope to reach that goal by Jan.
17.
At an organization meeting
held recently in Houston, pre
sided over by State Jaycee Presi-
dent Frank Butler of Temple,
Texas, Lloyd Gregory, Chair
man of the Battleship Texas
Commission, turned over the
fund raising campaign to the 120
Jaycee clubs.
State Campaign Chairman
Flowers says that the clubs will
begin a determined drive
December 7, soliciting from or-
ganizations, schools, and every
Texan. School children will be
asked to bring their contribu
tions on December 8, since Pearl
Harbor Day falls on Sunday this
year.
