I were risitlng relatires here and in OUR OWN BACK YARD “Thfe wisest thing, we suppose, that a man can do f<» his land is the work that lies under his nose w^ the tools that lie under his hand,’* We may not be a king as ^ of whom Kipling wrote. We may be only “little'* people without influence or power; But the slogan applies to us—-wherever we live, whatever we do. A few of you will remember how Edward Bok started tify America a lifetime ago. He didn’t urge ex- out to beautify America a lifetime ago travagant plans, to accomplish the end at the beginning. It wasn’t a great campaign. But as a result of his work, roses began to grow where there were weeds and our little towns became garden spots. All he did was to get people to beauti fy their own back yards. We all know how one rundown house will depreciate the property value of an entire street. And how fixing up one place is contagious—^making all property on the street more valuable. What has this to do with us today? Well, maybe we are wandering around Robin Hood’s bam—^but we are getting right back to the postwar period—and to personal responsi- 1^1 iiy. How your town handles the situation of jobs for return ing veterans, postwar unemployment, conversion of factories to peace Ume production—have a Tot to do with th*e way idi ■ the nation and the world handles the same problems. If you keep friendliness alight, if you keep up the habit of working together, if you, like the pioneers who founded America, solve your problems iii a neighborly, cooperative spirit,* there is a lot better chance for the nation—and for the world. - .

Roy Watkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henr;f Watkins, is at home on fiu*- lough. Miss Donsola Mr.Iaughlln of Tan- This is the duty of the little people in the little towns— of you and me and our friends and- neighbors. We must beau tify our own back yards and make our community a living proof of what conscientious,^cooperative planning can do. We must prove that we are just as intelligent in time of peace aa in time of war, that we care just as much about our neigh bors as we do about our Allies, that poverty, destitution, want, pmecution at home move us to action as much as these same things stir us when they are thousands of miles away. Unless we can retain war time unity, unless with our advantages we can demonstrate the four freedoms in America, they can not be made secure any place in the world. We don’t have to do the whole job at once. All we have to do is our part of it—all we have to do is to clean up our own back yard. There are two kinds of women; those who never have house guests and those who yearn for another bathroom. To keep heirs from quarreling, let one divide the estate in equal parts and let the other have first choice. - -'V th« Preabyterian church,*to on* roeation.!
