In the dining room the ta ble was covered with a lace cloth and centered with an arrangement of mountain laurel flanked by white tapers in crystal holders. The vows were spoken before an improvised altar against which ivy and fotima foliage were used. Tall floor baskets holding • pink roses stood on either side of the altar. Candles on the mantel were light ed by Miss Helen Wiley, sister of the bride, and Nathan Brazell, brother of the bridegroom, just prior to the ceremony.

There was no sMch thing as “private property” < ept that a man doubtless had priority over a certain stone axe, the bearskin on his back, and his wife—maybe! Today zebras, ants, elephants and fish live this way: And if we hu mans adopt the philosophy of a certain Mr. Karl Marx, we will eventually retrogress to that rather enervating type of existence. & Now a life in which no one had to think much, but in which one is assigned his daily toil—such as picking potatoes or stitching button holes in communal shirts—and— from the age of say 70, is privileged to stop picking potatoes ahd to spend the balance of his earthly existence in. a nice comfortable easy chair, surrounded by other re tired “intelligentia” — might be gratifying to certain of the senses. But one of the catches in this jolly old theory is that someone does have to think; someone has to “Run the show” and must “think” to do so. Of course this thinker can’t oper ate the whole shebang all by him self: So he gathers around him other thinkers to help him, and be fore a great while these thinkers gain control over the button hole makers and become the “ruling class.” Eventually — being mere humans ‘ after all — they are tempted to use their prerogatives in ways other than those enunciated by said Mr. Marx. They acquire unto themselves gold and castles and lands and other riches and lux uries; and they force the potato picker to give them more than their proper share of tubers. And finally the tuber extractors and the button holers get bored because the think ers want more potatoes and shirts than they can possibly use. So they rise upon their hind legs—to use a metaphor — and liquidate the thinkers and thus avoid any further argument. The modem word for this process of elimination is “realism.” And so the world rolls back again, and a whole new crop of thinkers has to be redeveloped over a long period of time, and then the same process is repeated. Some men who were fed up with this ring around a rosy game over here and started a system which gave each in- ) dividual the right, and the ' opportunity, to think, or to pick ! potatoes, or to run a gasoline station, or to become Ronald Coleman. They concocted a set * of principles which they called ,1 the Constitution of the United ;l States and which a prime min- ister of England once termed, i “The greatest work ever > struck off at a given time by the mind and purpose of man.** We’ve been slipping a little, in the last few decades, on the prin ciples enunciated in that almost perfect charter, and have laid ourselves open to the machinations of a type of “borer” which lies in wait for weakened “bodies politic.’* In this case the borers call them selves Communists — but that is just a name to excite the imagina tion of potential potato pickers, but ton hole stichers and others who be lieve life would be easier just pick ing and stitching without having to think. These visionaries should be informed however that the borers are not Communists in the true sense of the word. A real Com munist—if there is such a thing— is, according to Mr. Marx, a self less sort of chap who is inter ested in the welfare of his fellow beings and who maintains an age old—though never for long success ful. honor of being voted the most de pendable and the best all round student and citizen in school and also has a record of perfect at tendance, as he hasn’t missed a day during the entire eleven years.
