PAGE EIGHT FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1»*4 THE NEWBERRY SUN TODAY TOMORROW\ -ly- I FRANK PARKER I 1ST O.C K BRIDGE I INDIANS friends Near the ancient church in my old home town in Massachusetts is the Indian burying ground. A rough- hewn obelisk bears a bronze plate inscribed “to the friends of our Fa- isaij oqu jo stilrepuoosaa „' sjaqt white settlers placed it there, as a tribute to the kindly tribe of the Mo hicans, the Stockbridge Indians. This old New England town is celebrating this month the 2l)0th an niversary of its establishment as the first community in America to give Indians equal rights of citizenship with the English colonists. The first Board of Selectmen of Stockbridge, elected in 1739, consisted of two In dian chiefs, Konkapot and Umpa- chene, and one Englishman, Ephraim Williams. By 1799 the failure of the attempt to impose European civilization on the Indians was apparent, even to the Indians. They drifted westward and the last remnants of their tribe now live in Wisconsin. The English settlers prospered. Ephraim Williams founded Williams College. The col onists paid the Indians for their land, but the Indians did not understand the value or use of money. Few In dians know anything about handling money today. RELIGION .... conformity The Mohican Indians were hunt- ers who were glad to trade their beaver-skins for the rum which the white men brought them. My wife’s ancestor, Jehoiakim van Valken- burgh, and my own ancestor, Charles Stockbridge, whose name the town bears, did a thriving trade with the Indians for years before earnest young missionaries from Yale Col lege came up to Christianize the peo ple of the Housatonic Valley. Many Indians professed conver- osin and were baptized into the church. It now seems doubtful that they ever grasped or accepted the rigid Calvinistic doctrines of Puritan New England. It is certain that they were unruly under the harsh disci pline of the church. John Sergeant, the devoted young minister, died af ter ten years of disiheartening efforts to wean the Mohicans away from their pagan practices and their fond ness for the traders’ rum. Religion, to the missionaries, me^nt conformity in outward appearances to the standards of the teachers of religion, as much as it meant spiritu al regeneration. The Indians of Stockbridge preferred to live in wig wams instead of houses, and to go unclothed in summer. CIVILIZATION . . . tolerance To me there seems to be a paral lel between the failure of his first organized, effort in America to civil ize the Indians and the efforts of powetful nations to conquer or ab sorb weaker nations composed of peo ple of a different race and tradition. The roots of all the present warlike manifestations throughout the world lie, I believe, in the assertion of su periority of one race over others, and the attempt to make the so-called in ferior race conform to the standards of the other. We have learned a lesson in Am erica. We no longer try to make In dians live like white men or adopt the white men’s religion and cus toms. So long as they do not behave contrary to the universal code of mo rals, which is essentially letting other people’s lives, property, and customs alone, the American Indians today are not only permitted, but en couraged to maintain their ancient tribal customs and beliefs. I think they are much more civil ized, on the whole, than some of the peoples of Europe—or their rulers. COLONIZATION . . int-rference The reason the English are the most successful colonial administra tors is that they do not interfere with native manners, habits, or re ligion. It took them a long time to learn. tolerance, but in the British colonies all over the world the maxim of Thomas Jefferson that “the best government is the one that governs least” seems to be the rule. Spain was once the world’® great est colonial power. She lost her colonies because she tried to make natives into Spaniards. Her little neighbor, Portugal, is still a great colonial power because she does not try to change the colonists into some different kind of people. Germany is notoriously the world’s worst man ager of colonies. Its colonial gover nors are arrogant, domineering and wholly lacking in respect for native beliefs and customs. Two races cannot live on the same soil without constant friction and con flict unless each recognizes that the other has an equal right to live, act, and believe as its racial inheritance impels it. LESSON peace If there is one lesson the world should have learned by this time it is that peace is never achieved by conquest but only by tolerance. Some groups, many individuals, have learn ed that. To a degree some nations and their rulers have at least got a glimmer of that truth. It is the ones which have not grasped it that are making all the trouble in the world. The lesson of tolerance is not learned wholesale. It is arrived at one by one, as individual after indi vidual discovers his own true place in the scheme of things. Men Who find that place recognize that they are no better than other men. They find it by abandoning selfishness, ha treds, and dishonesty. A great and swooping movement for peace is sweeping over the world, led by groups of men and women who believe and teach that the' salvation of the world lies not in guns, but in the hearts of people. Lt is called “Moral Rearmament.” You will hear of it, if you have not already. If enough individuals are morally arm ed, the world will need no other ar maments. There is no other road to peace. Not only will paint make your place more attractive, but it will pre~ serve it against the ravages of sun and rain ^nd save you many a repair bill. If you do not have the money, it will pay you to borrow and protect your home. Do It Today! Winter is just around the cor^ per, and if your home needs painting, it may not stand another winter without considerable damage to the woodwork. You cannot do less than investigate the low cost of a good paint job* We will be glad to assist you in getting a loan to do your work if you so de^ sire.

Fall vegetables must be planted in time. Every day counts, as one day’s delay is one link nearer “Jack Frost.” Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. De caying vegetables and plants are like ly to increase disease and insect da mage next season, Gathering vegetables, fruits, and flowers when ready encourages long er bearing. Sweet com loses some of its su gar if gathered and allowed to stand long enough to wilt before cooking. Fall tomatoes usually bring a good price on the market. If all the fruit fails to ripen before frost, it can be kept far into the winter wrapped in paper and laid away in a cool, dark place. Plants set now will mature fruit before frost. Use strong stocky plants and retain all the soil possible on the roots. Set deeply and pour a pint of water around roots and cover with thick layer of dry soil. One thing should be attended to promptly when growing rutabagas and that is to thin them to a stand just as soon as possible. This should be done when the plants are not over 2 inches high. Give them plenty of distance, leaving them 8 to 10 inches apart in the drill, one in a place. This prompt thinning will prevent them from becoming shanky. Plants will then be stocky and roots well shaped. Remember that consecutive plant ing every 15 or 21 days keeps a sup ply of crisp vegetables for the home table and for the market when one is available. The Non-Layers The best time to cull the average flock is in July and August. At this time of the year the good hens are still at work while the loafers have stopped for the season. Records have shown that it does not pay to keep a cull hen over a period of time in order to receive a higher price. When a hen stops laying she usual ly starts molting. The later a hen lays in the summer and fall the great er will be her yearly egg production, so that the high producer is the late layer and hence the late molter. The early molting hen is the “short-time” or poor layer as most hens cannot grow feathers and lay at the same time. Contrary to general belief, the early molter does not make the winter layer. If you want a circular on cull ing, ask for Circular 113, How to Tell Laying Hens. The Growing Pullets Pullets must have shade during the summer if they are expected to grow into profitable layers. When not provided with shade in order that they may keep cool, they stop eating, get stunted, and do not have the nor mal resistance to diseases and para sites. They sometimes become infest ed with lice very quickly when on range and should be examined for these parasites often. A clean range providing some shade, a good growing mash, plenty of grain, and a abundance of water will result in a good crop of pullets being grown out. , LAKE MURRAY SUPPER FOR COLUMBIA COUPLE Miss Mary Ross Paysinger and Miss Maude Stork, both of Columbia, en tertained at the Paysinger’s cabin on Lake Murray Friday night compli menting Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Tindall of Columbia, whose marriage was an outstanding June event in this city.

Covington, Ky, HEALTH FOR MIND AND SPIRIT, By W. L. Northridge. Abingdon Press, New York. Pages 200. Price $2.00. ' William L. Northridge, M. A., B. D., Ph. D, born in Ballineen, County Cork, Ireland, educated at Queen’s University in Belfast, discusses in this timely volume the major psy choses, the psycho-neurotic condi tions, sexual abnormalities, alcohol ism, drugs, problems of temperament, the inferiority complex, unconscious guilt, adolescent conversion, the “un- forgiveable sin problem,” certain re ligious scruples, sins, and spiritual direction— to mention t)he main trend of the author’s mind. The book closes with a chapter on “Religion as a Prophylactic.” Index. The purpose of the author is well stated in the title of his book; he has interest in all that Psychology can do for the mind; likewise he has in terest in all the spiritual values. It is this coordination that gives this book its great value. “It would be most desirable.. .for churches- to pro vide homes of healing in *the great centers of population. These should be staffed by qualified medical psy chologists who have sympathy with people’s spiritual sensitivities. Not that it is wise in such cases to ob trude the religious element unduly, but bcause, in practically every case, the element of guilt 0 r spiritual need has to be reckoned with. Not all pro fessional psychotherapists.. .will be found sympathetic with.. . religions convictions and needs.” Page 13. The author is quick on the same page to point out that a patient in going to an avowed agnostic for mental treatment came away with two con flicts, rather a double conflict. The author sees Ihis ideal way of treat ing patients impracticable at pre sent; hence the real place of the book is that it is a handbook for any and all who are ministers of good health. The judge on the bench should know this book, opposing lawyers in thou sands of cases could aid humanity with this kind of personal knowledge, teachers in the classroom, ministers of the gospel, and parents in the home, and so on.
