D. 1736 Woodbura Ave. Covington, Ky. TRAILS FOR CLIMBING YOUTH. By Louis C. Wright. Abingdon, New York. Pp. 123. Pr. 31- In this fine little book, the Presi dent of Baldwin-Wallace, Berea, Ohio, points out the best “trails” for “climbing youth." He asks “Where Are You Going?”, and then pro ceeds to talk about “Choosing Life’s Trail,” “The Great Divide” (bechild- hood and manhood), “Building a Life While Climbing,” “Strength for the Journey,” “Friends on Life’s Journey,” “Rest and Refreshment,” and four particular youths—“The Youth Who Never Arrived,” “The Youth Who Arrived,” “The Youth Who Came Back,” and “The Youth Dre <, € nted bv Mr Z Who Never Strayed.” Jesus Christ’s chairman of the board plan is the one youth ought to follow. chairman of ^ board - The author closes his fine book with a chapter on the belief that man was not born to die and that that ends and means all. It is quite easy in this book to pick out commanding statements of charm and point. “One of the vain wishes of youth is the hope to find a place that just fits him,” p. 31. “Choosing a way of life and holding with resolute purpose to that way solves basic problems,” p. 213. “We never really see each other with eyes,” p. 119. “If we are to live with ourselves in a future world, we want selves which we can live with comfortably,” p. 121. A very timely book. Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD WHAT USE IS RELIGION? By El more McNeill McKee. Scribner. New York. Pp. 260. Pr. 32. Here is the kind of book that is needed today as never before in our little day and generation It is a very honest attempt by the Rector of St. George’s Church, New York City, to meet the objectives of the skeptic and critic of the church and of re ligion itself. He gives the varie ties of skepticism; he asks such vital questions as—How important isGod? IS Religion a weakness?, Does Mor ality Matter?, Is The Soul Real?, Is Sin Real?, Does Jesus Save?, and similar ones. One dooes not need to agree with this author in each point he makes to see the real value and the need of this fine book. It is timely, it is vital to the human situation o. today, and it is searchingly clear in its treatment of the big issues of the Christian cause and meaning for life and the hope of imortality. “Having seen,” says the author, P. 71, “the mighty relevance of morality to our very destiny let us now come quickly to understand that Christianity can never be summed up in any moral code. For love is not morality. Love passes rules, laws and measurments. Love means abandon, sacrifice, non- calcuting disinterestedness. Love asks no reward. Love . . . possesses a quality of pure beauty which mor ality does not have.” A fine book. Sendoff On Monday evening, January 22, the Newbery county hospital staff gave a sendoff party for W. H. Bur ney, who is leaving Newberry to live in Anderson. The nurses home was decorated with red and white color scheme of hearts, cupids-bows, and arrows. Flowers used were red and white gladioli and carnations. Gifts for the guest of honor were brought in on an ambulance cot and F. Wright, During the evening sandwiches and fruit punch were served. Stamp Collectors Most all the stamp lovers of New berry were at the philatelic truck in front of the National Bank last Thursday, for a most interesting stamp display was shown. Pictures showing the process of stamp mak ing were at the top of the wall, and below was a display of every stamp made. In showcases were round and flat plates from which sheets of stamps are made. To each visitor of the truck was given a souvenir stamp on which was a picture of the White House. These were printed while you waited. Altho’ I’m not a philatelo-maniac myself, the stamps were interesting to me, and I know you who are phil atelists examined the truck with the greatest care. It must have been a temptation to philatelists to see all those valuable stamps and not be able to have them. Snow Man During the snow last week, two little boys decided that they would make a snow man. These little boys had two phones in the house, and while one called their uncle from downstairs, the other listened from upstairs. “Uncle,” said the six-year-old, “Brother and I are going to make a snowman, and I’m going to get Dad dy’s hat to put on his head and his pipe to put in his mouth.” “Yes,” said the three-year-old, “and I’m com ing over to borrow your false teeth for him to use.” Broken Arms While the snow was beautiful, and fun for many, it wasn’t fun for a few. Those were the ones who had falls and broke their arms and legs. Among those to break their arm was Mrs. Hal Kohn. Mrs. Kohn taught me piano lessons for four years, and she is one of the nicest and sweetest Delinquent Tax Notice All persons who have not paid their Delinquent Taxes through the year 1937, will please take notice that I am preparing a list of all per sons who have not paid to be advertised in the papers to satisfy said executions. There will positively be no extension on the pay ment of these taxes as we are required to abide by the law. C. W. Sanders, TAX COLLECTOR ladies I know. I sincerely hope that she will be out soon, and that next time the snow will be a joy, to her, and not a menace. Barbecue A lady was talking to a litttle boy about her nephew, who was about a year old. She asked, “Johnny, isn’t Jimmy fat?” “Yes.” said little Johnny, “he sure would be nice for a chicken barbecue.” Orchestra Last Friday afternoon the College ‘N’ orchestra went to Charlotte, N. C. to audition for a commercial radio program. I was talking to the lead er, Harry Raymond Saturday morn ing, and he said that the thing that thrilled him about the broadcast was that the boys weren’t a bit nervous. “They made a recording of our audi tion,” said Harry, “and gave to us. There’s no place in Newberry to play it, and we are all so anxious to hear it. We all had lots of fun on the trip, and if I get a letter telling me that we weren’t selected for the .program I won’t be disappointed. We were against some competition, bands that have been organized for five or six years. The WBT officials and also the sponsor seemed to like us.” Someone told Harry that if they’re selecting the band for reputation, they will get a band that has been organized longer but if its for music, they will certainly select the College ‘N’ Orchestra. The officials at WBT told the boys that the Newberry peo ple must like them, and from the number of telegrams received, they must be plenty good. Robbers A little boy of Newberry saw a man wearing large sun glasses. He went up to the man and asked him if he would answer a question. The man said sure. So the little boy said, “Are you a robber?” Enjoy Barbecue The Thursday Night Bridge club motored to the home of Weyman Coleman last Wednesday night "for a rabbit and chicken barbecue.
