It is interesting to note that in the current Teamsters Magazine they have an a»-ticle which con tends that these railway piggy back cars are taking away their jobs. Seems unfair that the rail roads should come up with a carrier that competes with the low-tax-paying trucks, from the truckers point of view. From the passenger car driver’s point of view it is a wonderful thing to get these haulers off the transcontinental highways. They are as wide and as long as the legal limit permits. Other than being a benefit to the motoring public it is nice to see the railroads gaining back some of their former business. Remember when ALL cars were transported via railroad? When the new cars came to the dealer all the men in town would go down to help the garage people unload so that they could see the new cars. Piggyback of semi-truck trailers is at present about 2 percent of the total amount of freight hauled. It is hoped by the motoring nublic that this percentage grows 25% or 50% of the total freight hauled. There is no need for these big trucks to follow the line of. the railroad all across the nation when the cars or semi-trailers could have gotten there safer, easier and cheaper with less dan ger to the motori'ig public and less wear and tear on the high ways. The designer of the piggyback railroad cars for automobile should get a vote of thanks, espe cially from the tax paying public CROSSWORD PUZZLE PUZZLE No. 634 ACROSS 1 Paper measure 5 Lift spirits of 10 Lairs 14 Wild buffalo of India 15 Ninth day before ides 16 Man’s name 17 Strokes lightly 18 Intimidate 19 Prong of fork 20 Flapped violently as a loose sail 22 Takeu out 24 Man’s name 25 God of love 26 Consulted 31 American Indians 35 Tall crown of upper Egypt 36 Scotch for John 37 Agree to 38 Exclamation of delight (pi.) 39 Feeling deeply 41 Annamese measure 42 Apportioning 44 Sloths 45 Philippine dwarf negrito 46 Incendiarism 47 Gathers 49 Repast 51 To free of 52 Gives an account of 55 A pastry 59 Mine entrance 60 A small lunar crater 32 Small sheltered inlet 63 Network 64 Close to (poet.) 65 Woody plant 66 Nahoor sheep (pi.) 67 Percolates 68 Became submerged DOWN 1 Knocks 2 Of a period of time 3 A pilaster 4 Dog 5 Holding in affection 6 Burden 7 Babylonian god of sky 8 Served 9 Compound ether 10 Dislikes very much 11 Send forth 12 Baseball team 13 Winter vehicle 21 Cornish prefix: town 23 unfastened 26 Hartebeest 27 Additional 28 Bird’s home (pi.) 29 Rodent 30 Trojan ( hero 32 Island iii Baltic Sea 33 Growing out 34 Porticos 37 Declarers 39 Esoteric 40 Kobold 43 Large American moth (pi.) 45 Kidnaps 47 Gemis of chickweed herbs 48 Persian title 50 Book of maps 52 Male sheep (pi.) 53 Paradise 54 City of Leaning Tower 55 Break suddenly 56 Girl’s name 57 Level 58 Onion-like vegetable 61 Signifying maiden name BOB R T 0 0 E R A R S lL T E T T N S N A_ J T T 1 .k.

Here iii 1673, Marquette and Joliet, on their trip of exploration, stopped at the Sac and Fox village, and here traders came from St. Louis to barter for furs. In 1821, John Wood, a native of New York, came to this vicinity to investigate the claim of a friend who had been granted a land bounty in the Military Tract, a large tract of land in Western Illinois set aside by act of Con gress for bounties for soldiers from the War of 1812. Wood be came Quincy’s first permanent white settler and here he met Wil lard Keyes, a Vermonter. Other settlers came and the site became known as Bluffs because of its location. Today, Quincy is a city of 41,450 population, the county seat and largest city in an area of 100 miles in all directions. It is a center for many specialized professional services in the fields of account ing, architecture, engineering, law, medicine and surgery. Agricultural crops produced in Adams County include corn, soy beans, oats, wheat, hay, cattle, hogs, poultry and dairy products. Quincy’s labor force of 22,500 in cludes 9,500 in manufacturing and 8,750 in non-manufacturing. Washington Park in the center of the downtown business district dates from the original planning of the city. On the west side is the statue of John Wood, first settler and twelfth governor of Illinois. On the east side is a plaque com memorating the sixth of the de bates between Lincoln and Doug las, on October 13, 1858. The Historical Building, once John Wood’s home, now houses an interesting collection of articles and materials pertaining to local history. The Moorish Villa Kathe rine, another point of interest, was built early in the century as the dream castle of a young engaged couple, the style commemorating their romance on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. The death Of the bride-to-be ruined the dream, and after many vicissi tudes the Castle, as it is known, became the property of the Quincy Park District, now serving the neighborhood as a community house. Rev. Robert H. Harper THE OLYMPIAD T HE apostle Paul was one of the learned men of the an cient world. He was doubtless a graduate of the University of Tarsus, his native city. He had sat at the feet of Gamaliel, a famous rabbi of Jerusalem. He demonstrated on Mars Hill in Athens that he was familiar with Greek literature, and in a num ber of missionary journeys he traveled widely through the Ro man Erroire. JUST A THOUGHT: There is nothing disgrace ful about defeat. We can not always win as we travel the road of life. Regardless how proficient we may become in some sport or some endeavor, sooner or later we must meet someone who is just a little bit better. W T hen we learn to “lose” as graciously as we “win,” defeat is not half so half bitter as it might be. It is interesting, though ^not surprising, to learn that he was familiar with the Olympic games. We do not know that he ever at tended the games, but we do know that he was familiar with the training of the contestants and circumstances connected with the games. And he drew from things con nected with the games an illus tration of the Christian life. Only he exhorted his readers to run the race that, war set before to gain more than a crown of laurel, then which no greater prize could be won by a Greek in the Olympic games. Chris tians were to run the race set before them, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith. So let us run today, keep ing our eyes ever upon the Lord.

Box 429, Newberry, S. C. 41-tf© By THOMAS COLLINS What Do Children Owe To Retired Parents? VITHAT are the obligations of W adult children to their re tired parents? This question arises out of a recent Golden Years column which laid out the obligations of retired parents to their children. Readers have suggested that the problem may have two sides. Here are the things which children who have flown from the nest owe to the mama and papa bird who pushed them from it. (1) Men who come up to retire ment age—and they frequently transmit their emotions to mother —nearly always feel unloved and unwanted. No matter how im portant they have been on their jobs they see their influence and status fading away. And in addi tion they usually find themselves heavily burdened • with the idea now abroad in the land that a 65-year-old man just doesn’t mat ter anymore. Children of such a man owe it to their father and mother to step in and give what spiritual vita mins they can. They must under stand that people by age 65 are able to shield their emotions, to smile and joke about their great freedom that is coming, and to cover up remarkably well. .Chil dren should drop over once in a while and tell mom and pop how wonderful they are. (2) Adult children owe their retirement-age parents the secu rity of food and shelter and medi cation for their pains—if they need it. Argue this as long as you choose, but children who are brought to maturity and launched into a decent life by their mother and father simply cannot repay them. No matter what, they can not repay them. Food and shelter are fundamen tal. Freedom from worry over whether or not you will have them at 65 is also fundamental. People at 65 can shield their wants as ef fectively as they shield their emotions. Children should pry enough to make SURF their parents have their basic needs. (3) Adult children owe their re tirement-age parents the right to be wrong. The freedom of retire ment, while not always desired, is sometimes an intoxicant to both men and their wives. They want to build a house, or start a busi ness, or take a boat to Italy. There is not too much time left for making mistakes. Forget what it may cost YOU in the end and let pop pull a whopper if he wants to. (4) Adult children are obligated not to turn their retired pare’ s into free servants and bab} t- ters. Retired parents weren l made for this, and though almost all of them would welcome a bit of it, they don’t relish the on and on and on of it that they get. They seldom complain and won’t refuse —aren’t grandma and grandpa supposed to do these things? (5) Adult children owe their retired parents a little time cf the day. Not five or six hours, not even every day, but a little from time to time. For a copy of the new Golden Tears booklet by Thqmas Collins, send 35 cents in cola (as stamps> to Dept.
