Chapter hears
defense talk
The Jasper Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Re
volution met at the home of
Mrs. Harry I). Epting on Jan
uary 9. The associate hostesses,
who were Mrs P. K. Harmon,
Mils. Kemper Lake, Mrs. Jas.
A McKeown and Mrs. James
M Smith. Sr served an array
of delicious refreshments from
an attractive tea table, upon
the arrival of the members.
Mrs F. Scott Elliott, Sr. the
chapter regent, conducted the
opening ritual then Mrs. J. J.
Chappell read the President
General's Message.
Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, chair
man of National Defense, gave
a program on National Defense,
assisted by Mrs. Ralph P. Baker.
One of the points discussed
was regarding Strategic Arms
Limitation Talks—SALT. This
phase, aimed at limiting inter
national trade in conventional
weapons of war. should be care
fully watched since the Soviet
Union is the prime supplier of
weapons to much of the world.
These weapons are not given
away 'They are sold. The Sov
iet Union has profited substan
tially from the weapon business.
Figures and facts were given
to substantiate the statement.
Another point which was dis
cussed was "A Puzzling Strate
gic Error". This concerns the
curb in military spending which
will leave one fifth of the land
area of the United States, Alaska
without the capacity to defend
itself against conventional at
tack. The Soviet aircraft have
repeatedly tested this country’s
air defenses in Alaska. Graphic
examples were given to support
the above facts.
The regent thanked the two
participants on the program for
their timely presentation.
She then introduced Miss
Annie Kilgore, a visitor, and
conducted a business session.
Reports of various officers and
chairmen were given. Miss Mar
garet Paysinger, American His
tory Chairman, announced that

“YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS’
1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422
Strange how God made the world.
Not the actual creation. But the way
in which He made us human beings.
He implanted within all of us, you
know, the desire to love and be loved,
to appreciate and be appreciated. And
some of the grandest moments of our
lives are when we are reminded that
we are loved and appreciated.
Recently I received in the mail a
letter from a couple who live in Al
amogordo, New Mexico. It was a rath
er short letter, probably taking the
writer a couple of minutes to write.
But the good it did me was measure
less. May I share it with you? “We
would like you to know,” it be
gan, “how very much “Whatsoever
Things”, written by you and published
in our Star Shopper, means to us. We
look forward to it each week and al
ways enclose it in a letter to someone.
May God continue to bless your work
for him.”
Another Note
A couple of days later another small
note came in the mail. This one was
from Deltaville, Virginia. Using the
title of one of my recent articles, the
writer had written a single line which
made me humble and thankful. “Your
articles,” the writer wrote, “stir up my
hope.”
All of us have this desire, don’t we?
Every one of us appreciates apprecia
tion. We like a little flattery occasion
ally even if we know it isn’t true. And
when someone says something to us
which compliments something we have
done, it lifts our hearts beyond ex
pression.
Why we humans fail to use this
wonderful power which costs nothing
and buys everything any more than
we do is hard to understand. It has
the power to heal our hurts, find us
friends, and build up brotherhood.
The World Waits
The world is waiting to open it’s
doors to anyone who will live this way.
To those who can find compliment in
stead of condemnation, to those who
can find friends instead of fault, to
those who look for the best instead of
the bad, the world literally opens it’s
doors and says, “Welcome!” The per
son w r ho can develop this way of liv
ing will never be in want, never go
hungry, never be alone. People will
absolutely stand at his door begging
for his companionship.
Now, where does one acquire this
way of living? Why, from the Gali
lean, of course. For isn’t it He Who
teaches us to look for the good? Isn’t
it He Who causes us to forget our
stinginess and selfishness. Isn’t it He
Who teaches us to lose ourselves so
that we may find ourselves? So I
guess that if we are interested in
finding life to be this way, we have
to be willing to follow His Way.
Many of us are willing to take this
approach when dealing with our
friends. Few of us are willing to do it
when we deal with our enemies. It’s
a real shame, too. For we could get rid
of our enemies by living this way. For
don’t we get rid of our enemies when
we make them our friends?
It’s true. Little things mean a lot.
Especiallv expressed appreciation.
