As a reward for this, and for a breathing spell, they will be granted a one-. one-. day vacation Friday, Nov. 10. While the students remain at " home to do the chores and tend the pre-school children, parents are invited to attend school in' their places, according to Principal Prin-cipal Grant Ingersoll. ' ' Hattt f r lieinga - lifetime - student of the Bible, especially, the New Testament, I have always been intrigued by the parables of Jesus. With all of their sympli-city, sympli-city, it's remarkable how they fit into the complexities of 1 modern life and the quirks of human nature. There is .one, however, that I have always had difficulty in trying to harmonize with Christ's - Golden Rule: "That whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you; do ye even--so unto them." The parable,-that has always seemed to me to be a little off ! beat, is the Masters story about the "Sower." The punch line of the -narrative goes" like this: - "For he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which' he hath." Mark 5:25. The injustice of this line , of reasoning came to mind again last week, when I read about the approval by Congress of the four per cent, plus, raise in monthly pay for-all members of the armed services. -According to provisions of the bill, the buck privates, wading in the stinking jungles and dodging JViet-Cong -sniper -bullets, will have their pay raised .. about $5.00 from $90.00 to $95.00 per month. While the Four-Star Generals far to the rear of the combat zones or in the safety and luxury lux-ury of the Pentagon, will receive re-ceive a monthly paycheck in creased by at least $120.00. li -$120,00 is, say four per cent of -what the -generals is now- re - ceiving ,te. increase wiU bring . w x: . , T jl month, which seems more than ItA' vr Mm-w- ample umnt m&w iemepfiairy Schoo Bcafied Wed i bers Harvey E.

B -1 Perhap sr" somemay argue that, if - to .him that hath- not shall, be' taken away even that which he hath, the buck private fighting in Vitenam have nothing noth-ing and so, accordingly, stand little chance of having anything taken away. How wrong can such reasoning be. These young men have their lives, the most "priceless possesion poss-esion in the world. They could lost it any day from rifle bullets, bul-lets, mortar shell, booby trap or tropical disease. They have their physical bodies which could .be maim- ed, disfigured or incapacitated .

Jl m Aim so, m uie opinion ot uus column, the members of Con gress pulled a boo boo, once again, if they felt that the U.S. taxpayers could stand to raise " the pay of all military person- nel, then the billion or so of it will cost each year, should at least" have "; been divided up equally. But even better still, why -didn't the Congressmen weigh " the raise in pay, in favor of the men who" are doing the actual fighting.
