SUN-ADVOCAT- Thursday, December 28, PRICE, UTAH E, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT Many dangerous philosophies have been assailing the American way of life in recent years. Success stories unfailingly emphasize persistent hard work, perseverence, and an indomitable spirit, usually making persona financial gain an insignificant factor in the effort. Earlier generations grew up in the belief that individual progress, and prosperity depended on industry, intelli gently applied. And there are no success stories without these ingredients. However, a prevailing idea in the last decade or two is different. It seems hare work is something to be shunned, like a disease. It is too wearing on the human system. And besides, getting by without too a mark of genius. much effort is smarter in this philosophy believes who Anyone is afflicted with colossal blindness. Such a theory dissipates one of Americas strongest virtues. It was hard work above all else that built up this country in a remarkably short time. It was hard work that made it the most productive and enterprising of all na tions. Take away this spirit of industry, and you take away the very thing that gives physical and mental strength to our people. The idea of getting something for nothWe cannot ing is completely afford to lose sight of the fact that our nation has endowed us with an endless variety of riches for our wants, but they are accessible only through industry and hard work. that Something should be done to ll idea to America.

Just a housewife, she told the census taker, with a half apologetic smile. Just a housewife! Oh, no! Such a tiny little bit of her was that. She was an artist an expert in color, atmosphere and design. Three hundred and sixty-fiv- e paintings she finished every year. Many of them would hang in the halls of memory long after she was gone. There had been some dark, tragic days, but she made each one a miniature of courage and framed it with hope. There were prints of sunshine that had been made in spite of illness and sorrow. There were etchings of truth, kindness and compassion that had been painted on canvases washed clean of falsehood, cruelty and indifference. Scenes that might have been commonplace like sweeping, mending and baking, she overlaid with overtones of joy, peace and serenity. High moments of praise and devotion also found their place in her gallery of days. Just a housewife! She was a poet. A glass of plum jelly on a sunlit window sill was a sonnet of beauty. Clean, fresh curtains stirring in a gentle breeze whispered a poem of love. Crisp loaves of bread effused a folk song to be remembered. The steady swish of a rocking chair over a softly carpeted floor hummed a lullaby, and a child kneeling in prayer by a white bed was a hymn of praise. With the true rhythm found in common things, she beat out the cadence of days that were filled with melody. Just a housewife? She was a builder, an architect with visions and plans for a better tomorrow. Her foundation was laid on essential goodness. Her walls were squared with gracious living. The windows opened wide to love and understanding. The door swung over a threshold of peace. A roof of faith made the house safe from the storms. A fence of contentment kept away strife, preThe gate opened wide on judice and hinges of friendship. It was not a house alone that she built it was a home where the heart could rest. Just a housewife. How little the man, who wrote those words after her name, knew!

SS-- - A fellow recently bought a foreigautomobile, and after careful computation over a month, he came to the conclusion that he was not getting the phenomenally high gasoline mileage so often credited to such cars. So he took it to a local mechanic, who, after checking it thoroughly, pronounced it in perfect condition. n-made DONT WAIT FOR TOMORROW If tomorrow is a day toward which we reach eagerly, all is well with us. If tomorrow, however, is only an escape from today, it is not well with us. Most of us know what we ought to do. We have a sense of duty and responsibility. We have an equal sense of rightness. Our difficulty is not a lack of knowledge. Our difficulty is lack of resoluteness. We know what we ought to do, but we lack the inner is precisely wrhere our trouble lies. We do not not now. We do not want to be decisive now. We do not want to make the effort want to translate our thoughts into actions now. We are not saying that we will never make the effort. We deceive ourselves tomorrow. by saying that we will make it So philosophizes Dr. Arnold H. Lowe, Minneapolis clergyman, who contin- ed control. re-se- strength to do it. To do what we know we ought to do demands decisiveness, effort, and the readiness to translate a thought into action.

The mere thought of doing what we ought to do will bring us a glow of satisfaction as though we had really done it. That is fatal. On the other hand, there is infinite reward in crowning intention with action. Whatever we must do, let us do it now. It will be easier to do it today than tomorrow, Let the deed follow the thought, let the action follow the resolve. In that pattern lies strength. From that strength comes peace of mind.
