Show Chaplain's Corner Editorial By CU iCl'T) Patrick j. AdLins "Kimw how in listen and in will profit even from those Plutarch who talk lutlly." We have lost the art rf listening. Wry often while the other man is talkiii" we are so Imsy imr relmttul in onler mi that we can lie ready to juinp in just as mkiii as he slops to eateh his hreath. However are we realU listening 'Hie first thing eaeh of us must notice is that no two people are alike. Present any crisis, any incident or disappointment and the people involved will react in his own way. It is the same with listening to soiiicIkkIv else. Some are liorn listeners others are Imrii talkers. This does not mean that the listeners have nothing to work at nor does it mean that the Uirn talkers cannot hecome a listener. He can if he will care enough aliout someliodv's welfare. It is just that he lias to work at it more. The first thing we must do to learn to listen is to desire the truth. We must desire the truth, as much of the truth as we can gather, rather than to desire our own way, our own opinion or perhaps the sound of our voice. Since each person knows only certain aspects of a situation, we have to hear the other person. We have to listen. We have to close our mouths, open our ears and our hearts. Secondly, anil this is connected with the first, we must desire this truth from whomsoever it comes. It is easy if the truth is pleasant and if the truth comes from someone we like very much. A test for our desire for truth: If we will listen when it goes againsl our preferences or when the truth comes from someone we do not like. Does this sound too simple? Well it is simple. Not easy lint simple. The art of listening aims at the arrival of truth which means that sometimes we must listen sometimes we must speak, sometimes liotli. It is a discipline; it is hard work. Harder for some than for others. However, liasic to all generous listening is the desire to help another, which is love. Love is the desire for the welfare of the licloved. To listen well to another means to care about the other. Try really to listen keeping in mind the desire for truth. At the same time listen to the truth from whomever it comes, friend or enemy. We will lie higgcr people tf we do it! 1968 was an ugly year for Americans. Tragedy of spectacular magnitude Iwcame a frequent front page occurrence.

Nelson By On Saturday, May 24. all of us will lie asked to wear a red memorial puppy. As most of you certainly know, once each year Americans observe Poppv Day which is a voluntary tribute to Mir dead ami disabled servicemen. By accepting one of these poppies from a member of the American Legion Auxiliary we aid the liviug victims of the past wars while houoriui; our dead. The poppy grew in the Initt of France and Belgium where American servicemen have fallen during two World Wars. In the vears following the first World War the poppy came to lie recognized us naU-sli- e assassinations. It was "quiet" only because it was not concentrated in a single place at a single time. There was no focus to put this misery on the front page. To the families and friends of 35,3(X) men, women and children killed in auto accidents, however, it was the ultimate calamity. To the 4,4(X),(XX) victims of injury, it was hard core agony. The economic loss, alxrnt 13.5 billion dollars, was an appalling waste. The 1968 highway toll followed a year that saw a leveling off in the numlter of highway deaths and injuries. In 1967 approximately 53,(XX) lives were lost in motor vehicle mishaps 4,2(X),(XX) persons were injured. Why the increase? Was it because Americans were lulled by the "improvement" of the proceeding year? There are, perhaps, as many reasons as there are people to voice opinions. Whatever the reasons, the tragedy remains. More than 55,3(X) persons were killed and 4,4(X),(XX) injured. Mr. Driver, it's up to you to help make 1969 Utah The DESEKET SAMPLER, Fri., May 23, 1969 The Camping Season ture's tribute to the war dead and it was soon adopted as the Legion and Auxiliary's official memorial flower. The poppies you will wear on Poppy Day have an even than the greater significance flowers which bloomed on the liattlefields of Europe. These memorial poppies you will be offered have liecn made in hospitals and work sliojis when the suffering of war still exists. The disabled veterans who make these flowers are able to gain a dual benefit from their work the poppy program gives many men their only opportunity to support themselves and heir families; and it offers them a productive pastime with which to combat long hours in the hospital wards. Volunteers who offer the unlike poppies to the public the disabled veterans receive nothing tangible for their work. However, these workers gain satisfaction from their contribution to a program which honors the war dead while assisting the living. Money dropped into contribution Ixixes in exchange for poppies goes directly to the welfare activities of the American Legion and Auxiliary; all funds are used for the aid of disabled veterans, their families, and the families of deceased servicemen.
