The Cherokeean
Good Place To Live
We've come o long way from the dark days of child
lobor and owing one's soul "to the company store."
Now the work scene is one of pension plans, insurance,
paid vocations and an occasional holiday. Such fringe
1*nefits have doubled in the past decade. The Chamber
of Commerce of the U.S. says benefits are up, from an
average of $1,254 per employee in 1961 to $2,544 in
1971. The quality of these benefits has been
simultaneously upgraded, with better medical coverage
and earlier retirement dates as just two examples.
Modern society in the United States offers a wide
spectrum of benefits which were unheard of in the past
and still are but nebulous dreams in some parts of the
world. When everything is said and done, history will
record that the U.S.-faults and all-is still a prime spot
in which to live, work and raise a family.
Rejuvenation of Spirit
Whether celebrating Passover on April 17, Easter on
April 22, or just the fact that it's spring, it is
appropriate for all citizens to honor the Judeo-Christian
Tradition. Scholars say that this is the foundation of our
secular American form of government, our freedoms,
and our private business system.
Christianity followed the Jewish tradition of a
well-integrated family life, a legal order, and ethical
principles based on divine and brotherly love, "one
nation under God" says the Pledge of Allegiance, and
"endowed by their Creator..."says the Declaration of
Independence.
So, whether celebrating the resurrection of Jesus or
the sparing of the Hebrew first-born in ancient Egypt,
we can all pray that we will be able to build on the
wisdom and sacrifices of our ancestors to achieve a new
era of prosperity and understanding. We can look
forward eagerly and with great hope for future
accomplishments to the rejuvenation of spirit which
comes in this joyous season.

THE BOOK NOOK
By Gerald Chapman-Librarian
Kissin' Kuzzins
¡
Last weekend was a busy
time at the library. Many
ex-students of Rusk College
visited the library to view the
cabinet containing college
memorabilia. A valuable new
edition was added. Through the
effort of K P Walker,
Harlingen. a book was pre-
sented containing many letters
of former college students. Mr
Walker contacted every ex-
studert possible, asking that
they write a letter containing
highlights of their days at Rusk
College The book was a great
success containing over 300
pages of personal experiences.
For those who enjoy keeping
abreast of current reading-
what is being read by others
sufficient to make the best
seller list-should investigate
the following: DR. ATKINS
DIET REVOLUTION, number
one on the non-fiction list. Dr.
Alkins believes it is carbohy-
drates rather than calories
which causes overweight
Number two is THE BEST
AND THE BRIGHTEST by
David Haiberstom. Here is the
story of the last decade-what
happened when the best and
the brightest men in the
country came to Washington,
to serve the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations, and
exercised, or failed to exercise,
their poser in office. Here are
in-depth portraits of such men
as Robert McNamara,
McGeorge Bundy, Dean Rusk,
George Ball, William West-
moreland, Maxwell Taylor and
Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson. But more than
portraits it is a narrative of the
decision-making process by
which we arrived at our
position in Vietnam.
Number five is THE
IMPLOSION CONSPIRACY
by Louis Nizer. The book
depicts the true account of the
Rosenberg espionage case
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
her brother David Greenglass,
Morton Sobel and others were
charged with passing to Soviet
Russia the secrets of the device
that triggers the atom bomb.
The trial that resulted will go
down in history as one of the
major courtroom dramas of all
time. No fictional espionage
thriller ha® .ever been as
breathtaking as this story.
For fictiolj-fbr aULages read
A DAY NO PltJS WOULD DIE
by Robert Newton! The story is
of a thirteen year old Shaker
boy who becomes a man. Told
in simplicity, you are given
lives lived in earthy reason.
The library is grateful to the
Thalian Club for sponsoring
"Snow White" to raise funds
for the library. This fine club
has always been a booster and
contributor to the library.
THANKS.

A bright eye indicates
curiosity, a black eye, too
much. So it is that many in the
Rusk Lions Club had bright
eves about a skating rink for
the Rusk youth. It is doing
quite well so the many Lions
that worked on this should
really feel proud of them-
selves Lions Lewie Byers,
President Cooper, Billy
Watson and many others. Then
we never want to forget Wayne
Townsend. As far as we know
there has never been a man
that has worked as hard and
given of his time for the youth
of his community as has this
good man. Words never
express our appreciation for
what he has done and is
continuing to do.
Lion Zone Chairman Glenn
Stanley read a letter last week
concerning the big clean up.
paint-up. fix-up campaign to
start here in Rusk April 16th.
What a shame it is to see the
beauty of our area ruined by
trash dumped on the sides of
the road. People to lazy to take
their trash to the dump ground
provided for them. They should
feel very proud of themselves.
.So let us all put out a little
extra effort and clean up what
we have plus some for those
who do not care
Lion Ike Daniel announced
that we have an ice cream
machine offered to us and Lion
President Cooper is to pick it
up The particulars are not
known at this time. Last year
Lion Ike announced that
someone had donated a mule to
the Rusk Lions Club and we
never saw it. So this is a wait
and see proposition.

It will cost more to pay
the interest on the national
debt in 1974 than it cost to
run the government in all the
years from 1789 to 1913—-
$24.ti billion interest in 1974
against $24 billion spent
Ihroutfh the first 12:! years
of our (fovernment.
Lion Billy Watson presented
a movie as our program
entitled "Kemper Open" all
about golf being played in the
beautiful state of Florida. We
could see the mouths watering
by Lion Paul B. Cox, Raymond
Cooper and other Lions that
play this wonderful game.
Many of the loading golfers in
the country were ¿here. Arnold
Palmer. Lee Trevino. Gary
Player. Dale Douglas and
many others The pressure of a
pro tourament was shown
Lion Billy Watson told about
the activities of the Leo Club
and asked that we encourage
the ones belonging to this Club.
This is another very fine
project that the Rusk Lions
Club has sponsored.
Lion JoEd Anderson had two
horses that he could not tell
apart, so he tried cutting the
tail off one horse. This didn't
work because it grew right
back. Then he cut the mane off
the other horse. But that didn't
work either because it grew
right back Finally, he
measured them and found that
the white horse was two inches
taller than the black horse.

MOMENTS FOR
MEDITATION
We know not what the future
holds, but we do know who
holds the future.
The man who does not view
the future with God in sight
miscalculates the distances
between and the direction of
every moving event in his
life.
And life does move - not in
■" straight lines or sweeping
curves - instead it progresses
' upward or downward by way
of a winding staircase,
proceeding imperceptibly
from level to level.
The house of God and the
people of God are magnetic
influences on any life. Little
by little we are drawn to
His side, like iron filings
to the magnet.
And I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men
unto me.
