BE AN ADULT
"Why. I am almost giown!" At some time in our life
each one of us e illojje students has finally leahzed that un-
changeable fact. Each day we become more mature than wc
were the day before. Ah the yeais continue to show a maiked
development in our lives we adopt one of two attitudes to-
ward the process
Some students are excited and facinated by the promis-
mq realitv However others are leluctant to leave then
childish delights and outgrown methods for the sake of ma-
turity The latter group is composed of cowaidly individual
who assume an outlook ot false intrepidity on the future
They lack ambition and optism. Because these people aie us-
ually dissatisfied they want to be anything except what then
age lequues. This unfortunate group has never ieahzed that
the real secret of happiness is involved in growth and change.
One's personality becomes stagnant whenever the desire for
growth is retarded.
Adventuie variety and newness are all offered to the
nrogressive person but the miserable individual who mature
unwillingly icceives nothing but a warped and apathetic
disposition. People who find no pleasure or interest in grow-
irg are fiequently those who shirk responsibility as well ai
duty Every energetic poison who delights in piessing for-
waid intensely pities anyone characterized by adverse feel-
ings toward matun'y He "grown up" you'll like it

WHAT'S FLYING?
You or I had probably never heard of anything moie fan-
tastic outside of "The Cat and the Fiddle" nursery rhyme be-
fore someone saw the first Hying saucer At this late
'late hundreds of multi-colored discs in every form and fash-

know even Ringhng Brothers cannot boast of having one in
captivity That would be a good assignment for Buck "Bring
'Em Back Alive" Rogers in the Twenty-fifth Century.
Although Air Foice officials have denied the saucer's ex-
istence popular demand has kept them Hying. Flyers farm-
ers housewives and perhaps you have seen the discs whirl
lift and drop in their various peculiar movements.
In the January issue of True Magazine Don Keyhoe re-
ports the truest story their publication has printed according
to the editors. With his reasonings and interview Keyhoe le-
ports eighteen different explanations for the airborn saucers.
Keyhoe who wasn't chasing windmills as his name might

PIONEER PREACHER
By Opal Berryman
A Family Reading Club Selection
This is a tiue story. Miss Berry-
man has written in interesting
lnntj humoious style the lcmcm-
beranccs as they came to her
mlnit f iur father and his life
as a pioneer pieacher.
t10 pinins 0f West Texas is the
sccne f most of the action in this
hichlv entertaining stoiy. La
snitn of this she trets in and
out of enough scrapes for two
clnldien.
This entei prising young gill is
at hei best when she peisuades a
young man to accept Christ as his
Savior and is then doubtful that
he is serious when lie does take
the step
She finds herself in another
embaiiassing position when she
ictuses to memorize the pieamble
to the Constitution because a
gtoup of tlie students decide that
it is too difficult to memorize
piose When she finds heiself the
only one who has not learned the
passage pride keeps her silent
for tluee weeks. Finally a daik
closet and a stiay wasp makes
her change her mind.
Then theie is tlie time timing
the tevival meeting when Unity
people accept Chnst and there
is no water in which to baptize
them. A fteak flood is the answer
to piayois and the baptismal ser-
vice is right on schedule.
A double wedding a run-away
team and a led diess also com-
plicate matteis in the action of
the book and the lumor that one
of the town's doctors is a Negro
brings out a gioup of the Cross-
bill iimg Klu Klux Klan.
The story of Pioneer Preacher
ends on the same note with which
it began. New fiontieis beckon.
The Home Mission Boiiid lccom-
mends Bet ry man lor the job and
the family heads further west to
undeitake a new field of service
