THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1981.
THE DEACON AND THE FROG
A great many people we know
remind us of the frog that Charles
F. Kettering, chief research engi-
neer of General Motors, told a-
bout the other day.
A deacon was on his way to
church one Sunday morning, dres-
sed in his best and with his shoes
nicely polished, when he heard
his name called from a mudholc
near the roadside. Down in the
hole was a bullfrog.
"1 have been in here three
days,” said the frog, “without any
thing to eat, and 1 wish you would
help me out."
The deacon looked at the mud
and looked at his shiny shoes and
remembered that he had to pass
the collection plate in church, so ;
he replied: "I'm sorry, old man, I
can’t help you now, but on my
way back from church I’ll give
you a lift out of the hole.”
As he came back from church
the deacon was surprised to find
the frog sitting in the middle of
tin- road, contentedly snapping at
flies.
"1 thought you said you couldn’t
get out of that hole." said the deu-
You’re running an awful risk
talking to Gossip that way. Didn't
we say last week we could grow .*
beard three inches long in a
week” It may even grow five or
six inches in that time. Don’t you
see, it’s a real-heman that can
grow a beard like that.
Why. the last time T. G. got
measured for a new suit of cloth-
es, way back in B. D. (.before the
depression) the woo! market jump
ed skyward, or was it the cotton
market. It must have taken a
year’s work for several dozen
sheep to get enough cloth. You
see. Gossip is really a hairy-chest-
ed guy of immense proportions.
The only reason we let the edi-
tor do our fighting, as we pointed
out last week, i-, because he’s a
dyspeptic looking runt and could
not do any harm. Gossip just
doesn’t know his own strength.

In the stress of these depressed
| times many folks have almost lost
| their heads in seeking some meth-
od by which we can come back
out on the plane of normal times.
Freak methods, isnis, panaceas, 11
legislation and all that sort of
thing are just so much delay in|g?
the path of prosperity. The old t til
remedies still hold good and it is
not by hitting on something new ;
but by getting back to the old, the j
sound and fundamental principles;
upon which America was found-
ed, that we are going to work out ;
our future.
Hard work, sacrifice, honesty.;
privation, saving, management !
and the principles of the Chris- !
tian religion are the rules for sue
cess which our forefathers used
to conquer a wilderness and lay I
the foundation for the greatest (
nation in the world today. Pros-
perity brought with it the dream-;
of short cut* to fame and fortune, j
America chased the bubble until |
it burst and now most of us are 11
sitting down trying to think of
some short cut or scheme to get
back on prosperity’s road again.
We need rather to get back sound
common sense.
The world has changed but the
principles upon which civilization
was founded have not changed.
The unequalities under which w>
are now chafing are the result of
our disobeying the fundamental
principles- listed above. Instead
of further fooling ourselves by
following some of the many who
are proposing unsound ideas a
bout the return of prosperity, let’s
get back to the old remedies. They
will still hold good, if we but ap
ply them.—News, Lenior City.

don’t know what they are talking j
about, in the matter of the nidus-

trial depression and the plight of
the worker.
Once in a while, however, some-
one says something sensible. It .
strikes us that Senator Couzens
of Michigan is in that class when
he proposes to set up in America
a scheme of job insurance which
will protect the unemployed in fu-
ture depression periods, if any.
Senator Couzens would have the
Federal government, the state
governments, all industrial em-
ployers and «il workers in Indus-
try contribute to a fund which
would be used in hard times to
pay the workers who were thrown
out He figures that if $1.78 out
of every $100 of industry's payroll
were thua put into a fund, it
would take cart of nil unemploy-
ment.
