Prayer for the week:
Lord we beseech Thee keep Thy

to serve thee in good works, to
the glory of Thy name; through

| Thought for the week:—
| These are the times that try
' men's souls. The "Summer Sold-
ier" and the "Sunshine Patriot"
I will, in this crisis, shrink from
! the service of their country: but
i he that stands it NOW deserves
: the love and thanks of man and
woman. The tyranny (of circum-
i stances) is, like hell, not easily
overcome; yet we have this con-
solation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the
jtriumph. What we obtain too
(cheaply we esteem too lightly.
It would be strange indeed if
1 Freedom should not be highly
| rated and to be obtained only at
grent cost.
Adapted from Thomas Paint.
Prayer for the time: O Thou
i Eternal God! 'whose presence
j bright all space doth occupy, all
| motion guide; unchanged through
times all devasting flight: thou
J only God, there is no God be-
, sides. Amen.

To the Bastrop Advertiser:
With Christmas still six weeks
away, firecrackers are already
being heard on our streets. iNow
; l am not a very old woman, and
j I hope not a very contrary one,
but 1 am scared of firecrackers.
When they explode unexpectedly
in my front yard, or worse, under
my feet on the sidewalks, I al-
most go crazy, and 1 have found
other people in town who feel
i the same way.
Firecrackers have been known to
deafen people, and the sudden
explosion is very bad on an elder-
ly person. And there are many of
our returning veterans who have
not yet adjusted themselves to
the ioud sound made by fire-
crackers.
I remember that all cities ami
many small towns last year made
it against the law to shoot fire
| works of any kind inside the city
limits.
Maybe our city council would
pass a similar ordinance for Bas-
trop, and so take away the dan
gers of firecrackers exploding on
our streets. I, and many othei
Bastrop citizens would be very
grateful to them if they A'oulu
make some >uch provision.
