Editor's Notes
By now. we suppose that every-
one realizes what day this is.
April Fool's Day, of course. We
considered several ways in which
we could fool you today in the
Tribune. In fact, we even thought
of just skipping this week. But it
was only a passing thought since
we didn't really think anyone
would appreciate our joke.
Nevertheless, today will be full
of practical jokes and the running
of fool's errands.
Though April 1 appears to have
been anciently observed in Great
Britain as a general festival, it was
apparently not until the beginning
of the 18th century that the mak-
ing of April-fools was a complete
custom. In Scotland the custom was
known as "hunting the gowk," or
the Cuckoo, and April-fools were
"April-gowks."

Spring is finally here. Spring is
a very pleasant time of the year.
Gardens are being planted, wives
are busy with their flowers and
yards, youngsters are having a
wonderful time playing in the out-
doors for the first time in many
months.
But there is one aspect of spring
which is not so pleasant. During
this time of year it seems that
grass fires are more prevalent
than at any other time. During the
past couple of weeks our fire
department has been out on several
calls to stop grass fires.
We have a wonderful Fire
Department. The members give
voluntarily of their time and efforts
to make it so. But the responsibil-
ity lies with us, the citizens of
this community, to at least do
what we can to prevent these fires.
The damage done by fire can be
great, not only to our fields and
acreage, but let out of hand, a
grass Me can endanger property
and even lives.
Let's be sure before we start even
a small fire to burn trash or
rubbish that the wind is calm and
that we can have full control of
the area we wish to burn.

This year marks the twentieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Laymen's National Committee. Inc.,
an interfaith organization dedicated
to the proposition that "America
was founded on man's conscious-
ness of God, man's daily labor and
the fruits therefrom." The Com-
mittee sponsors National Sunday
School Week. April 11-17, 1960. The
theme for the Week this year is,
"Sunday School — A Force for
Faith."
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau Investigation, has
said. "The sixteenth annual obser-
vance of National Sunday School
Week should serve as a signal re-
emphasizing to all responsible citi-
zens the need for a return to
religion in our standards of living.
"The Sunday Schools of our Na-
tion can make a tremendous con-
tribution to the necessary realign-
ment of our guide for daily
activity. The importance of religion
as the major factor in the conduct
of our lives must be installed in
our young men and women, and
from there, it will assume its
rightful place in the lives of every
citizen, every community and every
nation."
Give your standard muffins a
new dimension in flavor. Add 2
teaspoons grated orange rind and %
cup sliced fresh dates to the muffin
batter, then bake. Just watch
these fruited muffins disappear
quickly.
"All the strength and force of a
man comes from the faith in things
unseen." —James Freeman Clarke
GRASSROOTS
OPINION
Farm Facts
"We have never been
so well fed for so little
despite more people in
the U.S. and fewer
farmers to feed
them. ^
CORVALLIS, ORE., GAZETTE-
TIMES: "Constitutional provisions
prohibit a president from knocking
single items out of appropriation
bills. Consequently, Congress al-
ways lumps a lot of appropriations
together and submits them as one
bill. It usually contains some un-
desirable or selfish items mixed
in with the necessary ones . . The
Federal government is far behind
most state governments in this re-
spect. The governors of some 39
states .... exercise item veto
power."
ELMWOOD PARK, ILL., HER-
ALD (Reprinted from Publishers'
Auxiliary): "When we think of
Russian newspapers, we are inclin-
ed to think of Izvestia and Pravda,
just as Russians are probably in-
clined to think of the New York
Times, for example, when they
think about the American press.
"But in each country, there are
more than 11,000 small and large
newspapers, each with considerable
influence in its own community . .
Although we are sure that news-
papers in the United States have
considerably more freedom to say
what they choose to say, it is also
remarkably interesting to note that
the pattern in Russia is more news-
papers and broader circulation. This
could be a healthy trend."
BOONVILLE, IND., ENQUIRER:
"The question, 'Do you read the
Bible?' asked in a crowd, would
produce very interesting replies, if
the truth were told.
"There are some people who
think themselves 'superior' because
they place scant reliance in the
book which is still the world's best
seller ....
"Any number of our best citizens
can. and will, testify to the great
influence for good this book has
exerted upon their lives. They
know that its study has brought
them values not equalled by any
other publication."
DAYTOWN, O., LABOR UNION:
"Have you ever wondered about
advertising that made you want
to buy something you thought you
couldn't afford? Well . . .pause and
be thankful for it. It's this very
ability of advertising to prod us
into wanting something better that
keeps our economic machine whirl-
ing away at top speed . . .
"Few can deny that we have
achieved a 'good life' in this
country . . . We will continue so
long as we keep up this urge for
self-betterment."
MORRISON. ILL.. SENTINEL:
"At twenty, a young man thinks
the competition in getting ahead
is fierce, and so it is. At thirty he
finds it worse because more is ex-
pected of him.
"Skipping the other decennials
brings us to seventy, at which age
it would seem that the competition
would subside, but no. Those who
survive seven decades find them-
selves members of a hardy, tough,
seemingly indestructible group."
PHILLIPS. WISC.. BEE: "Instead
of individuals in the states contri-
buting extra money to the federal
government in order that the fed-
eral government may dole out ed-
ucational handouts, wouldn't it be
better it the states themselves
would collect that same money and
hand it back to the individual
districts in the state?"
DULUTH, MINN., PUBLICITY:
"The U. S. income tax was 47 years
old February 25. Does anyone want
to sing 'Happy Birthday' to cele-
brate the joyous occasion?
"When it was born in 1913, few
people foresaw how the tax would
grow. It started with a nibble of
one to six percent. Now it gobbles
20 to 91 percent.
'The result has been to eat up
savings and capital and stunt the
growth of the national economy."
HARTFORD, KY„ NEWS: "Ro-
man tax collectors, we learn from
Newsweek magazine, nicked Vice
Chairman Giovanni Agnelli of
Italy's big Fiat auto works a mere
$92,000 in income tax on his 1958
salary of $638,000. If Fiat and
Signor Agnelli were in Detroit, the
magazine points out, his take-home
pay would have been $462,000 less
—or about 13 cents per earned
dollar."
"Jack be nimble, Jack be quick—
watch the road and not that chick."

NEWS LETTER
FROM CONGRESS
By Congressman Frank Ikard
It becomes more and more ap-
parent that there has beenachange
in pace in Russia s diplomatic
policy. They continue to flirt and
court the erratic Castro in Cuba
with the hope that they can estab-
lish a firm beachhead for Commu-
nist activities in the Western
Hemisphere. Castro reacts by his
near hysterical rantings against the
United States and by arresting our
citizens on the slightest pretense
and confiscating American Pr°Per"
ty in Cuba. The result has been
that our relationships with Cll£a
have steadily deteriorated since the
Castro Regime, and all Indi®.®tl®"f
are that this will continue with the
little Cuban Dictator apparently
trying to see just how far he can
push us before we break on ie-
lationships altogether.
In the meantime, on the
fronts, the Russians make i
proposals with respect to sus^U"
ing atomic tests and speak of ?u"
urgent need for world disaJre
ment obviously hopeful that WJ
be lulled into a false senlW|L
security by their pious pronou3
ments. All of this indicates
the Russians have reached a
elusion that they are strong eno,?A
politically and economically y
challenge us on all fronts in ti!°
world. More and more we will
attempts at economic and poIIhT";
penetration into the Western Hp
isphere for the Russians know tw
we have been preoccupied Jul
Europe and Asia and have to
degree forgotten about our tradi"
tional friends south of the borde
We should be able to overcome th
Russians in any economic and noli
tical conflict, but to win take*
imagination, determination, enere
and leadership. If it develops that
Castro does succumb to the Com
munist influence in Cuba, we will
have suffered a major defeat I
NEXT SUNDAY'S LESSON-AND Y00
BIBLE MATERIAL: Mathew 4:23-
25; 5:1-2. 17-20; 9:14-17; Mark 4:1-2,
10-13, 33-34.
SUBJECT: "Teaching by Precept
and Parable"
EMPHASIS: "And Jesus went
about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and heeling
all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the
people." Mathew 4:23.
LESSON BACKGROUND: This
lesson begins a study of Jesus^
famous "Sermon on the Mount.
In a real sense of the word, It
ought to be called His "TEACH-
ING" on the mountain. In addition
to the Sermon, we begin a study
of his parables that relate to the
principles taught during the Ser-
mon The central theme of the
"Sermon on the Mount" is "the
kingdom of God" or "the kingdom
of heaven," because the two terms
are used interchangeably in the
gospel accounts. This means that
the righteousness of the kingdom
is under question. Disciples of
Christ are to follow Him as right-
eous men. According to the teach-
ings of Jesus, it does make a '
difference how a person lives, how
one looks at the world around him
Outward actions are but revealers
of inward attitudes. Thus, although
the Kingdom is spoken of as beine
in the .FUTURE, Jesus also taught
that it was PRESENT - within you
TODAY'S LESSON FOR YOU
It is so easy to admire the teachings
of Jesus without ever experiencing
a change within you because of
those teachings. It is so easy to
acknowledge that never spake man
like Jesus and never let Him
to your own heart. It is so ea??nu^*
wish tthe world would follow the
teachings of Jesus and never make
any attempt to follow them your-
self. Why don't you begin "at the
beginning," and put the cart before \
the horse. This means you should
receive Jesus as your personal
Saviour and Lord AND THEN after
that you begin to follow His teach-
ings. It is the writer's hope that
you will follow this lesson in the
paper each week as we study this
new area together. Together we
can learn anew the things of Jesus,
the things that can shape our
minds and lives for Him.

Editor Bob Gauger, the Whitehall,
Wise., Times—Millions of citizens
just don't seem to connect ever-
growing government with ever-
growing costs and taxes. They seem
to think that the government can
do the impossible and give us much
for nothing. So long as that blind-
ness is prevalent, the pressure on
the government to spend and spend
and spend, and tax and tax and
tax will be virtually irresistible.
