EARLE SMITH'S
year, were recognized.
Mrs. Carol Jones, Shon
and Brooke of Bangs spent
the weekend with Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon Brookshier.
This prayer, “Prayer for
Farmers”, appeared in the
Grand Forks Hearld Farm
and Home Sheet: “As farm-
ers and ranchers, dear God,
give us the patience and wis-
dom to understand why a
pound of steak at $1.80 is
high’, but a three-ounce
cocktail at $1.50 is accept-
able.
And Lord help me to
understand why $3 for a
ticket to a movie is ‘not bad’,
but $3.50 for a bushel of
v^heat that makes 50 loaves
of bread is considered un-
reasonable..
And a 50-cent coke at a
ball game is ‘okay’, but a 20-
cent glass of milk for break-
fast is inflationary.
Cotton is ‘too high’ at
65 cents a pound, but a $20
shirt is viewed as a bargain.
And corn is 'too steep' at
3-cents worth in a box of
flakes, but the flakes are
sold for 50-cents a serving.
And also, Lord, help me
understand why I have to
give an easement to the gas
company so they can cross
my property with their gas
lines, and before they get it
installed the price of gas has
doubled.
And .while you’re at it
dear God, please help me
understand the consumer
who drives by my field and
raises his eyebrows when he
sees me driving a $30,000
tractor that he helped put
together so he could make
money and drive down that
right-of-way they took
from me to build a road on so
he could go hunting and
skiing.
Thank you, God, for your
past guidance. I hope you
can help me make some
sense out of all this. And
please, God, send some
rain."-
My thanks to those who
are so faithful and turn in
news items.
