Disqualified
Americans read with shock the story of the col-
lapsing grandstand which killed two and injured
scores at the Indianapolis Speedway. But that was
not the real horror.
The horror was that hundreds could sit within
10 to 50 feet of the tragedy and display brutal, cal-
lous, unbelievable indifference to it.
They could look upon a toppled stand with
dozens caught in a tangle of metal and bodies. They
could hear moans and screams.
Did they rush in force to help the dying and the
injured? They did not. A few7 dug into the wreck-
age to help extricate the victims. The rest some-
how shut their ears and closed their eyes. They went
on casually drinking beer and munching fried
chicken.
They had come to see an automobile race, and
they did not intend to allow the sound of human dis-
tress—however close—to distract them.
Often we hear it said that, no matter how indif-
ferent people may be to the difficulties of those re-
mote from them, they respond fully and quickly
when trouble strikes close by. This accident was at
the spectator”s very feet—and they merely looked
away.
Their terrible unconcern for humans in trouble
is a staggering commentary on this selfish age of
ease and comfort.
These people are takers, not givers. They put
their personal pleasure and comfort above all. Even
that ultimate cry, the scream of a human being in
pain, falls on deaf ears.
One wonders how many among them pay hom-
age to the abstract idea of “human welfare.’” They
had a chance to make it a living thing, and they
failed shamefully.
One wonders, too, how many among them vote
for a president who perhaps promises to help the lit-
tle fellow. At Indianapolis, some little fellows had
a chance to help their own—and they turned it
down.
Those who did are back at work or at home
now. But they are not the same, nor will they ever
be again. They left part of their individual humanity
at the race track. They just sloughed it off, with
another bite of chicken and a swig of beer.
.They may have seen a race. But while they
watched it they fell out of step with the human race.
IT OCCURS TO ME
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
JEFFERSON, OHIO, GAZETTE: “A survey of
some 900 communities recently revealed that
youngsters stand a better chance of living a crime-
free life if they come from rural areas, or from
small cities, than if they are reared in metropolitan
areas
“All of which goes to prove, once again, that the
strength of America lies in rural areas and in small
towns, where close family ties, an orderly and super-
vised life, and the basic, traditional values of
society, are still more keenly appreciated.”_
Thought for the Day
Then a throne will be established in steadfast
love and on it will sit in faithfulness in the tent of
David one who judges and seeks justice and is swift
to do righteousness. —Isaiah 16:5.
* * *
God’s mercy is a holy mercy, which knows how
to pardon sin, not to protect it; it is sanctuary for
the penitent, not for the presumptuous.
—Bishop Reynolds.

By ED SCHNEIDER, President
Elect, Taylor Optimist Club
Needless to say I was very
flattered when requested by Lin
Mills to do one of his columns
while he is on vacation. Since
this will be a “first” for me it
may very well be a “last” also.
Having been elected as pres-
ident of the Taylor Optimist
club for the coming year I will
take this opportunity to present
a little information about the
club of which the general public
may not be aware.
What is Optimism?
An Optimist club is an active
organization for building,
through fellowship, friendship
harmonious cooperation, con-
structive civic achievement.
Each club is made up of select-
ed individuals with a desire to
share in the responsioilities
and benefits of community pro-
gress. Our slogan is “Friend of
the Boy.” Someone once describ-
ed Optimism as “A cheerful
frame cf mind that enables a
teakettle to sing though up to
its nose in hot water.” But there
is more to Optimism than a tea-
kettle's whistle. It is a sound
philosophy of life, the kind of
hopeful and helpful attitude that
has brought thousands of busi-
ness and professional, men into
organized Optimism.
The service club idea, of
which an Optimist club is a di-
rect descendant, is as old as the
culture of ancient Greece. Just
how long Optimist clubs have
existed on a local scale is not
known but the earliest ones or
record were in Buffalo, N. Y.,
Denver, Colo., Louisville, Ky.,
and Washington, D. C. as early
as 1911.
The idea did not attain na-
tional or international signifi-
cance until June, 1919, in Louis-
ville, Ky., when representatives
of eleven Optimist clubs gath-
ered for the first time for dis-
cussion of mutual objectives and
activities. Efforts on behalf of
boys predominated and still is
the common denominator which
induces the participation of all
Optimist clubs. This was the
begining of Optimist Interna-
tional and the start toward the
establishment of Optimist clubs
throughout North America.
The mainstay of every Optim-
ist club’s program is activation
of the slogan “Friend of the
Boy,” thus providing every
member with the opportunity to
relive his youth by working
with boys.
The Taylor Optimist club
sponsors a Boy Scout troop, a
Little League team, Youth Ap-
preciation Week, Bike Safety
Week, and a boys Oratorical
Contest. Funds to carry out
these many activities have
been raised in the past by the
sale of Christmas Trees and
sponsoring Talent Shows.
Never let it be said that a
town is too small, or a city too
large for Optimism. The oppor-
tunity for service is a loose
mold that fits every community.
The pattern of club activity is
tailored by the ingenuity and
civic consciousness of its mem-
bers. Optimist clubs everywhere
have justified their existence
many times over. A town with
an Optimist club is a progress-
ive town.
The Optimist Creed
To be strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and
prosperity to every person you
meet.
To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of
everything and make your op-
timism come true.
To think only of the best, to
