Have you ever been lonely?
If you have you know that the feeling of lonliness is a
terrible one. Its chief results are agonizing heartache and com-
plete apathy. A person who is lonely feels as if he is an in-
truder in the things that go on about him. He wants to flee
from a world of scornful faces and find refuge in some mythi-
cal land where all is good because the people there are friend-
ly and want him to become a part of them.
Lonliness lies deep in the
heart
It is an illness difficult
to cure. In many cases there is
no cure at all. This is usually
true if the disease has been al-
lowed to culminate in one's
heart and mind.Just as cancer
eats away the flesh so does
loneliness nibble at the fruit of one's personality leaving after
it has completed its feast a hard brittle empty shell pretty
but completely lacking strength.
There may be no cure but on the other hand a smile can
do wonders and perhaps eventually bring about the disease's
dissolving into new-found happiness. Smile at a person who
you know is suffering the pangs of this terrible malady. Smile;
vou make him happy and you are happy yourself in the know-
ledge that vou are acting as a physician to bring about a cure.
What if you have heard that some of the things that per-
son docs arc' not nice? Have you seen him do them? Do you
know for sure what you have'heard is true. After all what is
gossip but a jealous mind given vent of its malice by a cruel
tongue?
"You can't be sure but do you have to be? Must you know
if that person possesses a commendable character? Jesus has
told us that we are not to judge our fellowman or attempt to
find fault in him. We must accept a person for what he ap-
pears to be. It isn't our business to delve into the dark realms
of his personality and try to find a reason for everything he
does.
Smile be friendly help someone who is lonely. Make him
tool as if the world wants him; help him to realize that he is
not worthless of no use to anyone. If you can do this success-
fullv vou're worth your weight in gold.

'Star of Ihe Unborn' Is Profound If Not Possible;
At Any Rale It Provides Some Different Reading
By DALE GORE
It is the year A.D. 101945. We
arc dead our bodies incarnate in
the personage of a little man call-
edF.W. who finds himself walking
to Mime unknown destination clad
in the crumpled swallowtail coat
and cracked patent-leather shoes
in which he was long ago laid out
by a mortician.
This is the situation as we see it
at the opening of STAR OF THE
UNBORN a profound and spirit-
uals moving novel by Fran. Wer-
tel. the distinguished and incom-
parable author of THE SONG OF
BURNADETTE THE FORTY
DAYS OF MUSA DAGH. and oth-
er outstanding contributions to the
lifraturo of the world.
With the meeting of an old
fru.nd who politely calls F. W.'s
att -ntion to the fact that he is
in isable. a ridiculous note chimes
the theme of possibly one of the
guatest novels written during the
la-t ten years.
B.H. the friend informs the in-vi-
.hie one that he has been indis-
po ed ioi a period of a hundred
th us-ind sears in a region called
Pu gatory and has now been sum-
mi ncc to attend a wedding during
hi. thiee-da snujourn in this far-
a .ty.new oia.
Their destination is several mil-
lio i miles away. B H. at first is
as amded by the fact that F.W.
is ; t a los- to know how they shall
an ive there but admits that it is
tor much to expect from one who
has been dead a hundred thous-
and yeais. It seems that during
the years of F.W.'s lack of circu-
lation there has been perfected a
little gadget which with a cer-
tain amount of adjustment can
carry a person through unlimited
space in so short a time that its
passenger does not realize the
speed nor even the fact that he
has been transported.
F.W. willingly admits to his
friend that everything has certain-
ly changed. Among other odities
Lonliness Is
A Disease
of this new seemingly completely
transformed universe the grass is
no longer green but has now be-
come irongray with the appear-
ance of thick wax. Also cities
have long since been moved un-
derground where the use of elec-
tricity or electricity itself is un-
known. A pale yellow light glows
constantly in this peculiar region.
Upon arriving at the wedding
reception F.W. comes in contact
with this strange world's strang-
est atributes the people them-
selves. They are unclothed yet
appear to be fully attired. As F.W.
puts it "They were not obscenely
nude." Their bodies possess the
same waxy appearance as the
grass trees and other plants
though their skin is pale some-
thing like cream skimmed from
the top of a bottle of milk. Also
the human life span has increased
to about two hundred years with
health youth and vigor to the
end which comes only if the per-
son in willing. The grandmother
of the bride is considered queer by
her relatives and friends because
she is not willing not at all!
Dinner comes in six courses
three hot hciuids and thioo cold li-
quids each m a container the size
of an egg. But the strangest part
about it is that after one has par-
taken of this fare he is complet-
ely filled and his hunger is ap-
peased. The earth has indeed changed in
these ages. These changes how-
ever cannot excell the change in
man's physical and mental life.
"Man has emancipated himself
from all that burdened his life for
eons. The world of our story is
without economics without poli-
tics social problems technology
machinery labor; there is no po-
verty and disease; distance too
has ceased to exist. And yet man
has not succeeded in escaping
from himself as F.W. soon dis-
covered!" An atmosphere of suspense sur-
CASH CLAN JUST KEEPS ON
SENDING THEM TO COLLEGE
When Howard Payne College
enrolled 25-year-old E. C. Cash
at its first session way back in
1889-'90 a chain reaction of fam-
ily enrollments was set off that is
probably unequalled elsewhere in
the Howard Payne clan.
More than a dozen of Mr. Cash's
descendants including his four
children have followed him to
Howard Payne down through the
years and today his youngest
grandson Willis is enrolled here
as a pre-medical student.
Mr. E. C. Cash's oldest son
Lawson Cash entered Howard
Payne in the fall of 1915 and took
his degree in the summer of 1935.
He is now county superintendent
of schools in Callahan County.
Lawson Cash's oldest son Fos-
ter Cash entered Howard Payne
and lacked 10 semester hours hav-
ing his work for a degree com-
pleted when he withdrew to enter
the Army Air Force in 1940. Serv-
ing as a major Foster Cash was
killed in action in the Mediterran-
ean Theater of operations in
March 1944.
Lawson Cash's daughter Dor-
othy Jean entered HPC in the fall
of 1939 and was graduated in the
spring of 1942. Lawson Cash's sec-
ond son William Emory was gra-
duated from HPC in 1947.
Mrs. Tennie Reese a daughter
rounds F.W.'s visit. It it possible
that something is about to happen
which may be the turning point of
Astromental history? Certainly an
uneasy feeling is in the air. Is one
of the major calamities of human
history about to occur? What is to
happen to F.W. after his three
days' vacation?
In the course of the narrative
we are taken with F.W. on an ex-
pedition to the planets on one of
which he is shipwrecked. We
with F.W. receive an audience
with the Grand Bishop for the
Catholic Church is one of the two
institutions of our time which
have survived and with the High
Floater from whom we learn the
shaoe of the universe.
In STAR OF THE UNBORN
Fran. Werfel has his memorial.
He has built with his pen a monu-
ment that will long endure. Stone
shall decay steel shall molt to
ashes but the genius of this noble
writer this profound thinker of
the ages shall shine through truly
a. a star ol the unborn.

cellence. Both were graduated
with the highest honors the school
could confer. They then joined the
faculties of the Juliard and Man-

making regular appearances on
the Garry Moore television show.
