HARDY PERENNIAL
Since publication last week of the story about the Fran-
cis water situation we have detected a certain coolness—
not to say huffiness—in certain Francis residents They feel
apparently that we deliberately and with malice went out
of our way to "give the town a black eye"
This of course is ridiculous We have nothing against
Francis—nor against Roff nor Stonewall nor any other
county community Nor do we feel that the piece in ques-
tion had any denigrating effect on Francis's reputation
Francis after all is not to blame if the pumping equipment
on the Frisco wells broke down And if in the emergency
the town turned to the only other available source of water
the old open wells in the Canadian bottom—what else could
it have done?
Moreover as the story pointed out Francis did what
It could to remedy things by opening an abandoned oil well
In an attempt to find good water Here again it isn't Fran-
cis's fault that the well when opened produced gas as well
as water
As a matter of fact we feel that Francis met a difficult
situation with determination and with a good deal of in-
genuity and civic spirit
If the solution has not yet been found it hasn't been
for lack of trying
If the town had sat back and simply accepted an inferior
water supply there might indeed have been occasion for
blame And surely not even the most partisan defender
of the town's reputation would maintain that FranTis's
water drawn from those wide-open wells is safe and of
good quality
Granting that a great many people have been drinking
out of those wells for a great many years without dying
from the effects—that is hardly an argument in favor of
continuing to take chances with them
'When we see a man driving 90 miles an hour down the
highway we don't say "He hasn't killed himsel& yet so
obviously he's a safe and careful driver"
Even though he may continue to drive like a fool for
years without coming to grief we know that he has greatly
lengthened the odds against his dying of old age
And the fact that Francis hasn't yet had to cope with
an epidemic of typhoid or dysentery is no guarantee that
it won't happen day after tomorrow
All these things being true what is the WEEKLY ex-
pected to do—shut its eyes tight or turn its gaze faithfully
southward instead of north and comment rapturously on
the approach of spring?
This whole situation is one of the hardy perennials of
the newspaper business A newspaper if it is to be of any
service whatever to its community must report on what's
going on it must speak of the "bad" as well as the "good"
If it ignores the "trouble spots" it's failing in one of its
most important functions
Yet there are always those who want to suppress what
they call "bad publicity" Remember the Wagoner voting
scandal? No doubt there were many people who would
have preferred to keep the affair out of the newspapers
But can any of us seriously argue that it would have been
better to turn the other way to say nothing to let the
situation run on as it was?
Some of our readers may not be aware of the constant
battle being fought by newspapers to keep the public in-
formed about matters of public concern Our whole demo-
cratic system of government to which we pay such devoted
lip service depends largely on the free operation of a free
press Yet government officials from the top echelon down
to the bottom have a strong tendency to sit on any informa-
tion which they think may make them "look bad"
Even some of the rest of us short-sightedly go along
with that attitude There were perfectly respectable citi-
zens "good Americans" who maintained that the original
Vanguard fiasco should have been kept out of the news-
papers We goofed the failure made us look bad so we
should have resolutely said nothing whatever about it
clamped a tight censorship lid on all the newspapers and
conducted all future tests in profound secrecy
The Vanguard project is a far cry from the Francis
water situation But the principle is the same in both
cases They are both matters of public concern one on the
national and one on the local level In both cases the
people whose lives are affected by them have a right to
know what the situation is and what is being done about it
It's up to the newspapers to air this information
And the newspaper that dodges that part of its task
might as well sell its press for junk and let its reporters find
jobs with the secret police

In Remembrance
Lesson for March In 1958
I T IS curious important and
1 tragic all at the lime time: the
very acts which are s:Rciallypre-
cious to all kinds of Christians
have been through the centuries
the center of debates and quarrels
and splits in churches The church
as a whole cannot even agree on
what to call these 1 " :
acts the simple -:0-1101' N':
acts we call Bap-
''
tism and the '
Lord's Supper ‘
Most churches k ''1
"
call them "sac- :
raments" but as
k
that is not a Bi- L' 1- 51 '
1
ble word many
churches call
D
them "ordi-
r Foreman
nances" though as a matter of
fact that word is not used in con-
nection with Baptism or the Lord's
Supper anywhere in the New Tes-
tament (I Cor 11:2 is a mistrans-
lation in the King James version
the Greek word there means sim-
ply "tralitions")
Outward Signs
Let the reader call these what
he will If he goes to almost any
Christian ch:Arch ht will observe
some time or other these two
simple acts or rites called every-
where Baptism and the Lord's
Supper The way the thing is done
varies from church to church but
If one listens carefully the same
Bible words are always used In
Latin Greek or English or any
other tongue it is the same in all
churches
They are very simple acts They
are the sort of act that is called
a "symbol"—that is it means
very little in itself but it carries
the weight of a great truth and
shines with the glory of a great
experience Baptism is a kind of
washing but even immersion or
"trine immersion" where the per-
son is put under the water three
times is not a real bath Likewise
the amount of bread and wine in
I communion service would not
satisfy a hungry man ("If any
man is hungry let him eat at
home" said Saint Paul) These
acts are tokens of something else
One of the best descrirtions of
them and the most famous is
"outward signs of inward grace"
These sacraments or ordinances
or just "acts" if you don't like
technical words are visible things
very simple things too But when
the church thinks of them she
thinks beneath the surface She
thinks of the inward grace and the
outward sign at the same time
Inward Grace
The inward grace which the
church finds in the sacraments or
ordinances is not a human grace
such as (for example) the wor-
shipper's own humility or love or
purity such graces are always
fallible—they can break down too
easily — and often feeble The
grace of which the acts are sym-
bols is God's grace His loving
favor His profound concern the
overflowing of His Father-heart
The Gospel In Sign Language
A famous theologian once called
the sacraments the Gospel in sign
language Now to mystical and
emotional Christians they are
more than this: but not all Chris-
tians are mystics probably most
of them are not And this much is
true for all Christians however
much more may be discovered:
the observance of baptism and the
Lord's Supper reminds the wor-
shipper of vital Gospel truths For
example the water of baptism
could not rightly be replaced by
wine or nil for water is a sign of
cleansing and remindsus that our
sins have soiled us we need the
cleansing power of the Spirit The
broken bread and the outpoured
wine taken in remembrance of our
Lord bring back to us even with
out words His sacrifice for us
In these days when the church
Is more than ever world-wide a
traveling Christian may flid him-
self in a distant land in a church
where he does not understand a
single word Yet if there is a bap-
tism or if the Lord's Supper is
observed then at once he knows
himself by these signs to be at
home

Modern methods of cleaning
hardwood floors have been simpli-
fied and made quite inexpensive
through buffing with steel wool
Smoother floors result The smooth-
er the floor the easier to clean
Floor seals can be applied and
buffed in with this equipment This
procedure was originated for clean-
ing and treating floors of Northern
hard maple and birch but the
method is satisfactory for other
hardwood species

in Oklahoma occur where there
is some sort of traffic control such
as stop signs stop lights no pass-

IT'S
THE
LAW
JUST LIVING IS A BUSINESS
Just living these days is a lot
more complicated than it was in
the days of ''great grandpa"
Back then he wasn't covered by
Social S e u rity or Workman's
Compensation He didn't have a
bank account probably or a safe
deposit box Too it is likely he
didn't have a car and a dozen
home appliaeces bought on time
payment or a half dozen insur-
ance policies We have taxes
great grandpa never heard of and
wouldn't have believed if he had
And if you had asked him for a
certificate to prove his birth he
would have thought you'd taken
leave of your senses
The point of this is that the
average American today has a
good many important papers to
keep track of There are birth
certificates receipts copies of
tax returns sales contracts and
a host of other papers With a
little tidy record-keeping you t n
make life easier for yourself and
your family when you are gone
Here are some suggestions:
1 Get a heavily bound notebook
folder or file folder as a central
collecting point for all the records 4
of your affairs
2 Put your especially important
papers in your safe deposit box
but make a list of those papers
and a brief summary of their
contents to put in your home file
3 Get for your files copies of
birth certificates for all members
of the family and add them to
the file Add your marriage li-
cense or at least a statement as
to when and where you were mar-
tied and by whom
4 Insert your will or a copy
of it If your will is kept else-
where include a note telling where
it may be found
5 During the year put into the
file your income tax withholding
statements and receipts for ex-
penditures which may be deduc-
tible Then keep a copy of each
year's tax return in the file
6 Make a list of all the stocks
and bonds you own and where
they are
7 List all the places you have
lived and worked and the n ores
of persons there whom you knew
Include the schools you have at-
tended and the dates you i':ft
were graduated
8 If you may have benefits
coming under a prolit-sharin4
plan where you work ma ka a
note of that too
9 If you're in doubt about whe-
ther an item should be included
put it in
This takes time initially but it
will say you both time and worry
in the long run
