They know not, neither will they understand, they walk on in darkness.
Psa. 82:5. Not all men accept the light or truth. They prefer darkness
because thetr deeds are evil. Whole nations reject morality and truth;
they are mostly ragged and hungry, and certainly obsessed by frightful
fear.

Back to Nature
CUMMER is the time when millions of Americans take
'Plwi.t svi'ln infn 1 Villi I* l>UPU dll'
’wing. They pile into their ears, or onto buses, trains
and planes, and go about seeing their country.
For many of these folk it is not a matter oi gadding
around from one state to another, or one national park to
another. They practically abandon the baking brick and
steaming asphalt of the city for weeks or months, taking
up residence in the green countryside or on a sandy beach.
This is for such people 7i time of renewal. It is that re-
freshing moment of the year when they are reminded ot j
the elemental beauty of sky and land and water. I hey teel
soft soil and grass beneath their feet.
By day they look at a sky alternately a brilliant azure
and a pattern of blue puffed with the white of giant thun-
derheads. By night they see stars blinking like motionless
fireflies seen against a black dome.

rpHE friendly warmth of trees rich with foliage they find
1 all aland them. As the wind rustles through, it plays an
ageless melody to recall man's ancient ties to the land.
The affinity seems closer on fragrant summer mornings,
when dew wets the grass and makes the air come alive
with pleasant odors. And the link is complete as birds fill
the air with song.
Men belong to the land, indeed, to all nature. Some
never forget it, but millions do. They often so divorce
themselves from it that they come to believe they abhor it,
and actually prefer the artificial world ol' stone and steel
and smoke and grime.

SPHERE was no doubt that the
MOST psychologists will tell you that we all need a sense
of belonging. But is is not enough to leel that we be-
long to other people, wonderful satisfying though that is.
We need to belong to a place.
The lucky ones have a patch of earth they can call their
own, or at lesst can use and enjoy. The unfortunates have
no piece of ground they can claim, nor none they can de-
velop attachment for.
But the worst off are those who do not even yearn to
see and feel and know nature at first hand. They imagine
there are substitutes for this experience. But there are not.
The land and sky and water make a rich reservoir of
spiritual happiness. The land is an anchor that can help
to steady us. We need the feeling of renewal and the sense
of attachment that comes from identifying ourselves with
nature’s elements.
Our world might be a little saner if more of us remem-
bered this.
You either stick out your arm when making a turn in
your auto, or you stick out your neck.
The quickest way for husbands to irritate wives is to
stay out too much—or stay home too much.
Weekend trips let folks discover that they can get more
health out the open country than out of a medicine bottle.
Now is the best time to be on a four-party phone line.
Three parties might be away on vacation.

El Reno residents are being urged by C. C. Holden, city
manager, to help conserve the city’s dwindling water supply
by discontinuing their practice of sprinkling lawns and flow-
er gardens. The water situation is not acute now, it was ex-
plained, but water should be conserved to guard against
further shortage.

1?L Reno chapter No. 6 of the American War Dads is join-
ing the national organization in a membership drive which
opened July 1 and will continue until the national conven-
tion Oct. 17-19 in Omaha, Neb., Rev. A. C. Dilbberstein,
president of the local group, said today.
Apprentice Seaman Bobby E. Peterman, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Arvel Peterman, 1500 South Choctaw, who enlisted

San Diego, Calif., naval base.
Alan L. Keith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer C. Keith, 101
Nortli Macomb, left for Oklahoma City today to be inducted
into the navy.
When the El Reno city fire siren sounds off at 9 a. m.
Friday that’s the signal for every resident of El Reno who
has not done so already to grab up the bundles of waste
paper which lie has prepared for Boy Scout collectors and
place on the curb in front of his home.
giant-screen set was n whole
lot better, and Hfter seeing this
Milo wrestle a few times, even I
began to be convinced that it was
my Milo. This one called himself
"Mighty" too, but there was also
a Mighty Atlas and a Golden Apol-
lo. so just because Greeks liked to
be Greek, you couldn't go by that.
Honest, you couldn't keep Frederika
away from watching him. When-
ever he body-slannned the other
fellow which was all the time and
hard enough to break the tubes In
the set, she would call him names
so loud he must have heard them
whenever he was wrestling.
Business had got so bad that
every night when I came home I
could hardly look at Betty Jane. To
keep up her morals, 1 thought up a
Mr. Ziegenfuss, who was on the
verge of buying the biggest policy
I had sold up to then, but hadn't
fallen yet.
One night we were watching some
old-time actor who depended upon
a lot of hats for comedy, and she
kept laughing fit to bust. Then, out
of nowhere, she said. "I'm sorry,
but there doesn't seem to be any
wrestling on tonight. Don't you
often wish I hadn't stood In your
way? You might be famous now.”
“Of course not," I lied.
"But you are in the top of physi-
cal condition. I bet you could still
wrestle if you wanted to.”
"I made a solemn promise and
I mean to stick to it."
She practically crawled into my
arms. "Dear. I love you for being
so true.” Betty Jane said, "but 1
hate to think that I stood in your
way. You might have been rich and
famous now, like the Mightv Milo
is."
I lied again. "Not me.”
“Anyway, I've been looking up
about him. He is your Milo Paulus,
all right, und he lives in Omaha,
where he is wrestling next Tuesday
night. Why don't you take the train
out there and visit him?"
It was my first trip to Omaha,
so as the train approached I looked
out the window most of the time,
but I soon saw that I hadn't miss-
ed much. Why would anyone want
to live In a burg like this? I kept
thinking, but after I got off the
train at the station, I soon found
out. It is on account of the beef-
steaks. It seems that Omaha is a
center of file meat-packing indus-
try, which you do not need to have
anyone tell you. as you can smell it
in the air. On the train I had eaten
nothing but a few sandwiches, so
when I passed by a row of cafes
with signs advertising T-bone
steaks, I went into one. as if there
is one thing I am a sucker for, It
is T-bone steaks.
* * *
IIY tbe time I got to the place
0 where Milo was to wrestle that
night I was hungry again. I had
another T-bone steak.
Now that I felt better. I went Daek
and asked a fellow in the ticket of-
fice for Milo's address, as we were
old friends. He looked over all of
me that he could see in the window
and said. "I wouldn't of thought
he had a friend in the world, but
If he has It would be you."
As it was u kind of compliment.
1 think, I said, "Thank you.”
"It's five blocks down and two
over to the left. He lives upstairs.”
I followed directions, and "Milo's
New Hellas Restaurant" was let-
tered on the windows. Inside It
looked practically like the place
where he used to work when he I kid me, brother. Outside of Greeks
went to the old Y. I went to the I there ain't any, except one. You're
counter and a Greek came out. I
asked if Milo was around, but he
said, "Oppl sftimbers. pitch . . .”
no Greek ....'' Like that, she stop-
lied talking und put her hand to
her mouth. “Why, Honeyboy, is it
"No I am not asking what kinds 1 really you or do my eyes deceive

the boss is." j Realizing it was Dawn O’Day
"Boss door side,” he said, mo- j by her voice, I arose to the oc-
tionbtg around to the side of thejc.aslon, „In the flesh_alld x knew

A card over a bell button reads! you the minute 1 laid my e-ves on

A girl In a white uniform answer-
ed the door and when I asked If
Milo was in she said. "No, but the
missus is," which could have knock-
ed me over with a feather.
"I'm a friend of his," I said, and
she said, "Come on upstairs and
I’ll announce you." which sounded
pretty high-toned for Milo.
* * *
WASN'T nearly done looking
around when a real stout
woman came in. She was wearing
some kind of long, flowing dress
that was light blue in color. Her
hair was bright red and she would
have been good-looking if she
wasn’t so fat. I mean that she must
have tipped the scales at 217, or
maybe even at 218, as it is harder to
judge what a woman weighs be-
cause there are so many things you
can't be sure about.
She gave me the once-over and
said, "You have some business with
the Mighty Milo. I manage him.”
Site sure looked as though she
could, too, in more ways than on
the mat, but all I said was “I'd
like to see him. as we are old
friends."
She gave me a look I didn't like.
"You mean that you are one of
those who knew him when? Don't
that beautiful dress you’re wear-
ing. In spite of you having more
clothes on than I ever saw you
with before."
(To Be Continued)
CUvn,
nECKON a stinker is a stinker
wherever you find him and
there's no place off limits to these
unprincipled scoundrels who will
do anything providing the pay-
off Is big enough to justify the
risk. The gun-slingers of the wild
west days were Gallahads com-
pared to today's killers.
They were hired to kill and
knew their chances of not being
killed were only a little better
than even. The gangsters only ex-
pect to live high for a little while
and die young but the stinkers In
the seats of the mighty expect to
wax fat with retribution so far
off as to be unworthy of notice.
The hardest blow to the youth
of the nation as well as the avid
followers of the national pastime
Is to find a good ball player In-
dulging in practices both un-
sportsmanlike and dangerous. I'm
trying to forget the fireball pitch-
er of the San Antonio Missions,
Rinold Duren whose apparent aim
In life Is to cripple or kill a few
of the Oklahoma City Indians.
Dusting off a batter who crowds
the plate when he is ahead of the
pitcher Isn’t considered unjusti-
fied. Both the pitcher and the
batter know the risk.

Rare Flowers Are
Object of Search
SYDNEY, Aug. 3—(U.Rl-Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Peer of Los Angeles
would like to go into Indochina to
seek the only known yellow camelia
in the world.
"It was last reported 40 years
ago," Mrs. Peer said, adding that
it was seen in Wha t is now the
battle area of Indochina.
"All camellias today are red or
white, with variations of those two
colors. * Think of the wonderful
tones you could make by hybridiz-
ing a yellow camellia."
The couple also plan to go to
Japan, where a perfumed variety
is rumored to grow on a southern
island.
The Peers are successful camel-
lia detectives. Last year they
searched Europe for a rare variety
known as "flora pleno" which they
unearthed at Oporto, Portugal.
Peer, a music publisher, began
growing camellias nine years ago,
and he and his wife now have
5,000 shrubs in their garden.

UT when a pitcher is ahead
and all too frequently serves
up the old bean ball then there is
something other than that partic-
ular game at stake and it prob-
ably involves the manager as well.
Such carryings on has led to big-
ger and better battles between the
Indians and the Missions, result-
ing in the offending pitcher wind-
ing up in the hospital and Tommy
Tatum wearing the world's bright-
est shiner. This coupled with the
midseason sale of two better than
good Dallas players indicate a
conspiracy to keep the Indians
out of the first division.
There are still a few of us, I
hope, who cling to the belief that
the sacred precincts of the na-
tional pastime are still the land
of the free and the home of the
brave and that any violation of
the code brings retribution swift
and sure. That every person has
his price, I refuse to believe, much
evidence to the contrary; but
have thought when the search for
an honest man began the first
place to shine the lantern would
be in the world of baseball.
I hate to learn that, here too,
can be found the undesirables.

Syngman Rhee of
Korea, invited to Washington by
President Eisenhower, had several
run-ins with Alger Hiss during
World war II, according to Dr. You
Chang Yang, Korean ambassador
to the United States.
Rhee was in Washington then,
trying to stir up interest in post-
war Korean independence. He tried
to get the State Department to
approve sending him to Korea so
he could lead a revolt against the
Japanese.
"Many times he was unable to
see the division chiefs," says Am-
bassador Yang. "He had to be con-
tent with the cold and negative In-
tellectual arrogance of a young man
—now a number in a penitentiary-
hut then known as Alger Hiss. He
would listen with detached indif-
ference to the pleas of a leader
who had suffered exile. Imprison-
ment and torture in behalf of the
rights of man."
Dr. Yang told this story in a
recent speech at the Warren R.
Austin Institute of World Under-
standing at University of Ver-
mont. Dr. Yang also told an-
other story about President Rhee.
On one occasion Rhee had to
jump into a spare coffin to save
his skin. He was escaping to China
after a futile attempt to start a
Korean revolution in 1919. On the
way to China his ship docked at a
Japanese port. To avoid arrest,
Rhee occupied a coffin alongside
dead Chinese being returned to
their homeland for burial. A trust-
ed lieutenant, now Col. Ben C.
Limb, Korean ambassador to the
UN, stood guard over him in the
ship's hold.
* * *
DR. GEORGE W. CALVER,
the Capitol physician, makes it a
point to be on the Senate floor
whenever there are night sessions.
Senators suspect that their doctor
sticks around because he fears the
night sessions are a threat to their
health, and because of the high
death rate among senators this
year.
One senator accused Dr. Calver
of this openly. "Doc," he said. "You
look like an old turkey buzzard
hanging around for us to die."
Dr. Calver denied it “You men
are in your best condition when
you are speaking and campaigning.
The arm waving and exercise you
give your vocal cords is the princi-
pal thing that keeps you in shape."

in Patent Office copy cost ab
$50,000 a year. The total printi;
bill for the Patent Office r

Commissioner Watson has a
asked his examiners to be 1
