It won’t be long now before Leroy Collins becomes governor of Florida. How will Key West and Monroe County fare under his governorship? You may find that answer in Collins himself. His jrecord in public life shows he is the type of man who neither plays favoritifm nor is he motivated by petty grudges. Monroe. County, as well as every other county in Florida, will be given a fair deal by Governor Collins, The Citizen believes that Monroe County will get those catwalks on the Overseas Highway bridges that have been promised for a year or so. Reeently in The ‘Citizen, Senator-elect Bill Neblett complained about the delay in constructing the walks, and Cecil Webb, chair- man of the State Road ‘Department, who has not shown a kindly regard for Monroe County, replied that the rea- gon why no allotment had been made for them in the latest ions for expenditures by the department was because the board member from this district did not put them on the priority list. That might or might not have been buck passing, but of one thing we may be certain: Chairman Webb is a hard man to corner about anything of an adverse nature that pertains to him or his depart- ment. Another question that has been asked The Citizen concerns Senator Neblett and Representative Papy, Will ‘they work together or will they be-at loggerheads? Only they themselves can answer that question definitely. They are reasonable men, and The Citizen believes both are bent on promoting the welfare of the people they repre- sent. They know, as well as their constituents know, they ¢an accomplish little, so far as Monroe County is con- cerned, if they don’t work in accord, because what Papy does in the hoyse can be killed by Neblett in the senate, and what he does.in the senate, pertaining to Monroe, can be killed by Papy in the house, What is true of Neblett in Monroe is alio true of him in three other counties in his senatorial district. His task is not an easygone, and The Citizen believes he will be guided, in each pf the counties he represents, by what he conceives to be the will of a majority of his constituents Regarding proposed legislative acts, Americans are great denouncers of the wrongs done by others and great proclaimers of their own personal end national virtues.

CORNELL BOSTON —The cooperative church movement today needs to do some important fence mending. That’s the view of leaders of the National Council of Churches, “Much has been done,” declares a preliminary report. “Much re- mains to be done.” Although the interdenomination- al agency has become a vast, many-sided opera tion, officials said it has weak spots that should be braced up to make it more effective. The needs cited include: 1, Means to give the masses of denominationally secluded church members more personal contact ;and experience with interchurch activities so they can know first- hand the values of cooperative Christian labors, 2. Setting up of comprehensive information - gathering machinery on a national scale to show where the churehes are doing their job in society and where they're fail- ing — so tacties can be planned accordingly. 3. Increased participation by laymen—along with the clergy—in church cooperative work. 4. Further bolstering of the council’s financial resources to Provide a margin for more flexible operations and a reserve to protect against temporary income slumps. 5. Bringing currently nonpartici- pating denominations which share faith in a divine Chrst into the movement. Although not named, the principal nonmembers are the Southern Baptists, Roman Catho- lics and Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. 6. Clearer channels of commu- nication between local, state and national councils of churches and more decentralized council meet- Lew se fp ata areas to ¢ wing from the bottom up. “State and local constituencies want guidance on the basis of Policies and plans acceptable to all units of the council,” the bien- nial executive report says. “They do not want patterns dictated by national staff people.” The call for giving more rank- and-file Christians personal ex- perience in interdenominational af- fairs came from Dr. Roswell Barnes, the council’s associate general secretary. “One of the major tasks,” he said,-“‘is to bring more of our members into extensive ecumen- ical experience and ... into deep- er understanding of the ecumen- ical perspective.” He said clergymen and laymen who have taken a direct. part in interchurch activities have a “quite different” outlook from the bulk of churchgoers who are ac- quainted only with their own ehureh. This difference in Perspective, he said, is “deep-seated and quite difficult to’ deal with.” Those who have had face-to-face relationships with other churches see their own church in “the uni- versal perspective” of Christian- ity, he said, while many others see their own church as a realm of values limited to itself. He said this. doesn’t mean that the ecumenically experienced Christian is “less loyal” to his own chirch—but that he is some- what like the overseas traveler who “gains appreciation for the culture and problems of others without thinking less of his own national heritage.” Key West In Days Gone By E.

It's certain- ly not my intention to teach (or preach!) — because a quote from one of Jack London’s books pretty well surmises my life-long philoso- phy: “Every man has a right to go to hell in his own way,” You know something though?. >. That quote can get a fellow into a lot of trouble. Such a philosophy is merely a poor excuse for cover- ing up mistakes. There are much better quotes which produce more constructive thinking and “happier living — for example, “This is the day which the Lord hath made. . . rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalms 118:24). I have a friend who claims that it is easier to live oneself into righteous thinking that it is to think oneself into righteous living. Arguing pro or con about such a statement is sort of like debating which came first — the hen or the egg? As a matter of fact, to adopt an argumentative attitude toward any subject pertaining to religion is quite foolish. ‘‘This Rock of Ours’’ suggests that you turn to the church news in today’s Citizen and read what experts have to say con- cerning God and man’s relation- ship to Him.

If any of you readers have a habit of doing this, India, America Can Achieve Good Relations By EUGENE LEVIN NEW DELHI, India w—Ameri- ean and Indian relations are severely strained, but it should not take much to bring about a new period of good will between the two countries. This conelusion emerges from a survey of diplo- mats, officigls and businessmen— including some Americans—work- jing and residing in India, Most of these observers agree differences in foreign policy are the main cause of American-Indian antagonisms. ; “There’s no anti-Americanism among us,” said an Indian Official with finality. “We do not like your government’s foreign policy, and there was considerable irritation when you gave arms aid to Pakis- tan; but that doesn’t mean we're anti-American.” An American educator, here sev- eral years, seconded this opinion and added: “Sure, many Americans here complain of anti-Americanism. But those who complain loudest usually do so for personal reasons. If something goes wrong in their work out here, or if they fail in their jobs, they find it easy to blame Indian ‘anti-Ameérican- ism.” However, a European diplomat, whose view seemed to be support- ed by most surveyed, felt that in New Delhi at least there is a cer- tain amount of anti-Americanism. He commented: “On an individual level most | Indians and Americans get along beautifully. Outside. New Delhi there is nothing like ‘anti-Ameri- canism.’ “It's in New Delhi where it’s felt.

But the “best” kind of. cavity is the small- est kind. Don’t let them grow! Look for them and have your Den- tist examine. your teeth at least ‘twice a year. Dental x-rays are the best way to find small cavities. This is of special importance for chiltiren. Their teeth have cavities, too. Save time, trouble and money by keeping healthy teeth and a heal- thy mouth, attacks on American foreign pol- icy by the Prime Minister (Jawa- harlal Nehru) and other high of- ficials that many Indians in New Delhi cannot help but be stirred emotionally against Americans.” India has never agreed fully with the U.S. policy of building up an anti-Communist coalition. Wash- ington, on the other hand, always has been cool toward India’s ad- vocacy of peaceful coexistence with the Reds. Despite this dispute, India and the United States have maintained fairly good relations. The foreign policy disagreement exploded with the U.S. decision to give military aid to Pakistan, But an Indian newspaperman said: “Nehru could change the whole attitude in this country toward Americans by a single statement.” PEOPLE’S FORUM APPRECIATION EXPRESSED Editor, The Citizen: Please allow us to express our sincere ap presistion and heartfelt thanks for your very kind cooperation and assistance in making the Conch Bowl Queen contest and dance a great success, We do appreciate it and if, at any time, the Key West Lions Auxiliary can serve you, please feel free to call on us, it will be a pleasure to Serve. “Thanks again, MRS. PAUL G. ALBURY, Secretary SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (Latin American By RALPH ROGERS In Time of Trouble. Psalm 143; 46° Troubles? Who doesn’t have them? Ffiends try to help. When one fails to find relief there is always one Place to go — to God in prayer. This, as in every age, men have their troubles. In 1801 Wilberforce said, “I dare not marry, the fu- ture is so uncertain.” In 1806 Wil- liam Pitt sat, ‘There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair.” In 1848 Lord Shaftesbury said, “Nothing can save the Bri- tish Empire from shipwreck.” In 1849 Disraeli voacagteg “In in- dustry, agriculture, commerce there is no pe ee Sa the dying Duke ellington “I thank God I shall be spared to hid’ but rather a place of hope. Too many have soight that refuge and found the guidance and assur- | ance which enables them to carry | the heavy load. Religion has pro- ven a tower of strength. It has been the inspiration which enabled good men to carry on in a crusade against despair and evil, George Muller was considered a little queer. He organized the Bris- | tol Orphan's Home and depended entirely upon prayer to get the re-| venues to feed the many mouths committed to his care. Some one| said to him,‘‘You seem to be liy- ing from hand to mouth.” Muller replied, “Yes, I do just that. It’s | my mouth but it’s God’s hand.” He | from seeing the consummation of the ruin that is gathering around us.” We should thank God that our great men feel their dependence on divine guidance. Lincoln found the need of prayer when faced with the problems confronting him. Wil- son believed in prayer and had his cabinet kneel. with him as he ask- ed for divine guidance. Eisenhow- er found that he needed more than his own judgment and the counsel of friends when he assumed the office as the Chief Executive of these United States. Like Solomon of old, they prayed for an “un- derstanding cover the whole range of worship from hymns of praise and thanksgiving to the prayers of the lonely, anguished souls seeking light and guidance. In our lesson today we find that source of support in our troubles which lifts the load from our weary minds and give us comfort from the burdens of the day. This Psalm starts with a wail and a whine as we hear the cry of a disturbed and troubled man. David had many harrying éxper- iences and was in trouble with King Saul. As he hid in the cave of group of faithful followers, he here expressed his dismay. Here he resorts to his rich reli- gious experience and talks to Je- hovah about his problems. David’s future success and victories were | no doubt due to his implicit trust in divine guidance. We find in this Psalm that Da- vid tells of his troubles and then follows with his trust in Jehovah. David had a right to be desperate. The mighty army of King Saul was tracking him down. He had hidden himself in a cave and no doubt was frightend, so much so that he felt that he could never get out of it. He said, “No man careth for my soul.” When all other helpers | fail, God is every ready to lighten the burden and show us the way out of any difficulty. John Scott Douglas. tells in his book, “The Mystery of the Sea Bell,” of a youngster named Ron- nie who was doing deep-sea diving been instructed to follow the com- mands of the man on deck who pumped oxygen to the diver. This Ronnie did and changed his steps as the tide would change. Had Ron- nie not have obeyed the directions given him his life would have been in great danger. So it is with the Christian who walks the floor of| this earth and unless he heeds the instructions of the Man above, he might perish. Ever-Ready Relief Not only do we have a source of relief, but it is ever at hand. The Psalmist said, “Thou art my refuge.” God is ever present. We may have strayed us out and lends the necessary assistance when! needed. The cynic will sneer and} like far'too many today say, “re- | | ligion is only a plate to hide from | reality.” It is passing strange then that so many of our great leaders have found the help in time of need | from their trials and problems. The word ‘refuge’ is not a place from the Seaspray. Ronnie had | she tells of the many times when they | had nothing ahead and in answer | to prayer the funds seemed to ar- rive miraculously, God answers prayers. Troubles Disappear The 46th Psalm answers our pro- blems when in trouble. It says, God is “‘a very present help in time of trouble.” Some have likened this Psalm to the time when the armies of Sennacherib came roar- ing down on Israel like “A wolf on a fold.” The threat was terrify- ing and the Israelites were won- dering how they could withstand the assault of the mighty Assyrian | military machine. Nothing had) haulted the onrushing of ‘the terri-| ble horde of warriors but it was | halted, at the very gates of Jeru-| salem. Surely. God had some special plan for the American colonies. In the early years of the Revolutionary War Washington was trapped in New York. It seemed an easy mat- ter for the British forces to cap- ture him and thus end the struggle. However that night a heavy fog enabled. that “Old Fox” to escape. Later in the War of 1812 General Cockburn entered the city of Wash- ington on the 24th of August, 1814 | and burned the capitol, the Library of Congress and the White House. Dolly Madison save the original Declaration of Independence and Stuart’s portrait of Washington. A heavy rain put out the fires. Did God have a hand in the affairs of our nation? There is something in the cons- ciousness that God is present. He is near, available and adequate for any trouble. In time of trouble, storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, tidal waves or in any calamity, man is frantic, helpless, unless he puts his faith in God. This gives one a calm serenity and fear dis- appears. The man of faith lives above the storms of life and keeps knows that God -is.ever near and no trouble or difficulty is.too great. If my religion’s not all That it ought to be, The trouble’s not with God, The trouble’s with me. (Author unkhown) on copyrighted outlines no nag Dt of Christ.
