Oh the poplars burn gold fn the sheen of the sun, And the little winds Whisper and sing, For a sparkle of dew As it catches the skies Is a twinkle of blue And it matches her eyes; Let the forests turn gold In the shee,n of the sun, In my heart it is springIt is spring.

Adam Smith once sa,id ,n"a ati. smallest men can, under proper circumstances, project elongated shadows against the wall and thus become giants.

Nearly 2,000 years "*o l"rl. i"u rr"r,a"d down this bit of advice to the Thessalonians: "And that ye study to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your own hands."

Such advice was not needed then, but if Paul were around here today he would probably suggest that mankind do more walking and less riding, in addition to his other suggestions.

When the Ruskies in the United Nations tried to get Outer Mongolia into that strange assortment of nations, several writers suggested that they also admit Texas, as being just as wise and fair a move. ***

Right away I rvanted to vote for that. In my mind's eye I could see Texas represented on the floor of the UN by someone like Jim Bowie of early Texas fame.

Still in fancy I "o.rta ".1 J. ; those foul-mouthed Ruskies rise to his feet, as has been done so often on that foor, and start shouting insults at the United States of America. Need I tell you, dear friends, what would happen in that case? And wouldn't I like to be there to see it?

This country and ia" g.l.;*]rr. rru" been openly, deliberately, and shockingly insulted in the UN more times than in all of its other history combined. And we sat there and took it. Why? ***

Sir Walter Scott had Roderic Dhu say in his "Lady of the Lake": "I right such wrong where'er 'tis given, even tho it be in the court of heaven." I would have a lot more respect for the United Nations if some sound American had

drug one of those Rusky insulters to the nearest door and kicked him down the steepest stairway.

It is the duty of every loyal American to protest till the heavens fall at everything our government does that seems to him to be wrong. The grea,t Henry David Thoreau protested the Federal government's tolerance of slavery by refusing to pay his poll tax. They put him in jail.

His friend and fellow philosopher, Emerson, came to the jail and exclaimed in surprise: "What are you doing in here?" And Thoreau, also acting surprised, replied: "And what are you doing out th*ere?" *

General George Washington issued the order that caused Thomas Paine's "American Crisis" to be read aloud to his army, in which Paine said: "Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more *glorious the triumph."

Recently we celebrated Boy Scout Week, with the Scout theme, "Onward for God and Country." It was 48 years ago that the Boy Scouts were organizedby Lord Baden-Powell, in England, and it has spread over 53 nations since that time, building boys and future men. It is one of the great organizations of modern history, without a flaw in its purpose or its operation. We are a much better nation because of the Boy Scouts. Encourage them.

Recently our young Assistant Secretary of State, Herbert Hoover, Jr., made a most important speech that missed the headlines it deserved. He went to West Germany and there he made a speech in which he compared and contrasted East Germany, as it exists today under Soviet rule, and West Germany, a free nation under Western guardianship. He compared the hopeless, helpless people of the Eastern sphere, slaves of a sordid master, with the free and hopeful people of the West. No better defense of the free way of life, as opposed to the Soviet darkness, could be found than compaging those two divisions of former Germany. The people of the 'West are better dressed, better fed, better housed, better in every way, enjoying not only the comforts of freedom, but its privileges as well. It was a worthy speech, marvelously illustrated by the subjects hediscussed.

What an interesting spectacle we have been seeing in this country lately in the published and much discussed controversy between Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur. Was ever such a contrast? One of the world's most gifted speakers, writers, historians and thinkers, as well as a soldier a,nd patriot of world renown, against a
