It's the bumps you get, and the jolts you get, And the shock that your courage stands; The hours of sorrow and vain regret, The prize that escapes your hands That test your mettle, and prove your worth. It isn't the blows you dea,l, But the blows you take on this tough old earth, That show if your stuff is real.

A cartoon in "Fox Chatter" shows an employer behind his desk telling some of his employes: "Mind you, these are only suggestions, and you don't have to follow them; unless, of course, you want ,? O._"0 your jobs."

"How do I keep such good neighbors?" asked the old mountaineer. "f reckon it's because I spend so much time criticizing myself that I ain't got time to find fault with others. The Lord don't expect me to make anybody good but myself, but He does expect me to love my neighbors, and try to make 'em happy. And if I can do that, maybe it'll work around the other way, and make them good, and me big."

"Fellowship is as old "":;. i. t. ,r,or. than the impetuous comradeship of youth. It is the settled faith of men in men. It knows no boundary of nation, creed, or calling. It asks only an open heart, a cheerful coqntenance, an honest purpose, and a will to understand."-(From a Rotary Club bulletin.)

Sometimes for decades- "* l".r generations, there is little noticeable progress in the human race. And then, from nowhere (because, remember, that is where all the truly great come from) there arises some son of God well equipped with the attributes of his Maker, and he brushes aside the fences which small men strive in vain to climb, and the world feels a tr"": "1*1.d and upward impulse.

There may be a man child born today who will be the glory of his generation; but it is a copper-riveted cinch that his advent will be announced o,nly when he arrives, and his greatness will be known only as it proves itself. His coming will not be announced in advance but will be known qnly to the closest friends of modest parents. Greatness and modesty go ever hand in hand.

Thomas Dreier writes of "the magical power of politeness and the failure of so many of our citizens to appreciate that magic." He says that "too fed appreciate gentlemanliness as an asset," and concludes: "I wonder, as I watch the floods of each spring rolling out of the colleges and universities, to what extent, if any, we teach these youngsters to be gentlemen and gentlewomen. Would you care to guess?"

Seventy-two years .r" i"rir"rl Graham Sumner created the phrase-"The Forgotten Man," and described him thus: "The Forgotten Man, delving away in patient industry, supporting his family, paying his taxes, casting his vote, supporting the church and the school, but he is the only one for whom there is no provision in the great scramble, and the big divide He works, he votes, generally he praysbut he always pays. All the burdens fall on him."

Boldness and publicity often go hand in hand. Los .dngeles, as all men know, is cursed with what is called smog. A Phoenix, Arizona, real estate firm recently invaded that city with billboards, on which cartoons show people weeping from the smog, and i-n large type the question is asked: "HAD ENOUGH?" And advises: "TRY PHOENIXARIZONA'S VALLEY OF THE SUN." **t<

The philosophy has been often repeated: "It makes no difference who your father was; the question is, who is his son?" Earl Wilson quotes Mike Connolly as saying the same thing this way: "You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was."

The story is told as an actual fact about a lady in a small city who undertook on her own account a bit of research concerning the children of today. She made a personal telephone poll to ask pa,rents who answered the phone during the evening hours, "Do you know where your children are right now?" The poll backfired when many of her phone calls were answered by children who didn't know where their parents were.

Definite figures rt o* ttiat lh.*"rrto*obile manufacturers of the United States sold 9,169,144 cars and trucks in 1955, more than million more than in 1950, which was the previous record holder, and about 2,500,000 more than in 1954.

Mr. L. G. Colbert, a top authority on the motor car business, says that there are nearly six million pre-World War motor vehicles on the road, and that the industry will have to build four to five million cars a year just for replacement of those going to the scrap*pile.

E. V. Durling, in one of his interesting columns, tells about the Gideon Bible. He says that there are now about 25 million of these bibles in hotel rooms throughout the world, placed there by the Gideon Society. A traveling salesman named John Nicholson was the father of the thing. He read a chapter of the bible every night, and two friends, Sam Hill and William Knight, got him to read aloud to them. Knight asked to hea,r a chapter from Gideon, and this gave the society they helped organize its name. The society started in Janesville, 'Wisconsin, 57 years ago.

Which reminds ,rr" tt "tl **l*. in the marvelous moving picture, "Guys and Dolls," boasted that only one thing had been in more hotel rooms that he had, and that was the Gideon Bible. To show my gratitude for wonderful entertainment, I must say right here that Sam Goldwyn's "Guys and Dolls" is the best, most entertaining movie I ever saw in my life, and I have always been a movie fan. My vote for the best movie actors goes to Jean Simmons and Marlon Brando in this picture; and the cleverest dialogue I ever heard in a movie is here also. As a writer I particularly enjoyed this dialogue. As one who has been particularly critical of moving pictures for the last several years, "Guys and Dolls" came a,s an answer to all my prayers. I fail to understand how, in the midst of such general trash, anything so wonderful as "Guys and Dolls" ever wasmade'

This being a big political year, we will hear much about "campaign oratory." But we won't hear much oratory. We will hear speeches of all ordinary kinds, but we won't hear oratory because we have no orators in the political arena. Remember this: true oratory is effortless. There is no machinery, no engines, nothing that suggests artificial effort in real oratory, no suggestion of premeditation. It has.no printed rules. The true orator is as unconscious as nature; his words are felt, instead of heard. Oratory is like a mountain stream, natural, spontaneous, unrestrained. We will hear none of those. A well-timed speech will come along occasionally, but no orations.

Saw some figures the other day that made me sad. They showed that the Irish is a dying race. All other nations show a continuous increase in population. Ireland shows an annual decrease of.0.2o/o. The United States shows considerable increase every year. Canada shows an even greater one. But not lreland.

And, on a ,roa-ro-".ri1"" ".,., some philosopher is quoted as saying that the only reason many American families do not own a rhinoceros is because they haven't been offered them for a dollar down and a dollar a week.

A newspaper reporter ;; olt " ,i"r, old farmer, for an interview on how he got his money. "It's a long story," said the farmer, "so while I'm telling it, we might as well save the lamp." And he blew out the light. Said the wise reporter: "You needn't tell me. I understand."
