Barbara plans to enter WELL-ROUNDED PERSONALITIES Physical, mental and Spiritual de velopment proportionaately com pleted makes a Well-Rounded Per sonality. Of course, social develop ment (which includes the physical, mental and spiritual) is the labor atory work, the developing process. A person that places all the em phasis on the physical development is just about one-third of a man. A person that has a desire for knowledge—desires a good thing But a person that desires know ledge just for the sake of gaining power and prestige, to be used for his selfish advantage can be a selfish and dangerous thing and the person desiring such, will or may be a dangerous in our society. A person who has a strong faith in God and is right in his attitude toward God and man makes a complete and noticeable change in all of his life. Have you ever heard anyone say, of another, “He has such a fine Christ-like spirit”, When a person like that comes into the presence of a group whose conservation is on a low level, im mediately the atmosphere is puri fied and the conversation takes a higher level. Only the Spirit of God, in the life, can make a per son like that. It is utter fally for the creatures of earth to ignore the Creator. One can not ha\/e a well-rounded development and usefyl life ife he leaves God out of consideration. W. R.

Its’ purpose was to counter act the propaganda being spread by the Communists of New York andn their fellow travelers. Each year the VFW members of the New York City area organize a huge parade that marches down Broadway. Prior to the first Loy alty Day parade, held by the VFW there, the Communists held their May Day parade to celebrate the Communists inspiring that over threw the Government in Moscow. They now have to hold their par ade elsewhere. Loyalty Day has now spread to every state in the Union. It is a day set aside for every good citizen to reaffirm their loyalty to the Democratic way of life. It is very fitting that this day was started by an organization such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Our Post Is requesting that every one consult the Radio and Televi sion pages to find the times devot ed by every major net work to these programs and to listen to all these programs.
