nd what is so rare
as a day in June f
Then, if ever;
come perfect days
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL 1819-1891
Not too hot. Not too cold. That’s the June-
day perfection you enjoy every day with a
flameless electric heat pump.
This comfort conditioner replaces sticky
summer heat with a frosty-morning tingle.
Pampers you with sunshine warmth on raw
winter days. Eliminates those bothersome
between-season seasons.
You set the thermostat once. Then forget
it. Automatically, the heat pump reverses
its cycle from cooling to heating, as needed.
There’s no dame. No soot. No grime.
Operates economically. There’s even a
special rate for total-electric customers. And
budget billing means your electric bill is the
same amount every month.
Want June-perfect days? A flameless elec
tric heat pump gives you 365 of them every
year. Except leap year. Then you get 366.

POETRY CORNER
When I was a boy down on
the farm I had a pet calf. His
name was Jeff. That calf would
do almost anything I asked him
to do ... if he wanted to.
Often 1 hitched him up to a
little wagon and drove him
around like nobody’s business.
One day my older brother got
the bright idea that we would
hitch Jeff to our old buggy.
But the old buggy had a tongue
which required a team of two.
So I volunteered to be hitched
up with Jeff, the pet calf. Broth
er Wayne carefully harnessed
us together. When all was ready
he yelled, "Giddapl”
Out Into the pasture we went
as nice as could be. I thought
it was lots of fun but Jeff had
a different idea. He say the
gate leading into the meadow
standing open. That silly calf
took off on a non -stop flight to
the far corner of the meadow's
forty acres. And did he go|
Don’t think I wasn’t afraid.
I didn’t know a calf could run
so fast. I struggled with all
my might to untangle myself,
but Jeff and I were hitched up
too well.
In his frantic effort to save
me, my older brother ran like
a deer and somehow managed
to get hold of the calf’s head.
Down went the calf, down went
my brother and down I went, too.
That calf and I were never
friends after that.
Now listen, boys and girls,
for years I was harnessed up
to something far more danger
ous than any animal. It was
Satan, who was taking me for
a merry chase across life head
ed for Hell, " a lake of fire
burning with brimstone" (Reva-
lation 19;20). I finally came to
see the danger of being teamed
up with the Devil. Some people
said I wasn’t such a bad boy,
but I knew my own heart and I
knew that the Bible said “there
is none righteous, no not one”
(Romans 3;10).
But God loved me and wanted
to save me. I couldn’t handle
the Devil, he was like that calf,
handling me. God sent His Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ, to res
cue me. My brother endanger
ed his life to rescue me from
the calf, but the Lord Jesus
gave His life to save me, for
the Bible says, “For Christ
also hath once suffered for
sins, the just for the unjust
(and that means all boys and
girls and men and women), that
He might bring us to God” (I
Peter 3:18).
Not anything you have done
or could ever do would save
you (Ephesians 2:8,9). Only
the Lord Jesus Christ can save
you . . . and He can save you
to the uttermost if you will
come unto God by Him.

ley.

MY LIFETIME
In my life 1 want what’s

I want everything that’s good

Every bit of money that I

All of the good grades I

I want a good life for my
self and there is something
else.
While I am young 1 want to
stay young,
While I am young I want to
work,
While I am young I want to
stay in school,
While I am young I want to

tbo 00 * 0y LAVA
With the closing of school for this year and the young man
looking forward to his first year in college, we tend to think
about the many people of different faiths and nationalities that
he will come in contact with, in the years to come. What they
are and where they come from should not matter, where they
are going, and what is their goal in life, should matter. All will
be in college to acquire the ingredients for a successful future.
The qualities of the educated man that are here written is the
opinion of Lava and not necessarily the Taylor County News
views. The mark of an educated inan is many different qualities
acquired over years of training, study and experience, the
most important of which is knowledge of a subject and the ability
to convey this knowledge to other individuals by writing or speak
ing to them. Of the many qualities that make up the educated
man, the following is second only to the all important element,
and is desirable, i.e., how a person conducts himSelf in the
presence of others -- polite, well mannered, friendly, and
courteous. He is well rounded enough not to be easily pre
judiced, able to accept ignorance, and recognize potential in
sincerity and a willingness to learn. He is ready to give assis
tance when he is acutely aware of the short comings in others.
He is usually articulate in his speech, having a command of
the English language and a habit of usage. In some instances
the educated man is sensitive and quietly self assured of himself
when he speaks. Perserverance is also a quality of the educated
man. He is discriminating in his tastes, clothes, surroundings
and relaxation. Dignity is characteristic of the educated man.
He is usually a Christian, faithful to his family and obligations.
Another most important quality is humility. In the educated man
that this quality can be found, can also be found a great man.
There is no greater quality that can further the brotherhood
of man than the educated man who is a Christian and has this
quality, humility, and is willing to share with ''those that don’t
know’’ the gift of knowledge, God saw fit to bestow upon him.
