Trumpet Replaces Bugle
.. .'A.*’.
I ’ \
TRUMPETING BUGLER—The sound of a bugle still stirs a sol
diet’s heart, but in today's Army it is usually the trumpet which
is used to perpetuate the bugle's ancient tradition. Here Sp 4
Eaton Rockwell of Gillette, N.J., displays the bugling, that is—
trumpeting, technique he has used to sound taps at more than
(.000 military funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. A
member of the 75th Army Band from Fort Belvoir, Va., Sp 4
Rockwell also sounded the calls at the recent 46th Annual Na
tional Rifle and Pistol Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.

NO MAGIC SECRET IN
MAKING DREAMS
come: TRUE
Did you ever stop to think
that the things we enjoy today
were mere dreams in the minds
|of those who lived a few gen
erations ago? We owe a debt
। of gratitude to those who were
not afraid to dream and then
i worked toward fulfilling those
dreams.
The progress of tomorrow
j will be determined by the
I dreams of today. The writer of
I Proverbs proclaimed, “Where
■ there is no vision, the people
perish ...” (Proverbs 29:18)
The automobiles, airplanes,
electric lights, televisions and
telephones were once no more
than mere dreams.
All your dreams may not
con.e true, but I believe it is
important to dream. I used to
dream about going to college
and having a church of my
own. I have realized many of
my dreams; not by sitting
still, but by hard work and
determination. There is no
magic secret that I know for
making your dreams come
[true except a little ability and
1 long hours of hard work.
I know a young boy who
dreamed about teaching school.
| His parents were poor and
। could not send him to college.

work but never gave up his
dream. He saved his money un
til he had enough to go to col
lege for a year. He enrolled
in a small college and worked
hard for three quarters. Then,
he had to return to his job
because his money w'as all
| gone. He worked for several
months and saved enough to go
back to school. It took him al
most ten years of working,
saving and going to school be
fore he received his degree.

It was a glad day when the I
president gave him his degree
along with a teacher’s certifi
cate. Most people might have
given up the dream and ad

Today he is doing what he al
ways wanted to do, all because
of this dream, a resolute heart,
and determined effort.
When I was the pastor of the
University Church in Havana,
Cuba, many college students
came to the service. A young
pre-medical student was pres
ent almost every Sunday. I
left Cuba, and one day while
walking down the corridor of
a hospital in this country, a
young man grabbed me around
the shoulders. I soon discover
ed it was this young medical
student who was serving as an
intern.
After we visited a while, I
asked him about his plans for
the future. “I hope to go back
to Cuba,” he said, “and serve
in the Methodist Hospital.”
“But we have no hospital in
Cuba,” I replied. “I know that.”
he said, “but I have one in my
mind.” He was dreaming about
a Methodist Hospital in that
country of strife. Who knows
—this young doctor’s dream
may become a reality in our
generation.
David once said to the lead
ers of Israel: “Now set your
heart and your soul to seek
! the Lord your God: . . .” (I
I Chronicles 22:19) This is a
| great dream toward which we
all should strive. David want
'cd to build a sanctuary in
which the people could worship
! God. This was one of his great
est ambitions. He did not get
■ to bu’ld this house of worshin.
j but God knew what was in
his heart. God said unto David.
' "Whereas it was in your heart,
vou did well that it was in
vour heart . . .” (II Chronicles
6:8).
It is a good thing for us to
dream noble dreams even if
♦hev do not come true in our
i lifetime.

Promise in Cushions for
Shipments of Watermelons
The use of expanded polystyrene foam for cushioning
watermelons in railroad refrigerator cars may give better
protection to the melons during shipment to market, reports
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The possibilities of using
heavier loads to reduce trans
portation costs and the use of
new cushioning materials
to provide better and more
economical protection for
the melons were studied by
USDA's Agricultural Market
ing Service. This marketing re
search is part of an overall
program to increase efficiency
and lower the cost of moving
the output of American farms
to its millions of consumers,
and to bring them better qual
ity food in better condition.
The Agricultural Marketing
S e r v i c e's transportation re
searchers issued a preliminary
report of their watermelon
shipment findings to advise
melon shippers as quickly as
possible of advantages found
in the tests.

much damage as those cush
ioned with hay or straw, says
the Agiicultural Marketing
Service. Large loads cushioned
with the plastic foam had few
er damaged melons than loads
of the same size in which hay
or straw was used.
Several other advantages of
: using the polystyreme foam
; were found during the study.
Cooperating with the Agricul

research were the Armstrong

the Seaboard Airline Railroad,
