It has been a lot of fun. As I sit here I recall another moving day, the difference was that i'nstead of moving furniture that day, the house was being moved. How I wish I could move that wa^-again but this time it just won't work. I recall how the joints in the old building creaked and groaned; today It is mine. In the excitement of getting ready for Conference and all, we forgot to report- on the installation of officers for the W.S.C.S., which took place June 15. Mrs. Ruth Barker was installed president, Mrs. Olive Hoyte as vice-president and program chairman, Mrs. Ethel diMMM Ifc mtir»da j, Jnne *9,1960 Baflejr u i nimpMrttii. secretary, Mrs. Susaa OtM as recording steward. Mrs. Cora Duker as treasurer, Mrs. Lois Bggert chairman of Qircle One, Mrs. Wflma Dickow of Circle Two, Mrs. Ray Horenberger of Circle Three, and Mrs. Avis Gaas chairman of the nominating committee. The next meeting of the W.S.C.S. will be held on the third Thursday of September, when enrollment of members will be held. This year we had thirtyfive enrolled and next year it Is hoped that this number will be greatly increased. Our Conference challenges us to have every M'ethodist woman a member of the W.S.C.S. This is a grand goal to shoot at and with the help of each person It can be made. Conference is over and it has been another wonderful experience. Several challenging messages were given and we all felt within our hearts and lives a new warmth, a new desire to serve the Lord and Christ. On Thursday and Friday our lay delegate, Lon H. J. Smith, attended the sessions. Mrs. Smith accompanied him on Thursday. At the afternogp session Sunday the appointments were read and the Rev. Mr. Jack Cormkm m A veteran air line pilot who had broken all records, for safe flying was asked how he did it. He replied that he had never taken oft without a little feaV in his heart. Fear Is a distasteful word to most Americans. It connotes cowardice. Our forefathers did not "win the wilderness by being afraid. Our fighting men have not preserved our freedom by a craven reluctance to take chances. * Yet the early settlers took no foolish chances. They built stock- *ades for protection, and they kept their powder dry. Military men jspeak of the calculated risk, which means that the chance of success has been weighed carefully against the danger of failure. • That is what the air line pilot 'meant when he confessed fear. Not timidity. His intelligent fear-- the knowledge that there are forces continuously at work to trap the unwary, that his experience and skill might be tested and found wanting. Such intelligent fear was the pilot's secret of safety. It made him foresighted, alert, prudent. As a result he never had an acci- K. C. NOTES »v This weekend millions of Americans will set out to commemorate I the birth of this nation's indepeni dence. It would be well to approach the occasion with intelligent fear--recognition of the extra hasards, determination to meet ttem with extra care^ The National Safety Council tells as that the fourth oC July ^celebration & one the f s *erous single periods of * • • iThe council's exhortation 1 ; Alive on the Fifth" is not just a '•*. t jslogaa, because, it is statistically possible--even probable--that hun- *>reda of persons who begin this ^ : Iholiday will not be alive on the <*s,5 Ittth. They will be an anonymous »'r ]>art of a short word--toll--which ,. . flti neatly into newspaper headilines suclr as "Holiday Accident / ""3T0II Mounts". a So if you are drivfclg this weekly end and your patience is strained ,*>££ by a slow moving jam of cars ahead, be a little afraid to pull out of line and race into the unknown. Take counsel with fear if you consume a hearty picnic lunch and then are tempted to swim alone, Or to demonstrate your prowess as a distance swimmer in college days long gone. The "dud" firecracker or skyrocket will not suddenly blind or burn if a touch of fear keeps you from rushing forward with match In hand to relight a faulty fuse. Or better yet, listen to- fear which ell® you to forego personal fireworks altogether, and to give your kids a bigger thrill at a public display. These are the things Fourth of July accidents are made of--the recklessness, the thoughtless chance-taking, the show-off attitude, the impatience and discourtesy. / Fear--intelligent fear--of the consequences may give you pause --and save your liftjj Courage is not foolhardiness, and a chance in a million is not the wiso, man's odds. Get a little scared on the Fourth --and be alive on the fifth! Talking It Over In another day or two we start the month .of July. Along with it, the great American holiday celebrating the Declaration of Independence, which stated among other truths that mankipd wfcs entitled to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Also privileges with the strong Yankee idea of not being "beholden to anybody" for favors. Every day, plans for giving us "something for nothing" are being offered like a mess of pottage. Listen to the radio, look at television, read the ads, they're all the same. It's an idea that no doubt appeals to a great many. However, a little thought should convince us that if yre do get something for nothing, SOMEBODY has paid for it, and it might be ourselves, although we may uot realize It. Even our Lord did "not promise us something for nothing. He promised us Eternal Salvation, only if we gave ourselves first to Him in service of devoted love, sacrifice and adoration. We might keep these thoughts in mind. Installation of Officers Thursday evening, July 13, will be the last time the Grand Knight, Ed Frett, and his staff of officers will be in command of the Council. Ed will start the meeting and then hand tim gavel to Anton P. 1 lound, the newly elected Grand Knight, upon whose shoulders will fall the responsibilities of the assemdle. Therefore, we ask that you be kind enough to be in attendance at the meeting when Grand K^night Elect, Anton P. Freund, and his staff of officers are installed by] er of the Northwestern university pistrict Deputy Peter J. Thai man.

Difficult Assignment One of the most unusual and difficult assignments ever given U.S. marines was to transport several lions from Addis Ababa, Ethopia, to the sea coast. The lions were to be presented to President Theodore Roosevelt as a gift from Em* peror Menelik.
