Want More Recreation ORE emphasis must be placed on the Lovewell Lake as a recreational facility and the g-overnmental agencies that control the reservoir must be urged to do more to equip this important facility that all of North Central Kansas and Southern Central Nebraska. No provision has yet been made for the establishment and operation of a marina or concession for boat rides, to sell lunches, drinks, gasoline and spme of the many items needed by the thousands that visit the lake each week. The Kansas Fish Game commission that i.s handling: the recreational facilities at the lake was to establish this concession, yet to date the commission has done nothing about it. The state commission has done a good job, with the help of the public, of keeping the area surrounding the lake clean of trash. The rest rooms are serviced daily.

More trash barrels around the lake would be in order, but apparently rnost visitors are doiVig their share in hauling the left-overs back home. Recreation is becoming more and more important to all areas of thie nation. To 'keep 'em down on the farm' every effort must be made to make better recreational facilities in this area where we're glad to say they're already above par. Thank Businessmen NE of the nicest gestures made by any group is made each year at the annual 4-H Businessman's picnic. This event was held last week at Belleville park.

NIXON-KHRUSHCHEV The dramatic meeting of Vice President Richard Nixon and Russian Premier Krushchev at the U. S. World Exposition in Moscow developed into a world-shaking bluff and bluster in which the Russian Premier came out second best. Nixon stood up to the Russian Dictator and told him: "If there is another war there will be no losers; for the first time since dawn of civilization we have reached the point where we must either learn to live together or we will die together." The Moscow opportunity is letting the world know that the Kremlin's objective is for World conquest and Communism. WEST United Nations is making its position abundantly clear to Russia and the rest of the world that they will stand firm against a "DIVIDED GERMANY." Russia on the record has no more reason than any other nation to hold and commit the German people to the domination of Communism and Russian dicatorship.

The German people in East Germany who have not acquiesed to Russian dicator.ship have made it clear to the world at large that they want independence and freedom from Russian dicatorship. VALUE OF A Matthew Adams, columnist and son of a Belleville Baptist preacher, says in his column: "I like to meet a smiling person on the street, or in any gathering. There is a club in my town that attend each Tuesday. It is one of the most inspiring places at any one of its events. Because I meet there so many smiling men.

Their names often evade me, l)ut not the owner of a single smile! The Smile is a sign of good will, of genuineness of heart, and sterling Faith. I like to refer to it as something of great spirtual tossed even in passing a stranger. I meet dozens of such habitual smiles at every session of this club. That smile, from anyone, lights up niy entire week. I carry these smiles all with me as I go back to work." THE SPYGLASS M.

An English haberdasher says a man's character can ))e read by the neckties he selects, which makes us deduct that most men don't have much character in the summer time. Aunt Belle admits that Lovewell Lake is iwfully low, and observes "that a lot of people seem to be sopping up what is left of it 2very week end." Back yard barbecues have become so popular it's hard to believe so many people could be sold on cremation.

And our advice to Vice-President Nixon and Premier Khrushchev following their reported tiff is, "Keep out of the kitchen." Either our friends aren't traveling as much this summer or that increase in the postal rate is causing them to cut down on the number of post cards they send. From the looks of the fair publicity that is going out this week it appears that if the North Central Kansas Free Fair program isn't a good one this season there isn't likely to be any good fairs in any of the surrounding states this season. The Swenson Thrill- cade is the same one that will appear at the Kansas State Fair at The Betty Johnson grandstand show will appear at the Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln the week following our fair, the Harness Racers will appear at the State Fair at Topeka.

But many a person returns from his vacation without having experienced the relaxation and freedom he sought. The truth is that one can have a vacation right where one is.

We can ascend to the un-kLssed Mountain heights right where wo we can find quiet, peace, sunshine, where we can be kissed by the cooling breezes of heaven. If you are depressed by worry and care, leave the shadows of the valley. Take a mental excursion to the heights.

Viewing the affairs of your life from a IHIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli distance, from the heights of pray er, you will see all things in a new light. You will feel superior to the events ot your world perior to the events of your world, ter of them. And when you return from this "vacation of faithful prayer, you will be refreshed and strengthened. When one returns from such a vacation to the mountain heights of prayer with God, friends and relatives are viewed in a new light. The little break seems to free us from the memory of personal shortcomings.

So, when we practice journeying to our sun-kissed heights, we rise above the usual petty worries and fretfulness. We gain a new knowledge of the love and power of our Father, a new confidence in our ability to cope with any situation or problem that may arise, a new poise and tranquillity of of which makes for a fuller and happier life.
