THOUGHTS TO PONDER ON


        By EVE SEITER
 Thomas Jefferson once sug-
 gested that newspaper Editors
 might do their readers a great
 service by dividing their papers
 into chapters, titling the chap-
 ters.'Truths". "Probabilities",
 "Possibilities" and "Lies"-
 Countless truths and some lies
 have been spoken, written and
 published through the years on
 the subjects of war and peace.
 In commemoration of Veterans',
 Day, 1964, your writer dedicates
 this front page Feature to a few
 of the truths as expressed by
 men and women who have lived
 close to war and peace. You
 may discover fresh thoughts to
 ponder as you peruse their ex-
 pressions of love of country,
 the pursuit of peace and the
 endless tragedy of war!
 In his Centennial Ode of 1876,
 Georgia's famed poet and Civil
 War veteran, Sidney Lanier, of-
 fered the tenets of his private
 belief in eight brief lines of
 poetry:
 "Long as thine art shall love
 true love,
Long as thy science truth shall
know,
Long as thine eagle harms no
dove,
Long as thy God is God above,
Thy brother every man below,
So long, dear land of all my love,
Thy name shall shine, thy fame
shall glow."
  Ida Tarbell, our American au-
thor, who died in 1944, was wont
to say, "I'm for anything in this
world that keeps the problem
of finding a substitute for war
in people's minds."
  Upon one occasion, Abraham
Lincoln, Civil War President,
reminded his listeners, "When-
ever I .hear anyone arguing for
slavery, I feel a strong impulse
to see it tried on him personally."
George Washington reflected the
experience of America's first
participation in war when he
wrote: "To be prepared for war
is one of the most effectual
ways of preserving peace."
  There's an old German Proverb
which states that a great war
leaves the country with three
armies--an army of cripples,
an army of mourners and an
army of thieves!
Dwight D. Eisenhower, knowing
firsthand the truth of war, writes
accordingly: "War settles no-
thing. As never before, the es-
sence of war is fire, famine and
pestilence. They contribute to its
outbreak; they are among its
weapons; they become its conse-
quences." We might profit from
Dwight Eisenhower's straight-


forward advice, "From my ex-
perience I have come to hate
war. When people speak to you
about a preventive war; you tell
them to go and fight it."
The first draft of our American
Declaration of Independence read
like this: "we hold these truths
to be self evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with
certain unalien Rights, that a-
mong these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted a-
mong Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed. -That whenever any
Form   of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter
or to abolish it, and to institute
new Government, laying its foun-
dation upon such principles and
organizing its powers in such
form, as to them   shall seem

most likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness....We, therefore,
....do....solemnly publish and de-
clare, That these United Colonies
are, and of a Right ought to be
free and independent States...And
for the support of this Declar-
ation, with a firm reliance on
the protection of Divine Provi-
dence, We mutually pledge to each
other our Lives, our Fortunes,
and our sacred Honor."
As a nation we annually honor
the Veterans of all wars, living
or dead. We show our love and
our remembrance of their sacri-
fices specifically in November
and in May. If this annual re-
membrance becomes mere par-
ade without thought it is indeed
a hollow ceremony. But if, per-
chance, our remembrance is
fraught with thought leading to
conviction, then we will have
kept faith with these honored
Veterans. Ecclesiastes, "The
Preacher", has written in the
Holy Bible that there is a time
for everything.... "a time to be
born, a time to die...a time to
plant, a time to pluck up that
which is planted; a time to kill,
a time to heal, a time to love
and a time to hate; a time of
war and a time of peace." These
are thoughts to ponder on Veter-
ans' Day.
