(A Wor th While Editorial Selected by the N ational Editorial Association ! Worr y is an unhealthy condition of normal mind and is a direct manifestation of fear. Probabl y one of the richest gifts with which we are endowed is the power of imagination. Yet ima gination is a most prolific sourc e of fear. 1 The chronic worrier usuwll y has an over- active ima gination—an imagination out of control. Our s pecific worries may be slig ht- l y different , but in the main the y have the same basic characteristics. I listen to the troubles of others and they seem to be lar gel y imaginary and trivial. Then I think of my own and I realize that m y troubles can be correctly classified about the same wa y. We do not rid ourselves of worr y by evad- in g our responsibilities- , nor b y crawling out from under our norma l load. The first step awa y from worry is to courageously and hon- estly face our problems and to segregate the real \ from the ima ginary. As the prospector must learn lo distin guish between gold and \fool' s gold\ so must we learn to distin guish between real problems and worries. Thus we take stock of our so-called \troubles \ and see how many we can discard . First in this list should come the worries in antici pation of events possible to happen and which usually do not. The remainder can be classified in the order of their importance a nd eliminated as fast as possible. There is a messa ge for us in the parting words of advice of the a ged father to his son , \I have had a great deal of trouble in my life —a great deal of trouble—but most of it never ha ppened. \ Irrespective of a ges most all of us are like that old man. In these times the successful man has no time to worry. He is too bus y thinking and working out constructive wa ys lo solve his problems. He has learned to control his thou ghts—which is the secret- of the elimina- tion of worrv. —John , J. Thomas , President , The Lloyd-Thomas Co! in An gles of Business. Crime and Criminals \1 became intimate)}- ac quainted with crime and criminals , \ the Brooklyn Times quotes Burton G. Howe as saying in declaring his qualifications for the office of sheriff. Jose ph P. Warta , Re publican organization candidate for the nomination , probably is not intimately ac quainted with one criminal. Nor has his public career been confined to police work. On the other hand he has serve d Bab ylon Town faithfully and well as super- visor ; before that as assessor. He served a term as p ort warden of New York , the a p- pointee of former Governor Miller , and years ago , as a very youn g man , he handled much of the work of the town cleric ' s office while his older brother , the late Charles Warta, was town clerk. Althou gh not a policeman , \Job\ Warta js president of the Policemen ' s Benevolent, As- sociation of this county and as such gladly gives of his time in the interest of policemen and their dependents. Shortly following the untimely death of Officer Eichele of Islip Town, Mr. Warta called upon the association to do everythin g possible for Mr. - .Eichele ' s family and has himself launched a campaign in their behalf, ZM r. Warta is and has been for a number of years* n viilu a lJie ' public Servant to tlnr people of his town and county. During those years not once ha* the iin e er of suspicion pointed hi« way. He has carried on without scandal , without playin g petty politics , with- out intimate ac quaintance with crime or criminals' . Mr. Warta is a firm believer in law and order. He believes that the racketeers and beer runners and hi jackers should be kept down and out in Suffolk County. He believes that policemen and constables and deputy sh eriffs and the sheriff himself should not piny politics , es pecially during time for which th e taxpayers tire paying them to serve as guardians of the; law. .M r. War ta sees no good reason why a she . 'ri ff should huconic \intirnatcly nc(|Uiiirit- L -r l\ with criminals. The idea is revoltin g t o him its it must be to v vmy law-abiding, honest-minded mnn and woman in Suffolk Coun ty. - By the Side of tlie Road .Sundays and holidays find thousi t iidH of people tr u v c Un i; over Long Island , seekin g the pleasure imrl health that are to be found here. ^ Many of these people brin g their lunches with them , with the intention of eatin g them by the nidi! of tho road.

' Temperature not very different from, that in Port Jefferson et that season. Part ot the sidewalk in Iront of the cafe is screened off by heavy glass partitions. Iron stoves glow a ch e ery re- . There are many tables—all • oc- c upied. A dapper Frenchman—must be forty- five—site talking to several American gi rls. He talks English, with an accent the gi rls like. They spoof him in the good old Yankee fashion. Mr. French- man knows hdw to play dumb , and wh en. He makes come \digs \ of his own, with his light tongue and waving arms. A cosmopolitan air. This cafe. La Co upole , La Select . La Routounde , and several others In the immediate local- ity, enjoy an International reputation.

The extra session, is necessary to give the committee authority to confer upon witnesses before it Im- munity from prosecution for any acts of their own of which they may tell In testifying before the Investigators The Court of Appeals ruled that In order to have such power the commit- tee must be authorized by a statute passed by the Leg islature and signed by the Governor. The present committee was not so constituted, but was created by legislative resolution, to which form of enactment the Governor ' s signature Is not required. There was a very good reason for creating the committee thus instead of Toy statute. In ttie Legislature of 1930 the Bepublican majority, wi th every Democrat opposed , passed an act providing for an Investigation of New York City along exactly the same lines as that now in progress and sent it to Gov. Boosevelt , even giving him power to name the committee. The Go vernor undoubtedly actuated by fear of Tam- ma ny, vetoed the bill. In view of his action on that measure, the Legislature this yea» felt It would be a waste of eff ort to send him another bill for the same purpose , hence it provided for the Investigation by a resolution which did no t require his signature. The stubborn j et u sal ol Tammany ipU o werri to testify , because- they would- thus incrirn l nate t hemselves raised the question whether a committee created lay a resolution has power to grant immunity from such Incrimination, and the highest court of the State rules that It has not. The sp ecial session , since tt will hav e a Republican majority, w ill ' of cour se pass an act giving the committee-power to confer Immuni ty snd will forward it to the Governor, Doubtless he would Utea -to j att a - a ur -h n Trtfnsnr p, ns hn did a similar one In 1930 , f or he still desires the support of Tammany in his am- bi tions for the Democratic presidential ji omin n tlon. But In view of tho reve- lations of graft and corruption in Now York so far made, he will not dare do so , and Is expected to sign such an act.

I bet yet we pay for this fine weather ylt!\ And EUcry Gregg was right about the weather on August 15 In the vil- lage of Stony Brook , when cne Three Village G arden Club opened their new tea house on that day. Tne clouds just fair determined to pour out all the rain they held and make a re- cord once and for all , and the Three Village Garden Club members gather- ed In the tea house at noon , looked about at all their festive preparations with a dejected eye , and wondered why this weather. Ice cream from Maresl for several hundred people. Sandwiches and cakes galore. Flowers everywhere , and rain , rain pouring and gurgling In a mournful manner , calculated to break the hearts of peo- ple with faces set for sunshine , gaiety and j oy. When , Presto Change—Polk began to arrive with a manner - of no- wcather-can-stop-anythlng connected with the Three Village Garden Club! By fou r o ' cl o ck , calls were going out- side for help. Sandwiches and cake were giving out. The rooms were so crowded there was no . place to work. Members were looking at their aching feet with accusing eyes , for everybody helped. And helped as only interested and earnest people can help. Miss Jane Thompson sat all day and eve- ning with supper brought to ' her and kept books for the food sale , and took orders ahead. The . tiny individual \Three Village \ orange marmalade Shop took on a disconsolate air early Just disappeared at once, one sample In the day, having nothing left but remaining for orders. The Thrift a c u tglass bowl and two old lanterns. The little Antique Shop sold curios, old rugs , maple rockers , and the big room was soon shorn of Its glories in the way everything for sale which had graced Its earlier hours! Under a big umbrella four valiant souls in charge of vegetables and fruit sat at their post, though no one could reach them dry ( shod thru the sheets 01 rain. However , not to Toe outdone , they -brought the vegcUUlcs,.4u<.aiia we nt about and * hunted.customers tiu their stock was disposed of. Postal p f ctures of the house were sold at 2 cents a piece. All articles thru rag dolls and embroidered towels , rugs , pillows and glass and fine anti que s were disposed of. A record breaking day as \* to _ sales on ono of the storm- ie st days of the year. What v j lll the Thr ee Village - Tea House do in the sunshine? The number of men present was about tho most encouraging sigh of the d ay, fo r if men will go to a Tea House, It is because It is very different to tho average and this tho —tree Village claim s to be. The last meeting of the club was a busin ess meeting held at the home of the President. A half hour was given over to a short talk by Mrs. Annie E. Gray, Executive Secretary of the Woman ' s Peace Society. The discus- sion which followed excited active In- terest. It is found very difficult this day for some of us to reverse nil of our 1917 opinions nnd accept the new Idea that Germany was not the only guilty party In the World Wnr.

Awl finally , mm E bmm Subscribers to most of the suburban and . rural weekl y newspapers have every right to feel proud of the effort the publishers of these papers make toward minting only truthful details of ha ppenings in their com- munities. The little wee kly is always more accurate in tletail tnan the metropolitan dail y, and it is seldom that the suburban pub- lication attempts to color its news items b y lurid , ridiculous untruths that hel p little to- ward boostin g the circulation in the critical rural communities. Durin g the past two week.s the Lon g Island readers ol metropolitan dailies have been amused , and somewhat an gered , for the a p- parent disre gard for truthfulness of detail that has been dis played in news of his vicinity that has a ppeared in the columns of these dailies. The Jocai weeklies , on the contrary, took infinite pains to print only the truth about these ha ppenings , and the result has been a series of contradictory and confusin g news items that leaves the reader somewhat dazed. A short time ago a crazed Islip Manor resident ran amuck with a pistol and killed two neighbors , afterwards settin g his own homo on fire and committin g suicide. It was news of a sensational character , and man y of .„, - 5 the metropolitan dailies made the most oi it. g & Beveral even w ent to the extent of printing \ U ntruth s about the affair and crediting them . to . the polite. Others , permitting their re- : ' \ ' \ • write men to draw at will on their ima gina- tion, printed such wildly fantastic yarns that Lon g Island readers had difficulty in recog- ' nizing the fact that the item concerned a . local ha ppening. The local weeklies , for the most part , carried accurate stories of the event , makin g no effort to create a dried rcad- t>r inter est bv coloring the details with the red paint of imagination and untruth. A • simple recitation of the facts and the circum- stances leadin g up to the event was enough. Still more recently the body of a met- ropolitan gang victim was found alongside the road in a lonely section of Bri ghtwliters . Several New Vork dailies printed grotesque yarns about the affair , addin g a wealth of ima ginary detail that t t iuiuestionably gave an added vender interest and dressed u p the story considerably. Weekly papers , with one glaring exception , omitted these beautiful (li ghts of imagination and printed only the accurate details. As a result the reader of both was confused. He wondered whi ch paper carried (he acriu- i ilif .story \f Die event. lie did not. s lop lo figure out that the daily relies on its local corr espondents to supply su ch items of news , anil that bored re- write men 011 th e stall' of tin: dailies are usually proms to add the. lurid detail*. He probably figured the daily must: he right , because it. is u nationally known news paper. Such a line of reasonin g is an injiiKliee to tho weekly, Take the g i n i g ride slaying as nn example. The dailies told of the .slayin g bein g wltnt'Sfiod by a ymmtr pair of pollers parked without li ghts in the vicinity. They went on le recite how tlie actual shootin g took place in tho glare of the headlights of the murder car , and lioir Iho eyewit n os s e s lo the crime s crontned , and failed to i't!|iort lo the police until the followin g day, All pure 101.

King Solomon said , \To everything there is a season , and a time to . every purpos e under the heaven. \ Among the many contrasting experiences re- c orded i u Eccleslastes 3 , h e speaks of a \Time to weep au t i u time to laugh. \ Tlus observation on the part of this ul tta- -wlse man seems to be the gen- eral experience of mankind , but there Is a state of soul which Is Independent of these alternations of life , which is the privilege of . the Christian , for the re is a spring of everlasting Joy, w elling up within him. Thi s experience of continuous re- J o l clni t Is tho gospel' s best recommen- dati o n , for It offsets the false notion OlAt w i iu i linve. that to become a Oli rlstliui is to begin a glum exist- ence. Competition Is keen these days as to whether tho church or the world has tho greater Inducement to offer. The church seems to concede that tne woi l c i Is the winner , and to hold the you ng people , feels that It must adopt some worldly expedients. Moreover it . \vc were to judge by numbers doubt- less the world would win out , bu t if we -were to judge by the appearance of tilings at the end of life ' s Journey, i ve would be forced to conclude that the Christian had the better of the bar g r - in. as with radiant face he re- views a life well spent and contem- plutts a future that far exceeds the splendor of a new morning. Ira Proverbs 10:22 are these words: \The blessing ol the Lord, it m ak et a . rich and he addeth 110 sorrow with It\ Hits cannot be said about sinfu l pleasures , for there is \Death In the c up. \ The Lord God hath said \ ii t e soul that sinneth it shall die. \ In contrast with this , tne serpent said to Ive. \Ye shall not surely die. \ Lov«rs of sin would rather believe the serpent. Men love their sins but dread Ihe results. Therefore traffickers in ini qui ty. are putting forth every eHort to extract from sin the sting of death. Large premiums are offered for a panacea that as far as possible will mate good the words ol we serpent. There is a great demand for personal liberty and strong arguments in behalf of freedom between the sexes. The law of sex-relations is , as the late Pran- ces E. Willard expressed it , \A wni te life for two \ . Frightful results follow a transgression of this law. No , . hot- ter hell ever scorched the souis t i r , men , than is kindled ' by lu st. \What -j , 1 soe-ver a man soweth that shall h.e j* t- fhT i V ftp, \ - Ki > ff' i - -\lmfl-ttr rt i i,pn(lcs ll l) ' ^ f tfW 1 . For a man to \Rejoice evermore , \ I he must have a joy planted within Win. joy docs not always come through outside influences. It is not made up of circumstances , no r is It affected by them. To the Christian , If the clouds overhang, there is the \Sun of ri ghteousness with Sealing in hi s wings , \ back of those clouds ready to break through and shine with new glory and new understand- ing. If the future is precarious, there ' are tne precious promises ol uod , as the foundation of his soul , and he shall never bo moved. If all things nro swept nwny from him , there re- mains that blessed Inheritance he has In Ch rist , f or ho is co-heir with his L ord in the possessions of nil things. The Scriptures give many reasons f ox this continuous rejoicing. In Ro- mans 12:12 , w e have \ r ejoicing in hope. \ A man is poor indeed who has no anticipations. I have heard people sa.y, \I n ever expect anything, there- fore i nm never disappointed. \ This may be n good rule for folks whoso Interest Is in the transient things of earth , but it need not he adopted by those whose liopn In built upon the sure and eternal word of tne Living G od, whose promises are \Yen and nmen , \ In Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 1-20. Iii Psiil m 33:1 , wo nre told to re- joice in the .Lord. People rejoice In their possessions; they are happy in their friendships and enriched by their attainments; but it would' cxhmwt the vocabulary to express the exquisite , J oy there in In the possession of tho Lord Jesus Christ. Finally we Imve a typo of rejoicing, tlint would not appeal to the general run of fol ks; for it Involves suffering. On fir st tliou g ht , it woul d seem strange tlint there could bo rejoicing In uurc erir i B, but this prirUc m n r 'typo ol r ejoicing Is found in this high priv- ilege. It Is to share In Christ' s s u l« f e rlnns. If you have hot shared with C hrist Ills Q ethiomnnB and.
