SORROW ENLARGES
THE HEART
We all run after pleasure and away from sorrow, and yet It Is pleasure that cor¬ rodes us and sorrow that strengthens us.
No worse fate could befall a human being than to have his lot so cast that every de¬ sire would be gratmed. Olve him abundant wealth, the satisfaction of every physical Instinct and every day full ot happy surprises, and It would not be long before he turned upon himself like a mad tiger in its cage and began eating his own heart. Tannhauser at last could not endure the lap of Venus, and out of his sensual heaven cried 6ut for a taste of some of the agonies of his fellow-men, as Dives In hell pled for a drop of water.
It Is sorrow, in truth, that U the basis of Joy. Without Bonow a palate is duUed, and we become unable to taste Joy, as a man who dines luxur- loualjr every day becomes In¬ different to food, and as after a period of starvation he realizes the exquUlte flavor of dry bread.
Only by going down Into the pit where there is no pleasure at all do we come up with a sharpened sense that ts capable of detecting the myriad shades of satis¬ faction which they who have never suflered cannot appre¬ ciate.
The Midlers who are now fighting In France are under¬ going privations and are ex¬ posed to dangers they would never have met had they stayed at home. Yet there U no doubt that they are having a richer and fuller life. They If are finding Joys they would ivever have suspected had they stayed at home on the farm or In the grocery-store. Hard- ship Is unveiling tor them an¬ other world, of high aiul peri¬ lous beauty, a world Into which few adventure of their own accord, but in which, when once Destiny has ushered us there, an unfolded the diviner and more heroic sensatloiu of the soul.
AU human experiences have two sides.   There is a black and bloody side of war, and there is a shining side.   This terrible time in which we live Is like the sad and often dis¬ cordant music of "Tristan and Isolde," from which the naive ear shrinks, but which, when once we have come to under¬ stand and appreciate It, shows ua the exquisite   reaches   of sensation In sorrow which Joy can never rival.   Even of the terror of these times we may say, with Edmimd Gross: "But when that true, fierce music—full of pain. And wounded memory, and the tone austere. Of antique passion,—fills
our hearts again. We marvel at our light and frivolous ear."
80 a great poet said: "The pleasure tbat la In sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure Itaelf, and hence the saying, 'It Is better to go to the bourse of mourning than the house of mourning than —DR. CRANE.

C. OF C. ACCEPTS RECOMMENDATION FUR¬ NISHED BY COMMITTEE
Will Present To Council Reolution For Consid¬ eration; Public Sentiment Strong In Favor of Project Sonsored By Chamber of Commerce
At a special meeting of the Cham¬ ber of Commerce held Monday even¬ ing the Special Committee on "A Municipal Power Plant" presented to the Board of Directors their re¬ commendation concerning this pro¬ ject. The Board lost no time In ac¬ cepting the committee's report and thereupon drew up a resolution which wUl be presented to town council at their next regular session, scheduled for July Srd.
Public sentiment seems strongly in favor of this movement sponsor¬ ed by the local Chamber of Com- merce and the matter wlU rest en-
take such financing and In any event the Borough's borrowing capacity Is such as to allow the floataUon of an Issue of bonds in an amount suffici¬ ent to cover any poaalble need In this direction. The Committee is of the opinion that this U the least of the problems confronting the project.
"The Committee therefore recom¬ mends to the Board of Directors of the Nazareth Chamber of Com¬ merce that the Chamber of Com¬ merce give its whole-hearted spon¬ sorship to the project, namely, the acquisition of a municipally owned and operated electric light, heat and

Power plant by the Borough of Naz- Cltlzens as to whether or not this'areth, and that as the first step movement will gain enough momen- In that direction a special committee tum to materialize. Mr. Citizen you of members of the Chamber of Corn- are the one affected, you are the one mwce be appointed by the president who should be Interested and it is, thereof to wait upon the  Borough
up to YOU to help put It over. Don't let "George do it," for if you do "George" will derive aU the bene¬ fit and you wlll be left In the cold.
As this is a community movement and sponsored for the welfare of the citizens, no citizen should be foiled through propaganda that has al¬ ready started to make an appearance opposing this project; nor should the oonunimity delve Into such an important project or development without the proper investigation. However, every possible effort should be made by you Mr. Citizen to obtain the facts. It is then and then only that candid opinions can be expressed.
According to public sentiment, now is the time and Nazareth is the place. It seems the spirit Is, what Landsdale, Hatfield. Quakertown, Ford City, Sayre, Perkasie and Dun- cannon can do Nazareth can do also. All of these Pennsylvania towns own and operate their own power and light plant. A few more could be mentioned and also a few more are now cont | .iplatlng the same move¬ ment.
Council at their next meeting and lay the matter before that body, with the authority to pledge to It the full support and co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce In further¬ ance of the project, and with the further authority to continue to press the matter before that body and before the inhabitants of the Borough at large, to the end that the project may be brought to a suc¬ cessful conclusion.
Respectfully submitted, J. H. FULMER,
Chairman, FREDERICK B. HUNT, A. O. SCHMIDT, CHARLES L. SHIMER. June 12, 1»33."
The ReaolntioB: "WHEREAS,   the   Special   Com¬ mittee on   Public UUUtiea   has re¬ ported favorably   to the   Board of i Directors of the Nazareth Chamber, of Commerce the project of the ac-, quisltlon of a municipally owned and operated electric   light, heat   and power plant by the Borough of Naz¬ areth, and I "WHEREAS, the   ssid   Board of
der date of April 4th, 1933, In The Philadelphia Inquirer shows what another Pennsylvania town has ac¬ complished: " Smethport. Pa., April 4—This town Is considering declar¬ ing a tax morltorlum thU year as far as a levy for borough purposes Is concerned.
Smethport, with about 2000 in¬ habitants, controls Its own electric service and the sale of current to local consumers, at a lower price than ia charged In surrounding towns, and produces enough rev¬ enue to pay for the average civic ex¬ penses of the town.
This borough has paved nearly all its streets with funds secured from the electric service fund, which en¬ abled the town to match dollar for dollar with State and County road funds which were available for use under this 50-90 arrangement.
The Smethport Borough Council declares if a tax levy is made the funds can be used almost exclusively for local unemploy-ment relief."
It is with all fairness and all due consideration to all concerned that the Special Committee of the local Chamber of Commerce has present¬ ed to the chamber the following re¬ commendation and the resolution ,, which the Chamber will present to On Sundaymoming The Festival The Nazareth Borough Council wlll of the Holy 'Trinity ^»^^^^^,^,be presented to that body with all -_...... -....   . -.. ^^^ respects and for Council's con-

The cement Industry Is prepared to give Its "best possible coopera¬ tion" to the federal govemment In carrying out the provisions of the Industrial Recovery — PubUc Worka Bill.
Assurance to that effect, Immedi¬ ately after passage of the bill by the Senate, was given to Getveral Hugh 8. Johnson, who will be Fed¬ eral Emergency Administrator, by George P. CofOn, chairman of a special committee of the Cement In- stltute appointed to represent th>^ Industry In Its relations with the government. In an ofBcial commun¬ ication, Mr, CofBn said his Industry was not only in "hearty accord with the aims of the administration," but was in an especially fortunate posi¬ tion to cooperate because there has been in existence for some time a representative group organized for the purpose of establishing a code of ethics.
"At this particular moment," Mr, CofBn wrote, "I am In a position to speak for 123 plants out of a total of 165, reaching from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic and both bor¬ ders. Our industry is in a particu¬ larly fortunate position, in that It is able to put itself promptly into the position of actively supporting the rules of the regulatory agency. This arises from the fact that four or five years ago a number of ce¬ ment manufactiu-ers. who were con¬ sidered idealists, formulated Articles of Association ccreating the Cement I Institute, and approved and a Code , of Ethics, having for its purpose open, free and honest competition among cement manufacturers and full protection to the public.
