SIXTY-SECOND YEAR, *NO. 30 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 23,1939 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR CONGRESSIONAL By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District Last week the House extended relief to American employers and employees to thetune o f approximately two hun­ dred and seventy-five million dollars a year by amending the Social Secur­ ity Act to postpone for three years the increase in old age retirement taxes originally scheduled to take ef­ fect next Jatfuary 1st, A t the same time the Act was greatly amended for the benefit o f employees and other beneficiaries thereunder. Old age re­ tirement payments under the Act were ariginally scheduled to begin in 1942, until the House last week voted to move the effective date therefor up to January 1st,.. 1940. In addition thereto provisions were also made for payment o f retirement benefits to wives and dependent children o f bene- ficiariea in case off death of the wage earner; and, also pay fifty percent of the benefits o f a living retired wage earner to his wife, should she also be living and over the age of sixty-five. Another phase of the Social Secur­ ity laws greatly liberalized was the increase' voted in Federal aid to the states for payment of old age pensions under state laws. At the pre­ sent time the Federal government con tributes, up to fifteen dollars a month to the various states to match state approprlitions for the payment of old age pensions. Under the new law, as amended,1the Federal government will now contribute up to twenty dollars per month ter match state funds for that purpose; which, of course, will permit; Btate old age pensions o f forty dollars per month to be' paid in the future instead of thirty dollars per months as in the past. The same type o f an. amendment to the law-was made in reference to pensions for the blind, ^-providing for a maximum contribu­ tion by the Federal government of twenty dollars fo r each blind person, subject to the state also furnishing twentydollars; thus permitting a pen­ sion to blind persons of forty dollars a month. Congressman Thomas A. Jenkins o f Oh io,,by the way, was the author o f the amendment giving ad­ ditional benefits to the blind. Other provisions o f the law relative to the support o f dependent or crippled chil­ dren were also liberalized. That Congress is growing, just a little tired o f Tennessee Valley Au- ihority encroachment into the field o f private business at the expense o f ;he taxpayers was proven conclusively ast week, when the House substituted ;he May hill for that o f Senator.Nor­ ris relative to TVA. The substitute fill reduced from one hundred million lollars to sixty-one and a half million lollars. the amount appropriated for ;he purchase o f competing power com­ panies in the Tennessee Valley area, md provided that no private utility, fiber than those already contracted lor, should be purchased in the future by the Authority. The bill also car­ ried other restrictive provisions limit­ ing future activities o f TVA., to the immediate territory in which it now functions. Late last week, afteedays o f debate and a stromy all-night session, the House passed the WPA appropriation bill fo r the fiscal year beginning July 1st. The appropriation was for fifteen hundred million dollars, which is ap­ proximately seven hundred million dol­ lars less than the appropriation for the same purpose for the present fiscal year. However, the taxpayers should not be too over-joyed, as It would not he surprising if, when Congress meets hext winter* there will be a demand for a deficiency appropriation to pro­ vide additional funds for the continued funCti6rtiog»of WPA, with the claim that such appropriation is absolutely essential to properly -care fo r the needy. At least that is what happen ed last winter. chool Board Elects P. Orr As Coach The Cedarville Twp.

It is not a freak) structure but different from most church edifices. It is not'called church but the- “ Tyson Temple Methodist Church." It io- modemistic but not extreme, It is substantial and evidently o f fireproof construction. It has the appearance o f a small temple as you approach.it. The tower is a new idea and resembles what is known to most people as broadcasting tower with a largo golden cross on top. As you enter the foyer to the right or left ir ' a half circle-of glass- brick that permits light. The windows are ornate but not overdone, all. metal work being aluminum. The auditor­ ium isi bright and cheerful, it has dec­ orations in blue and .gold that ate in­ viting; and restful, and yet nothing is extreme. The choir, loft behind the pipe organ is a half circle and. over­ head it is fashioned, as a “ band-stand shell.” The lighting is the very latest. There is not a chandelier as all lights are on the side'-in artistic frosted glass boxes trimmed with aluminum Aict*l. There is' no balcony but the basement Is arranged for Sunday school.) The idea af a house o f wor­ ship was carried out, There are no reception rooms and no kitchen equip­ ment, the restaurant feature being eliminated. The acoustics- is perfect and every word from the pulpit can be heard. To get inside this edifice you passed through bronze doors that are never locked. The members, the citizens and the traveler are invited to inspect the building whenever they desire; Now I know some o f our readers are wondering bow suoh a building can be supported in a town o f 650 people. Mr. Tyson worked that out in his original plans. It would-be out o f place for anyone to donate a bundling costing $150,000; that the community could not support. Mr, Tyson endowed the church to the ex­ tent o f $5,000 a year for Its support. He did more than that he provided a residence for the pastor and rebuilt an adjoining building for a parish house for church affairs. When the church- building was dedicated, Mr, Tyson although a resident o f Chicago, in his advaneved years joined the church that is housed in a memorial to his Mother, his first conectlon with any church. (Continued on pog* four), mainly to lodgings. Some wheat scab was found which results in white or blasted heads and badly shriveled kernels. Gov.

The rainfall thus fa r this year has been 22.28 inches, an increase o l 3.48 inches over the average.
