Entered at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31,1877, as second class matter, Friday, December 8, 1939 WITTENBERG COLLEGE DROPPED * • ££• "#&* The announcement thaLthe Association of Colleges and Universities had dropped: Wittenberg College from the associa­ tion no doubt is a bitter dose for the school authorities as well as the denomination that supports it. All schools .and colleges, state Supported and denomina­ tional, are having a hard time not only making ends meet but keeping their doors open, and from a list we have scanned most of them report heavy, loss last year with more red ink foy this year. This is of course not true with state universities that are supported out of the taxpayer’s dollar, but the. cost to even a state as wealthy as Ohio, is proving a real burden and the time will come when there will be red ink there,-* In as much as the standard of education in the country is measured by the dollar and the number of alphabetical letters at the end of a name, the original purpose of education and the means of acquiring it have been laid aside. There was a time when education was to be as cheap as possible so that every boy and girl could take advantage of it. The future course for the church supported school, and it matters not whether it is Protestant* Catholic or Jewish, is very uncertain, due to the era of new though, more liberal views and interpretations, especially towards all religious beliefs. In many of the advanced class rooms of the country the existance of the Diety is almost repudiated. With this condition growing from year to year those who have the denominational college at heart have reason to fear for its future. Under existing rules, Ohio nor few if any of the states, have standards of*education for colleges. The higher univer­ sities have adopted certain standards and a form of. ethics that are now being forced on the small institutions, It is to be re­ gretted that the heads of the higher institutions have adopted a course that now denies education to those who have not a fat pocketbook. In Ohio we have a report of even a church sup- pored college informing prospective students that if they have not 31,200 a year there is no need of registering. It is such standards that has resulted in Wittenberg being dropped from the association, which of course means the stu­ dents must.suffer the disadvantage of entering other schools later, having grades from a school not “accredited.” , Numerous complaints were the basis of the Wittenberg being dropped. One was the number of, hours the faculty Was forced to teach. Another was the low salary paid. Objection was made because the president had outside business interests. In justice to him he had offered to resign months ago hut his. . board unanimously turned down the suggestion. The school has an endowment of more than $2,000,000. When the New Deal began to enforce the “distribution of wealth” by high tax on gifts of a certain amount, all schools suffered to some extent. When a fight was made on corpora­ tions and business reached a low ebb dividends on stock owned by institutions began to drop. When the government began to loan “borrowed” money, at a very low rate of interest as paid on government bonds, income from this source dropped and hundreds of colleges found themselves in the red. Those in authority using the common sense method of busi­ ness conduct could do nothing else other than reduce all operat­ ing costs or close the doors. Wittenberg was forced to reduce the number on the faculty besides cutting .salaries. This was done by many schools. Now" a school that has made effort to keep iffom going “broke” is dropped from an accredited list, all because of unreasonable ^standards set by higher institu­ tions, many of them supported by taxes. The .whole tendency is to crowd out tne denominational school, also to place the .cost of education beyond the ability of the average parent to pay, and certainly a great responsibility for a student to undertake to finance his own education. The Wittenberg situation is a warning to parents with chil­ dren, Whether in the grade's of public schools, or ready for en­ trance in some college. It is a serious situation from many angles- Sit down with pencil and paper and list the number of boys and girls that have left our own local college and the places they occupy in most all the fields of endeavor. Most of them are holding their own in competition with graduates from the great universities. How many of them would have had a College education had their parents been faced with the stand­ ard at registration time: “If you have not $1,200 it is useless for you to register.” The dollar standard for education may stand yet for a few years and then only because a public conscience has not been a- roused, When the public speaks then will, state supported schools face the same problems that Wittenberg faces, today. It is remarkable the public support being given Gov. John W, Bricker in his stand against calling another session of thp legislature to meet de­ mands of cities in their cry for relief.1 While city politicians cry aloud for more money to hire more politicians to dole out relief, the public has be­ come hardened to their pleas and turn a deaf ear to such pleading. It is the old demand for the rural counties to help the cities feed the unemployed, many of whom do not want employ­ ment, >- Cleveland can give out the loudest yell because under former administra­ tions the shifting of state fundB to that city in huge chunks was for poli­ tical purposes. Gov. Bricker i s ”not playing the city politicians against the rural counties that must help pay for the city relief setup. When the Governor invited all the editors! of the big? daily papers to lunch with him and openly discussed the city relief problems the group was unanimous against calling another session of the legislature. The Governor pointed out that his administration had made a- vailable ten million dollars for relief but the cities failed to make good use of it in every case. The cities .now want, the share that is due the rural counties. . Cleveland and Cuyahoga have delinquent taxes amounting to more than $200,000,000, since 1934, and no effort has 'been made to collect this sum. This past week Cleveland appealed to Washington, the political Santa Claus, for aid, and the WPA will make jobs for (5,000. The govern­ ment has sent in 32 cars of provisions, flour and apples for distribution to relief applicants. This week it is butter and beans and yet the union­ ized relief leaders utter - complaint that they have no money for gasoline for their automobiles and. no funds for amusement. One group in the 60,000 on relief does not want WPA labor raking leaves and holding the handle of a shovel, do to winter ex­ posure. A salesman from a Cleveland house on Tuesday openly rebuked Mayor Burton of that city for his-attitude in advertising his city as a refuge for rnAiherican citizens begging for bread and as he stated thousands of hem Russians, Germans and Italian, .hat are riot naturalized and dare re­ alm to their native country without r penalty- of being forced into the irmy. The salesman ventured the re­ mark that Burton was clever enough .o hold up relief demands until after le was elected for a third term as nayor, something that could not nappen today. He says Republican carters have turned away from Bur- ion and all business •lenders :deplore he exposing of conditions to the vhole country. He says if it were not 'or CIO leaders •in that city there vould be no ttrouble in solving the •elief situation. The Mayor and the 1IO have formed a partnership on re- icf for political -purposes, if reports .ve get are correct. ....... ..ft ....uimi.iEwimipiw' jHPO.inff.—T*■.".■I"'. W For damage to the front of btuineu properly and filth the starlings take first place, City authorities "have tried many plans to displace the birds but without success during the winter months. When warmer nights come in the spring the birds seek the open spaces in $he country. One must wonder how so many starlings as can be found in the early evening in Springfield can even find enough food to exist. • ■'We want more relief money," cry managers and here Is what we take from the ,Dayton Daily News, Tues­ day evening. "Figures taken ffom the Dayton Clearing House association showed that the total pay roll in No­ vember in Dayton was $7,460,340.67, an increase of $1,092,287.10 over the corresponding month Jn 1938." Pay rolls running over previous years and more men a t work and yet we hear the cry for more relief money. New Deal leaders should explain how pros­ perity -and relief go hand in hand. Even the Socialist mayor in New York City has taken up the cry fpr more tax money for the relief spenders in Ohio and His Honor takes a crack at Gov. Bricker letting the “people starve.” Relief is now the nation's Number One racket backed by an or ganized movement of those who live first off a large part of the funds that might go to relief. The taxpayer is done and hypocritical cries of the executives in New York, Cleveland and Toledo will not turn the tide which is now definitely , against the racket. Dayton city officials also cry for state funds and yet we take the record from the News as it is.- It is really funny when you read the LaGuardia, New York -mayor, statement which takes Gov: Bricker to task on the relief question. The Governor lost no time in giving his answer. LaGuardia, a Socialist, and New Deal supporter, pulled the New Dealers down in Washington for only forty-one million dollars of Uncle Sam’s cash, that belonged to all the states, to build an airport for the, benefit of private companies that own ajr transports. It is one of the show places in New York. Most of the other cities have built their own landing fields -and paid for them or they are owned by the airplane trans­ port companies. The New York mayor is like the occupant of the White House, strong for spending other people’s money and little of his own. SANTA'S HOME AT BIKE’S IN DAYTON Children throughout the Miami Valley are paying Santa a visit, and he is receiving them in his comfort-' able living room in his home in Rike’s = Toyland, Dayton, Ohio. The children; find him, before his fireplace in his comfortable red leather chair, sur­ rounded by the many toys which he has made to gladden their hearts at Christmas time. A beautiful Christ­ mas tree, with Colored lights, stands in the corner1of his home. The ropf pf his home is covered w,ith snow, and veal shrubbery* outside his window glistens with snow flakes, Santa is resting here after the many months of work making toys, He invites every little boy and.girl to come in and see him in his Santa Claus home a t Rike's where he will ^ be staying until Christmas. Mr, Robert W, MacGregor, whp has been receiving instruction in airplane flying a t the Dayton airport, passed his first exemination on Wednesday and received liis government license for solo flying. He will continue his course for training that he can be licensed for passenger flying. For Sale—Residence on Main at. Mrs. Florence Ridgway. LIGHT OF FREEDOM MUST BURN HERE Those who forecast that if a war broke out in Europe senti­ ment in this country would swiftly grow martial, were appar­ ently mistaken. All the evidence indicates that the great bulk of our citizens are*grimly determined that this time1we shall stay out—and that, irrespective of our sympathies, Europe’s quarrels are not ours. Certainly there is reason in this point of view- For if the war goes on for years to a bitter and exhausted end, all that is best in Europe will be submerged, perhaps for generations. It is here, in .the Western hemisphere where there has been no major war for three-quarters of a century, that the fruits of civilization must be protected and nurtured and developed. We have many big jobs to do at home in these unpredictable times. And the biggest of those jobs is to see that the light of free­ dom, which has been extinguished in so much of the world, is kept burning here undimned.

GREENE COUNTY'S ONLY RENDERING PLANT If there is one group on the spot it is -tHo New Deal in Washington, now that Russia and its^Communis- tis leaders have attacked little Fin­ land. The New Deal is largely Com munistic and Communistic leaders, in­ cluding Browder, the head, have ad­ mitted the Democrats traded govern­ ment jobs for that vote a t the last na­ tional election. The Dies investigat­ ing committee reports more than 600 avowed Communists in different gov­ ernment offices from the Executive office down. With the cabinet tied up with Com­ munist leaders, the New Deal is on the spot with all this fuss about Russia. How far can Roosevelt go in opposing Russia and not infiamc Sister Perkins, Ickes, Hopkins, and other New Deal supporters such as Beft Cohen, Arthur .Tugwell, and a long list of others that could bo men­ tioned ? To .meet certain expenses .previous *0 the revival of the Cedarville' Com­ mercial Club, local clubs assumed the ?xpcnse but a t the last minute the lo-Operative- Club^hrough one of its members registered' an objection. When.this was brought to the atten­ tion of the group present there was some smiles and a few snickers thnt more or less placed a tog on the club, •specially one, that held the title of 'Co-Operative,", Tuesday night a dozen or so of the members gathered to wind up the club’s affairs and give the organization a fitting burial with ill „ obligations cleared. Two other riubs that assumed the Co-Operative share were reimbursed and the balance turned over to the Commercial Club. It developed that the objecting lflem- ber had been a "star boarder." The only asset not disposed of is a Grub­ ber check” used by the objector to pay dues. ! _ j Daily Hog Market .

SPRINGFIELD, O. Then* 5*42 Another trade pact between this country and some South American na­ tions as backed by FDR and Hull, a pure free trade agreement, is to let copper in to compete witli the copper interests at home. A great smoke goes up even in labor ranks on this issue as all copper workers are well organized. '•Sec, Hull is a free trader and cares nothing about wlmt labor unions say. ,He is letting free meats come in from Argcntino in competi­ tion with American farmers but lie enros nothing about what they think, i even if the feeder must take five cents * for his hogs. Hull is no Communist but it cannot be denied that he is a Southern free trade Democrat, Some Ohio cities have more than relief to worry about. For instance in Springfield, Columbus and Cincin­ nati the starlings by the thousands infest the downtown sections of the city and have found warmer roosting about the buildings and particularly the neon lights. The starlings keep neon sign repairmen busy for the small glass tubes are easily broken. . For Rent—Four room apartment. Modern. . Phone 114. Cedarville federal Savings & Loan Association.
