OFTEN IT IS OF • MORE SIGNIFICANCE TO YOU, CEDARVILLE, OHIO, rfpD AY , DEC. 27, 1940 PRICE, $1,50 A YEAR We would like to become personal Jongr enough to wish every reader of >thf8 column a'Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthful and Prosperous New Year. In many countries there will not' be much merriment this Christmas, nor will there be. happiness, health and prosperity in -the New Year; Man's-inhumanity to man has-* seen to that, Here in America we still live in'peaccjand while we may not he as prosperous as we would like, we'can enjoy , personal safety, most o f the creature comforts, and perhaps some o f the luxuries o f life, Such are the bleaings 'o f living in a Republic and in the New World, where liberty, freedom and -peace still, prevail. Let „US all in the New Year devote our energies and our abilities to the pres­ ervation of liberty, freedom and peace with honor in our beloved America, \ The Walter-Logan Bill, designed fo give to the citizenship-of the" United States the right to appeal to the courts from decisions, rulings, arid regulations handed down by the vari­ ous bureaus,.agendas and administra­ tive departments o f government, is «dead. The Bill passed in the House by a heavy majority and in the Sen­ ate by a. substantial vote, but was; vetoed by the President last Wed- . heSday. On the same day, with a large number o f absentees, the House fail­ ed to override the Presidential veto by the necessary two-thirds vote, thus killing th elegislation for this session — o f Congress. However—more—than a majority o f the membership present did vote in favor of the Bill becoming a law. ■In his veto message, the Presi­ dent criticised severely the lawyers o f the country, and, to a leser extent, the courts. He insisted that the enact- •ment o f the Walter-Logan Bill into law would seriously hinder the ad-., ministrative functions of Government, The message also championed a new philosophy o f govermeht— that legal precedent and judicial establishment o f personal rights were outmoded, and that, .modern government must look «■ • at-final .results achieved rather. than . toward individual rights. The present .session of the 76th Con­ gress has broken all .records for length. Beginnning on January 3rd, 1.940, the session is. now scheduled to last until January 3rd,-1941, following the failure to obtain an agreement to adjourn sine die on last Thursday. .The 76th Congress will automatically die at noon on January 3rd, 1941 when ' the 7.7th Congress i$ sworn into office. Inasmuch as 1940 \Vas leap year this session of the 76th Congress will have lasted fo r three hundred and sixty-six . days, a record that may perhaps be equaled but never' surpassed in the future. The longest sesion o f any pre­ vious Congres was the second session o f the 65th Congress during World War days, when.the law-makers re­ mained in session from December 3rd, 1917 until November* 21st, 1918, or •~35rdaysiir5llr^----------------- ----'---------- I COURT NEWTS j I •' . { 1 DIVORCE SUIT Evelyn Jones Bales seeks a decree from Paul R.

Most o f the lawmakers want time to think things out before, passing judgment on the Presidential proposal. In pri­ vate conversation, however,'many o f them point out that such a plan would be another great step toward Ameri­ can involvement in the war; and that, as in the last war, American soldiers will soon follow American money and American munitions into the European conflict. Many others arc pointing out that most of the supplies furnished Wotild be destroyed in the conflict and could, not be returned; that after the war is ended and peace returned thru- out the world, America would not want, or could not use, a,huge amount Of, war equipment, much o f which would be outmoded. Still others argue that Great Britain has n o i'y e t paid her obligations to the .United States from the-last World War, or even the Interest thereon, and insist there is not as much likelihood o f , the new loans being paid,' even in kind. It - must be remembered that the Ad ministration has announced a policy of rendering all possible aid, short o f war, to Great‘Britain, Also that the Axis Powers may decide that America has taken steps farther than "aid short o f war” declare the United States a participant in the war, and begin sinking U.

About Gare o f Your - Christmas Flowers Mora than one recipient o f Christ­ mas flowers has wondered Yfliy they have been so short lived, many not holding , their bloom a week after Christmas. The gorgeous Poinsettia, favorite Christmas-flower that should hold its. bloom a month, has been raised in a hot house under scientific care and conditions. It needs daily watering but-should never stand in water and being of a semi-tropical plant should have some .moisture in the room. A shallow pan of water under and near the plant is an aid. It should never be" near a door where cold drafts hit it. It should be kept in a room where the temperature should never get be­ low 60 degrees at night, The day temperature of 70 suits best, It should have some sunshine to keep the rich color in the bloom. Another popular holiday flower -is tire Cyclaman which differs from the Poinsettia in habit and requires dif- rooni -never over 60 if possible and shdUld never be exposed to a lower temperature than forty. It should be kept out o f drafts, have some sun­ shine each day if possible, and have plenty o f moisture at all times but never flooded. Most every flower grown if a hot house must'have its peculiar culture and then the proper care in-the home.* The Poinsettia can be grown from year to year in the home by proper care and rest after blooming for a month.
