Editorial CONSERVING SOIL It took a long time for Ameri­ cans to wake up to the fact that ‘■The Lord gKelh, anti the Lind taketli away," in the matter of “the good faith." Blessed wuh ar_ abundant e and a whole world full of rich, feitsle yrotiml, not un­ til very recently have people be­ come aware of what is happening to it. Nearly everybody remem- beis wl eu a “guilev” on a farm was looked upon i niy as a handi­ cap to fanning, ami no thought given to how It came to be a gully. V-’htn necessity became the mother of invention by reason of a need for more food I-:miac­ tion. a. the country became more populous we became soil ioti- seious. \Ve hope it wasn’t too late. NEW TOP ON US-35 To v. giv-jii many of us, it is good news that the mule high­ way department is to resurface US-35 in Grtenu eoumy. Next to US-68 and US-42, perhaps No. 35 carries the heaviest traitic in the county, and maybe even the heavier-t of ail roads in the county. It is tluough route bisecting what v;e consider the Garden of Eden of Ohio and other parts of the USA. The resurfacing ma­ terial the ; tale is u. ir.g nowadays is splendid, and the treatment of many main routes of the state has put the system in much better condition than it was this spring. We welcome the improvement of US-35. SPEAKING OF ROADS Sometime, a lot of people hope, YOU KNOW THE KIND A man named Adam Collins, trying to kill a mosquito, fell out his bedroom window and was bad­ ly hurt.

Faith: k Family Tradition Lesson for September 26, UUS I-*.'.;.-. t>r. foreman + ln<v improvement of US-42, a Greene county highway that carries ’a tremendoui !y heavy traffic and means much to the county as well as the general public. Hardly any o f the Greene county portions of US-12 are up to standard and some reel ions of it. particularly between Xenia and Cedarville, are old-fa -hicued, nai row, sharp- curved and- dnngi rot-s. Some day, we all 'none, the .-late department will rebuild US-12, relocating parts of it, eliminating danger­ ous curves and surfacing it as it should be. WC SPEND OUR MONEY According n> sale- tax records, we people of Una nc- i entity keep up with the June.-c< of Ohio when it comes to spending our money. Thv report shows us 'way ahead of last year both in sales and pur­ chases. Ibices are high both of what wo sell and what- we buy. If we can keep the ratio between production ec.-is and purchase prices, we will come along hand­ somely. Jit i Low to be sure we are doing that pi t-sent a problem. A WORLD TRAVELER Ray Harris, beloved former head of the Greenfield schools, is traveling in Africa. This almost completes his first-hand studies of the peoples and places of the World, Ho has sought out every cranny of the globe, and visited it. He has addres.-i 1 hundreds of audiences in this section of the country, his topic being interest­ ing things he has seen. When he comes back, we ought to have him come to lecture for us. We can get him, if we plan ahead. Let’s do it. PETE AND REPUTE Down in Highland county, in the Buford scinid’s fourth grade, there are four set- of twins, pre­ senting to Mrs, Gertrude Ruble, the teacher, trouble no end. To make the situation more puzzling, the narm..-' of the children are as similar as. the kids themselves — Donald and Ronald Sams; Jean and Dean Dupps; Jessie ami Bes­ sie Roads and Jackie and Johnnie Young. If Kate and Duplicate and Pete and Ropcte should en­ roll also, Mrs. Ruble’s problem would’t be much more tangled than it is. JUST WHAT IS NEWS? There is a headline over the startling news that Siam, be­ nighted country, actually licenses, opium-smoking places. We wouldn’t he surprised that in time they’ll even license state saloons! WORLD MODEL ' " r V H ERE IS a briel Ikbte quiz; V.'hal Ciirlstmr; man did Paul recommend b- ti.e Pi:.3.p:a:.s as the one c.-mpletely uns-t-lf.s!:- roreon v... he knew? When Paul needed a man to present his ideas to- a "problem church" whom did he send? When Paul warded reliable in­ formation about a chard;-, cn whose repart did he de­ pend? Whom did Paul call “ son” m <re often than any ere else? The answer to a;’ these c;r. sgiens is the same; Timothy. Certainly a man when the great Saint Paul found so ccngenlnl, so reliable, so unselfish nr.d effective a Christian, is a man worth our careful attert: n V.’e ask this cjues- tion about him: \V::r.t made him what he wa.-.? * * • Faith ct Heme S OME MEN Save to ie<re heme to find fahr. But perhaps the hap­ piest Christmas, certmuly the most fortunate, are tk.re who cannot re­ member what it was net to have faith. It was the atm?s;l;ere they breathed ns children. The first people they knew were Chirstians, prayer and faith were taken for granted, the name of Christ was heard only in reverence and love, never in jest cr anger. Timothy grew up in such a home When he became a mature, work­ ing Christian he had no wasted years to regret, no wild eats to pull up. The faith cf his adult mind was not scarred by the acid re­ mains ef earlier d; i;Li. Timothy’s life was all of one piece. He was bom to faith, he grew up in it. Homes can do a great deal for the children who live in them. But nothing e lse—physica l health, poise, culture, friends, ambition—nothisg else is quite so valuable a gift cr quite so lasting, as faith. In later years f., tk may have to be pounded int' a rs.-n or sh -eked into him; but in cv.Mb- M faith is woven in, \v«.ldcd in. and that is as it should be. Happy the Christian who docs not have tc turn Iris back on his childhood when he turns his face to Christ! * *- * Book of Wisdom (CTO ELIGION cannot be taught. J V it can only be caught." is an old saying. It is partly true, Rr you cannot set any dozen people at ran­ dom down on a bench and teach them into faith. If teaching religion were as simple as that, then every Sunday schoil cculd guarantee that every one of its graduates would become a saint. Nevertheless, re­ ligion can partly be taught, for in a book there may be crystallized the faith of many a gencrat'on. A book may concentrate- nr.:! preserve the insight, the inspiration, the as­ surance of rr.ea and women who though dead yet speak. Living with barks of faith is like living with many families of faith at the same time. Such a book is the Bible. And It was the Bible, or ■ so much of it as had been written,! the Old Testament, which was the . one Bccit in, Timothy’s boyhood, home. Through the Scriptures, the boy’s mother taught her son not merely her own faith but that of many a generation before her time In our own day, parents may feci that they come too far short of being saints, so they hesitate about urging their perhaps dim­ ly-felt religion on their children. Yet hi our Bible there is open to all fathers and mothers a means of placing their children In an atmosphere of intense faith. Personal religious genius is rare;* but even though you may be any­ thing but a genius, you still can bring to your child the treasures of the Bible, product of the highest Inspiration and insight the world has known. * * « Women of the Family T IMOTHY’S FATHER was Greek, probably not a Christian He and Timothy may never have understood each other. It was the women of the family who molded the boy’s mind and heart, his mother, Eunice, and his grand­ mother, Lois. It Is always so. It is the women of a family who have most influ­ ence for faith or against it. The boy knows his mother before he knows anyone else. She teaches him to talk, he absorbs her atti­ tudes and ideas even before he un­ derstands them. If father and mother differ in religion, it is likely that childen will follow mother rather than father. * * * (■Copyright br the Inttrnatlanal Council cl ReSgiouj Education on behalf of 40 1 Protexfast deuomlnatioaa.

This Fall Reniember Every Eventful Occasion Telephone company circuits, more than 8,700 teletypewriters, many hundreds of switchboards and vast quantities of other Bell system equipment in keeping a continuous stream of news flowing through­ out the United States and into Canada and Mexico. These Bell system services for the Associated Press, United Press, International News Serv­ ice and similar organizations, are described in the latest edition of the Bell Telephone magazine just off the press. Most of the services are provi^ ed by means of the “private line” facilities of the American Tele­ phone and Telegraph’ company’s long lines department. Principal customers of the press associa­ tions are approximately 1,750 daily newspapers of general cir­ culation and 1,900 commercial ra­ dio stations in the United States. About 95 per cent of the coun­ try’s English-language newspa­ pers receive their news from one or more of the press associations by means of Bell system private line teletypewriter service. At least 90 per cent of the country’s commercial radio stations receive news from 16 to 24 hours a day by the same means. In addition to news, the tele­ phone company wires also carry on-the-spot photographs. This telephoto service is provided by three large picture agencies af­ filiated with the major press as­ sociations, Each of these agen­ cies operates its own telephoto network system, using Bell system facilities. Newspapers^ representing 75 per cent of the daily circulation in the country, receive news pictures which have been transmitted over Bell system facilities. Most of these newspapers get the pictures from telephotograph equipment located on their premises or in the same city.
