/ The Cedarville Herald A, -Republican Newspaper Published Every Friday by ■THURMAN MILLER, JR* Entered as second class matter October 31, 1887 at the Fostof- hce at Cedarville, Ohio, under Act o f Congress o f March 1879, Member—National; Editorial As­ sociation ; Ohio Newspaper Asso­ ciation; Miami Valle- Press AS' socianon. Editorial A DIP INTO THE PAST A fatured story in the papers last week was the injury to a local man in a runaway accident. Time was when runaways were as common as automobile upsets are nowadays. But just as many young folics have never ridden in a vehicle drawn by a horse, there are many who never heard o f a team o f horses running a- way. The editor .shares the hope of "all the young man's friends that his injuries in the rather unique mishap for these times will yield to the expert treatment given him, and that he suffers no permanent injury. IT’S ’ LASSES TIME It’s lasses time again, the sweetest season of the ,year. While syrup-making is hot a major industry in our part of Ohio, it always lias been a wel­ come period with both producers and customers. Some folks will remember ’way back when maple syrup brought a gallon. Now- a-days, a dollar would buy about enough to douse one buckwheat cake! Boiling sap has become a mechanical proceess, reduced to the rhythm of machinery, and carried out to a reciped nicety. Those same old timers remember when the sugar water was boiled down in iron kettles, and was “ done” when the most expert boilers-dawneers agreed that it had boiled enough. Pass the ’lasses! BILLIONS FOR 110*1)8 The nation and tne states are considering spending billions of dollars for new and rebuilt toads. The late Jesse Taylor prophesied that the time would come when the state and nation would build roads. Ills experimental stretch of water-bound road on what is now SIt-72 south of Jamestown was a demonstration of his faith in the future o f loads. Germany built some o f the finest highways in the world, but chose to use them for purposes o f war. It is very essential what purpose roads are put to. We can build a greater America and a great­ er world with the roads we con­ template building. MORE FOR SCHOOLS If nothing happens to the pro­ gram. Ohio should get something over 931 million for public schools. It is planned to use the money for new buildings, remod­ eling of old plants, gymnasiums and tiie addition of rooms and c tuipment. Money is never spent on school—it is invested. SPEAKING OF POWERS N-.ws iton - Congress is debat­ ing whether to grant the presi­ dent special powers by legisla­ tion, or does he have “ inherent powers” The Trumans stood beneath the bowers Somes forty years ago, or less; Becoming lovers’ wedding vowers But Harry’s now quick to con­ fess He never had “ inherent powers” That he could make apply to Bess. GOT ANY OLD TEETH? A Presbyterian mission is col­ lecting old false teeth to be re­ modeled for use of natives of backward countries the missions serve. Got any teeth gnashing ’round in the top drawer? They might do some reformed native warrior a lot of good, and help­ ing people to chew better is a big step in helping them to live better. WHAT HAPPENED? Just when the expression be­ came prevalent, and the “ know­ how” was on everybody’s tongue and in everybody’s ear, suddenly w-e have a “ slow-down.” Can’t “ know-how” handle a “ slow­ down?” IS THIS HARD TIMES? A Florida story about business revealed that some stores with $200 neckties have not sold them. Maybe they could swap them for two pairs of $100 galluses, which we understand is a standard Florida practice in business. Turtle doves arrived as early as mid-February. We welcome their soft notes, and nope they guessed right. Plastic _surgeons arc making a pair o f ears far a Greenville boy born earless. He hears, though his folks believe lie may need ears to keep his hat from sliding down on his neck later, on, and lie might live on a party line sometime! Belgium proposed to sell the Cincinnati zoo a monkey to take the place o f the late Susie. In­ stead of paying $4,600 maybe the zoo might swap some of the folks who laughed at Susie for her successor. Remember; There is no iron curtain that can long keep ideas out or longings in. Nothing could be as valuable for every American to read as Cardinal Gibbons’ “ Decline, and Fall o f the Roman Empire.” It shows what happens to a coun­ try when the government under­ takes to do everything fo r the people. i• After all the trouble o f learn­ ing in school to say “ NEW-fund- land,” now the country itself in­ sists that the correct pronunci­ ation is like it is spelled “ new­ found-land.” Greta Garbo, a name in the movies for a decade, is coming back in a French picture. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:5-7. DEVOTIONAL READING; Matthew 13:44-53. Ideal World Lesson for February 2”, 1919 ft NY MAN with a revolutionary new idea has to try to explain it. Jesus was no exception. As a young teacher o£ religion, he had to answer the question which older teach­ ers were bound to put to him; If your teaching is new, how can it be true? And if it is true, what can be new about it? This was a f a i r question. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ an- Dr. Foreman swer to it. The main theme of that sermon is the kingdom of Gcd, an ancient phrase but with new meanings as Jesus used it. We can say “The Ideal World” and mean just the same thing. »; * * The Right People J ESUS EMPHASIZES, above all, the kind of people who belong to God’s Ideal World. This would be surprising to some modern plan­ ners. Communists think that if you can once get a world in which every one has enough to eat and drink and wear, a world where nobody is poor Cor everybody is as poor as every­ body else, which is all the same thing), you will iv've the perfect World. Jesus would know* this is nonsense. But the fact is tlv.t even after you got your perfect social sys­ tem, with perfect politics and perfect distribution of wealth, even a perfect climate and soil, you would still be uowliere near the Ideal World unless you im­ proved your people. The wrong kind of people will spoil the best kind of system. So we- find Jesus talking not about sys­ tems but about people. • • • Is Tills You? W HAT WE call the “ beatitudes” (Matt. 5:7-12) is Jesus* eight point program for the citizens of the Ideal World. The right peo­ ple are happy people, to begin with. (The word translated “ Blessed” is a regular Greek word for “ happy.") But the main difference between different kinds of people is not that some want to be happy while others do not; rather it is that they are made happy by different kinds of things. Jesus’ ideal people are humble, not proud; they see their sins and are sorry for them; they are “meek”—that is, they are not in a hurry to demand their own rights; they do not merely admire good­ ness, they are positively huiv'ry for it; they are merciful, not careless or cruel; they are pure in heart and not only in speech and act; they are not mere peace-wishers or peace-lovers (who isn’t?) but peace­ makers; they are people who are brave enough to do ’.vhat is right not only when it is comfortable and popular but even when it brings them slander and suffering.^ * * * gelt. D O YOU really want an ideal world? The best way to begin is to learn how to be a citizen of such a world. Jesus used two in­ teresting simple words to describe the kind of people he means. You are salt, he said, — you are light. Salt and; light are old-fashioned things but they have r-ever gone out of date. No one has invented a good substitute for either one. So there is no substitute for a really good Christian. Liv­ ing, here and now, like citizens of the ideal, world to come, Christians are both salt and light. Salt because they give a taste to otherwise flat or bitter life. Salt because they keep human society from going rotten. This world is in a had enough mess as It is; but what it would be if all the Chris­ tians were removed from it at once, one hates to think. *; • • Light WND LIGHT! Like salt, light a "* ought not to be too noticeable. A glaring light is bad on the eyes, as too much salt is bad on the tongue. So a Christian is not sup- posed to rub his goodness in on other people, so to speak. He is as indispensable as salt in bread—and should be as inconspicuous. But light, like salt, if it is any good has to be applied directly. A strong light concealed in a steel tube does no good. Swishing the glass end ol the salt-cellar around in the soup gives it no flavor. The salt must get into the soup, the light must touch what we see.

BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Congress If there is any question in the mind o f any thinking American as to whether the United States is headed down the road toward state socialism the answer can be found in a new bill—H. R. 2756 —Introduced in the House by Representative Brent Spence o f Kentucky last week as an Ad­ ministration ‘ measure. This bill, if enacted into law, would put into effect a fa r greater control- leed economy than President Tru- r.ian proposed in his campaign for reelection las fall. Under it’s pro­ visions the President may, by tegulatum or order, fix the maxi­ mum price at which any com­ modity may be sold in the United States, by any person or concern, if the “ price thereof has risen or threatened to rise” at any time after December 1948. Farm prices would be partially protected by the proviso parity prices must be maintained. Under this bill the 1 resident would also have * the power, through a temporary Wage boaul, to control wages. Finally, and even more important, the proposed measure would autor- izc the President to make loans, or to use government funds fo r the expansion or constniction of industrial plants to produce any and all commodities wihch he may decide are in short supply. Such loans and construction can be made without regard to any li­ mitations in existing law. In other words, the President could, if he pleased, put the Government in competition with any business enterprise in the country, on his own finding and decision alone; Write the Clerk o f the House o f Representatives for a copy o f H. R. 2756 and study it fo r your­ self. The President has sent to the Congress a message requesting an appropriation o f five million four hundred thousand dollars fo r the repair, rebuilding and re­ construction of the White House. While the amount requested is not the eight or ten million dol­ lars some public officials claimed would be necessary, it is more than twice what the erection o f a brand new White House of the same size and style, with every modern facility, would cost. Con­ gress must decide whether to pay an additional three million dol­ lars, fo r historical and sentimen­ tal reasons, to preserve only the present outer walls of the White House. Incidentally, last week the House authorized funds fo r re­ pairing the Capitol roof which has been in such a state of col­ lapse since before the war as to require unsightly steel supports to keep it from falling in on the Congressional chambers. The now Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, and the Truman Administration are having quite a bit of difficulty in gaining sup­ port fo r this country’s entry into the North Atlantic Defense Pact. European countries have been given to understand that if they join the Pact, American military might would immediately come to their aid in case o f attack. However, Members, o f the United States Senate, which body, under the Constitution, must ratify the Treaty or Pact, are calling at­ tention of the President and Sec­ retary o f State Acheson to the fact that the too often overlooked Constitution o f the United States provides that only Congress can declare war or commit our armed forces to foreign militai*y activi­ ty. There is strong opposition in the Congress to binding this country to automatically join in any war which may develop in Western Europe. On the other hand the Western European na­ tions seemingly want to make certain America can be counted on to defend them at any time against their enemies. American approval o f the North Atlantic Defense Pact, as proposed, would mean a complete change in our historic foreign policy. President Truman is still de­ manding that Congress increase Federal taxes by at least four billion dollars, and Social Secur­ ity taxes by approximately two billion, this year. Speaker Ray­ burn, following a White House visit last week, announced - his belief that a tax increase this year would be necessary. Chair­ man Doughton o f the House Ways and Means Committee and Chairman George of the Senate Finance Committee are refusing to give early Consideration to any tax increase legislation. They are taking a wait and see attitude, and are evidently wondering just how high taxes can go without wrecking the national economy. They are also questioning the, wisdom o f tax increases when business ’ activities and employ­ ment are declining. The Truman Administration and Democratic leaders in Con­ gress are doing a lot o f “ passing the graveyard whistling” these days about business and employ­ ment conditions. In spite o f the sharp decline in prices, produc­ tive activity and employment dur­ ing the past few weeks, the Presi­ dent and some of his top advisors still iiipist the nation is threa­ tened with a dangerous inflation rather than a depression. The Administration's legislative lead­ ers last.week denied the existence o f any unemployment problem, or that such a problem is even in prospect, They argue that there is still a great shortage of work­ ers everywhere. Yet last week the Administration-controlled House put through a doubled deficiency appropriation to provide for a large increase in the number of Government clerks assigned' to processing unemployment com­ pensation applications. Incident­ ally, the number of persons draw­ ing unemployment compensation in the various States has more than doubled in the last few weeks, and is now higher than at any time since before the war. “ The Big Fisherman” has set a new record f o r book sales. JURISTS HEARS CASES Because of the death of .Judge F, M. Clevenger, common pleas judge o f Clinton county, Judge Frank Johnson o f the Greene county bench has been assigned by the chief justice to hear some matters in the courts in Wilming­ ton. First change in the mechanized side-delivery farm rake since the advent of the tractor is shown here. It has been engineered anew from the ground up and has floating reel and basket, r&ke at high tractor spooda, The four-bar reel is V-belt powered from the chain- driven power take­ off. The rake is this manufacturer’s third contribution toward complete mechanization of haymaking. A first cne-njan, twine-tying pick-up baler produced commercially, and the new field bale loader already have cut huge chunks from the farmer’s haymaking schedule. Support for Bossy This scantily-clad bovine beau­ ty attracted wolf whistles at the Second annual National Farm show in Chicago by appearing in a newly designed udder support. The novel “ unmentionable” is said by the manufacturer to in­ crease a cow’s milk yield by 35 per cent. New Animal Repellent Will Lessen Free Meals Animal wildlife will find free lunches fewer and farther between next year. A new product developed .by the B. F. Goodrich chemical company and tested by the state of Maine fish and game department at its Swan Island wildlife refuge, may be just what farmers have been seeking. At Swan Island, the new material has been sprayed on leafy crops by biologists who observe that it will not wash off and that a deer, after nipping at the treated leaves, will turn up his nose at future free meals. Certain types of insects also are discouraged by the action, of the repellent, researchers revealed. Crop damage by raiding wild ■deer runs in excess of $150,000 an­ nually in some districts of Maine and amounts to millions nationally. The search for satisfactory repel­ lents has been a major project. Beef Cattle Reported Liking Citrus Molasses Beef cattle really go for citrus molasses. Cattle having access to thi feed not only have shown no hesitation about lapping it up from troughs, but have seemed to prefer it. Cattlemen feeding the molasses are using a combination of trough and drum molasses for making the material available to their animals. The trough used is 30 inches wide and about 12 feet long.

Manufacturers declare that a “ history of the side-delivery, rake, which is the machine yoiLsee piling up long rows of hay, straw and other crops for baling, shows that there has been little or no change in the machine since the advent of the tractor. It is the first all-new rake in 5Q years.” 1 Exclusive features of the rake are the floating reel and basket which permits use of the full length’ of the 64 pairs of raking teeth at' all times and a positive chain pitch’ control which changes the angle of the teeth for different raking condl-’ tions. ’ Two speeds forward and one speed for tedding, or reverse rak­ ing, permit the operation of the SHECOtflON T W £ ' maRs! 1 is ■* BrownWarnsof Govt.Spendingin LincolnDayTalk Rep.

"The slavery and bondage o f bureaucratic government are fast endangering our system of repre­ sentative government,” Mr. Brown declared at a Lincoln Day dinner sponsored bv the Bath township Women’s Republican club. The congressman told his audi­ ence that many people in America are in bondage without realizing it. He called for the “ leadership of another Lincoln,” “Unless we have that leadership, the United States and the rest of the world again may be placed in slavery,” he said, He assured the 350 Re­ publicans present that the Re­ publican party “ is on the march again,” Mr. Brown has served the last eighteen months on the Hoover commission for reorganization of the .federal government.
