Friday, April 15, 1949 The Cedarville, 0- Herald The Cedarville Herald A Republican Newspaper Published Every Friday by THURMAN MILLER, JR. Entered as second class matter October 31, 1887 at the Postof­ fice at Cedarville, Ohio, under A ct o f Congress of March 1879. Member—National Editorial As­ sociation; Ohio Newspaper Asso­ ciation; Miami Valiev Press As- Editorial Inspiration Easter Sunday, always inspir­ ing, comes this year at the most cheering season. Mid-April finds the world abloom, and Hope in the heart o f everything and ev- erybody. It is truly a season o f resurrection, a farewell to old, time-worn things; a greeting to new things, now hope and new loves. The emptiness o f life gives place to a fullness, as the empty 'tomb in which the Savior lay be­ came a symbol o f Hope and Joy and Inspiration. The world a- bout us shows new life, and with­ in us all is an inspiration that on­ ly the Love o f God and of oiir fellowmen can give. Yes, it is an inspiring Easter. Fighting Cancer Medical science is talcing a firmer grasp on its weapons in the fight against cancer, one o f the world's most baffling and dread diseases. Colliers magazine in last week's issue listed 101 questions and answers about can­ cer. There are many very dis­ couraging phases o f the situa­ tion, chiefly that sciences knows but little o f the cause o f cancer and not so very much about its successful treatment. Medical examinations that are done early and constantly are the best as­ surance of discovery o f cancer in -stages early enough to make possible successful treatment. It’s a dread disease, but Greene county is doing its share to fight it. A New Movie As neibhhors, we of Greene county are sharing some of the fame that Kroger Babb, Wilming­ ton’s now-famous moving pic­ ture producer, is earning with his new feature picture on the Christian theme. The picture, which is being shown at Wil­ mington as its Ohio premiere, continues through this whole week. Throngs from all over southern Ohio are getting this prevue o f a picture that critics predict will break many records for attendance. The editors of this paper grew up with Kroger Babb and share with the produc­ er’s friends their delight in his great success. It Is Inspiring Drive any road in this section of Greene county any day now and the inspiration of spring can he seen at every turn—especially the turns on Route 72! This is a very fine country, as we ought not to let ourselves forget, and we live right in the very bread­ basket of it. A bit o f advice: When you drive our roads, don’ t hurry. Thei’e is a newness, an in­ dustry and a coming-to-life of everything that amounts to in­ spiration. We Meant “ Bacon” It sounded like an error, we ad­ mit, when a headline last week said ,‘;Cedap\)ille Wins Volley­ ball Meat.” Just another way of saying they brought home the bacon! That’s all. Co-Operation In many ways it is apparent that the people are learning how­ to work together on essential things. Concentrated effort;; like fighting disease, promotion of sales, crop plantings, town and school projects—in every way people are co-operating. Is This New? Russia announces a new devel­ opment in moving pictures that carries the ordors of the scenes. But don’t we already have some pictures that stink? Important! The U. S. department of agri­ culture is taking a survey to find what percentage of farming people wear pajamas. We are saving space on our front page for the pictures. A Wise Idea The former Kaiser Wilhelms granddaughter, who now lives in Independence, Mo., has become an American citizen. Having lived both in Berlin and in Inde­ pendence, she discovered that the line of promotion is better in Inependence. Wheat Prospects Crop observers say that pros­ pects for wheat in Ohio and the wheat-growing areas o f the west are exceedingly good. While it is true that we can not live by bread alone, yet its comforting to have some old wheat in the mill, and more coming on. P’S “ Bonnie Prince Charlie,” as the Britons call their new pdince, is 10 weeks old, and already is planning a trip to the USA for a loan. Kangarros have shrunk; they are smaller than they were 1,000 years ago. Just thought you’d like to know. The first cow was brought to USA in, 1611. Its male offspring has sure multiplied since then! If the number of absconding bankers continues the daily news­ paper might as well keeping the headline standing — “ Banker Flees.” A commentator, speaking on the Atlantic alliance, says it is “ forging a tie.” Not a chain? English newspapers are now permitted two more pages. ! V' M B? BE. KSSSE7H 1. F8REMAK . S C a iP IC K E : John 0:2“-S3: 14:1-4; 1 Cormttunns 13:1-C.

More so, because Chicago will in time cease to be, while heaven lasts forever. A few atomic bombs, a whiff of some new plague, can make Chicago vanish; but no atomic bomb can touch heaven. The pity is, so few Christians really be­ lieve this. We can get mail from Chi­ cago, but who ever heard of mail from heaven? Wait, though from heaven, ar.d yea in your Eible. If yen accept it for what it is, the Word ef Gcd, then it is the Word frcr.i heaven. To be sure, it dees r.ei tell us much about heaven. If ycu were actually tra­ veling to Chicago, you would not begin by studying a street-map of that city. What you would need is a map of the roads between. So the Bible is not a guide­ book to the “ City Four-square;” it is more of a road-map to help us find the way between here and there. Nevertheless, the Bi­ ble does assure us that heaven is real. Christians have many reasons for believing in the reality ox the future life, and some cf those may r.ot be in the Bible; but the best reasons are there. Jesus Believed It W INIFRED KIRKLAND has truly said that Jesus did not simply believe in immortality; he lived it. Jesus would never have called this world or this life trifling or unim­ portant. But all around, under and over and through this visible world, Jesus was aware cf another. He ■lived and acted as a citieen of both .worlds. He tallied cf life after death ;—or for that matter, cf his cv.n life before his birth—ns eax—ly and n.i- ’turally as you would sneak of next week or next summer. Christ Is Risen M ANY PEOPLE feel it would be easier to believe in the future life is someone who had been across file line of death would return across that line to bring a message from the beyend. So they attend seances and they listen to table- tappings and go tar; ugh all manner of weird performances in order to get a word or two from someone who has passed on. But all the time we do have a record of a Return. Indeed it Is The Return. We call it the Resurrection. The message of Easter is not summed up in songs about some “ Beautiful Isle of Somewhere;” it is in these three words: “ Christ is risen!” He did not return in darkness, ho was not under the control of any “medium,” ho* aid r.ot make him­ self known by ghostly buuntings. He .was seen at supper-tables, he spoke to his friends on a mountainside, he [came to fishermen on a spring morning by a lake shore. The ear­ liest Christians doubted some things; but few doubted that the Lord was risen indeed. Heaven Begins With God T HE CURE for the troubled heart, Jesus said, is faith in Gcd. One of the strongest reasons for believ­ ing that the future life is real, is the nature and character of Gcd him­ self. Jesus said as much once, in an argument with men who did not believe in immortality: “ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” If we were God's paper dolls cr toy soldiers, he might weary of us as a child wearies of its toys, and sweep us all into de­ struction without a moment’s thought. But if we are truly his children, then when life’s evening comes, he will call Ms tired child­ ren home. Eternal Life has two sides; . the heaven-side and the earth- side. The church has never be­ lieved that simple immortality la the same thing as the heaven­ ly life. A Judas, when he dies, goes (as Peter sadly said) “ to his own place.” A Judas carries out his own hell with him. But a man like Paid, or any Christian who has been at home with God hero on this earth, when at last death comes, will, as Whittier said: “ Find himself by bands fa­ miliar beckoned Unto his fitting place.” (Copyright by the International Coun­ cil of Religious Education on behalf of 10 Protestant denominations, Released by WNU Features; CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes With a Buckeye * In Congress The House o f Representatives will be given its annual Easter recess at the close o f business on April 14th and will reconvene on Monday, April 25th. The Sen-, ate, which is far behind the House in meeting its legislative schedule because o f the time consumed in the filibuster on the President’s Civil Rights pi!o- gram, will remain in session in an effort to catch up with its work. Incidentally, this humble reporter expects, as has been his custom for several years, to take advantage o f the House re­ cess to spend a few days with his aged mother in Florida. While President Truman is expected to send the North At­ lantic Defense Pact treaty to the Senate at any time now for ratification, it is doubtful that body will take up, or debate, the treaty ratification issue for some weeks to come. While the Semite is expected to ratify the treaty, many Senators seem de­ sirous o f making it clear to the world America’s entry into the Defense Pact does not obligate this nation to furnish any partic­ ular amount o f arms or finances to the governments o f Western Europe. Last week the House passed the Agriculture Department ap­ propriation bill, totaling a little over 701 million dollars—25 mil­ lion less than requested by Pres­ ident Truman’s Bureau o f the Budget. Approximately half of the appropriation, or 350 mil­ lion dollars, was made directly available for the use of the Ru­ ral Electrification Administra­ tion, with authority given to the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture to use another 150 million dollars for R.E.A. if necessary; 262 million dollars were set aside for the AAA pro­ gram for the coming fiscal year, and 75 million dollars for the School Lunch program, while the Soil Conservation Service ivas_ granted 50 million dollars. Washington and the District o f Columbia will go on daylight savings time early Sunday morn­ ing, April 24tli, and will not re­ turn to Eastern Standard time until Sunday morning 25th. This will mean, during the Spring and Summer, that government act­ ivities in Washington, including sessions of Congress, will begin and end one hour ahead o f the Eastern Standard Time prevail­ ing in Ohio. Last Wednesday Washington witnessed its last Army Day parade when some ten thousand soldiers, numerous units o f mo­ bile artillery, and a score of bands swung across Capitol Plaza and Constitution Avenue past the Phesidential reviewing stand, as some 150 thousand people lined the parade rente. Immediately following the Army Day parade, the new Secretary o f National Defense, Louis John­ son, announced that, in order to bring about a more thorough unification o f •our Armed Ser­ vices, in the future separate “ days” fo r each branch would no longer he observed, hut, in­ stead, honor would be paid all o f the Services on one day each year, to be known as “Armed Forces Day.” Administration leaders in the House have decided not to at­ tempt to bring up either o f two important bills by* Chairman Lesmski o f the Labor Committee until sometime after the Easter recess. One o f the Lesinski bills would repeal the Taft-Hartley A it and substitute in its place the old Wagner Act. The other would increase minimum wages from 40 cents to 75 cents an number and 'type o f workers hour and greatly expand the covered by the Minimum Wage Law. It now appears rather cer­ tain that the House will reject the outright repeal o f the Taft- Hai’tley Act, as well as any a- mendnients which would greatly modify its provisions. Also, that the minimum wage will he fixed at 60 or 65 cents an hour, in­ stead o f 75 cents, and wil he tied to the cost of living index, while the “ coverage” provisions o f the present law will be changed hut little. Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, head o f the President’s Council of Eco­ nomic Advisers, last week warn­ ed against increasing either" gov­ ernment expenditures or federal taxes, arguing that such in­ creases could plunge this country into a serious depression. Dr. Nourse suggested that, in order to hold down -over-all govern­ ment spending and to prevent deficit financing, the cost of any arms furnished Europe, as a re­ sult o f our entry into the North Atlantic Defense Pact, be met by reducing appropriations for the European Recovery Program and our own National Defense Estab­ lishment. Incidentally, commod­ ity prices are continuing their downward trend. Last week a $6.00 a ton cut in the selling price o f steel rails, and a . $2.00 a ton reduction on galvanized steel were announced by several o f the large steel companies. So it anpears that Dr. Nouse may be giving the President and the na­ tion some rather sound advice. SOLDIERS’ BONUS * Fourteen states have passed some form o f soldier’s- bonus, and as many have taken favor­ able action on the national bon­ us. Morons are permitted to wed in Pennsylvania. % . ) < m Esieron 44 Results In Wild Onion Curbs Wild Garlic also Found Vulnerable to Solution Wild garlic and wild onion long have been two of the most trouble­ some weeds in southern lawns, pas­ tures and certified grass and grain seed production fields; As lawn weeds, these plants give the lawn an uneven, ragged appear­ ance and produce a very disagree­ able onion odor when mowed. In pastures, dairy cattle feeding on these plants produce milk with an off flavor which is of great concern to dairymen in several states. Seed production has been limited by the presence of wild onions in many fields because of potential contam­ ination. During the past three years many experiments have been made with varied forms of 2, 4-D to control wild garlic and wild onion. Tests with sodium salt of 2, 4-D were un­ successful. Esteron 44, and the amine liquid Salt formations, how­ ever, gave good control when used at the rate of three to four pounds of 2, 4-D acid equivalent per acre. Apparently the amount of water used makes little difference in the results obtained. As many as 125 gallons per acre and a few as five gallons per acre were applied with equal success. For pasture work, observers agree that Esteron 44 may be some­ what more effective than the amine salts, but because of tlie possible danger from volatility of the esters o f 2, 4-D, it is suggested that‘ the amine liquid salt be used where susceptible plants grow in immedi­ ately adjacent areas. (Lawns, for example, with adjacent flowers and shrubs). New Hay Chopper BILL KILLED The legislative judiciary com­ mittee by a vote of 7 to 0 willed a measure giving the .governor the power to remove derelict sherriffs. A MIGHTY SWAT Westinghouse has a new atom smasher with a six-billion elec­ tron - volt“punch." WOULD CHANGE LAWS Sweeping changes in election laws as they relate to voting rules are proposed by a new mea­ sure that passed the house. This combination hay chopper and ensilage cutter, which can be operated by one man, has been introduced by the New Holland Mhchine company. The new machine feeds, cuts to de­ sired length and blows corn, hay or other crops to mow or silo in one operation. Cutting in lengths ranging from 3-18” to 1%” , the chopper cutter can handle up to 28 tons of silage an hour. Bathtub Fairly Recent Innovation in fimerica Although, many Americans con* sider the daily bath essential to good health, most of their prede­ cessors of a century ago never saw, much less bathed in, a bathtub in the home. For pre-Civil War Americans, bathing was a luxury indulged in a hut along-side tha home. The White House got ita first bathtub during Lincoln*i term. The first all-iron tub was installed in New York City in 1879. Ra in, No-Parade 7 n p & g l lion; in other words, rob the towns and townships of home rule. This is a d reel violation of these rights to which we are entitled as human beings and American citizens. This bill should and will be defeated.

LowestPrices Moisture Conservation Helps With Wheat Crop A 30-acre field that had produced little during the last few years, even with favorable moisture con­ ditions, produced a good wheat crop, according to the Kansas state college extension service. “A combination of things made the land productive again,” a con­ servation district cooperator said. “Use of sweet clover, seeded in the spring of 1946, for green manure and terracing, and contour farming for moisture conservation were im­ portant.” The land, he explained, was badly eroded. The soil was thin, dense and hard to work. It had not produced a decent crop in the previous six years and was practically idle land. Gullies were plowed shut after the terraces were built, so that the whole field could be contour farmed. In addition, grass waterways were developed and more terraces plan­ ned. Lowell Fress Writes from the Legislature Our session Monday night con­ sidered two controversial hills providing levies outside the 10 mill limitation by a reduction in the majority required for pass­ age. Since these have passed the Senate, they will probably be­ come law and carry a 55% maj­ ority at a general election and a 60% majority at a special or primary election. I voted against the passage of both measures. On Tuesday, Governor Lausche submitted his long-delayed exec­ utive budget to a joint session of the Assembly, calling for a total appropriation of $649,461,445, which would set an all-time rec­ ord for governmental expendi- ures during a biennium. Of the total amount, $522,245,456 would be appropriated from the general revenue fund, while an­ other $127,216,899 would be ear- marked for the Highway, conser­ vation and Liquor Departments. The executive budget did not make any provision with regard to additions and betterments or capital improvements. The Gov­ ernor told us a supplemental bud­ get dealing with additions and betterments which cannot be f i ­ nance out of current revenues will be presented at a later date. While I have not had suffi­ cient time to digest the budget, it represents an all-time high in state spending of tax money, in spite of the fact that the Gover­ nor campaigned on a platform that the Republicans had spent too niuch. His message makes no mention of economy, but instead makes an apology for not being able to spend more. As a responsible member of the Finance Committee. I want to check the Democratic plat­ form and the Governor’s cam­ paign speeches to see if the com­ mitments to the schools, the pub­ lic employes, the local govern­ ments and others have bee nkept. As someone said: “ One more bud­ get like this by an expense-sav­ ing Governor, pledged to prudent administration, and we’ll find ourselves economized right into bankruptcy.” The cost of government really worries me, hut regardless of political party siceess. continues to mount. Is it necessarv to have something spectacular happen to uS' similar to that which happen­ ed to Saul of Tarsus when he was going to Damascus to persecute Christians some 200 years ago, before we will find a way to government less costly? I offer these round figures, in millions, fo r your information in the cost of our state govern­ ment for the yeears indicated, viz., Rocepts and Expenditures: Year Recepts Expenditures (In millions) (In millions) 1920 31 29 1930 95 107 1931 105 98 1932 98 106 1933 101 91 1934 136 138 1935 210 197 1936 271 262 1937 295 294 1938 265 269 1939 295 292 1940 316 319 1941 365 339 1942 396 354 1943 368 347 1944 394 375 1945 426 385 1946 ' 522 468 1947 595 559 1948 630 654 These figures should open your eyes. Our citizens seem to de­ mand the paternalistic type of government which- has caused this increase in cost. We also passed and sent to the Senate on Wednesday, House Bill, No. 121, which has to do with the issuance of driver’s licenses.
