Editorial AROUND HOME Drive around Greene county right now and it will be hard for you to think o f any one ever be­ ing hungry. Rich, black fertile soil is being put to corn, and with the new varieties yields of 100 bushels to the acre are quite common. Specialists p r e d i c t yields will be very much higher with the further development o f hybrids. Pastures are. green. Herds are grazing knee jdcep in * cream-producing grass. New cal­ ves, new colts, this-year’s lambs and pigs by the fiehlful. It looks like we could feed the world. But it is a big world, and millions of people have to eat, though some of them get very little o f what to us is looked upon as bare ne­ cessities. . . And school will soon be out. Every school-house in our area is the center of some mighty busy preparations — finals, tests, baccalaureate*, commencements. The schools are our biggest and most important institution-; and all o f us are intcre.-ted in what they do. . . Sunday was Mother’s Day and a bright spot on the month’s calendar. The weather­ man smiled. Churches featured the occasion. It has come to be a significant event. Sentiment has a big place in our lives, and love and kindness and recogni­ tion o f service should be an every­ day ceremony with all of us, so Mother’s Day helps us. . . Tins is the season of the year wh.cn everything in nature is trying its best to take part in tire baek- to-life movement. We all share the inspiration o f it,-— RANDOM COMMENT The slection of Superintendent Wade Miller as commencement speaker at Cedarville College i- bringing popular approval. The Middletown educator i - consider­ ed not only a splendid admini.— trator hut an excellent speaker. . . Two Greene county newspaper­ men, one of the present and an­ other o f the past, were honored by admission to the national journalism fraternity last week; (Jack) Galvin, second in line of the owners o f the Green County Journal fro three-quarters o f a century, and Thurman Miller, Jr., present owner of that newspaper and the Cedarville Herald. It is a distinction that the two Green county editors appreciate highly. . . They say the “ logjam” in con­ gress was broken by the vote on the housing* bill. What the hous­ ing bill neeedj is unjammud logs. . . A New England congressman practices on the violin in hi- office every morning. But no­ body sings an accompaniment. . Over 730,009 people are homelo.-.. as a result o f the fighting in Palestine. Since the days when we conned history books and stud­ ied Sunday school lessons fight­ ing has been going on in the Holy Land, It will take more than UN and our billions, it seems, to make it the Land o f Promise. THIS ‘N’ THAT True to tradition, May did some strickly Mayish pranks last week—sending the thermometer bubbling and brothing cut of the top of the tube, and then scolding it till it. scurried back down mid­ way towards the bulb. Gee, wasn’t it hot! And didn’ t the old coat coat feel good the next day. . . Dismismissal o f 8,000 employes of the Veterans adminit ration, got front page lat week. Forty- two offices in 28 states were closed by the order. The idea is . . The national house again has allowed for the administration, to meet the,cu t in the budget a $300 million educational bill sent down from the senate. A similar bill last year got lost purposely , in a house committee. A t least the senate favors better pay fo r teachers to keep other lines o f business from Hatching them out o f the classroom. . . Just when dealers had begun to see mo.re than a glimmer of hope o f car deliveries, along came a strike at the sprawling River Rouge Ford plant. tn> significant is Ford in the automotive world that what happen to Ford has a distinct effect o nal! other fac­ tories, and a strike at Ford will not help the other manufacturers. . . The state o f Ohio has over 87,- 000 employes. If something isn’t done, before long there won’t be anybody left to pay ’em. A WORD OR TWO China's communism is based on hatred. Nothing based on hatred lasts. . . The President's threat to cut o ff patronage to the south unless its congressmen and sena­ tors mind him is typical o f a back-woods politician.

DEVOTIONAL HEADING: I Thesis- nloniuns 3:1-11. Judgment Day Lesson for May 10, 1019 F ORTY DIFFERENT Christian denominations sponsor tills col­ umn. r.P.hcitsh it goes without say­ ing that not all of the millions of Christians in those d e n o m inations would agree point i for p o i n t with over..filing “ that is said here. Nov,* if the render could interview or.a lead- ins Bible expert from cacti of those 40 *denominations, and ark each one Dr. Foreman the same question: “ In your personal opinion, exactly what is the moaning of Marl: 13?” you might not •10 different an­ swers, but yen certainly would get more than one. There is no chapter in the Bible that has been the subject of more arguments than this one, anil no arguments have ever been more useless than these* , Leaving extreme views aside, let us try to discover some meanings which all *10 denominations would find in this chapter, some truths on which all reasonable Christians can agree. * * * A Certain Fact I N JESUS’ view one thong is cer­ tain: God’s judgment on this world and o;i all per.-nns in it. Christian chureh.es have different ideas about what happens after death. We have different ideas about how the judgment is to be carried cut, or where it will be held, or when. But that every man will have to give account of him­ self before God is something Christ­ ians believe. Your true unbeliever is not the person who goes around saying there is no God. A more subtle and dangerous form uf unbelief is in the person who takes the Christian creed upon Ids lips but lives as if the creed were a lie. He repeats the Apostles’ Creed: “From thence ho shall come to judge ti;e quick end the dead.” If thos words are sincerely kon. the believer will kc:::ei'-tly try to please God above all others. But the uubeLever, whatever his words may say, shews that he d 1 w t believe by the fact that he tries to please, first of all, cither him­ self or his family or his neighbors, and not God above all. A n Uncertain Time |T IS ONLY children who think * that if something doesn’ t hap­ pen Now, it will never happen. Now and Never are not the only times on God's clock. When will the judg­ ment be? The disciples wanted to know, but Jesus did not toll them. Ho did not claim to know, himself, when it would be (Mark 13:32.) What he did say was, Watch! There is a sense in v.bich God’ s judg­ ments are going on all the time. The end of ycur world will come in your own lifetime, v.iwc-ver you are; for there is not much differ­ ence whether the world folds up and leaves you or whether you fold up and leave the world. Death is the end of the world for every one who dies. Fur­ ther, whenever a person suf­ fers by and because of his own wrong-doing, here in this life and on tins earth, God is judg- iug him by the eternal moral laws which are the very warp and filling of the fabric of life. There is also a sense in which God judges societies and nations. We have recently seen how ter­ rible a judgment Germany drew down on its head. The nation that takes the sword shall perish by the sword. The nation that sets out to enslave others by force will come under the same death-sen­ tence that cut down Assyria and Rome and Japan and Germany. But not all God’s judgments are on this earth. “ God does not s e t t l e all his accounts in October.” There is a final accounting, and no man, in this life or any other, can escape that solemn meeting with God. * * * The On ly Judge T WO THINGS are sure. One is that the only true judge of any man is God. The man himself is partial, his friends are partial, his enemies are prejudiced against him. Further, no cue knows all the facts but God. Only God knows what a man's motives are; only God cun trace to their final e^d all the consequences that flow from a man’s act. ..(Copyright by the International Coun­ cil of Religious Education on behalf of JO Protestant denominations. Released by WNU 1’eatures, > CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes With a Buckeye hi Congress Th two weeks Floor battle in the House over the Administra­ tion-sponsored Lesinski Bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley 'Act and the old Wagner Act on the na­ tion’s status books, ended disas­ trously for President Truman and hia Congressional leadership last week. In a last minute effort to save the Lesinski Bill, Speak­ er Rayburn supported an emend- ment which would have kept in effect a number of the provisions of the present Taft-Hartley Act. This amendment lost by twenty- eight votes, following which the substitute Wood Bill, which would have retained the principal pro­ visions of the Taft-IIartlcy Act, was adopted by a fourteen-vote majority. Then, on Wednesday, the House recommitted the Bill to the Committee on Labor and Education by theedge of three votes. As a result, the Taft-Hart­ ley Act is still in effect, and Mr. Truman’s pledge to reppeal ifhas beer, rejected by the Democratic House. The Adrninistration may later offer a new labor bill much like the Taft-Hartley Act in an effort to save face. The Administration has re­ heated on another sector of the sr-called labor front. Late last week Chairman Lesinski of the House Labor Committee intro­ duced a new bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to in­ crease the minimum wage from forty cents to seventy-five cents an hour. This latest Lesinski Bill makes no attempt to extend the coverage provisions o f the Act, as provided in the original Ad­ ministration-sponsored measure. This evidently means the Tru­ man Administration has given up hope o f putting through legisla­ tion to cover workers on farms, in bn d processing plants, retail stores, service establishments, ard mall publis utilities puder the minimum wage and forty hour- week requirements. The Commission on the Organ­ ization of the Executive Branch of the Government — better known as the Hoover Commission --hold Us final business last week. The Commission will meet once more as a body — on May 2o- -to submit its final report to the President, the Vice President and the Speaker o f the House, ami to formally notify them the ( ’omm'si-iori has concluded Sts ubois. I; is now up to the Amer­ ican people, the* President, and iho Congress to decide whether the recommendations o f the Gom- n.j-,.ion which have made pos­ sible savings of three and one- lmlf biliiou dollars a year in the operation of the Government, are to be put into effect. Your report­ er v.a; the author o f the legisla­ tion creating the Commission, and has served as a member o f it. The Senate has passed and sent to t’ne House a Federal Housing Bill, providing fo r a slum clear­ ance program and the construc­ tion of eight hundred and ten tlnnt.and dwelling units at the exp* use of the last Congress, but failed in the House. Slowly the full story o f what wont mi at Teheran, Yalta, Pots­ dam, and other war-time confer­ ence ; is being unfolded. Last ivc:v. a Government witness, test­ ifying befme the House Judiciary C.immittee in favor of legislaton to increase the number o f non­ quota refugees to he admitted to tin United States, told his start­ le-.! listeners President Truman had made the promise at the Pot­ anin conference that the United th Jos would accept four hund­ red thousand additional refugees per year ah.ovo immigration quot­ as from Europe. Many o f the colleagues of Sen- arm* Baldwin of Connecticut are accusing the liberal Republican St mitor o f having “ feet o f clay” because la> acepted an appoint­ ment to the Supreme Court of Governor, Chester Bowles, form­ er OPA Administrator. Baldwin’s resignation will permit Govern­ or I-owles to appont- a Democrat in his place, with the result that control o f important Senate com- mitttes may shift so Administra­ tion can win out on a number of matters previously rejected by the Senate. Average food prices over the United States are coming down. Authoritative information made public la-t week shows the typical foml basket, which, cost $10.00 in July of 1018, costs but .$7.93 to­ day a raving o f $2.07." Another iodic ition was the Government’s annmmmnent last week that shipments of pork products over­ seas will he immediately quad- i upled in an effort to hold up sag­ ging hog prices which have drop­ ped dra Heady recently. General industrial production and busi­ ness activity continued a gradual decline through April, while un­ employment increased. The Senate, late last week, pa .< ;! and sent to the House a measure to set up a permanent program of Federal aid to States for local schools operation. To start, the Federal Government will contribute three hundred million dollars a year, according to educational needs, to the var­ ious States. Ohio’s share of the tax cost would he about $17,300,- 000 a year, of which $7,100,00 would be returned fo r use of Ohio schools. The international conferences reported last week have resulted, as we predicted, in the announce­ ment the Russian blockade of Ber­ lin will be lifted May 12, with a Four Power Conference on the German situation scheduled for late this month. Many American officials, however, still have their fingers crossed, notwithstanding this latest development in the “ cold war,” ’ The Netherlander turned out to the tur.e of ringing church bells and whistle-bkiwing to celebrate the 40th birthday o f Queen Ju­ liana. We don't do such things ? Who says we don't! Russia has a three-year plan o f stock raising. New Type Sharpener Usable hi Fields Will Sharpen Mower Blade While on Bar A new type of hay mower blade sharpener which makes it possible to sharpen the ordinary mower sec­ tion right in the field without even removing it from the cutter bar, thus saving time and labor and ■making it possible to cut more hay faster, has been placed on the mar­ ket by the New England Carbide Tool Company, Inc. The black tip of this new type mower blade sharpener Is made of carboloy cemented carbide, hardest metal commercially avail­ able. Mower blades can be sharp­ ened quickly and easily in the field with this sharpener. The sharpener consists of a steel shank one-half inch square and about 5" long, chrome plated against rust and having rounded edges so that the tool can be carried safely in the pocket. The tip which does the actual sharpening is made of ultra-hard carboloy cemented car­ bide metal, which is attached se­ curely to the steel shank. To sharpen mower blades with tins “ carbide tipped” tool, the edges of the blade to be sharpened are uncovered. The sharpener is held in the hand, palm down. The car­ boloy tip is placed on the mower blade at about a thirty-degree angle, and drawn from hack to front on the blade three or four times. This pro­ duces an extremely sharp edge. Any small burr which many develop on the blade may be removed by drawing the carbide tip across the bottom of the blade. Horses &re Dangerous Never approach a horse with­ out speaking to him. As a rule, farmers do not con­ sider horses as especially dan­ gerous animals, yet they account for more accidents of a serious hature than any other farm animal. According to the National Safety .Council, approximately three times as many accidents occur with horses as with any other farm ani­ mal. Farmers should always be cautious around these animals, the NSC continued. One phase of this precaution is a thorough check in the spring of all equipment to be used on or by horses, particularly harness. Only strong harness should be used and these should be inspected regularly and kept In good repal/. Dry leather has low tensile" strength and it should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water and treated with oil. Attention to equipment such as neck-yokes, tongues, single- trees, double-trees and eveners is also very necessary. The NSC suggests that-many seri­ ous farm accidents can be prevented by following these simple rules; Never approach a horse without speaking to him. When cleaning a stall, making no sudden movement, Enter the stall on the left side o f the horse. When driving or leading horses, never wrap the lines around body. Four placed year. thousands children are in jail illegally every Male Youngsters Drink . More Milk Than Girls Results of a recent study should be of interest to dairy farmers. The study revealed that teen-age boys drink more milk than teen­ age girls, Eating habits of school hoys and girls, 15 years of age and over, in both city and rural high schools were studied fo r three days. It was found that 39 per cent of-, the boys and only 22 per cent of the girls drank a quart a day. - Put More Opportunity in YOUR Future 1 Lowell Fess Writes from the Monday night’s session was a big one. The occasion was the mo­ tion by a representative from Cleveland to reconsider the vote by which the factory coloring of oleomargarine was defeated and leave it pending. The Speaker ruled no vote would be taken un­ til some future date. Then the representative from Seneca coun­ ty moved that the motion to re­ consider be acted upon immediat­ ely. This move set o ff parliamen­ tary fireworks to sugh a degree that the gentleman who made the motion to reconsider voted again­ st his own motion. However, his motion prevailed by a vote of 67 to 54. After this decision the vote on recohsideration came up, with the result that 76 voted against reconsideration and 47 for it. That decision leaves the Ohio law just as it has been for a number of years. Now the ques­ tion will get o ff the front page, unless those .favoring factor-col­ ored yeliow margarine nersist in obtaining enough signatures to place the question on the ballot at next fall’s election. The Tuesday session gave con­ sideration to representation Dunn’s bill forbidding employ­ ment by the state for both hus­ band and wife in a family. One amendment was made to the hill which would compel the wife to retire rather than the husband, should the bill become law. Then, as the vote was about to be re­ corded, representative Dunn, who did not comprehend the meaning of the amendment, secured the floor and requested the members to-vote against the hill. However, his bill received 88 votes, which sends it to the Senate fo r furth­ er consideration. The Ohio Senate stripped the House-approved FEPC bill of its compulsory program and siibsti- tuted an educational one. The a- mendment on the educational fea­ ture was carried by .a vote of 17 to 15. This same amendment was defeated in the House on March 23 by the close vote o f 67 to 66. The measure now returns to the House for action on the Senate amendment. The rest of the week’s legis­ lation was ‘minor, with the ex­ ception of liberalization was min­ or, with the exception of liberal­ izing the renumeratioil for mem­ bers of the Highway Patrol, which is certainly merited since they constitute one of the outstanding departments of state government. The House Committee on Com­ merce and Transportation killed the proposal for a conveyor belt overhead railroad by a vote of 12 to 4.

Cedarville, Ohio The historic "Mother Thomp­ son” home, where the temperance movement ni America was born, is to be opened during an antique show in Hillsboro next week. Lo­ cally the home is known as the “ Trimble house.” It was built in 1819 by Allen Trimble, who be­ came governor of Ohio. Allen Trimble was a Virginian by birth and the architect of the Hillsboro mansion is in the manner of the of the Virginia homesteads of that epoch. There are 12 rooms in the house, each with a fire­ place. The. kitchen has the orig­ inal crane, the pot hooks and the spit that were used in the period in-the mansion was built. GOVERNMENT SPENDING Proponents of the doctrine of spending keep pounding the idea that all that saved the country a decade ago was the immense sums, the government spent on armaments and foreign aid. They harp on our present prosperity as a proof of the sagacity o f their plan. Now they urge, even de­ mand, that government expendi­ tures he increased as the only remedy for ills that may seize us, and the only preventive of a recession. Nothing could be sillier. The whole program has been utterly false. We have noth­ ing to show for our efforts ex­ cept a huge debt, the interest on which is appalling. The govern­ ment has no money except what it exacts from the people. Why is this forgotten? AGED PHYSICIAN DIES Dr. II.
