Editorial A WORD OM COMMENT Again our town lias pro\eci that yon don’t have to take a long trip on perilous highways to enjoy a holiday. We should con­ gratulate ourselves on out old- fashioned F o u r t h enjoyed by ourselves. - . It took a lot o f gasoline to subdue the dictators, but what we used “ over the Fourth would have licked the solar system! . . . A profes­ sor came among us last week to talk about health. That’s one thing nobody can do much abou- except the individual. Alt o f us should know what do do to keep fit, but doing it remains a per­ sonal job. Being made conscious o f the significant fact that health is more important than wealth helps. GYPSTERS Every day there is a new scheme somebody has hatched out to file]? money out of folks. Smoothies who talk gilby make a good case out o f their swindles. People forget that experts don’ t have to peddle their wares or talents. Paths are beaten to the doors of the better mousetrap builders. House-to-house canvas­ sers are usually pests. Our town, thought it is small, has a number o f people who are trained to serve the rest of us, or who car­ ry merchandise that fills our needs. We don’t need to pamper* peddlers. It’s too costly. ANOTHER HELPER We have boasted, with bolst­ ering o f fact, that ofir columns carry the best information about the doings o f the legislature and congress that can be published. Our servants in the house—Brown at Washington and Fess at Col­ umbus—keep us all in touch with the work o f both bodies. Now comes Senator Robert A. Taft with the offer o f a column from Washington for papers like ours. This is not the first time we have been happy that we have a small-town * newspaper, pub­ lished once a week. But as the Senate’s wisest man, admitedly the wisest man by unanimous v o t e 'o f the newspaper corres­ pondents in Washington, offers to write a column for us, we are delighted. AMONG OURSELVES Theye was a time when parents worried about what to do with the children in the summer time when school was out. That was before the days of the 4-H, the Scouts, the FFA and supervised playgrounds. Now-a-days child­ ren keep busy, profitably, as well in vacation as in school. . . Speaking o f 4-H clubs—our Greene county clubs are to be hosts to their neighboring 4-H- ers from Clinton and Fayette on a dairy-judging tour July 8, Touring Greene county will he a treat for the boys and girls from across the borders; they will get to see how' dairying is really done! What tales they will have to tell their papas and mamas when they get back hame^rbout the fine herds o f Holstein, Jer­ sey, Guernsey and Ayrshire cat­ tle they saw, and the fine barns! July 6 it will he our kids turn to go to Fayette county to help do some judging.No grander job o f farmer-training could possibly be done than this. . . . Com­ bines have combed our amber fields of grain, inviting young grass to peep out happily at pass- ersby. The co-operation o f man and nature can work wonders. . . Amazing machines can be seen in Greene County fields—one op­ eration balers, combines, culti­ vators, A farmer does in an hour what used to take the neighbor­ hood a week to do.

Marching Songs Lesson for July 10, 1949 Dr. Foreman W E did not win all the battles we fought with Japan. The day of a certain naval defeat near the Philippines, an American “ baby’ ’ carrier, left to its fate, was doing its best to get away from the pursuing Japanese. All af­ ternoon it; dodged and twisted. Ene- 'my destroyers; and planes were hot on its trail, and it •was a “ sitting duck” in case they really g o t the range. No one on board expected to live. The only question in any­ body’ s mind was: How soon will they get us? But late in the after­ noon, for some reason never ex­ plained, the enemy gave up the chase, and the American ship slipped off into the protecting night. The next day, as the men gathered for a special service of thanksgiving, the chaplain read the 124th Psalm. It came as a new Psalm altogether to those men, even to those who had known it by heart: “ If it had not; been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the . . . proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.” • 9 * “ Let Me Write A Nation’s, Songs” > T HE POWER to thrill has not been lost by the Psalms, as the men on that carrier found out. The group numbered 120 through 134 in our Bibles are known as- the “ Pil­ grim Marching Songs,” and were originally used by the Hebrews as they went year by year up to their capital city of Jerusalem and to the Temple which was the center of their religion. Then as now, the Hebrews were a singing people. A nation that cannot sing, a nation without songs, is a dismal country indeed. Difference among various countries is symbolized by their songs, or the lack of them. The Chinese, for instance, have no song that draws them all together in the same way that Englishmen are united in “ God Save the King” or as French­ men once were by the “ Mar­ seillaise.” When it comes to pass, as once it did in the United States, that one part of the nation will sing one song (say, “ John Brown’ s Body” ) while another part will not sing that song but another one (say, “ Dixie,” ), then civil war is at the gates. Only people who will sing together can be trusted to live together • *. • Singing Church I N the long caravans, marching up the rocky hillside trails to Je­ rusalem, the ancient Hebrews put their faith into .stirring words set to music. So it is always. All over the Christian world, wherever and whenever the singing is good, re­ ligion is warm and vigorous. Where the heart is full, there ■will be song. Revivals of re­ ligion are revivals of singing. To this day a stranger in a t strange city, looking for a church home, is most likely to settle down in the church where the singing is the best. ’ It is not an accident, that the Moravian church is at the same time the church that makes more o f Easter than some other churches, it is; the church where at funerals the music is never sad hut joyous, not mourning-songs but triumphant hymns of Christian faith. * • * Patriotism and Religion B EAD these marching Psalms through—the reading time Is only a few minutes—and see for yourseJ how the ancient Hebrew men of God united their praise of Him with love for their country. To this day, in our Christian hym­ nals, patriotism and religion are often combined. The English na­ tional anthem, “ God Save the King,” is a prayer; so is “ America the Beautiful.” National hymns have a rightful place in a book of public worship. For while patriot­ ism, by itself, is a poor substitute for religion, still a man who will not love his country lacks some­ thing of being a good Christian, and on the other hand a man without faith in God makes a very poor ’citizen. t (Copyright by the International Council oIReHgioua Education on behalf oi 10 Protestant denominations.

BROWN Writea With a Buckeye In Con erress A group o f left-wing Repre­ sentatives and Senators have in­ troduced bills in the Congress said to be drawn by Leon Key- serling, radical New Deal mem­ ber of the "President’s Board o f Economic Advisors, to spend some 15 billion dollars on pump­ priming projects to meet the growing recession. Confidants o f the President, however, insist he is not ready to agree any such increased spending program is yet necessary. , President Truman is expected to decide within the next few days whether he will submit to the Congress a request fo r military aid to Western Europe, schedul­ ed to cost 1.5 billion dollars per year, at this session of Congress or wait until next January. Some fear early submission o f Europ­ ean military aid request would injure chances o f early .Senate ratification o f tha North Atlan­ tic Defense Pact. Great Britian is facing such a great economic crisis that con­ trol of the dominant Labor Party over British Government is threatened and devaluation o f the British pound sterling soon seems probable. Rumor has it that the British would like anoth­ er loan from America, but Con­ gress is exceptionally cool to this to show, coming loans to foreign idea. Conditions attached to the original British Loan were not lived up to, and with the bottom of America's barrell beginning governments, which will never be repaid, are losing their attract­ iveness. In the first 152 years of our Government’s history—from the time George Washington was in­ augurated in 1789 until 1940 when World War Two was on the horizon, the U n i t e d S t a t e s Government spent 167 billion dollars. In the last four peace­ time fiscal years_1946, 1947, 19- 48 and 1949—the Federal Gov­ ernment has spent 177 billions dollars, or 10 billion more than in the first 152 ye..rs o f the gov- in the coming fiscal year will be at the rate o f a little over 3.5 bil­ lion dollars a month, with the Government’s income from tax revenues expected to be only 3 billion dollars a month. 4£he joint Congressional com­ mittee investigation o f the A t­ omic Energy Commission has re­ vealed such unprecedented waste and extravagance In that agency that Congress is expected to re­ quire complete budget conti'oll of all Atomic Energy Commis­ sion the investigation does has sufficient atom bombs now strongly suggest that America ready to fight a major war or to meet any other emergency—which means two or three hundred at­ om bombs in storage and a pro- ruction capacity o f four or five hundred additional a year in case of need. A group o f Congressmen prin­ cipally veterans, is endeavoring to learn why the Truman Admin­ istration is delaying reimburs­ ing World War Two veterans for insurance overcharges. These overcharges totalling 2 billion 800 million dollars were ordered repaid to sixteen million vet­ erans pf World War Two by the 80th Congress. The average ov­ ercharge refund will amount to about 175 dollars, with many o f the checksmuch larger and others smaller. Some legislators charge the Administration is delaying payment o f these refunds until 1950 for political purposes. It is hard to understand why it re­ quires more than two years to start mailing out the applica­ tions blanks and refund checks to veterans, many of whom are now unemployed. A House subcommittee, which has been investigating complaints against the way post exchanges and ships stores on military bases have been operated, is ex­ pected to recommend drastic changes in their methods. The Committee will criticize the sale of luxuries to military personnel at less than actual cost to the Government, and will insist that “ on post” _sales he subject to regular Federal excise and State and local taxes. Congress is expected to give rather careful scrutiny to the President’s proposal fo r the leg­ islation to have the Federal Government insure American business investments abroad and also spend nearly 50 billion dol­ lars on a program o f U. S. aid to foreign nations fo r extending their productive capacity, as sug­ gested in the President's inaug­ ural address. The so-called Brannan Plan to pay high prices to the farmer for his products and, in turn, to sell them to the city consumer at whatever the market will bring may soon get a try-out on a few farm commodities i f the Admin­ istration -has its way. Last week the House - Committee on Agri­ culture reported a bill which, if enacted, would put the Brannan Plan into effect on hogs. One of the largest crops o f piys on rec­ ord is scheduled to come to the market in the autumn, and Sec­ retary Brannan wants the right to pay the farmer the difference between the actual retail prices pork will bring and the present support price for hogs—thus per­ mitting the consumer to buy liis meat at low prices, while- the farmer continues to get the high support price fo r his hogs, as guaranteed by the Government. By the narrow margin o f just five votes—209 to 205— the House last Wednesday rejected an amendment which would have eliminated the public housing sec- tipn o f the Administration’s Pub­ lic Housing Bill and left only the • slum clearance and veterans’ previously approved by the Sen­ ate, will embark the Federal loan sections.

CLOAK AND DAGGER DRAMA New Plastic Foam Used in Insulation Material Is Called lightest of Solids The world’s lightest solid an amazing plastic foam that swells up when baked like a cake to 100 times its original volume—has been developed by Westinghouse scien­ tist for use as a new insulating ma­ terial. The new product is expected to find its way into many uses in ap­ pliances used in farm homes and about the farm. Even lighter than some gases, the' new material weighs from 10 to 20 times less than the fluffy meringue on a well-baked pie. Robert F. Sterling, 29-year-old ‘ chemist, and the man chiefly re-' Cover Thai Cough “ Cover that cough, smother that sneeze” is not only good advice for people in public places. It has prac­ tical meaning in the cowbarn, too. Danger that coughing cattle may spread respiratory infections to their stablemates is highlighted in a research report from the Ameri­ can Veterinary Medical associa­ tion. The report describes an unusual case of tuberculosis of the eye in a heifer. A tuberculosis cow with a bad cough, stanchioned next to the heifer, is believed to have spread the disease. ■ AVMA points out that this case occurred in England, where bovine tuberculosis is widespread. Al­ though tuberculosis has been re­ duced to a minimum in United States herds, coughers and sneezers are nevertheless a menace because they may spread all kinds of res­ piratory infections. Isolation of any animal showing respiratory symp­ toms i3 urged, therefore, to protect the rest of the herd. Field Mice Destructive To Melon Crops, Seed Untold damage is done each year to cucumber, cantaloupe and water­ melon fields by mice destroying the seed which are planted and al­ so the plauts which are up. and bearing fruit. H. A. Bowers, Clem- son college crop specialist, says. Bowers explained that the mea­ dow mouse destroys the Beed after they are planted, and the pine ^mouse cuts off the plants at the ground. Shown here is a refrigerator completely insulated with the new plastic-foam insulation material. This is the way the refrigerator looked after the. insulation job was done, but before door liner and other parts were put back in place, sponsible for the new product, said •it is the result of a three-year search for ah effective insulating material that will fill large areas, yet weigh “next to nothing." The foam is made by heating a molasses-like synthetic resin at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until it expands to 100 times its original volume, then solidifies. Thousand^ of gas bubbles entrapped in the foam “ buoy” it up and give the plastic its lightness. Foamed into pre-fabricated metal wall sections, a two-inch thick lay­ er weighing only 300 pounds would be enough to insulate a complete six-room house, Sterling said. Resistant to fire, moisture, fun­ gus growth and insects, the foam is low enough in cost to be practical for many applications and uses, the scientist said. Not only do imprisoned air bub? bles give the new plastic great lightness, but they also provide it with its excellent insulating quali­ ties. So-called “ dead air" is one ot the best insulators known among commonly available materials, Sterling said. Lowell Fess Writes from the Legislature This has been rather a hectic week. After passing three bills Monday night, one of which pro­ posed to help disabled persons suffering from disability as a result of war service to obtain employment, and the other two aiding handicapped children, either physically or mentally, to obtain school opportunities, we took up the.consideration of leg­ islation pertaining to the state employees’ right to strike You will recall that very early in the session we had passed by a three- vote margin a hill to repeal the Ferguson law which had been en­ acted in 1947, which forbade strikes by government employees. On that date, February 8, there were four .Democratic members who had voted for this repealer on the implied promise that con­ sideration would be givc-n them to perfect new legislation cover­ ing the. same subject by the House. This they did in proposing H. B. 418, which was introduced and given to the Labor Commit­ tee on February 16. Since the ornble for the repeal, their de- Labor Committee has been fav- laying tactics bottled up the ori­ ginal bill until June 14, at which time, under threat to have the bill taken away from them 'by •House action, thev reported out a Substitute H. B. 418. This bill did not meet with the approval of the four members whose votes had put over the repealer. Naturally, when this came up for action as the substitute bill, the four mem­ bers moved to substitute an a- mendment which restored their idea in its original form. Since the Republicans had generally opposed the strike rep.ealer, a fight developed among the Demo­ crats along conservative and radi­ cal lines. A motion to table the bill was lost, but on the next motion to .substitute, enough changed over to defeat it, after which the hill itself was defeated. Since the Senate has never acted on the repealer, the odds are in -favor of the Ferguson hill r e - ; maining on.the statute books with no further action in this Assem­ bly. The first hill on Tuesday’s cal­ endar was calling for a commis­ sion of eleven persons to recom­ mend a uniform budding code for the state. This carried an ap­ propriation o f $50,000, and since it is very questionable whether it is possible to accomplish this next Assembly would have to act purpose, and furthermore the on any recommendations made, 35 of us voted no, hut 73 were in favor, so the bill passed, and we will probably have the commis­ sion if the Senate approves. The other most important leg­ islation on Tuesday related to ex­ cessive weight on trucks. This flouting of. the by truckers, although it is generally admitted that 90% of the truckers obey the law, has and is resulting in the breaking down of our roads. Since this bill has already pas.sed the Senate, I assume the Gover­ nor will sign it, and the result should be less chuck holes in our highways. The Wednesday session lasted from 1:30 P. M. tp 7:00 P. M., culminating in a partisan fight over the reconsideration of a bill defeated on Tuesday which would given State. Auditor Ferguson an opportunity'to hire more employ­ ees as pre-audit inspectors for the handling of poor relief ex­ penditures. After much prelimi­ nary sharp-shooting, the majority party succeeded in getting in a position to move for reconsider­ ation. As the matter stands now, there is a motion to* reconsider left pending, and in all probabil­ ity it will be taken up next week. The bill to re-elassify all state jobs and make wage odjustmepts totaling almost $5+000,Q00 a year was passed by a vote of 123 .to 2, H F L O A O M ' R A E M N S S S Claibourne-McDermott Co.
