REVIVING AN IDEA Time was when Christians did fo r themselves, asking the Lord’s help only in spiritual things. Early Americans did for them­ selves, building the world’s great­ est country on self-reliance. Now come the members o f the James­ town Pentecostal Church of Christ, reviving the idea and sett­ ing a splendid example o f ac­ complishment. They have built and furnished a new parsonage. It is modern and a very desirable home. The congregation was es­ tablished, so the Journal told_the ‘ world last week, in 1941. In eight years the church made great strides in the Christian Ameri­ can way. THIS ‘N’ THAT John Snyder, the head keeper of money, says there is no bust in sight. The trouble with John is that he keeps his nose so close to paper money signing his name that he hasn't time to go to the swimming pool. . . For weeks and weeks it just wouldn’t or couldn’t rain at Pottstown, Pa. One after­ noon the deluge came. The people were grateful, and said so. The merchants of the city ran a full page ad in the newspaper thank­ ing the Lord for the rain. Circu­ lation records always show who takes the paper! . . , Don’t get any idea that because prices for farm products have been high that when the farmer sells his produce it is all profit. Look over his feet ana machinery and la­ bor bills. NAMES IN THE NEWS Edith Entin, with her husband's consent, has gone to Spain to fight bulls, right at the time when President Truman declares he is “ bullish.” Why pay all the fare to Spain! . . . And take the case of Tom Hutchinson, or leave it as the whim hits you: Tom was’ for a long time the guv’ment’s head financial adviser. Hiss ad­ dress now is the hoosegow. Charge: Passing a bad check. . A Philadelphia Emm-Dee named Edward Corson says that wear­ ing rimless glasses tauses aan- rer and he lan prove it. And no­ body argues with a Philadelphia except a Philadelphia lawyer, and who wants to drag a lawyer into this! . . . William Hockstraw. New Jersey truck farmer, stayed home all winter while his neigh­ bors nuded it in Florida, digging water holes on his tater and corn patch, ’gainst the drought that might come the next summer. And sore enough, the drought came, and Wise Willie has been marketing prize truck at pre­ mium prices while his Florida- wintering neighbors are trying to persuade the hank to renew their otes! It's the same rule the -boy followed in Grandpa’s MeGuffey’s reader, the lad who saved' everything, and the “ ex­ cellent whipcord” he didn’t throw away helped him win the honors at archery. IN PASSING There is on the market an anti­ sunburn meter. The first week o f July would have burned its hearings out. . . The ads say a new dope is “ ten times as fast as aspirin.” The man on the radio insists that “ aspirins is ready to go work immediately. “ Ten times “ immediately” is, as James Whitcomb Riley said about chim­ ney swallows, ‘“ bout as peart as ye could ast.” . . . A headline says the Presbyterian synod is to conduct a picnic. The conductor should take a bvakeman along to handle the ants. . . . Mound dig­ gers have unearthed the jaw bone of a nine-foot man in South A f­ rica. Ducking behind the door we might comment that they knew it was a man’s jaw bone as it wasn’t still wagging. . . A count shows that the country's population is now 148,527,000. Counting the folks who are counting folks the total is perhaps 150,000,000. . . Our personal idea of heaven fs that i t ’s a place where there is no studio audiences and no stu­ dio applause. . . What makes the Hooper rating o f radio actors less effective is that he hasn’t ever asked you or me what we think. Too many other millions have not been asked either. . . One rule o f safety for- a man to observe is to pay more attention to the curves ahead than to the curves on the sidewalk. FREE REFRESHMENTS Bluefield, W. Va., the “ air- conditioned city,” has an un­ written law that free lemonade and ice ci’eam are passed out, compliments of the chamber of commerce, every time the temp­ erature goes above 90; On two successive days citizens gulped the refreshments to the point of gorging. I f we had a rule that in our town, the way July started out, we-would have to issue bonds * every week. WINGLESS CHICKENS A man. from Iowa, where some oddities come from (Mr. Henry Agard Wallace is from Iowa) has developed a strain o f chickens without, wings. Where wings ought to be are only bulges if white meat. He’s been experi­ menting fo r 10 years on produc­ ing wingless chickens. What’s go­ ing to happen to the last man in line at the church brotherhood picnic, with no wing left? Oh, yes, sure, we forget that other piece!

Hymn books are expensive, learning new hymns is a bother, choirs are a lot of trouble. Most preachers need more time for their sermons; why not cut out the music and let them have fifteen min­ utes extra? No sir; it won’ t do. Say what you please, t h e a v e r a g e church-goer knows better than that. He may never have thought it out and he might not have Dr. Foreman heard of the word “ hymnology,” but Mr. Average Churchman likes music in the church, even if he never opens his mouth himself. Liturgy S INGING in church was not in­ vented yesterday. In the Psalms, as in our own hymnals, some of the poems were originally written and intended for use in public worship. The word “ liturgy” simply means the order of manner of service, and all churches have liturgies whether they give them that name or not. Our familiar “ Holy, Holy, Holy,” was written for use in an early morning service; “ Bread of the world” was writ­ ten as: a Communion hymn; “ Break Thou the Bread of Life” while often used at Communion was no so intended, as you can tell by reading it carefully; it was meant for use just before the reading of the Scripture. “Day is Dying in the West” Is best used in an out-door service. “ Ivory Palates” was written one Sunday afternoon in North Caro­ lina for use in an evangelistic meet­ ing that night. It might interest you to leaf through your own hym­ nal and see how many hymns were written purposely for church use. Songs of the Temple T HREE liturgical Psalms are our lesson selection. Use ^your imagination when you read them. As you read Psalm 24, think of a great procession m a r c h i n g through the streets of Jerusalem on a holy day and approaching the tall temple shining on the city’ s highest hill. Singing as they climb, perhaps one part of the congrega^ tion sings the question: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place?" Perhaps another group of voices takes up the answer: “He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart. . As the great gates swing open, the chant rises: “ Lift up your heads, O ye gates!” for the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, is marching. The little kings (in Israel and over the world) have come and gone; only the Lord of Hosts Is the King of Glory. Singing the glory of God brings it before the mind far better than read­ ing about it in a book! Then the 84th Psalm is taken from what they called the “ Chief Musician’s Collection,” evidently a part of what we now would call the choir library. It is the song of a man who loves the church and loves the people whom he finds there. Psalm 95;I-7b is also obvi­ ously a song for public worship, and still is sung every morning in churches around the world. The Best is Not Too Good I F in ancient times when God’s people were learning to sing, the noblest poems of inspired men were set to the best music avail­ able and used lor the honor of God and the help of man, then surely Christians ought to do no less. If yon had a friend coming to see you, one whom you re­ spect and wish to honor; yon certainly would not set the table with all the chipped-up old kitchen china and you wouldn’t put wilted flowers on the table and you cer|iiniy wouldn’t keep the radio timed to the tln-pan- niest trash you could find on the diaL No, if you have anything for him you want it to be of the very best. Why not so with God? The house of God is no place for cheap, bad music, jingly meaningless rhymes instead of noble hymns and psalms, tiresome grind-organ tunes or jaz­ zy swing stuff instead of music that has zeal power and beauty. If non­ sense is bad in a sermon, it is worse in a prayer and worst of all in a hymn. I f mere noise is bad in a sermon, it is worse in a prayer and unbearably bad in a hymn. r (Copyright hy the International Coun­ cil of Religious Education on behalf of 10 Protestant denominations.

BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Gon.crrsss The Senate devoted last week to debating the ratification o f the North Atlantic Defense Pact, which seems certain of approval. Soon after the Pact is ratified the President is expected to re­ quest an appropriation of one and a half, billion dollars to supply arms and munitions to the friend­ ly nations o f Western Europe. The House, last Thursday ap­ proved legislation legalizing the business practice o f pricing basic commodities f. o, b. the point of delivery. A recent Suurome Court decision seemingly interpreted present laws to reciuiye all sales of goods f. o. b. point of manu­ facture with purchasers assimilat­ ing freight charges. The steel, iron and cement industries espec­ ially, have long had “Doint of de­ livery” prices for various sec­ tions of the country, with the re­ sult that processors and fabrica­ tors of theese basic commodities have often located at a distance from their point of supply, and are still able to compete for na­ tional markets. According to official figures, the price index of food last week dropped to exactly the same av­ erage figure as pertained on the last day under OPA regulations. Inasmuch as it was then often neceedsary to pav the higher black market prices to get many foods this means today’s food prices are actually lower than under OPA. The natural law of supply and demand is working again. While the Ways and Means Committee of the House is ex­ pected to favorably report legis­ lation making many changes in present Social Security laws, tax ratees and benefits, there is no likelihood it can or will be con­ sidered by both the House and Senate at this session o f the Con­ gress. Final action on this Social Security legislation will undoubt­ edly have to wait until the 1950 session. Congressional offices are being flooded with calls from individ­ ual farmers, farm organizations, and elevator operators fo r help in finding storage room for the present wheat crop. A great por­ tion o f the nation’s elevators and wheat storage facilities are still filled with grain from last year's crop which is either under Gov­ ernment loan or Government ownership. Secretary o f Agricul­ ture Branruyi is expected to soon order acreage restrictions for the 1950 wheat crop. President Truman and his ad­ visors estimated -the Treasury deficit for the fiscal year which ended on last June 30th would bo $600 million. The actual deficit fo r the year, as announced by Secretary o f the Treasury Snyder was $1 billion 811 million, or over three times more than the President estimated. Unless dras­ tic action is taken to get real economy in the Government, the deficit for the present fiscal year is expected to run somewhere be­ tween 5 and 10 billion dollars. In the pre-war year of 1940 di­ rect Federal taxes amounted to $5 billion 600 million, while state and local taxes totaled $8 billion 700 million. In the fiscal year pust closed direct Federal taxes amounted to $39 billion 100 mil­ lion, and State and local taxes $14 hillion 500 million—really a sizeable increase. Including So­ cial Security taxes and other Fed­ eral levies, the total “ take” o f the Federal Government last year from the Americrm people was approximately 48 billion dollars. Both Great Britain and France are facing an economic crisis, and British and French officials are inisting the only answer is large new loans or heavily increased grants under the Marshall Plan from the United States. Requests are now being1made by European nations that the Economic Recov­ ery Program, financed by the United States, be extended he; yond 1952—the year originally set fo r its ending. Democratic House Leader Mc­ Cormack has publicly stated there will be no tax increase legisla­ tion this year. In a press inter­ view last week President Truman indicated he still favored increas­ ing Federal taxes by at least 4 hillion dollars, but that he did not expect such action at this session of Congress. A Senate Committee has recommended pres­ ent war-time excise taxes be re­ duced, while Republican House Leader Martin has filed a dis­ charge petition to force a vote on his bill to put Federal excise tax­ es back to peace-time rates of pre-war years. It now appears practically cer­ tain the Taft-IIartley Act will remain the labor law of the.land until at least next year, and prob­ ably much longer. While the Sen­ ate has passed a bill which would change the name of the Taft- Hartley Act, a n d otherwise slightly amend it, there is little indication it will be approved or even considered in the House. However, if the Senate bill should be approved by the House, the President, who has been demand­ ing outright repeal o f the Taft- Hartley Act, "will undoubtedly ve­ to it, thus leaving the old Taft- Hartley Act on the statute boobs, making it an issue in the 1950 campaign. Federal credit controls over in­ stallment buying expired at mid­ night June 30th,. inasmuch as Congress refused to extend the wqy-time credit control law. Most business concerns are proceeding to extend installment plan credits The -Cedarville, O, Herald’ Pig Brooders Used To Protect Litter / r 9? Hre Found Valuable fit Farrowing Time “ This little pig went to market" . . . is a great first line for a nursery rhyme. But it doesn’t go far enough as far as farmers are concerned. They’ d rather wait un­ til the pig grows up before sending it to market. And the growing-up process is no snap, especially dur­ ing the first few weeks when the old sow may crush her precious off-spring as they crowd around her in an effort to keep warm. The problem of getting hogs to Here is shown a pig brooder in operation. Ofttimes some form of supplementary heat is necessary to prevent a high mortality rate among pigs. Pig brooders such as this have been developed for this purpose. market starts at farrowing time. In the spring some form of supple­ mentary heat is needed to prevent a high mortality rate. Pig brood­ ers have been developed for this purpose. Their use will save an average of one and a half, pigs per litter, according to Purdue univer­ sity. Brooders are easy to build and economical to operate. Generally, they are constructed by boarding off a corner uf the farrowing pen to a height of about 16 inches. A roof is placed over this rectangular enclosure and a board nailed across the front opening about 8 inches above the floor. Heat is provided by a 150 to 300-watt lamp, the size depending on weather conditions. A hole is cut in the top, and the lamp placed in a suitable reflector which is bolted securely over the opening. Pig brooders consume an average of 36 kilowatt hours of power per litter. Meat Income High 764 FEED /CROPS 3 K+'S' j * FOOD GRAINS ■ Almost one-third of the' Ameri- carnfarmer’s total cash income last year came from the sale of meat animals, according to the chart above prepared by the American Meat Institute from U.S. depart­ ment of agriculture figures. ■ The value of meat animals was more than nine and one-half billion dollars. Total cash receipts from all crops, ’ including government pay­ ments, approached 31 and one- third billion dollars. From their cash income, farm­ ers and ranchers paid out large amounts for stock, feed, labor and other operating costs. Milk By-Products Hold Infant Food Source An infant food made from edible by-products of milk may soon open a new market for dairymen in tests now going on in Mexico continue to show favorable -results. This is the conclusion, drawn by Dr. Har­ old Macy of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Macy and Irvine McQuarrie, pediatrics head at the university, have visited Mexico where they conferred with leading pediatric­ ians on the tests. The new baby food will offer opportunities for use in many coun­ tries if future experiments prove satisfactory. Calf Which ’Sits Down' Interests Veterinarians Cattle don’t sit down ordinarily, so it was news when the American Veterinary association expressed professional interest in the strange case of a Hereford calf on a 'farm in Tennessee. The AMV journal said the Tennessee calf often sits on the ground with her hind legs sprawled forward. . The calf usually lies down again before trying to rise to all four feet, the journal reported. FISHING immediate attention. Approval and the Governor’s signature would have released the money this week for the state to pay its bills as ipending money ran out June 30th. However,* represent­ atives had a different idea, and passed a $5,700,000 appropriation to pay July old age pensions were held up this month fo r lack of funds. These matters will be ironed out next week. . . -The Senate Rules Committee decided to quit work July 15th, in the twenty-eighth week of the session, and adjourn •sine die on July 27th. House concurrence is needed. You will recall that the House of Representatives pre­ viously tried for a final adjourn­ ment fo r June 20th. but the Sen­ ate would not go along. Textbook writers on political science draw a distinction between two kinds- of political organiza­ tion and activity - partisan poli­ tics and pressure politics. The partisan variety is the concern mostly o f the office holders and professional politicians whose principal aim is to win elections and provide public jobs for party workers. Pressure politics is the field o f groups in the population who seek to use the professionals* in developing governmental pol­ icies that will promote their spec­ ial group imersts.

M„ due to the fact that Monday was the Fourth of July. The heat and lack of good ventilation made the House Chamber almost un­ bearable. The committee rooms, especially those without .windows, were beyond description for * warmth and humidity. As we drew near the end of this legislative session, much time is taken up in the consider­ ation of Senate amendments to legislation which has already passed the House. Some of these amendments are trivial, such as adding the name of a Senator as a sponsor, but regardless, all changes must be accepted by a vote o f the House. If no member objects, the agreement is by a voice vote, which is much simpler than by a roll call vote. On Tuesday we passed a bill which had been concurred in by the Senate, concerning the rais­ ing of standards of requirements before one can become a cosmetol- *ogist. This hill will naturally in­ crease the cost to the members of the profession, but the hoped-for, improvements in the service should be sufficient to compen­ sate the customers for any in-1 creased charges. At any rate, I was one of the eighty who voted. for it. j Another measure which had . already passed the Senate, pro- J vided for a\raise in the per- diem 1 pay allowed hospitals, from $6.00 to $10.00 per day for hospitaliza- j tion of indigents injured in auto accidents. This cost is supported by a part of .the license tax oh autos. It passed by unanimous vote. | Another House bill authorizing a large commission to study and bring in a report on reorganiza­ tion of school districts was passed by a vote of 91-11. On Wednesday we passed, by a vote of 99-23. and sent to the Senate the administration $99,- 000,000 capital improvement hill. appropriated by the last Legis­ lature for various building activi­ ties but not spent. It now is be­ ing re-appropriated for the same purposes for which it originally was set aside. Many attempts were made to amend the bill on the floor, hut only one .amend­ ment was accepted. It struck from the bill a provision inserted by the Finance Committee that the $5,000,000 allotment for the 'new schools for the deaf and blind could not be used to build the schools on the site of the Wyandot Golf Course just north of Columbus. On a strictly party vote 63 to G1 the Democratic majority was able to heat down an amendment offered by the Republicans which would have tied up all the money carried by the capital improve­ ments hill and that of the “ sur­ plus reserve fund,” and thus have used to pay current operating ex­ penses. The House killed, through in- prevented any part of it being definite postponement, a hill to permit the use of reflectors by disabled trucks on the highways. The Senate voted“to allot money for poor-relief and state opera­ tions bpt the House blocked im­ mediate enactment. One bill carried $62,000,000 to run the state in July-August while the $650,000,000 bienial budget is under study. The other provided $2,000,000 for the state to match increased poor relief payments for the first half year when the payments fell behind.
