The Cedarvilie Herald A Republican Newspaper Published Every Friday by THURMAN MILLER. JR. Entered as second class matter October 31, 1887 at the Postof- Sce at Cedarvilie, Ohio, under A ct o f Congress o f March 1879.

Our repre­ sentatives in our representative government approved the Atlan­ tic Pact. It pledges us to go the instant help o f any nation in the alliance attacked by another na­ tion, We will be expected to fur­ nish most o f the men and perhaps all of the money. Nobody else has any. While the Atlantic Pact is a direct violation o f General Washington’s advice against “ en­ tangling alliances” the Atlantic ocean is just about one-one-hun- dreth as wide as it was in his time. That we had to do such a thing is regretful. That we must make the most o f it, advisable. END OF THE EARTH Down in New York where they have almost everything from queer people to queerer ideas,, there is an institution that charts the behavior of the solar system. They tell us now that the end of the earth could happen in any one o f five ways, one o f which is the explosion of the sun .. . and some days this summer it has been hot enough for it to do just that! The astronomers give us a little time on it, though: They say the sun may not go blooey fo r perhaps a few billion years, and that will give us time to finish the game of bridge and pav a few more taxes. IN PASSING A cleaner found a $100 bill in President Truman’s pocket. No wonder they were trying to take pictures of him in his bathing suit! . . Jimmy Durante doesn’t want Frank Sinatra on his radio program. A nose to talk-about, is enough, without having one to sing through! . . . Soapmen P&G got an estimated million dollars’ worth o f advertising over Tal­ lulah Bankhead’s suit against them. But wouldn’t you t h i n k having a name like Tallulah would be enough trouble without - having to sue somebody about it! . . . Texas oilman Glenn Mc­ Carthy spent $20,000,000 »on his new Shamrock hotel in Houston. For twice that he could have re- whitewashed the White House. GET YOUR SHARE? Are you a “ median?” (Middle-sized, that is.) I f you are, please look in your pocket and on the dining-room table and in the top drawer and see if you have your $3,320 that is your share o f the income for 1948. According to figures from Washington, where figures are incubated, the “ median” Ameri­ can received $3,320 last year, or a bit over $60 a week. We are not being nosy, but we just wondered i f you still have yours? JUST LIKE DARWIN SAID! A big cargo plane landed in New York the other day, and it took all the land crews several hours to unload the cargo—300 monkeys. Enroufe the playful monkeys got out o f the confines, somehow, and proceeded to have fo r themselves a time! But it’s been done before, you know! WHO’D DARE TO USE IT? You can buy a brand-new weatherpredicting device. It hauls o ff and says right there on the dial what kind o f weather it’s going to be tonight and tomor­ row. But who’d have the nerve to go up and down the street show­ ing it to folks these days? A POME The lightning hug is a funny kind He travels with his head-lights behind. WANT TO ARGUE? Age, after all, is when it seems That regrets lake the place of dreams. TEACHERS’ WAGES Students o f the wage 3itua-- tion with teachers suggest equal pay fo r teachers in the grades as in the high school. Nobody can argue that teaching is less •im­ portant in the grades, nor that teachers need less preparation or work less hard. What would you think about that? Your opinion, we gather from hearing you talk about other thiiigs, is p re tty ' important.

Lesson for August 7, 1949 W HILE the little children ore thanking God for birds and bees and oatmeal, let us grown people rise and offer some adult t h a n k s g 1v ings. ... ........... Reading the Psalms ^ of praise which are this week before us, we get the impres- ■ sion that t h e s e poets were grateful; above all not for i anything God had ; given but for God | himself. Thank God 1 for God! s i n g s: Dr. Foreman through every line. Suppose there were no God? He is the Creator of all; without him nothing else can be. The nature of time and space, of molecule and atom and electron, the mighty power that holds all together; the emergence of life, of mind, the possibility of thought, of values, whatever is and whatever can be. is because he wills it so. That there is energy in the atom, light in the sun, refreshment in the rain and power In the lightning—that these things can be and that any­ thing can be, we thank the God. • ■ * • No Unrighteousness in Him OUPFOSE God were not good? A vast and vicious devil, his im­ mense mind brimming with intel­ ligence and malice, could perhaps have contrived a universe more enormous than tills comer of one which is known to us. A creative devil—what pangs he could have invented to torture his creatures! It may be, indeed, that’ only on this earthyis there rebellion against the Creator, and that elsewhere in God’s dominions all is peace. But suppose it were true that all the evil in the world was ordained by some Creative Haired?—all the good­ ness In -the world only an il­ lusion, a deception? Suppose it were the intent of some devilish maker of man fin­ ally to destroy all his creatures, or worse still, to make every creature long bitterly for death but find none? Let us thank Gcd for God: the God of mercy whose loving kindness endureth forever. * • * H e Knoweth Our Frame L ET us thank God for his provi­ dence. He did not create and then forget us, nor give us so much freedom that we could destroy his majesty or bring to naught his mighty plan. Let us thank God for liis infinite love and interest that spares and speeds us, his knowl­ edge of our frame, his remember­ ing even the hairs upon our heads. Let: us thank God that being infinite he can have a care for the infini­ tesimal, and that not a sparrow falls to the ground without our heavenly Father. Let us thank God whose care for us is such that with­ out his knowledge not the least of his creatures can fall asleep. From death and disaster we and the nation and the world have been saved, time and again. Frail is the craft In which the human spirit is launched through this pathless universe; yet: it holds, and will hold, because the universe is there by his almighty decree. In spite of the chaos of men’ s unruly wills, in spite of we know not what rebellions in the spirit world, he sees to it that not one good is ever wholly lost •" * * Who Kedcemelh Thy L ife L ET US PRAISE God for his promise and for his faithful­ ness. That he has not left us to our sins nor given us up though long we scorned him; that his divine patience outlasts the hasty heart; that he spared not his own Son but freely gave him for our sakes; that none who come to him will be cast out; that the God who creates is the God who redeems, we praise . him from a heart of love. As the Psalmist of old, knew himself as- one of the children of the Covenant, so may every man who takes God’s promises and makes them his heart’s own. .To take this G»d for my God —this Is the beginning and the end of religion. To step oat on his promises as an a bridge that stands seenrte above ail the floods of eternity. To tru3t in his faithfulness though all the race of man were liars; to look down the vista o f the years without fear, knowing that the God o f our fathers wOl be the God of each succeeding race, that his mercy-is everlasting to everlasting and that his kingdom ruleth over all—this is to know him, and this is life eternal. Thank Gcd for Godl 10 Protestant denominations. Released ttr WNU Footers*.__________ CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Cm<rress After two days of hectic parli- mentary maneuvering by the Southern bloc to prevent a vote, the House last, Wednesday, for the fifth time in ten years, p.assed a bill outlawing poll taxes, the firgt legislative action taken on any portion of the President’s proposed civil rights program. In the past all such House- approved anti-poll tax measures have failed to; reach a vote in the Senate, and thei*e is little likelihood that Senate action will be taken on this latest bill. The Legislative Reorganiza­ tion Act of JL94G requires Con­ gress to adjourn not later than July 31 of each year, unless “ the nation is at war, a national emer­ gency exists, or Congress by prop­ er legislation extends the ses­ sion” . La$t week Speaker Ray­ burn ruled the United States is still at war; that a national emer­ gency still exists; and that, there­ fore, Congress will remain in ses­ sion after July 31, notwithstand­ ing provisions of the Reorganiza­ tion Act. As a result, it appears Congress may continue in ses­ sion fo r weeljs to come, with the legality o f any legislation enacted after August 1 undoubtedly- to be questioned in the courts. The House has little important legis­ lative work to do. The Senate, however, is behind its schedule. The President seems determined to enforce on his “ Fair Deal” leg­ islative program even though the Congress does not agree on its value or wisdom. The national legislators want to adjourn and go home, and the American people seem to want relief from legisla­ tive enactments. For the past three weeks Wash­ ington has been proving it has the worst climate in America. Day temperatures have averaged well above 95; night temperatures have stayed in the high 70’s and 80’s, with the humidity from 60 to 90 percent. Each day many thousands o f Government work­ ers have been relieved from duty because of the heat, but the na­ tion's Ijgislators and their staffs continue to average 12 to 14 hours on the job each day. The- House has before it, at the request o f the President a bill to give to Southern Korea—popu­ lation 21 million—150 million dol­ lars the next year in American economic aid. The President’s billion and a half world-wide mili­ tary aid bill also contains an item o f 20 million dollars for South Korea. All this despite tiie fact that American troops have been withdrawn from South Ko­ rea, and our defense experts ad­ vise that area is o f no military value to us and is so geographic­ ally located that it cotild not possibly be defended. The Presi­ dent’s request for an appropria­ tion o f one billion 450 million dollars to be used as he sees fit, without limitation, to furnish military aid to foreign nations, has encountered heavy going in the Congress, as has the.Korean measure. President Truman has sent word to the Congress, through the Sec­ retary of State, that he agrees secret atomic energy information connot and should not be given to other nations without the con­ sent of Congress. This undoubt­ edly means the British and Cana­ dian requests fo r our atomic bomb secrets will be turned down, fo r Congress is certainly opposed to permitting any foreign country to have them. Last week the House passed a bill to continue fo r another year contributions in the amount of 7.5 million dolloars to the support o f local schools near Federal in­ stallations, where Government ownership of property has re­ duced the local tax income for school purposes, while the heavy influx of government workers has greatly increased school enroll­ ment. The Administration-sponsored Federal Aid-to-Education legisla­ tion, which passed the Senate several months ago, will not be brought to a vote in the House at this session o f Congress. The pending Federal educational aid measures have all-become so in­ volved in controversy that any given lull brought to a vote would undoubtedly be defeated. For the second time the Con­ gress has been compelled to pass a “ continuing resolution" to sup­ ply funds for the operation of some o f our Government depart­ ments. The reason: Five depart­ mental appropriation bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1 have not yet cleared the Con­ gress. /.II five have been approv­ ed by the House but are still waiting action in the Senate. So to keep the Government func­ tioning, Congress must author­ ize temporary funds each month for departmental operations. Late last week President Tru­ man announced he had offered Attorney General Tom Clark the appointment as Supreme Court Justice to succeed the late Frhnk -Murphy and Senator Howard Mc­ Grath o f Rhode Island, also Demo­ cratic National Committee Chair­ man, the appointment as Attor­ ney General to succeed Clai-k. It is understood Clark has agreed to accept the Supreme C o u r t post, but that McGrath has not yet decided whether he will leave thp Senate for the Cabinet posi­ tion. • f k U L l t t K I HE’S JUST WAITING A worker who refuses to ac­ cept woi-k fo r which he is reason­ ably fitted because he expects to return to a previous job from which he has been temporarily laid o ff is not eligible for unem­ ployment benefits, the unemploy­ ment compensation board o f re­ view has ruled.

Those Greener Pastures VACATION FORWHOM? , Milk House Heaters Solve Farm Problem Easily Attached to Walls in Winter Time - Nobody enjoys working in a cold milk house. But until very recently, farmers could do little about It—ex­ cept, perhaps, add another layer to their already uncomfortably bulky clothing. Experiments conducted in the last two or three years, however, have helped solve the milk house heating problem. One type of equipment, de­ veloped as a direct result of such agricultural engineering experi­ ments, is shown in the accompany­ ing illustration. It is a 3000 watt, 240 volt, thermostatically controlled electric space heater. Easily at­ tached to the milk house wall, it is five feet high a'nd produces a tem­ perature range of between 40 and 80 degrees. Other new developments along this line include the like of small hot wa­ ter radiators which are connected to standard dairy water heaters, and pii; P t ,V ® i ,6 ) euArT Arthur Miller of Union, 111,, ad­ mires the new heater recently in­ stalled in his milk house, the conversion of electric milk cool­ er compressors into heat pumps. Most farmers, however, are in­ terested primarily in “ spot heat­ ing”—that is warning only the spe­ cific plaees in which they happen to be working at the moment. This is a relatively simple job and can be done by placing heat lamps di­ rectly above or adjacent to the space to be warmed. The old saying that “ grass is greener on the other side of the fence” has a scientific basis in fact, according to Dr, William A. Al­ brecht, head of the soils depart­ ment of the University of Missouri. Cattle’s grazing habits, he said, are based on a search for feed that will best nourish them. "When a cow risks her neck to get grass on the other side of the fence,” he declared, “ she is show­ ing good sense. She does this be­ cause the neighboring grass not only looks, but is greener. She is instinctively seeking grass from soil high in protein producing ele­ ments.” Feed that contains body-building bone-making values comes only from soil that is high in mineral . . .

Included in those are Greene, Clinton, Warren and Montgomery. - . NO NEW BUILDING The general assemblv has scut­ tled all hope of a new state office building. An appropriation of $650,000 for the purchase of a site is all that was done on the project.

Declin* ing_soil fertility means a decline in the health of our livestock, our crops and ourselves. Dr. Albrecht warned that wide­ spread loss of "life-giving ele­ ments” from the soil is becoming more serious. * ~ - Rebuilding the soil’s fertility strength so that it can produce crops with body building values, said Dr. Albrecht, depends on proper soil management. That includes liming, the growing oi deep-rooted legumes regularly in the rotation, the use of phosphate and potash fertilizers and the re­ turn of barnyard manures and green, manures to balance fertility losses through crop removals. From Chick-Fed Mink To Chic Fur Coats Poultry raiding *habits of wild mink have provided a tip for econ­ omy in the feeding of captive mink which for years have been fed oh horse meat and fish. But the fondness of mink for poul­ try suggested the feeding of the waste'from poultry dressing plants —the heads, feet and entrails. Ex­ periments proved that both adult mink and kits thrived on this cheap­ er diet.
