Editorial THE ELDER STATESMAN Herbert Hoover is 75 years old. No American, since Abraham Lincoln, ever actually earned his rating with the world like he has. He had a standing start—an or­ phan,. with excellent parental American-stock background. He became one o f the world’s most famous engineers. All his life he was called into service to do only the hard jobs—like handling the athletics fo r a college without a chance, and bringing civilizar tion to benighted countries.. America wanted him; for presi­ dent. His administration came during the aftermath of the most extravagant financial epoch the country ever experienced. He was blamed for the catastrophe that had to follow the spree as cer­ tainly as night follows day. There was as little reason to blame Her­ bert Hoover fo r the depression as there is to blame the rocks at the foot of Niagara Falls for having foam on them. No Ameri­ can, 75 years old, has ever car­ ried heavier loads o f responsibil­ ity or done a more masterful piece of work fo r his country and the world than he has done, and is still doing. He is American Statesman No. 1. ROASTIN’ EARS “ Living on the fat o f the land,” the adage has it. Well, we do it here in the garden spot o f Ohio, in Greene county. You’ve driven around the country in the other states, maybe all o f them. Near­ ly all of them have features that make them desirable. Some have beautiful mountains, some are ricn in m i n e r a l s , some have wealth in other forms, indeed all o f the states have attractions. But here in Ohio we have roastin’ ears! See that stack o f cobs out by the hack window ? That’s where we toss ’em. It takes time, you know, to go out and bury a cob like a dog does a bone, between batterings. THE MYSTERY Is there any hope o f develop­ ing a race of men who will und r- stand that they can't get away with crooked dealings? Take the Cincinnati banker in the “ num­ bers racket.” Could it be he ac­ tually thought he could escape being found out? Perhaps being found out is not the approach the honest man has, but fear o f being found out is a strong de­ terrent. THE BRANNAN PLAN The Brannan plan we’ve read so much about was that in name only. It wasn’t Brannan’s plan any more than it is yours. Ad­ ministration long-haired b o y a worked it out, after their fash­ ion, and saddled it on him nam­ ing it in his honor, commanding him to go and sell it to congress and to the people. But he ran, into a buyers’ market! MISSED GREENE COUNTY Fayette county, proudly beat­ ing her chest, tells the world that a party o f North Carolinians’ visited the county and told them that it was the best country they had seen. W e checked the route and noted that they didn’t go via Greene county. If they had we doubt i f they would have ever gone on to Fayette county! MUTUAL INTEREST The girl hints at how she and Franklin, the Two-th, met. It was through their mutual inter­ est in Angus cattle. The sire, probably. How does it come that 20 people die in automobile accidents in Ohio over the weekend and nobody takes time to read it, but i f three people are killed in an airplane accident in Wyoming everybody shudders? For the groundhog it’s the old rule o f “ root hog or die.” He’s allowed only three months’ pro­ tection from hunters. But like a circus sideshow he can take in a lot in three months. A n advertiser wants you to trade in your lawnmewer for 128 allowance, regardless o f its condition. That’s a careless offer, i f you ask us. He’s never seen ours., The- nawsksfc announcer says *iher«\*l& .'egg trouble ahead!.” SCRIPTURE: Psalms 8 ; 29:1-8; 83:9- 23: 104. DEVOTIONAL READING: Job 37:14- 24. Singing, Shining Lesson for August 21,1949 Dr. Foreman E VERY ATOM of the universe, said Calvin, sparkles with the glory of God. That is our thought for this week: In the created uni­ verse we can see the God who is ’ m o r e wonderful than all his works. The selected Psalms express four differ­ ent aspects of God's j creative p o w e r. Psalm 8 brings outj the dignity and the I glory of man, made • to be master of the earth; Psalm IS: 1-8 listens to the majestic music of sun and stars; Psalm 65:9-13 sees nature as a farmer sees it, in terms of sun, rain and crops; Psalm 104, one of the noblest poems in exis­ tence, celebrates God’s glory in all things great and small. * * «. Mystery T HESE inspired Psalmists saw a high truth: Nature is for man’ s use, in part, but it has also a value, a beauty and a splendor all its own; and it is one of the ways by which we can know Goo. What is true of nature is true, xar more, of the God who created all things. One of the thoughts suggested to their minds was the mystery of nature. Even today, with all that science has discovered, there Is mystery in the most elemen­ tal facts of existence. What is light? What is life? What is energy? Where did it come from and what Is the destiny of it all? A common grass blade performs miracles that chemistry has not yet initated. The mystery of nature suggests the deeper mystery of nature’ s God. • * * Power W E ARE beginning now to real­ ize, even better than the Psalmists could, how much energy There is in nature. We have seen tragic evidence of the atom’ s pow­ er. Now we have also found that while energy cannot be destroyed, it cannot be created by us, though it constantly changes form. As the water in a power sta­ tion. which has run through a turbine will not climb hack up to turn the turbine again, so the whole universe (they tell ns) is in the process of running down; But how was the universe born, how was energy bom, in the first place? Haw was the universe, so to speak, wound up? Science does not profess to know; but religious an­ swers by faith; In the beginning, God . . . Beauty T HE writer of Psalm 104 was well aware that some parts of nature are useless to man; but he re­ joiced in them none the less. Few o f his neighbors had any use for whales, for example; but he takes delight in the whale (he calls him Leviathan) just playing in the ocean. St. Augustine, in the same mood, says somewhere about things like wasps and spiders that if we could forget that they bite, we would be greatly awed by their beauty and the perfection of their mechanism. Indeed,- St. Augustine, in one of his prayers, calls God MPulchritudo»” Beauty. Just as God is The Truth and The Good, so he is The Beautiful. Law T HE writers of these naturc- Psalms (especially 19 and 65) were impressed by a n o t h e r fact about nature: its regularity. You can count on the sunrise, you always know which order the sea­ sons will follow. Even things like earthquakes and tornadoes, which seem pretty unpredicable, follow laws of their own. Science has now shown this to be true on a cosmic scale. The stuff of which the farth­ est stars are made is just the same (only a lot hotter!) as the stuff in the rocks under your feet at this minute; The laws that govern the fan of a leaf or the shape of a rain­ drop are the same laws that can he seen, in the whirling o f . star-dust fifty million light years away. The Creator of a3 is net erratic, eccentric or capricious. He is the God of Law, for from his infinite Mind come all the patterns, known to us or yet unknown, by which the vast fabric of the universe is woven. Mystery, Power, Beauty, Law; All nature, not only the stars, shine with all these— and as Addison says,' ’(Forever singing as they shine, Tbs h 83 sd‘;thatm*de us is divine.” CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Congress The House expects to start on a series o f threerday recesses the end o f this week while waiting for the Senate to catch up with its legislative schedule. During the recess period, only formal House sessions will he held twice each week, and no legislative bus­ iness will he transacted. Whether the House will have to come back into session later in the Autumn, before Congress adjourns sine die. depends, upon future Senate ac­ tion. Most observers believe the Senate will have to remain in session throughout mosf of Sep­ tember and perhaps well into October to complete its work. It will be remembered the Senate was required to.spend three weeks on the ratification of the North Atlantic Defense Pact, while an­ other three .weeks were lost by the filibuster over the Presi­ dent’s civil rights program, two matters with which the House did not have to contend. Your humble reporter expects to take advantage o f the House recess to get a ten day rest before re-, turning to his Congressional work in the District and on Capi­ tol Hill. Our office staff, how­ ever, will continue on the job at 1401 House Office Building, Washington, D. C„ to take care of the needs of constituents dur­ ing our absence. The House last week, by a vote o f 361 to 35, passed the Lucas Bill as a substitute fo r the Ad­ ministration-sponsored Lesinski Bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act. The substitute wage rate from 40 cents an hour measure increases the minimum to 75 cents, but at the same time exempts more than one million workers from present Wage and Hour Law restrictions, and pro­ hibits “ rule making” by the Ad­ ministrator. All retail establish­ ments with 50 percent ■or more o f sales within the State will he exempted under the new law, as will also newspapers with circu­ lation under five thousand, sub­ urban street car and bus oper­ ators, taxi cab drivers, employees o f telephone companies with less than 500 subscribers, small saw­ mills, and so forth. Congressman Jenkins of the Tenth Ohio District has been the victorious leader of a long fight to have a Washington street named “ Ohio.” A ll other States have long been so honored. Last week the District o f Columbia Commissioners renamed River­ side Drive, from the Ericsson Memorial to Hains Point. Ohio Drive - the new Ohio Drive - is one of the most beautiful road­ ways in Washingto.n General Omar N. Bradley, leader of American armed forces in Europe during World War II, and Chief of Staff under the new Unification Act, makiiv him the nation’s top ipilitany figure. The President has named General Joseph Lawton Collins as the new Chief o f Staff o f the Army to succeed Bradley. The Armed Services Committee investigation of the B-36 bomber contracts got o ff to slow start last week. Numerous Air Force officers testified as to the quali­ ties of the new bomber, and for­ mer Secretary o f War Patterson accepted responsibility for the let­ ting of the first B-36 contract. However, the Committee has not yet taken testimony on the more controversial issues involved - in­ cluding what possible part the present Secretary of National De­ fense, formerly a high official of the corporation building the B-36 bombers, may have played in the matter. Approximately one billion dollars are beine expend­ ed on the B-36 experiments and contracts. Legislation to implement the President’s military aid program for foreign countries is sched­ uled for a vote nearly this week. By a tie vote the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which has al­ ready restricted the President’s power to send military aid any­ where he pleases, late last week failed to cut the requested ap­ propriation of one billion 450 mil­ lion dollars in half. It now seems certain the Congress will dras­ tically reduce the amount o f ap­ propriation requested, and it is even possible the entire hill may be defeated. Senate action last week making a further reduction o f approxi­ mately ten percent in the ap­ propriation for the Economic Co­ operation Administration- or the European Relief Program - is expected to b e .approved by the House promptly. The Senate cut, was in addition to the oi-iginal reduction o f nearly ten percent made by the House many weeks ago in the foreign aid appropria- • tion. Whisper, coming from sources that are usually reliable, to the effect that the value o f the Bri­ tish pound storing will be reduc­ ed in late September or early October from the present 'ex­ change rate of $4.03 to around $3.00, can he heard all over Wash-, ington. It is said pressure from high American sources will prob­ ably he the principal factor in the decision to d.evalue the British currency. Church Being Remodeled Under a complete renovation, the basement of the Methodist church in Washington C. H. is still not usahle. For several weeks the congregation held services in the Presbyterian church. With some o f the remodeling complet­ ed, services have been resumed in the church and now the Pres­ byterians, whose house o f wor­ ship is undergoing repairs, is re­ turning the visit by holding serv­ ices in Grace Methodist church. GROUNDHOG SEASON Except between March 1 to June _1. it will be legal to kill groundhogs in Qhio at- anytime; GREENE’S TAVERN FEES The share o f Greene county from ,tavern fees for last year was $23,419.69. Night club per­ mits are $1,000; $400 for mid­ night closing hour ..for sale of liquor, and $200 for a private club. VACATION MEMORIES New Farm Bath Unit Comes JU1 'Packaged1 ' Setup May Be Attached To Existing Dwelling An Indiana manufac uring firm has announced the introduction of a novel, factory-built bathroom to be known as Ad-a-Bath. Representing an entirely new approach to home modernization, the bath is con­ structed in one complete “ package” for attachment to existing dwell­ ings. Built as a self-contained unit, the bath utilizes conventional materials and equipment, and includes all necessary fixtures and fittings for Immediate Installation and immedi­ ate use. It is shipped fully equipped for addition to a farm, lake cottage or suburban home. Since it is added to the exterior, there is no sacrifice of space or change of interior arrangement of the house to which it is attached. The setup is complete in every respect with tub, lavatory, stool and tank, electric heater and built-in medicine, and linen cabinets. It is of frame construction with-plywood interior. Walls and floors are heavily insulated and the floor is linoleurj covered. Since the unit qualifies for FHA financing, a home owner is re­ quired only to make a 10 per cent down payment, paying the balance in convenient monthly installments through his local bank. Fewer Wormy Apples Faithful adherents of the “ apple a day” maxim, if they can think back to war experience, will realize that nowadays they are not nearly so likely as they used to be to find a worm, or half a worm, in their apple. Also, says the U.-S. depart­ ment o f agriculture, the “ spray residue” problem is not nearly so troublesome as it was. The apple worm—or coddling moth —problem appears to be on its way out as a major concern in apple growing. DDT has proved an effective spray. In fact, in some isolated orchards that do not draw •moths from' unsprayed or poorly sprayed trees nearby, a good early spray program with DDT may so reduce coddling moths that there is no need to spray against a second brood. But DDT has not proved a full solution to the apple insect prob­ lems. It does not make a clean sweep of all the pests. Thus DDT sprays permit a_ buildup of some pests that it does not control—the apple mites, for instance. The prob­ lem shifts, but a problem remains. The mites do not cause wormy apples, but the apples are smaler and of a poorer color. However, the new insecticide parathion is making an impressive showing against nearly all the apple pests. Federal entomologists say that it can not yet be recommended for general use, that considerable more controlled and expert testing is needed. This is because the in­ secticide is an extremely poisonous material and may hold public health hazards. Tillage May Be Used in Controlling Grasshoppers Farmers can use tillage as on aid in controlling such troublesome in­ sects as grasshoppers, crickets and wheatstem sawfly, according to Dr. J. A. Munro, entomologist of the NDAC agricultural experiment sta­ tion. The.eggs c f grasshoppers and' crickets are laid during late, sum­ mer-; and remain in the soil un­ til spring when they hatch .and the bisects, emerge. Hummel to Seek Governorship Edward J. Hummel, for several years secretary of state has an­ nounced that he will seek the GOP nomination for governor o f Ohio at the 1959 primary. Hummel held the office o f sec­ retary of state several terms. He had been next to a perpetual candidate for the nomination for the office for a number of years. No New City Ha]l for Hillsboro By a vote of 977 to- 343 the citizens of Hillsboro defeated a bond issue proposal of $125,000 for a new city hall. Fire destroyed the .century-old building last win­ ter. There will be a $63,000 in­ surance payment available for remodeling the old building. Blind Baby Can Now See' Born with cataracts over both eyes and blind the e n t i r e 17 months of his life, Jouett T. Dai­ ley, the third son of his family to bear that name, can see. A Cincinnati surgeon removed the cataracts. The baby’ s father is connected with the army air force base at Wilmington.

TAFT: O NE o f the most revolutionary projects o f President Truman’s welfare state program is his so-called national compulsory health insurance. It is not insurance and it will not improve health. Taxes in the sum o f billion a year are to be levied, for the most part on payrolls, and to be paid'out by a Washington bureau to give free medical care to every- unc in the United States, including* :he millions who are completely able to pay for it themselves. Doctors, nurses, dentists and other health personnel would soon be­ come, in effect, employees of the Federal govern­ ment. The cost to the taxpayer (and everyone would be a tax­ payer through the payroll de­ ductions) would probably be far more than $6 billion. Experience in England and elsewhere shows that, when medical services are free, everyone insists on treatment for the most trivial causes. Doctors are so swamped that those in real need get very poor service indeed. A recent Brookings Institution survey shows that we have the * best health record of any country in the world, except for a few small countries which do not have our wide variation in condi­ tions and types of people. Our free system of private medicine has produced the best doctors in the world, spud there are more of them per unit of population than in any other coutnry. Certainly our system can be im­ proved, but why destroy it when it has succeeded better than any other ? Freedom has been the key to the success of the American Re­ public. This is no time to abandon it for state-directed systems in any field. Nothing could intrude the federal bureaucracy into the daily lives of every American family more than this national medical socialism. * * * T HERE are many other things government can do to improve our system. Government and the medical profession have donea great job in the field of preventive medicine. Many of our worst scourges like typhoid have been driven out. We are appropriating millions to check cancer, tubercu­ losis, heart disease and venereal liseases. The Senate has passed a bill to help States to provide periodical inspection of the health of chil­ dren in public, parochial and pri­ vate schools. The Senate Com­ mittee has approved a bill to aid States to extend their local pub­ lic health units to cover the en­ tire State. We found after the war that our facilities had fallen behind. The Federal government is aiding the States and private hospitals so that adequate hospital facilities may be available to all. The Senate Com­ mittee has recommended an in­ crease in this aid to hospital con­ struction, and also a bill to aid medical and other schools so that they may educate more doctors, dentists, nurses and other health personnel. * * • W E are studying plans also to aid the States and localities in providing free medical care for those unable to pay for it. The obligation of local government to do this has been recognized every­ where, but there have been gaps in the performance, particularly-in rural districts, and a better job should he done. If government con­ fines free service to those unable to pay their way, we do no more than Anglo-Saxon people have always done for hundreds of years. . We are also studying the en­ couragement of voluntary health in­ surance funds so that real health insurance can be obtained at pre­ paid cost by all those- who desire to protect themselves against calamity illness and excessive charges. There are those who are opposed to the Federal government giving any aid to States, cities and coun­ ties. Admittedly, health is primarily a local responsibility, but many States are poor and none has the tax resources o f the national government. . I know of no other way to fill up the gaps in our system or quickly to effect substantial im­ provement. All Federal aid legis­ lation which I have sponsored or approved leaves complete con­ trol ‘ o f administration in the States, Local self-government is absolutely essential to the main-'’ tenance of freedom in a country as, large as the United .States.
