Editorial LOCAL GOVERNMENT P o n ’ t consider the election, Nov. 8, o f no importance because it is in an “ o ff y ea r” There can be no sound national government without strong, healthy local gov­ ernments. That is the American system. There are important mat­ ters to be - decided—very impor­ tant to local communities—at the November1 election. The voting should be just as heavy on these issues as on. national issues, for they have an important, hearing on our national stability. In many ways it is more important than any other election, and it offers the American opportunity to par­ ticipate in local affairs—a priv­ ilege that very few o f the peoples of the earth have. WHY IS THIS? The department o f justice pro­ poses to investigate the Amer­ ican Medical association on anti­ trust charges. This is an admin­ istration move to discredit the doctors o f the country in favor o f socialized medicine after the fashion o f British degredation of medical service to its people. Why is the administration so ardent in its support of every or­ ganization o f communistic char­ acter, and so arrogant in its per­ secution o f every group that seeks to bolster its own cause in the democratic way? The thou- shalt-not-touch attitude is main­ tained in the administration’s handling of .all labor organiza­ tions and but little less of favoi* *- itism towards openly destructive groups, but the AMA, like every other democratic association, comes in for rough handling. Why is this ? LEWIS FOR SENATOR We would like to make a sug­ gestion, not frivolously or face­ tiously. Why not nominate John L. Lewis to oppose Senator Taft fo r II. S. Senator in 1050 in Ohio ? What this country needs is a show-down vote on vital issues, and can you think o f a more vital issue than whether Taft or Lewis represents .American ideals? “ Lewis doesn’t live in Ohio?” But he gives orders that must be obey­ ed in Ohio, or else, doesn't he ? It would be No. 1 decision for Ohioans to make—whether they prefer Taft’s policies of Lewis’ power, THEN AND NOW News item: Pope Pius X II has a new motor scooter, a bright blue one. In days of old When men were hold The kings and popes led troops While small fry Must do or die To prove that they were dupes. Arrayed in tin They strode with din But none of them was cuter Than the pope today A t wyork or play On his new blue scooter. EGG SUPPORT The department of agriculture says that in four years you and I and all the other you and I’s who go to make up “ We the? people” .spent §200,000,000 (that's eight ciphers .with a 2 ahead of them) to support the price o f eggs. This does not include, what we spend fo r the eggs. Speaking as one of the I’s I’m glad you were helping out; in another four years I might have begun to imagine something was happening to my hank balance, even accusing my wife o f buying too many doodads. It was nice o f you to help out that way. OPPOSING LAUSCHE A revolt against Governor Lausche on what is called a “ coun­ ty level” is cited. His opponents— members of his own party—object to his “ playing sheriff.” An­ other critism his party folk month is the way he handles Democrats on the state payroll—or those who would like to be on it. That was a general cause of complaint when Lausche was governor the other term. The 1950 election will be mainly fo r county of­ ficers—with two-year state of­ ficers coming up for re-eiection i f they “ choose to run.” The gov­ ernor’s opponents want to get at him when he is not being carried along by a national wave. IS THIS AN ERROR? In the newspaper story o f the death o f a young college boy down east is says he was “ studying agriculture and licing at a frat­ ernity house” is this a typograph­ ical error, do you suppose? Ed Wynn, comedian, used to tell a- bout a diner in a hotel calling the waiter to complain that he found $ needle in his soup. The 'waiter explained that it was merely a typographical ei^rdr—fb should have been a noodle I IS THIS GROUNDS? A Cincinnati woman asked fo r a divorce because she married a man when she was tipsy and did not know what she was doing. Re­ alizing the effect of the moon, a convertible, or a drivein thea­ ter, do you suppose this case may establish a precedent? The New York Central rail­ road has a train named “ The James Whitcomb Riley.” It paces all trains between Cincinnati and Chicago. But it gan’t create the disturbance its namesake^ did by staging a “ runaway” with his painter’s cart in sleepy Nobles- ville, Ind., when he was a sign- painter, long before he became a famous poet. SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 7: 12:2; 25-26; ^ijEVOTIONA Ii READ ING : Psalm 27. Trust God Lesson for October 23, 1949 S HOOTING WARS and cold wars were going on. A great whirl­ pool of international intrigue was roaring around and around, and Judah was in the midst of every­ thing. The star of the once-great em­ pire of Egypt was setting, a n d the star of the new and powerful nation of Assyria was rising. Judah w a s only one of 20 or more little countries be­ tween those giants. Some of the little nations were try- I’ oreman ing to take advan­ tage of the disturbed situation by getting up little empires of their own. AH o f them were scheming and scrambling for a place in the sun. Some were betting on Assyria, some on Egypt; no one knew just what to expect, but every one was afraid. • * * Cowardly King, Bold Prophet I NTO ISAIAH’S little country of Judah an invading army was marching, and the hearts of king and people trembled “like leaves in the wind.” little Judah was being invaded by a combination of two ambitious powers, Syria and Israel, either one larger and strong­ er than Judah. Isaiah had to go out and try to calm the mind of the ■Ring. It was of no use; it was clear that King Ahaz did not believe the prophet. But Isaiah was right nevertheless. The foreign army that looked so big would not win the war. The alliance that looked so frightening did not last. It could not last, because God \vas ■ against it. Military men and others too find such things hard to believe. Is not God “ on the side of the largest battalions” ? Is not “ Git thar fustest with the mostest men” the one and only recipe for victory? Nevertheless, the prophet was right. In fact, whenever a prophet raised a banner inscribed. Trust in God, it was not likely to he at a time when things were going smoothly in the world. That banner most often appeared in times of trouble, of darkness; and dismay, o f wars and invasions. • * Leagues Don’t Always Last The situation had a different angle, later on. The Syria-Israel invasion collapsed, just as Isaiah said it would. But still the little nations jockeyed and maneuvered. It looked like a death-grapple be­ tween Assyria and Egypt, and every nation wanted to be on the winning side. So it was a great time of treaty-makings, of pacts and agreements and alliances. Isaiah changed the form of his message to suit the changing times, but the core of it was still the same. To King Ahaz he had said: Don’t be afraid of hostile alliances; trust in. God. To King Hezekiah and others he said, in effect: Don’t put all your hope in alliances; trust in God. Egypt will fail you, any aI-< liance you form will melt away in time. But God will not melt away. You can depend on him. Now in our time the situation is strikingly like what it was in Isaiah’s day. People today are tempted to put their trust in what is big ana imposing. Big nations, big armaments, big ■ armies, big alliances. Men once put their trust In the League of Nations, and it died (of cowardice and dishonesty, among other things). Millions put their trust in the Axis, and for awhile it ■looked as if the Axis powers would overspread the earth. But the Axis vanished under the blows; of the 'Allies. * * * • Are A ll Alliances Bad? T HIS does not mean that no al­ liance is good, or that no treaty can be relied on, or that the United Nations (for instance) is bound to collapse. What Isaiah is driving at is this: God has a Purpose to work out in this world, and the name of it is Justice, Righteousness, Peace, Love. Any nation or combination of nations, any pact or agreement or program, that goes against God’s purpose is going against the grain of things and is hound ■ to fall. Pure “ power politics” always looks impressive; but the question is: What is the power going to he used for? If it is really for the benefit of mankind, God will bless it; but i f It is selfish and unjust and against the peace of tbe world, it .will fail, because the God of Justica has set Ms facd against it. | (Ceiwrisbt by the International Coun­ cil ot Religious Education on behalf of $0 Proteatant denominations.

BROWN W rites^ With-a Buckeve & In Conerress The 81st Congress did not ad­ journ its first session sine die on last Saturday, October 15, as planned by Administration lead­ ership—4ue to delays in the Sen­ ate. Legislative leaders now are hoping the final adjournment may come not later than Thursday o f this week, but many members have their fingers crossed. Ad­ ministration-sponsored bills to support farm prices, to amend' the Fair Labor Standards Act, and to make appropriations for the National Defense Establish­ ment are still in conference a- waiting final legislative action. A number o f other bills must al­ so be disposed o f before, the Con­ gress can call it quits fo r this session. The hearings conducted by the Armed Services Committee of the ’ House have gone far .beyond the investigation o f B-86 conti'acts and now involve serious ques­ tion o f our national security. High Naval officers are charging the Navy will be destroyed by present defense policies. Some- legislative leaders are charging Secretary Johnson is attempting to set aside laws enacted by the Congress and to usurp the con­ stitutional prerogatives and au­ thority of the Legislative Branch in connection with defense mat­ ters. Under the free enterprise system there are 410 square feet o f housing for each person in the United States. Great Britain, under its socialitsie form o f gov­ ernment, has 105 square feet of • housing per capita, while Com­ munist Russia has only 40 square feet o f housing available for each individual. Still there are those who think America should soc­ ialize housing. Since World War II ended, and up to the time the present steel and coal strike started, strikes and labor disputes in the United Siates hove cost the American an estimated 6 billion dollars. Wages lost by industrial workers alone account for more than 3 billion dollars of this amount. 263 million man-days o f produc- ton have also been lost, through strikes since V-J Day. The pre­ sent strike wave is ranidly adding to these totals. to_ again prove there is no real winner in any strike. One reason for the growing pension, or retirement pay prob­ lem is that in 1925 there were twenty younger persons fo r every indiviqal over sixty.fivo years of age. Today there are twelve '-QUnger persons fo r every one sixty-five. By 1975 it is estimated that one-ninth of our population will be over sixty-five years o f age. Henry Kaiser is back m the Washington news headlines a- gain. Last week the Reconstruc­ tion Finance Corporation granted t h e Kaiser-Frazer Corporation another loan—this time 34 mil­ lion 400 thousand—to “ complete their line o f cars.” The RFC has financed many other Kaiser act­ ivities, including his West Coast steel plant, ship-building yards, etc. It might be adijed that the money RFC lends actually be­ longs to the taxpayers. • President Truman met one of his greatest defeats late last week when the Senate rejected his nomination o f Leland S. Olds as a member o f the Federal Pow­ er Commission activities, by a vote o f 53 to 15. Olds, who has been known by his radical tend­ encies and activities, was orig­ inally appointed 'to the Federal Power Commission by President Roosevelt The Democratice Nat­ ional Committee and the Truman Administration put every possible pressure on the Senate to force confirmation of the Old’s appoint­ ment, all to no avail. The Congress has approved and sent to the White House a bill which would raise the pay of 220 top-flight government Officials by 25 to 50 percent. The new sal­ aries for the Cabinet Members will be $22,500, instead o f $15,- 000. This is the first pay increase for such top officials since 1925. As predicted in this column sometime ago, the Administra­ tion has announced a rather lengthy list of tariff reductions made in secret agreements with foreign nations under the pro­ visions o f the Reciprocal Trade Agreement^ Act;. These latest cuts in import duties tariffs, which will increase the flow of foreign goods to the United States and create greater compe­ tition for American agriculture and industry will take effect in January. President Truman has a ten year plan to increase America's over-all income and production from its present 260 billion dol­ lars a year rate to 350 billion dol­ lars annually by 1958. He insists that if his goal can be attained the average family income in A- merica will be about $4,000 per year. But, of course, the thing which really counts is what each o f such dollars will buy in goods and services. The $10,000 insur­ ance policy purchased before World War I, i f paid o ff today, would actually buy only as much as $8,800 would have bought when the policy was issued. *PROJECT NEARLY DONE The expansion program at the OSSO Home, Xenia, which called for the construction of many new buildings and an expenditure of $1,600,000, is nearing completion.

M E ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY Lilt-Type Device / Used on Tractor • Will fiid Materially In Easing Farm Chores * To help with those odd chores about the farm that so often are time-wasting and back-breaking, Pittsburgh forgings company of Coraopolis, Pa., has developed a lift-type utility carrier for use on tractors. The Pittsburgh carry-lift is at­ tached in a few seconds to tractors through the regular implement sus­ pension points. Made of alloy spring steel and structural steel, it will handle loads as heavy as 700 pounds. An important feature of this new unit is its quick conversion from a platform lift to a fork lift, making it universal in the types of loads it can both lift and carry. It can be used as a platform lift either with or without a back panel, and pock- HYBRID FIELD DAY Greene county farmers were invited to a hybrid corn field dav held on the farm of G. T. Wall and Sons, on Hoop road, Wednes­ day, Growers o f the hybrid seed were present to demonstrate the merits o f the strain o f corn. FALL PASTURE GOOD Continued seaspnal rains have kept pastures in extremely good condition, adding a great deal' to farmers’ revenues Early feeding o f ’ grain has not been necessary. The usual heavy inroads on grain stocks occasioned by early feed­ ing have been avoided this year, thanks to good late pastures., TO HAVE CARNIVAL .

DAYTON, OHIO The farm carry-lift is attached In seconds through the regular tractor implement suspension points. Heavy containers can be tipped and rolled onto the plat­ form without lifting. The trac­ tor engine raises the carry-lift. ets are provided for standard 2" x 4" stakes, The frame is punched to provide easy securing of loads and for the addition of a wooden plat­ form. Used as a fork lift, the utility carrier works like a small hay buck, and thus can pick up bulky material witoufc the lift having to be loaded by hand. Heavier loads can be handled in this way by us­ ing skid-pallets. Its capacity for light, bulky loads can be extended materially by putting 2" x 4" fork extensions into the brackets pro­ vided. Lifting of heavy containers like milk cans, drums and barrels is eliminated by the carry-lift be­ cause those can he tipped and rolled onto the platform which prac­ tically rests on the ground. Small buildings, range shelters, and feed­ ers can be easily and quickly moved by tipping slightly and running the forks beneath them. Heavy bags of seed grain can he taken to the field with a minimum of lifting, and field feeding is made both quicker and easier^ The carry-lift will be found par­ ticularly useful because material can he moved over any kind of ground, under any condition where a tractor can operate and in places that might he inaccessible by other means of transportation. WASHINGTON R E P O R T BY SENATOR ROBERT A . TAFT P RESIDENT •TRUMAN has given out a statement com­ mending the record of the 81st Congress and listing 10 important measures for commendation. His statement shows clearly that the 81st Democratic Congress has placed its stamp of approval on the work of the 80th Republican Con­ gress and has rejected Mr. Truman’s Fair Deal Program. (1) Mr. Truman claims credit*: for the revision of the Armed Popular Belting Forces Unification Act. The 80th Congress adopted the first unifica­ tion a ct, six y e a r s a f t e r P earl H arbor had shown the necessity of it, during which, ilme the Demo­ cratic Congres­ ses had wholly failed to deal with the prob­ lem. (2) He claims credit for the extension of the European Recovery Program. The 80th Congress Initiated it.'—* (3) The 81st Congress extended the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, but so did the 80th. The 81st killed some mild restrictions de­ signed to prevent the use of the President’s power in such a way as to destroy any American industry. This hardly seems a subject fox- commendation. (4) The 81st Congress enacted the North Atlantic Treaty, but it was the direct result o f the Vandenberg resolution adopted by the 80th Congress. (5) The 81st Congress ratified the International Wheat Agreement which had been acted on by the 80th Congress. It involves the sale of wheat, however, at $1.20 a bushel,. which is not a very accept­ able indication of wheat values to farmers, and involves a subsidy of $84 million a year, which is not very pleasant news for the tax­ payer. (6) The 81st Congress adopted the Military Assistance Program, to which I am myself opposed. However, it cut down the Presi­ dent’s request or money, and it rejected violently the President’s first demand that he be given un­ limited power to distribute Army and Navy equipment in unlimited .quantities to any nation in the world. / (7) The 81st Congress enacted the housing program which had been approved by the Senate of the 80th Congress. In fact, I wrote the bill nearly four years ago. (8) The 81st Congress extended. Federal rent controls and so did thg 80tli. But both of them tried to cut down the extent of the control and return the whole subject gradually to the states. (9) The 81st Congress did author­ ize the Commodity Credit Corpora­ tion to provide storage space for crops. It had had this power but had never used it until it was made a political issue in 1948. (10) The President claims parti­ cular credit for the hill permitting him to re-organize the Government, but of course this grew out of the 80th Congress resolution introduced by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Congressman Brown of Ohio, creating the Hoover Commission. * * * O N the other hand, what has happened to Mr. Truman’s Fair Deal Program ? The Congress has ignored the Spence bill giving power to fix wages, ration com­ modities and put the Government into the steel busines and other businesses'. Both House and Senate have injected the Brannan Plan. Both House and Senate have refused to repeal the Taft-Hartley Law and thei’eby restore arbitrary powers and special privileges to labor union officials. Mr. Truman’s proposal for social­ izing and nationalizing medical care in the medical profession has been ignored by the committees. Universal military training has been forgotten. The President’s request for more tax money to spend has aiso been rejected. * * * M R, TRUMAN made his princi­ pal issue in 1948,against the work of the 80th Congress. The 81st Congress has now approved that work. The truth is that, while this Congress is more radical than the last.one a majority of its mem­ bers still disagree fundamentally with the philosophy of Mr. Truman and the CIO Political Action Com­ mittee. Congress believes in improving our present system instead of de­ stroying it. It is determined not to establish in this country a socialistic government like that in Great Britain. The issue can only be determined by the people of the United States ■when they elect the 82nd Congress in November 1950, A victim of the war, the first red rubber agricultural belting has been made available to farmers by a Pennsylvania man­ ufacturer. Available since 1940 only as a higher-priced indus­ trial belting, the red rubber belt­ ing was a pre-war favorite with America’ s* farmers. This farm­ e r s smile as he gets bis first roll indicates a big welcome on its return to the farm mar­ ket. This belting is particularly popular because of its added flexibility and toughness. Value oi Bicarbonate Use In Swine Feeding Tested An experimental feeding program to determine the value of bicarbon­ ate of soda in the feeding of hogs is being conducted this fall at Iowa State college. Experiments will be aimed , at • determining whether the feeding of bicarbonate of soda produces ob­ servable benefits in the growth of swine and whether the ingestion of iamounts equal to I per cent of the [ration will produce results.
