The church of today has not by any means given up her emphasis on personal religion, but we are learn­ ing from the prophets what social righteousness means. The church in our time is the logical and actual successor to the prophet’s work. The church is doing more than ever to awaken the con­ science of society, in fact the church itself has a duty to be. the conscience of society. One of the problems about which our nation needs to be waked up is one that Isaiah and Jere­ miah faced, only we have it In a more desperate form. We call it alcoholism; they called er’s thumb on scientists who know the A-bomb secret, and it is eas­ ily possible that they have it. Then what? Will the A-bomb be like poison gas, when both sides have it nob&dy uses it for fear the enemy will? APPLE WEEK It is always some “Week” of some sort—Wear Shoes Week, Have a Baby Week, Burn the Leaves Week—now it’s “Apple Week.” We heartily approve that one. An apple is a miracle, in its growth, its appearance and its food value. Gimme that’n on the left there—the red one!

A recent Gallup poll shows no silver mountain from which pensions can come. They all come off the people. FREE ENTERPRISE Senator Taft in a recent issue of Coliiei* asks how much govern­ ment control free enterprise can stand and survive. Government control begets government con­ trol—the more there is of it the more increases. Shaking off the the greatest percentage of drinkers to be in the age group 31 to 39. Today, it is estimated, there are four million alcohol addicts or excessive drinkers who are in more or less con­ stant trouble with their fami­ lies and employers. Drunkenness costs industry in shackles of statism is harder »> less ™ than whipping an enemy on the dollars a year, and has a lot to do battlefield. Free entei’prise is in the break-up of hemes and danger-—serious danger. with crime generally. SPECTACLE Americans are witnessing the spectacle of a president trying to get approval of a political ap­ pointment by the same ruse a ward politican employs. If a Democrat sat within six rows of Truman when he was In the sen­ ate he should have a federal ap­ pointment! THE BRASS Nothing costs USA as much as the “brass.” Officers in all the armed services live high-w?de and handsome. They lord it over underlings. They have the high- priced cars. They live in the best places. We pay the bill and like it, apparently. ' SIMMERING a In a country that operates its government by parties the polit­ ical pot is always simmering, if it isn’t boiling. On the same page of a newspaper the other day ap­ peared two news items, one bear­ ing a Chicago dateline, the other New York. The Chicago news item was about GOP leaders from Ohio and 18 midwest states meeting there to “discuss how to win new voters and to gain back those lost.” The New York story announced a meeting of Demo­ crats at a $10G-a-plate dinner to be held in December. No an­ nounced purpose of that meeting is -given. The Republicans who want to “win new voters and gain hack the lost” could announce a standard GOP po.licy of govern­ ment, with a complete abandon­ ment of the “me, too” and an out- and out indorsement o f tried and successful American principles; and. the Democrats should not Allied Youth S OMETHING Is being done to stop this, which you should know about. There is a movement known as Allied Ycuth, a national educational organization working in high schools all over the country. Its work is positive, not negative. It is not trying to pass laws or to bring back prohibition. What it doe3 try to do—and it is succeeding re­ markably well in many places—is to give young people a way of life that will enable them to meet social pressure for drinking without loss of ‘face.” Every Allied Youth post in a schooLhas three aims; I. To meet the social and recreational needs of young people;. Every New Year’s Eve, for instance, when millions of Americans are getting sickly drunk, more than 6,000 young people gather in Detroit for the biggest dry party in America, sponsored by Allied Youth. 2. To establish within the school a fellowship of young people who do not think it is necessary to drink to be smart. Such a group can change the attitude of an entire school. 3. To build a solid foundation of education for total abstinence. Es­ sentially, Allied Youth is saying to young people everywhere, “Choose the Best!” (Information about Allied Youth"" can be had by writing Allied Youth, 1709 M. Street N.W., Washington, D. C.)

BROWN Write* With a Buckeye * I n Congress The First Session of the 81st Congress finally adjourned sine die Wednesday night of last week, October 19—just. 80 days after the Federal statues decree Con­ gress must tdjourn each year. The 81st Congress will go down as the greatest spending Con-' gress in the peacetime history o f or authorized totalled approxi* the nation. Appropriations made mately 49 billion dollars for the fiscal yeaz\ Since July 1st, when the new fiscal year bean, the Fed­ eral Government has been spend- the average of 22 million dollars more per day, Sundays and holi- taken in. The largest single appropriation bill passed by Congress was for the National Defense Establish­ ment —>totaling $15,585,863,000, In addition, an expenditure of $1,310,000,000 for arming friend­ ly foreign nations was authorized, • while over 6 billion dollars more were voted to meet expenses in occupied territories for national defense .and foreign aid, as Russia, reaches a total of nearly 24 billion dollars. In the last day of the Congress­ ional session, the Congress pass­ ed a compromise farm bill recom­ mended by the House-Senate Con­ ference Committee. The bill would continue Government price supports for the six basic farm commoditiees (cotton, wheat, corn, rice, tobacco, and peanuts) at 90 percent o f’parity through 195Q; at 80 to 90 percent of par­ ity through 1951; and from 75 to 90 percent for the years 1952 and 1953. Beginning in 1954 the Gov­ ernment would support farm com­ modity prices at from 75 to 90 .percent of parity, based on the formula contained in the Ander­ son Bill. Prices on non-basic com­ modities, such as dairy products and vegetables, will be at a low­ er rate. In addition, the measure repeals the Aiken Law, which would otherwise have become ef­ fective January 1,1950, and, auth­ orizes Government loans to farm cooperatives, up to 80 per cent of cost, for the construction of grain storage facilities where private or Government facilities are not available. The new farm bill has many apparent weakness­ es, hut it seems to be the best the Truman administration could get through the Democratic 81st Congress. Before adjourning, Congress also adopted and sent to the Pres­ ident the final versioji o f a bill to amend the Fair Labor Stand­ ards Act, under which minimum wage rates for employees of con­ cerns engaged in interstate com­ merce will be increased from the present 40 cents and hour to 75 cents. Ahout 1,500,Q00 workers result of the enactment of this may receive increased pay as a legislation. The new bill also clarifies the present Wage and Hour Lav/ and exempts many small concerns and an additional million employees from its pro­ visions. Most retail and service businesses,- will be entirely ex­ empt from the law’s requirements. Othef legislation voted during the First Session of the 81st Congress, which convened last January includes: Subsidies for low cost housing; extension of rent control, under a local option provision, until June 30,1950; ex­ tension of Government credit for housing to March 1,1950; approv­ al of public power projects; Gov­ ernment aid to cooperatives for rural telephones; extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act giving the President power to reduce tariffs; increased author­ ity to the President and the Sec­ retary of National Defense to unify the armed services; pay Increases for the President, his Cabinet, and other top officials, and cost-of-living pay, increases for other Government workers; and ratification of the North At­ lantic Defense Pact. The 81st Congress, during its First "Session, refused *to; Grant statehood to Alaska and Hawaii; provide for universal military training; pass a Federal Fair Em­ ployment Practices Act; .enact other civil rights legislation, in­ cluding anti-poll tax and anti-lyn- ch bills, authorize the St. Law­ rence Seaway project and the es­ tablishment of Missouri Valley and Columbia Valley Authorities; grant greater lending power to the Reconstruction Finance Cor­ poration, ease Government credit for private, housing; make the Brannan Plan effective; enact the President's compulsory health insurance (or socialized medicine) program; increase unemploy- met compensation benefits; re­ peal the Taft-Hartley Act; grant the President price control and taxes as requested by the Pres­ ident. Bills approved by one branch of Congress or the other, but not by both, include the Federal Aid- to-Education Bill, the Basing Point Bill, the bill amending the Social Security Act to increase retirement benefits, bring > the self-employed and totally disabl­ ed under the coverage of the Act, and raise Social Security taxes; and the measure to inci’ease the unmber of “displaced persons” States outside normal immigra- to be admitted into the United tion quotas. With Congress in adjournment, our weekly “With A Buckeye in Congress” column will not be published until the Second Ses­ sion of the 81st Congress con­ venes January 3rd next. Hate and fear are gauges of mental health, they say. Health experts agree that the injunction of Jesus of Nazareth that “ye love one another” is the most practical advice ever given, from * every-angle of a person’-a life— health, wealth and happiness. The new Miss America is so tiny that if she had come from Massachusetts there, wouldn’t have been room for the state name. across her eastern front. b Isn’t that just like a state de- • partment? The Illinois highway department went through a year of red tape demanding a rebate on an overcharge by a"man who- had done some hauling. He finally paid It—1 cent! Ringold Lady Dora Is Champion Again ; . Raises Litter of 10 f To 447 Pounds Weaned Ninety-six pigs raised to weaning age is the remarkable new record of America’s champion production sow. She is Ringold Lady Dora, a purebred Hampshire owned by Meadowlark Farms. Inc. of Sulli­ van, Indiana, and the only sow of any breed to qualify for an 8th star in production registry books. The champion chalked jip her new record this spring when she ‘ raised a litter of 10 pigs, nine of them eligible for registration, to weigh 447 pounds at weaning time, 56 days. To qualify for production regis­ try, conducted by the purebreed associations, a sow must raise a litter of at least eight pigs to a minimum weight of 320 pounds within 56 days. They must be ap­ proved breed type, free from fault Versatile Tool This “adjusto-blade” tool is a time, space and money saver" for the farmer and gardener and can be used at any season of the year. A product of the Coi­ fing hoist company, the tool does the work of a hoe, an angle hoc, an axe, edger, trencher, sickle in summer and a scraper in winter. The secret of its versatility lies in the adjustable blade which can be fastened securely in a number of positions. The h e ad , of a the company which makes it, Fred W. Coifing, "is the investor. The tool is sturdily made throughout, with blade made of heat-treated tool steel to insure extra toughness. Grain Sorghum Grazing Cuts Farm Feeding Cost The widespread use of grain sorghum for fall grazing has proved this crop to be one of the best grown for livestock, according to J. T. Graves, Clemson extension livestock specialist. The grain sorghum gives grazing at a time of year that most other types cf grazing are unavailable. It fits in very well between summer pastures and green winter grazing -crops. ■ . s HALLOWE'EN JITTERS Mr. and Mrs. Fred Beck, Sr,, of Toledo were the weekend guests of Mr, and Mrs. Fred Beck, Jr., and family of Clifton.

DAYTON, OHIO Here is Ringold Lady Dora with her litter of 10 pigs which qualified her as an 8-star sow, the only sow having such desig­ nation in registry sows of any breed. This litter weighed 447 pounds at 56 days of age. Kin- - gold Lady was fed a ration of corn, oats, pelletized milk pro­ ducts and alfalfa pasture prior to farrowing and during the suckling period. or defect and at least half of them eligible for registry. The sow gains a star in the production registry books each time she repeats the performance. * The champion has repeated it eight times, raising a total 'of 81 pigs to weigh a total of 3,183 pounds at the Weaning age. Besides her eight litters which qualified for production registry, this sow has raised another 15 pigs in two litters which failed to qualify, or a total of 96 pigs since her first litter was farrowed in September, 1944.s According to U. S. department of agriculture reports, the national average is less than 6.3 pigs per litter raised to weaning age. It would take more than average lit­ ters to equal in numbers of pigs raised to weaning age what Rin­ gold Lady Dora raised in her eight qualifying litters. Worth of her litters was proven recently when her sixth qualifying litter (farrowed February 13, 1"948) consisting of seven boars and three gilts, was sold for a total of $4,385.
