Editorial A PRACTICAL LESSON Painlessly y e t emphatically everybody, at least abnosf^vdr?- body, got a lesson in, what elec­ tricity means in their lives. The Dayton Power and Light company which deserves its* high rank as a service corporation of the most superlative character as to equip­ ment, personnel and desire to serve, could have found no way to get the people to understand their dependence on electricity half so effective as it unluckily did find. Mysteriously the power went off about two hours. Al­ most everything from diapers to driers and from cooks was para- driers was paralyzed. Stories told of dilemmas in which people were caught will be fo r weeks. We had known, of course, that we depend on elec­ tricity, hut as the poet said, “it it is only in the moment of part­ ing that we look into the depths of love,” We didn’t know how much we depend on it until we discovered we didn’t have any- KILLING THE GOOSE In case of the black diamond that has been the golden egg to a multitude of people for several generations, there are cetrtain goose-killing evidences. Very few things are necessary. People have been irritated into proving that coal is not necessary. I f John L. Lewis thinks it is he must be blind to what has been going on around the country. The domestic market is all but gone, compared to what it was only a few years ago. When anthracite miners got uppish some time ago, believing that New York ana Philadephia couldn’t exist without hard coal, they awoke to a bitter realization that most of the market was gone. Finding ways around a sit­ uation is a favorite American pastime. Killing the goose and losing the golden egg is a very easy thing to do. GOT A TRILLION ON YOU? I f you've got a trillion on you —a billion billion that is— Uncle Sam would like to have one-quar­ ter of it. That’s what Uncle Sam owes on all counts—or that is what yon and I owe, bringing it down to this corner of Greene county. Uncle Sam’s promises to pay are going to come due very shortly now, and how do you and I, as Unde Sam, propose to meet the obligations? It’s going to take billions and billions and billions—mqre ciphers than a linotype in this newspaper office has mats for, with figures in front of the ciphers! I f you know how this is going to he handled you are going to be in great de­ mand, for you are the only per­ son who does! And you are going to be needed, JIM TAKES A WALK Jim Kemper, Van W-ert’s g ift to Chicago and the insurance world, has taken a walk from the GOP national .committee job as treasurer. He said he would if the reserve fund got below $125,000, and it went to $90,000. Kemper says that what the GOP needs is not money — what it needs is issues, candidates who stand squarely on those issues with no “me too” compromise with crack­ pot platform policies of the long­ haired boys with Groton accents. NO TAKERS YET So fa r (unless it happened be­ tween the time this was written and printed) no takers have been found to oppose Senator Taft in his stand for re-election in 1950. Nobody wants* to wear the brand of support,of the opponents to the senator's re-election, much as any one.would like to have the votes. Nothing is as encouraging to. Mr. T if t and his ardent ad­ mirers as^the fact that nobody so fa r cai|,be found who will risk running against him. DIFFERENT KINDS Two willing candidates for GOP nomination for governor of Ohio either have their hats in the ring or are holding it nervously trying to decide when to toss it. in. Jim Rhodes, Columbus’s glib- tongued mayor, is making the rounds of service clubs and pub­ lic gatherings making speeches. Likewise Don Ebright, the fair­ haired hoy who out-crowed the DEVOTIONAL R EAD IN G : I P e te r Sr 19-25. * SC R IP T U R E : Isaiah 42:1-4; 50: 4-0; 52:13-53:12; Jerem ia h 38:1-13. L o v e S © A m a z i n g Lesson for November 33, 1949 L ONG AGO riding in, his' slow chariot through the southern sands, a puzzled reader with Isaiah 53 in his hands asked the question other readers have asked ever since: Does the prophet speak of himself or of some other? The answer given by Philip i(see Acts 8) has •been the answer of *lhe church ever since: This prophe­ cy can be under- ,stood only in the •light f r o m Cal­ vary’s Cross. Phil- <ip did not say, and ’we need not insist, 'that the prophet had Jesus, and Jesus only, in mind when he wrote. What we do say is that while these words might have described some one the prophet knew, might have described the whole nation of Israel, might even have described himself, still the words make but a poor picture of any one else, com­ pared with the picture they make of Jesus. • • • T h e S c a r le t Th read r sAIAH 53 has been in the center of the church’s thinking about Christ from the beginning. It may be said to run like a scarlet thread through the New Testament. It was in the back of the minds of Paul and John and Peter alike. This great prophecy sheds a light on 'what otherwise had been a black opaque blot—the death of Christ. What would otherwise be . simply a horrible tragedy, per- : haps the greatest tragedy of history, the perfect case of complete injustice, the final evidence that there is no God, In the light ef Isaiah 53 be­ comes a center of glory. Instead of being ashamed of the cross on which Jesus died, the church sings, “In the cross of Christ I glory,” . „ . “Love so amazing; so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.” * We believe that Christ suffered not for his own but for others' sake. Suffering, not forced but willingly undergone, suffering not as mere pain but that others might be saved, suffering on behalf of others ,and for love of them—this is the key to the riddle of existence, this Is, the key to the heart of God. • * • Not Christ Alone X ’ F CHRISTS MEN had refused to follow where he led, if all Chris­ tiana had been willing to let him ■carry, alone, the burden of the world’s sin and grief, there never twould have been any Christianity— 'for there would never have been any Christians, Peter and James ^and the rest of the apostles would have refused to die for Jesus’ sake, p ie noble army of martyrs .would have been an ignoble army of ’cowards. ! No missionary ever would have left home tod comforts and coun­ try; no mother would have laid -.down her life for her children; the unselfish service of those who have jeared for the sick and the orphaned would never have been done; in­ deed, had no one ever been willing to suffer for the benefit of others, one wonders whether the world .could have even held together this long, I Christ died jh»t the world . might live, yes; but others also had to die to make his death avail. He died for Africa, that Africans might live; but Afrl- i cans died till men like Living­ stone and Schweitzer and many ; a less famous man and woman also went out. and lived there ■ In loneliness and died In pain, ; Christ died for the little children ■of the poor, but until the Salvation Army and others like them went down into the slums and suffered there with and for them, those poor little people died without so much as dreaming that God might love them. * Christ died for all the lepers in the world; but until a Father Da­ mien, and others no less Christ- like, went among the outcast lepers and became outcasts themselves for the love of Christ, those lepers died in the dark. “L e i Him Take t His Own Cross Daily* j .V E S , Isaiah 53 pictures the self- •A sacrifice of our Lord, above all. •But any one who has any Intention of being a true servant of God must . be willing to find his own life-direc­ tion right here. The world does not need more pain; it does need those ’who will suffer pain to serve others In Christ’s name. 1 (Copyright by the International Coun- $R ot ReUgiotu Education on bwhali oi 1 * 2 . denomination*.

On arriving a t Columbus the class hastened to Montrose Stu­ dios, anxious to complete the business of posing for the pho­ tographer. Bv 1:30 the last pic­ ture had be<yi “shot" and the party was ready for lunch. A point o f interest that they visited was the A. I . U, building where they -urchased souvenirs and also had a splendid view of a large part of Columbus. An in­ teresting nastime proved to be riding the escalators a t Lazarus’ (“Seniors?” vou ra.w ask !). Some of the girls who were for­ tunate to have extra shopping monev shopped, while others re­ sorted to window-shopping. By the middle of the afternoon, tired and weary seniors began re­ turning to the bus one by one. With everyone tr-ing to giv.e an account of his day, the bus was a perfect babble of confusion. By 3:50, the time for leaving, on­ ly one senior wag on the missing list——Jack Irvine. Mr. Guthrie started to hunt fo r him which proved successful. The return trip was for the most part uneventful. So ended another perfect day in our senior history. * . Senior Get Name Cards _ The Senior Class received their name cards last Thursday. The printing on some cards was in gold, others in black; some of the cards were decorated with a blue feather. Chemistry Class Secs Movie The Chemistry class recently saw a movie entitled, “Chemistry of Fire.” From this film we learn­ ed that there are three elements needed in order to start fire. They are: Oxygen, to support the burning, fuel (vapor), and the ignition point. These must be joined in a triangle before a fire can materialize. Three methods were shown for extinguishing fire: The use of foam, fog, steam and carbon di­ oxide. “Sadie Hawkins' Dance” “Cedar Patch” was the appro­ priate name given to the high school auditorium where the “Sadie Hawkins’ Dance” was held Tuesday evening, sponsored by the senior class.’ Decorations o f green and brown were used. Dancing provided entertain­ ment for the guests. After the Grand March, refreshments of cider and cookies were served by the host committee. About one hundi’ed high school pupils and their guests enjoyed the party. Hog Prices Average $17.85 ment of agriculture relayed to Joseph B. Mason, Greene county PMA chairman, announced aver­ age prices for hogs at $17.85 per hundred. This compares with the hog support guide for the same seven mid-west markets of $16.- 65 for the week. The guide for the week. Novem­ ber 5, is $16.25, Chairman Mason points out, adding that the sup­ port level will continue to drop seasonally a t about 40 cents a week until December. FINGERS NIPPED John J . Martin, Port William neighborhood farmer, had the bones broken in the little finger of his left hand when he sought to adjust a moving corn picker. Farmer Charles R . Ely, who lives near greenfield, lost the end o f the ring finger of his right hand similarly the same' day. STILLSHININGINADARKENEDWORLD Granlland Elec The Master Swimmer T w en t y - f i v e y e a r s ago i saw Paavo Nurmi run in the Olym­ pic Games at Paris, He was some­ thing to see—-just as Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey were. You knew you were‘looking at the master— a run­ ner good enough to win from the mile to the 10,000 meters. “I felt the same way when I saw Furuhashi swim,” Bob Kiphuth of Yale told me. “1 ■i felt as if I were H looking at another Nurmi — 'another master.” “I understand the new Japanese swimming rec­ ords may force a change in swim­ ming style and form,” I said to Kiphuth, one of the greatest physical condition­ ers of all time. “That isn’t quite the* way it is,” Yale’s director of athletics said. ’“Furuhashi is another Nurmi — another Ruth—another Cobb—far above the mass. You can’t make rules for a genius.” “Here are some of the perti­ nent facts,” Kiphuth continued. “Furuhashi is now 21 years of age, Is a junior this year and has another year to go at Nip­ pon university in Tokyo. He started to swim when he was eight years old, was an out­ standing school-hoy competitor and many of his records are still on the books. Daring the war he was in war industry and as soon as it was over and pools were available, he started his practice again. “With maturity, he has gained terrifically in power and skill with a great determination to be the world’s outstanding swimmer, HqW he has succeeded is clearly shown Ln tlie results of his swimming the past two or three years. “In the summer of 1848 on the same day of the finals in the 1,580 meters event at the' Olympic games in London, Hironoshln Furuhashi in the Japanese consolation m e e t turned in 18:37.0 against the Olympic time of 19:18.0. This particular race was a ding- dong battle between Furuhashi and Sliiro Hashizume. The pic­ tures show there was never more than a stroke separating these two boys, and Furuhashi fiually won by 7/10 of a sec­ ond.” > * 4 * “ time Borg’ s Great Swim "One of the great swims of all times was Arne Borg’s 1500 meter’ 3i the European championships in; Bologne In 1927, Borg in that race, iwam about one minute faster than ae had ever done before, and he aever came within a minute of that ; time afterwards. It was truly one; it the most astounding athletic per-J tormances of all time in swimming. > “When the Japanese came to great swimming power in the late twenties and early thir­ ties, they went after that 19:07 plus record, trying to break the mark. K have seen them over and oyer again on my visits out there try to do the job, but t h e y a l w a y s missed by about two seconds because Borg with a very erratic pace, cut his lap time down after 900 meters and started to go even faster. In the natural process of deceleration, any advantage the Japanese had piled up at - that point was slowly lost and by the end of the race the Jap­ anese had lost out, too. “However, in 1938, Amano finally cracked the Borg record by doing 18:58.8, so it was really amazing In 1948 when Furuhashi turned in 18:37.0. He also bettered the world time for the 400 meter and 800 meter events during the same sum­ mer. “Nevertheless, we were not pre­ pared for what he did in Los An­ geles this past month. His 1,500 meter was 18:19.0 and he also went under his marks in the 400 and 800 meters, and was anchor man in the 100 meter relay, swimming his -200 meter leg in record time. He vir- :ually threw the record book in middle-distance swimming right jut the window, and it reminded me so very much of the middle- distance running of the Finns, espe- jially Nurmi, iir the Paris Olympic Games in 1924! - “In doing this, Furuhashi has aroused a great deal of comment because of his un­ orthodox style. He has developed tremendous facility in the water and is really the only person who can swim the Furuhashi stroke. He is quite or­ thodox, In a sense, in his arm stroke, but in his leg kick he uses a six-beat rhythm and only kicks three or four beats In each style, dragging his legs the rest of the time-. However, the beats that he docs use are executed with a snap which gives him tremendous pro­ pulsion power.*' These observations from Bdb‘ Kiphuth should help clear up the many rumors about form.
