Jack Jordan, scribe fo r the county’s seat’s palladium of lib­ erty, and “ Bud” Nelson, who may have some other name that no­ body ..knows, ure front-paging their way to present-minute fame. Sir Jackibus is .the Legion’s head man in his home town, and that’s no mean -honor. “ Bud” (I am corrected; his front name is Warren, as it should be, having a county named after him, or before him, as the case may be) has stepped into Frank Buck’s place and is busily engaged bringing ’em back dead- When the circus wagon turned turtle down on SR-48 and a leo­ pard, spots and all, rolled out, armed to the teeth, “Bud” put his nose to the ground, picked up the scent and was found a few minutes later standing with one foot on the dead leopard, and writing down fo r the Western Star and the dozen other papers that depend upon him for all the news from babies born that they know to escaped circus leopards, the exact details down to the number o f spots on the so-and-so. Will the congregation please rise, while we unite in singing, “ Awl Hale!” A WORLD’S RECORD History does not reveal an ex­ ample of a conqueror doing as magnificent work for the people who lost in a war as General MacArthur has been and is do­ ing in Japan. It is; a slow process. Revitalizing a war-tom. defeated; disaster-scarred nation is a Her­ culean task. It can not be done in a hurrg. It takes long-range planning and patient perform­ ance. There has never been as much progress made by a nation on a. come-back schedule as Japan Js making. The significant thing - it is the attitude o f the people towards the general and his program, and that the coun­ try and its people are progress­ ing towards a far better living standard and ideals t ban they had before the war is gratifying. SECOND STRINGERS Around Indiana one nears more and more about Wendell Willkie, II. .People are’ saying that he is a bright young man, destined to outstrip his famous father in re­ nown and achievement. You may remember that Franklin Roose­ velt, II, refused to debate with young Willkie saying, “ Why should I give that upstart nation­ al publicity by Jetting him debate with me?” To that, one o f the country’s best-known men retort­ ed, “Why should Willkie lower himself by debating with a Roose­ v e lt?” . . . And there is Herman Talmadge, the son of Georgia’s colorful governor. Georgians call him “ Hummon.” A candidate now . on ]jis own to fill an elective term, “ Hummon” is receiving national attention again. RELIGIOUS FEATURES American newspapers are buy­ ing ten times as many religious features as they formerly did. The circulation o f the Chicago Daily News rose 40,000 when it ran Fulton Oursler’s “ The Greatest Story Ever Told,” the Christ story . . . and it was the second time the newspaper had carried the fascinating feature. TESTIMONY Calling to the witness stand fo r expert testimony a man with the record o f Ear] Browder seems to us to be the height o f folly. I f there is anybody whose testimony would be 100 per c^nt worthless on any subject it would he Earl Browder. What a _travesty—ex­ pert testimony being given by Earl Browder! CAN’T. THIS BE DONE? Before the offical count is re­ ported it is agreed that there are about 150 millions of people in •the USA. Most o f them are right nice folks. Capable. Loyal. De­ pendable, American. Why can’t we have government employes a- hout whom there is no question as to loyalty? MONEY FOR SPAIN News from Washington, is a- stounding—a loan to Franco Spain was voted down! Imagine Washington voting down a loan of- any kind to anybody! Won't somebody please wake uS from ' this nightmare we are having! MORALE’ S DIRECTION Grove Patterson, editor of the Toledo Blade, world traveler and philosopher, says that morale al­ ways trickles down from leader­ ship, never oozes up from those ^ho follow. Hence the necessity o f intelligent leadership. .UNIVERSAL TEST V .jp * ’ a . philosopher says that the im t t o t r 't ’REV. ROBHiTH HARPER REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Church Organization and Leader­ ship Acts 6i 1-6; 20: 17-18, 28; I Cor­ inthians 12: 27-28 Memory Selections II Timothy 2: 15 WHE PRESENT LESSON shows * the origin of church organiza­ tion and leadership, a: matter that Jesus left to the disciples. Seven deacons were chosen (Acts 6: 1-6) to have charge of the tem­ poral needs of the people. The high: character required of them should w> considered by present- day churches. Too often those who are not spiritual men are chosen because they are successful in their own business, or because of their prominence in the communi­ ty. * Elders and bishops are men­ tioned (Acts 20: 17-10, 28), and it appears that they ware the same. They were charged "to feed the church o f the Lord.” They were superior to deacons and. their work was primarily spiritual. Divergence of opinion as to the foregoing has brought about the several types of churches. Some hold to the presbytery, group of elders or presbyters, in the gov­ ernment of the church. Others are organised about bishops. Some re­ gard the elder as the highest order in the church. Some regard a bishop as an elder elected to high office, but not to a superior order of the ministry: Still others re­ gard the bishop a separate order. Let us realize that, in any kind of church organization, there is ample room for the service of men of divers gifts, who make up the "body of Christ,” in the kingdom of God. authorizing him to name the full membership of a special commit­ tee to investigate crime in the United States.

When the measure left the house toward th.e end of last year’s session, it carried a total appropriation of about $1.15 bil­ lion. The senate increased the au­ thorization over $600 million, and then a conference committee cut the increase down to $350 million, or to a total authorization of $1.5 billion. However, the’ measure still called for such heavy ex-, penditures and contained so much with the cost of living. This is one of the reasons why industrial workers today are demanding private pensions in much larger sums. - The new bill Increases these payments.

So every time the older Mr. Campbell went to see his sister, he talked war, disaster, and left her in a ndiserable state. , One day when W illiam Campbell went w ith h is father to see his aunt and sister, he called his father’s attention to how unhappy the woman had become. The father said he had noticed it. Then said the son, “ Y ou add to it every time you go over and repeat the miserable predictions you have heard.* He says his father was surprised, but pondering it a moment, he admitted that he believed this to be true.

However, the tax- p. yers, who will foot the. bill for the president’s 'trip, seemingly fail to see the humor in the situ- Besides increasing benefits, the hill extends the coverage oi. the contributory system to about < eight million .people not -now covered and makes insurance available to thdte much more- quickly. Thus the committee includes so- called self-employed persons, oth­ er than farmers, 'of -whom there are four or five million, retailers, service operators, insurance and professional mea and many oth­ ers.. The committee decided to in­ clude employees of non-profit,or­ ganizations although it is to be at the option of religious organiza­ tions whether they and their em­ ployees are covered. If they do come in, they have- to pay the whole tax, instead of only the em­ ployee .paying the tax as under the House bill. The committee also included about 900,000 farm work­ ers who are permanently located. State and local government em­ ployees, however, cannot be in­ cluded if they have a retirement system of their own. About a mil­ lion and a half state and local gov­ ernment employees who do not have an employment system can be included if the state so desires. TUTY OWN opinion is that the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Fund and the payroll tax support­ ing it will finally:Be made univer­ sal, with a minimum payment to all persons, augmented by their* wage credits acquired as at pres­ ent. This would enable the Fed­ eral Government to discontinue its contributions to old age assistance, leaving the states to take care of these needy for whom the federal minimum is insufficient. The House bill Increased by about $259 million federal pay­ ments to states for' old age as­ sistance, aid- to dependent chil­ dren and support, of the blind. •’ This would have to be paid out of general taxes, and the Senate Committee could see no reason why we should increase the huge federal deficit at this time and re­ duce the contributions of states which today are relatively sol­ v en t An increase of about $50 •million is allowed, however, for -aid to dependent children and for appropriation to state-federal pro­ grams to promote maternal and child health a.id to crippled chil­ dren and child.welfare. 1.

But how can a mother keep a neat house without having to be constantly, yipp'ing at the chil­ dren, "Pick that up! Clean up this mess!” One mother managed it by enlisting the help of the whole family. Together, they made a study of the spots in the honse where “ junk” JosSf naturally seemed to collect for -all the , world to- see—and proceeded to eliminate them. The restilt has ! been a much more peaceful ! family life all around and, amaslngiy enough, the children j have a spirit of tidiness their ! parents never dreamed they ' ' had. Here’ s how this family went about reformation: The first step was to see that each of the three children had places of study, with good light, drawer and shelf space This eliminated living and dining robms becoming study-and-clutter areas. The next step was to make the enclosed, heated sun porch off the dining room into the children’ s sit­ ting room rather than a general family room. Here they have their own radio-phonograph (secondhand but adequate) and their stacks of hair-raising records. Here they have an outsized low table, strong­ ly reinforced to allow sitting upon, painted black and waxed highly to a hard finish that doesn’t show marks. There’s a couch and. easy chairs to give each child a com­ fortable reading place where he can sit on bis feet, munch pop corn, peanuts and apples, and swig milk and soft drinks without a single “ don’t” from parents. This leaves the living teem strictly for adults or whole ?am- Ily gatherings—a room in which general l o a f i n g , munching, toughhousing and “ taking over” by the young are strictly for­ bidden. This Mother and Dad say it’ s wonderful! The next attack in this new plan for family living was upon the “ junk gatherers”—the table tops and shelves which presented temp­ tations to the children to dump their belongings after school or play. The front entrance hall had a cov­ ered radiator which offered a splenr did place, for unloading school- books, caps, mittens and such mis­ cellany, The “ don’t” was removed simply and easily by removing the temptation. The shelf now holds a large driftwood and. philodendron plant arrangement. Now the en­ trance hall stays neat and unclut­ tered, for there just isn’ t any place to dump. Ih Short, by removing the availability of the living room as a dumping place and by handicapping convenient table tops and shelves in hall and dining room, It’s practically impossible for the children to drop belongings any place but where they belong—in their own rooms, in the kitchen closet (now equipped with coat hang­ ers) or. in their sitting room. „ Part of Ihp whole scheme is the way the^children have become more inspired toward neatness after seeing how pleasant their parents’ orderly quarters can be.
