Editorial REFLECTIONS Sometimes, not fo r publication, we have a feeling, somehow, we could get along without John L. Lewis! . . . Do you suppose eyebrows would burn? . . • How’s that? “ They’ll burn, all right!” “ Judge not, that you be not” —out of coal, brother! « Even after an unequaled beauti­ fu l fall that extended a month be­ yond its almanacal limit, some" folks growl when It gets chilly. „ The government has ordered a toothpaste company to stop cer­ tain claims it has been making fo r its products. But that doesn’t bother a lot o f people who use Lewis lye to soak theirs in over night. . . Greene county’s federal roads have been paths fo r return ing hunters from Pennsylvania with antlered results slung over the automobile hood and fenders. Cows, mistaken for deer, are sel­ dom brought home with such a public demonstration. . .As usual, our folks o f Greene county got some top honors at the Interna­ tional show at Chicago. We were expecting that. ^ CURING COLDS Tim people are being full-pag­ ed with information about a new cure fo r colds. Medicos_ disagree violently about the merits of the new drugs. They seem to agree that they are sniffle-stoppers but argue about the effects on other tissues and organs. A long time ago two sure-cuves fo r colds were presented -to a sneezing pop­ ulace. (1) Go to bed, get a doc­ tor, take medicine, rest up and be well in two weeks. (2) Don’t do anything at all, and be over it in M days! THE BUREAU SPEAKS The head o f the national farm bureau federation sets his foot down and raises his voice against the government guaranteeing farmers a profit. In a very logic­ al address before the Ohio farm bureau meeting Allan B. Kline declared the police “ leads to sta­ bilized mediocrity.” It stifles in­ dividual enterprise and singles out one industry from others to insure its prosperity. This is a declaration o f faith o f the most far-veachmg effect. BRANNAN’ S PLAN It develops, as was foreseen by many, that the “ Brannan plan” was merely a trial balloon by the administration. The inexperienc­ ed Brannan took over the task of selling the country the ideas in the scheme that carries* his name, but not his sincere indorse­ ment. Farmers are scorning the “ plan,” and economists label it socialistic. And besides, it won’t work! Business has shied fronr it, and farmers are openly opposing it. HOARDED RICHES With a!I the gold you have bur­ ied in Kentucky and nowdered eggs hid in caves in the west, and wheat by the shipload in about every port, and bins bustin’ with §1.4-1 corn down by Xenia, you're pretty rich, know that? Mind writing in and telling us what you plan to do with your wealth —leave it to your children? We were afraid of that! A DISCOVERY Secretary o f State Sawyer (Charlie to us neighbors) made a 13,000-mile tour o f the Rand- McNally Exhibit A , came back and reported to his chief that the people want taxes lowered. With travel costs _like thev are, it looks like this information could have been obtained a lot cheaper by writing a postcard or two. AGE OLD YEN Something for nothing is live bait to catch votes. It’s been used since Ham and Shem ran on op­ posite tickets as animal keeper for their Pa on the ark. The idea has destroyed every nation that tried it. Staunch people want a government they can do some­ thing for, not one that can do something fo r them. THEY SPLASH IT Judging the future by the past, as the patriot said he knew only how* to do it, we suggest that Al­ ger His3 take o ff that broad- brimmed hat he wears in the pic­ tures. The whitewash all his ilk gets will mess it up. WE’RE USED TO IT It’s the old squeeze play, one Roosevelt running for office in Ne\v York and; tlje other in Cali­ fornia. But if there is anything we’re used to by now it’s a Roose­ velt squeeze play. THE DEFICIT The administration plays a- Tqund with billions like kids play . with marbles, and the trouble with the system is that it’s our marbles and the game is for keeps. SPEAK UP.

DEVOTIONAL READ ING ; Psalm 51: 1-13. Personal Religion Lesson for December 11, IMS E l e c t r ic it y was discovered, long ago, but there are millions of people today who never use It and don’t know anything about it. Modem plumbing has been in use ever since most’ of us were bom; but most human be­ ings still walk for their water instead of getting it from pipes. All inven­ tions take quite a while to get around- So it is in the realm of the spirit. Jere­ miah the prophet. Dr. Foreman it has been said, is the “ man who discovered the in­ dividual.’ ’ But 2700 years after his' time, the individual needs redis­ covering. Even in the church, some people live and act as if Jeremiah’s discovery had never been made. • • * A Man Stands Alone ALTHOUGH JEREMIAH was a vfV priest and aristocrat by birth, his own class disowned him. The story in Jeremiah 26 shows dram­ atically why this was. He predicted doom for his nation, and since his own “ upper-bracket” people were the nation’s leaders, they con­ sidered Jeremiah’s attitude not only unpatriotic but a downright personal insult. If it had been left to the priests arid, the official prophets, the day of Jeremiah’s sermon at the temple would have been his last. To put it bluntly, the difference between Jeremiah and all the other “ prophets” and priests could be put this way: He knew the nation was too rotten to last, but they thought it was plenty good enough. ■ They probably could have agreed With him that a wicked nation ,de­ serves divine punishment; only they could see nothing wrong with Judah. * * * Religion by P roxy? *|tHEY were mistaken many ways. A Mistake number one: They thought the Temple, with all that went on in it, was: much more Im­ portant to God than it really was. The whole business—Temple, white- robed priests, chanting choirs, the burning of animals, the incense and the mystic lights—it had-be­ come in their eyes a sort of im­ mense good-luck charm. They thought: Surely God will not de­ stroy a city that contains this Temple! But Jeremiah saw through that mistake. Institutions, rit­ uals, organizations, ceremonies, sacraments, these are all simply means to an end, they have no value In themselves. Every­ thing we call “ public worship” is good only If and so far as it lifts and cleanses the spirits of the worhipers and brings them . nearer God. The most perfect and impressive worship, engaged in by those whose hearts are evil, beomes a blas­ phemy. A fine church is no substi­ tute for fine people. A beautiful worship program will not conceal from God’ s eye unbeautiful souls. Mistake number two: The priests and prophets supposed there was such a thing as religion by proxy. {They thought the priests by carry- Sng on their duties could take care tot the situation.• *■ • G od writes on the heart .jjrNOTHER MISTAKE made by those poor fools of false proph­ ets and priests was in supposing they hqd the Law of God, when all they hah w'as two tables of stone shut up in a box <1Kings 8:9). They were proud o f those tables of stone, they were the Commandments of God, and they were guarded most carefully in the Holy of Holies in the Temple. Surely, God would not destroy the city that possessed the Sacred Law! But Jeremiah knew better. In the Jong run, the only place the Law of God does real good is when it is written on the heart. In Jeremiah’s most famous pxepbecy (chap. 31) he looks forward to the day when God’s handwriting shall be not on tables of stone but on human hearts. That prophecy is being fulfilled day by day as persons turn thdr hearts to the Lord and open the book of their lives that God may write his laws there. Yet how many people have never learned this truth! Having a great tradition is good; owning and read­ ing the Bible is good; but it is net the Bible on the shelf that counts, not carrying a testament in the pocket, but the Word of God “ hid in the heart” of those who know, love and do what God desires. {Copyright by the International council © f Religious Education on behalf o f 40 Protestant denominations.

It’s enough to make on hon­ est man go out and get tight! Solution to Many Yule Presents To Be Found in Sewing Machine By Ertta Haley A RE THERE GAPS on your Santa Claus list, in spite of your most energetic planning? Has the budget turned out to be slimmer than your gift needs? You can find a wonderful solution to many gift problems in your sewing machine and the scrap bag. I f you’re looking for an attractive belt for a teen-ager, an extra spe­ cial needle case or pin cushion for Aunt Martha or perhaps an unusual looking sachet for fashionable friend Mary, chances are that you can find some decorative material from the family fabric scrap bag. Or, perhaps you're like a lot of other women who consistently go through remnant sales and find there are many pieces of material which look “ interesting” enough to pick up, and these are stored in a drawer. All these may be of value to create an array of dollar-wise gifts. So many people value the dis­ tinctiveness of a home-made gift that has thought and care sewed into It, that you need not be the least apprehensive about giving it. Study those to whom you’re giving gifts, and see if you can’ t come up with some clever and attractive idea that will mean so much more to them than a more expensive gift to be bought in haste and regretted all the next year. Homemakers Appreciate Household Gifts Friends of yours, married and single, who keep house even on a small scale, are easily pleased with any number o f items that can be whipped together in a jiffy. .Their hobbies and homes give you the key to their interests. Enchanting tea (and coffee) cozies are a speedy job on the sew­ ing machine and make a suitable Make clever gifts for Xmas . . . . gift for any woman who gathers a few friends together every after­ noon for chat and refreshments. Make the cozy in the shape of a cunning little cottage, using white cotton fabric for the frame of the house, green cotton for the roof. Doors and shutters can be appliqued with the sewing machine’s zigzag- ger attachment. A scrap of red cot- iit leisure time at borne. ton makes the. chimney that’s perched on top of the house. Another smart and practical type of tea cozy is the quilted version o f the flower-sprigged cotton that has lining and inner lining and cov­ er stitched together in one opera­ tion with the quilter attachment. Homemakers who are used to a weekly and semi-weekly washing Softer as to fabric, easier as to silhouette and generally new­ er and more feminine looking is tire bloused suit fashion. This Is the fashion which is rapidly becoming not only the estab­ lished style for the season but for Spring, as well. Soft-woven novelty tweeds, sheer woolens and ether fine fabrics with their drape and colors have added Impetus for this new mood in salts. Since the interest Is in the softly belted contonr of the blouse, skirts a r e simple, straight and shcath-likc. The style Is excellent for the slender figure of average to above* ’^average height. Youngsters' Defight Here are two endearing toys which you can turn out with the help of—your sewing machine and delight a child’s heart on Christmas morning. You’ll find your local sewing center full of suggestions on things to sew for this busy season and the scrap bag will offer limitless possibil­ ities for dressing stuffed dolls. would appreciate a clothes pin apron. This can be made ^pom a small scrap of sturdy cotton in a - solid color, with the waist band and the pockets trimmed in a con­ trasting floral print. . No one who keeps house can ever have enough pot holders. A set of two or three of these is easily stitched from gay materials. Or, if you prefer, put together some' quilted mittens that can be used for handling hot things about the ‘ kitchen. Floral sprigged prints are popular for the mitts, and the cuffs can be piped with a solid-colored matching material. Make Practical Gifts For the New Brides New homemakers are readily pleased when they think of things for their new homes. Since they're bound to be entertaining a lot, frilly hostess aprons are certain to, give them a glow of pleasure. .If you want to make the gift more elaborate^ make the half aprons match with a bridge and napkin set. Place mats and breakfast sloths are another of the great needs which brides usually have unless they were heavily “ showered” pre- nuptually. These may he simple, plain cottons with contrasting tape to bind the edges or floral plastic cloths that are so easy to wipe clean. Speaking of the plastics, closet accessories are another of the many items that might be appro-, priate. You can make a set of three or more envelopes of the material for lingerie cases. A sim­ ple gift would be a quilted plastic handkerchief or hose container into which you’ve tucked a sachet just to make them more interesting. Decorative towels for the kitchen take no time at all to sew and make a charming gift. Choose the gay florals, or use plain materials piped with contrasting trimming. With a little extra time to spend, you might even want to dress up these towels with applique®. Scrap Bag Yields Gifts for Young Fry Don’t think for a minute that yflfL. have to buy expensive and fancy toys for the younger set. One of the nicest gifts I’ve ever seen was made into a bunny from a piece of old terry toweling. This had a small zipper down the back so it could be easily whipped off for a tubbing. Overalls covered the bun­ ny and were made from a small scrap of red-and-white checked- gingham, with the bib outlined in blue bias tape. Soft toys such as these are espe­ cially good for young babies since they won’t hurt themselves, and of course, there’s no breakage for mother to clean. When made care­ fully, the clothes should come off easily for laundering instead; of be­ ing' sewed to the doll or animal. All sorts of dolls and animals may be made from scraps of mate- rials such as are found in any fab­ ric bag. Make your own patterns, or buy them -if you feel you lack inspiration. *. Little girls from six to eight and older will be particularly fond of you if you do something about re­ plenishing their doll’ s wardrobe. It’s easy enough to get the doll from the another for measurements and then to. make any number of dresses, bonnets, underwear, coats, blankets, etc. depending upon the extent of your gift. Bibs for babies will please new mothers, whether the child is teething or in the stage of learning how to eat. Terry cloth from an old towel*might be used, and trimmed with floral material. Plastic is good for such purposes too, and this is usually finished with bias tape. Teen-Agers Will Cherish These Kinds of Gifts Belts are the big rage among teen-agers right now. The gift that can be made in a twinkling is a button-trimmed grosgrain belt that can be worn with any party dress or as a glamor accessory for blou$a and skirt combinations. Plain, striped or polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon, ranging in widths from two to four inches can be used, T VISIT COUNTY HOME A group from the J-C organi­ zation in Xenia visited the coun­ ty home Thursday evening and cheered the inmates with some movies. WASHINGTON R E P O R T BY SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT W HAT are the basic principles of the Republican Party? Having been a minority party for 17 years, its record of accomplishment has necessarily been negative except for a brief period in the 80th Congress when most of the time was spent in clearing away the wartime controls .and taxes. Since, in 1950, the Republicans are again asking the people to return to it control of Congress, they S’1--------- -------------------------- - ------------ must emphasize the affirmative features of their program. The Republican party has always p r om o t e d the continuous eco­ nomic improve- m e n t o f t h e w o r k i n g man and woman and th e g r ea t m a ­ j o r i t y o f the p e o p le . It d id so by sup p o r t o f t he t a r i f f wh e n t a r i f f s were absolutely essential to pro­ tect new indus­ tries. It d id 'so by a sound fiscal policy and the gold standard from 1896 to 1912. It believes now that, if sound economic progress is to Le achieved, it can .only be accom­ plished by a constant increase in production and the productivity of the workman or farmer. It be­ lieves that such an increase can only be brought about by liberty of individual life, by liberty of men to work at their chosen occu­ pations at fair wages, by the lib­ erty of each businessman to run his ov/n business as he sees- fit so long as he does not interfere with ,the rights o f others to do the same. It believes in permitting an ade­ quate reward for hard work, abil­ ity, genius, and initiative. It is, therefore, opposed to ex­ cessive taxation and to govern­ ment interference with business through price-fixing, wage-fix­ ing, rationing or government competition. * * * I’PHE Federal Government should concern itself with l&ws and executive, action to prevent the destruction of business freedom through monopoly and unfair com­ petition. Furthermore, it must concern itself with the abolition of all special privilege for employers or employees and the maintenance of equality between business and labor in labor-management rela­ tions, as it has done through the Taft-Hartley Law. That law should be perfected and improved. Where -regulation is necessary to main­ tain liberty ,or equality, it should be done by definite laws, inter­ preted by courts rather than by the arbitrary discretion o f govern­ ment boards. le,. The Republican party insists on a sound basis of fiscal secur­ ity b y 'a balanced budget and a level of taxation which does not •deter business expansion as it has done in Great Britain. It is completely opposed to socialism as destructive of liberty and progress. Liberty must be the guiding principle of true progress in other fields. Since primary and second­ ary education are already the con­ cern of state and local govern­ ment, controls should never be concentrated at Washington, but the Federal Government can assist, particularly in making it possible for the poorer states to give a first-class education as proposed in the aid-to-education bill. * * * W fE should maintain a free medi- cal profession and local control of public health and medical care, but theFederal Government should assist with advice and research and by financial aid where prog­ ress is checked by the taxing in­ abilities of the states. The same kind of aid should be given to help states improve public welfare ser­ vices and housing. If we are going to have a-gov­ ernment in this country ruled by free people, however, there must be as little interference as possible with the right of local communi­ ties to run their own affairs, par­ ticularly in these matters of edu­ cation, health, welfare and housing, which can bring the Government in contact with every family in the land. We should recognize also that free government service ultimately deprives the recipient of liberty as well as initiative and self-reliance. As far as those who are unable to provide a minimum decent stand­ ard of living for their families, it is perhaps better to lose vsome liberty than to suffer exfreme hardship and poverty, but the Federal Government should not be interested in helping states give free service to those able to earn it for themselves. . If we can keep the under­ lying strefigth of a truly free people, there is no limit to. the extent to which our economic condition can he improved. But an economy controlled by gov­ ernment police methods offers a dead level of stagnation.
