J L d iio r ia l REVIVALS , i With the same enthusiasm that marks all their other activities students in two colleges have staged religious revivals. A t Wheaton College* an Illinois in­ stitution with tradition and ex­ perience and recognition as its- heritage, the students held a re­ vival lasting several days. Down south another well-known college held a revival lasting several days. Down south another well- known college held a similar re­ vival. Many o f us believe the young folk have found the ans­ wer to the world's problems— the religion of Jesus Christ. AN OPPORTUNITY It is helpful to remember that the Red Cross gives everybody an opportunity to help in situa­ tions where otherwise he could be able to help at all. Remember this — — --------- You do not give to the Red Cross; you give THROUGH it. THIS SOLVES IT In the furor about “ Stromboli,” the Ingrid Bergman _picture, it should be noted that it is a poor picture. That ought to handle the problem- o f whether it should be shown or not. Folks won't like it anyhow. UNLIMITED Over the country there i3~ a new organization called “ Free­ dom Unlimited.” Folks who con­ sider a land o f opportunity, with individual enterprise its strong point are fostering it. To con­ tinue America must have freedom unlimited. DISTANCES George Washington, who by the way was a great athlete, won lasting fame by throwing a dol­ lar across the Potomac river. Present-day congressmen at least outdistance him by throw­ ing: dcdlp-s across both: oceans. NO WORRY It might explain the people’s amazement about Truman not, worrying about the coal crisis. Washington B. C. always has plenty o f gas. INSPIRATION Congressman Brown g o t / his picture in a magazine for publicly suggesting that Franklin D. Roosevelt,' Jr., could get a better understanding o f his duties as a congressman by attending ses­ sions o f congress than by spend­ ing his evenings in New York night clubs. „ SUICIDE A student o f government and world history once said, “ A de­ mocracy always commits suicide.’’ Americans have been handed the weapons o f democratic suicide over the past 17 years. Benjamin Franklin warned early Amer­ icans o f the necessity o f viligance in preserving a republic when he told on inquirer who had asked at the close o f the constitution­ al convention, “ What have you given u s? ” that “we have given you a republic, if you can keep it.” The chief weapon fo r suicide o f a democracy is a central govern­ ment that assumes all the power. FIGURES As A l Smith used to say, “ Let’s look at the record.” Right now the government o f the United States owes very close to 257 bil­ lion dollars. In 1949 as a business USA ran behind close to 4 bil­ lion, dollars. Proposed pensions o f $100 a month to all citizens over 65 would cost right now over 13 billion dollars and by 1975 would cost close to 24 billion dol­ lars. Your share o f the present program would be $150 and more and by 1975 your 3hare would be over $220. WOMEN DRIVERS A favorite joke is on the wo­ man driver, but it’s a poor joke that won’t work both ways. Statistics show that women are less frequently in accidents than men. .Reducing it to specific fig ­ ures, men drivers were violating traffic regulations 01 per cent of the time, to women’s 57 per cent, in the study o f accidents in 1947. This will produce a lot o f “ I told you so’s.” NEW DANCE A new dance is called the huck- le-buckle, which gives a fellow a crick in his back to say it. Suggestion: I f you get tired o f modem stories, poorly" told and fu ll o f filthy words and scenes, try the Bible fo r the best writ­ ten and most exciting stories o f all literature. Why did. We ever let “ profit” become a nasty word in a coun­ try that was founded on a profit lass? A new “ Brannan plan” is to give surplus potatoes, that the government has bought to keep prices up to Maine producers, to Indians, schools and welfare agencies. Brother Brannan has $342 million worth on hand you know. SCRIPTURE; Acta 18:Z—30:23: Er*- *^?EVOTIONAl. READING: Isaiah 55: 8:13. Based Operations Lesson for March 5, 195# T HERE IS NO RULE in the Bible forbidding Christians to have common sense. You are not sup­ posed to lay aside your mind when you become a Christian, This has had many illustrations: let us take Ephesus for one. Put yourself, in imagination, back to the first Christian century. Ask your­ self: Where can we start a church where it will do t h e most good? Where can we put a church that will spread o u t , one that is sure to have d a u g h t e r - churches? Where ®x" Foreman can we reach people of in­ fluence? Where can we locate a church where it is certain to be heard of? As your1eye ranged over a map of the Empire, you would have lighted on Ephesus as the very place. It was a true capital, not a merely political one: • * * Strategy TT was a master-stroke, selecting • Ephesus as a base of operations. It made possible the rapid spread of the Christian faith into the prov­ ince of Asia. The decision to plant a church there had been matched by other strategic decisions in Christian history since then. One of these was founding the church in Rome. That was an even greater city and capital than Ephesus, and It has lasted much longer. If the Christian church had been content to be provincial, all right for the smaller towns but afraid to tackle the big ones; if the early church had feared to seat itself in Rome, the whole history of Europe would have been different. When the Roman Empire crumb­ led, as in time it did, the church rose on its ruins and took its place as the great civilizer of Europe, the strong force that kept a con­ tinent from decay for nearly a thousand years.•< * • Our Ancestors F ROM THE DAYS of the early Roman church there comes a well-known story which may be true. In the slave market at Rome the Pope saw some handsome small boys, whiter than the aver­ age Roman, for sale. Who are you? he asked. “ Angli,” they said—Ang­ les, from far-off marshes along the North Sea. No, smiled the Pope, who was a bit of a punster, you are too good looking for that; “ Non Angli sed Angeli,” not Angles but Angels. Anyway, the church did send some missionaries to far-away Anglia and elsewhere in Northern Europe. It turned out to be another strategic base of operations. Even­ tually France and Germany and England and the other countries in that part of the world were con­ verted to Christianity. The time came when those very nations took the lead in moving'into the rest of the world, into the western hemi­ sphere, “ down under” to Aus­ tralia, even into Africa. Where they went, they carried their relig­ ion with them. Suppose the church bad not : thought our ancestors worth * converting? Suppose all the colonizing movements of the 16th and following centuries bad been waves of sheer pa­ gans? It is not mere racial pride to say that the sending of missionaries to those savage peoples of northern Europe was one of the most stra­ tegic moves ever made by the Christian church.• • • And Today? r E CHURCH has not always been smart. Sometimes we have missed the boat. There have been strategic centers we might have occupied—and did not. There was a time, for instance, when Russia, that mighty nation, was open to Christian teaching. Many who knew that country were saying about 1918 that it was pos­ sible to capture that land for Christ, But the Christian church was little interested , . . and now Whatever Christianity is there has to stay underground. Farther east, our ewa Gen­ eral MaoArtbur has been call­ ing for missionaries te Japan, thousands of them. Japan I s " wide open to Gospel today as never before. But where are the missionaries? Going ever In driblets: Whenever Christianity has seen a strategic point and taken it, fu­ ture generations have been blessed; whenever we miss our chance, fu­ ture generations will wonder how we could have been so blind.

BROWNWrites, W i t h a B u c k e y e I n C o n c r r s s s New War Stars Foreign Aid Administrator Paul Hoffman and Secretary of State Acheson spent most, o f last week co Capitol Hill urging that Congress appropriate $3 biV lion 200 million to finance the European Recovery Program during the coming fiscal year. They argued the money is need­ ed to stop the spread of commun­ ism in Europe, but it is noted' that Great Britain will again get the largest amount of aid given, anyone nation'—nearly one-fourth o f all foreign aid—or $687 mil­ lion. Veteran Congressmen, are noting that, as the time approach­ es to voote on requested appro­ priations for foreign aid and mil­ itary spending, another war scare has again developed. In the past annual war scares have always died down quickly once Congress voted the money re­ quested by the Administration. Whether the cry of “ Wolf" ■will work again this year remains to be seen. For New Homes The House Committee on Bank­ ing and Currency last week fav­ orably reported a bill to author­ ize between two and three billion dollars o f Government, loans, to cooperatives fox* the construction o f homes for the middle Income group, on a forty ,to sixty year repayment basis at three per cent interest. A t present Veteran Ad­ ministration loans for home con­ struction to veterans .carry four per cent interest, while, the Fed­ eral Housing Administration un­ der-writes and insures loans to the general public fo r home con­ struction at a foui* and one-half per cent rate. Both classes of loans are limited to not more than a twenty-five year period, however. Frizzed Out A Senate committee hearing on the proposal to create a World State, to which his and other na­ tions would surrender their sov­ ereignty, fizzled out badly last week. National veteran organiza­ tions and other patriotic groups opposed the proposal as imprac­ tical, and as one which -would eventually destroy all our hard- earned American liberties of free­ doms. .Lilienthal Out David Lilienthal, long a contro­ versial figure within the govern­ ment, stepped out as Chairman o f the Atomic Energy Commis­ sion last week. He has been suc­ ceeded by Sumner Pike, a new England Republican. A t the time Lilenthal was named Chairman o f the Atomic Eenergy Commis­ sion there was a long controversy in the Senate over confirming his appointment. Want Conference There is a growing sentiment throughout the United States, and other countries, that the time has come fo r world confer­ ence on bringing an end to the present armament race between the East and West, and ta pro­ hibit or place restrictions on the use o f atomic and _ hydrogen bombs. Britain’s Winston Church­ ill is one of the leaders in this ef­ fort. New Witness A forty-one year-old Pitts- bugh insurance salesman, who as an agent of the FBI joined the Communist Party in 1943, was the star witness before the House Un-American Activities Commit­ tee last week. He gave the Com­ mittee the names of many Com­ munists working in the Western Pennsylvania-Ohio area and prom­ ised to give further information next week. Telephone Strike The nation-wide telephone strike, scheduled for last week, has been postponed for at least sixty days while Federal media­ tors attempt to work out a set­ tlement of the Labor—manage­ ment disputes involved. As this column is being written the coal strike continues, with rumors- current that the Northern coal operators and the Miners Union are near a settlement of their disputes. There is a strong de­ mand that the Truman Adminis­ tration proceed with further court action under the Taft-Hartley Act. I f that approach does not solve the problem it is entirely possible that the Congress may authorize Government seiziireland .operation o f coal mindfe. Bulgaria O a f The United States Government has officially broken o f f diplo­ matic relations with the Commun­ ist-controlled government o f Bul­ garia, which had demanded this country recall Minister Donald R. Heath. American officials de­ nounced Bulgaria’s accusation that Heath was a spy as patently false, and the whole affair as a part o f the Communist-propagan­ da campaign. TJ. S. officials are also greatly disturbed over the recent conviction o f an Ameri­ can business man on an espionage charge by a Communist- dpnffna- ted'Hungarian People’s Court. Ever notice* the ‘ ciphers are always attached to prize money, like $1,000.00? It’s the last two ciphers that most o f us axe fa ­ miliar witte" LAUSCHE VS. INGRID Governor Frank J.

Hank, as you may recall, is' the new gene ul manager of the Cleve­ land India.is. "I.only see one mistake in that ranking,” G’reenberg continued. “ The Indians will W i n the' pennant and the Red Sox and Yankees will have a good scrap for second place.” "No, I’m not kid­ ding,” he said. “ In the f i r s t place, Cleveland will have one .of th e best pitching staffs in Grantland Rice the league. Watch young Garcia this season. He will be one of the best in baseball. He was good last year but he will be even better this next season. Hooked up with Bob Lemon, we should have two of the best starting pitchers in-'baseball. Gene Bearden is back in condition again, and he will be just Us good as he was in 1948."Our staff will be much stronger than, it Was, even in the year we won the pennant. Bob Fel­ ler may not be the star he; was some years ago but he’ll still win - us a lot of games. “ The. infield starts off with Luke Easter, the big 6 foot 5, , 340-pound slugger, from the Pa­ cific coast at first. Here is a ballplayer who can even hit as hard as Babe Ruth once did. He has tremendous' power and I think you’ll find him a sen­ sation. Joe Gordon is far from- 'being through at second. “ This time Lou Boudreau will re­ port in shape. You might remem­ ber that a manager has less time to get. in shape than anyone else. ' I mean a playing manager. Last season . Lou put on around 15 pounds. He waited too long to work off this extra weight. So he opened the season much slower than usual.

Supreme Court Rules on Salaries Ruling on a case brought up from Lake county, the state su­ preme court has handed down a decision that members o f the county board . o f . elections may no*, collect increases voted in sal- , aides' during their j.erm -of o ffice .' The court rules that board of elections members are. “ public officers” under the law. Two Greene county members of the board of elections received $311.18 each under a ruling by Judge Johnson, last August, but it is believed that the action will not be construed to be in con­ flict with the higher court’s de­ cision on a later case. COUNTY UP 237% Greene county, listed as one of the medium sized industrial counties of Ohio, showed an in­ crease of 237 per cent in the val­ ue of its production from 1939 to 1947. bonds in Greene county during January totalled $100,824. Sales during January 1949 totalled $86, 118. Meanwhile, at Columbus, Lor- ing L. Gelbach, state volunteer chaizman, announced that 42 counties- last month exceeded sales for the same month of 1949 although the-state sales were un­ der 1949 January totals. Ohioans bought. $25,974,699 in January 1950 as' compared with $27,579,- 912 in 1949. BRIEF PARAGRAPHS There are.15360 drops of ,wa­ ter in a%quart of milk.

TAFT O NE of the favorite slogans of those/who are interested in establishing in this country a socialized state is “Social Insurance.” It has a’ friendly sound and is made to. look like a development of. one of the most typical features of a free economy. It has almost become a “virtue” word. As a matter of fact, it is one of the most effective weapons to turn over to the federal government a pre-^- dominate. power in the daily lives of our people. It is already in effect as Old Age and Survivors Insur­ ance. Ithas been approved by the. House of Repre­ sentatives for permanent dis­ a b ility . It is the first of the year. -When we' camp, Lou will be down to >his playing weight. “ Last year Larry Doby. fell off many points in his hitting. He’ll be back well over .SCOthis year. Doby i s ' a natural .330 bitter. So is Dale Mitchell, who reached .318 last season. And this isn’t counting in the rook­ ies we’ll have along. TVe have good material coming up and. unless both Yankees and Red Sox are much better than they were last summer, 3 can’t see either beating us out.” Hank Greenberg is a natural op­ timist anyway. He has full faith in the Indians to move up where they were in the fall -of 1948, which is in front. Hank is an extremely, able operator already, although still young at his new trade. He won’t do his ball club any harm. as the principal feature of the program to so­ cialize m ed ir cine. In Eng­ land it now cov­ ers every con­ tingency from the cradle to the •grave. The very term, however, is a* misrepresentation. It is not in­ surance, but rather a system of taxation to support a plan o f government payments to per­ sons who, at the time, are not earning those payments, It is not-insurance, because in­ surance is a voluntary contract. Social insurance is compulsory. It is not insurance, because insur­ ance is the payment of a sum which fairly represents the risk insured against, a plan by which a number of people, spread the risks of some type oi misfortune which may happen to some of them, or a plan by which one person spreads over a long period of time the risk of something which- may happen to him all at one time. * * * The Unworried Manager While inspecting .the various managers who have been in New York we-ran across the one and" only unworried leader.

The amount paid has only a remote relation, :f any, to the valuation o? the risk involved or to the service ultimately received. Thus, under the existing old age insur­ ance, persons may receive sub­ stantial pensions whose payroll taxes have lasted for only a short lime and persons in the U.200 income group get-much .more for their money than those in, the .?3 000 group. Under the eompul- »ary medical insurance,, a $3,000 man without a family- may pay ten times as much for his medical care as does the $1,000 man with a wife and three children. I am in favor o f the old age insurance plan. But we would do a much better job if we rec­ ognized that it is not insurance but a system of taxation to help suppertthe aged. The-same thing is true o f unemployment insur- - anee supported by a tax of 3 per cent of payroll. JJAYROLL taxes, in general, are passed on to the consumer and increase the price o f goods. This is certainly true of that portion paid by the . employer which be­ comes a cost of production for all those in the industry. It' is par­ tially true o f the portion paid by employees, because wage negotia­ tions are largely conducted <pn a take-home pay basis. The Jesuit is that the cost of these programs is a burden on the entire community, paid for the most part in higher prices for food and clothing and every other necessity. Every family in the land is taxed to make these payments. The total amount of these payments is already consid­ erable. The 1951 budget estimates pay­ ments under the old age insurance plan o f $2.3 biliion, under "unem­ ployment compensation of $1.5 billion, under other •retirement funds of another billion dollars, a total of more than $4.5 billion. If this is a tax, we have to consider how large a burden we can safely or properly place on people who are working, to support those who at the time are not paying, their, way. Furthermore, the idea of in­ surance usually involves a federal fund and so, as in the case of medi­ cine, it means not only the "social­ ization hut the nationalization of the me'dical care or the other free service, involved. Social insurance in some fields Las real merit, but it sliould. be recognized for what it is—•tax­ ation of the people" to provide great national services expend­ ing vast,sums o f money for those who, in'the past," have paid their ' own way.
