Editorial SPRING IS HERE Weather prophets may guess wrong, though it is only when they do we speak about it; when they “ hit it” we merely frown at them. But the almanac can do no wrong. It knows when spring is here, even if March hasn't caught on yet. Those among you who have experienced a _ good many seasons merely smile at the neighbor who exclaims, “ Did you ever see such weather?” The pattern doesn’t change a great deal. TREE MOLASSES Maple syrup season in Ohio U picturesque enough to bring out magazine eovers and poems. Mak­ ing “ tree molasses” is a spring time enterprise with history and tradition back of it. Some “ sugar orchards” have gained fame for superior products. In the old days o f black kettles and wood fires beneath them, the skill o f the master of the art meant more than it does in the present with its temperature controls and au­ tomatic machinery. By the way, have you bought any “ tree mo­ lasses” this year? Word seems to have got round to the molass- es-er that there’s been a big war somewhere. A NEW NOTE There has been open season on college professors ever since USA became Communism consci­ ous. The hue and cry has been so pronounced that a teacher is on the defensive per se. That, o f course, is un-American. Under the constitution a person is in­ nocent until proved guilty. The University o f California’s facul­ ty took a bold, new step when it sc-t up its own un-American platform. No teacher with sub­ versive theories can have a job with them. The trustees, the pub­ lic and the watchdogs please take notice that they are scooped in the adoption o f a rigid Ameri­ can platform for teachers. YOUR BUDGET Your representatives in cong­ ress—the house appropriations committee — approved a deficit building expenditure o f §29,045.- 030,164 (when you pronounce it you start with billions}. That means $200 for every man, wo­ man and child in the nation. We thought you'd like to know in. order to get get ready to pay your $200, for you’ll have to . . . the kids, too. DEMOCRACY IS LIKE THAT Listening to the radio and read­ ing the papers may cause a cit­ izen to be alarmed about the criticism of public officials. But democracy is like that. Ever since there has been an American government open criticism of men in high places, denunciation of them, charges against them, have been going cn and will con­ tinue to. That is the American way. It distinguishes America from despotic government where the king" can do no wrong, and if a subject thinks he can he dare not say so. WATCHING HORSES Wash Fayette, columnist for the Record-Republican in neigh­ boring Washington C. H., con­ cludes a long column about spring time and horses with “ There’s a lot o f pleasure out at the fair­ grounds—why don’t you go out and watch the trainers getting their horses ready for the sum­ mer campaigns ahead?” And you’d suggest, Wash, eh, that if possible find a rail fence to sit on? FLYING SAUCERS The air force frankly express­ es scorn for flying saucers. There are no such things. Never have been. All the air force techni­ cians agree that the reports of seeing flying objects result from “ misinterpretation o f various conventional objects—a mild form of hysteria.” All the folks who have been so sure they saw them and ran screaming to the house and got under the bed are exclaiming, “ ’Taint so—we seen ’em!” INTERESTED IN TAFT Every Ohioan who meets a man "who does not live in Ohio is asked the same question: “ Are you going to re-elect Senator Taft?” Every one o f them hopes We do. It might help a good bit i f we Ohioans became as intares-, ted in the re-electidn o f the sen­ ator as folks outside Ohio are. They say there are 151 dif­ ferent taxes on a loaf o f bread > by the time it reaches the table. No wonder we have to soak the - etwsfc! Inch Smtioti t/REV. ROBERT H. HARPER f> BSV. KOBESTH. HABPEB The Church Suffering and Trt- 'tmpbant. Lesson for April 2: I Peter 4: 12- 13; Revelation 7: £>*17. Memory Selection: II Timothy 2: 12. »pHlS being Palm Sunday, It Is •** fitting that we consider the Church Triumphant. Peter writes " churches he had founded In Asia Minor of some fiery trial that had come upon them, or would come. And he exhorted them to stand firm in view of the blessings that would come to them in the better world. In Revelation we learn o f the heavenly glory in the great here­ after. As the inspired seer, St. John, looked off from Patmos, the tsle of his banishmnt, he saw the New Jerusalem, and a vast multi­ tude that no man could number, s t a n d i n g before the throne, clothed in white robes, with palms in their hands. What a Palm Day indeed! One of the elders told John that those arrayed in white robes had come out of great tribulation and had washed their garments white in the Lamb’s blood. And they served God in his temple. What a glorious thing to contemplate from the vantage of our imperfect world! When our trials have passed away, we can join in the service of praise, led by the four and twenty elders, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea. We cannot know just how heaven will be for us. If rc enough to know that its joys v i never end. The one thing is to make sure of going there, through faith in Christ. Let us strive to be worthy of a place In the innumerable multitude by washing our robes. With a Buckeye In Congress CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes By a 0 >vote margin the House last week knocked out of the Housing Bill the section provid­ ing $2 billion in loans to co-on- eratives at 8 percent interest. Tim Senate by a 5-vote margin pieviously eliminated the same section o f a similar bill. The iv - -. u.-.'wr of the Housing Bill, ap­ proved by the House, provides Government insurance fo r an­ other $2.75 billion in FHA mort­ gages; another $600 million o f insurance on FHA loans fo r apartment projects; authority to the RFC to purchase up to $750 million worh of home mortgages; for the sale of Government war­ housing to local governments and educational institutions; and fox- extending from 25 years to 80 yearn the repayment period on GI home loans, thus reducing the monthly payments. In addition, the Senate Bill would permit the- veterar.s Administration to make diu-ct home loans to veterans, who are unable to borrow else­ where, up to a total o f $150 mil­ lion. By the time this column appears in print, the House will probably have completed consideration of a new foreign aid authorization bill. This Administration-spon­ sored bill calls for another §3.6 billion o f foreign economic aid under the Marshall Plan during the coming fiscal year. Under the House Bill §1 billion of this amount would consist o f foods and surplus farm products to be. chipped over seas upon request. A similar Senate Bill, however, provides tEe full $3.6 billion of foreign aid shall be in hard, cold American cash. Since the"" shoot­ ing in World‘War H end d --u ’ to March’ 1s t ’ 'last—the United States has- expended §23 tiliion on foreign economic aid. A strong drive will be made in Ijoth the House and Senate to reduce th-* §3.6 billion foreign aid request c f the President substantially. The President’s Reorganization Iltr.

By a vote of 347 to 12 the House Last Thursday granted its UnAmeriean Activities Commit­ tee an additional $150 thousand to carry on its investigations of subversive activities in this coun­ try. It will bo remembered that it was this Committee which un­ earthed and developed the evi­ dence which led to the conviction o f Alger Hiss, all despite the ef- foxts o f the Administration to smother the investigation, and the President denouncement of it as a “ red herring.” Incidentally, the House committee on Appropria­ tion s also voted last week to in­ crease the salary of J. Edgar Hoover, head o f the FBI; from §16 thousand to $20 thousand, and to give him an additional 330 G-men to carry on his work. The House is scheduled to start consideration this week of the so-called Omnibus Appropriation Bill carries approximately §29 billion in appropriations for the various departments and agen­ cies of the Federal Government covering all expenditures, except in the field o f foreign aid, and fo r interest on the Public Debt. The Bill* totals approximately §1.2 billion less than the amounts re­ quested in the President's Budget. An attempt will be "made by the! “ economy bloc” in the House to make further cuts in the measure when it is read section by sec­ tion for amendments. It will prob­ ably take 10 days or 2 weeks to complete the legislative consid­ eration o f this over-all appro­ priation bill—the first of its kind brought before the Congress in many decades. Rumor has it that Sturat Sy­ mington of S t Louis, now secre­ tary of the Air Force, will be ranted soon by President Tru­ man to head the National Secur­ ity Resources Board. The Presi­ dent has had difficulty in find­ ing the right ixian to head this most important Board. Syming­ ton in private life is a successful manufacturer of electrical equip­ ment.

She says she went through a worry period but that she didn’t realize that she was worrying; instead, she thought she was merely facing her adversities, which consisted ot not only her own problems, but the problems of her children, which she tried to solve for them without stopping to consider whether they were able to solve them for themselves. Also, sue had some which she couldn’t very well laugh off. One day she was jacked up to a realization of what she was really like when she heard her oldest daughter say to her sister, “Oh, let Mother war- s ry about that; she loves to worry: she really enjoys it,” m , Carnegie That remark, lightly but sincerely made caused^her to analyzeherself.

[schemes for helping ourselves get ; through the occasional bad days ; which come to all of us. In fact, ■becoming mature consists a lot in ilearning how to “ lift yourself by jyour own bootstraps,” as our an- Scestors termed it. The method we ’ have found most effectve is to make ourselves do superlatively well sortie small task, such .as set­ ting the table with the best dishes even if no company is expected. Or searching among discarded pieces of costume jewelry to find some­ thing that will bring life to an old suit. Don’t drive yourself to do some big task during moments of discouragement. You’)! do badly at it and only end in deeper gloom.-It is the lift you get from some small triumph which acts. as. a spark plug to your spirits. As we said,, most of ,us have learned by the time we are parents some such way of kidding our- .selves out of the doldrums. But children don’t know how to do this. Their disappointment over missing a movie or a favorite television show can be overwhelming. The rebellious moods which afflict all ■» children can. completely stifle their better impulses. Punishment doesn’t help at these times, so why not' ’ try to demonstrate for your children some of your own s e c r e t s for recapturing self- esteem? Applymg the small - task- done-well principle, for exam­ ple, pick out something which your child doesn’t do ordinari­ ly. Handing Jane a dish towel and urging her to put extra polish on the glassware is just the same old drudgery to a ten- year-old. But suppose you ask The- moment the Federal Gov­ ernment gets into the business sof making direct loans, it be­ comes involved in political con­ siderations. Loans are made which should not be made, 'The provision which the Senate firmed down undertook to provide 3 p6r cent money for co-opera- Txves, although any- one o f the members o f the co-operatives who {xbryowed" directly would-have to- ’p a y * '^ pei? "cent. The eo-opera- tvves" were also to be granted an extraordinarily long term beyond that-considered sound for private lending. ‘ * #* # IN TWO respects the" bill passed ■* by the Senate does not permit direct Government lending, It authorizes 4 Yz per cent Govern­ ment loans to veterans in areas where they cannot get private loans, and it permits 2% per cent loans" to educational institutions for the construction of housing on campuses. I would have preferred to leave out both of these provi­ sions, as a matter of principle. However, the loans to veterans is a kind of stand-by provision and isjntended to be used only when there is no money available di­ rectly from banks. It may be said that we have some obligation under the principles pf the GI Bill of Rights to see that loans are made available to veterans if the banks don’t provide them. - On -the whole, I should say that we puglit to keep away from any authority to make di­ rect Government loans in the housing field. i feel friendly,-however, to the general fo rm .o f co-operative or­ ganization; and, if a number of pebple. desire to save themselves money by buying real estate, car­ rying out a joint development and employing one architect and engi­ neer fqr the project, I believe they ■should be encouraged. I voted, therefore, ip favor of fhe. substi­ tute measure offered by "Senators Ives and' Tobey. This would mere­ ly have provided FHA insurance^ for loans "to co-operatives espe­ cially adjusted .to the needs of such Gq-operatives, but requiring that they pay the going rate of iip terest Hoy private .papit ’ This amendment was'defeated, t it is still qi^ite possible for tne co­ operatives' tq obtain insurance loans undef’ the FHA "law, «SES RIFLE ^-Xenia lawyer Marcus McCa]» i.Ster reported to police the loss Winchester rifle valued at vC-,.50.

" her to put a rosy polish on your nails? How she will concen­ trate on this task! Maybe she won’t give your nails a profes­ sional finish, but what do you care if the effort pulls her out of her “ nothing’s any fpn” mood? It’ s the same with Dick—you’ll only increase his sense of being put upon if you ask him to mow the grass when he is already "hating the world in general. That repre­ sents a major task to a boy. But polishing his father’s golf club, with an expectation of praise and some special reward, can guide a youngster’s energies into happy ac­ complishment. Perhaps your .own technique for reviving your better nature fs to try some new diversion- choosing a different type mag­ azine from the newsstand from the ones you usually read— taking a walk In a strange part of town—or washing the bath­ room walls. This is probably the best known way of helping a child over the pouts, and it still works. Many mothers keep a supply of new games, just a little more intricate than those the child has already mastered, to produce at these times. Today’s children have so much passive entertainment in their lives that it is well to take advan­ tage of the times when ready-made diversion pall to get them interested in things they can do themselves. Even in school, when youngsters get in a fractious state, they are no longer stood in corners to medi­ tate on their sins, but are given paints and drawing paper on which to work out their puzzled emotions. It all adds up to squashing un­ pleasant impulses through an ab­ sorbing creative activity. -1 firs- u ?v -i NEW COEN HYBRIDS — for High Yield.
