KemK&r—National Editorial As­ sociation; Ohio Newspaper Asso­ ciation; Miami Valiev Press -As­ sociation. Editorial EASTER Easter is intrinsically Christ­ ian. All things Christian—Faith and Hope and Love—are centered in a Risen Lord. Victory over the sting o f death and the ter­ rors o f the narrow house; sur­ mounting the problems o f living; calmness, kindness, forgiveness, love o f fellowmen, willingness to give one's life fo r the sake of others — Easter and its Risen Lord mean all o f this. The two disheartened, disillusioned Dis­ ciples plodding the dusty road to Emmaus did not recognize the Stranger who, freed from the shackles o f things earthly, walk­ ed with them and talked with them as He walks and talks with all whose hearts are timed to His great love fo r the children o f men- Easter and the influ­ ence o f its Character alone can minister to the world He loved and gave His life to save.

THEVERNALMESSAGE the disciples, and Paul himself. It is significant that none of those still living, of those named, ever disputed Paul. Life comes to men through the resurrection o f the Lord. If in this life only we have hope In Christ, Paul reasons, we are of all men most miserable. But, assured that . Christ has risen, we know that we shall rise and live with him the perfect life. Christ is like the first-fruits oi the field that give promise o f an abundant harvest. “ For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” The resurrection also insures the triumph of the gospel, and men are exhorted to give thanks unto God for eternal life, to stand firm and he assured that what they do will not be in vain in the Lord. They have sure promise of liv­ ing the perfect life in the endless day. For in heaven, where the re­ deemed shall dwell lot aye with God. naught will enter in to defile and to destroy. May the grand truth of the res­ urrection—the promise of resur- ""w - i l REMEMBER' BY THE OLD TIMERS women o f the community whose ■ rection from the death of sin and touch with the schools is not close find the dinners an oppor­ tunity to meet and know these fine young men, and the girls who lead the cheering. Commun­ ity spirit, school spirit, good will —all the things that make for a better world — are promoted by these home-school get-togethers. The boys deserve the honors, and the citizens like to bestow them. CANCER IS A CURSE Greene county has a share in the fight being waged across the nation this month against can­ cer, one o f the major causes of death. The statistics on cancer and its prevalence are startling. Shocking is a better word. Every day, every person learns o f the death o f some one from the dis­ ease, which instead of being con­ quered continues to conquor. The county’s goal in the national drive fo r funds fo r research and for treatment o f cancer is $7,000. Money can not be given to a more practical cause, or to a more immediate need. DOPE ON THE FARMERS Farmers will be asked on blanks sent to some sections of the country, at least, 333 ques­ tions o f the most prying sort, about details o f their business— income, outside income, mem- new life ig Christ—lead you. Residents Object To Drive-in Theater Property owners along what Xenians call “ the old Springfield pike,’* the abandoned stretch of highway east o f the railroad north of town, have filed a pro­ test against erection o f a drive- in theatre in the neighborhood. A Middletown concern has se­ cured a lease fo r 10 years on a tract o f land on the east side o f the street. As late as last week the matter had gone no fur­ ther than objections by the land- owners.

It is a pretty safe guess that a man that par­ ades his honesty is not to be trusted very far. That’s like para­ ding piety. It just isn’t done. That Is, i f it is done it arouses sus­ picion. Loyalty tests sound reas­ onable enough, but how would you like to have the census taker, f o r instance, quizzing you about your loyalty? Any way you look a t it, it’s a pretty ticklish subject, especially in America where ev­ erybody is presumed, by law and a constitutional provision, to be innocent until he is proved guilty. With the heavy smoke that is hanging over some parts o f our government, there must be some fire, and checking a citizen’s be­ havior in the past as a guide to his present and future attitude is necessary.

We hope we made it clear that this is a very common problerii, but to emphasize its uni­ versality, we'd like to tell you about a booklet prepared for parents by “the board of education of the Den­ ver public schools. It is called ‘ ‘There’ s More to Reading than Meets the Eye,” and the first thing parents are told is that all children are different- children don’t cut their teeth at the same age—they don’t all weigh the same at the same age—they don't all measure the same at the same age-some learn to read more quickly than others. TWe might add, that the eye muscles .don’t always acquire the ability to focus on the printed page at the same age.) The pamphlet contrasts the way Grandma learned to read by bringing her reader home and reading alond a story she had read many times, with the way her grandchild, Timothy, learns to read today. Timothy is in the first grade this year. He has already read many books—not just one reader. He has learned none of them by heart. But he knows enough words now to start reading a story book »n his own, .He reads books that are’ new to. him much better than lid the-children of Grandmother’s lay. The pamphlet explains that Timothy may exhibit boredom with the old-fashioned tech­ nique of becoming acquainted with the shortest words possi­ ble, such as—“ I saw a cat, I • saw a dog.” Today’s child starts with things that really In other words, believe it or not, p ian and six plans then submitted * the house voted it is all right to by the President.

PARKER, Ferguson, Missouri, has written me of a discovery he has made with regard to a trait common to al­ most every individual in the world. Yes, you too, no doubt have this trait Mr, Parker deals in real estate andis connectedwith the Yorkiown Realty company In Ferguson. There was a tract of land in his town that he felt could be made productive. But the owner wasn’t interested in selling. .It was Mr. Parker’s idea to get control of this land and further a promotion for dividing it into panels and putting buildings ca it. This would not only he financially profitable, but it would help in the housing shortage. So he called on the owner, a George Row­ land. Although he pictured the plan, and Mr. Rowland’s profit, in glowing terms, he made no impression on him—or apparently he’ did not- Carnegie Before he lefr, and ss a last bit of persuasion, he S3>*» he would like to see such a subdivision calledRowlandCourt, as a lasting memorial to the man who had helped to further the promotion. Two days later, Mr. Parker met a man who asked about Mr. Rowland's land and made a good offer for it. This prospective purchaser himself had talked ’ with Mr. Rowland and made no progress. Because he never turned down an opportunity, rather , '* than because he had any feeling that he would be suc­ cessful, he again called on Mr. Rowland and told him of the offer. Again ha seemed to have made no progress. He turned to go, hut suddenly Mr. Rowland checked him. “If he sold the property would it ha written into the contract that the subdivision would bo called Row­ land’s Court?” the price o f gas to any consumer, rism by the bureaus whose wings but would make more gas avail- are clipped, and they may not be able, probably at lower prices. submitted at all at this session of As predicted in this column last Congress, week, President Traman has nam- Just as last year, the President ed secretary 0f the air force, Stu- has included one plan which is not arfc Symington, to be the new chair- in accord .withJthe .Hoover-Corn- man o f th national security re- mittqe recommendations but de­ sources board.

The Wisconsin senator, in a dramatic speech, dis­ played documentary 'evidence on. the senate floor late last week -which he -claimed clearly prove* Tus charges *against Owen Latti- vyhicb should not concern a board. There js no indication whatever that the Hoover Committee had in mind, the transfer to the chair­ man -the extensive prosecuting functions o f the" National Labor ReiqW&ns Board, which had been carefiiUy separated, by Congress fr om '■the -judicial functions. A reading of theHoover “Task Force!’ Report shows clearly that, while it believes the present division of p ow e r s h o u ld be som ew ha t changed, it does not approve the abolition of the General Counsel. The National Labor Relations Board is unique among regula­ tory commissions, It is pecu­ liarly necessary that it be im­ partial as between employers and labor unions, because feeling runs high between these two groups. Some of the greatest miscarriages of justice in Amer­ ican history took place under the original National Labor Re­ lations Board, arid Congress wag peculiarly anxious that the pros­ ecuting functions under the General Counsel be separated from the judicial proceedings of the Board, Now it is proposed to make the Chairman of the .Board the chief prosecutor and then let him sit as the presiding judge to determine, whether his decision as prosecu­ tor was correct. Labor, has. com­ plained of the’ seope. of the*power given to Mr. Denham as General Counsel. The new plan would giyp three times that power to the Chairman pf tfie Board and make him prosecutor, judge apd jury. 'T'HIS plan is worse even than the original plan which vested all power in the Board. Such a Board would necessarily have to delegate the prosecuting functions to a General Counsel and did so before the Taft-Hartley Law, with little Board interference, but un­ der this plan every important de­ cision pegarjiing a prosecution is likely to bs passed gn by the Chairm'aq himself. ' - It seems to me highly im -. proper for the President to use $tieReorganization Act to attempt $o reverse $ matter of definite policy recently determined by Congress.

They may eVen be such long words as caterpillar and elephant. But Denver doesn’t stop with ex plaining methods of teaching read­ ing. The pamphlet emphasizes tha we have not taught our children to read if their reading means onl." recognition of words and sentence and paragraphs. We have taug’ them to read only if: Their behavior and attitudes are improved as a result of their reading—they can think— they can choose hooks wiselv and with taste—they admit two or more sides to a question and include them in their reading— they can detect propaganda— they turn to books for recrea­ tion as well as education—read- ihg Is really part of their living —they find help for their own problems in reading of the problems of others—they be­ lieve in democracy and aTe dedicated to its perpetuation. The pamphlet goes on to tell hov the child gets acquainted wit books, learns the alphabet abor the time the telephone director becomes necessary to him, pel haps in the third grade; By the time he’s in the -sixt* j grade, he has learned simple 1 :T hrary procedures; he has learner! that books are friends; he reads' them for Ain, for information, for help with his own problems.
