E d i t o r i a l COMMENTS We don’t min'd paying high prices hut we hate to pay “only” tha t much! . . . “John L. Lewis has lost face,” an editor writes. But it’s not his face that ..worries us, it's those eye-winker, tom-tink­ e r misplaced chin whiskers of his! . . . A neighbor starting to Florida says he plans to avoid all labor, even to winding his watch. If some of us went to Florida we’d need the tick, at least. . . A writer says_ that in­ sanity among students is due to too much studying. But tha t is something most parents won’t worry about. . , A Russian farm­ er has lived to he 140 years old. One question, plqase: What for? . . . A Virginian driving a truck loaded with 198,000 eggs lost control of the truck and it top­ pled over an embankment with­ out breaking a single egg. So he took’em on to the cave where Uncle Sam buried ’em for him. . . The Shah of Iran made the rounds of hot spots in New York incog­ nito, or as near as his wet-towel headache treatment lets a fel­ low be incognito. LAMECH Ancient language professors are examining a scroll, dried up and very fragile, which may be the lost book of Lamech. The pre­ cious paper bears many inscrip­ tions in Aramaic, the language in which Jesus Christ talked. A- rabic tribes are said to have found the scroll two years ago along the shores of the Dead Sea. There were 10 of the docu­ ments, but three were destroyed before their value was learned, will determine the authenticity of the scroll. Not long ago the Noah’s Ark quest was abandoned after a visit of scientists to the Asiatic mountain where the fam­ ous boat is said to have been moored after the waters of the flood receded. They didn’t find the ark or even the driver’s li­ cense. LOOK DANGEROUS A picture in the paper shows Miss Sloan Simpson coming a- way from a New York hospital where she had been visiting May­ or O'Dwyer The mayor is said to have a fast heart, and looking a t the picture we’d say that have a girl like th a t visit him wouldn’t slow it down any. A HARD LIFE A Hollywood columnist makes with a half column about two ac­ tors named Clift and Shelly and the hard time they had with a half-day’s kissing scene. The ac­ tor’s vitskers got stubbv by late afternoon and the gal was pretty well ratched which shows what stout hearts will do for art! RUMBLINGS An actor in Australia can play the piano with his feet, and that ought to be sole-stirring music . . . All you who have scoffed at brimstone _preaching give heed: If hell is in the middle of things subterranean its temperature is around 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Better have ’em put in a palm leaf fan just to be on the safe side. . . If all the unnecessary things said over the telephone were laid end to end, the line would still be busy. . . A man in Dayton flew 100 mph faster than sound, or about the rate some folks go ’round us on a hill now and th en .. . Uncle Sam and “Un­ cle Joe” tussling with A-bomb is a good deal like two neighbors trying to break up a family row next door. TURKEYS The do-every-thing for us gov­ ernment tells us about turkeys—- tha t they will be higher for Christmas, and that Brer Tom’s the best buy. Uncle Sam does everything for us but stir the gravy! A NEW GROUP A new school promotion organ­ ization is being promoted — a citizens commission fo r public schools, it is called. The idea is to have a representative group of farms, labor, business, and hom». folk whose concern would be to study schools and their needs. No objection, understand, but why can’t the strong, influ­ ential, effective PTA do it bet­ te r than anybody else ? KEEPING FRIENDS Dwight Eisenhower, general and college president, says he won’t belong to a political party, for if he does he’ll lose friends. And, general, if -we may be so bold as to address, a general and an educator, you’ll not be making many friends by sitting -on the fence. ADVERTISING PAYS An Iowa merchant advertised a bargain sale. The crowd tha t gathered, out front for the store to open broke the sidewalk. The folks went down with the cavein. Now the cement contractor also agrees that it pays to advertise. VERY WILLING Germany’s new chancellor talked the. other day. What he - said had a familiar ring. He said th a t Germany would be willing to do its part in the formation of an all-Europe army.

Do Christmas Shopping at Home By Ertta Haley Lesson for December 18, 1949 D OES GOD EXIST? Yes. There is every good reason to believe that he does. But when we have an­ swered that question in the affirm- ‘ative, we have not settled the most important questions of religion. There 'are the other two questions of equal Importance: What kind of God is he? and. Is he avail­ able? Let us give some thought to this last question. One of our Christ­ mas carols begins, j)r. Foreman “Draw nigh, draw .high, Immanuel!"' Immanuel is one ;of the names by which Jesus is called, for the Christian church has always read Isaiah 7:14 as a proph­ ecy of Jesus Christ. The name imeans “God with us” and is the an­ swer to the deepest cry of the heart. God in heaven far away, God the Creator who set in motion this mighty universe, God the All-power­ ful ruling beyond the stars, God the Eternal who knows neither youth nor age. Such a God has sometimes been believed in by men who neverthe­ less walked in a dark cloud of [loneliness, doubting that so great to God could possibly have any in­ terest in their own affairs. Is; God WITH us? Is God with US? Is GOD with us? That Is the question that torments t the troubled mind. With one voice, the whole church of God . answers Yes; the name of the one. in whose face we see the glory of God is named “God- ; with-us.” In the first chapter of the Bible we hear of a God who walked with his children in a garden. In the first chapters of the Gospels we hear songs to the God who has “vis­ ited his people;” and in almost the last; chapter of the Bible we hear the promise, “God himself shall be with them and be their God. * * * j“When ye shall search, for him w ith all your hearts” |urOST TRUTHS are two-sided. JLT* y ou have to keep both sides in mind or you will not fully under­ stand. God is with us yes; God is with all men, yes—that is, there are po favorites with him, he refuses his presence to no one. God is al­ ways available, available to all. That is one side of the truth. The other side is this: God is not equally with all men. Some men hre alienated from God. Some men are godless. Even among those with whom. God lives, we may fairly say that God is with some in a higher fiegree, in fuller measure, than he is with others. Jeremiah gives the clue to this truth: “Ye shall seek hie and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” .(Jer, 29:13.) Those who do not search for God will not find him. Those whose search is half­ hearted only half-find him. God does not enter uninvited. He is available,, but he will not force, bis way in. . We can see how this is when we think about Christians we know. It does not make sense to say that they are all equally godly. ; We have known some great Christians of whom we might al­ most dare to say that Paul's prayer had been answered, that they have been “filled with the fulness of of God." (Eph. 3:19.) But in other Christians, who certainly have some small seed of faith in them, it may be hard even for a kindly observer to see many signs of Gad’s presence. « • * “Thou can’st, a little baby thing, . , G OD IS in all things, “he shines in all that’s fair,” as we sing the familiar hymn. But the center of the Christian faith is that God comes to man especially and most closely in Jesus Christ. No matter how strongly men believed in God In olden times, always they looked forward, as the prophets show, to a time when God would come nearer than he had been, before. True, it was a surprise when finally he came to Bethlehem, “a little baby thing that made a woman cry.’* A world accustomed to kings in purple robes, in w e 11-guarded castles , was surprised that the King of the Universe would be found as a child among the poor. But alter all, which better repre­ sents the All-Available God—a king behind his palace walls, or a child in a home that loves him? (Copyright by the. International council of Relfeioiss Education on behalf of 40 Protest; ” -Irnomlnations. Released by YTNU * .» CiJ.) ■would be the fondest thing Ger­ many would be of. THE BUDGET “Tight and honest” is the way the president describes his bud­ get of 41 billion dollars for next year. It’s enough to make on hon­ est man go out and get tight! N O WOMAN LIKES the ordeal of Christmas shopping in crowded stores with picked over merchan­ dise she knows is not what she wanted: to get*for Aunt Mary, or her neighbor or the sweet old lady who lives down the street. How much happier is the woman who gets her household chores out of the way and can sit down at her sewing machine and make several presents in just a few hours. No great outlay of money is needed. The presents are personal­ ized to the extent that they are not only a real pleasure to give, but also a certain ticket to deep grati­ tude for the thought they represent. Instead of planning a shopping list for some of your items, why not sit down and make a list of things which you yourself can turn out with a great deal of pleasure. Some of the items which are made at home are so simple, but so ef­ fective that you’ll wonder why you’ve never done it before. With gift list completed, you sim­ ply need take out the sewing ma­ chine, ironing board and iron, and that scrap bag which'is bulging with pieces of pretty lace, odd but­ tons, pieces of felt and delightful materials. Just what type, of thing can, be created with so little, you ask? First of aU there are the sachets, then monogrammed towels, pot holders, scull caps for the younger set, soft toys or clothing for the new arrivals, hostess aprons or luncheon mats or cloths for almost any woman friend. What about clothing bags for lingerie or linens? These may be Do Christmas shopping at home , . , made with ’the plastics and bound with a tape either sewed or pressed on. What about a clever clothespin bag made in an apron style for the lady next door? You can use rem­ nants from a shirt for the apron and the pockets which hold the pins can be cut from still another shirt rem­ nant, The waistband to the apron may also be made from the con­ trasting material. Women Appreciate Items Made for their Homes What women would not be com­ pletely thrilled with a wispy organ- aad add personality to presents, die table cloth and napkins to match? Yet how difficult is this to put together? You need only do simple hems on the cloth, making them wide for a luxurious touch. Or, place in the hem, use contrast­ ing material and color.

Make your own cardboard patterns for the sachets and whatever decora­ tions you like on them. The cov­ ers are made from scraps you have and the edging and dec­ orations are simply ironed on With hot iron mending tape chosen in contrasting colors. ated with flower appliques which can easily be made at home or pur­ chased. Use smaller flowers of the same type on one corner of the napkins to match. These same ideas, namely the contrasting edging or the appliques may also be applied to towels, be they Turkish, hand or kitchen types. If you like, buy monograms and apply these to towels for that real personal touch. An extensive treat for any woman may include two pillowcases with or without a- sheet or two, depend­ ing upon the extent of the gift you want to give. You make or buy the pillowcases, and add a personal and colorful note to them by sewing a contrasting small floral print to the top opening of the pillowcase. The same edging applied to the top hem of the sheet so that it can be turned over the blanket. Here’s an Idea that adds life to sheets as well as a colorful note to the pres­ ent. Decorative pillows are a Wel­ come present if they are done in the proper color scheme. Study the home to which the pil­ lows are going and solve the prob­ lem of color. The pillows may be made from discarded pillows of your’ own, thus providing proper filler. Covers may come from rem­ nants that you have or buy as nec­ essary. No Sewing Is Required To Make Sachets Personalized sachets make ideal gifts when given with handkerchiefs or- lingerie, or in sets of two or three. All you need buy for them is hot iron mending tape which is used for the edging and decora­ tive motif, and of course the scent. One bottle of bath salts will fill at least 20 sachets. To make the sachets, cut a pat­ tern from a piece of cardboard and then cut two pieces of material from this pattern. Iron the two pieces together with hot iron mend­ ing tape, choosing a contrasting or matching color In the tape. To finish, leave a small opening in which to put the sachet filling before you finish the binding. Tuck the bath salts into cotton and stuff the sachets with it. If you like to make decorative sachets with'holly, initials or flow­ ers, cut the shape of the design out of the mending tape and then iron into the cloth before stuffing or binding the sachets. Neatness is essential even in a small job like this if the sachets are to look professional. Use a jculer for measuring the size of the sachet patterns before cutting and binding. Work carefully with edges and dec­ orations to achieve the necessary neqlness. Select your Gifts From this List A buttoned trimmed, drum-shaped handbag and a matching beanie cap is a perfect ensembled gift for a teen-aged glamour girl. Use pieces of felt from the. scrap hag with the aid of a pattern and a sew­ ing machine. Trim with decorative buttons from your*button box'1or sewing center. These buttons also make good trimming for snoods and scarves. Fine pieces of silk need only be hemmed to make colorful ties for dresses and suits. To add glitter appropriate to the season, outline some of the patterns In toe print of toe scarf with sequins. If you have collected cards or prints, mount these on colored pa­ per for framing and give a set of these for a nice present. Metallic papers are often used for good mounts since they are so heavy. Any mother will appreciate a toy holder for her baby. Start with a round cereal box and make a heavy slip cover for it from remnants. The slip cover is made slightly longer than the box so toe top can be hemmed and a drawstring in* serted so that the box will close pouch fashion. This keeps toys off toe floor and the box may be hung on a hook with. drawstring.' 1TU 1E BUDGET PLAN AVAILABLE WASHINGTON REPORT BY SENATOR ROBERT A . TAFT I HAVE just completed a trip, through the State of Ohio lasting 13 weeks and covering 75 counties. I spoke three or four times in each county to public, meetings and to non-partisan groups of farmers, businessmen, workmen, students, teachers, veterans and others. I asked for questions and discussions at the close of each talk and I obtained a fairly clear idea of how the people are thinking. ^ The greatest concern was shown about the size of the public debt and the spending policy of the gov­ ernment. Many questions relat­ ed to the possi­ bility and ne­ cessity of adopt­ ing the Hoover Report. The spending of money in loans and gifts to foreign coun­ tries seems to be also t h e i r p r i nc i pa l con­ cern in the field of foreign affairs, except perhaps the danger of our past and present policy in China. My impression is that the people thoroughly ap­ prove of a vigorous policy against Communism, both in Europe and in China, but that they question .the wisdom of gifts and loans to European countries to support that policy. At any rate, they hope that the necessity for such spending may rapidly come to an end. There seems to be no ques­ tioning of the necessity of our maintaining adequate armed forces, particularly in the air, regardless of expense. T HAVE talked to many workmen A regarding the Taft-Hartley Law. I believe a substantial number of union members, and a much higher per cent of non-union workmen, approve the law today as in their in terest The rest have a preju­ dice against i t growing out of labor newspaper propaganda, but are unable to state what their ob­ jections are. I believe most of them are open to persuasion whenever they can be reached by argument Nor do I think that workmen are by any means persuaded in favor of the socialistic, planned econ­ omy, “Handout State” principles, supported today by the C.I.O. and A.F. of L. leadership. This is no grassroots movement, but one im­ posed by the intellectual left- .wihgers employed by Mr, .Green and Mr. Murray. j The program of price fixing ! and controlled business, of defi- ; pit spending and the national!- <zation of medical care and other services excites little support, ;; and not as much Interest as it should. Xdo not agree a t all with those who fear that the work- spex are inclined to vote for anyone who promises them free services from a Federal bureau. So also with the farmers. The idea that the Ohio farmer can be bought by government handout seems to me a complete fallacy. His most definite thought is re­ sistance to production controls by the Department of Agriculture, telling him how many acres of each crop he can plant, and how many hogs, sheep and cattle he can feed. I think he does feel that he is in a weak position compared to the average businessman and that some government assistance is needed "to secure an equality of position, through support prices at some reasonable point below which he would suffer loss, and through government aid and advice in selling the products of a more efficient and abundant agriculture. TN short, I do not detect any “slide A toward socialism” among Ohio voters but rather a resentment against governmental control and taxation. The real danger is lack of interest. Washington is toe far away and too many people feel helpless to determine policy. In the last election in Ohio more than one-third of those who might have voted failed to do so and I ’m sure that they and many others did not realize the crucial issues between Liberty and Socialism, which will be finally determined by the votes cast for a President and Congress. The most encouraging factor in the situation was the great interest and intelligent questions asked by college students and high school students. My own job and'that of others concerned with the preservation of Liberty and the American sys­ tem is to bring the issues directly and forcefully to the-people. That is not an easy task and has not been well done in the past. Even when these issues are •clearly, stated, it is a difficult job to reach those who show little or no interest. If the issue is presented, I have no doubt whatever that a great majority of 4he people will desire to go forward within the princi­ ples of American government, of Liberty and equal justice under law, under which we have made such extraordinary progress in the last 160 years, rather than discard, that system fo r’ the regulations and government controls, of any Handout State.
