A - long the roads in that-area are deep side Jditches. The village school is small. Available boys to play basketball are few. But the team won the Ohio state champ­ ionship. There are very few sub­ stitutes fo r the players. For the most part the boys of the team played in all the games through the county, sectional and state tournaments.. For a team like that to win the state champion­ ship proves several things, one o f which is that basketball is the game universal because no school is too large to play it, and no school too small, and both kinds and all in between have an equal chance to excel, WE ARE HONORED Kind o’ nice to have the census taker show enough interest in us to come ’ round and ask us ques­ tions, don’t you think?

Under Jeroboam H the influence of impure religion had entirely corrupted the nation* The masses were poor and oppressed by the few who had all the wealth of the country. Under the figure o f the plumb line and the basket o f summer fruit, Amos predicted that Jehov­ ah would soon leave the nation to its fate.

Trucks o f all kinds become thicker and thicker. No escape seems possible. Dangers of driv­ ing increase. Roads and streets are being worn out faster than they'can be paid for. The pedes­ trian takes his life in nis hand -when he crosses the street even here in our small town. There is hardly a light change at bar main intersection that does not see a half dozen or more cars and often as many trucks waiting for the light to change to let them pass. Frantically authorities talk o f turnpikes and wider, better, saf­ er highways; of by-passing towns to free them from jampaeked streete. Accidents increase in number and fatalities set a new record.

We had two OLD-FASHIONED In governmental circles men who cry out against excessive spending and the calamity o f huge refieits year after year are called old-fashioned and rei'(> tionaries. Thrift is a lost art. Economy is scorned. Making ends meet is laughed at as out of date. Higher prices and higher wages are suggested as the remedy for all evils. Even the president has predicted that within a short time the yearly income of an American family will be $12,000. He neglected to say that the envi- 'ab le salary o f $2,200' a year only a few years ago would exceed the predicted salary in buying power. SUPPLY AND DEMAND In big letters a headline says “ Supply and Demand Returns.” We used to refer to it as the “ law o f supply and demand.” In recent . years the idea had spread that the law had been repealed. But with price support props jerked out from under hog prices, supply and demand becomes the opera­ tive Tule. I f there is pny objection to letting the law of supply and demand govern the market it esmacks o f the reasoning of the hoy who asked for a job. When the question o f pay came up the employer said, “ I’ll pay you all you’re worth.” Hotly thq lad re­ torted, “ I won’t work fo r that!” BEING ROBBED Did you know that England is complaining that she is giving more than she is getting from America? And that Russian school books mention only one thing America did to help Russia drive back the German hordes pounding at the gates of Stalin­ grad—Scotch tape? Philosophers agree that no one is so quick to shout “ robber!” as one who lias been helped financially. Odd Mc­ Intyre, the inimitable columnist, used to tell the story o f a man telling .another: “ Bill Whoosit is mad at you.” The man studied a bit and said, “ That’s funny; I can’t remember ever doing any­ thing fo r him!” SURE THING Playing hunches, the Commun­ ist newspaper editor picked Rus­ sian Hero, naturally, to win the famous English sweepstakes.

ITT: 21 LOS ANGELES, reader who says;“Just call’me a manager,” ; writes that he thinks we ought to say more in this column about what a man should do to hold at job, rather than so much about how to get one. Well, any man who has ever" taken over a new job, and any man who hires one, should ap­ preciate the value of this. But a few more words from the “manager.” “I hire men who seem to have it all on the ball, and generally my opinion of them is justi­ fied* I am proud of most of them, and the com­ pany is vastly pleased with their work. But now and then someone higher up in the com­ pany sends me a man for a certain position, and these men usually have to be watched. They don’t know the rides of the place and they seem to feel so secure because of the way they got their job, that they don’t even try to learn the rules that all the others adhere to. Then some of them u§e their influence to bring in a helper, nearly always some relative or close friend.” Carnegie Now let’s see what impression a man tries to make when ap­ plying for a job and how he can live up to that impression: 1— He tries to make the prospective employer feel that he knows his work. To live up to this, he has to not only know his work but he has to work at it conscien­ tiously* 2— He tries to make that employer think of him as a man* Then he has got to be u man, in the highest sense. That is, he has to be honest and have a Certain amount * of dignity, as well as ability. 3—He tries to give the impression that he is am­ bitious to get ahead. So he has to do the things that will help him to get ahead. He not only has'fo do good work, and live up to a good reputation, but he has to watch for opportunities. * 4— He tries to make this m&i, who he hopes will : \ employ him, think that he will give value, received; in -'•* other words, he will work for the. interest of the em- " ‘ ployer during all the hours he is being paid to work. And he has to do just that. ' > If a man lives up to these four things, he will holddiis job as long as he wants it, provided, of course, he can fulfill one other, and a vastly important, requisite: he must be able to get along with his associates. I believe the manager who wrote to me will heartily agree that any new employee who comes to work'each dajr and adheres to these things will have no trouble with any employer, or with any sub-chief he works under.

In fact; the first-is one means of securing.leisure,-the lat- , ter a way of cluttering up your life so that you never seem to have a minute to yourself. But both are habits,' one good, the other deplor­ able. I t would be well to help your children acquire the first.and avoid the second.' - The first .step In-bringing this about is to keep hurry at a mini­ mum fa your children’s lives. This is done, not by tiding to have .their* days go .along at a plow,tempo, fpr with somequick, high-strung .chil­ dren this wouldn’t be-possible.

It is also possible Russia has de­ veloped a similar type of aircraft. President Truman and defense officials however, have denied the truth o f these latest flying saucer stories. Professor Owen Lattimore, ap­ pealing before the senate com­ mittee investigating the state department denied Senator “ Mc­ Carthy’s charges against him of ord his Asiatic policy recommen­ dations made to. the secretary of state last August. Any fair-mmd- ,ed person reading Mr. Lattimore’s recommendations on China would come to the meltable conclusion that at least they were not too harmful to Russian interests in that part of the world. Bridges Convicted The conviction of Harry Brid­ ges, Australian-horn i-adical head of the longshoremen’s union on the west coast, for perjury in - denying he was a Communist at the time he took out his natural­ ization papers, hafe recalled to many members of congress the long fight made throughout the 1930’s to deport Bridges as a *dangerous alien, and how his de­ portation was frustrated by the ■intervention o f thise in high-po­ sition in our government. Unless Bridges is freed on appeal, he faces a- seven, year prison term, a fine of $15 thousand, and event­ ual deportation to Australia.' Senator Robert A. Taft, in a speech before the American Re- tail federation dinner in Wash­ ington last week, urged" the ap­ pointment of a non-partisan commission, made up of . ' out­ standing citizens, to study tile ■whole- question of government •public speeding policies. 'The commission ^favored .fcy Senator Taft ’wouldihaye fa r broader funcr -tions than exercised,by the Hoov­ er commission, which studied only governments reorganization; rath­ er than policy matters. The%ro- posed commission, if established, would study the federal govern­ ment’s programs and policies on agriculture, public assistance, pensions, unemployment eofa'pen- sation, reclamation, public er, ana taxation. A t present seems doubtful President man and his administratio&.VaU' ‘ Of course,, the Federal Power Commission' still has a consider,; able hold on the price paid- fob; gas by the natural gas distributors.; If they feel there is any collusion with gas producers, they can re­ fuse to recognize the higher price which might result. They can ques­ tion the reasonableness of the price paid by a company. I f the distributing company itself *pro- rT'HE price of gas in the' field'is "*■ a-very small proportion.of the price at which gas is finally sold to the consumer in Ohio;'Further­ more; it is usually'fixed by a lorig- iterm. contract..- The-pipeline.-com- .pany .has an advantage-over the ^mcfap¥hdeiit': producers5-be'Ca'tise It' may be the only outlet for a par­ ticular field. Altogether I do not belie.ve that Federal regulation of the price to be charged for gas by 'independent,well-owners is neces­ sary. Gas prices are very low as compared to coal-prices; and cer- ta in ly 'th e fe is no such threat of monopoly to raise the price of gas such as we face in the price of coal because of Mr. John L, Lewis’ con­ trol of the coal industry. The location and production of gas is an expensive and risky enterprise so that too tight a regulation might well reduce the amount of gas available. If it ever does turn out that gas prices in the field become exces­ sive because of monopoly con­ ditions and that competition cannot be maintained, then 1 would favor the* extension of the government price-fixing power to the producers of natu­ ral gas. Of course; - in ' the consuming states, there is a strong movement to fix the price of a product which us ‘produced in other; states.id^ we fgo’ very far on this’rline,-*kqw§yer, *wfe Shall’find that a lot' of thetother states are'anxious to, fix prices on the products made in Ohio which they themselves do not happen to produce.
