It is the word “home.” But homes were not invented in Eng­ land or America; the ancient peo- pies of the world had homes even if they had no special word for them. The story of Ruth is a home- story, a family tale. It comes from the times of the Judges, which were very rugged times indeed. To reach the Book of Judges you would think that everything was th e bridge on which he was work­ ing. He got a row boat and re­ covered the champers. . . Law­ rence Mettler was graduated from Miami university. He at­ tended 88 other colleges, en route to a degree.

DEWEY’S JOB * In these days of shrunken dis­ tances, New York is a nextdoor neighbor. In fact, In political interest what goes on in that state has always claimed our at­ tention. Governor Dewey is drop­ ping out. Lt. Gov. Joe Hamer is the GOP favorite to succeed him. But FDR, the two-th, with a fam­ ily claim on the position, may be a candidate. If he is, count on Jim Farley whom the late FDR “never considered his social equal,” in the words of Mrs. FDR—Jim Farley will; be back in the fray, but effectively! He may even run for the job himself. Interesting? Quite! CORRUPTION A Georgia woman reported to authorities that she voted all day and was paid only $1. “Other people were paid §2 every time they voted—and I got only $1 for voting all day!" The authorities agree tha t her complaint is valid —she ought to nave been paid ;■morel There was an old-time story about a voter who was paid §1 to vote for the GOP candidate and $2 to vote for the Democra- ' tic candidate. He voted for the GOP man, explaining that the “Democrats are corrupter than th e Republicans!" HOARDING Already, a t the first hint of war, folks are rushing to buy tires and sugar and everything else they can remember was scarce during the last war. One woman explained that she only wanted to get plenty” before the hoarders got it!” KARGEE, II There are readers of this paper who remember Gus Karger, Cin­ cinnati writer, whose sage poli­ tical writings were gospel to his generation.He has a son, Gus Karger. Gus Karger is In poli- tices. He threatens to run against incumbent congressman Charles Elston from Hamilton county. The name Gus Karger has never- lost its appeal. to remind us that even in those terrible times there were happy people,"people who minded their business and worked hard and stayed home: and loved one anoth­ er. The bright spots in today’s vast seas,of misery are just what they were in Ruth’s time. “A home is a place to go when everything else has shut up” is not a true proverb. For if that is all it is, it is not a home. It is only a boarding house and not a very at­ tractive one at that. To this day, there are fewer di­ vorces in the country than in the cities, and one big reason for that is that country families have to work together, while city families often have little in common. In the country everybody turns to and does something about the house, everybody helps everybody else; while in the cities where so much is done by machines and houses are very small, there isn’t much a family can do together. thing hut pleasing. American mil­ itary officials insist they expected tough going duning the early part of the Korean operations, but tha t American and United Nations strength will become apparent in the not too distant future. American officials have poli­ tely side-stepped Chiang Kae- shek’-s offer to send 30,000) vet­ eran Nationalist troops to the aid of South Korea. Back of this action of rejecting Nationalist China’s aid is the fear Chinese Communist troops in great num­ bers might be drawn into the Korean struggle and the desire to keep the conflict a local one if a t all possible. It is said that the Chinese Communists have 2 million men jinder arms in Man­ churia within easy striking dis­ tance of the Korean bordei*. Majority Leader Lucas of the senate, presumably acting on ad­ ministration orders, has been blocking consideration of the Mundt bill to require registration of Communists and Communist organizations, and to make il­ legal Communist and other sub­ versive activities in his country. It is difficult to understand why we should hesitate to take action against the Communists within our own borders a t the time American boys are being sent 7,000 miles overseas to Korea to defend free government against Communist aggression. I REMEMBER BY THEOLDTIMERS - ACTING LIKE MOTHER A birdist, Dr. O.

But in cases of the Aunt Eppie like bird lovers who would have trouble bathing in a thimble­ sized' dish and telling the birdie to “da, like mama does!” From Charles Mohr to Mrs. Mary Stewart: “My hobby is recollect­ ing and collecting old sayings and proverbs and among them are these ’dated* expressions (the type you have been recollecting for ‘I Remember’): ‘Cold as a cucum­ ber* (1599), 'So’s your old man!,’ VALUABLE PAGE A feature page of a Sunday newspaper had these helpful articles: That the old-fashioned scarecrow is the best (three col­ umns to prove i t ) ; that the Bible is the best Book; that a girl got to be a movie star by persistence; that a mother bear in a zoo won’t let even the keeper come near her cub; that the only way to fight weeds is to keep after them. A very helpful, informative page. BASS A fisherman off Rhode Island caught a 52-pound bass. While a fish like that makes a good pic­ ture with the fish and the fisher, man, reading left to right, yet there’s the outlay for a skillet to fry it in, remember. Seems like 13 four-pound bass would be more desirable, except for telling- about-it purposes. PARAGRAPHS News item: Strategic Gaum lion.

A lot of people believe in this big idea, but few do anything about it. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, editor-in-chief of this little magazine, called Guideposts, is doing something about it every day of his life. The idea? Peace. What Dr. Feale urges all of us to do cannot but further the idea, for all he asks us to do is within our power: to have faith. “Faith,” we read from The Book, “is the substance o f things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” If you haven’t looked up the defini­ tion; of “substance,” here It is; substance means “the substantial part, tlie main part,” of anything. So substance is the main part when we hope. We live by faith. If we didn’t have faith, we would accomplish nothing, have nothing, be less than nothing. So let’s cooperate with this man who is spending his life in helping all of us. Let’s follow some suggestions he sets forth, and in which he has great faith. Here are those suggestions. It will help you every day of your life to follow them to repeat to your­ self every morning as you start the day: 1—I will seek a change within myself that I may have inner peace. % v 2 —I will seek to effect, with God’s help, a similar change in my family, my social group, my community. 3—I w ill seek to make fny faith infectious that I may at­ tract other people to God by what 1 am. 4—At every opportunity, I w ill pray for peace, speak for peace, act for peace, and think for peace. 5—I will try to win a t least two others to a similar dedi­ cation and charge them each to do likewise. .

He sold six tickets for 25 cents and each ticket was good for a quart of milk.” From Mrs. Vena Norton of Mesa, Ariz.: “I remember how we as­ pired to learn how to spin and weave and do other clever tilings like our elders could do.

The finance committee of the senate has derided to continue its hearings on the house-approv­ ed tax bill and to bring the mea­ sure to a vote in the senate anounr July 20 unless world con­ ditions grow worse. Senate lead­ ers point out that, while the hill n-educes excise taxes by approxi­ mately $5r billion, it increases other taxes, including some on corporations, by an approximate­ ly equal amount, so actually no loss of revenue would result from passage of the measure. If the hill becomes law, Johri\Q. Public will simply quit paying certain taxes out of one pocket and start paying increased corpora­ tion and other taxes out of an­ other pocket. Finance committee members point out that, if the United States becomes involved in another world war, there will be no tax cuts of any kind, but, instead, all taxes will be heavily increased. The* federal deficit for the fis­ cal year, which ended June 30, was $3,122,102,357.45, according to an official report from the treasury. Tnis made the actual government deficit approximately 40 percent or $2,300,000,000 less than anticipated and predicted by administration spokesmen as late as last April 20. Approximately $1 billion less was spent on na­ tional defense than authorized; only $44 million of the $160 mil­ lion set aside for the foreign arms aid program were actually paid out; but $40 million of the $70 million voted as economic aid to Konea was spent, while ex­ penditures by the atomic energy* commission and Reconstruction Finance corporation were hun­ dreds of millions below those au­ thorized and anticipated for the year. While revenue from corpor­ ation income taxes was lower, e- ceipts from withholding taxes on individual incomes were much higher than expected. The trea­ sury report shows the federal government has operated in the red 18 years out of the last 20 , and lived within its income only during the 2 years when the Re­ publican 80th congress sat in the capitol and controlled the purse­ strings of the nation. Under the Under the Republican congress the government not only spent less than it took in, but a surelus of more than $8 billion was cre­ ated, heavy payments were made on the national debt, individual income taxes were reduced $ 5.5 billion annually, and more than 7 million low-income Americana, were taken entirely off the fed­ eral tax rolls. During tho last fiscal year, the government took, in a little over $3/ billion and spent over $40 billion. The nation­ al debt stood a t $257,376,855,385.- 01 a t midnight June 30. Washington was host last week­ end to several thousand Bov Scouts, who had attended the recent jamborea at Valley Forge Pa., where they were addressed by President Truman, Gen. Eisen­ hower, and other dignitaries. Visiting the capitol were several Scout troops from the 7 th con­ gressional district, including 27 Scouts from our home county of Clinton. They were: a tired but happy group. ’ . Ai; 0 V ' um°rs are being circulated that the government will impose rationing and other controls soon. However, no such action can be taken until the congress first enacts legislation giving authority therefor. How ever, many World War II sociai and economic planners are busy propagandizing in favor of in­ stituting a government controlll ed economy m the near future Proposed laws have already been' prepared to be nresented to con­ gress providing for rigid con­ trols on all production, prices •wages, and manpower, and the allocation of all materials and WASHINGTON V ARIETY is not only the spice of life but a parental safeguard against-the threats of television, radio, comics, movies and other childhood enthusiasms that are often decried as harmful. The harm invariably results from ob­ session with one form of amuse­ ment—being stuffed with a single type of mental intake is certainly not good for the developing mind. Yet would you want a child to grow up without access to the forms of entertainment and com­ munication with which his play­ mates are familiar? It seems to me that parents have a grander opportunity than ever before to plan a stimulating and culturally significant life for their children by skimming the best off the many delights available to to­ day’s children. Of course* it takes thought and time — you have to study what each of these media has to offer. You have to share them with the children up to a point—that is, until you know how your children react to various types of programs. . After all, there are only 14 waking hours in the day for ' children under 10 years of age if they get the 10 hours sleep they need. And it is up to parents to see that this basic need is supplied. There is no excuse for allowing radio or television to keep children up way past their bedtime. An occasional spree when some program of rare value is • scheduled later is part of that “spice” even little children are entitled to. But such an event should .h e labeled special so • the children won’t expect such indulgence "to be frequent. Ask yourself why it is that play­ ing records has never been listed as a "menace” to children. Isn’t it because they are usually choSen with care, and then the playing of them is sandwiched in with other activities? A dangerously intro­ spective child, like the crippled sister in “The Glass Menagerie,” might sit and play records all day, but most children take them as an adjunct to radio, reading, movies or working at b hobby. If all the current amusements were used in the sensible way most families listen to records there wouldn’t be any television or radio or movie problem! This surfeit of passive entertain­ ment in our children’s lives could be kept to manageable proportions if parents .would see to it that each week their children have a well- rounded program—you can’t always provide a balanced daily fare but the Week should add up to the right proportions. Begin by plan­ ning for the programs in each field that shouldn’t be missed. For example, the week that “Treasure Island” comes to yourlocal mavie, that is a must- see tor children 10 years old and up, including father and mother. Television shows that week should include baseball games, favorite children’s pro­ grams ana one of the better Westerns. Radio may provide a children’s series dramatiz­ ing stories from history or the Bible. For reading, something sentimental for girls and a scientific wonder book for boys. Then t h e week “Destination Moon” hits your theater the family should declare a holiday and go. For reading, perhaps Davy Crock­ ett tales — the adventure of dis­ covering our country after being on the moon at the movies. BY SENATOR ROBERT A, TAFT SUBJECT: KOREAN CRISIS T HE attack of the North Koreans on the Republic of Korea is an outrageous act of aggression against a friendly indepen­ dent nation which has been established on the initiative of the United States and recognized by the United Nations. The attack in all probability was instigated by Soviet Russia. We have an­ other instance of Communists picking out a *1 soft spot where they felt that they could expand‘d their power without risking war.' In the face of this attack, the Pres­ ident has reversed the previous policies of the Administration, ordered the 7th F le e t to p r e ­ vent any attack onFormosa and accelerated mil­ itary assistance to the Philip­ pines and Indo China. I have h e r e t o f o r e urged a much mo r e . d e t e r ­ mined attitude against Communism in the Far East, and it seems to me that the time had to come when we gave definite notice to the Communists that a further advance would re­ sult in war. I believe the general principle of the Truman.policy of today is right and that we should back up with every available re­ source the American men in our armed forces who have been moved into Korea. It should bepointed out, how­ ever, that the Korean attack is the direct result of the weak policy adopted by the Admin­ istration in the Far East, par­ ticularly lit China, Formosa and Korea. * * * ,,r'5, AS a result we not only invited attack, but now the President has to choose an unfortunate time and undertake a very difficult mil­ itary operation in the defense of Southern Korea. First, the division of Korea along the 38th parallel, giving the Rus­ sians the northern half of the country with most of its industry, was part of the Yalta-Potsdam sympathise acceptance of Com­ munism as a peace-loving philoso­ phy, the great fundamental error which has made Russia today a threat to the existence of the world. Second, the entire Chinese pol­ icy gave basic encouragement to North Korean aggression. In gen­ eral, Secretary Acheson made it very clear that our defense line was Japan, Okinawa and the Phil­ ippines, leaving out Formosa and Korea. If we refused to give mili­ tary assistance to Nationalist China against Chinese Communists, why Should- the Korean. Communists think that we would use our troops to defend Nationalist Korea against Korean Communists? Why should they assume that the President would reverse- the Secretary of State’s clearly stated policy that we could not assure the Far East against attack beyond the line he indicated? Third, we withdrew our troops from Korea and did not give any substantial arms to the Ko­ reans.' Although the President last year obtained the money to arm the Koreans against north­ ern aggression, he changed that policy and only' undertook to arm them to prevent border raids and sabotage, according to his own statement. Of the mil­ lions available, only $200 was spent even for this purpose. Cer­ tainly this fact of our failure to arm South Korea was one which invited the attack which has been made. * * * ipiNALLY, the Administration attitude toward 'Formosa, so clearly stated in January of this year, naturally would lead one to think that we would not under­ take military action in Korea. Acheson and Connally,both took the position that Formosa had no military value. Certainly its mili­ tary value is greater than that of. Korea. They indicated that we would not defend Formosa be­ cause it might involve us in war with Russia. The defense of Ko­ rea is far more likely to involve us in war with Russia than the de­ fense of Formosa ever was. Secretary Acheson indicated in January that we -might recognize the Chinese Communist govern­ ment. If the Administration' was contemplating recognitionof Com­ munist China after they had seized China, why couldn’t the'Korean Communists hope for recognition after- they had seized-Korea? In short, if a strong policy had heretofore been* adopted in the Far *East, the North Koreans never would have attacked. I welcome the present-reversal of policy, hut We should realize that it Is a complete reversal of Secretary Acheson’s entire pre­ vious policy which, has so pre­ cipitated ' the danger of war. .Whether the President chose-the right time for his policy, or the right:place, can be discussed in the-future. At present we*must back with unstinted ■support our armed forces where they have been sent by-the. President. supplies, in case war comes. The congress, remembering the sad experiences during World War II, will be slow to vote any new authorities unless they become absolutely necessary, for our sur­ vival. The past has proved that the private enterprise system,! sounder a free economy, has always j been able, to out-produce the con- * trolled economies of dictator states. - [ Late last week the senate, by, an overwhelming voice vote, re­ jected President Truman’s reor-’ ganization plan- No. 24, which" would have transferred the Re­ construction Finance corporation to the department of Commerce.
