The proph- E d i t o r i a l FENCES Very few communities have es­ caped having one time or other a line-fence dispute. States have had them, and nations. A line we called Mason and Dixon’s got us Americans into, a lot o f trouble once. There was a 54-40 line that brought out the slogan, “ 54-40 or Fight” once. Now it’s a line again—the 38th parallel in far- o ff Korea. Line fences often cause trouble. THE FAIR - It’s here—the week o f the I llth Greene county fair—our very own fair! It’s bigger and better—-and longer—than it has been before. We’ll all be there, for our friends will be there and a thousand one things we are interested in. A warm welcome to all of us from a ll o f us and to everybody out­ side Greene county who will hon­ or us by coming to our fair. I n C o n g r e s s W i t h a B u c k e y e * CLARENCE J.

DISAPPEARING Our neighbors, the Fosters o f Cedarville, bought the Old Town Run school houses seven miles from Jamestown towards Xenia. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hubbard bought the one on the Wilber- force-Clifton road, a beautiful site near the gorge. As school •houses these buildings, with the others in the county, went the way o f all things in the march o f progress. But a lot o f us hope they cart he kept looking like the old landmarks that meant so much to the world they served. CRACKER BARREL Somebody said that one ol’ fel- le i ’way in below Tailholt went to?see the “ cracker barrel” cara­ van, and took a sack along to etch home some o f the crackers. He thought it was a “ guv’ment handout,” he said. He was told the truth— that the caravan was to serve as a check on handouts and unearned things and restor­ ation o f old-fashioned honesty and economy in government . „ . just the opposite o f what he thought it was. What we need, as our Greene county friends agree, is just that sort of cracker bar­ rel reinstatement. THERE ARE OTHERS Joe Louis’ mother is frightened by his return to the ring, the papers say. There are a lot uf boxers who share mama’s fright. CONTROLS The surest way to bring on price controls is to start hoard­ ing things. Nothing pjromcjtes scarcities like hoarding, and hoarding makes rationing and con­ trols certain. To avoid control o f commodity prices, DON’T hoard. UNEASY HEAD “ Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,” the adage-maker once said. King Leopold 11 holds up his hand to testify to the truth of that axiom. Things got tough’, and Leopold loped o ff to safe quarters. When the going got a bit easier at h o m e the king came back, on the invitation o f those who like kings. There are always king-lovers among all peoples. The going: has been tougher everybody s i n c e he came back. The people are throw­ ing things. APPRECIATION y Our neighbor, Sergius Vernet, over at Yellow Springs* sent a check fo r $100 to the state parks commission. He thinks John Bry­ an park is a fine thing to have. He thinks so to the tune of $100. “ We can sure use the money,” exclaimed chief Flickinger o f the state parks division. Apprecia­ tion so seldom runs into money that this is not only news but good editorial material. W A S ! WAR ! WAR! Perhaps a good many o f you nounced the people for their sin* and urged them to return to Jehov­ ah Lika Elijah, w* must realize and acknowledge the many evils of our time. BRIDGES Our county engineer reports only 19 covered bridges left in Greene county. There are more streams to be crossed in, our county than in many neighboring counties. Time was when the cov­ ered bridge was the accepted type o f bridge^ They lasted well. Only because o f the unforeseen heavy traffic have they failed, to meet the demands. No. covered bridge was ever built with a thought in mind that a 20-ton load would be passing over it some day! Youngsters are be­ ginning to exclaim when they see an old-styled wooden bridge. The writer’s grand-daughter, spying one ahead in the road, said: “ Oh, there’s a house bridge!” We’ve still got 19 o f and memory From Mary V.

But now, some 10 years later, the picture he bought hangs , in his daughter’s room and is one ; of her favorite .possessions. A few years ago fids little girl seemed mere interested in music than In art. Before she could operate 'the phonograph herself she would beg her moth­ er to play classical remrdiags. Experts .note that it is typical «f children that their interests change as they grow. Yet at one time or another .children enjoy all the arts—quite with­ out pressure from parents, ha- deed,' most attempts at forc­ ing art appreciation seem to produce ah attitude exactly op­ posite to that desired. No, help­ ing children enjoy the arts is more like gardening- You can’t open the seed and pry out the potential -flower. But you can provide fertile soil and a fav­ orable climate for seed germ­ ination and growth. Undoubtedly your home has pic­ tures upon its walls. But how and* why were these pictures hung?

They will,, that is, if tlie pictures are hung low enough for them to see. In(a child's own room at least, pictu^si should be hung at a child's eye level. * At first thought it seems that in most homes there are no examples of sculpture. Yet pleasingly shaped toys, w e l l made, oarefully finished, are really three dimensional art forms. Choose your youngster’s playthings with some thought to •' their structural pleasingness. Perhaps as a child you spent happy, hours playing with ‘ a collection of rocks - rough, smooth, angular, rounded. Now that radios, phonographs and most recently television sets have become common household equipment most children have am­ ple opportunities to hear music. Good books—those designed espe­ cially for childfen, and other grown-up books—should be jn the home, and placed where a child can browse without having to wait for an adult to get them for him. But don’t expect children to say much about liking art. How ade­ quately can you describe your feel­ ings . about seeing a magnificent sunset or hearing a Chopin Noc­ turne? And your youngster has been using words for but a fraction of the time you have.’ Some chil­ dren,, it,is. true, tbecome interested intellectually, They want to know who painted the,-picture, how, where? But when you read a poem to a child he may feel all warm in­ side, or lifted with exhilaration. In all probability he will remain si­ lent. Yet his admiration is just as genuine as that of the child who enthuses vocally. And the experi­ ence is-immensely valuable to both children in terms of esthetic devel­ opment.

S i r t h t M \ w - i i i ' ^ % 3 COME 17 YEARS AGO Robert fT; H^rz, (jhicago, was p la ced ^ charge o l * project that had^goa^tmT o f control. A group o f 390 merchants had made' 'down payments amounting to $30,000 for participating in a sales campaign involving free trips to the World’s Fair. An additional $10,000 had been invested by promoters. The money had all been spent when a fated weakness in the plan de­ veloped. Now if was up to Robert Hem to make a decision between two actions: gn 1— Ask the promoters to take the loss, and also refund the $30,000 (which was impractical if not impossible.) 2— Stand on their legal rights, make no re­ funds, but possibly face expensive and dangerous Carnegie civil and criminal action. There was the alternative o f salvaging the entire project and sinking another $50,000 in the project, but they would then be that much more involved. Robert had a week in which to work out a solution. Seven days! Of course he was in a dither. He says it was the WKit week ©f his entire life. H ow he envied the day laborer or the clerk who does what he is told and has to solve no problems, make no important deci­ sions. an earlier tax measure passed obsolete bazookas, by the House to reduce excise taxes. These excise tax cuts now out the window for the dur­ ation. A House - Senate Conference Committee has brought in a new agreed Social Security Bill com­ promising bhfe differences be­ tween the House and Senate Ver Under It The important fact is that we gave the South Koreans no air­ planes and no tanks, and no- heavy artillery or modem, ba­ zookas to stop the Russian tanks. The best trained troops in the world could not. have stood' against an attack by a .modern army under such circumstances. The night before his 'decision was to be presented, he felt ,, . , . ,waf 6<>iog crazy—and during fleeting moments ha almost fv t i w m y learn€d wished this were true.

I always approved military aid to specific countries like Greece and Turkey and Korea under threat of immediate Com­ munist aggressions, but opposed the wholesale project of arming all of Europe. In the second place, the Admin­ istration (for-some reason changed the policy of giving assistance to j Korea to defend itself against real aggression. The President said in his message on June 26: “In Korea the government forces were armed to prevent border raids and to preserve internal security." Of course, airplanes and tanks and heavy artillery are not required for this purpose, so that', even if the money had been spent, the Koreans would have been little better tiff; ,• v-r. *“ • « •' I voted also for economic aid to Korea, very little of which ever reached them and, of course, all of which, has now been wasted. * e * «. 'T ’HE truth is our Government. *■ had adopted a deliberate policy of not defending Korea or oppos­ ing Communist aggression. As late as May 5, Senator Connally, Chair­ man of the .Foreign Relations Committee, said: “Whenever Rus­ sia takes a notion,* she can over­ run Korea.” ■ He,was asked: “But isn’t Korea an essential part o l the defense strategy?" He replied: “ It has been testified before us that Japan, Okinawa and the Philippines ■make the chain of defense which is absolutely necessary.” ' We have now fortunately re­ versed that policy. But let’s not listen to Administration apolo­ gists who try ta blame the mili­ tary defeats on the South Ko­ reans, or General- MacArthur, or Republicans in Congress.
