Friday, August 11,1950 The Cedarville, O- Herald Editorial A LIFE OF SERVICE Our neighbor, Ross township’s farmer-teacher,, Loren Rogers, has retired from a job he has held so long that he has become synonomous with Ross township school. Very few teachers^ have such a career as his. It is im­ possible to measure the service such a life renders to a commun­ ity, and to the world. As years go, Loren Rogers, is not an old man, and nothing pleases his friends more than to know that he will continue to live in the community. We, his neighbors, share that pleasure. OUR ROAD IS GOOD While a Federal highway is red-lined on the road maps through our town, State Route 72 belongs to us by a bit more of family kinship. The new_ wear­ ing surface recently applied im­ proves it gresftly. The berms are better, the curves banked a bit more securely, and it is much safer with its nonskid top-coating than it was. No Ohio road goes through a better territory than oux own 72. TAXES VS. BONDS There is a valid argument, and Senator Taft champions it, that paying cash fo r a war is much, better than borrowing money to do it. That is, taxes are better than bonds. Don’t shudder when you»hear “ more taxes.” They are inescapable. Taxes of every de­ scription and on everything may appear, and soon. Korea sounds a long ways off, but that makes cost more. Wars have a habit of hanging on. It takes money— v billionsi on billions—to carry on *a war. PERMANENT Change is the rule of life. Hardly anything escapes it. Dif­ ferent things, different mechan­ ics, different practices— every­ thing changes; that is, nearly everything. One thing that seems to remain, as Popeye the spinach­ eating says “pernament,” is the barker at the side-show and the concession. Old timers remem­ ber him o f yore—his raucous voice and his song-and-dance calls to the passing throngs. He was at our-fair last week, reap­ ing a harvest by his age-old methods. Change hasn’t affected the barker. GRASS LOOKS FINE You’ve noticed, even town folk, how farmers are turning their at­ tention to grass crops, with less grain culture? But the war may put the accent again on grain. We’ve wondered, lamented and even complained about the im­ mense amount o f grain stored, some o f it here in Greene county. But, who knows, it may become as scarce as it has been plentiful within a year! But about grass— there’s a field along SR-72 mid­ way between Jamestown and Ce- daxville in which new grass is the best of the best. You’ve seen it? Do. *• WEATHERMAN KIND No -agent o f Greene county's 111th fair did it a better turn than the weatherman. No fai,r anywhere, any time, ever had a greater fair day than Thursday was. An afternoon like that in early August, on Thursday o f a county fair, is a break everybody appreciates. You were there? You noticed everybody else was, too. BROKEN HEARTS AGAIN Day and night now mothers, sisters and sweethearts are see­ ing young men go away to war, and, knowing by two recent ex­ periences- what happens, they have broken hearts. This writer recalls with an ache in his throat seeing hundreds of mothers cling­ ing to manly sons at railroad sta­ tions as good-byes, too often fi­ nal ones, were said. To think that ‘ so soon it is all being done over again! THE .RED HUNT An Ohio editor remarks that there are as many Reds in Ohio as the FBI says there are we’d better avoid establishing a par­ allel, Just when does a red her­ ring change to a Red subversive? Wouldn’t it be cheaper and bet­ ter to ‘chase the Reds out in the open now than when Uncle Joe thinks it’s USA’s turn? What’s wrong with running down Reds, in the government or out-7 ACHESON FROWNS A headline says, “ Acheson frowns on a loan to Spain.” The senate proposed a loan o f $100,- 000,000. The ciphers aren't as significant as the 1 in front o f them. Time was when that much money would have bought Spain, dancing girls, medieval castles - and everything. But dictators have higher budget it seems. ROfcSTT.ii H A R F 5 M ? BEV. ROBERT H. HARPER Esroi Interpreter of GctPt Word Lesson for Aaptsl 13* Nebemieb 8: 1 4 * 5-6 8, 10, 18 Memory Selections Uebemieb 8; 10 E ZRA was the preserver o f God’s Word before ha became its interpreter. He gathered tb* books of the Old Testament substantially as we have them today. But his greater work was interpretation. Reading in the Word to the peo­ ple assembled in the space before the water fate in Jerusalem, he was assisted by trained helpers who explained wh'ai had been read to smaller numbers when, at inter­ vals, the assembly divided into “ discussion groups.” Wiese helpers should serve as models for preach­ ers and teachers o f the present. For they “ read in the law of God distinctly; and they gave th* sense, so that they understood the read­ ing." The great day brought a revival. The study of God’s Word went on from day to day. The Feast of Tab­ ernacles was revived, and on the eighth day there was “ a solemn assembly, according unto the or­ dinance." It is evident that the lives of the people were powerfully affected for good. A revival is needed in our coun­ try—on a scale necessarily more vast than that led by Ezra. It must begin with the reading of God’ s Word, now more rich and full by the addition o f the New Testament. It must have the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the preaching of new life through faith in Christ. Let each of us begin in his own place and in his own heart. May God give, us the eagerness of Ezra’ s hearers and a new will to live by the truth of the great Book! In Congress With a Buckeye CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes ' ( The house xharched up the hill and down again for four long days last week in its endeavor to enact pom'* -<>rt of *■’ "n- nomic control J»ll. The adminis­ tration-sponsored bill, while con­ ferring upon the president great­ er powers and authorities to con­ trol credit, allocate materials, li­ cense business enterprises, seize property, make loans, and build and.operate war plants, than were given President Roosevelt during World War II. contained no pro­ visions tb control prices or Wages, or to ration scarce commodities. President Truman has insisted-, he does not want or need wage and price controls, or rationing powers; but the country and the congress appear to think some such authority may be needed to prevent inflation. All o f the various proposals to meet the .Situation considered last week were turned down. The house banking and currency committee will attempt to work out some amended bill fo r presentation to •the house Wednesday or Thurs­ day o f this week. * A vote is scheduled in the house Thursday on the confer­ ence report on H. R. 6000—a bill to amend the social security act. The compromise bill prac­ tically doubles , social security "IREMOTER” BY THE0LB TIMERS From H. E .

She is high above a used-car lot in San Fran­ cisco. She is 25, and pretty, dis­ patches say. Her name is Nortna Leech. She ought to stick it out, eh? NOT CAMERA-IZED Angus cattle can do every­ thing perfectly, it seems, except get their picture in the paper. If it were as hard to find an Angus at milking time as it is to find it's picture in the paper, supper would be over. A beautiful Angus heifer, the Yellow Springs 4-H-er won the_ first prize with, is pictured but she could use some o f the white­ wash that's so plentiful down at Washington. -Year by year we see more black cattle in the fields and in show rings and wearing prize ribbons, but it’s still hard to locate one in a newspaper picture. But Jerry Fulton’s “ Tiny” is a beauty, isn’t she? PROGRESS People applauded the Hoover commission and its recommenda­ tions for reorganizing the x- ecutive branch of the government. But making it work is another thing* Already, though the people hardly realize it, more than a half dozen laws have been pas­ sed under the Hoover recom­ mendations. It’s a long way to go back to sanity .and stability. But the grand old man, the elder statesman, has pointed the way. •.uHtfM&tOY* der the Anheuser-Busch’ and ‘In My Merry Oldsmobile/ Let’s hear from some other old timers who re­ member similar songs of yester­ year." -*_ , From E.

An­ other appropriation of 3 billion for foreign economic aid during th i present fiscal year has also been voted: The senate jumped into the center o f a controversial issue last week by overwhelmingly voting a $100 million loan to Spain, notwithstanding the op­ position of Secretary o f State Acheson. Fifteen years ago a "bitter civil war was fought in any suspicious persons or actions to the nearest FBI office. It was announced last week the 450 larger corporations of the nation had 43 pereent higher profits, before taxes, in the sec­ ond quarter of this year—from April 1 to June 30—than for the same period of 1949. Despite prop­ aganda to the contrary, none of these corporation profits were made as a result of the Korean outbreak on June 25. However, with partial mobilization ordered and war activity greatly" in­ creased, congress, will soon pro­ vide for renegotiation of defense contracts to permit recapture of exorbitant profits, and undoubted­ ly will also levy a new excess profits tax. / Last week the atomic energy commission contracted with the Dupont company to build and operate a huge new plant for the developemnt of the hydrogen bomb. Under this contract the Dupont company—one -of the corporations often under attack from radical sources—will re­ ceive from the government the large fee of one dollar fo r its services on the H bomb project, which will cost many hundreds c f millions of dollars. One of the oldest methods of ‘warfare, from neighborhood spats to international combats, is lies. We’ve got the world’s champion in that field lined up against us.

For two years past he had been caught In a vicious circle where economic insecurity caused worry; escape from worry was sought In alcohol; and the use of al­ cohol interfered with his sales and aggravated the economic insecurity. jYell,. that was indeed a vicious circle. But lets see whether George Temmen extricated himself. He says he hasn’t the slightest doubt that he was kept on the rolls o f the company he Carnegie was working for because o f his family. But ✓ he couldn t expect them to bear with him any longer. So when he was iolai they didn't need his services for any further period,Jbe wasn’t surprised, though it did come as a shock. He knew that it would be difficult to find anoUiftr job anywhcM near as good, once a prospective employer learned why the company had let him out* He swallowed his pride and pleaded for a trial contract for another six months. Reluctantly the man before him granted him another chance, but for only six months. Now i t was up to him! He analyzed the causes behind In­ creased drinking. He had never been a problem drinker in the Alcoholics Anonymous sense, but he had beeiYdrinking more and more with each passing day. He decided to give it up for one day. When he took a drink the next day he felt guilty. Next, he decided to ask himself to to himself “No thank you,” as he put his mind definitely on.something else. That made it a little easier, strange as it may -Seem. * ' J4 *' * , He-wow found that it came a little easier each time j L town. In a matter o f three weeks, he mda taw n i a drink.

Such economies are • » • badly needed, inasmuch as the president had requested more thas $27 billion fo r defense pur­ poses during this fiscal year, and the estimated deficit for the year, despite the proposed tax inrreas- es, is about $12. billion—with the probability that both defense costs and the deficit will rise. The senate finance committee, now working over the house ap­ proved tax revision bill to put into effect the president’s de­ mand fo r tax increases, last week voted to levy new excise taxes of 10 per cent on television sets- and home freezer units. With fed­ eral taxes jumping sharply this"' year, and higher taxes scheduled for next year, it may be of inter .Observers here declare that the Korean affair is the show­ down with Russia. They believe that if Russia becomes con­ vinced that this country and the other free nations will see the Korean war through to the end, regardless of cost or that we are,ready to fight Russia her­ self, then Russia may call a halt short of a general, war. Or Russia’s aims may include inci­ dent after incident in the Ko­ rean manner which will keep the United States on a war basis for years, in the hopes that iviH weaken this country so that we will be a soft tonch for the Rus­ sian Bear later on.

After five months of smearing of inno­ cent persons during which time the Wisconsin solon has not proved,a single charge, - the ’ sub-committee of the senate committee conducting the investigation returned.a report asserting that Senator McCarthy had perpetrated a fraud and a hoax on the senate and the people of the country. The report was accepted on a strict party line vote. The- thinking here is that the report may end the smear program and the senate -may go about its business. However, if Senator McCarthy, will not keep still, there are many here who ..believe an attempt will be made to impeach him. A Congressional Investigation * of alleged scandals in the Vet­ erans Administration may be the next probe undertaken by this probe-conscious congress. According to information the scandal broke in Tennessee with tbe suspension of 10 top officials In that state for alleged irregu­ larities in connection with tbe school program for veterans. In ^connection with the veterans program, the American Legion has announced that it will eliminate its lobbying activities with reference to pensions and bonus plans and for all other unnecessary expendi­ tures with regard to veterans. The Legion will devote its full time to backing up the President and the government in its fight against Communists in Korea a n d else­ where. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, GOP floor leader in the senate,, wants to be sure of the money ap­ propriated for publicity in the De­ partment of.Agriculture Is used to promote the Brannan plan. So he got through an amendment that the funds set' up for the department’s information service ($1,265,800,) may be used pnly to publicize pro- ' grams that have been authorized by congress.
