Men didn’t rush to buy clothes when the first war scare hit us. Records show that men bought er clothes than they did in the same period last year. But women bought 10 times as many. Well? THE PENALTY We Americans go around with our thumbs in our galluses brag­ ging about how we have grown. Just look at the census figures, we exclaim; look bow big we are! Why, see how our own little town has grown. We forget that that means more congressmen! WE GOTTA LIKE IT! Washington is being deluged with mail from, all over the coun­ try proesting the huge appropri­ ations for war, but evidencing a willingness to go along with what­ ever program the government de­ cides to follow. In other words— We don’t like it, but let’s go! S B P * I n c h r SPRINTER King Leopold found what Mark Twain called "the king business” pretty rough, so he turned the throne and its calico dust cover over to his little boy, Badouin, The lad may better than his name sounds . . . and in case of trouble he can run faster than his dad. OBEY SIGNS Safety authorities declare that obedience to all road signs—signs of caution, speed, stops, etc.— does more towards safety than anything except courtesy and the driver’s general caution. Too many drivers either don’t see the highway markings, or don’t want to see them.

And the little woman owes the same, remember, and each one of the kids. But don’t include in your gift to the newlyweds a note saying: “You folks owe $3,432, besides the furniture and the television.” DIRECTIONS Tom McCarthy, Times-Star’s voice on WKRC, told a listening world th a t the Wilmington fair would have a fine afternoon be­ cause “the skies are fair up a-” bove,” and good ol’ Wash Fayette reported th a t a roadway in the land of the rising sun had "sunk down." Tom and Wash give it to us straight. They’ve got their directions right. BIG FIGURES We are so used to big figures th a t they don’t interest us much, /nor frighten us. Government fig­ ures are so huge that anything under billions seems trilling. We bad in mind to mention that Gen­ eral Motors did $292.9 millions business in the first quarter of I960. That all came from selling a million cars and' trucks. No won­ der there’s no place to park! ___ frmoti I f j s v . r o k & t a harper 4 3 BEY. ROBERT H. HARPER John, the Preacher of Repentanc Lesson for August 20; Luke 3: 7-20 Memory Selectioni Luke 3: S I OHN, the son of a priest and a kinsman of Jesus, dwelt in man­ hood in the wilderness of Judea, dressing in skins and eating locusts and wild honey. This rustic became the greatest man of his time, with the exception of Jesus. The Lord said of him that, there had not aris­ en a greater than John the Baptist. In the wilderness John, called up­ on men to repent. Multitudes went to hear him, many from Jerusa­ lem. Rich and poor, great and hum­ ble were alike included in his burn­ ing denunciations, and heard his call to repent. He pointed those who repented to a godly life. He foretold the coming of One who should gather the wheat and 4burn the chaff. John was baptizing with water; Jesus would baptize riien with the Holy Ghost. John dared to rebuke Herod, the tetrarcb, for taking his brother Philip’s wife. For that he roused the hatred of the adulterous wom­ an, and John, the man of the open, was cast Into a foul dungeon. Scon his head was cut off and brought to the woman’s dancer daughter. Thus John died, but he has lived on in the world through the ages since. Let us be witnesses fer Christ, as bold and uncompromising with sin as was John, and as faithful in pointing men to the Saviour. A DEFINITE PLAN Don’t laugh off the idea that Russia wants to ^overthrow the American government, and set up a communistic system. Iius-ia wants to do exactly that. Such i- the main project of nil lit*’*plan­ ning.

BROWN Writes After nearly two weeks of hec­ tic debate.* the House last Thurs­ day passed a compromise eco­ nomic bill. In its final form the bill gives the President many of the powers he requested to meet the national emergency, includ­ ing the right to seize porperty needed for national defense, to require industries to (produce mil­ itary supplies, to allocate scarce strategic materials, and to make Federal loans for construction of defense plants. The President was also authorized to control con­ sumer credits, but not to control private real estate credits and other private credits as requested, ihe House also restricted con­ trols over agricultural activities and commodity exchanges. A new section was added to give the President stand-by authority to control prices and wages, and in­ stitute rationing, when deemed necessary, with price and wage controls effective at the same time. Other amendments were <t- Popud to protect the freedom of tiie press, radio, television, news reels, etc.; and to fix the expira­ tion date for the law as not later than June 30th, 1931. The senate is expected to complete action on the economic controls legislation some time this week.

Richardson of Denver, Colo.: “I remember when tallow candles were used in most homes before the days of the oil lamp. Wicks were hung in molds from crosspieces and tallow poured into the 'molds. When the tallow got solid, the molds would be heated slightly so the candle would slip House-approved Hobbs Bill, which provides convicted criminal aliens who have been ordered deported, but whose homelands will not ac­ cept them, to he imprisoned until they can be deported.

The first I re­ member seeing was Ihe Westerly tugboat that went to Stonington, Conn., that towed two- and three- sailed schooners to Westerly in the days when coal was shipped east by boat; later freight trains took over. The first passenger steamer I remember was the Sadie, which sailed between Watch Hill and Westerly, R. I. Then there was the Julia, then the Golden Star, .a big double ender too wide to tuz-n.

The Congress will give the President all the author­ ity he seeks to control the “red menace” here at home. The sen­ ate last week passed a bill pro­ viding thg death sentence- for treason „in peace tinie. Growing public pressure is expected to force Administration leaders to permit the Mundt bill, requiring1 registration of Communists and communistic organizations, t 0 be brought up for a vote in the Sen­ ate. The president, while asking fos a law to require convicted alien criminals to report their whereabouts regularly to the At­ torney General, is opposing the policies be changed —that the people deliberately give up some domestic e x p e n d itu re s , even though they are desirable in the long run. The single-package appropria­ tion bill is only part of the neces­ sary program for a legislative: budget. The LaFollette-Monroney bill provides that a joint commit­ tee of the House and Senate set up a legislative budget and have it approved by Congress before the first of March. This provision has been ignored by the last two Congresses because the machinery was awkward and Congress as a whole could not well commit itself before investigating theoexpendi­ tures requested. In my opinion, the joint ap­ propriations committees should be given an adequate staff to follow the making of the execu­ tive budget before Congress meets. Some kind of a -budget committee including represen- , tatives of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committee should then early in the session recommend a budget, both on the revenue side and the appropriation side. I do not think Congress should be asked to ap­ prove it in advance by resolu­ tion. * # rpHROUGH its appropriation committees, it will investigate all the details, consider the execu­ tive budget recommended, and the legislative budget recommended. While it will not be bound by tl\e legislative budget, undoubtedly that budget will have an effect on its work. I do not see how Congress can act intelligently without some defi­ nite plan to work towards. The one-package appropriation bill and the legislative budget are not con­ venient, and they do not fit the customary approach of individual Congressmen and Senators who are more interested in specific ap­ propriations and policies than in the-sound financial result. It seems to me that it is the only way to get any intelligence into government financial plan; ning, and that there is iio other way of avoiding deficit spending ■certainly leading inevitably to inflation, higher prices and eco­ nomic instability. of 1.

But aside from admoni- ions to serve a balanced diet, there has been little concern over father’s mealtime. Is it the refreshing, health and energy restoring inter­ lude it should be? Never has the business world nor its professional or industrial counterpart been more compet­ itive titan it is today. For most men, making a living is a pretty hectic-matter. Still, Mr. Ameri­ ca is a pretty uncomplaining fellow, and so we tend to for-* get that his health and happi­ ness depend upon his getting dnough rest and relaxation after w o r k hours. Cheerfully fee surges out with the rush hour orowd, elbows his way into a crowded bus or train, mentally hurries Mmself along in eager­ ness to be home. Hut all too often when he gets there bedlam begins. His wife greets him with an admonition to hurry to the table, the youngest is hun­ gry. He’d like to shower hut Suzie is in the tub. So Dad hur­ riedly slaps a little water on his hot brow and sits down to a far from peaceful meal. Feeding the children first is a partial answer. But i t Is not a com­ plete solution. For if the youngsters j are through eating first they are also free to interrupt the grownups unless something is done to pre­ serve the atmosphere of an adult meal. One family successfully achieves an hom of peace by put­ ting their toddler gate across the opening between the living and din­ ing rooms. Each evening they make a pleasant ritual of closing the gate and saying “Now it’s quiet time." Usually they promise some gay ac­ tivity later—-“Daddy will play catch with you outside after supper.” Or “We’ll all have a game of croquet.” But in the meantime no questions are answered and theri are no shouted conversations for the brief space of an hour. When there’s an o n l y child, Mother provides some quiet diver­ sion—a magazine to cut paper dolls from, some beads to string. This is a good'-time to turn on the tele­ vision set, too, for many children’s* programs are scheduled from 5 ta 7. In'summer the children can play outside until Daddy joins them. Of coarse, arranging a peace­ ful interlude for Dad is no easy matter for Mother since the hours between 5 and 7 are her busiest ones. Her tasks usually include children’s hath, chil­ dren’s dinner, baby’s bottle, adult dinner, table setting, dish washing. No wonder she weari­ ly turns the youngsters over to Dad the minute he steps into the house. And she’s right to ex­ pect masculine help. But she’ll find Dad a much more ade­ quate aid if lie’s had a 15 min­ ute breather. Let him say “Hel­ lo” and then march straight to Ms room. When he's showered, c h a n g e d intb comfortable clothes, or just slumped in an easy chair a few minutes, he’ll be down to play with Junior while Mather sets the table. Another way to.help a man re< lax at dinner is to avoid discussing unpleasant -domestic problems at the table. After dinner, Dad will probably enjoy giving the baby his bottle, or reading to the older chil­ dren. He may even suggest a rough- and-tumble game. The happy laugh­ ter of children and father will prove the value of t h e dinner “quiet time.” grade meat for sale a t five cents per pound.
