The worst hazards are wreckless, im­ polite, dangerous drivers! How often a car races around you, violating all the rules o f safety —crossing wide, yellow lines, or ^ cutting in too soon, or barely miss­ ing an approaching car in the passing lane—or all of these! It is astonishing how many drivers pay HO attention at all to high­ way markings— the signboards of - safety. On examination, follow­ ing accidents, a multitude of mo­ torists admit they didn't see a stop sign or a caution signal, confessing they never notice such things. Near this writer’s home there is a triangular intersection with, a center section painted with the most gaudy yellow stripes. Hourly, drivers cross that strip a t full speed, unaware that it is forbidden ground. All safety be­ gins with obedience to warnings., TAFT COURAGEOUS Senator Robert A. Taft is the most courageous man in public life today. No other person in politics speaks his mind—and a very intelligent mind it is—so freely and so frankly. He seems to care nothing at all for the poli­ tical effect o f h is‘speeches, either private or public, and he says nothing to anybody he would not as readily say openly to every­ body. A ll o f his colleagues in Washington, regardless of poli­ tics, consider him unequaled for wisdom and intelligence, though many disagree with him for poli­ tical reasons, only. There is noth -" ing run-of-the-mine about Bob Taft. No public man in the his­ tory o f the country has ever been so bold as he, nor so earnest nor so intent on serving America, which is his interpretation of the best way to serve the world. A TRILLION DOLLARS A scheme for ridding the world o f communism is suggested. We can do it, they say, by spending a trillion dollars. Anybody in the audience with a trillion dollars on "him, please step up—Uncle Sam would like to have a private audience with you. Oh, there you are! We might have known you would volunteer. You always do. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the man o f the hour, Mr. Ultimate Consumei-. He offers to foot the hill o f the trillion-dollar pro­ gram of ridding the world o f communism. He says he might as well make it a trillion—any­ thing over §10 might as well be a trillion. WAR NEWS AGAIN So soon again we are reading and hearing war news. Names o f . foreign towns, strange rivers and far-away places are pounded into our ears and paraded before our eyes. Tanks and planes and foot- soldiers are in the reports. The radio commentators boom the news at us. The newspaper head­ lines scream at us. And, we burn­ ed children, by no means recover­ ed from two world wars with no results except hatred and loss in men and money and prestige, shudder at what the skirmish in Korea may mean. It’s had busi­ ness any way you look at it. UNHAPPY RUSSIANS Despite the opaque iron cur­ tain we catch glimpses o f what’s going on behind it. One o f the certain things is that the Rus­ sian people are by no means sat­ isfied with the Red regime. Under , what was considered the tyranny o f the czars the Russians re­ ceived far better treatment than under the Kremlin’s iron hand. They know they are being kept in ignorance, subjection and pov­ erty. A ll the hoo-rsh about the Great Generalissimo Stalin doesn’t sink in. HEARTS FIRST When American troops, retreat­ ing under heavy fire in Korea, came upon a baby, naked, for­ saken and crying, they turned a- side to pick her up and care for her until she could be turned over to people who could da bett er by her. It is this heart supremacy that makes Ameircan soldiers dif­ ferent from any breed o f military men in the world* MORE TAXES A plan is being discussed in congress o f laying a heavy extra tax on war incomes. Who will pay the tax? Ah, turning pale? You should. You pay all the taxes, no matter in what names or by .what method they are laid.. .NAUSEA On® of the air lines carries a piano and Frank Sinatra sang a- hjft to the passengers on a re- ffight to Europe.

HARPER Mary, the Mother of Jesus Lesson for August 27: Luke 1: 26-48; 2: 48-51; Mark 3: 31-35; John 19: 25-27; Acts 1:14 Memory Selections Luke 1:46-47 T HE FIRST-PASSAGE in the les­ son text records a part" of Mary’ s song of rejoicing when she had been greeted by Elizabeth as the mother of the Lord. The song has become known as the Mag­ nificat. In the second passage we read of Mary as she found the boy Jesus in the temple. The third shows Mary and sons Seeking Jesus as he taught a multitude. The fourth depicts the scene at the cross, when Jesus committed his mother to the care of John. The last tells of Mary, after the resur­ rection, praying with the disciples In the upper room. From these several passages we leam that Mary came only at the last to realize how truly great was her Son—came to sit, as it were, at his feet as the Saviour of the world. Mary Is not due the adoration of the Roman church, but she should "be accorded a higher place among Protestants t h a n is ‘ commonly given her. Stainless in soul, ever a tender and: solicitous mother as she watched over her iliustrous Son, she exhibited at times human errors in dealing with him, but came at last to the full under­ standing of his mission and to trust in him for the life which he had come to bring ir.en more abun­ dantly. Let us give Mary an exalted place as the mother of our Lord, the while we pray to God alone and trust in Mary’ s great Sea for redemption and eternal life.

What do teen-agers have to feel g fBZgR g on all corporate earnings in i950. Undoubtedly in 195.1 taxes on both individual and corporate in­ comes wall be increased again; and a tax on excess profits of corporations is expected to be levied. , Late last week congress gave final approval to H. R. 6909, n- mending tbe social security act to increase benefits to workers now retired by an average of 77 percent, and to those to be re­ tired in the' future by approxi­ mately 190 percent. An estimated ten million additional workers including farm laborers, domes­ tics and the non-professional .self- employed are brought under the social security/system. Amounts ed to fill. The construction of many fed­ eral public works projects already_ approved will be postponed, at least until the present emergency ends. Shortage of manpower, ma­ terials and increased costs are re­ reports these as the most impor- - tant ones, according to a recent sur­ vey, of high school students: being > ijealous of brothers and sisters, be- , ting,ashamed of parents, thinking a lot about sex, liking the wrong peo- „ ~ pie, losing tempers easily, not be- sponsible for holding up all such ..big loyal to principles, persisting projects not absolutely necessary. The armed services committees of both house and senate have ap­ proved legislation for assistance to families of enlisted service men in the three lower grades—pri- in bad. habits, failing to make the most of opportunities. This list points up the fact that the parents’ problem isn’t one of getting teen-agers to realize that they have faults, but one of helping them to do something constructive. A friendly suggestion is more likely to be followed than a stern com­ mand. For example, it doesn’t help to say to a tomboyish teenager, “ Why can’t you be more ladylike?" Clinging to tomboy ways is usually a reaction to the difficulties of growing up. Parents can best dis­ courage the tendency by buying at­ tractive clothes and encouraging more feminine pursuits such as dancing. "Crushes” on a teacher or older girl should not be laughed at; neither should they be en­ couraged for a long period. In- stead, opportunities for other friendships can be encouraged, perhaps by helping the girl ac­ quire a new skill, so that the tennis club or the photography group will ask her to join. A girl who experiences family Hie as pleasant will be able to see herself as a mother of a grow­ ing family and will accept her future* role more easily. In all these matters, however, it guilty about? A teen-age magazine ^should be remembered that the (adolescent is especially sensitive to (criticism. Usually he is even more (acutely aware of his shortcomings (than are his parents. Often he’ s in- iwardly appalled by his mistakes..

KETLLiAN, Surrey, England, is a junior captain employed by a . worldr-wide air-charter company. He is also a member o f the local council o f the association, which is the pilot’s trade union in England. a For two and a half years the company had paid an overseas allowance o f around a hundred dollars (But in British currency, o f course). They knew that there was much dissatisfaction about this payment and they wanted to. remove that dissatisfaction at as little cost to the com­ pany as possible. So their first move was to send a letter asking fo r expressions o f opin- ion among the crew members. This was fo l­ lowed by another letter stating that the majority had agreed to a decided reduction, and also a change in duty. Then came a third '#■ letter stating that this amount was limited to certain o f the crew. The company ob­ viously was determined to settle matters in its own way. # And now dissension was rife. Everyone felt that a*dirty trick bad been played by the company; tempers were soaring. Captain Kellan felt that he should do something about it. "What he would have preferred doing was to write and tell the company officials that they had offered apples but had given crab-apples. He knew he would have much on his side, and he knew that the company wasn’t feeling too comfortable as those officials wondered how their moves would be taken. But Captain Kellan thought it over. To write as he felt would irritate the officers. He knew that every man had a nobler side, so he decided to appeal to the nobler motives of those who had made these moves, and to write in such a way that would enable them to “ save their faces ” « So he wrote a friendly personal letter to the man­ aging director, taking the attitude that he wanted to help all concerned, and not just the crew members. The letter is tooTong to quote here, but, in effect he said that the men were telling each other that “ a fast one has been pulled on us.” He added that he felt the company would lose a lot of good w ill i f they carried out their intentions. Then he suggested that an unintentional mistake had been made that would cause great harm for the company. What happened? Well, just what Captain Kellan hoped for. He was thanked and he was told the mistake would be rectified. Had he written as*he had at first wanted to write, he nay* he knows he would’have -been tbe sgpiftic when his name came up for promotion^ tWHlLE^ the new" expenditures ” are Heavy; they can ' be paid ent administration favorite, '"is-for out of taxes and handled on a also being mentioned, there are pay-as-you-go basis. That'iis the many who feel he would. bt. no fir®t step to Prevent inflation.' It- has been repeatedly provedjby-ex­ perience that the government can­ not borrow vast sums; of money and then hope by the imposition of controls to prevent for long the inevitable inflationary eSects.:-'If we want to stop1 inflation, we have mg program for H ip -r,,?, ~"*v* to stop it at the source.

As another example of the con­ fusion and indecision which exist in official Washington today: Two weeks ago the president an­ nounced that, while he still fa vors a universal military train Defense Johnson submitted a uni­ versal military training bill to congress and requested its eailv enactment. Two days later (last Thursday) President Truman a- gam issued a statement that hp was not-asking, for UMT at this time. So the bill will not be con­ sidered at this time.. Military T suggest therefore that we’ should (1) economize on all do­ mestic expenditures; (3) ’levy taxes to cover all. contemplated expenditures and levy them at once, no matter how burden^ some they appear; (3) impose controls on the increase of pri­ vate credit.

Under present' plans our military strength will be built up to between 2 1-2 and men as S ick ly as uos- sibfe. If conditions' grow worse and complete mobilization is hr!’ dered from 12 to 15 million Amer- mans will be called to arras. The house, last Thursday, r e ­ jected a bill to create another federal judgeship in the Cleve­ land or nort hem district of Ohio.- The reason: There has been" a judgeship vacancy in the same district for more than a year* ■which President TSnnan has fail- it is unnecessary to grant any siicb arbitrary and dictatorial powers over industry as are proposed in the President’s bill; While it omits ■those controls which might be con­ sidered unpopular in an election year, price control, wage controls and consumer rationing, in every other field it gives completely ar­ bitrary power over the operation of industry, commerce and agri­ culture; It gives the power to requisition any property in the United States, to loan money to anyone to go into any business the- government chooses to go into The whole Brannan Plan could bi put into effect under this bill. It seems to me that the only new powers needed are the pow­ ers to control credit and those .direct powers, necessary to se­ cure the manufacture of muni­ tions and supplies of the armed forces. The other powers, as well as price, control, wage control and rationing, might well be " part .of a general grant in .case o f all-out war. We could work on the draft of a statute which could be agreed to and prompt- ■ ly enacted in case such a war occurred.• * * * ARBITRARY government con trol is not a cure for inflation W e fool ourselves if we think that these controls prevent inflation. .They attempt to. prevent the re­ sults without striking at the cause... „The-way to prevent inflation is t o ' •go on a pay-as-you-go ‘basis. We face a -new status of a semirgamson state, forced on .us : by the *Russian threat. However we got’ there, now we have to pay for it. « Let’s not fo o l ourselves by think- ■ irig>we can borrow the money and go--on-<enjoying ourselves "to the ■full, on a domestic spree. We have 1 to give up sorne. o f our purchasing power heretofore available for do­ mestic purposes in the form of tax­ ations so-it can be spent for war purposes. (We- cannot have some­ thing for nothing.? In the end,, we would pay for it much more vio- lently in money* >and - increased prices. ‘ W h a te v e r th e ' s itu a tio n As brought about-by. Russian aggress sion.and administrative policy, it ought to be .faced now and ought not to tie hidden and concealed until after November 7. vates, privates first class and corporals in the army, and equi­ valent grades in the other serv­ ices. These benefits, designated as “ quarters alowances,” would run $85.09 monthly for one de­ pendent, $110.00 for two, and $125 for three, with the service man contributing $40.00 monthly to­ ward these allowances. Ray Bliss, GOP headman in. Ohio, is “ intent on getting Repub- 1 licans to vote at the next elec­ tion.” About 150,000 of them didn’t bother to do it the last time, he says. If he can get ’em to vote for Taft, ’ray for Ray. We see that Milly Mills had dinner-recently with John House —one on the House.
