Editoria l IT ’S BEEN FIVE YEARS It’s been five years, plus a few days, since Japan susrendesed with a simple ceremony abroad the Missouri. At that ceremony General McArthur said, “ Let ns pray th a t' peace be restored to the world and that God will pre­ serve it always.” Look what the five years have brought! CROWDED SCHOOLS Where to put them that’s the big school problem, in addition cto how to pay the teachers and the other expenses. But nothing is so important in all America as the schools, not even winning wars. Here is Greene County with, our 50 per cent increase in popu­ lation—the highest in Ohio—the school housing problem is al­ ready critical. At the moment he local school can handle the pu­ pils, at the rate school enroll­ ment is going up very soon we’ll have to build a larger school house. The schools ^ire the No, 1 item pn every agenda the country has. SMASHUPS The highways become more and more crowded. Trucks and passengers jampack them. Main highways present a parade of vehicles, and a continued story o f mishaps. Every newapapoj.* has its tales of wrecks and acci­ dents. Things go wrong mechan­ ically, drivers make errors in judgment, some are discourteous and careless. Every day, every­ where, by every means the les­ sons o f safety should and must be taught—lessons on caution, on courtesy and obedience to all traffic signs and rules. We must stop this life-taking, property­ damaging, discourteous behavior on the public highways. JOE HANLEY This writer first learned to know Joe Hanley more than a quarter of a century ago. A t that time he was pastor o f a small church in Perry, a northeastern New York town. He was a popu- •lar speaker over that state and capitalized on his fame by enter­ ing politics. He has remained a favorite with the people of New York by earning their approval. Stepping aside that his chief may continue to “ be governor o f the state (they hope) he plans to run for the senate. No man can poll as many votes in the metro- plis o f New York City as he will, all agree. That, friends, is what America means, and what it must continue to mean the possL bility o f any honest, reliable, able person climbing to the top in public esteem and favor by sheer ability. Nice fellow, Joe Hanley. INFLATION Silly talk, this expression o f fear about inflation being just around the corner. Inflation is not just around the corner. ^In­ flation is here—in the grocery, at the filling station, in the cloth­ ing store, at the coal office— inflation is here. You’ve tried to make ?5 buy the food $2 used to buy, or ?6 pay the hotel bill $2.50 used to pay, or $10 buy the pub­ lic transportation $6 used to buy—or any sum of money do whathalf the sum used to do? That’s inflation in its most rec­ ognizable form. The president has suggested that shortly the average family will have an in­ come o f $12,000 a year. That is not a promise, it is a threat. What the average family craved is a $ 2,000 income that will buy what they bought when they had it. A SURE WAY OUT One of the most inane'positions to take is that a person or a pro- " duct is essential. Individuals are expendable a n d supplantahle. Substitutes take the place o f . commoditiesr apidly. Once upon a time the anthracite coal indus­ try considered itself essential to the very existence o f the people o f New York and Philadelphia. It behaved itself unseemly. Re­ sult—those cities turned to bi­ tuminous coal and hard coal was soon begging for consideration which was never regained. Soft coal has lost out in the same v fashion everywhere. The coal industry drove itself out o f busi­ ness, or nearly so. There is no surer road to ruin than self suf­ ficiency and an attitude of indis- pensihflity. Be sure to register. USA h*as had strikes this year but there has been none o f the terrors that once marked them. Twenty-two items in one news­ paper had to do with automobile . 1 mishaps. That is 22 too many. Some o f us remember when farmers lamented they had no ^organization. No group is more lihoroughly organized now. O ^ r o b ^ p I j “ r e v . ROBERT H- HARPER . , James, Leader oi the Jerusalem Church Lesson for September 17: Acts 15: 13-20; Galatians 2:9-12 Memory Selection: James 1:22 I N THE GREAT CONTRAST be­ tween his early and laUr life, James may remind us of the two preceding lessons. Like Peter and John Mark, James made «ovd in his later life. Jesus had four broth­ ers and at least two sisters^ Qne brother was James, He* and others of the family did not at first real­ ize the greatness of their brother. Not until after the resurrection did they become Christians. James became known as the Just. As head of the mother church in Jerusalem he had the oppor­ tunity of making a decision tnat saved Christianity from being a small Jewish sect. Twenty years had passed since the resurrection. The church in Antioch had some Gentile members. A discussion arose as to whether or not the Jewish rites, still followed by Jewish converts, should be Im­ posed upon Gentiles. The Antioch Church sent Paul and Barnabas to inquire of the mother church in Jerusalem. James handed down the decision that Jewish rites should not be required of Gentile converts. They were to abstain from pollution of idolatry and gross immorality. Though James never quite over­ came his Jewish prejudices, the decision he handed down freed the Christian church to begin its car­ eer as a world-wide church. Let us in our churches today be firm and uncompromising in the fundamentals of our faith, but let us . be tolerant in non-essential things. There is no such thing as be­ ing too careful when driving: School children do not always obey safety rules. But we should. Corn cutting is late this year, and the cool early September will make it still later. Mechan­ ical pickers have just about sup­ planted other corn harvesting methods. Though our engines o f destruc­ tion are capable o f wiping out large areas, populations includ­ ed, yet the Almighty still lias the mightest Hand. His powers in earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions continue to make us, whom He created a little lower than angels, quite feeble as destructions. Our younngsters keep on, and in the sharpest competition with other young fanner folk from fl­ yer Ohio bring home awards for superior exhibits. The state fair —Ohio’s clearing house for final degrees of supremacy in produc­ tion—gave many of our young folk the highest prizes. Nothing in the outlook on the future is as meaningful as this. A 50% NATION Figures—ghastly from a patri­ otic standpoint—show that at the last general election slightly more than 50% o f the elegible voting populace in the country took the trouble to go to the polls. That mere statement is in itself a re­ primand to all Americans. Now it is stated with authority that only about 35% o f the whole popula­ tion of the United States of Amer­ ica belongs to church, or even at­ tends church. Columns could be written on both these statements. Suppose you take over and write a column or so. * With a Buckeye In Congress CLARENCE J. BROWN W rite* The house held only two nomi­ nal sessions last week while the senate continued to clean up Its legislative calendar. I f the plans o f administration leaders work out the conference reports on the new tax biH and the so-called se­ curity bill, as well as other legis­ lative odds and ends, will be cleaned up by the erfd o f the week. "While House Speaker Ray­ burn would like to see a sine die adjournment, in all probability the congress will recess until after the election, subject to re­ call in case of emergency. The Korean and international situations have caused such grave concern in high official circles as to bring about a serious discussion of the advisability of forming a coalition cabinet to meet the crisis: It is rumored that Republicans may he named to succeed Defense Secretary Johnson and Secretary of State Acheson. It is argued such an arrangement would bring great­ er unity. Undoubtedly it wbuld also quiet the storm o f criticism which has been developing over, recent blundering and bungling in our diplomatic and defense efforts.

President Truman’s recent at­ tack on the marine corps has certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest.

As a result the cost of many commodities is expected to jump -in price soon—and the ‘ end is not in bight. 0 In a speech in the U. S. senate last week, Senator Schdeppel o f Kansas charged that when cec- retary of Interior Oscar Chap­ man and 'Comissioner of Recla­ mation Michael W. Straus were sworn into office the paragraph requiring them to certify and swear that “ I do not advocate nor am I a member of any politi­ cal party that advocates the over­ throw of the government, of the United States b y force or vio­ lence” had been stricken from the oaths they took. In replying to the charges Secretary Chap<- man insisted “ it is not custom­ ary” to require such information of employees in the department of the interior. However, is just happens the law does require each federal official to take such an oath as to liis connections and beliefs. Certainly no man who is- unwilling to take such an oath Is fit to be a member of the presi­ dent’s cabinet. Perhaps it is a- bout time we start checking up a bit closer at home. General Hershey of the Nation­ al selective service system has chance, and the President will get what he requests, but the threat today is the same threat that existed six months ago. I would vote more enthusiasti­ cally to double the dollars if we could also- double the intelli­ gence at the top. * * * * I N the matter of economic con­ trols we have the same conflict The Federal Reserve Board con­ siders' necessary al strict policy of limiting credit and: balancing the budget, I fully agree. - But the Treasury issues bands at such a low rate of interest as to force an inflationary increase of bank re­ serves. When, we were told that the Ko­ rean attack was a complete sur­ prise, the Central Intelligence Agency was subjected to criticism but its representatives, claim that it„made the proper report of facta in North Korea. Now it is said that there was no proper agency to evaluate 1 the intelligence collected. The entire Government seems to he like a man who can feel one thing with his right hand, another thing with his left, and can see other events before his eyes, but has no brain, in his head to put together his various sensations and develop a con­ sistent course ot action. PRESIDENT TRUMAN will be in control of foreign policy and to a large extent military policy during the next two years. It is all the more important :hat we have an independent Congress to insist on full information being supplied to Congress and to the people so that they may be able to judge the soundness of the policies proposed. It is necessary to have a Con­ gress independent enough to insist that the President state clearly what his foreign .policy is. It is im­ portant to have a Congress which will insist that vie be told exactly what kind o f a war we may have to fight against,i Russia, in order that w e can judfje the- necessity of the type of armed forces that may be requested. Itijis important that we have a Congress that will insist on policies to prevent rising prices, if possible without resort to an OPA detailed control of commerce a'hd-industry and agriculture. Under conditions as' they are today only a .Republican Con­ gress can be independent. Only, by the electiora o f a Republican Congress can (the people hope for some kindl/fol consistent ac­ tion from an Administration di­ vided within itself. H OW, MANY TIMES a day do you say "No” to your chil- jdren?/ Sally’* mother overheard ‘.her daughter saying to * play- !mate, “There** no sense asking :my mother. She always says ‘No.’ " Thu* prompted, the moth- ,er undefi dlipussion decided to count tht pumbe? of "No’*” she ' actually did deliver each day. AM though ?ht doesn’t divulge her 'exact, count, she lays It was as­ tonishingly high. [ She then began to weigh the decisions she had made and found that a good many of the : things that she had forbidden could have been permissible at least with modifications. Sai- | ly couldn’t play in the mnd with her good dress on, but she could have come inside first to change into overalls. Saying “No,” Sally’s mother real­ ized, had simply become a habit Whan we call a child fg lunch and ho asks, “ Can yra eat out under the tree?” we say quickly, “No, Dear. Hurry and sit down at the table.” We give no reason for the refusal, probably because we have scarce­ ly given the question a' thought But a child's requests are impor­ tant to him. And if he must be re­ fused he can at least be told-why. If it rained yesterday and the ground is too muddy for an. out- doot lunch, explain this. Tomor­ row, you may point out, will be a better day for a picnic. And if it .Is sunny tomorrow and the child still begs to eat his lunch outdoors, why not? Of course it may be a bit of extra trouble to load a tray and carry it outside, but a happy youngster loves to help. And often even a customarily disdained veg­ etable is eaten with relish as part of a festive picnic. •Sometimes we say “No” just because a child’s requests seem ridiculous. But children usually have a reason for do­ ing things or wanting to do them. One day Susan asked her mother if she could wear her cowboy boots to school. A rath- - re feminine little girl, fond of ruffled dresses, Susan had al­ ways loved wearing patent leather Mary Jane pumps to school. Her cowboy boots were for after-school play. This new request baffled her mother, until the child explained that the boy who occupied the seat behind her kicked her heels. Bather than tattle to the teach­ er or fight with the boy, Sue had come up with this re­ sourceful solution. D i s a p p r o v i n g too quickly often has a n o t h e r disadvan­ tage.* It Is likely to cut us off from a great deal of enjoyment Ot our children. The picnic, for ex­ ample, though first appearing troublesome, would probably have turned out to be fun. Assured of at least a listening and considerate audience, children will be more in­ clined to tell parents t h e i r thoughts. The world, seen through the eyes of the young, is a very different and magically enchanting place. The chance ,to see^it thus can be a mother’s reward “for try­ ing to understand her child’s re- ‘ quests. From the standpoint of discip­ line a No must be carefully con­ sidered so that parents can stick to it. For there are times when undesirable activities must he checked. These are dimes to he definite and firm. This is partic­ ularly important in the early years when a child is getting his first ideas of human relations. Then he needs to learn that parents can be depended on to mean what they say. It has been discovered in Wash­ ington that the deficit will i>e only about $3 billion this year. You’ve got to be rich, folks to have a deficit like that. The Aga Kahn, Rita Hay- j worth’s father-in-law, is coming; i to American fo r treatment fo r the l __ ! stomache.
