Just why anybody can be against Taft is hard to understand, if any effort has bee nmade to study the sit­ uation. Certainly we cannot go through the igomy of failure to elect Ta ft'w ith the oppostion to a glamorous figure. For him to him what it is. True, Taft is not try to be would be silly, and Bob Taft is as fa r from being silly as any person in the world. He is just himself—capable, wise ex­ perienced, outspoken, frank, with a capacity fo r service to h;s country and the world that no one person in America possesses. It is a. travesty on the intelli­ gence o f the electorate that there should be any fear at all that Taft’s re-election. He must be re-elected! REGISTRATION We Greene county folks turn­ ed out to register like we meant it. It was like that all over Ohio. Some folks think it is because cx the senatorial campaign. Some say that it means that folks registered to make sure they could vote fo r Taft. We hope so. It’3 going to take all o f us. There is a theory that the “ againers” always turn out to vote, and too seldom the “fo r ” folks dn’t make much effrt t get out to the polls. Carelessness on the part of the “fors” this fa ll will amount to but little less; than treason. There is more at stake than the elec­ tion of a man to the senate. It is an issue of what kind o f man and who elects him. RUNAWAYS Boys have run away from home always. Many more boys have wanted to run away, but didn’t. Many have started, but turned hack when it got dark! Two Xe­ nia hoys, only 13, ran away the other day. They got as far as neighboring Fayette county. They didn’t go back on their own power. The lure o f the a- 'way-from-home world, the urge to escape the confines o f home with its controls, plus the gyp­ sy horn in all of us, make boys run off. Many a life story starts “ he ran away, from home at the age of 14.” But it is not gener­ ally recommended as a good start in life, fo r there are more failures from such beginnings than successes. THE LOGAN ELM Ohio’s most famous tree—the Logan Elm—was the scene re­ cently o f the 38th annual cele­ bration o f Ohio History Day. Chief Logan, tradition has it, made one o f the most remark­ able speeches of all time under that tree. You’ve seen it, stand­ ing alone, majestically signifi­ cant o f sturdiness? Time-defiant i t has escaped the raves, so far, o f the elements and disease that have ended the lives of so many other trees in the centuries it has stood as a symbol o f solidar­ ity, Every child should see Lo­ gan Elm and lam its history. It makes him a better citizen. FATAL GLARE Dazzling headlights account fo r a great number o f highway fatalities every year. Injuries run into the thousands and financial losses into the millions fo fail- rare to dim headlights* It is not os}y costly but very discourteous to- refuse to dim lights when an­ other car is approaching. The at­ titude of some drivers seems to be that it doesn’t help to trip the button to lower the beams, but records show nothing is more harmful, except total reckless­ ness in speed and; courtesy. DISCOVERED! Down in iMami, where a bath­ ing suit no matter how trivial, covers a multitude of sins, if nothing else much, a flock of hello girls fliehed thousands o f dollars from the telephone com­ pany by sneaking out with coins in their (if you'll pardon the ex­ pression) bras. We saw a lady the other day who looked like she had the rest of the companies money in hers. IMPORTANT Whether Lausche votes for Taft is not so important as that you do- NEW HERO A t that, It’ll take a pretty rad­ ical figh t fan to anme his baby Ezzard. COMEBACKS Boxing rings are not the only arenas where it is diffcult to atage a cmebaek. Every place, from a furrow to a pulpit, it is always a challenge. SOUPED NO jj you’ d like to have a $16,000 “ souped up” to outrun any Personal Commitment to Christ Lesson f o r October Si Matthew 1(5: 24-25; Mark It 16-20; Philip- plans It 19-26 Memory Selectiont Pbilippians It 21 T HE FIRST PART of the lesson text shows that true life is found in giving oneself to Jesus. It declares a great paradox of human experience, that giving is life, with­ holding is death. “Whosoever would save his life shall lose it,” but who­ soever shall lose his life for Christ’s sake shall find it. This paradox is' illustrated in many a story of sac­ rificing for others. Walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus called Andrew and Peter, ana James and John, two pairs of brothers. He called them to be “ fishers of men.” The Master calls men in the midst of their daily labor, and he often puts them to work in his service right where they are. Some he calls to special service, but the most he calls to live for him where they are. In the last passage of the text, Paul writes of the joy he has in commiting himself wholly to the Lord’s service. “ For me to live," he declares, “ is Christ, and to die is gain.” He was , so thoroughly committed to Christ that he was assured that Christ dwelt in him. And even to die for Christ would be gain for him—the sooner he would be with his Lord. Let us come to the great decision to give all to Christ. It may be said that faith is acting as well as believing. It you believe in Jesus, you must, and will, live for Him. And he promises to keep you al­ ways by his wondrous grace. CLARENCE J .

The north Atlantic defense pact was ratified, and military aid to the Atlantic pact nations was granted in the amount of $5.8 billion.

Selective Service act was extended; a hill to d ra ft: doctors, dentists, and medical specialists was approved, and'* statutory limitation on size o f armed forces removed.

He found himself unable to make dean -cu t, definite decisions on even minor matters. He w ou ld have h is m ind almost made up on a certain point, then, presto! h e w ou ld begin to waver. This man is Stewart H. Jessee, Hugo, Okla­ homa. Well, *it’s not surprising to Hear that any man wavers today when confronted with a decision. W e have so much evidence presented on each side o f a question, and much o f it forced, untrue. But let’s g o on and see what happened in t h e case o f * Stewart Jessee when h e was promoted to a new jo b in his company; This jo b car­ ried quite a lo t o f responsibility. H e had to both plan and direct the w ork o f others. He was quite happy when he was told he was to get this promotion. It was something he had been w ork ing toward, longing for. A step up the ladder he had set himself ou t to climb. He continued to b e happy fo r a couple o f months, went to w ork each morning w ith enthusiasm. A s bigger problems presented themselves, as those w ork ­ ing under him did n o t always cooperate, fear seized him, he began to worry.. What i f he couldn’t handle this jo b to the satis­ faction o f his superiors after all? What i f he made some vital mistake, something wh ich wou ld mean a severe loss? A nd once he started worrying, h e found it the most natural thing in the world to continue. G f course, h e didn’t call it worry, o r fear, even though he stumbled over a decision .. B y and by , h e lost so much confidence in his own ab ility to think things through that be didn’t perform even the simplest o f job s welL Then the future seemed dark. i Then he read seme advice made popular b y the late Theodore Roosevelt. This advice ran : D o the thing you fear to do and fear w ill disappear. N ow he realized that he was afraid to make a decision, afraid he w ou ld be w ron g .. So h e made up his m ind that he wou ld do what seemed to h im to b e the right thing—-an d stand b y what­ ever consequence.. He w ou ld believe himself in the right and h e w ou ld w ork t o make that r igh t come right. W e ll, it was v e ry simple after that. The first time wasn’ t coo difficult, and each succeeding time became easier. A n d it was amazing h ow many times his decisions proved to b e right. N ow h e knows that there w as nothing the matter with, him except fea r and nervousness. Bu t h e might have lost a g o o d job had he n ot conquered himself. “ “ *■ — ------------- r a i n .

And have you ever traced the missing money to your child with the sickening' fear that you are raising a thief? Children’s stealing does present, at times, a problem of deep ser­ iousness. But the situation sketched above may be merely a reflection of your own thoughtlessness. First, carelessness in leaving money around and thereby giving your children the impression that you have a great deal of it. Second, neglecting to make it clear to your children how much of your income, over and above their own allow­ ances, is spent on them. An ex­ ample of this was given by a mother whose small son frequently took money from her purse for ice cream cones. When questioned he said that she herself often bought silly hats, so why couldn’t he buy ice cream when he wanted it? His own allowance of 25 cents a week seemed very small to him com­ pared to the price of a hat, so he proceeded to take yfhat he con­ sidered a further rightful share of the family income. His parents explained to the boy that mother’s hats, even If they looked silly to him, 1 came In the same category as j the load plaid shirts, the cow- f hoy outfit, the lumber jacket, v . boots, and other fancy articles " 4 . of clothing his parents bought ? I for him. Actually, the total of ‘ the son’s unnecessary, but treasured, popular wearing ap­ parel came to more than mother spent for extra hats. . Another answer to the problem was to increase the boy’ s allowance to cover a daily expenditure for Ice cream, for there was noth­ ing wrong about his liking for this nourishing dessert. But to keep the matter on a “ business" basis 11 was agreed that he would no longer bother the cook (his mother had • job and was not there when he came home from school) for after­ school snacks. Also, he was to di a few extra jobs at home to ean the additional money. This story Illustrates <m* fundamental in teaching chil­ dren respect for money, that . is, to give them as clear a jia- * tore as possible of how tha • family income is spent. It isn’t, of course, right to bur­ den children with worry over < paying off a mortgage or a - debt incurred for unexpected sickness bills. But If given * general idea of the demands on your purse for rent, food, help, etc., the child will usually ac­ cept bis status as a member of a family which can afford only small amounts a week for spending money. Bui what about the child who knows how much his parents can afford to give him but who still uses devious ways of trying to keep up with the playmates whose week­ ly allowance may be larger? Ac­ tually, what an envious child usu­ ally needs Is not more money, bui a stronger sense of prideful ties with his own family.

Do you: suppose that any­ body in Russia itself will ever . hear of the Four Freedoms after the war? . .L In the name of democracy we are to make a Communist alliance with the' most ruthless dictator in the world.” £ The Administration was so anx­ ious to please; that it agree'd to anything Stalin requested. The boundary of tha Russian zone is so drawn as to a leave in Russian hands the most strategic military positions in Germany. We did not even reserve the right of access to our zone in Berlin. * j ♦ * rT'HE Administration policy in ' Europe was finally changed by the forceful influence of Senator Vandenberg, until we finally said in Europe, “This far and no fur­ ther without war.” But at Yalta we also set Russia up in a power­ fu l p o s i t i o n 4n the Fa r East through the control of Manchuria. The Russians were abk to assist the Chinese Communi s t s , but these Communists were even more assisted by the friendly coopera­ tion of the Far Eastern Division of our State Department. The Administration failed to keep its,.promises pf aid to the Na­ tionalist Government at crucial- times. It sent Marshall to' China to make Chiang take Communists into his cabinet with the obvious danger of their taking over the Government, as they did in Czech­ oslovakia. In January, 1950, Sec­ retary Achesor. was contemplat­ ing the surrender of Formosa, the recognition of the Chinese" Com­ munists and the.ir admission to the Security Council. His policy was only reversed when the Kofean War occurred. / , Now, however, President Tru­ man’s rebuke ;of General Mac­ Arthur makes it uncertain what our poliey. is regarding the fur- ' ther spread, of Communism in Formosa and elsewhere in the Far East. The appointment of General Marshall, who tried to carry out the State Depart- * ment’s policy in China for seven months in 194";, raises still more' doubts. /7 - ■ What, is our ipolicy in the Far East? .A re'w e still appeasing the Communists?
