It fa Cherry Blossom time in Wash­ington again—o r -will be by the time this column appears in print. Already the budding Japanese, cherry trees around the Tidal Basin are beginning to show a bloom here, and there, and the capital city is preparing to greet and care for the hundreds o f thou­sands o f visitors who make the an­nual pilgrimage to view o n e 'd f na­ture’s most beautiful sights. The warm weather o f the last two weeks has al­ready brought many tourists to the Capital, and during Easter vacation week thousands o f children visited the historic ahd inspiring structures that make Washington the most beautiful city in America.

East week the Senate devoted its full time to debating the bill extend­ing, for three years the power o f the Secretary o f 'State to enter into re­ciprocal trade treaties with foreign nations. Amendments attempting to restrict: the authority o f the Secretary o f State so as to require that trade pacts he approved by Congress,-or by the Seriate, were fought off by the Administration forces. The Pittman amendment, requiring Senate con­firmation, lost by the narrow margin o f three votes, As this is written the Senate is preparing to vote on the final passage o f £he bill and it is pre­dicted the measure will be approved by , a small margin in the upper body o f Congress.

In the House several days wore given last week to debating the War Department Appropriation Bill. More than sixty million dollars was strick­en from the • bill as a result o f the House returning to its orginal econ­om y program following its speeding spree o f the week before. The ■ cuts.

' in" the appropriation were made as a result o f the recent policy announced b y the Administration in connection: ■with the sale o f the' latest war planes to England and France, under the coil-

_ tention that the. development o f the American aviation' industry# as a re­sult o f foreign sales o f planes now ‘makes possible the rapid production o f planes for the 'Ajmerican armed -forces in case o f need. •

New Road Marking Program Is Adopted

On April Gth, 1917, United States entered the World War. In recent years the Anniversary has been set aside as. Army Day. The celebration in Washington this years was espe­cially’' impressive. Great bombing planes and fast pursuit ships, roared

. overhead while rumbling tanks and artillery and marching men, swung by tho thousands who lined the streets o f the Capitol City to watch the demonstration. Temporary s t a n d s were erected along Constitution Ave­nue for the, trie o f officialdom in view­ing the display o f America’s military might.

VALUE ESTATES Four estates have been appraised

under probate court direction as fol­lows:

Estate of.Clark N, Piper, gross val­ue, $1499.19: obligations, $190; net value $1309.19.

Estate of Clark N* Piper: gross Val­ue, $30,359.64; debts, $4,187.86; ad­ministrative cost, $977,19; net value, $25,194.59.

Estate o f Della M., Berry: gross Value, $2361.86; obligations, not listed.

Estate o f Rosa A. Spahr: gross val­ue, $2529.05; obligations, $575; net value, $1954.05,

Between April-15 and May, 1 high­way department’s road marking crews will spread out over the 18,000,. miles o f the state road system, putting down the continuous white or black lines, and the yellow stripes at the non-pass­ing zones. Those zones are being es­tablished now by district traffic en­gineers.

“ Hereafter whenever the driver o f ah automobile finds himself in an area with n yellow stripe paralleling the white„or black stripe, and On the driv­er’s side o f the roadway^ that driver should make no attempt to swing out o f the lane o f traffic and go around other cars,” Mr. Neal pointed out.

The surveys which the bureau o f traffic and safety conducted showed that drivers generally slowed- down automatically whenever they came up­on the yellow; stripe.

The white or black stripe will be four inches in width, and the yellow stripes at all no-pasSing zones will be three inches in width, There will be a three-inch,space between the white or black and yellow stripes.

The department will erect informa­tion signs along the roadways o f the state, pointing out the meaning o f the road marking so drivers will not cross the yellow stripes when they arc On the motorist’s'side o f the highway.*

twenty-two miles roads, this being approximately fiOtper cent o f all the highways, roads, latrects and alleys they have built oryeconstructed in the four and one-half years since the fed­eral agency was!launched in July, 1935. I

The total for all such work rose to 37.37 miles, o f whfch 30.29 miles is in rural roads, mostly o f the farm,-to- market type facilitating movement of school busses and fnnil carriers it was stated Monday by&L L. Kelly, o f Co­lumbus, manager Qf the Central Ohio district of.W P A ip Ohio, in the first o f a series o f reports to the public. The rest o f the wo^k consisted of-5.56‘ miles o f urban streets and alleys.

Mr. Kelly said ithe surge o f con­struction is explained by the county’s sponsorship o f a iriore comprehensive WPA program and w ider use o f coun­ty road equipment, complementing hand labor, under present regulations requiring that the sponsor pledge one- fourth o f the cost in terms o f en­gineering services materials, equip­ment cash, etc. ,

The longest improvements last year .were the Ankeney Mill Rd., in Beaver­creek Twp., northwest o f Xenia, and tho Indian Riffle Rd., seven miles west o f Xenia, both six miles long. The lat­ter required almost complete recon­struction, including construction or widening o f one bridge and three con­crete culverts, widening o f forty-seven metal culverts, a,nd installation Jbf eight metal culverts.

The four and one-half year record also shows 1.52 miles o f roads built in parks, school or institution grounds, seventeen bridges built or improved; eighiy-fivc culverts built or improved; almost twenty-one miles o f roadside drainage work; 1.23 miles of side­walks built or improved; 4.G8 miles of curbs built or rebuilt, and 3.62 miles o f old railroad track removed.

Accident Victim Dies In Springfield Hospital

Mrs; Marjan Grace T$inzo, 20, o f Cleveland Heights, O., who was wid­owed the’ same day she became a bride, died in Springfield City Hospital o f injuries suffered in an auto-train collision which claimed her husband’s life last March 12 at a railroad cross­ing on Route 42, east o f Ccdnrvillc.

The husband was killed instantly, Mrs. Trunzo suffered a skull fracture. The couple, married earlier in the day at Covington, Ky., was enroutc to Cleveland when the auto in which they were riding was struck by a pas­senger train.

ENUMERATORS STARTED WORK

HERE TOESDAYThe township and corporation enu

mcrators J. Lloyd .Confarr and Mar- cellus Townsley started the work of asking questions in the big quiz Tues­day morning.

Carrying large portfolios o f census sheets enumerators ask thirty-two questions at each household for the population schedule, thirty-one for the occupied dwelling schedule, and 232 more at all farm homes. As usual, the answers will be confidential.

Enumerators are paid at the rate o f four cents a person, including two cents for each infant ^under four months o f age. For each vacant dwell­ing counted they receive five cents, and for each occupiecLdwelHng eight cents. Those covering farms earn twenty- five cents a person inside municipal limits and thirty cents outside corpora­tion lines.

You may have wondered who takes the personal census o f the census-tak­ers. Well, the enumerators^ themselves will be questioned in their own homes by others assigned to the particular districts where they reside.

Enumerators are required to report daily to the district office the total number of names listed during the day. Nose-counters are also expected to make numerous night calls to con­tact persons not at home when day­time visits are made.

Although the first federal census in 1790 was. a simple task, made to de­termine congressional representation, the 1940 version will be the biggest research project ever undertaken.

The first half o f the census, cover­ing information on tho nation’s busi­ness, manufacturing concerns^ mines and quarries, was started Jan. 2—in Greene County .by two enumerators— and now. is well advanced.

The second half o f the census ob­tains detailed information, some of which has never before been sought, on people dwelling units and farms.

Data to be tabulated include not only age, sex and locations o f every person but such other items as in­dividual income from wages up to $5000, location five years ago, educa­tion, 'citizenship, employment status, marital status and occupation.

Persons opposed to giving census- takers the amount o f their 1939 in­come in answer to question thirty-two o f the population schedule are per­mitted, under a new riding to write the information on a special form for direct mailing to the "census bureau in Washington, D. C., with postage paid. It is the only one o f all the questions which may legally be answered-in this way. Refusal to answer a census ques­tion will be at the risk o f a fine and jail sentence, hut census-takers report here courteous receptions and coopera­tion. '

BUSINESS MEN ARE WARNED flF

TAX M N fflftPay -as -you - go— that rock-hound'

counsel o f prudence and horse-semw^—> has been neglected so consistently dua- ing the last decade that the taxpayer must awaken to the danger, or all his earnings will go to the government,. George J, O’Brien pf the Ohio Cham­ber o f Commerce, told the Greens; County District Council a t a ; dinner- meeting Thursday night, April 4 , .in-. Xenia.

Mr, O’Brien who is director, o f dis- , trict councils o f the Ohio Chamber,, and Dr, Arch Q. Schultz, director o f the state organization’s research da-', partment, addressed the group, in Aha interests o f the Ohio Chamber, which is attempting to arouse Ohio citizen* to the necessity o f lowering taxes .and reducing public expenditures that are- consistent with economic and1 efficient government.

The district councils represent sev­eral thousand outstanding citizens in Ohio who form a ’ ‘ back home’ ’ move­ment to. assist the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce in moulding public opinion and carrying out sound programs of- public policy:

Their immediate job is the setting up o f county committees on taxation ’ and public expenditures in a militant ■, demand for economy in the manage- ' ment o f their own local government..

Attorney C. L. Darlington, Xenia, , president o f the Hooven-and Allison' Co., and district councilman# presided' at the meeting, attended by more than forty business and professional mep and manufacturers from Xenia and other sections o f the county. •

Dr. Shultz, who presented data on the relative costs o f Xenia and.Greene County government, described local government costs as about “normal” in the state. He mentioned also that relief costs in Ohio had mounted from $3,000,000 in 1929 to $230,000,009 in . 1938. - ' / , ^

Taxes are necessary, Mr. O’Brien pointed o.ut, .because of-the-multitude, o f functions that government must perform. But, when government, be it federal, state or local, is run along wast'efulrinefficient lines,-with a defi­cit at the end o f each- year, notwith- ‘ standing mounting taxes,,then it ,is * time the taxpayers tpok the situation in hand, he said .. ,

“ Taxes are higher than they ever . have been before,” Mr. O’Brien said. “ In*1938 federal, state and local taxes were almost double those o f 1923, having increased in fifteen years, from approximately $7,200,000#000 to mere than $14,000,000,000. Taxes per 'person in 1923. averaged about $65 and in 1938 about $103. I f there are five peo­

ple in your family (and yourself in an average American family) you paid* more than $500. in taxes in 1988— . most o f it perhaps indirect or hidden, hut real taxes nevertheless. Last year put o f every $100 o f income in the . United Slates—yours and everybody elSes—$20 was paid out in taxes; ,

“ These higher taxes mean less money remaining for each person! to use ih mying food, clothing, shelter and oth­er comforts. They are a brake on re­covery; they dry up capital expendi­tures and discourage ventures into' new fields o f business that, would pro­vide more jobs.” - . : ' -

This increasingly heavy tax burden, said the speaker, hits every person in 3 the country whether, he be a wage earner, a salaried worker, a profes­sional man or woman or a housewife, in three ways: (1) taxes increase yoUr cost o f living, (2) they act as a bar­rier to savings and dividend increases and (3) they make less secure the economic system under which you live.

Mr. O’Brien gave simple, concrete examples,’; illustrative o f the marmot in which mounting taxes affect the ' Individual’s standard o f living. --

The answer to the problem, accord­ing to the speaker is in reduction e f government costs. -

“ There hds to be a stopping place somewhere,” he concluded, “ We be-, lieve that place is here n6w,” i

A group o f business, professional and agricultural leaders from nine counties in the Miami Valley will meet in Dayton# April 17# in the Van Cleve hotel to further, the organization o f district council No. 8 o f the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce. .

WHEN NEGROS GET SOME RECOGNITIONEvery ten years all the negros in every state get the same

recognition from the.ir government and that is when the census is taken, This is about the oyily time the southern negro gets into a government picture.

W e hear much these days about social justice for all but the south has yet to he forced even by the federal government to give the colored folks south of the Mason and Dixon line the same advantages and protection given in the north.

The southern negro has no chance of having a voice in any land of government. The Democrats never expect him to have it and the present administration, Democratic or New Deal, makes no effort to see that these people can have a voice in government. Just now every negro in the south is being hunt­ed down with a fine tooth comb to be counted under the census so that the south can have additional congressmen or hold what they have under the proportional representation law.

Not once has a northern Democratic congressman lifted his voice in behalf of this section of people that still are dis­franchised. We realize it would be dangerous politically with southern Democrats in control of the present administration.

Every effort is being made to legislate against lynching* but congressmen and senators from the south have the bill tied

up and will not permit a vote on it. Once more northern Demo­cratic congressmen join with' their southern brethren to keep

■ the negro from under the protection of the law that mob rule can prevail. At present several negro youths who have had three trials and found guilty in each case have been granted freedom of guilt in murder hearings by a Supreme Court deci­sion. According to latest reports they fire still being confined yet the highest court decided in their favor.

The argument that in many southern counties the negro outnumbers the white three and four to one is no answer to disfranchisement when the constitution makes them free and equal in the eyes of the law. The New Deal has had seven

■ years to right this wrong in the south but dares for political reasons to demand social justice we hear so much about for all the people. The northern negro, if his blood runs- true to his race, is the only hope of the full rights of citizenship being given to his southern brother yet in the chains of slavery so far as citizenship is concerned. The New Deal thus far refuses to even legislate against mob rule.

WORD “THRIFT” LEFT OUT OF NEW DEAL’ James W. Wadsworth, New York Republican, brings to

light a peculiar situation that surrounds the New Deal. Never once has FDR during his seven years in the White House used the word “ thrift” in any of his speeches and never have any of his principal lieutenants been permitted to use' it..

Mr. Wadsworth coming from New York and being familiar with'the Roosevelt family history both that,of father and son, he as well as others should not be concerned about the drop­ping of such a word. Mr. Wadsworth should know that Frank­lin D. has been raised and lived a “ planned life.” His father died when he was about nineteen years of age leaving a for­tune of a few millions that look small in the light of some family fortunes of today. If there is any person who should know his sortj; his strong points and also weak spots, would be the father. Men of the Roosevelt type in those days who could make a fortune by being thrifty, savings gathered here, and there for investments, certainly could see into the future far enough to throw a safeguard around the family fortune by

r creating a trust whereby only the interest could be,subject to• wild spending or squandering as the case might be. This trust

would also be a protection to the original investment from blue- sky attacks. The elder Roosevelt knew “ thrift” and then paved

Mhe way for more thrift by having the family fortune in safe hands of trust management. ,

K effort is to be made to lead the American people under planned economy to shoulder a mountain of debt as a substi tute for thrift, Mr. Wadsworth, should not be surprised. If the people enlightened as we tjaink they are do not know the dif­ference between the two terms or the difference in the direction each point, then there is nothing to do but get ready at some future day to pay the debt or repudiate it which then would be placing us just where Germany found herself following the World War.

STARLINGS HERE AND STARLINGS THEREWhile Ohio cities have been perplexed as to how to solve

the problem of ridding their communities from the starlings we find the south is just as much disturbed, for the migration of the little black birds with the long beak and wide spread toes, spade-like tail have found a winter haven down south.

The starling In the north is no more of a nuisance than in the south. It is just as noisy in the early evening, cluttering during-the night and on the war path at day break, making sleep to those in the vicinity almost an impossibility.

Nashville, Tenn., has had its first real experience with the once famous English bird. The Banner in response to a Call from residents, asked Dr. G. M. Mayfield, of Vanderbilt Uni­versity faculty, to make a survey and he reported as many as 100,000 starlings on three streets in "a residential neighbor­hood. What worries thd citizens of the south 'is that the star­lingbeing English, and war like, is driving out most of the song birds. The bluebirds, chickadees, cardinals, flickers, titmice and even the woodpecker, has had to find a new abode to live in peace.

The starling is a pest in many ways for it leaves its mark on the sides of buildings, creates a foul condition on the limbs of trees for other pests to follow besides the unusual noise that is so much of a nuisance to those in slumber land. No where in the country is the starling protected by game' laws, Shoot­ing them or shooting ,at them has.failed to bring results and unusual noises do not arouse much of a scare in them. Or­nithologists urge warfare on them not for extinction but to hold them back as they are much more productive than evert the sparrows, who do not mix well with their English cousins.

• We read the starling was first introduced into the country by a wealthy New York merchant, Eugene Schiffin, on the theory they Would protect shrubbery and gardens which at the time were being ravaged by insects of different kinds. It is said the shrubbery was saved in the city but it was not long until Central Park had more starlings than shrubbery. From, there the birds migrated to all parts of the country, parti-

. cularly the central and southern states. In the north the birds feed mostly out in the country and return to town or city at night. In the south they remain day and night in the towns and cities.

Those who have followed the habits of the starling find they do have B o rn e merits, regardless of the nuisance, to man­kind. They, love grubs, worms end larvae of all kinds, and at­tack few growing Crops or fruits. They seldom attack a hill of com, feed only on crop seeds when other food is scarce, hut they are active for grubs and worms in the central states following com planting.

Whether the good they do overcomes the damage created by them is the unsolved problem. As to being a-nuisance to mankind there is no question, at least has patience is given a good test. ■

Maybe FDR wants the extra locks for the Panama canal to keep somebody from running off with the works.

Tt used to be sung that "we should keep the home fires burning” but now it is a worry as to keeping the auto rolling.

Mankind is beset with problems from the cradle to the gy£ve but some are better dodgers than others.

While northern farmer* are inostl interested in the price o f Hog*, the southern farmer keeps his eye on the price o f tobacco. A t present there la little sale o f this crop and too bright prospects for the future. At. present prices even with the crop adjustment payments, tobacco growers say their income will be below what the ten year depression ayerage has been; What makes the situation complex is England’s refusal to permit the importation o f any American tobac­co as long as her treaty with Turkey is in force,*The New Deal has not sold the. southern tobacco grower the idea that the Roosevelt-Hull free trade treaties have benefited this country. No treaty has been made with any country to even take ten pounds of American tobacco. The southern to­bacco grower is on par with the north, ern grain, beef and pork producer. The market pages give you the proof o f the situation regardless o f what Mr. Wallace has to say about free trade benefiting the farmer. March dressed pork prices dropped 20 per cent. There is little or no sale for lard in the wholesale market. The New Deal permits imports of oils and vegetable fats for butter substitutes, all o f which is in competition with What the farmer must produce and he Cannot expect .much better prices as long as agriculture faces a world free trade market.

cothm plan wifi be opened hr Memphis, Tenn,, where all families on relief will be able to bay green ololorod stamps and receive brown stomps o f equal value free, which may be exchanged for cotton materials. There are 15,- 000 estimated families on direct relief in Memphis territory says the Secre­tory. The stamps will be .delivered at three-month periods. The merchants accept the stamps and cash them at hanks and the banks collect from Uncle Sam, all o f which is adding toi the mountain o f national debt. Every * state in the union has a larger relief roll in April o f this year than any time since the New Deal took charge. W e believe it is termed “'planned economy” .

In glancing over a report of the -Department o f Labor we find that the average city woman spends more for silk stockings than any other item in her clothes budget. Next comes silk and rayon dresses with shoes third. There are more stockings made than any cither individual item women wear, even though it is fashionable to use what nature gave them; Men on the average buy a new overcoat once in five years at an average price of ?21 A new wool suit once in two years at an average price o f $24.

“ Gone With the Wind" and “ Grapes of Wrath” have left a trail that is not proving. satisfactory with south­ern people, like' Californians, who pro­tested filming the latter, which show ed a class. o f people that did not re­flect well on the state. “ Gone With the Wind” has revived the old KKK move­ment in the south and it is . not going to be checked over night, because it is a political issue as well as having a religious tinge. Georgia has been the nation’s capital for the KKK for years. The Atlanta Journal is fight­ing the Klan movement but floggings go on. The Roosevelt statement re­flecting on James Farley as a Catho­lic and not a suitable candidate for president has left a deep scar. One report is in circulation in the south that the New York, Chicago and other Democratic leaders who have a large following o f Catholics are much con­cerned over the outcome o f the next election. Even i f Roosevelt is nominat­ed it is believed a large part o f the Catholic vote would be against him.

I f you want to get a sharp answer just make some crack down in these southern states intimating they are New Dealers, Nothing will ruffle the fur quicker. They do not like a lot o f things Roosevelt does and what he stands for, but he was elected' they say as a Democrat. They look upon Wallace, Ickea, Harriman, as down- and-out Republicans picked up by Roosevelt and that it is this type that makes up the New Dealers, The apple o f the southern Democrat’s eye is Secretary .Hull. As for Morgenthau and Farley they have little to say.

Sub**ib» to "THE HERALD”

Every southern newspaper is urg­ing co-operation with enumerators in taking the census. The Bouth feels H has a chance to make a big showing since hundreds o f northern industries have left the north within the last ten-year canvass. This would give southern states more congressmen, There is some discontent over some of the questions asked hut anything good for the south soon sweetens fhe soUr. All public,* officials, Democratic or­ganization workers and committeemen are backing the new census in the hope the south can gain more con-, gressmen.

The south' has some fear as to the part this nation is to have in the Eu­ropean war after the Democratic con­vention or at least after the Novem­ber election. The exposure o f letters found in Poland by Germany has made many people skeptical. Statements at­tributed to both Kennedy and Bullitt indicate early charges that Roosevelt had. made pledges to give immediate aid to England and France, The Crom­well speech in Canada speaks for it­self. This week following the exposure Bullitt, on orders from Washington, hastily departs by plane for France to escape interviews by newspaper­men. There are many Democrats that believe Roosevelt will not wait a sec­ond after the November election to plunge the country into the European mess to make good his promise wheth­er congress or the people approve or not. It promises to be a major issue in the coming campaign. .

Having toured through a number of southern states the first one to have the sales tax was North Carolina, Most o f the state revenue collected in the south is from gasoline, Few of the states have any limit on the rate of taxation either on real estate or personal property, In one place in Georgia an election is to be held this month asking the voters to approve an eight per cent tax for 'school pur­poses, In Ohio even eight mills would frighten a property holder. The valua­tion on property in this district is very low and the lumber companies that own timberland us well as the rail­roads pay most o f the tax. This parti­cular district has a new '$125,000 San­ta Claus school building for 135 pu­pils and this year' had to drop all grades above the eighth. Nearby stands the old frame building used now for colored pupils and 96 are herded in that antique structure o f one room.

Gov. John W. Brickcr is to be com­mended fo r his appointment o f George M. Neffner, statistician-in the secre­tary odf state’s office for ten years, to succeed the late Earl Griffith, Under the Ohio law there is no chance o f the Neffner name being placed] on the primary ballot at this time. Of course Mr. Griffith’s name will be there as. he had filed for the nomination on the Republican ticket. The voter will be forced to write the Neffner name on the ballot and place the X before it. Edward J. Hummel Cincinnati, who has been a candidate for this office many times, also has filed but in the past he never had anything like full support from Hamilton county. His name on the ticket has a better chance this time than any previous primary.

Mr, Neffner is known to thousands o f former election officials in Ohio ov­er a period o f years, lie has had vir­tual control o f the election machinery, under the Secretary o f State. He is regarded an authority on election laws and rulings and should be the proper person to head the office o f Secretary o f State, experience if for nothing else. Mr. Neffner was first named to his position by Clarence J. Brown, then secretary o f state, He has served under two Democratic administrations and is as well and favorably known in that party as a worthy public official, as he is in the Republican party. It will be a campaign o f education to get^the primary voters to write in the name o f George M. Neffner.

Cedarvillians will be interested in the news story that Wallace Reid, Jr., has had a place o f prominence in Cecil B, DcMUle’s “ Northwest Mount­ed Police.” Wallace Jr. is a son of Wallace or “ Wally” , deceased, the lat­ter being a son o f Hal Reid, noted actor, writer and producer o f the early nineties. Bertha Belle Westbrook, “ Wally’s’ ’ mother, died last summer, Hal Reid was a native o f Cedarville. His biggest money maker was “ The Night Before Christmas” , based on events in bis boyhood days among local characters. *The play was pre­sented here by Hal and his wife while it was in great demand all over the country. They had but one son, “ Wal­ly” , who had a short screen career be­fore his death.

Ohio is not the only state in the union that has six candidates for governor in a Democratic -primary, -Down in Florida there are eight run­ning . for the nomination which is equal to an election fo r the’ success­ful one. Each is making all kinds of promises and the fight between two or three candidates especially is hot and personal. In Georgia there are not so many candidates but the five are making ‘ things bum. Almost - every known device for attracting public attention has been put to use in each state. North Carolina has two holding most o f the attention with a third trailing. .

The observance o f a date for Thanks­giving bobs up,again and as was to be expected the state of Massachusetts ' will observe the traditional custom of the last Thursday in November, which was first observed in that state in 1621. "Under the New Deal Thanks­giving is now a roving event to be pushed up or down the calendar as one wishes, It qian be Roosevelt’s birthday or that o f some Communistic leader, This year Roosevelt will move it up two weeks earlier, according to reports in Washington. The New Deni holds the event as a holiday, not sig­nificant o f anything much worthy of note at present or in the past, Tho atheist never did have any place in his makeup for observance o f such a date.

a telephone more than justifies its cost

4 The cost of telephone service is small indeed when yoii weigh it against the nui­sance of being without the service* It "runs the errands," eliminating tiresome trips for every member of the family* It orders sup­plies, conveys all sorts of messages, makes and postpones appointments and brings pleasant talks with friends and relatives.

This every-day usefulness is well worth the small cost of the service, and in addition you have the satisfaction of knowing that it's always near a t hand, ready for any emergency, day or night. Why be without the convenience and protection o f tele­phone service when it costs so little?

d r ift one * » % emm. b ta tfererera* rates to ll start »n* north. That i* joto mUO hamm*A when the ftufeury w**ntaeiky in Miami, Jtekaonvilte and ■ tm ether Florida spots last week.

The first j» » p w from Miami to Dayton* and from there to Savannah, where th * historic eity was viewed fo r tha t in t time by the ’writer, It i* a quaint old southern city certainly laid out fo r the “ horse and buggy” node o f transportation, Streets are narrow add the unusual feature is that you couldn't.always tell a street from an alley, Another striking point is tha fa ct that one ordinary building in tha business section may be sur­rounded by two different streets and two .alleys, the latter nearly twice as •wide as .the streets.

When. it comes to parks with monu- raents or recreation playgrounds you cannot go any distance until you are forced to circle around them. Savan­nah is the typical seaport city. There is evidence of. a good business, but not much progress or change in the type o f buildings in the business sec-

. tion from fifty years ago. It has^ne o f the largest kraf t paper mills in the country.

Being on the water, the city Is near­ly surrounded; b y swamp land for msay miles. There is little space for agriculture, but someone, has. provid­ed excellent roads' and" bridges for pleasant and interesting touring.

Over much the seme-kind o f terri­tory, onward north* we reach ope of the most historicrSpots. on,, the Atlan­tic coast, .Charleston,.'Si-C. I f you have, not seen ohe o f 1 the truly old cities, don't miss this c ity o f narrow- crooked streets.' We have seen the Latin quarter’ in New Orleans with its tinge o f . old world habitants, but Charleston gives the visitor something- different. It is a one street town with business houses jammed side by side. More than one place .we observed that the .staifWay to the second floor was hinged and pulled up by rope and pulley after the last , member of the family was in for the night. Charles­ton'has a war historical record froih the, colonial days down to the Civil W ar times. One wonders how business ■can .prosper* with the handicap-trucks and autos have in that-'city, Sherman was credited’ once with a statement that' sort o f described war. Well, that phrase just about covers Charleston and fits perfectly m Atlanta, Ga. Ev­ery tourist should make at least one visit^to Charleston.

.As you leave the city north, you must cross Cooper river and at the edge o f the city you are faced with a river that looks like it had no bank o n ’ the opposite side. You also face

’ a bridge that looks like it would be impossible to negotiate. The bridge proper is ’two1 miles long. The highest point over the river is 270.2 feist over

* low tide. The first 1,000 feet you climb 150 feet in height which means o f cOUrse' that you must, have motor power and good brakes, if ever need­ed. Most of- the sea level traffic, to New York and the East is over this bridge which cost six million, dollars and is being, paid by toll. Leaving this

_ city we travel on to Georgetown and New Brunswick, both noted paper mill towns where the odor o f sulphuric acid cari be detected five miles away and

~ where, the swim from the washwater is in evidence ten miles from either city on streams wider than the big Miami when it is at flood stage from

-bank to bank. While these mills em­ploy several thousand men, they could not pperate under Ohio laws. Both having water freight • rates With lo­cation that is not troubled by stream pollution, is mainly the -reason why certain Dayton financial interests lo­cated in. the couth,

In no time you have crossed one of the Carolinas and you are in the next, North Carolina, the center o f the greatest tobacco growing section in the world. W e traveled for miles-and miles in the Kinston section where is grown* that famous product o f which a certain radio auctioneer chants his auction song weekly. Much, o f the ground in this section is now ready fo r planting but the cold weather .has held back the growth o f plants. Bain is needed in much off the section.

After visiting in Wilmington, N. C„ a* thriving manufacturing city o f 35,-

” 000 the journey is continued to Rich­mond Va. No state in the south has finer roads than Virginia. Ohce in Richmond you are surrounded by more history than cOuld be reviewed in these columns. It differs from other southern Cities in that m ost o f its streets are broad. Its business' section has scores o f toWering buildihgs and the activity

' about the stores office buildings, shops and’ banks, backs up all claims as to business at present, yet it is freely stated that something ails retail bus­iness there as in other towns. By this time the soft gentle southern breezes had been turned into the kind we had left in Ohio and once more overcoats were in order.

Theta Wiis a time every school boy and girl had to know something about the famtkts Civil W ar Libby prison, several Greene countians being Held prisoners there during part o f the war.

The kite o f the prison at the corner off Twentieth and Cary Streets is marked with a bronze tablet. The budding was torn down and removed he Chicago to be used in an exhibit a t the wotid'a Fair Of After the

HOSEA TELLS OP GOD'S FORGIVING LOVE

LESSON TEXT—Hoses 6:1-7; 1«:4».GOLDEN TEXT—It we1 confess our stns, tie is faithful and just to forgive us .our-

sins, and to cleanse ps from all unrighteous­ness.—I John 1:9,

' God loves sinners! This is the’ message o f the Bible. God hates sin, but He loves sinners and is eager that1 they should repent and receive His forgiveness. God even lover the backslider; the one who has been, in fellowship with Him, tasted the joys o f the'eternal prom­ised land and than turned- back to thaifleshpots of the world. This Is the. special m essage-of the book o f H osea ,forh e deals-with a backslid-

. ing and rebellious” Israel, so deter- 'mined to turn against God’s love that they are described in 11:7 (R. V.) as being “ bent on backsliding.’ ’

Israel failed to heed God’s warn­ing, did not respond to His loving call, and went on to judgment. May none o f us b e so foolish and -stubborn. God is now calling sin­ners in love and compassion, doing everything in His power to lead them to repentance and spiritual healing. “ Today, i f ye will hear his voice,, harden not your hearts’ ’ (Ps. 95 :7 ,8 ).

I. God CaiUng Sinners.(6:1, 2).’ • The great loving heart of God longs after wayward men. Though they have-wn deliberate unbelief

, turned from Him, yet He sends His messenger to bring them His gra­cious invitation^- No more beautiful word can be spoken than "Com e.” It speaks o f an open door, o f a for­giving spirit,, o f a desire for renewed fellowship.

Come, O sinner, and meet the Saviour. He it is who by both life and death has revealed the fullness o f God’s love to you. In Him you , will find entrance into eternal life : apd jo y . He says, “ I am the door, by m e if any man pnter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9).

Observe also .the word “ return.” The invitation from God is not only to those who have never known Him, but also to the backslider. How many miserably unhappy backslid­den Christians there are in the .wprld! Friend, if you are one of them,- this invitation is especially for

■.you! / - 1

II. God’s Dealings With Sinners (6:3-7).

Our Lord is both compassionate . and faithful in His dealings with sinners. He will win them with love and tenderness 'if' they permit Him to do so, but if necessary He can also use the rod o f punishment or the storm o f unpleasant circum ­stances to drive them to Him. Re­member that both the tenderness and the severity o f God are expres­sions o f His love.. With Israel God wanted to com e as' the gentle, reviving rain from heaven (v . 3 ), but because o f their unrepentant attitude (v , 4) He had to com e forth as One who hews down and destroys (v . 5). Even in thus breaking down and destroying He is only preparing to rebuild. As the surgeon must first hurt in order to leal* God must sometimes cut deep­ly in order to rem ove the blight of sin.

These lines will.probably be read by many who have wondered at the dealings of God with them. Perhaps they have been inclined to condemn Him as being unkind or severe. Let them be assured that God is love and that back of all b! His dealings with men there is His tender pur­pose to bring them unto Himself fo r salvation or for blessing.

l i t God Healing Sinners (14:4-9).When sinners com e to Him with

word* bf repentance (14:1) God is ready to meet them and to heal all of their sins and backsliding*, Ob­serve that not only will He heal their 'past sins* but will cause their pres­ent position to. be such that He may “ love them freely” (v . 4), and then their future will be one o f great glory, God la infinitely gracious and pour* out His love without measure upon the sinner who re­turns to Him.

Verses 5 to 8 give a beautiful pic­ture o f God’s blessings on the life o f the regenerated mad. The lily .(v . 5) speaks bf Stately roya l. beauty, Lebanon (v, 6) is strength and sta­bility, even as the great cedars of Lebanon were treasured for their strength, The spreading branches (v . 6) tell of expansion and growth. The olive tree (v, 6), the com and the7vine (V. 7), all speak o f fruitful- miss and usefulness, The* smell of Lebanon (v, 8) is the smell o f cedar and bespeaks a life so fragrant that It spreads around it the “ sweet savor of Christ” (II Cor,.2:16), The ever­green fir tree (v, 8) speaks o f con­stant freshness and beauty,

God has all these things in mind for every Christian* that it, tor ev­ery sinner who will repent and turn to Him through Christ, and tor every backslider who will return to Him today.

Burial A t SeaIs Imposing^

You have witnessed many a funeral bnt there wa* one Saturday out from Miami, Fla., that was as imposing as it was unique to an Ohioan'

William Moody Edwards, 75, Miami inventor, bad a horror o f burial in the ground and it was bis wish that he be buried, at sea in the warm Gulf stream from the Florida shores, Tha family composed o f bis .widow, „* daughter and five boos, complied with hfs wfBh and had every detail carried put as had been planned by the de­ceased,

A motor boat carried the body, six pall hearers and Methodist minister, from the municipal pier, followed by another boat with the family and a third’boat with newspaper representa­tives and photographers. Upon enter­ing the Gulf stream anchor was laid and the silver casket slipped from a special platform onto the bubbling water, Slowly it sank w ith’ ll wreath secured to the top lid, only air bubbles

' marking the exact spot for the time.The minister read, “ Farewell, fare­

well, you sail away.”Almost as though in harmony with

the ceremony the casket floated on the waves as the .minister added:

.“ Be not afraid o f hurt or loss It is a peaceful way you take;The night will see you safe across, And when you land the day will ,

break. tThen* Ah, the dear ones gene be­

fore,What welcome waits along the

' shore!”One edge o f -the silver casket Hipped

beneath the water as-the final verse was read:

“ Farewell, you vanish from our sight, <

And into the shadow softly glide,O Loved o f Ours, bound for the

H*ht>They watch you from the other ■ ■ ■. s id e ,;All joy and blessing go with you . Who gd to God, farewell, adieu!” ' A garland of roses on the water

marked the spot as the boats turned shoreward.

Im M m m mt* To Be m m M State Fair

Work on a $137,500 improvement program at the Ohio State Fair grounds is expected to get under w«y about-May I , 4* a result o f recom­mendations mode to Governor John W , Bricker by a State Fair Advisory Council o f H member* named by him last September to study the physical property and financial set-up o f the State Fair. ,

The Improvements are to be financed jointly by the State and the Works Progress Adminisratioh. Provision to finance thp ^State’s share was com­pleted when the State Board o f Con­trol approved a $39,058 emergency ap­propriation. W PA wijl contribute $98,- 532 in labor, toward this; emergencyprogram*

Emergency itenm approved—-items essential to conduct o f the 1940 fair to he held August 24 to 30, include: Elimination o f fire hazards in the draft horse barn; completion o f a basement1 under ..the cattle barn; con­struction o f three wash racks for cat­tle on display; construction and re­location o f electrical wiring through­out the .grounds; painting in the sheep barn;'cleaning and repairing the sew­er system; installation o f 5,440 feet o f new water lines and 18 additional fire hydrants throughout the grounds, and’ construction o f an , addition . and new toilet facilities at the Horticul­ture and Agriculture Building. ,

W PA engineers are. now at work, on completion o f detailed plans and forms to b e ‘submitted to WPA officials at Washington for their final approval.

Completion o f these, emergency im­provements will add tremendously to public 'Safety and: convenience and to facilities available to exhibitors dur­ing the 90th annual State -Fair this year. .■ - ,

WASHINGTON LETTER(C ontinued F rom F irst P age)

through WiP.A. provide but hare liv­ings for those engaged in the work, while the work itself is o f but tempor­ary benefits and value to the taxpay­ing public. The argument is being made that the expenditure of the same amount o f Federal money for public projects, through contracts let to pri­vate construction organizations, would actually give more beneficial employ­ment, both directly and indirectly and would at the same time result in more permanent improvements o f much greater value to the taxpayers. A number o f labor organizations favor the change, as do many business groups. Whether or not the Roosevelt Administration will suggest a change in relief policy to the Congress will be dependent upon the result o f confer­ences scheduled to be held within the next ten days or so, it is reported.

Millions o f unemployed ? Yes. Not jobs enough to go around ? It may be. They won’ t look at a man past forty ? So? No woman in middle life can hope to get work? Perhaps, Thus the ques­tions and.answers may be, yet in spite o f that, there are those who are in demand and keep busy.

There is Mrs. Engler, for example. She is a widow. She has two married daughters. She gave up her own home nine years ago yielding to the call of a friend to work as a domestic. She has served others since. She. likes it. “ She’s old-fashioned", said one em­ployer. “ That’s why we like her. She cooks the finest meals. Then, too, she is conservative. Thnt suits us We don’t like some o f the ideas o f the younger women, Mrs. Engler works steadily, and does not get nervous- She gets lots done".

Recently* when the engagement with a family was complete, she took a two-weeks vacation at a daughter’s home. She could scarcely remain there for eight households sought her ser­vices. She ds in demand. It may not be always what she ...wants, but she is putting herself gladly into the work people want done and therein lies her contentment, A plain Christian wo­man o f excellent health, she is suc­cessful in her field o f Usefulness* and happy that she can serve.

Then there is Mr. Williamson. He is at the age when men usually retire if they can. Five years ago, he bought a beautiful but modest country home, but his .corporation does not permit him to live in it. He is a structural engineer who is sent out on jobs all over the country. “We just finished a power plant in West Virginia, which uses a car load o f coal an hour” ) They came home. “ Mrs. Williamson wants to spend the \vinter in our home on the. hill” , said he. “ The company is using me near Pittsburgh, and I will get home week-ends” . Eight weeks later he was ordered to Alabama, “ The
