More Students In Schools of The County Now

There will l.-"* within three of 300 more pupils in Greene county schools than were in school last year. Auditor Curlett makes the announcement, based on the school enumeration 'vported to his office earlier in the year.

This year's enrollment is esti­mated at 10,096 compared to lV 799 last year.

The number of students be­tween 5 and 15 will run 9,103, and those between 16 and 17 will be 993, the auditor points out. there are more boys than girls in the lower grades, but more girls than boys in the higher classes.

The county’s largest enrollment will be in Fairborn where school children will outnumber those in. Xenia. Incidentally, the Fairborn school comprises all of Bath township while the Xenia school serves only pupils living in tne city.

Silvercreek’s school enrollment based on the auditor’s calcula­tion, will be 612 compared *o 603 last year, a gain of 9 pupils. Cedarville schools are estimated to have 463 against 454 in 1949, a growth o f 11 students.

The actual enrolment out at Jefferson, at Bowersville, will oe watched eagerly, as the school enumeration figures in the audi­tor’s office show 337 this year, a gain of one.

Clifton steps up from 69 to 73; Boss from 161 to 168 and the other districts, have similar gains.

Wheat Price Is Fixed at 90 Percent Parity

The government will continue wheat price supports next year at 90 percent o f parity—the max­imum allowed by law—and at not less than $1.99 a bushel.

Those supports are the same as those that apply in the 1950 crop year.

The actual parity price will not be calculated until next July 1,

The department already has fixed the 1950 wheat crop allot­ment at • 72,800,000 acres. With 'average per acre yields, that would mean a crop o f 1,150,000,- 000 bushels, compared with his year's estimated 996,000,000 bush­el harvest.

Only farmers who stay within their alloted acreage are eligible fo r price support benefits. De­signed to prevent'-price dips cost­ly to the grower.

Parity is a legal price level, worked out by formula, designed to be fair both to producers and consumers.

There will be no farm storage payments next year to producers.

• The commodity credit corp. for several years has paid a seven cents a bushel allowance for storing wheat covered by sup­port loans.

One of the county’s pair of Spahr roads is in Ross township; the other is in Sugarcreek, off Washington Mill road.

Cedarville Has ManyCedarville township has more

than its share o f odd-named highways and byways, e. g. Fish- worm is well enough known to to residents of the communty who travel it and SR-72 from which it leads.

Though it may not be as long as some roads, it is as wide as most of the other local thorough­fares—‘Little road, which leads from Grape Grove road in Ross township. There are two local

roads named Wilmington in the county—one leads south from Ce­darville to the Federal road, ^nd the other is in Sugarcreek town­ship, connecting with the ’ route to Dayton. .

Picturesque NamesOn the long list of local roads,

many of which are, odd to those who do not travel them, but. easy and familiar to those who have known them always, are some colorful names—Cornstalk* in Spring Vallpy township, Polecat ip Miami township, Possum Ttun in Sugarcreek, 'Fishworm near Cedarville, Henyjlle down -tgtjjgr end of .the. county near Spripg, Valley and Tanbarkyp&d.-js Jisar, Clifton the new map shows.

The atlas brings to light by summary the many odd'names .that are preserved in the county on its one-time horse-and-buggy lanes. Students of Ohio geography have found Washington county richest in odd names.

County Claims State Owes Refund

ensesAfter a careful audit o f sums

paid by Greene county to the state o f Ohio for care of feeble minded persons sent to state in­stitutions, a claim for overpay­ment is being formally made.

The over payment amounts to- $13,814.10, according to the audit.

The time period involved is from Jan. 1„ 1931, to Dec, 31, 1942. -

The claim is based on a deci­sion by the supreme court that the state may not charge more for the care of a patient than the expense actually involved in their support.

It took more than two days for the PRR to repair the dam­age done to its track at Cor­win (Waynesville) caused by a truck ramming Train 41 at the crossing.

Enrollment of Greene County Schools to Increase 100 Per Cent In Seven Years, Commission Says

Soaring public school enroll­ments in Greene county—an in­crease ’Of 50 percent during the next four years and 100 per­cent in seven years—will cause critical situation unless an over­all program is developed by the citizens, the Ohio Citizens com­mission for the public schools thinks.

* Completing the first o f 88 county studies o f present and fu­ture public-school enrollments, the commission declared that in-

in Greene county will increase from 9,502’ pupils in 1949 to 17,- *790 by 1955.and 24,179 by I960, 'Recording to the commission’s ' study.

However,? peak enrollment will not- be reached for 14 years whan it will reach a total of 26,308 pupils, an increase o f about 175 percent above 1949 enrollment and almost 300 percent above Greene county enrollment in 1940.

Most critical problem in Greenecreased population and birth in- county will be to provide addi- creases would combine to make tional buildings and trained

teachers for, elementary school ehfldren* the survey shows;

In just three years, elemen- tapyenroHment will increase t>y 50 percent, rising from 5,849. to 10,141 youngsters.,by 1953. How­ever, gyade scl\)ol enrollment willdouble by 195$, reaching a total o f 14,000 pupils which will be about peak grade school en­rollment. ■

"S<3cause*of th# migration into Greene county, a rather -unique situation has existed for many

a tremendous increase in the public school population of Greene county.

According to Dr. Arthur 2* Klein, executive secretary o f commission, th e ) school pppula* tion- studies are ‘ being made to assist local citizen school^ groups and persons interested in . pub­lic school improvements to plan for the future.

The studies are being • made for the commission by Dr. Ron­ald "B. Thompson, registrar of Ohio State university; Srad aje based uppn births, .population, and. enrollment trends.

the number born in Greene coun­ty six years previously. Even after large numbers of these pupils have dropped out of school during their* academic career, still the number enrolled in he 12th grade has been 108 percent o f the .number born 17 years previously.”

The suryey vindicates that the large numbers' o f persons who had migrated1; into Greene coun­ty during the< warvyears had re­mained as permanent residents. An investigation o f population statistics in >She county, during

■ the post war y ears shows no sig­nificant change.

fAlong Greene County Real EstateFarm Front Transfers hiBy K A . BRAKEAnnual Swine Day September 21

The swine day o f Ohio agri­cultural experiment station will be held, at "Wooster, Thursday, Sept. 21, starting at 10 a. m. The morning program will include visits to and discussions of the swine experiments being conduct­ed by the station. Among the set tests are studies o f pastures for use with swine on various rations, studies o f soybean oil meal as a high-protein feed for pigs, crossbreeding studies and other experiments.

In till afternoon Dr. B. II. Edgington, of the veterninary sci­ence department, will discuss the prevention and control of swine diseases; W. L. Robison will dis-

.cuss the recent crossbreeding ex- pferirrfents at dhe station, ‘ in­cluding the results of work with

_ the Landrace X Poland China ’ cross.

A display o f carcasses and cuts from the various crosses will be explained by W. H. Bruner, swine marketing specialist, and L. E. Kunkle, Ohio State uni- v ^ s ity njfeat sspsfcialist. This display is intended to explain the type of carcass consumers want. Much o f the breeding fo r type has centered around a hog with a relatively low percentage of and high percentage o f the lean

- or higher-priced cuts.Be Ready to Save Frosted Com as Silage

“ I f cool weather persists, and frost catches corn at any time before the kernels are dented It should be ensiled at once. Sup­plementary silos of paper and wire* may he necessary. “ Paper and wire for these supplementary o f emergency silos are easy to get now. After frost everyone may be scrambling for the same materials i f the com is hurt.

When frosted before the en­siling stage, corn should be en- sible to save leaves and to reduce losses that occur in the standing stems. I f using a forage harvest­er,. be careful to keep the light, dry leaves in the wagon. See that corn cut and bound for ordi­nary silage cutters does not suf­fer unnecessary leaf loss. European Com Bores

The second generation o f corn borers was of little importance this year. Moths emerged in Au­gust, but few eggs were laid due to cool nights.

The first generation of borers now in the stalks are fewer in numbers than last year, although in some fields there are enough to cause stalk breakage. The dam­age will depend largely on the hybrid grown, since some hybrids are much more resistant or tol­erant to borers than others.Grain Weevils

Weevily wheat may make fumi­gation necessary this month. Bins should he inspected and if wee­vils ate found, the grain should be fumigated before cool weath­er with carbon bisulfide.

First Ohio Editor’s Grave May Be Marked

William Maxwell, the first publisher of a newspaper in Ohio * — the Centinel o f the North Wes­tern Territory— is buried in Bea­vercreek township, Gfeene county under a plain native stone on the farm of J. D. Steele not far from Trebein.

A Cincinnati member - b f the Ohio legislature—Donald R- Rol- fe— says he will introduce a bill at the next session of the as­sembly seeking to make the hur- ial spot a* shrine to the first edi­tor-and publisher in the" state.

History*''shows: that -Maxwell, ""reported to h^vd?-be^n at; Revolu­tionary war soldier, came to the Ohio country and lived for a while in the tiny village o f Cin­cinnati. Later he came to Greene county, and became an active citizen. He was an early judge, a sheriff and an organizer of the state militia, a member of the state legislature that first met in 1803 at Chillicothe, the early state legislature that first early state eaptial. Prior to com­ing* to this county he had been postmaster 'in Cincinnati. Memorial Marker

About nine years ago the Day- ton Printing House Craftsmen chapter erected a memorial tab­let on US-35 at Trebein to his memory.

The plan the Hamilton county legislator announces is to make Maxwell's actual grave a state- owned "Spot. *'

LAST Du(A Short Story)

By RICHARD HILL WILKINSONtilsii«5-U55

TlffiE N Aaron Howard and Jill ” Damon were married they went to liy'e on the ranch cn Grand Wash that Aaron had"*inherited from'his father. Both loved the place, for the West was their native land. They were supremely happy. Two years after their marriage a son, Phil, was born, and 13 months later a second son came. They named him Roger.

The children, as. is so often the case, did not detract from the af­fection between Aaron and Jill. Theirs was a love that went deeper. If anything, they came to depend more on each other for comfort and understanding. Aaron’s only re­quest of life, and Jill’s, too, was that they could.die together, that one would not be left behind to carry

When Phil was 24 he fell in lava . with a neighboring rancher’s daughter named Janice Akron.

on without the help of the other.But this was not to be. Phil was

12 and Roger 10 when Jill contract­ed pneumonia. A week later she died.

Aaron kept on, finding an outlet as much as possible for his natural­ly affectionate nature In his sons. He dedicated the remainder of his life to their upbringing, yet never feeling quite free of the emptiness, Uie ache that dwelt in his heart for Jill.

When .Phil was 24 he fell In love with a neighboring rancher's

.daughter named Janice Akron. Un­happily Janice had already won the. affections of her father’s fore­man, Jed Potter. Jed was older than Phil, a headstrong, ill-tem­pered youth, resentful of young Phil Howard's greater resources and better prospects.

Aaron, now past middle "a g e watching developments In the wis­dom of his years, saw storm clouds appearing on his son's horizon. Yet he withheld the advice which per­haps. should have been given. He thought of his own courtship of JilL He, like Phil, would never have let a rival discourage him in his en­deavor to win her affections.

Neither Aaron nor any one fore- *aw the tragedy which took place. Roger came galloping into the ranch house one morning with the news. Aaron saw the wild insanity in his younger son’s eyes, yet even

GREENE COUNTIANS RETURN FROM VACATION

t Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Cherry, 'Federal Pk., east of Xenia, re­turned this week from a month's vacation to Canada and Alaska.

Arriving in Canada their first stop was at Winnipeg and from there crossed the Canadian prair­ies to Banff. From Banff they continued on to Lake Louise where they remained three days and then went to Emerald Lake and on to Vancouver. They traveled on the liner, Princes Louise, from Vancouver to Skag- way, Alaska, and then continued by train along the Yukon Pass and through the mountains to Car Cross where they took a 24 hour cruise on Tutshi Lake in the Yukon Mountains.

On returning to Vancouver they went by boat to Victoria and thence to Seattle. and then to Portland, Ore., and Bonneville Dam. A t Seattle they made a side trip to Mt. Rainier and then 0o Yellowstone National Park where they remained three days. They also visited in Cody, Wya. before returning to Xenia.

METHODIST WSCSThe Woman’s Society o f Chris-

tain Service of the Methodist Church met at the church on Wednesday, Sept. 6.

• The new president, Mrs. A. E. Richards presided at the meeting, the first o f the new.year, which marked the 10th anniversary of the society and was dbserved by each member taking a penny, for each year o f their life and"’ a birthday cake with ten candles. Mrs. Paul Cummings had charge of devotions and Mrs. David Rey­nolds was program leader. She gave a very interesting and en­lightening talk, on our work for the coming year, on the subject, “ Saving Health for the Brother­hood of all Nations,” and out­lined a very interesting program for the year’s work.

The luncheon was served by: Mrs. Amos Frame, Mrs, John Mills, Mrs. Frank Evans and Mrs. Paul Evans.

then the announcement was a ter­rific shock.

••Phil's dead," Roger said hol­lowly. “He was shot by Jed PotteK Potter was drunk and Phil' came* into the Red Dog and'Jed'm ade some slurring remark about Janice" and Phil slapped his face. Jed had a gun and Phil was unarmed, but Jed shot him just the’ same.”

As Roger talked he was bqckling on the belt and six-shooter'that he usually wore when on the range Aaron came toward him quickly. He felt numb all over. He knew what Roger had in mind. ^

Aaron knew then how he had failed Jill. One of her boys-dead; the other about to commit a, crime that would bring him to the ■same end. The old man’s heart felt like lead, yet through his misery he saw the determination in Roger's face and knew that nothing would deter the boy until his brother's inning had been avenged.

“Aa right, boy,” he said quietly.“ I understand. We’ll go together.” And Aaron went and got his own gun and followed his son down to the corraL

They were up and off at "dawn. Toward late afternoon they crossed a trail and followed it. They en­tered a ravine and presently Aaron pointed to a spiral of smoke above, the tress. Roger's mouth set grim- ? ly. He swung to the ground. .Aaron did likewise. They crept up a rise and parted some bushes and saw Jed Potter hovering over a fire. Side-by side they crept down the slope and suddenly s t e p p e d through some shrubbery and con­fronted Jed Potter 13 feet away. Roger was in the lead, Aaron be­hind and to the right.

Jed Potter looked at them and feat leaped into his eyes. He start­ed to speak, checked himself. Rog­er's hand was on his gun. There was no alternative. Jed went for his own gun and died in his tracks, his weapon half-drawn, a bullet through his heart.. . .

Old Aaron entered the sheriffs .office alone and, told his story. ‘

. . And so while Roger slept- that night I loaded his .45 with blanks. We shot at Jed together. You'll find that the bullet that killed him was from my old .44, Roger doesn’t know it’s that way. He thinks he killed Jed. He’s back at- fixe ranch, waitin’ for you, sheriff. You needn’t tell him how it hap­pened; just say there’s no way of provin’ he's the murderer. I want the boy to live. I want something left behind on this earth that’s dean and fine and honest—like Jill.”

“ Wait a minute,” said the sheriff.“ I don't get it Aaron—” He started forward, but Aaron's old .44 had performed its second duty within 12 hours, end Aaron lay on the floor.. with blood on his shirt and a smile on his Ups—as if at last he felt he had done what Jill would, have wanted, and was once more with her.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY AT CHURCH, U. P. Womens Missionary soc­iety held their meeting Thursday, Aug. 31 in the U. P. church. The devotions were in charge of the Junior Missionary society.

EditorialPOTATOES

Though the financial and eco­nomic folly o f price support on potatoes has been brought forci­bly to the attention o f the people, the practice still continues* Mil­lions o f dollars have gone down the “ tater hole.” The government buys them at a high price—-a very high price— and sells them f o r ' l cent a carload, or dumps them out to rot at no price at all . . . all to keep the price up. For whom? For both the producer and the consumers. But both the producer and consumer lose by the program. The “parity” rises, so that the farmer pays more for what he buys, and the potato Consumer has to pay a high price fo r a product that is being de­stroyed by the millions of dol­lars' worth- Do you understand it? Neither does anybody else.

BILLIONSIn the first place nobody has

the mentality to grasp the idea o f a billion. Like snowflakes, grains o f sand and drops of water billions are inconceivable, That makes billions o f dollars impossible. What the individual creates has to be within the realm o f the human mind, as distinguished from the Almighty to whom belongs the sole power o f irt(ginite creation. There is no device or method by which the concept o f a billion can be made clear. Billions remain like astronomical figures — beyond our comprehension. But now we are talking about going in debt another $50 billions, on top of the billions we already owe. You take it from there!

W E LOSE IF W E WINWe must win the war in Korea.

That's our greatest present- minute demand. But winning the fighting war will by no means assure us we are through with Korea, any more than we are through with Germany or Japan. The immediate problem is mili­tary victory. Later economical and political problems will arise mountain high- The fighting could he over before long, hut handling the post-war period will be the baby on our doorstep for a long, long time. We must keep that fact in our mind in all our calculating.

TE E CALL TO W ARFewer men and women are en­

listing for military service than in the last two world wars. It is predicted that most persons o f military age will “ Wait till they call me.” Already there is talk o f raising the draft age to 35, and already married men, many o f them with families, are being drafted. What a short re­spite we had from that! It takes men and money to fight a war, and we are fighting a war—not a skirmish, not a little war, but a major war, or at least it has the potential o f one.

W HY HATE BUSINESS?One of the most mysterious

■things about political bomblast 33 lambasting business. “ Big businSess” has been harpoonetl and lampooned ever since the country first became inflicted with the Roosevelts. Why? You know why: It is sop to the pub­lic— ox" that portion o f the pub­lic—that is incensed because other people make money! And those people vote, remember . . I f you don't remember, the pol­iticians do.

IRON CURTAINIt may not come in your time

and mine, but it will corner—the day when the mailed fist that hammers folks behind the “ iron curtain” into a submission worse than the Czars ever dreamed of will lose its power. It is the way o f the world. Russians under the tyrants o f the centuries were better o ff than they are under- the regime of a self-styled popu­lar government, which presents the opportunity for tyranny greater then the country and the world ever knew.

John Mark, Who Made Good,Lesson for September 10: Acts

12: 12, 25: 13: 4-5, 13; 15: 36-40.Memory Selections Philippians 4: 13*

JOHN MARK was the son of Mary, owner o f the house in Jerusalem:

where, it is believed, the Sacra­ment was instituted, where the dis­ciples often gathered after Pente­cost and where they met to pray for Peter’s deliverance from prison. Thus, out of an atmosphere of Christian belief and the home of a godly mother, Mark was prepared for his first service as the com­panions of two great missionaries.

But "he failed. He left Paul and Barnabas at Perga and returned to. Jerusalem. When Barnabas pro­posed taking Mark on a second mis­sionary journey, Paul refused. The disagreement was sharp between them. Barnabas took Mark and de­parted for Cyprus; Paul chose Silas and set forth on bis own course.

The young Mark needed the dis­approval of Paul; he, needed to see the gravity of turning back. But he also needed the second chance that Barnabas gave him. And he made good. Jn after years Paul evidently revised his estimate of Mark, for he is favorably mentioned in II Timothy and named in Philemon among the fellow workers of Paul

The Second Gospel, the first to be written, bears the name of Mark. It is enduring evidence that Mark Indeed made good and gave great service to mankind. His life should be an inspiration to men to over­come failure and attain unto suc­cess in serving Jesus. And all can do this through. Him of whom Mark writes in his Gospel,

With a Buckeye In CongressCLARENCE J. BROWN Write*

The house will transact no business this (Labor Day) week, waiting for the senate to con­clude legislative action on sev­eral important tills. The present plans provide for the house to consider next week conference reports -on the tax bill "and other measures. Then, in al l ' probabil­ity , both the House and Senate will begin a series of recesses until after the November elec­tion, subject to prompt recall in an emergency.

The senate committee on armed services last week shelved the compulsory _ universal military training program bill until at least January, following receipt o f a letter from President Tru­man requesting the measure he held up. However, the chief exe­cutive is expected to press for UMT legislation next year.

President Truman sent a mes­sage to congress late last week asking fo r an appropriation of $140 million for the construction of new government buildings within commuting distance olf Washington for alternate use o f government departments, a n d agencies in case the capital city is bombed. Rather peculiarly, however, the chief executive re­quested no new housing for gov­ernment workers who man these departments, on the basis they could continue to live in Wash­ington.

, seemed to like her children and certainly they liked him and found him entertaining. A s fo r her, she saw in him i f not a perfect man, at least one with so many w onderfully good traits, that m inor traits could readily be overlooked.

But the trials that com e.from people liv ing together, did not escape their fam ily. Her hus­band was jealous o f the great amount o f time it was*necessary fo r her to spend on the interests o f her young son and young daughter. This jealousy was intensified when times became hard and she had to go to w ork tq augment the fam ily income. This she felt called upon to do because her children made an extra burden fo r her husband to carry.

Matters w ent from the proverbial bad to w orse state.Her husband bickered and quarreled, found fault with the children; the children turned against him, seemed to prefer not doing the things h e wanted done. He even struck her little 10-year-old daughter, which she savs she can never forgive, but only overlook. On top o f all this her w idow ed father had to com e and live w ith them.He was always on the side o f the children, so soon he and her husband were devout enemies. *

capital city is A-bombed, the few Government workers still alive may find residing in Wash­ington and commuting -elsewhere' a bit troublesome.

A t least 25 thousand new civil­ian government workers are to

• be given jobs in Washington with­in the next few weeks, according to administration plans. Nearly 300 thousand additional civilian workers have been requested by the various departments of gov­ernment—with the largest num­ber by the national defense es­tablishment—because of the pres­ent emergency.

General Hershey, head of the national selective service sys­tem, last week complained that nearly 3 out of every 5 young Americans called under the draft have been rejected for physical reasons. He insists army stan­dards are too high. Hershey also warns the president must soon issue new regulations to per­mit drafting of married men and perhaps those with children, between the ages o f 19 and 26. He also predicted conscription of at least another million Ameri­can youths within a year, even though the world situation grows no worse.

The senate and. house last week passed bills to authorize draft­ing of doctors, dentists, veteri­narians, and certain other medi­cal technicians. Under the house bill medicos up to 50 years of age, and technical men up to 45, would he subject to the draft. The senate bill fixes top draft age for M. D.5s at 55, and others up to 45. While the president is given authority to use his own discretion, both bills make clear congressional intent that any medics who escaped military serv­ice during World -War II, and were educated at the expense of the government, shall be the first to be drafted.

By the time this column ap­pears in print the war produc­tion (also known as the econom­ice controls) bill.will have reach­ed the White House and pr.obahly he signed into law by the presi­dent. The measure, which is a compromise of the differences between the house and senate versions, permits the president to control prices on a selective basis if and when he desires, providing he also at the same time controls wages of the'work- ers producing or handling fjie particular commodities on whiijh prices are controlled—such as steel, for instance. The measure also permits the president to order rationing of scarce commo­dities, as well as -to allocate or requisition scarce materials, coa- itilol ‘^certain consumer ch-edifs and encourage production. The price, wage, and rationing au­thorities granted the president will expire June 30 of next year, and allocation and credit powers June 30. 1952. It is being pre­dicted here the president will not invoke price or wage con­trols before the November elec­tion.

By a vote of 354 to 20 the house last week passed and sent to the senate where it appears ^e7rta| \ b e aproved, the Wood bill to require the regis­tration of Communist party mem­bers and Communists organiza- tions, $nd t o ' restrict their ac­tivities. The measure is much stronger than the original MundtNixon hill passed by the-house two years ago, and upon which the Wood bill has been based. The new bill is also much strong­er than the legislation recom­mended by the president.

Communists._ The President’s budget presented

in January contemplated a deficit of $5 billion for the year ending,July 1, 1951. " l had hoped that we might cut lthe expenses of the Government a s u f f i c i e n t amount so that there would be only a small deficit this year -I and a balanced budget next year. I felt con- / vinced that savings of. $5 billion could-be accomplished in our do­mestic non-military and foreign aid programs.

But today it is impossible to pay our expenses through savings in domestic expenditures. The Presi­dent is asking $10 billion more for the Armed Forces; and, in view or the world situation,- it looks as if we would have to spend at the rate of at least $25 billion on our own forces for a namber of years. Military aid to foreign countries is now requested at the rate of $4 billion, and other expenses inci­dental to preparedness certainly means a gross increase of $15 bil­lion.

Saving in domestic expenses is even more important now, but it is hard to see how such sav­ings could exceed $5 billion a year. That means that we face a net increase of $10 biiiion in our government expense, giving us an annual expenditure, when we get going, of $50 billion in­stead of $40 billion.* . <i *

¥ HAVE emphasized the vital ne-cessity of paying for this condi­

tion as we go. We already have a huge debt. If we ever get into an all-out war, we will have to add to it substantially. During the second World War many people thought we should pay for the war__out of current taxes. But we were'spend- ing about half the entire national production on war, and we could find no tax system to raise that amount without unbearable hard­ship .and injustice to many. The reliance on borrowing, however, is directly responsible for the* 70 per cent .inflation in prices over pre­war. No matter what controls are imposed, you can only delay in­flation if the government borrows $50 billion a ye'ar.

There is no reason at all why a tax system should not be de-

WASHINGTONREPORTBY SENATOR RQBFflT Ar. TAFT

DURING the past week I have been working as a member of the Senate Committee on the new -tax bill which aims

to increase the Government income at the rate of $5 billion a' year. No one likes to increase taxes, but today there appears to be no alternative in view of the mess .in which we find our­selves throughout the world and the strong position in'whicbour policy has placed the Russian*®------- ----------------------------1-----------------

vised to meet our present ex- - penses as we sue them now. It

w ill be unpleasant. It will delay the development pi civilian prog­ress. It will postpone many im­provements I should like to see made in welfare services. But that is the cost o f Russian ag­gression and oiir foreign policy. In spite of a gradually increas­

ing production, we cannot pay the cost of war ahd|also enjoy every­thing we would like to have at home. Increased taxes take away from the people the money they would like to spend on their own living and use it in support of our soldiers and our allies in foreign lands.

The tax bill So be passed is re­garded ag merely a stop gap. An increase of $5 billion will not ulti­mately balance the budget, but the additional spending will get started

.slowly, and with this bill there should not be aay very large defi­cit during the first six months ot 1951. A thorough re-writing of the tax system will; have to be under­taken during that period.

The current, bill does only three things: - > •

(1) It continues all the existing’ excise taxes which were about to be reduced.

(2) It increrises c o r p o r a t i o n taxes about 20 per-cent, increas­ing the rate on most corporations from 38 per cent to 45 Rer cent of net profits. The question of an ex­cess profits tax on corporations will probably be postponed until next year, although there is much support for it today. I believe a general increase in rate is better on the whole, but in the end there will probably be some form of ex­cess profits tax.

(3) The individual income tax rate is increased but not the ex­emptions, the total increase rang- . ing from 15 to 20 per cent o f what you pay today. This is accom­plished by eliminating the per­centage reduction granted in 1948.

W A R is a* tragedy. It is highly ” destructive/ of freedom itself.

Whether w e'could go through a third world war and maintain the liberty of our people at home is certainly open to question. At best, we will have a highly regimented economy.

But the mere frankly we face^ the facts, an# pay now the cost' o f what we tire doing now, the greater the hope of retaining in this country fithe liberty which we are trying to protect from, foreign’ attack, - . - . .

IN PROTECTING a child from ac­cidents, no matter how carefully

you watch over him, you can’t take file whole responsibility for his safety. The child .must be .taught

'respect for dangerous objects and pishes so he can exercise caution. Sharing this responsibility not only insures greater safety for him, but

1 the child is less likely to grow up with unreasonable fears. He under­stands the real dangers and has

'inore freedom of action within safe ’boundaries.

One mother wrote xecenily that she had made the mistake of tou­

t in g her child repeatedly, “ You must never go across file street.” He be­came so afraid of crossing streets that he refused lafer on to walk to school alone. With their second child these parents are following a different course. Instead of pre­senting crossing a street as some thing fearful like entering a bear’s den or a lion’s cage (something you don’t do even whan you’re grown up) they explain, “ You are too little now to cress the street alone, but you may do so when you are five years old.”

In the -meantime, there is plenty of drill in crossing streets safely—letting the child “ help” mother cross the street by looking out for cars and waiting for the green light.

, Here are some, of the common dangers of childhood and sugges­tions on how other parents have taught their children to look out for them:

Turning on the gas jets is one of the first serious dangers a toddler runs into. Until he is old enough to understand what you tell him, you will simply have to keep him away from the stove, with a stem "No, no,” every time he tries to grab the knobs.

When he can understand that the knobs are turned only when you put something on to cook, try giving him.a saucepan of water and then let him turn on the gas while you explain that the flame will be left on long enough to make the water hot. When the water boils, let the child turn off the gas. A few lessons such as this will con­vince him that taming on the , gas is serious, practical busi­ness and not play.A similar procedure usually suc­

ceeds in satisfying a child’s inter­est in lighting matches, though there are some children so ob­sessed with curiosity about lire that only constant vigilance and keeping matches out of their way will see them safely through this phase. Watching his father light his pipe and blowing out the match is enough for most children at first. Eater on, when striking the match himself is the big thrill, let him light the oven for you or the logs in the fireplace.

But always point out the dan­gers of fire—it is part of a child’s safety education to be well aware of risks and dan­gers.In this day of houses all on the

{ground floor, teaching a child to /stay away from open windows may not seem so important. But you never know when, he may visit someone who lives on a second or third floor.

Living on the fifth floor as I do, I am frequently terrified when friends’ children seem totally un­aware of the danger involved. In hanging over the window sill. So wherever you live, teach your ehiM caution in regard to open windows.

is difficult fo r some to under­stand why MaeArthur should he criticized for saying the same thing .the president said, in June —that Formosa must he defend­ed. Others wonder how the presi- den can issue orders-to Mac Ar­thur, who is now Commander-in- ‘Chief o f the United Nations Armed Forces and not on duty as a U. S. Genreal. President Truman’s statement to the press last Thursday that he will with­draw the American fleet from the defense of Formosa once the Korean affair is over seems to give the answer.

When is a dictator not a dic­tator ? ’ This question is being asked here, where last week the administration firs}; protested congress approving' an Ameri­

can loan to General Franco, the Spanish dictator, only to an­nounce a few days later the mak­ing of a third American loan to

“ Marshal Tito 'o f Yugoslavia, an- . other dictator.
