From where I sit ...61/ Joe Marsh

Want a Vacation from Marriage?

Alvin Blake went south on his vacation, for some fishing, and left his Missus to enjoy a vacation from the corncob pipe, clothes in a heap, and solos on the harmonica. First few days, Martha enjoyed it—house neat and quiet, top back on the toothpaste, no morning mess from Alvin’s midnight snacks ( Al’s partial to a bit of cheese and beer at bedtime). Come the end of the week, she began to fidget; couldn’t even read the Clarion, it looked so unmussed; didn’t have any appetite with no-

body to cook for. She was about to wire Al, when he barges home a week ahead of time, and she almost cries for gratitude. (“Felt the same

way myself,” says Al.)

From where I sit, those differences of habit and opinion—• whether they have to do with corn-

1. Lend-Lease: vote on motion to recommit H. R. 1776, February 8, 1941. The Administration, recognizing that the other democracies were bearing the brunt of a war which would inevitably involve America, urged legislation enabling the United States to become “the arsenal of democracy.’' There were those in Congress, however, who believed as late as February 1941, when London was almost destroyed by the incessant raids of the Luftwaffe, that the war was of no concern to America. A motion to recommit the land-lease bill was sponsored by those forces in Congress. Failed.

GOP PLATFORM

(C«ntir,ued From Page One)

by the efforts of the Indiana GOP to get their party “right” with ex-

servicemen and women.

Auditor A. V. Burch is campaigning on a proposal to reestablish a direct primary. That question, too, was ignored in the GOP state platform. Burch says he was handed the platform and had nothing to say about its planks. The GOP state committee

says Burch speaks for Burch.

Governor Gates told the state convention delegates he favored returning the beer. and liquoi wholesale problem to the industry. That was his personal shingle to the liquor plank which is supposed to be the cure-all for the disgraceful political control that, his administration foisted on the

people of Indiana.

These 11th hour maneuvers will fool no one. They will be judged for exactly what they are—a vivid demonstration of the fumbling ineptitude of the Republican lead-

ership in Indiana. — o

actionary ideas of the Republicans. In short we have the anomaly of a Democraitc Congress enacting Republican legislation. That is what brought us to the

present emergency.

It all started last winter, when the Republicans took a few weakkneed, wisha-washy, nambypamby Democrats off in a corner and induced them to forsake he Democrats and work with the Republicans. It is this reactionary coalition that has brought us to the present emergency. We cannot remedy the situation by sending more reactionary Republicans to Congress. That would only make bad matters worse. The only remedy is the sending of more good progressive Democrats who have the backbone to resist the Republican intrigue. The primaries prove conclusively that the Democratic party is the progressive and forward “looking party, and that the Republican party is becoming more reactionary all the time. The Democratis primaries have eliminated about twenty reactionary Democrats and have nominated progressives in their stead. The

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES “Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?” was the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 13. The Golden Text was: “In the way of righteousness is-life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death” .(Proverbs 12:28). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations” (I Chronicles 16:8, 9, 23, 24). “The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works” (Psalms 145:17). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following pasages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “If mankind would relinquish the belief that God makes sickness, sin, and death, or makes man capable of suffering on account of this malevolent triad, the foundations of error would be sapped and error’s destruction ensured” (p. 357). “Sin, disease, and death have no foundations in Truth” (p. 415),

Four months before Pearl Harbor, when Hitler’s tanks were rolling across the Ukraine and Japan was driving ever deeper into China, the isolationists in Congress opposed extension of the term of military service under the Selective Service Act. They claimed that such an act would “indicate warlike intentions” to the aggressors and would “provoke” Germany, Italy and Japan. This opposition took the form of a motion to recommit.

CONGRESS MUST (Continued From Page One) personally with each candidate. All candidates were the guests of Party Chairman Robert E Hannegan at a luncheon attended by members of the President’s

cabinet.

“I am, of course, interested in the political welfare of everyone of you. When Congress is in session there are 531 members here and the President usually passes'out the word that the door is open to see him at any time on any business that affects the business of the government White House Door Open “So when you come to the Congress, if you will discuss the matter with the secretary who makes the appointments, a way can always be managed so that you can call on the President for any subject you want to discuss. “Of course, it may be sometimes deferred for some time, for the simple reason that there are so many 15-minute periods in a day, and we can’t make the clock unwind any more. “But it is absolutely essential in order that the program of the Democratic party as outlined in the platform adopted in 1944 which I helped to write — and I was a member of that original committee — may be carried out, that we have a Congress that is in sympathy with what that platform

calls for.

“Now, we have made some progress on platform since 1944. There are still a lot of things to be done. And, in talking to your constituents, tell them that you are interested in carrying out the program of the Democratic party, which has always been the party of progress, and always will be the party of progress. “I don’t see how any voter who thinks at all could vote for the Reece-Taft-Crawford program. It is just impossible. The difficulties with which we are faced now are due in part to the obstructionist tactics of those gentle-

men.

“All you need to do is read the record and study a little history, and you will find that the best reason in the world for your election is the welfare of the United

States.

“Right now we are in just as great an emergency — and have been ever since V-J Day — as we were when Pearl Harbor happened; and that emergency will continue until we get peace and

production.

“That’s all we want. That’s the program of the Democratic party — peace in the; world, and a production program that will help

rehabilitate the world.

“It will never be necessary to have unemployment if the program of the Democratic party as outlined in 1944 is carried out. That’s all I need to say to you.”

“Mr. Wheelfer has visited with me frequently. He has congratulated me frequently on my activities. He had told my friends how he appreciated the work that I

was doing in the U. S.

“But when faced with the accusation that he was cooperating with Gerald L. K. Smith, he made

a public repudiation.”

Smith lamented that Wheeler’s action cooled the ardor of “valuable people” among his fascistminded associates who might have otherwise contributed more fin-

PLAN TO (Continued From Page One) the fight for peace to every doorstep in the nation.” The plan of action adopted by the conference calls for half a million active workers in the nation’s 125,000 precincts to get 50 million voters to the polls. It urges united action by the independent voters against “the reactionary coalition in the 79th Congress that has betrayed the people by sabotaging every measure that would have brought security and

freedom.

“Through basic organization,” it declared, “through grassroots activity, through the building of ward and precinct clubs and councils and action committees, we will carry the issues to where the. voter lives and works.” The foreign policy platform, which was unanimously adopted, calls for “a swift return to the progressive global thinking of Franklin Roosevelt” and the “world good-neighborliness which was his legacy to us.” o Letter Writing Urge Scored By Mailmen Chicago, 111. — The motto for this week, by suggestion of the U. S. Postoffice Department, is “someone feels better when you send a letter.” “I ain’t that someone,” Walter Kilian, 38, said today. Kilian is a postman, one of the men who carry packs daylong. “I’m writing a letter this week myself” said Kilian “but not just to be writing.” And he produced the following letter, addressed to the topmost Mr. Big of the Postoffice Department: (You know who that is, Mr. Hannegan.) “I understand you big shots in Washington carry a big load these days. So do us mailmen. And if your new letter-writing urge to the country goes across, we’re going to be carrying more. “My pack tips the scales at about 30 lbs. each delivery and I got four a day. A postoffice official here says we could carry 10 more lbs. easily. Maybe, but not

easily.

“I carry maybe 5,000 letters a day and that ain’t hay. My shoulders are getting sore and so am I. Oh, things is okay the way they is, but I don’t figure to tote more mail around now just so somebody can write somebody and say ‘hello’. “If you want people to ,stay hotne nights writing letters to Aunt Gussie and like that, you ought to put on more letter car

“If not, looks like I’ll have to join the Teamsters Union, cause I sure feel like a dray horse. Know what I mean? “Yours Truly,

Plenty for the Rich?

Countless columns have been written in the last week concerning the meat situation, but the articles by Samuel Grafton in our local morning paper comes the closest to a perfect explanation of our present food predica-

The removal of OPA restrictions on the sale of meat has been hailed by the press of this country as a great panacea of the critical meat situation. It has turned out just as all intelligent people knew it would — less meat for the poor man’s table and an abundance for the table of the rich. It is just another case of the “haves and the have nots.” Anyone in his right mind should know that the present food situation cannot long exist. Something

State Unemployment Continuing a steady decline first evidenced in June, the combined totals of veteran and nonveteran claims received by the Indiana Employment Security Division in the week ending September 28 showed a drop of more than 5,500 fromthe previous week. Noble R. Shaw, division director, said that this total, which includes claims for state unemployment compensation and veteran unemployment and self-employed allowances, was about half the agency’s claims load for the same week in 1945 when 70,008 benefit

He explained that the drop in the number of weekly claims included a 1,200 decline in the number of state unemployment compensation and 4,300 lessening in the total of veteran allowance

claimants.

Bobbing apples in tubs of water— that’s Halloween fun. Baked apples \vith crumble topping (see recipe below)—that’s tops. Crispy crunches always have been associated with Halloween—but here’s a cereal crunch that is really super-crunchy and energizing. In fact, I recommend every-

thing that follows:

Baked Apples with Crumble

Topping

8 large apples, cored and cut in > halves. ! 5 tablespoons honey. ^3 cup water. 2 tablespoons butter- or margarine. % teaspoon salt. % teaspoon cinnamon, cup chopped nut meats. 1 cup corn flakes.

“HALLOWEEN TOPPING: Make pumpkin face from a peach half. Cut and remove triangular shapes to represent the eyes, nose, and mouth. Place on well-chilled rennet-custard just before serving.” , Instant Decaffeinated Coffee i There’s a new kind of decaffeinated coffee available which is a-special boon to the household where some take the regular variety and some prefer the decaffeinated kind. It’s soluble, and can be made instantly just by adding hot water. Like other decaffeinated coffee, it is 97% caffein free, so that it does not present sleeping difficulties. It’s a special convenience for late refreshments and for invalid or convalescent tray meals. This new soluble decaffeinated coffee is 100 per cent real coffee. It has the finest flavor and aroma because It is the finest coffee obtainable—only the caffein has been

removed.

New Electric Blanket The new automatic electric blanket can be washed easily and safely in any washing machine just as any high quality blanket. This convenience tor homemakers is made possible by the use of a new kind of single-strand spiral wire specially insulated with waterproof flaminol which was developed in the manufacture of two million pieces of electrically heated equipment for the Army Air Forces. This neW wire can be flexed more than one hundred thousand times without breaking? and will last more than 25 years of ordinary use, far longer than the life of the blanket material. Double-bed occupants will welcome a two-control automatic blanket which offers separate bedside controls which operate independently of each otherone for each half of the blanket. Momma sets hers for the warmth sha wants. Poppa sets his for the warmth, he wants—a temperature which often varies greatly from moipma's preference, due to the fact that there nuty be as much as a 30% difference In individual rates of metabolism.
