"Tumble, Tumble, Tumble!":,

Ben Ryder is back! After twenty years in Capital City, Ben has retired and come to enjoy life in the family honse on Maple StreetFirst thing Ben does is write us complaining how Our Town has changed. “Why, there’s no mud in the streets to sink up to your ankles ini” he says. “No pistol feuding in the town square! No moonshine liquor or Saturday night brawls! Nothing to do but settle for a temperate glass of beer in a law-abiding tavern!” “Tumble, tumble, tumble,” Ben

says, “how a town can get run down in twenty years!” And then Ben takes his tongue out of his cheek and tells ns how proud he is of the orderly, law-abiding atmosphere he finds here. And from where I sit, you can point to that growing preference for a moderate, wholesome glass of beer as one reason folks in Our Town are so temperate, and neighborly and well-behaved.

Mr. Truman’s personal rating. “But the 55% at which Mr. Truman’s personal popularity stands would give,the Democrats 7?. seats now held by Republicans in the House. They need only 29 to take command. The same 55% would give the Democrats 6 seats in the Senate. They need only four to win control.” U. S. News estimates that if the Democrats gain 53% ot the vote, they could pick up these House seats: three in Calif.; two in Conn.; one in Idaho; two in 111.; two in Ind.; one In Md.; one in Mass.; three in Mich.; two in Minn.; four in Mo.; two in N. J.; four in N. Y.; two in Ohio; seven in Pa.; one in Utah; one in Wash.; four in W. Va.; two in Wis.; for a total of 46 votes (this is based on districts where the GOP won by less than 53% in

I94fi.)

As to the Senate, the article said a Democratic rise to 63% wotild imperil Republican Senators in Wyoming (Robertson); West Virginia (Revereomb); Oklahoma (Moore) v and Kentucky (Cooper). It is interesting for PAC members to note that these senators have generally voted against the workers’ interest. However, U. S. News points out that a number of Democrats are also in marginal districts and

in Congress does that something, the party’s chances in next year’s election would be mighty slim.” U. S. News puts the main issue as: “Right now, the hottest political issue promises to be over prices.” The article then recalls that the Gallup polls have shown that whereas 47% of the vote went to the Democrats in 1946, now 56% of people say they’d vote Democratic. And, further, Gallup found that whereas 32% of the voters in 1946 thought Truman was doing a good job, now 55% think he is. U. S. News went on to say “special elections to fill House seats, held during the first three weeks of November show rises in Democratic strength in line with these polls. All the elections were in districts that were either Republican, or Democratic, by tradition and there were no turnovers. But the average Democratic increase in the four districts was 5.8%. “This boost, applied to the nation, would lift the 47% the Democrats got in 1946 to about

53%.”

The four elections listed by U. S. News were three Republican by-elections victories in the 10th Indiana, 9th Massachusetts and 4th Ohio and the Democratic victory in the 14th New York. In Indiana, the Republican vote fell off 6%; in Ohio, 3.9%; in Massachusetts, 3% and in New

York, 8.6%.

U. S. News ponders further: “An election now, that reflected either the Gallup poll or the average election changes from the voting in 1946, would put the Democrats in charge of both houses by a handy margin. Curiously enough, the party strength, both in the polls and in the average of Democratic percentage gains in the voting, is almost a

in the House are not certain of reelection. Andrews’ piece in the Herald Tribune lists some of the things GOP Chairman Reece did not mention after the recent elec-

tions:

“That the Republicans lost ground in the percentage of total vote in five special elections they

won.

“That a drop of as great a percentage in the 1948 regular elections would either lose the five districts for the Republicans or make It a narrow squeak, indeed. “That the Republicans lost ground in percentage of total vote in two special elections, Mr. Reece did not mention—elections in which Democrats held seats they had won in 1946. “And that a sizable portion of the Republican leaders in the Senate and House are beginning to realize that the party will have to get in and work if it is going to hold even Or gain in 1948.” It is also interesting to note, from a PAC angle, that the U. S. News and Andrews’ articles fail to mention the Indiana municipal, the Kentucky state-wide and municipal, the various elections in Ohio, such as Akrdn and other key cities and elections in ?»A n ^ r ? ber of °ther states, where PAC-indorsed candidates scored major reversals of votes. — CIO News.

“Success of the Jackson-Jeffer-son Anniversary Dinners will be a powerful Jorce in backing President Truman’s program in the 1948 elections and in insuring that he is returned to the White House along with a progressive Democratic Congress that wik help carry his program through to success. “I • am honored to be chosen chairman of these dinners and I am confident that members of the Democratic Party will make of them a tremendous success and a rousing tribute to our Presi-

dent.”

Mrs. Mesta emphasized the important stake that women have in today’s political events and pointed out that the Democratic Party was a pioneer in giving women a high place in Party councils. “Even before women were granted the suffrage,” Mrs. Mesta said, “they were admitted to membership in the Democratic National Committee. They have played an important part in national oolitics ever since. “The difficult problems that face us today and in the days ahead—problems which will be discussed at the anniversary dinners—mean that women will be active as never before in the 1948 campaign. , v “Women are determined to avoid the heartaches and needless suffering and waste of another war. Women are also determined that we shall not slip back into the old economic rut o£ boom-and bust. Women are determined to avoid the human wastage of another depression. “That is why women today are attracted to the Democratic Party and-to the President’s program for peace and prosperity. I am confident that the women of America will do their part to make the Jackson-Jefierson Anniversary Dinners a real success, and I am proud that I have been named as co-chairwoman of these dinners.” Mrs. Mesta, a former delegate to Democratic National Conventions, is prominent in Washington political circles. Her home is in Rhode Island. Wyatt, 42, a Louisville attorney and former mayor of that city, is also national chairman of Americans for Democratic Action. WEAPON RACE (Continued From Pa«re One) where the bomb exploded. The publication of a report by

possible use of radioactive gas in warfare adds more horror to contemplation of future War. Deadly radioactive materials would fail like rain, silently, ur>on an attached city, whose inhabitants would be unaware of their doom. The homes and factories would’ not be leveled as with an atomic bomb, but the inhabitants would perish, and the enemy could occupy the city without resistance when the radio activity disappeared. More frightening, however, if the statement made by Rear Adm. Ellis M. Zacharias, USN (retired) who wrote recently in United Nations World magazine, that thert are today, aside from the atomic bomb, weapons “that could wipe the last vestige of human, anima and vegetable life from the fac? of the earth ... These weapon: exist. They are being manufac tured right now . . . They are no an American monopoly. Severa' nations are known to have them.’ He also stated that the U. S. ha: perfected an. atom bomb 50 time: more destructive than those tha leveled Nagasaki and Hiroshima He further asserted that Russir is seeking military uses of cosmi< rays, and pushing the develop ment of rockets; Great Britain i working on guided missies; anc the U. S. has a secret biologica’ weapon employing *he use o. genns sprayed from rockets oi airplanes. “These modern weapons”, Zacharias said, “permit th( waging of intercontinental wa: from long distances. They are de signed to destroy life in cnormou: areas.” With such horrxble weapons a’ man’s disposal, war could practically wipe out the human race. But if man is clever enough tc devise such ways of killing, wh> cannot the same ingenuity devise a way of living—at peace with his neighbor? SOLID SOUTH CLALMS STATE OF MARYLAND For 82 years, Southerners have regarded Maryland as a northern state because it sided with the north in the Civil War. Northerners, on the other hand, think of it as southern—because its people act like Southerners and because it is below the Mason-Dixon line. This fall Marylanders had their minds made up for them. For the first time in history their governor got an invitation to the exclusive circle of the Southern Governors’ Conference in North Carolina.

trade arrangements to dispose of surplus supplies to needy countries fall in this group of programs.) Secretary Anderson aW listed a group of necessary “farm business aids and safeguards.” These included ample credit to finance farm ownership, production and marketing of commodities, soil conservation, available to farm and forest operators and to their co-operatives. Another point Anderson cited was continuing to encourage sound development and use of cooperatives by farmers* Crop insurance was styi another point in this section. ' In summing up this comprehensive long-range program, Anderson said: “A farm program should be something like a typewriter; it’s most useful when it ha® all the keys on it.. Some of the keys get very little use, but they’ve got to be there when you need them.” Secretary Anderson appreciates that the farmer is doing his share and more. He also apreciates the welfare of the former and of the country demand a sound program to protest the farmer from suffering as a result of the sacrifices he. is now making to continue at record levels of production. Secretary Anderson’s positive program to conserve and expand our farm resources is an outstanding example of Democratic leadership. r' , It stands in sharp contrast to the penny-pinching economies which the Republican-controlled Congress inflicted on the farmer in the last session of Congress. o Legal Notice NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION

HOMELY HOMILIES By J. C. ROBERTS, B. D. “WHAT IS EDUCATION” There are those who confuse education in general with formal education. They have the mistaken idea that if a fellow does not have a college diploma, he is not educated. It is still true that experience is the best teacher, and that the most important college is the school of hard knocks. The theory that adults can no longer learn has long been exploded. Only the lazy, the selfsatisfied, and the hopelessly defeated in spirit can no longer learn. We personally knew a man who began the study of Botany at the age of eighty-five. He had the right idea for keeping young. The Delaware County School of Christian Living closed last Monday with over one hundred receiving credits. These were all adults who are eager to be better prepared as workers in God’s vineyard. Paul’s admonition, ‘Study to show thyself approved unto God’ is not lost on them. In the educational process the Bible has an important part. Bible Sunday as observed the first Lord’s Day of each December is not an idle gesture. “’Universal Bible Sunday’ has become a reality since the American Bible Society has printed the Book— or portions of it—in over one thousand language.4.and dialects. A former head of the English department at Yale University said: T would advise any young man who is forced to make a choice between a college education and a thorough knowledge of the Bible, to choose an understanding of the Bible.’ It is well that the Bible, the first text book in the early schools of this country, is made accessible to our grade school children. No one can truthfully claim to be well educated who is ignorant of this greatest of all books.

U. S. FARMER IS (Continued From Page One) derson for food production in 1948 —goals set to meet the minimum needs of a program to turn Western Europe toward a lasting peace of free nations—these goals provide a continuation of the strain on our soil resources which began when the United States went to war in 1948. This strain may well be continued for another four years. These facts underscore the vital importance of a strong, longrange agricultural program tied in with the rest of our economy. • MORE MORE Last April Secretary Anderson discussed such a program in testimony before a Congressional Committee. He said: “Now is the time to train our sights on the target of organized, sustained and realistic abundance. . . “First of all, we need to keep our agriculture geared to developments in other segments of the economy to the end that a high level of income and employment is maintained. ... - . “Second, we shall need pror grams to help maintain stability J of prices at levels fair to both producers and consumers. . . . | “The third broad program requirement is an over-all land program to make sure we conserve and improve our agricultural resources. ... i “The fourth group of programs we need has to do with the welfare and rights of farm people.” . . . (Here Secretary Anderson cited the need for better housing, increased electrification, etc.) “My fifth class of needed programs include the gathering and application of scientific knowledge. ... “ . . . we need a sixth type of program.

If not, and you’re looking for “prize results” in hog raising, for the market money, or for the •how, start feeding Kraylets now! This remarkable new feed booster contains 80% milk nutrients, including cheese rinds and trimmings. It’s not a liquid. It’s not a paste -it’s in radically different DRY KERNEL FORM. Kraylets is now being made available to all farmers in the state. Higher gains—at lower cost Kraylets quickly proved itself a profit-making feed booster on thousands of midwestem farms. Hogs fed on Kraylets made higher average gains at lower cost than hogs fed under similar conditions but without the addition of Kraylets. Kraylets is simply added to regular hog rations to increase the nutritive value of farm-grown grains and concentrates, helping to finish hogs in less time and on less feed. And here’s even more amazing proof of the way Kraylets gets “prize results” in hog feeding programs. This year, hogs fed on Kraylets won a total of 325 prize ribbons at 26 Indiana County fairs and 28 ribbons at the Indiana State Fair, with every major breed represented. For poultry, Kraylets can easily be mixed with mash, scattered as a scratch feed, or

sprinkled on top of mash. Kraylets helps to increase egg production and promote higher hatchability. It helps get birds to market earlier, and is beneficial to broiler flock health. 80% Milk Nutrients This sanitary, easy-to-use feed booster is made from cheese whey solids (65%), cheese rinds and trimmings (15%)—for a total of 80% milk nutrients. It also contains soybean oil meal (15%), alfalfa meal (4%), and brewers yeast (1%). If you want bigger gains at low cost, start feeding Kraylets to your hogs and poultry without delay. You can get Kraylets from your local Kraft plant or from Kraft milk haulers. If you’re not near a Kraft plant, hurry and fill out the coupon below.
