Dairy Promotional Campaign Is Urged Small Processing Tax Is Suggested WASHINGTON (INS) -r Tw major dairy industis groups proposed today that congreSs impose a small processing tax on their products to be used in paying for a giant promotional campaign to sell butter, chesee and milk. Otie Reed, Washington representative of the national creameries association and the American butter institute, toid a news conference that if the tax were four percent on 100 million pounds of milk and butterfat produced each year,. tt|e promotional fund would be 40 million dollars, that size would help to sell an that sie would help to sell “jan awful lot of dairy products. A joint committee representing the two groups also announced that it has asked Sen. Allen 3. Ellender and Rep. Harold I). Cooley, who will head the senate and house agriculture committees next year, to conduct full scale hearings into the dairy situation. As Reed put it, the present dairy situation “is somewhat of a mess, to express it bluntly,” He added that members of congress last year asked the industry in effect how long it expected the government to continue bailing it out of a financial mess each year and warned dairymen that they’d better begin putting their house in order themselvaa. Reed pointed out that nearly 63 percent of the three million U.S. farms which sell milk or butterfat, Or both, have less than four cows. Gist of bis argument was that, any production control program would fall largely on the more efficient producers since it would be almost impossible to regulate the small operators. Reed contended that there’s a lot of room to expand milk consumption—that there would be an equal shortage at this time if per capita use were on a level with that of 1945. He asserted that if per capita consumption is boosted only slightly “we should be able to eat ►our way out of our troubles." The joint committee does not favor any change in the 75 percent of parity support level for dairy products established by agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson. But it does feel that Benson is too optimistic in believing that this one action will remove tremendous government - owned surpluses of butter, cheese and nonfat dried milk solids now overloading the market. -

agree on every-| thing. You couldn’t I get together 600 ' outstanding mem- j berk of even one ’ denomination to- j gether and expect them never to argue aboy.L anything. But there was one point on I which all were

agreed at Evanston: every church there represented accepts the au.thority of the Bible as the- Word of God. Over and over again in many different problems, the question would come up: What does the Bible says Those who accused the World Council of ’’modernism” just do not know the Council or the churches that compose it. From the beginning of Christian histoty the Bible has been the top authority for individual Christians and for churches. Live Wires One of the most distinguished living translators of the Bible is J. B. Phillips, whose translations of the Gospels and the Epistles are widely used. He says in speaking of his work that he often had the same Impression a man would have who comes on live wires in an old house. The Bible was written long ago, before a word of the English language had come into existence. It was written in the “Middle East” by a number of authors over several centuries | of time. On the face of it you would think such a collection of writings would be a literary curiosity but nothing more. On the contrary, our generation like every generation before us has found the Bible speaking directly to the heart, speaking also to the conditions and circumstances of every era. If the Bible did not do this, if it were not (as the Writer to the Hebrews puts it)' "living andpowerful,” no amount of preach- “ ing by the church could have saved it from being forgotten. The Bible has .many who will speak for it; but it does not need many to speak for it, for it will speak for . itself, As Coleridge said, it has away of “finding" us where we are. Put into a man’s hands a Bible he can read —and this in America means a Bible in presentday English.' not in the language of Shakespeare, for most persons —and he will discover that he holds a Book that is more than a book, a Book that is more alive than he is Authority of the Bible Sometimes preachers, a bit overenthusiastic, will make claims for-, the Bible it does not make for itself. They will tell us it “answers all questions.” Os course it doesn’t and it ’doesn’t try to. As John Calvin said,—John Calvin, who always held the Bible as bis Number One authority —if you want to know about the stars, study astronomy not Genesis. There are innumerable questions of fact and of judgment which the Bible does not answer."lts authority is in the highest and most intimate realm: faith and life. The great object of the Word of God is not to supply us with Information about history, not evep about the history of God’s people. It k is not to satisfy our curiosity about matters which we could not understand even if God dictated the answers to us by telephone. What i the Bible does tell us, in many ways and some of them very plainspoken indeed, are truths of faith ... and life. It gives us answers— God’s answers—to questions such as these: What Is the matter with me? How can I be what I want to be? Why am I hero in this world? What is the matter with the world? How can I come to terms with God? What have I or what has any man to hope for? Is the universe friendly? Light of the World The Bible, tn short, gives us God’s word, his truth, about how we can become the kind of persons God wants us to be; bow we can do what God wants us to do. The Bible Is the authority not only for personal life but for life in contact with others. It does not give us rules, but It does give us principles. The great feature of the Bible, however, is neither rules nor principles. The great thing It does for us is to bring us face to .face with Jesus Christ The whole Bible points toward him. The world is full of people who want you to take over (heir responsibilities. is a man who thinks other people.

Joy For The New Year By Mrs. J. R. Meadows In this season of joy and gladness at the beginning of a new year, the true Christian is the happiest person in the world. Trusting in his Heavenly Father, he has so much io make him joyful and so little to matte him sad: so much to cheer him and so little to depress. His basis of happiness is continuous and satisfying, for the Christian religion is eternal and complete. He rests in the assurance that God is all and in all for him. The Apostle Paul, with the fullHsss of Christ in was a joyous Christian, His was a life of constant holy delight, ever welling over 'in expressions of gratitude to God. To the Philippians life wrote:' “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say,“Rejoice.” -Phijlppians 4;4. This emphasized admonition was also written for us as we face the new year. We can rejoice because: God loves us. Jesus died for us. God forgives all confessed sins. He. hears our prayers. He answers our prayers. He helps us overcome temptations. He comfort? in sorrow. He helps us bear our burdens. He assures us of victory over' death. He promises a glorious home in Heaven.
