Declares Farm Plan Presents Radical Change North Dakota GOP Senator Says Plan Presents Problems WASHINGTON (INS) —A GOP senator said today that President Eisenhower’s new farm program ‘represents a radical change” that will require much congressional scrutiny. Sen. Milton Young (R-N.D.) added in an interview that he would' not want to ‘approve or condemn’ the program at this time. He said a thorny question for.congress to decide is whether the proposed soil bank should be mandatory or voluntary on the part of a farmer. The President in his state of the union message announced he will ask congress to approve a soil bank. Farmers would be paid under this plan for diverting land from surplus crops to fertilitybuilding grasses. In addition, they would be recompensed for voluntarily taking land ont of already, allocated acreage for 1956. Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt.) told an interviewer after two conferences Thursday with agriculture secretary Exra Taft Benson that “I am not entirely satisfied” with the program. Senate Democratic, leader I-yri-don Johnson issued a statement raising a figurative eyebrow at the administration’s “election year concern", over downward farm prices. But he said the concern "is welcome even though tardy.” Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (DWlfln) told the senate that as late as last September. Benson opposed a soil bank. The Minnesotan said: “Now. as if it were a product of bis own imagination, the secretary comes out and hails it as if it was his own. < Sen. George Bendet (R-Ohio) retorted that Democrats although in control of congress last year , “did absolutely nothing” about the farm situation. < Four Hoosier Farm Leaders Are Honored Four Outstanding Leaders Honored LAFAYETTE, Ind. (INS)—The Purdue agricultural alumni association Thursday named four outstanding Hoosier farm leaders to receive certificates of distinction. Those honored were: Chester Biddle, Remington, Benton county certified seed and soybean grower. Angus breeder, former association president Marvin J. Briggs, general manager of the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association and president of the National Council of Farm Co-operatives. Dr. Earl J. Butz, now assistant secretary of agriculture in Washington, on leave from his post as head of the Purdue department of agricultural economics. William R. Rothenberger, of Frankfort, whose family has aided Purdue University technicians in testing modern developments in farm management. L. K. Wyckof. of Valparaiso, and Karl Huffman, of Lapel, were named for distinguished Purdue “ag" awards, both for the first time. Those who had been in this group previously included J. R.

Award Is Presented County Rural Youth Award Is Based On Balanced Program |i '* Adams county rural youth received a gold award Thursday for their program achievements in ■ 1955. The award is a gold bar which will be added to the rural youth plaque. It was presented on the basis of a balanced program of education, recreation and community service -activities. This is the third consecutive year the Adams county club has received a gold award, which is the highest award given. Eleven counties in the state of Indiana were awarded gold bars from the Prairie Farmer WLS radio station at the Dinner Bell radio broadcast during the state rural youth day activities at Purdue University. Roger Koeneman. 1955 president, accepted the award for the club. Over 509 Indiana rural youth members attended the rural day activities. Ono of the program highlights was two talks by. Dr. Frank Sluts of Dayton, Ohio, who spoke on “Time for Decision" and "Our Challenge." International farm youth exchange members told about the countries they visited and showed slides of the countries in the morning session. The day’s program concluded with a| banquet with entertainment from the Purdue musical organisations and a play party last night. Adams county members who attended the day’s activities were: Shirley Gerke. Sally McCullough. Juanita Hoffman, Dallas Neuenschwander, Merlin Alt. Earl Yoder, Gloria and Roger Koeneman. Rural youth members from Adams county who are students at Purdue University and attended part of the sessions were Donna Schieferstein, Bob Heare and Ronald Stucky. Says Farm Problems Will Be Solved WASHINGTON (INSI —Under secretary of agriculture True D. Morse deciares that farm problems will be solvedMorse did not say, however, when they will be. The under secretary said they would be solved “by -a broad, many-sided attack." ( The forecast was in the text of a speech prepared for a rural-urban meeting of the Benton, 111., Rotary club. —r—• —. CONGRESS GOES (Continued from Page One) La.), commented “In my entire experience I fewve never read a message .more sterile in new ideas than this one ... it is a remarkable campaign document." House minority leader Joseph W. Martin, (R‘Mass.), however, said: “The President's message on almost every element of our burgeoning way of life contains a reasonable estimate of our needs, a reasonable approach to the problems before us and a reasonable solution." SEN. KNOWLAND (Continued from Page One) er, Bill confided two gems of wisdom. Flashing his familiar boyish grin, the 47-year-old senator confided: “My father gave me a couple of pieces of advice: First, never lose your sense of humor; and second, many times a fellow’s recreation has to be a change of troubles." , Obviously it was the latter bit of philosophy young Bill took to heart His attractive brunette wife, Helen, insists that the man she has known since grammar school and still calls “Billy” was born without that saving grace—a sense of humor. She and their three children wistfully complain that B ill i» so wedded to his job that he sometimes fails to see them when he charges into the house. Knowland’s career is not only his life and his hobby;- he burns with the zeal of a dedicated man. “The whole future of human freedom may depend to a large extent on how we manage our affairs here at home in the coming months and years,” he told me seriously. "If we go under, we’ll take the whole free world with us, and the enslaved peoples will have no place to look for hope.” To Republican Knowland, that hope lies with free enterprise — ndt with socialism or controlled new deal economics. Frowning like a modern-day atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders, Bill continued: “Do you realize that even if we began to pay off one billion dollars a year, it would take us 280 years to retire our national debt? Look at it this way. Even at the smaller rate of one million dollars a day, we would spend the next 750 years writing off our national indebtedness. How can anyone i talk about tax reduction until we do something about the debt? < It’e unthinkable to Uve forever 1 on bbrrowed money!” 1

Rardin said he had heard there was a tape recording but Wedeking denied this. Rardin said: “It’s a shakedown, and if there is a tape recording, that proves it” . f ’ ■ Wedeking then reported details to Governor George N. Craig who had a stormy session with the state auditor. ... After this jneeting Rardin vot- 1 ed for the transfer of funds, although he had previously stated he, would not do so. ' i

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

1 Sunday School Le—cm 1 nr.i«cijiS!SHi.| i ijMl 1 Cure for Worry Lessee for January S, 1956 “'T'AKE no thought for your ' A life, what ye shall eat neith- , er for the body, what ye shall put on.” Did Jesus say this? There it stands in Luke 12:22. But how foolish it sounds! Christians do take thought tor what they eat; they plan meals, they eat in Grade-A restaurants if possible; they make out grocery lists, they

store food in freezers. They take thought for the body, too; didn’t you get out your winter underwear and your overcoat, and didn’t you store those last summer where the moths couldn’t get at

them? Very good Christians act as if Jesus never said "Take no thought ...” As a matter of fact the Instinct of such Christians has always been right Jesus never did say this. The Revised Standard Version gives the word of Jesus the . right translation which Greek scholars have always known was correct: “Do not be anxious.” Thought for the future is not wrong; anxiety about the future is wrong for a Christian, and not good sense' for anybody. .. . ............ .1 . ** “Year Father Know*.. .** Worry is a kind of disease, and ’ Jesus offers a cure for Jt He had tested it in his own life first, and countless Christians have discovered that it will work. First and most important Ingredient in this cure for worry is trust in God. Many people believe in God, after a fashion, without trusting him. Jesus reminds us that God is our Father, and that he knows what we need. He knows we need food and clothing. He will not see to it that we shall get what we need without our having to lift a finger. He will not promise to give us all we want. But we can be confident that our Father in heaven is'none other than the Infinite and All-wise God. Whatever is real, is known to him, however small. The needs of the flowers in the meadow, the needs of the birds on the wing. God knows these —and how much more ’ we his children have a right to depend on him! Worry is a sign we have forgotten God, or don’t think he is wise enough, or strong enough, to do what is right. Mountain and Molehill <Most human minds are pretty active. They are like a sweetpea vine; its tendrils reach out and if they don’t find a fence or a trellis they will climb up the nearest weed. So our minds get twisted around weeds and get Jost in the high grass when they should be climbing into the sunshine. A second ingredient in Jesus' cure for worry" could be expressed in the proverb: Put first things first Most worries are caused by the things that are least Important. Jesus picks out food, drink .and clothing, as the things which "all thd nations of the world” are seeking. Now these things are important It is not wrong to buy groceries nor to plan a garden. But when they take first place in our minds, when we are anxious about these things forgetting others more important we deserve all the trouble our worrying causes us. The preacher who worries more over how he says a thing than about what to say; the mother who worries more over her children’s clothes than over their minds; the Marthas of the world who are “anxious and troubled about many things” so- that they never have time for the heavenly Guest; these all carry burdens of worry which would drop off if they would put first things first The Mind at Work—on What? Worry is not to be got rid of simply by sitting down in an easychair and saying “Worry, go away!” You can't even pray it away, though prayer does help < enormously and (as was said) i without trust in God, worry is inevitable. Worry has to be worked ( away. Jesus’ cure for worry includes this: "Seek God's king- 1 dom.” Paul writes: "The king- i dom of God does not mean food and drink but righteousness and i peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” 1 (Rom. 14:17.) Any Christian who S will really put hjs mind and his energies to work in the service < of God’s Kingdom—that is to say, c adding to the too-small sum of >1 righteousness, peace and joy in e this world, working to make this I earth more like heaven,—will find s that his worries have mostly evapi orated. i ’ The starting place to reform the world is in your own heart., True freedom is doing what ws should and not what we would. p

Serving God Rev. J. R. Meadows It is a dangerous thing for any man to begin to begrudge God anything in return for blessings received froin Him when He is so generous in bestowing them. God gave the best He had to bring salvation to all men. He prepared happiness on earth, and peace and fellowship for all men, and finally eternal life and glory in heaven for all. The only thing He now asks of us is' that we serve Him, that we are Willing to share with others His blessings, that we show , some of that spirit that manifested . itself in Christ when here bn earth and give ourselves and our means to His service. Is this an unreasonable demand on His part? Is He asking of us too much? And shall we turn away From Him as the rich young ruler did, who is mentioned in the Gospel?
