COMMITTED MXX7HNO OF GIRL SCOTT EEBCCnVES A committee meeting was called by Mrs. Gerald Kline, Girt Scout Leader, and was held at her home, last Tuesday night. It was decided to have the meeting on the first Tuesday of every month. The following appointments made, are Mrs. Hubert Anglemeyer, co-leader; Mrs. Robert Brewster. camping; Mrs. John Pustl. chairman; Mrs. Pete Peters, program; Mrs. James Kirkwood finance; and Mrs. Sam Larson, public relations. It is hoped that anyone with usable toys, willing to donate them, will contact any Girl Scout, who will see to its’ distribution. A beautiful Christmas tree was observed in Mrs. home. This tree was made by Betty out of foil, and there will be several made at this week’s Girl Scout meeting, to be used for Christmas decorations. ■ • Mr, and Mrs. Herschel Greenwood, of Garrett, were in Syracuse Tuesday afternoon. PALE CARMINE AND RED ONE SOMETIMES wonders if our American pinks read the newspapers. If they do. we wonder if they attach any significance to the fact that the former pinks of every country behind the iron curtain have either ceased to grace this planet or are living west of that bit of Opaque drapery. One marvels at the magnificent Imbecility of these selfstyled “intellectual*!” Maybe they haven’t read the history of the old revolutions; but they must knew that not one single member of their roseate fraternity is alive today Id any country behind the iron curtain. Where do they think they win stand if they open the gates to the killer* who invariably follow in their wake? Now does it mean anything to our REDS when — and if — they read that Czechoslovakia had just sent a new batch of 55 former Communist politicians to “prison?” Do the almost daily prison and death list* from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania make a faint dent upon their mushy cerebrum*? Apparently not! . These “colorful” exponents of exchange for the Asiatic way of Bfe are net idealist*. They would turn their own fellow elttsens Into slaughter pens purely for the sake of personal reward; and p crawl reward iu jaut what they would receive— BUT IT WOULD BB Qf A QAS Why do they think |uunaa nature would make aa lU9 *• •( anderworid ie crave the phyab sal destruction efits superiors; and tt Is ths underworld which always gets In the saddle sometime during these revolutions. Our carmine lights are of the impression that only the rich would suffer if they were successful in turning this country over to the gentle administration of the Asiatics in the Kremlin. How do they account for the fact that, as in Russia, so in all the other iron curtain nations, every small shop owner, every little farmer who owned a couple of acres and a cow, every long-haired “liberal,” and—with but few exceptions —every original Red politician, is either dead or wishes he were! I REMEMBER... By THE OLD-TIMEKS From Paul H. Peterson es Chicago: “I remember when mailmen wore London-style. bobby helmets, carried a whistle attached to a long cam I MGS rr *• f a«ir amstiu w AS'dr i— «*r Am ****•’ chain and a chib tn their mail pouch to ward off vicious dogs.” From A. O’Daniel of Clinton, S.C.: “I remember when railroad locomotives burned wood exclusively and car* were coupled with link and pins. . . . Also, when there was no free mail delivery, either RFD or city ... no artificial ice. no bicycles, no autos, no phonographs, no radios, no typewriters.” Mr*. Julta Emlck es Scottsbluff, Neb.: “I remember when cow chips were used for fuel by the pioneers of central Nebraska during the drouth years when there was not enough corn to produce the standard suel —corn cobs. I remember the bay burner, too.” From John Foxton of Schulter. Okla.: ”1 remember when my father drove a yoke of oxen and we cut and pulled logs to town to make wagon hubs. We cut locust for carriage hubs. Wheat was cut with a cradle, we made clapboards and poles from white oak timber by using a chisle-like instrument and a mallet” From Mrs. J. B. Davis of Cordova, Ala.; “I remember when my father used to help make the coffin when anyone died within several miles of where we lived. They made the coffin* wide at the shoulder and narrower at each end. Boil ng water was poured on the side planks when they started to bend them to Ct the bottom of the coffin. Mother usually went along and carded cotton bats to pad the ins.de of the coffin.''-

POWER OF A CHALLENGE •THE POWER of a challenge! I have sung a song about that b I sing it again. A challenge will move some people to action quicker than anything else.

John E. Arnett of Prestonsburg, Ky., is the local representative of the Kansas City Life Insurance company which is located in Kansas City. , . He wanted to sell Mr. Ratcliff, in his home town, a policy, for Mr. Ratcliff was an influential citizen and the sale would make an impression on other people. So Mr. Arnett went to him but the other said that he already had a policy in one company and that he had been rejected by another company. There was no use in filling out an application blank. That seemed to be the end of it.

D. Carnegie

One day Mr. Arnett went to the store and wrote up a policy for the man’s partner. Just then Mr. Ratcliff came In and the partner said, “Tom, why don’t you get tn on this and have a policy with this man?* “No need. They won’t write me," he answered. “I won’t even consider the idea. Besides, be has already talked to mo about it.” Then it was that Mr. Arnett (fid some quick thinking. Ha decided to approach him on tbe ground of a challenge, so ba said, “You know Mark Twain said that a difference of opinion is what makes horse racing. Well, you and I have a difference of opinion.” “What is that opinion?* asked the other, mystified. “It exists as to whether the company will pass you or not,* answered Mr. Arnett. “I’ll bet you $5 that I can get you a policy at the standard rate.” “Do you really want to bet?" asked the other, his interest immediately challenged. - “I do.” “Fill out the form.” • Mr. Arnett did not know wh?‘.hcr or not his company would accept the application, but he reasoned, “You never can tell till you try.” " The medical examination was made, the papers forwarded. A month went by, then Mr. Arnett glided down the street, a letter in his pocket. Entering the store, he said, “Tom. you remember what you said about horse racing?" “Yes,” said the other, wonderingly. “Well, there are two sides, but only one winner. Five dollars, please.” The other man was delighted. Mr. Arnett had appealed to him by throwing down a challenge.

Republican Asked To Aid In Stopping Move To Socialicm TO ALL HOOSIER CITIZENS: Your country’s freedom is being threatened by an adversary < who comes, NOT with guns and bombs, but with weapons no less deadly—national bankruptcy and the stealthy tyranny of Socialism. Tbe enormity of this threat 1 has impelled the Republican Par- 1 ty to the unprecedented step of forming this statewide organization to adopt a set of principles, on which to make our stand , against the Democrat - Socialist ( Party in the congressional elec- ( tiona of 1950. ( You are urged to act AT upon participation in this pl* n t. — Form -District and ( County organisation of the Re- j publigpn Advisory Plat- ( form Committee. 1 SECOND—CIear all proposals I for party principles conceived < and ' discussed In these clubs < through this state organization. THIRD —Prepare for the educational campaign to follow. WE WANT EVERY DISTRICT IN THE STATE TO HAVE A PART IN THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TASK. Your Republican Cltisens Advisor}- Platform Committee has been set up on the following plan: Objects To mobilize all loyal Americans in a war against the Socialist invasion. To tell the facts and sound the warning in the home of every voter. To elect the whole ticket In the Fall, but not to support candidates for nomination in the Primary or Convention. Organization 1. The State Committee of the Republican Citizens Advisory Platform Committee shall consist of outstanding men and women, including at least one member from each congressional district. A member from each congressional district shall be designated. with the approval of the district chairman, as a member of the state executive committee of the Republican Citizens Advisory Platform Committee. 2. Each congressional district wili be asked to co-operate in setting up a committee within the district and including at least one member who shall represent each county within that district and be dedicated to a crusade to expose and denounce the creeping blight of Socialism 3 county committee shall be organized in each county with the approval of the county chairman. for the purpose of directing the organization of precinct clubs in each precinct of the county with the purpose of expounding Republican Americanism in a house-to-house educational campaign and showing that the Republican Party is the only vehicle which can defeat DemocratSocialist ruination of the country. Publicity 1. A news service tracing the deadly intrusion of Democrat-So-cialism into every household and every pocketbook, and showing that the churches and the schools are the next logical target for the Washington Democrat-Social-ists. 2. A continuous hammering by speech, radio, pamphlet, billboard and person-to-person talks, and through a political primer, >

on the stark fact that in the United States, government by the people is in deadly peril. • • • The time is short for the magnitude of this job. We know you will want to have a part in saving our FREEDOM from the slavery of Socialism. Now is the TIME TO ACT. Only a Republican Congress will be a safeguard against this impending peril. Won’t you help on your District and County organization plans. Communicate with this committee for any help you may need. Joe Rand, Beckett, Chairman. Department of Americanism. The Republican Citizens’ Advisor}’ Platform Committee, Indiana Republican State Central Committee, Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis 4, Indiana. GETTING DOWN TO CASES The Republican party in Indiana is getting down to cases in its effort to inform the people of this state of the real, basic issues that will confront them in coming elections. State Chairman Cale J. Holder has set up a new department of Americanism which will cover the whole state with, local committees dedicated to informing the people, and to finding out what the people believe to be the Important issues. The Republican Citizens Advisory Platform Committee is an outgrowth of the Marion County Republican Citizens Advisory Committee which has already done a great deal of spadework in this direction. State Chairman Holder, announcing the committee’s formation and appointment of Joe Rand Beckett as Chairman, said, “We must present a clear picture of the party’s program in it’s fight to save the country from the perils of the police state. This calls for the promulgation of specific programs which all the voters can readily understand.” The party ought to come up with a positive and effective answer to the dangers of concentrated power in government and the drift toward the monopoly state.

AS A RESULT of the recent elections, politics is in the air in Washington, with Republicans somewhat downcast and Democrats jubilant over the outcome in New York state and in other offyear elections. Both parties accepted the New York election, which pitted ex-gov-ernor Herbert Lehman against Sen. John Foster Dulles for the seat vacated by Sen. Robert Wagner, as a test of issues. Lehman was squarely for the Fair Deal program of President Truman, and Senator Dulles squarely against the program, with Lehman the decisive winner. As a result, toe RepabMcan high command may change ta a middle-of-the-road opposition to Democratic proposals. Governor Dewey was defeated on a “me too bat do it better" pro* gram, and Senator Dulles tried the direct opposition method. Both failed. They point to the middle-of-the-road course es Governor Driscoll of New Jersey, reelected as conservatively liberal, and to the campaign of Senator Ives of New York, also a conservative liberal, who defeated Governor Lehman for the senate tn 1946. Pointing to the campaign being made by Senator Taft in Ohio as winning friends, the Republicans may adopt a “semi-liberal” stand for the 1950 elections. At any rate. President Truman is at the height of his popularity which strengthens the morale of the Democratic ox'ganizations in the large cities. That these organizations need strengthening is seen in the defeat of the Curley machine in Boston and the Hague machine in New Jersey. The Democrats are planning to wage a strong campaign for farm votes, especially in the Midwest, and will make strenuous efforts to capture the votes of small businessmen. Despite victories tn New York, which add a senator sad a congressman, and in, California. which gives another congressman to the Democratic majority in the next session, the congress convening in Jan- * uary will be essentially that

As Republican Governor Alfred E. Driscoll, of New Jersey, said after his outstanding victory last week, “The Republican party must stop improvising as it goes along ... It must start being for its worthwhile philosophy of government . . . We’ve got to let the people know that we want decentralization of government and make them see why home rule is vital for this country.’ Indiana Republicans have taken a long step in the direction of a better informed voting public by launching this new campaign to “get the facts to the folks* in every corner of the state. —The Indianapolis Star.

Unless these congressmen coma back to Washington with different viewpoints after consulting tho home folks, the President will have about as much difficulty enacting the rest of his program.

With a new record cotton production of 15,534 bales predicted tor 1949, Secretary of Agriculture Brannan has announced a 1950 marketing quota of 11,733,750 bales and a national acreage allotment of 31 million acres in a move aimed at reducing the 1950 production by at least 20 percent. Dr. Willard E. Givens, executive secretary of the National Education Association, said that in the coming decade 1,300,000 new school teachers will be needed. The demand tor new elementary school teachers will be about 100,000 annually he said, while only about one fifth of that number is being prepared each year. He pointed to the fact that, while average salary of all employed persons rose nearly 105 per cent between 1940 and 1947, salaries of school teachers increased only 66 per cent and that average pay of school teachers is tar below what could be considered professional compensation. This tn addition to too few and obsolete buildings and other school facilities, is placing a tremendous drain on ■tote and local taxes. Add te this a tremendously Increased enrollment, and it la Bkely that In many urban centers only half-day schools will be held. There is expected tremendous pressure in the next session for federal aid to schools, and chances are good that the school aid program will pass. The $300,000,000 bill already has passed the senate but was held up in a house committee. It may be that the figure will be increased by house action.
