For another thing, the spirit of volunteer
service which is the foundation of the
National Guard, is in the very best tradition
of our American way of life. Very probably
our historic preference for doing a job volun
tarily before it is forced upon us, without
choice, accounts for much of our strength
as a Nation.
The success of the voluntary approach
to matters military is forcefully illustrated
by the fact that the National Guard, with
voluntary service as its keystone, is the

FORMULA FOR SURVIVAL
Some years ago in this column, just prior to
America's entry into World War II, I refuted the
charge made by many individuals that the world
writhed in the agony of war because religion had
failed mankind. Rather, I entered a counter
charge that mankind had failed religion.
The world (the U. S. A. included) had been
following after gods that were not gods it had
been exalting intellect and science to a divine
position, with a false confidence that a scientific
ally and technically efficient world would auto
matically be a good and moral world. The gods
of totalitarianism were the answer to the world's
vaingloriousness.
At that
time those false gods threatened
destroy man who had so umvisely created them.
Those false gods still threaten civilization and
only a revival of sound ethical religion can bring
about an enduring world peace. Man-made gov
ernments, and the man-made United Nations,
by
themselves cannot accomplish that ideal condition
for which the non-communist world
so
clamors.
In seeking a definition as to what constitutes
sound ethical religion that would be acceptable
to Jews, Protestants and Catholics alike, I wrote:
"Sound ethical religion is any code of prin
ciples and rules of conduct based on man's
recognition of Go'd as the Supreme Being, the
Author of Life and Creator of all things—of God
to whom man is accountable for the constructive
or destructive use he makes of his life—of God
with whom he finally hopes to be united in Eter
nity as a reward for making the proper use
of
his life—of God from whom he may be forever
separated as punishment for failure to properly
exploit his opportunities."
Subsequent to the appearance of that defini­

ONG Recruiting Program
On February 22, the Ambulance Com
pany, National Guard Unit of Noble county,
is to hold an intensive one-day recruiting
campaign. Its purpose is increasing the
strength of the National Guard to help take
up the slack caused by reduction of our
military forces. This makes sense on several
counts. For one thing, it's good economics.
A large and strong National Guard, com
posed of volunteer citizen-soldiers, is about
the most in the way of defense we can get
for our money. Guardsmen give their coun
try much more in protection than they ever
receive in dollars.

In sessions of the Ohio Newspaper As
sociation convention recently in Columbus,
the weeklies of the State took part in the
annual Osman C. Hooper newspaper show.
The Ohio newspapers entered were
judged on various classes such as news cov
erage, ladies news, sport news, special
editions, editorials, make-up, advertising,
etc., and those judged the best were awarded
certificates by the association.
This keen competition among the week
lies has over the years inspired publishers
and editors to consistently offer a top news
paper to the readers. Very special interest
and ideas have been incorporated into their
issues, as they match their ability to publish
er a better newspaper than their publisher
friends.
As a result Ohio today takes their hat
off to no one in the weekly field, for here
in Ohio you will find the best weekly news

the affairs of his own county and others in

oldest military organization in our Nation.
Its history dates back over more than 300
years, well before the Revolutionary War.
And from the Revolution on, Guardsmen
have fought for their country in every con
flict in which it was engaged.
The peacetime service of the National
Guard is also impressive. We know of its
work in time of emergency and disaster in
this state. The Guard served valiantly, too,
at the San Francisco earthquake, the Gales
ton and Johnstown floods, at Texas City, in
hurricanes on the East Coast, blizzards in
the Plains States. The list is long.
Now, at the request of Congress, and to
meet a need for the particular kind of service
which only the National Guard can offer,
the Guard must increase its strength.
Appropriately, the day chosen for its big
recruitment drive falls on the birthday
anniversary of the founder of our Nation.
Thus is symbolized, if a symbol is needed,
the essential character of the National Guard
in the affairs of our country. Its coming
campaign deserves our support.

column so uncontroversial that no one could
quarrel with it.
Since the end of World War II there has been
a great revival of religion in this nation. This is
reflected by greatly increased church and syna
gogue membership and attendance. But we have
gone only part way on the journey. If the day
ever comes when an overwhelming majority here
in America, is guided by such a religion as defined
above, we can expect this majority to elect law
makers who will enact good laws and see to it
that they are enforced. As an honest God-fearing
and God-loving people—a people of courage and
internal good-will, this nation externally would
act with good-will toward other nations. We
would set such a shining example that other
nations would be influenced thereby—something
that the billions of dollars we have strewn around
the world has failed to accomplish.
During the past quarter century, the youth
of
America developed in an irreverent and
irreligious atmosphere. Our children were not
taught the glories of the Golden Rule. We could
not expect them to develop a love of God, when
so many parents neglected their own religious
duties.
Religious had not failed America—America
had failed religion—it had turned away from
God. It is encouraging to know that our churches,
synagogues and other "places of holy worship
are now playing a larger role in the American
scheme of things. But we must get more and more
people back into those places of worship, more

Supporting Big Farms
There is no end to American
ingenuity, whether it be to live
by the sweat of the brow or by
finding someway to benefit from
shortcomings of the law.
The support of farm prices was
intended to assist the individual
farmers and to holp them im
prove their purchasing power.
Benefits have gone astray and
while they have added a dollar
or two to the dwindling income
of the farmer of south-eastern
Ohio, the major portion has gone
to huge agricultural corporations
and wealthy landed gentry. Price
supports upon their thousands
and thousands of bushels have
only whetted their desire to raise
more to increase the already
bulging surplus and depress the
price of the commodity all the
more.
It is positively shocking to
learn of the size of some of these
farm loans. A wheat farmer in
California obtained loans on
wheat in the amount, of $119,000
and the average loan for the
State was $8,516. A farmer in
Kansas received $146,000. In Mon
tana the top loan was $403,000. In
many other states the loans were
in the neighborhood of $100,000.
In other cases, support payments
of some crops to huge farm enter
prises have been more than three
quarters of a million dollar in one
year.
My purpose in citing these fig
ures is to show that a ceiling
needs to be placed upon these
benefits, so that when they are
paid they should assist the fam
ily-size farmer rather than the
corporate enterprise. Then we
may begin to return sanity to a
proposition which was designed
to help the farmer but which,
through tending to increase sur
passes and depress prices, has
made their plight worse.

A Scientific Marvel
Dear Editor:
While in Marietta the other day
I
drive over and see his man.
went into
booth in one of the hotels to make a call. I had on my heavy
overcoat and as the box was about two foot square I found that
I could not move in the place as I am about two foot across the
shoulders. Got out of there by the skin of my teeth.
Removed my overcoat. Crawled back into the rabbit box again.
In so doing I dropped my hat but could not bend down and get
it so had to go out again and reach in and pick it up. Got back in the
cage again. Two telephone books were chained fast to a large bolt
in the box. The chain was six inches shorter than it should be.
The book I wanted was chained at the bottom of the other one.
I tried to flop the first one under the second one but got the chain
tangled and could not open eith-er book. A last desperate effort
I got hold of the book I wanted. Could not get it up where it
would open just so 1 could peak inside of it.
I sort of squirmed around, pulled in my tummy, crossed my
legs and got in a fix that gave me a cramp in my side, but I at
least got' the book open. Thumrrved and thummed and learned
the A C's over again. At last I came to the page only it wasn't
there. Some number collector had torn it out. I was getting ter
ribly hot in the incubator by this time and the two by two fan
wasn't working. I called the operator and asked for the number
after twisting myself into a dozen different shapes to find a dime.
