RADIANT LIVING
KIMBERLEY DIAMONDS
~ g1ax c. NJ. tsriHeth
E4etef Ridae3y n. .. Church
Ridgely, Nd.


The colonists who went to South
Africa and settled as farmers in the
region Of Kimberley grew very dis
heartened over their lot. They found
the soil so poor and rocky that they
could raise but the smallest Of crops.
Only the children seemed 10 have
a good time. They were amusing
themselves by throwing at each
other the peculiar stones that lay
around everywhere.
Many farmers left the region.
Those who stayed died in poverty.
Yet all the while, those peculiar
stones with which the children play
ed were huge diamonds in the rough,
while under their novels lay
wealth that was too vast even to esti-
mate!
Had they only been able to recog-
nize this wealth!
Like those Kimberley farmers, we
too are living surrounded by an inn
mense wealth of which we are not
aware.
speak of the wealth OF the spirit
ual realm--that wealth which, when
you possess it, gives you the ability
to sing in the midst of pain. II is a
wealth which enables you to see the
sun still shining through drenching |
rain.
! speak of that wealth which en-
lbles you to be in conscious harmony /
with the Infinite God of Love, a love
which makes your heart radiant and
your life serene.
There is wealth in the spiritual
calm. And it is free for the taking!
( will make our life richer than if
-Ou had all the Kimberley diamonds!

CENSUS OR sENsELEss
By ]. 3. JONES

Amid all the big troubles Of Gey-
ernment a hot battle Of minor mn
pOrtance has broken out IN Wash
ington. Congressional crusaders are
demanding changes on the 1870 CEN
sus questions. Senators and Repre-
ssntatives attack some of'thoss ques-
tons about The lives Of ls0 million
people as ainYasions OF privaey" ana
declare that hundreds of thousands
OF persons regardless Of their politi-
cal parties are mad-as-hatters over
Of their rights Of privacy.
As soon as the President got nome
from his recent vacation he defended
the list OF questions that had been
by the Census Bureau and
said that the opposition was just
Milford chronicle., 1940-03-15

''poIitics."
The main objection that comes
from many sources is that the ques-
tions are "senseless" AS an Ainva-
sion OF privacy" it may be observed
that they do not go any further in
prying into the lives Of the people
than questions asked in previous
enumerations OF the American peo-
ple. The understanding exists in
side OF well-informed Official circles
in washington that you do not need
10 answer all these questions of the
census-takers II TOR good reasons
you find part Of them objectionable
in your particular case.
The whole fuss doesn't amount to
very much and there is no reason to
get excited over this little tempest

FROM CONGRESSMAN
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS

SEVEN YEARS OF THE NEW
DEAL.-On March this country
ended the seventh year under Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration and
the New Deal. II is inevitable that
a program as liberal as RoOsevelt's
should arouse vigorous opposition.
Friends of the administration point
to some of the major milestones such
as the Social Security plan, the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, the Wage
and Hour law, the farm program and
the generous appropriations for re-
lief. Opponents, on the other hand,
point to the tremendously heavy ma
tional debt; the greatly augmented
executive power and federal bureau
cracy has reused serious concern
for the balance of power between
the executive, legislative and judicial
branches of our democratic govern
ment, and the estimated aggregate of
100000 persons unemployed is not
much below what 1t was at the be-
ginning of the new deal. Party lead
ers took advantage of the anniver-
sary date to air their views of the
seven years just past. The new deals
record was praised on the floor of the
Senate by Albin W. Barkley of Ken
lucky, Democratic majority leader.
He recalled the economic distress
and social unrest which prevailed
when Mr.. Roosevelt was inaugurated
and detailed the steps which, he !
said, have provided relief, promoted |
social security and aided recovery. |
Conscious of the fact that the cen
tral Republican criticism of the new !
deal is that unemployment is higher
today than it was ten years ago,
Senator Barkley admitted that his
party has no comprehensive solution
to the problem and contended that
nobody else had either. Senator
Charles L. McNary of Oregon, Re-
publican leader in the Senate retail
lated with the statement that seven
years of new deal leave our major
national problem of unemployment
unsolved, our farmers without
either sufficient markets or satisfac-
tory prices, and our heavy industries
in stagnation, our business enter
prise in strait-jacket and the ranks
of organized labor in the throes of
internal strife. However, the record
Of the past seven years contains
much that will endure, along with
a great deal that must be corrected |,
or improved. Whether for better or
worse, the United States will never
again be the same as it was before
the Roosevelt administration.
Milford chronicle., 1940-03-15

THE HATCH BILL.-At the first
session of this Congress, both houses
passed and the President signed the
Hatch bill. which forbade undue po-
litical activity on the part of fed
eral employees. Senator Hatch
(Dem.) of New Mexico recently in
troduced a new bill in order to elimi-
nate an unwarranted discrimination
between federal employees and other
public servants paid wholly or in
part from federal funds. The new
Hatch bill precludes state employees,
who are paid in part by federal
funds, from taking an active part in
political campaigns After a bitter
fight among the Democratic senators
lasting several days, in which Re-
publicans have taken no active part,
the bill is scheduled to come up for
a final vote on Friday, March 8.
President Roosevelt has already CIV
en- his blessing" to the bill and
others contend that every argument |
used to support the original Hatch |
bill can also be applied to the pres
ent bill. If passed, the bill will ef- |
feet approximately 250,O0O employees |
in states who are paid in whole or !
in part out Of federal funds, includ-
ing Social Security employees and
state highway employees. where the
states accept federal aid for high
ways. Several amendments have
been offered and defeated by a very
narrow margin which if passed
would have weakened the bill to such
an extent that merely worthless
she'll would have been left.

THE 1910 CENSUS. = After a
stormy career in the House last
week, the S5,OOO,0OO appropriation
bill for the taking of the 1910 census
went to the Commerce Committee
Of the Senate. The subcommittee
considering this bill has favorabIy
reported a resolution designed to
forestall census-takers from asking
people how much money they make.
This resolution will be voted on by
the full committee sometime next
week, and they will be reported to
the Senate for consideration. Vigor-
GUS protests against questions to be
asked by the census-takers are still
pouring in to senators and represen-
tatiVes from their constituents.
President Roosevelt says that the
opposition to these questions "is an
obvious political move. Everybody
connected with Congress knows that
is the motive" Senator Tobey, Re-
publican of New Hampshire, leader
Of the Congressional fight against
questions which might be construed
as an invasion Of privacy" declares
that "the President has lodged the
real issue and creates a smoke
screen to cover it up" The TObey
resolution if adopted, would not
have the status of law, but would
merely put the Senate on record.
However, if the resolution is adopted
the Department of Commerce would
probably delete some of the ques- |
tions so strenuOusly objected to by
citizens.
