RARIANT LIVING
THE AIM AT THE CENTER
~ hKV c. al GRsFEExH
Pastor Methodist church, Ceeiiton. Nd.

They tell US that in the center Of a
hurricane there is an area Of calm,
And we might say that this is true
in regard to the storms Of daily liv-
ing. IN the midst of the furious
storms that burst upon us there is a
center of calm. And that center OF
calm is the center of Gods will
That is to say that when any crisis
of trouble breaks upon you. it is
possible for you to reach a place of
ealmness. It is such a place Of calm
that although the fury may rage
around you, yet somehow you will
be held in quietness and in a sere-
nifty.
This place Of calmness is a spirit
ual attainment It is reaching the
place where you can truly and sim
cerely pray mot my will, but Thine
be done When you honestly breathe
such a prayer as this you will find
that your soul is entering into a
strange but real state OF calm.
Jesus knew what it was to be
overwhelmed by the tempest Who
can imagine the fury of the gale
that bore down upon Him in Gethse-
name? It Frustrated Him to the
ground in prayer. II was in the
midst of that violent storm that
broke upon Him that He placed His
will into that of the Fathers. And
as a result He entered into a calm of
strength that carried Him through
the terrors and agonies of Calvary
with a poise of a Master.
In the center of Gods will there
is a marvellous mastery.
In describing that unexplainable
peace that prevails in the center of /
Gods will, one has said: Il closed my
eyes uron all created things and |
sunk into a divine repose in which
Ill clamorous desires were silenced
and my mind lost itself in the depths
Of God"

 | (ChicagO Tribune Press Service)
 New York, Nov. 19-Locked in a bitter controversy with National Broadcasting company and Colum- bia Broadcasting system over how much should be paid for their mu- sic, the counrty's leading songwrit- CTS are accusing the big radio chains of building a monopoly. The accuSers, the American Soci- ety, of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, better known as ASCAP, are asking the ladio networks and individual stations to sign. a new contract for blanket license to play any of ASCAP's 30O,OOO copy lighted songs. ASCAP has been sup- plying about 30 per cent of all radio music. In tho past it was the individual stations that footed the entire bill I-$4,142, 900 last year. Now ASCAP proposes to bring in the networks for the first time and tax them 71s per cent of their gross income. They don't like it one little bit. So radio is going to boycott ASCAP.
 At the expiration of the old con- tract on Dec. 31 most of the familiar and best loved melodies will be banned from the air. The networks and majority of the stations have formed their own musical supply house, Broadcast Music, Inc. BMI is feveriShly turning out compost tionS running the gamut all the way from swing to hymn in a tremen- dous effort to fill the gap.
 Charges of Monopoly
 John Paine, general manager of ASCAP, says of BMI:
 Tt is generated and motivated by the determination on the part of certain current leaders in the radio industry to forge the last element in the complete monopolistic con- trol of radio by the chains. How much of monopoly are NEG and CBS.
 Measured by dollars, National and Columbia enjoyed a net operating income Of $9,277,352 during 1938 or nearly half of the $18,854, ,784 taken in by all the 660 standard stations and networks. These two chains control through contract 85 per cent of the dollar volume of the radio broadcasting business.
 Federal Commissions Findings
 Practices of NEG and CBS were investigated by a special committee of the Federal Communications commission. Last June the commit tee reported an unacceptable con- clusion" as follows:
 National and Columbia, directed by few men, hold g powerful in- fluence over the public domain of the. air and measurably control ra- dio communication to the people of the United States. If freedom of communication is one of the pre- cious possessions of the American people, such condition is not thought by the committee to be in

the public interest and presents in- herent danger to the welfare of 3 country whre democratic processes prevail" FIT
 The committee found the two chains were favoring stations they < had owned or controlled to the detri- ment of other stations with which they had contracts. A total of $50 sationS are hooked up on the two chains. NEG and CBS were accused of resorting to arbitrary and in- equitable practices" with their affil- lated stations.
 Control g Stations
 It was pointed out the two chains owned or controlled g stations, oi which IS were 50 kilowatt, unlimited time, clear channel outlets. These 8 stations obtained .one-sixth of the total time sales for all 660 stations during 1888. While the 31O stations not on the two chians lost $149,000 in 1888, the g network stations had net operating income of $4,985, ,289
 Criticism was directed at NEG and CBS for preventing affiliated stations from accepting programs from other networks, thus depriv- ing them of profitable business and the listening public of desirable programs. A case cited by the com- mittee was the refusal of the chains to allow their affiliated stations to carry the 1889 worlds series broad cast, for which the Mutual network had bought the rights.
 Mutual Is Upheld
 Mutual'S practices were distin- guished from those of NEG and CBS by the committee. Mutual took no options on the time of stations. While the Mutual sold commercial program time to advertising agen- cies, the stations serving as Mutual outlets also had the privilege of selling newtork time, sharing com missions with Mutual Finally, Mu- tual as Q network had no program producing facilities.
 On the other hand, NEG and CBS had strangle hold on radio talent, according to the committee, having placed about 800 of the best known artists in the broadcast and concert field under exclusive contract
 In addition, NBC,s affiliate in Radio Corporation of America, the R. c. A. Manufacturing company, sells two-fifths of the electrical transcriptions which are used on 8 fourth of all radio programs. Both chains have affiliated record com- panies in Victor and Columbia. In- dependent recording concerns have howled that the two companies are slashing record prices to put them out of business.

From The
 Power League
DOWN OFF THE LIMB

Answering frantic s. O. s. appeals from Station LIMB, Jack Kearney was rushed with all possible haste to the assistance of Lefty who dis covered that the mems league not only was willing to accept the defy he broadsided in his colum but much to his amazement was extremely willing to back it's team with much of the real folding material he referred to as "oday".
 "The bag is getting real heavy, Jack" said Lefty from his perch on the limb. If you will hold it for, awhile perhaps those guys I stirred up will quiet down. If the worst comes to the worst,' continued the doughty one, maybe we can hold them down to couple of iron men apiece"
 Some excellent bowling was on tap last week as six teams were well over the 1900 mark. With a little more luck the Dispatchers would have set up an all time league rec ord without a handicap.
 Frank Byrnes who has re-entered league competition celebrated by rolling 390 for his three games which is the best individual effort in the league this year.
 In connection with the attendance only one word is necessary to sum it up-Excellent.
 One of the best matches listed his week is the one between Well fare and Sales B. Both are right up there in the standing.
 To- Jack Roberts we are asking about that hook ball Frank Synott invented last year.
 Frank Byrnes will represent the he-men'S league when the arrange mentS are being made for the match with the Mixed League whose emis- sary we understand viii be Jack Kearney. Frank is an experienced negotiator so the interests of the Mems league are Ill capaple nanQS.
 Xmas Party
 The Bowling Committee has ar- ranged an Xmas party for the mem berS of the league to be held while the games are in progress Friday night. Space has been set aside by the management of the alleys es- pecially equipped for an affair of this nature. Refreshments will be at the disposal of the bowlerSr ala cafeteria.
 In order that the games will run off according to schedule the com- mittee has arranged to have each bowler roll off five boxes at each turn which procedure worked out so satisfactorily last year under the same conditions.
 We wish all a MERRY XMAS in- cluding the Sports Editor of this pa per who has so willingly assisted in publishing the happenings of this league each week.
