| Harry Harris knows more abou,
milk, cream, cheese and 80 on than
any man we ever heard talk. While
we think of it, we feel that II some
of the Morgan county farmers in
stitute committees have Mr.. Harris
on their program, it would be
benefit to the milk producers, the
| Pickerington company, and butter
and cheese consumers We feel II
was a pleasure to be paid for riding
with man like Harry Harris.
Mrs. Carpenters Funeral
The funeral of Mrs. Gerald Car
penter (Helen Ray was held Fri
| day. as announced in last week
| Democrat. From the time word
came of her critical condition,
neighbors and friends f1ocked to the
| Ray home-then when the hour ar
| rived for the service the auditor
| ium of Main Street church was
| taxed beyond capacity. Rev. John
| Goddard who has been nelghbor
| and friend of the Rays since be-
| fore the birth of Helen, conducted
| the services. assisted by Rev. d. G.
| Holman, pastor of the Main Street
church, who read the scripture and
! offered prayer. Rev. Goddard used
as the theme of his sermon eulogy,
| Love" He read the hymn abide
| With Me-" and in conclusion gave
Tennyson poem, ""Crossing the
Bar The floral offerings were
| many and beautiful-in all there
were more than fifty pieces. Pail
bearers were Lawrence Pennell,
James Finley, Reverdy Harris, Mer-
rell Carpenter, Louis Strong and
Dee Ray. Those from distance at
the funeral were: Leonard Young,
Ed Young, daughter Hope, and Rob
ert Hunter, Zanesville; Mrs. Earl
Lautzenheiser, Strasburg; Mrs. Her
schel Garrett, Summerfield; Mrs.
Woodie Rutherford, Miss Ella Lee
Ray, Sarahsville; Paul Ray and
Mrs. Dale Ray, Barberton. 1t seems
to us that life is peculiar. When
We come to occasions of this KIND,
we mourn while Helen is rejoicing
with loved ones gone before. Whlle
We do not believe in cards of thanks,
we know the mother, husband,
brothers and sisters have not words
to tell you their appreciation Tor
what you have done, and been to
them, through the trying hours.
We receive many letters from
friends and readers of our section;
most of them are at home attend
ing to their own business, and per
haps "nibbing in" IN little on their
neighbors. Here is q clipping sent
us by friend who is an inmate OF
an insane hospital Read it and
wonder with US about the human
brain. Let us tell you that this
letter came through without a type
written address:
Warming Up In The Bullpen
To the Editor of The Times; -
For 20 years, Americans listened to
politicians smugly preaching a doc
trine of isolation, and believed sin
cerely that they were right. That
they We're wrong, tragically wrong,
is being demonstrated hourly by
news reports coming from the war
zones.
There are still a few who cling
stubbornly to the erroneous isola-
ZIONIST theory, and these few are
today Americas greatest menace.
Events happening anywhere in the
world are of vital concern to US,
and directly or indirectly affect our
way of life.
The world depression should have
awakened us to this fact. 1t didn't,
and today we are facing catastrophe.
If Hitler downs England, the least
we can hope for is economic stran-
gulation.
To use baseball parlance, Britain
and the U. s. are hOldouts too long.
For months England has been IN
there pitching and we have been IN
the bullpen warming up. because
the British reported to camp fat ana
out of condition, they are falterlng,
and a relief pitcher is needed.
Whether we like it or not, we
are slated for that relief role 1t
anyone doubts this, let him read
"Mein Kampf," or some Of the
TRADES Hitler calls speeches.
When our turn comes, may God
help us if we don't start putting
more on the ball than we have In
the past--Royce Fields, Ports
mouth, 0.
Black Or Red Will DO
We notice the condition OF the
GAINESVILLE pocket book. We have
noticed how some of the paper up
there have been worried about the
national debt, and our children. 1t
seems to us in the GAINESVILLE case
should be spelled "Our Children"
Until GAINESVILLE gets to the place
where they can show a nickel on
the east side Of a north and south
line, their news writers should
wear crepe on their pencils.
A little sprinkle is needed badly
here The ground is dried and
cracked in the pasture and meadow
fields-and we got it Sunday even
ing.
We had an appointment with Mr.
Finley at the Drury home Saturday.
When we arrived we found him
soundly sleeping. Knowing sleep
would do him more good than what
we could tell him-and hoping to
see him again, we did not awaken
him. Whether he was dreaming of
sunflowers-or the widow OH the
corner, we couldn't tell, as his
breathing was quiet and regular.

daughter Doris Lucille, Springfield,

relatives and friends here.
Homer Gerlach showed US some
oats which measured so inches in

this season, at least.
