ROHR TELLS LIONS
OF CONVENTION TRIP

At the regular meeting of the
Marysville Lions Club, Tuesday
evening, Lion president, Henry
Rohr, recounted his experiences
on his recent trip through the
West and his attendance at the
International convention of Lions
Clubs, held in San Francisco. Mr..
Rohr, together with IS other Ohio
Lions, left Chicago on July % on
the Buckeye Special. Although
their trip was planned around the
four days of the Convention, it
also included tours through Carls-
bad CavernS, Hollywood, Glacier
National Park and other we'll
known vacation spots. Mr.. Rohr
returned home on August 8, feel
ing that his vacation had not only
been very profitble to himself,
but to his fellow Lions who were
not privileged to attend the Con-
vention with him.

turned out to the get-together
banquet Friday evening followed
with the reunion Saturday at the
Old Pine church.
More than 10000 belonging to
the national organization, but
they are so scattered throughout
the country it is hard to meet
together at this one place. On
Saturday, the group visited the
grave of John Adam Rausch who
founded the Old Pine church
where the reunion was held.
During the meeting, readings
were given from Walter Rausch,
a teacher, in Hessen Darmstadt,
Germany. A family tree has been
prepared which carries the Rausch
family back to the 1500's when
they were still in Germany.
Those who attended the re-
union from Marysville and Union
county are Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Casper, Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Rausch, Marysville Rt. 2; Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Rausch, w. Eighth ST.,

Two factors conspired to make
the Marysville high school foot
balle7s' opening l947 practice,
Wednesday evening, much
milder workout than Coach Paul
Wenzel had anticipated. They
were the weather and no water
for showers.
Everyone has had enough
weather the past 10 days to men

showers, the plumbing at the
field house on the Fair grounds,
where the team practices, has not
yet been connected.
Therefore, Coach Wenzel had

Wants To Hear Obejections
''If this works hardship on
any school patrons or parents,
want them to feel free to call
me and let me know" Supt. Carr
declared.
This is a tentative arrenge-
ment, adopted by the Board to
correct certain conditions which
have been bad in the past. We
realize, however, that in correct
ing these conditions we may
create other problems equally
bad and we want to know about
them"
"Most certainly" he added,
1--WE do not want parents to keep
silent if they have any COM
plants. The only way problems
can be overcome is for us to
know about them"
Because the first days session
is brief, intended to get classes
organized and give out assign
.mentS, lunches will not be avail
able at school the first day. The
lunch program will begin Sept.
3.

Men and Events

Two weeks ago one would hardly have
expected the emergency European aid bill
to be passed in the Senate by such an
overwhelming majority as that recorded
yesterday
Ninety Senators were present. Eighty
three of them voted to approve the bill in
the full amount-$597 900 900. Only six
votes were cast against it. and it was
announced that the seven absentees would
have voted for the bill had they been on
the floor
A good many OF the Senators who voted
to pass the bill had some misgiving about
It, This is shown by the fact that last week
80 of them voted to cut the amount to
100000 900. But events have been moving
swiftly. The Communists, knowing that
they must act now if they are to have
a chance to act successfully, have exposed
their hand in France and Italy. They have
given the signal for revolution, in fact if
not in name, and it must be clear TO any
one who does not willfully blind himself
to truth that the hour of decision is close
ut hand.
Faced with this all-too- apparent emer-
gency, the Senate has risen to the occasion.
Doubts have been resolved in favor of
action and the temptation to restrict the
scope of action by cutting the fund has
been resisted in the light of the obvious
dangers of such course The effect of
this, wholly aside from the benefits which
will result from the tangible assistance to
be given, should be helpful. For the Eu-
ropean Communists, if they had hoped to
frighten off the Congress, must know now
that they have failed and they must also
know that the resources which this coun-
try has at its disposal are going to be
thrown into the scales against them.
One would be remiss at this time not to
take note of the fine role which Senator
Vandenberg has played in this matter.
Acting as Republican leader for a DEM
ocratic administration, he has been able,
by blending frmneSs with tact and good
humor, to prevail over the doubts of his
party colleagues and an occasional bobble
by the administration. Only those critics
who trade in deliberate dishonesty will
deny that Senator Vandenberg has
emerged from this effort bearing the mark
of craftsmanship in the best sense of that
word. One can only hope that the Re-
publicans in the House, some OF whom
appear not yet to have seen the light, will
profit from his example.

A Step-by-Step Process

In the session 1t has just completed, the
General Assembly of the United Nations
acted more afirmatively than at any time
since its founding. Taken by themselves,
its achievements are memorable, and they
would 90 far toward creating a peaceful
world If all members lived up to them.
The "if" here, however, is big one. OF
the four most important measures
adopted by the Assembly, all have been
threatened with boycott. Thus, Russia
has served notice that it will have nothing
to do with the special commission to pro-
mote the independence of Korea. 1t has
served notice, too, along with its satellites,
that it will ignore both the new Balkan
watchdog" agency and the so-called
Little Assembly" that is to function on
year-round basis as kind Of moral make
weight to the veto-ridden Security Council.
Finally, in the case of Palestine, the Arab
League nations have fatty rejected the
partitioning decision and strongly indi-
Gated that they will resist it with force
These are discouraging facts. They sug-
gest the possibility that the work &C
omplished-though excellent and highly
promising on its face-may be nullif1ed In
large part by the dissenters. Yet even II
the boycott and resistance threats are
carried out some good is bound to come
from the widely publicized decisions and
debates if only to the extent of keeping
the international spotlight on key prob
lens and checking or slowing down ag-
gressive policies like those displayed by
the Soviet satellites in the Balkans. Func-

the smaller nations able to speak up as
well as the big, the Assembly undoubtedly
has made its moral influence felt in way
no power can entirely ignore.
In his closing address as president of
the Assembly, DR.. Aranha of Brazil had
good advice to offer to the too easily dis
couraged The Assembly, he said, served
effectively as "a searching of world con-
science through the conscience of each
and all of the members of the United
Nations" 1t laid bare the struggles, the
divergencies, the misgivings, the rivalries
that beset the world today"-issues and
differences of such long standing that they
call for "a slow evolutionary progress
rather than abrupt decision" In DR..
Aranhas opinion the Assembly's second
session contributed Importantly to that
kind of progress, and the record supports
him.
The peace, after all, cannot be achieved
In a hurry. 1t will have to come step by
STEP falteringly. In DR.. Aranha's words, it
calls for continued faith, foresight and
patient labor Up to now, for all its ten
sion, the postwar period has not been
marked by armed conflicts like those fol-
lowing the First World War That is a
hopeful fact. The United Nations

fundamentally all men and women, but
they also had q touch-the Lubitsch-of
Cinderella and Prince Charming.
It was as if the German director, brought
here in 1918, held up mirror, not to life,
but deftly to the human heart and caught
something of the image Of its eternal hope
for romantic love.
In making the movie millions happy, it
brought them escape which may well be
the highest destiny the screen need aspire
to today.
