SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH
Preaching a very splendid ser
mon to the Shiloh congregation
last Sunday was an old time
favoIite Rev. Kay, pastor of the
Community Church Of Yonkers.
New York, and his Sabbath mes
sage was an inspiration to all
present. Scheduled to speak
was a local lad of Maiden, Mass,
Rev. Arthur Whitaker, but he
was unable to do so due to pre-
vious commitments, but Rev
Kay filled the breach very ably
Don't forget the Miss Shiloh"
contest now in progress and all
must consider 1t a duty to con-
tribute towards this fine effort.
Chairma nof this unique idea is

fellows. The boys gave a party
last Friday to their many friends
Of Boston and vicinity and it
really was iam-up affair from
the lawn party to an indoor
dance and finally breaking up
in the wee small hours at the
homes of friends. Yes, the

it looks as If things will def
nitely enliven and we, the voters
of this ward, should weigh the
pro and con of these candidates
and not forget what has been
done for us in the past. Vote
for the man who has proven
himself by the deeds he has done
not the deeds he has promised.
Mr.. COLUMBUS Etheridge Of Je-
rome st. Is seeking the Repub-
lican nomination as alderman
from this ward and, of course,
1t is up to US, the voters, to sup
port those who choose to run
from this community. Also run
ming this year are two perennial
favoriteS of this community in
the persons of Atty Bradley
Howes and Rep Frederick Nc
Dermott and both of these are
good men who have always re-
membered us at least more so
than some in power right now.
Well, the petition with the Sig
natures of 1908 registered vot-
erS of Medford, who signed the
petition for Plan E form of
municipal government, will be
presented to the Medford Board
of Aldermen for approval and
it is expected to be placed as
a referendum on the November
ballot. Remember, with a city
manager type of government the
overall overhead is reduced and
less political gravy jobs means
lower taxes for the John Pub
lie. Vote YES on this question.
THIS AND THAT: Well, Arm
EFT Cobb, sensational sax man
and his fast moving sextette,
have left a Boston nitery, but
they have a world of followers
and this combo headed by a
former Lionel Hampton star Of
Flying Home fame Is fast be-
ing acknowledged as the biggest
little band of the year and their
! past performances had the Milky
Way patrons rocking and reedng
with applause. They were real
ly great. Boston viii return to

he'll keep up the mad pace set

Caution Is The WatchwOrd

Although government controls over in
stallment buying will end next Saturday,
this is no time for a national spree OF
"easy credit"
That opinion is we'll substantiated by all
familiar with today's business conditions.
In fact the Federal Reserve board has
suggested that individual firms maintained
the same controls the government has
been enforcing.
Appied to automobiles. washing ma
chimes, refrigerators and other ma
ior household appliances, the federal con-
trolls require in general one-thlrd down
payment and the remainder within 10
months. That they have been worth their
while in preventing unwise installment
buying goes without saying. They have
kept many enjoying abnormal purchasing
power during the war and postwar years,
from wrecking their budgets by failing to
realize that the future may not be as lush
as the present.
It must also be remembered that de-
mand for automobiles and many other
goods covered in the control regulations
is still far ahead of the supply. And easy
credit will not add to this supply. It will
instead only intensity demand and ac-
centuate the upward pressure on prices
Therefore, we believe that easy terms
should wait a time when growth of credit
is essential to maintain full production.
That this time has not arrived and is
not in immediate prospect is the opinion
| If tbo Eo6oro1 hoard IT added
that in the face of shortages of goods
and the controls in effect, the volume of
installment buying has grown by more
than $4,000, ,000,0 since the end of the
war.
Would the removal of all restraint now
rush this figure upward at a rate dan
gerous to our general economy?
| We believe it would.
The past has shown that rapid and ex-
cessive expansion of "easy credit" is usu-
ally followed by a sharp economic de-
cline. After next Saturday, the situation
becomes one in which the nations mer-
chants and money lenders will hold com
plete authority. For them to abuse it
would be to inflict a large segment OF
the public, as well as themselves, to dan
gers which may appear quite small now
but could become tremendously grave in
the space of even a year.
Caution, with notice to such warnings
as those issued by the Federal Reserve
board as well as past experience should
be the watchword of all for installment
buying within the next few months.

Two Important Trains

The 'Train of Friendship" which will
operate from coast to coast to collect food
gifts for hungry Europeans is an excel
lent means of providing an expression OF
Americans sympathy and willingness to
assist the less fortunate overseas.
But it must be looked upon as a
practical means of relieving the European
food shortage.
To the mistake of doing the latter
would in the long run. damage this coun-
try's efforts to help tide Western Europe
through the winter months.
There's an interesting parallel between
it and the ''Freedom Train.''
The latter which began its nationwide
tour several days ago, provides all Aneri-
cans an excellent opportunity to renew
their interest in their historical heritage
But its priceless documents are totally
without meaning unless the privileges and
freedoms they represent are maintained
as a part of our daily lives
So it is with the ''Train of Friendship -
1t would be good for every community,
no matter whether large or small, to con-
tribute something. In doing so, it displays
its attitude toward European relief But
this spirit must be made material thing,
through the conservation of foods on the
basis of millions of tons if we are to
really help Europe and, in doing so. curb
the menace of Communism to the demo-
cratic system of government.
Both trains, as expressions of national
sentiment, have an important part in our
life today. And by according them the
welcomes they deserve, we will not only
be better Americans in our own estimation
but IN the eyes Of the remainder of the
world.

Soviet Maneuyer Fails

Russia has failed in her efforts to have
the United Nations condemn" the United
States, Greece and Turkey for alleged
'warmongering."
Such conclusion to her maneuver' was
expected. ...,,
The reason is quite simple
To challenge the imperialistic aims of
an ideology alien to ones own is not war
mongering. 1t is simply self protection.
But the Communists, as they strengthen
their hold on eastern Europe, are attempt
ing to impress the world with the utterly
false fact that it is others who are re-
sponsible for todays. talk of war.
Yet, it was Russia herself who began
this business And the results have boom
eranged. 1t has made the remainder of
the world more alert, with greater thought
to permanent preparedness, than if Mos
cow had remained quiet
To the Soviet Union can be charged the
great change that has come over the Ian
guage of diplomacy.
Bluntness, as Edward T. Folliard
pointed out in recent issue of Nations
Business, has taken the place of oblique
ness. The Russian Communists, always
great ones for epithets and severe words
in their Stalinist-Trotskyite quarrels, have
brought their tough talk into the worle

Should Run Again

Democrats Of North Carolina's Ninth
congressional district staged a rally at
Statesville Saturday afternoon to paw
glowing tribute to Rep. Robert L. DOUGH-
ton and most of them hoped the grand
old man would indicate whether he would
be candidate again in 1948.
But he didn't drop a hint either wav.
Perhaps, after serving 81 years in the
lower House, he's getting rather tired, But
despite his years, he's still going strong
and is a young man in thought, spirit
and action. Rep. Doughton is such credit
to his district, state and nation that manv
North Carolinians join those of his district
in hoping that he will see fit to again
ask re-election-he has not been refused
since his first race in 19l0-and return to
Washington as one of the nations most
experienced and strongest representatives
That there is real need for more men
of his caliber in the House is especially
true at times such as today when the
administration must frequently call on
their legislative resources to effect its do
mestic and foreign policy aims.

too
That Russia has failed to mis1ead the
United Nations is quite evident.
But she will continue to use the assem-
bly, as good sounding board against all
who challenge the imposition of Commu-
nism upon those who do not want it.
Many believe, and we agree, that this is
one of the principal reasons the Soviet
Union will remain in this family of ma

tunity of saying her pieces, and in vio-
lent language, too. But it is good to see

The Greatest Heroes Return

Words are feeble in expressing the deep
spirit of honored gratitude every Amer1-
can should feel for the nations silent and
greatest heroes who returned home for
their final rest aboard the S. S. Joseph V.
Connolly during the weekend.
There were no cheers or spirited bands
as 5000 marchers followed the first casket
up Fifth avenue Sunday.
There were only the roll OF mutt]ed
drums and the sobs of those mothers
whose sons have finally returned.
The heroism of these men, and those
who will follow them later, was so com
plete that there are few suitable oppor-
tunities of paying them the honor due
for the supreme sacrifice they made
against tyranny Yet as each is taken
towards a hero's grave in his homeland
tho occasion is one of deep significance
and demands the most serious thinking
bv all who live the life they died to pre-
serve
It is not the first time heroes have re-
turned home as they have.
But will it be the last?
TODAY, this and other nations are en-
gagged in the long and difficult task OF es-
tablishing permanent peace. There are
many differences and much wranging-it
appears almost continuous at times-and
there are charges and countercharges. The
failure of all to progress toward even
chart for peace is disheartening. Yet, II
lust one of the $3.50 men who came back
aboard the S. S. Joseph v Connolly could
speak, his voice would ring clearly above
all others in a simple appeal for new,
spiritual determination to abolish war.
It is these men, more than any others,
who know the full meaning of war.
And while the living enjoy today's peace,
the finest appreciation they could express
towards these and all others who died in
battle would be a greater effort than ever
to see that they did not perish in valr:
but that the sacrifices they made were
for all time The torch they carried for
ward before they fell in the eternal fight
for freedom must become a permanent
light throughout the world. If it does not,
then it is us, the living, and not they,
the dead, who failed.

Democrats For Ike
BY PETER EDISON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 Re-
publican "Eisenhower-for-Presi
dent" booms now have Demo-
cratic politicians genuinely wor-
ried.
AS a result, few young Dem
ocrats of the New Deal persua-
sion here in Washington have
been toying with the idea of
trying to persuade General Ike
to declare himself a Democrat.
Whether he does or not, they
are looking around for hackers
to launch boom to make
Eisenhower the Democratic can
didate for President in 1946.
The way these Democrats fig
ure it, Eisenhower could be lect-
ed President hands down,
no matter what ticket he ran
on.
If he ran as Republican, a
lot of Republican candidates for
Congress would ride along to
victory on his coat-tails. That
would mean that the present
slim Republican majorities in
Congress would be made bigger.
The way these Democrats fig
ure it, Eisenhower could be elect
become the captive of this con-
servative Republican majori-
ty in Congress and he would
have little if anything to say
about policies.
On the other hand, say the
Democratic schemers in launch
ing their trial balloon, if Eisen-
hover ran as a Democrat he
could unite the Northern and
Southern factions of the party.
He could also carry along
enough of the Democratic can
didates for Congress to upset the
present Republican majorities.
Their theory is that as Demo-
cratic President, Eisenhower
would have a chance to
become the real leader of the
party.
There is of course one great
big hitch in this political pipe
dream.
Harry Truman would have to
be persuaded to step aside.
It is a political tradition that
every first term President, as
the party's leader, has the right
to succeed himself. But the New
Dealers who fear Republican
sweep in 1948 unless drastic
measures are taken now, ad-
vance the argument that Tru-
man isn't too happy in the White
House. They think he would
gladly step aside if stronger
candidate presented himself.
To the liberal wing of the
Democratic party, which isn't
any too hot for Truman any,
way, an Eisenhower boom Of
fers the best opportunity to ditch
the man now in the White
House.
