What Is A Mission?

Asked to explain the purpose of Mission, Father Suver said: "A Mission is a time of spiritual inventory, time during which we may study our lives in order that, learning from our own ex- periences, we may better ourselves. Life is a serious business. And just as successful businessman often takes in- ventory so too is it necessary for those who would be successful spiritually"

THE PRICE OF FOOD

Consumers particularly those who live in Cities and
who perorce must buy nearly all the of life have
been anticipating for many months drop in the
To date these expectations have been realized to
any great extent Retail food prices have dropped
per cent since late last in the face of bumper SUD-
plies of nearly every kind of agricultural product
The average individual is almost completely unaware
of the scope and extent of federal legislation that tends
prevent the ordinary forces supply from being fully
fected in the agricultural price level.
For instance the price of milk in the larger cities
controlled by the marketing orders issued by the Dairy
branch OF the production and marketing administration
the United States Department of Agriculture
This is also true in the egg market The Commodity
Credit Corporation is actively supporting the market
through the purchase of dried and frozen eggs to insure the
farmers of fair return The federal agency is buy
ing carloads of butter every week and placing sor
age to keep the price at predetermined level
1t is the with wheat corn Irish potatoes sweet
potatoes dried apples aprcots peaches pears and rasns
well peanuts faxseed dried beans peas and soy
beans 1t will begin to buy turkeys to keep price
up, all for the benefit of the farmer
The answer lies in the government itself. 1t is break
for the farmers, but not necessarily the consumer.

At Miami the President fell back
on the old generalities and tried to
smear the opponents of European
arming with the opprobrious epi-
thet of isolationists. Of course, iso-
lationism can hardly be charged
against anyone like myself who
favors warning to the USSR that
if they attack Western Europe we
will be in the war against them.
In the European Recovery Pro-
gram, we decided that financial
aid would enable the European
countries to achieve much faster
economic recovery and improved
standards of living, and thereby
block communism. 1t is clear that
arms aid can only make it less
effective for these purposes.
The State Department admits
that the people of these countries,
will "unquestionably accept further
sacrifices required to permit suffici-
ent funds to be realized from nom
infationary sources to finance the
internal cost of this increased mill
tary production program. In short,
the increased standard of living,
which the ERP is supposed to pro-
duce, is to be cut by the Military
Assistance Program.
Il
THE President tries to answer
l. this argument by stating that "to
continue the momentum of this eco
nomic advance, it is necessary now
to remove the obstacles created by
the fear of military aggression. !"
With due respect for the President,
this is nonsense. Even in December
when I was in Europe, there was
little fear of Russian attack, and
the willingness to invest money
seemed to be greatest in Italy

WHICH HdS HO ueleIlSe against NUS
sia at all with or without the Mill
tary Assistance Program.
The increased American expen-
diture on the other hand is dam
gerOus to the American economy
because it increases an existing
deficit by another billion dollars
this year, and no one knows how
much in the future. The one es-
sential for European recovery and
defense is a prosperous America.
We cannot stand increased taxes,
and probably not even the burden
We now have.
From military standpoint, the
evidence presented to the commit
tees has not been impressive. There
is no guarantee that the arms aid
proposed will really enable these
countries to defeat an all-out Rus
sian attack, yet the wide extent of
the program is certainly calculated
to alarm the Russians, especially
when accompanied by such sensa-
tional moves as the recent visit of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Europe.
THE President protests that our
l. action is purely defensive and
says 1--WE are building defenses SO
that we won't have to fight" This
is certainly the discredited theory
of the Maginot Line. In the next
sentence he refers to mobile de-
tense forces" which can only mean
defense forces that can be used in
attack, as practically all arms can
be now used.
Every armament race in history
has been justified by the necessity
of defense. I believe the program is
intended to be defensive, but will it
seem so to the Russians? Our best
hope is that the whole program is
so futile that they will not regard
it as serious. But then it becomes
pure waste which we cannot afford.
believe the Atlantic Pact by
itself to be deterrent to Russian
aggression, and / believe even
more strongly that the all-power-
full American air force equipped
with the atomic bomb is ten times
the deterrent of the whole Mill
tary Assistance Program. Yet,
at the very moment the Admin
istration is insisting on scattering
American arms in Europe, it is
opposing the idea of q 70-group
American air force.

Gaping the

With BEN HAYES

Columbus A new Noble
County Club is being founded
here. A permanent organization
will be formed soon. If a good
response occurs, a banquet for
all Columbusites who came from
Noble county will be held in a
hotel in October or November.
Gerald A. Hughes is taking the
initiative. He's a graduate of
Jackson Township high school
and the son of Fulton Hughes, of
Three Forks. He was graduated
from Ohio State University in
1884 with degree in dairy tech
nology. He was employed at
Moores & Ross, professors of
milk and dairy products. He is
now regional director for the
Dairy, Baker and Food Workers.
He lives at 926 10Th Ave. Mrs.
Hughes was Dorothy Parrish, an
other Noble countian.
"The first job is to get an up
to-date mailing list of Noble
countians," Gerald said. So June
Waller, another native of south
western Noble county, who is
Geralds secretary, has sent about
100 letters to Noble countians in
Columbus.
They ask for names, addresses
and telephone number.
Those wanting to register with
Gerald should write him at 276
S. Third street, Columbus.
A committee of about Is peo-
pie will be called in a few days
for preliminary discussion. Ed
die James, formerly of Caldwell,
is expected to be interested.
Others helping now include Lou
ella Dutton and Evelyn Farson.
Gerald and Eddie helped or
ganize the 1886 Noble county din
ner at the State restaurant. The
attendance that year was good.
But the organization lapsed, and
there has been no organized ac-
tlvity of Noble countians in Co.
lumbus since.
I'VE want all ages in our club,
especially the older ones who can
tell us of earlier days in Noble
county. In fact, we are thinking
about awarding a prize to the
Oldest person attending the first
dinner meeting, Gerald said.
Leading citizens from Caldwell
and other Noble county towns
will be invited to speak. If pop
ular, annual Noble county picnics
may be held here in summer.
1t is estimated that at least 500
persons would participate in the
activities. Perhaps as many as
1900 Noble countians live here.
Eighty per cent of the people in
Columbus were born in Ohio
counties south of Route 40. And
Noble county has provided its
share of citizens.

The ---
American Way
WHAT WILL WE GET?
DEWITT EMERY

In his new book, "The Power
in the People," Felix Morley
makes the interesting point that
it is entirely possible for a gov
ernment established to secure the
blessings of Liberty to actually
produce the damnation of tyran-
ny and he goes on to say:
Indeed, that unexpected and
generally undesirable outcome
is wholly probable whenever
democratic processes place rep
resentative government in the
hands of men willing to exploit
ignorance in order to further the
Capitalization of power. The
danger is the greater because
there may be no insincerity
whatsoever in popular failure to
mark the line of demarcation be-
tween liberty and tyranny. The
common inability to correlate
cause and effect, the common
indifference to what history has
to teach, the common assumption
that one mans opinion is auto
matically as good as another's
are together sufficient to explain
why people seeking liberty none
the less often support measures
leading in exactly the opposite
direction"
That's really laying it on the
line and is good summation of
what has been happening in this
country for a number of years
as most of us can prove for our
selves out of our own exper-
ience.
A business man, for example,
who will compare the way bus
mess is done in this country to-
lay with the way it was done
fifteen years ago can't help re-
alize that few more years of
travel down the same road in the
same direction at the same rate
Of speed will entirely eliminate
freedom of enterprise from the
American scene.
In this connection it is we'll to
remember that if we ever lose
freedom of enterprise, economic
freedom if you prefer, we'll lose
freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom of assembly,
freedom of the press and so on.
All of our freedoms are wrapped
up in the same package.
Farmers can make the same
comparison with the same result
that in their case there is only
very short distance yet to go be-
fore full and complete regimen
tation has been reached. There
isn't room for free man to stand
up between floor under prices
and ceiling on production.
The sad part of this is that ev-
cry time the American people
have had a clear cut issue pre-
sented to them on centralized
control-national socialism-ver-
sus free enterprise they had vot-
ed overwhelmingly for free en-
terprise.
The great difficulty here is
that it has been many years since
a clear cut issue was presented
to the American people. We have
had two political parties during
all these years, both having the
same conception of government
with the copycats promising to
do a better job than the origin
ator. sI&0
If this is true, what we need
then in the fifty-two elections is
two sets of candidates, one set
vigorously and openly supporting
the welfare state with control
over everything and everybody
in the Federal gov
ernment, and the other set just
as vigorously and just as openly
advocating Constitutional gov
and freedom Of enter
prise.
That definitely is what we
need. wonder what well get.
