BRANCH WORK IN
ARIZONA

Last Tuesday, August 9th,
was the time for the picnic for
the seven members Of the Jun
ior Youth Fellowship who had
completed their memory work
for the season. They were the
only ones out of about twenty
four who entered the program.
They were: Janet Baker, Car
la Beth Hayden, Beverly Clay,
Otto Lawrence, Mary Ann Hay
den, Nancy Carol Brunk and
Linda Gail Morrison. Only one
of the boys got to go. We hope
there will be more boys next
season as we'll as girls. Mrs.
Morrison and Mrs. Brunk had
charge of the outing. Elder Bar
ton furnished the transporta-
ton (station wagon) and en-
joyed the good sandwiches and
cold drink.
Thursday evening was time
of extensive planning by the
teachers for the coming months
in the Bible School work. The
teachers are starting a new sys-
tenn of follow-up contacts with
absentees, visitors, and new
ones interested in the Bible
School. Since we have so many
coming and going in this COM
munity we must keep close
''tab" on all.
Then Friday evening was the
occasion for the Christian CHS
Workers meeting. Present at
the meeting were: Messrs Bak-
er Gin charge), Sam Inman,
Stump, Mattausch, Clay, Parry,
and Barton. A system of merit
attainment and awards was es-
tablished by the men. At the
Monday night meeting (last
EVENING" the boys continued
with their model building, re-
creation and drill, and then, af-
ter the regular devotional per-
iod, the story of the life of
Christ was presented. Visual
and audio aids used were the
protector and pictures, and the
sound system (for narration
and appropriate record music).
We will be glad when we re-
ceive our new record player
and changer, as we are using
borrowed machine for the pre-
sent. At the close of the meet
ing the boys joined in singing
their theme chorus, "Dare to be
a Daniel"
On Friday afternoon came
a request to take charge of
funeral service of man who
passed away in the neighbour
hood, Friday morning. On Sat-
urday afternoon, at 3 $3.50 P. M.
the service was held in the Sun
nyslope Mortuary. Left to
mourn the death of Mr.. Pat
terson, and present for the fun
eral were several elderly rela-
tives, including his wife. We
were glad to help these folks
and we trust that the message
which was given concerning
salvation and the hope of those
who have accepted Christ
might be used to touch the
hearts of some of the unbeliev-
ers who were present, as we'll
as comfort the hearts of the

AMERICAS FIRST NEWSPAPER

The month of April marked the 245th
anniversary of the first regularly published
newspaper in America. 1t was the Boston
News Letter, first published April "a, 1904,
by John Campbell, postmaster of the city. The
canny Scot utilized his position in the post
Office, center of information, beginning
1902 to write a newsletter for regular pa
irons and this developed into the newspaper.
1t survived under various titles until 1776
The first newspaper printed in America was
Publick Occurrences, Both Foreign and Do
mestick, on Thursday, September 25, 1890,
by Benjamin Harris in Boston. 1t was
promptly suppressed and limited to the single
issue. Harris, better known as the publisher
of The New England Primer, had previously
been in trouble with the authorities in Lon
don over the publication of newspaper (Do-
mestice Intelligence, 1679-81) and seditious
pamphlets and fed to New England in 1886.
He returned to London in 1896 and died
about 1716. The first daily newspaper was
the Advertiser, published in Philadelphia in
1884.
From these early colonial newspapers
has sprung the present day publishing enter
prises. Under our system of freedom of the
press American citizens have become the
best informed people in the world. 1t is vel
that this is true. 1t is to be hoped that con
slant vigil will be kept to guard against in
fringement upon these rights. So long as Oul
press is free we have little to fear from any
despot. Careful watch must be kept to keel
it so.

BABSON Discusses Social "SeCurity"

With the cost of living high as at present and
the purchasing power of the dollar so small this
pension means little to man and his wife l, how
over do not object so much to the small amount
object to the label The Federal Trade Commits
sion should forbid the of the word Security" ;"
This word is fooling 5OOOOOO0 people to think that
by making this contribution, they will be secure in
their old age. If the Government wants to call 1t
a pension" well and good; but to the word
Security" is absolutely deceptive and wrong. If
anv business corporation should attempt such mis-
representation it would be hailed into the Federal
Courts.
is THE PROGRAM FOR GOOD OR EVIL!
No doubt the motive for the Act was good, but
the real question is whether the American people
would be better or worse off today without it? l
honestly believe the nation is off today be-
cause this legislation is killing the spirit of saving
People are saying "Uncle Sam will take care OF me-
Hence they spend their surplus funds on gambling
horse races, liquor and other wasteful expenditures
instead of saving their money did their parents
If the Government was promising to pay in
real things such as food clothing and shelter these
pensions would be O. K. The Government, however,
takes our good dollars today and can pay us in bad
dollars when we are 65 These may then be worth
very little
HOW SAFELY TO SAVE
The above means that if all the readers OF this
column should reach 65, July l. 1949 they would gel
an average of only $S45O per month pension. Hence
it is crime to your family to depend upon this In
stead do these three things:
(1) Have small sustenance farm somewhere tC
which you can go in emergency.
(2) Give your children and wife an expert knowl
edge of some trade profession.

vested at the right time in we'll diversified

co no SUNDAY SCHOOL

1t has become very popular to talk about
the importance of saving our American way
of life. AS a matter of fact, the only way
we can lose it is for the American people
themselves to become so negligent in exer-
cising the rights and privileges they have
under our form of government that the lib
critics they take for granted will go by de-
fault. We have to work at being Americans
if we wish to perpetuate the blessings left to
us by our forefathers. American parents
must strive to help develop character in their
children, which is necessary to combat enc
mics both from within and without our bor-
ders. The essential qualification for the per-
petuation of our representative form of gov
ernment is character, and that is developed
on foundation of religious teaching. Ma
tional Sunday School Week is sponsored by
the Laymens National Committee, a non
sectarian, non-profit organization created to
bring about better understanding of the
important part religion has played in Great
ing and maintaining our government. Help
ing develop character in children through
some form of religious training cannot be
delegated by parents to someone else. A gooC
time to reawaken old-fashiOned ideas is tC
go to Sunday School with the familyyz anC
thereby help counteract the teachings OF
alien, goddess ideologies.

YOUR PURCHASING AGENT

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports
that the February drop in living costs was
the largest since it's monthly index was
started nine years ago. The drop to date has
nearly wiped out the total 1913 increase.
One major factor was decline in food prices
chain stores are selling at 10 to IL per cent
below the peak of last July. At the end of
March, an executive of an association made
up of both chain and Independent dry goods
stores said that current market procedures
of retailers reflect their inherent position as
purchasing agents for the consumer. Spe-
cially, retailing is doing everything it can
to make available to its customers the mer-
chandise they want, at the particular time
they want it, and at the lowest possible price.
The two foregoing items from the news on
the economic front are of direct interest to
everyone. The drop in the cost of living re-
suited from various conditiOns-nOtably the
return of the buyers market in many basic
lines, and an increasing choosiness on the
part of the consumer. In a free economy
where competition is the driving force, every
producer and merchandiser must keep his
eye firmly fixed on the shifting wind of con.
sumner preference. Those who fail in this
soon lose their trade to the factory or the
store down the street which does better
job of serving the public. 1t is impossible tC
compute just how much retailing has done il
reducing prices, and in holding price in
creases to the lowest possible level. But re
tail mark-ups have grown smaller, and art
below the level prevailing under OPA. Uni
profits have also been reduced, even as over
head costs have been pared. This has been
major contribution to the preservation of Ou
living standards.

WE HOPE 1T WILL BE OVER
OVER THERE

There is still lot of news coming from
the "cold war;" But the 'best news" that
comes from Moscow is 'taken with grain
of salt" Our own officials in Berlin and
other parts of the disputed areas indicate
that the authenticity of Russian promises is
to be discounted. The United States has gone
forward with honest purposes to bring about
peace throughout the world, and we have
backed our efforts with so much American
money that it makes ones head ache to con-
template such lavish use of our wealth. From
the day that representatives of many Gov
ernments throughout the world established
the United Nations the Russians have been
carrying on like lot of hypocrites trying
to seize territory from other nations. The
only encouraging thing in the whole story
is that the heads of the American Govern
ment really believe that they have overpow-
cred Russia in all its criminal efforts to
break up the United Nations and break down
other countries. In short, all we can do is
to watch and wait and hope-confdent in
the knowledge that if Russia starts wal
that the Government will be OverpowereC
and defeated in short order. We have tht
weapon.

Others included number of older

The main mile oval and the five

Many of the juvenile racers were

of the checkers brigade, many OF
the older horses were given speed
trials. Both tracks are in excellent

Milford PTA Met
On Tuesday, May 10

The last meeting of the year for
the Milford P. T. A. was held Tues
day, May 10th, at 500 p. M, in the
Elementary school.
The program of the evening fea-
tured two speakers. Mrs. Ham
mond, of the State Library Com
mission was the first speaker and
she reported on the newest books
for children. Mrs. Hammond was
most interesting in her presenta-
ton. Many people took notes on
her report for future use.
The second part of the program
featured talk by DR.. Neil Kerico,
who is the head of the dental team
sent in this state to- treat chill
dren's teeth with floride. DR.. told
the parents that this project was
sponsored by the Government.
That the idea was to sell the idea
tC parents so that they could set
up local programs later if they
wished. a continuation of it. He
said that fioride was the magic
chemical. In period of years and
under controlled conditions, it has
been definitely proven that this
treatment reduced tooth decay for
ty percent. This experiment had
been performed in schools up to
thirteen years of age. There has
been no controlled experiments on
the teeth of adults but the author
tiles believed that the results were
the same. He said that the Federal
Commission advocates the treat
ment of drinking water for towns
and cities.
DR.. Kerico mentioned the fac
that several other chemicals were
/ being used in foods and chewing
: gum to stop decay of teeth. One
in particular, vitamin X, now us
ed as an ingredient in chewins
gum is an attempt at a get ricl

The general idea of compelling

WHAT BECOMES OF
THIS MONEY?
First, let us consider how this
works. We each have deducted

4N''1N w @7''D01' ITOIn OUT pay tVtIy WOV OIF0 h
cent. To this is added equal amount contrbuteu
by our employer which he adds to the cost of the
goods we make and is ultimately paid by us Hence
in the long run, all of the money is collected directly
or indirectly, from us. All readers should under
stand this
Next, where does this money go? 1t is not IN
vested in a miscellaneous diversified group OF safe
securities, which would help industry and employ
ment. Rather the government merely buys its own
bonds or gives the Fund credit on it's books This
money when invested might be compared to a note
which you or 1 might give to ourselves; or, better
illustration would be like the endorsing of our own
