The Atom Bomb

President Truman recently told !
a reporter late in July that he was
still hoping fervently for world
peace and would do his best to
attain it.
He was asked whether he would
use atomic bombs to assure the Sc
curity of the United States. The
President said he hoped to escape
the necessity of using the bomb.
But he has the nerve to do it.
Winston Chuchill has warned
Britain of the dangers which his
country faces. He seems to prefer
the atomic bOmb-if necessary-to
curb Soviet expansion.
The Fifty.TwO United Nations
There must be no confusion con-
cerning the principles and purposes
of the United Nations. This world
wide organization is far more pow
erful than all the Communists.
And don't forget that the Presl
dent of the United States is still
ordering everything needed" t
increase the nations stockpiles o
strategic materials.
And according to the metrOpoll
press the President is likely t
f ask Congress for another $4 billlO
e for airplanes and other tightin
= machinery.

PAST STUPIDITY
We may be worst enemies. We have been
blind and foolish and some among have even
committed treason. Who on behalf of the U. S. con-
sented at Yata to the cutting in half of Korea with
Russia given control of the best developed indus
trial part of the country? Who withdrew U. S. aid
to Nationalist China because Chang Kai-shek re-
fused to take Communists into the government?
China would have been a bulwark against tyranny
in the Orient. Who denied the military Importance
of Korea and Formosa only few months ago?
Who ordered State Department files stripped OF
"derogatory" information employees as early as
four years ago: Who put Alger Hiss in high position
at the formation of the u N and at the WOrld-dVld-
ing conference at Yalta? Who partioned Germany
SO that the u S. Britain and France had. no access
to it's main city and capital except by grace of the
Russians? Who withdrew forces from Korea
months ago? Who failed to deliver what the Non
Communist government asked in military supplies
It doesn't look to me as if government has been
operating for us. It's actions have encouraged the
spread of communism, caused us anxiety OF mino

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES

For the benefit of those under the illusion

clusion: "One-third of what you pay for

average. If it were not for taxes, the auto
mobile now selling for $1,000 could sell for
S1.245; the $4,000 car for 81 ,534 and so on.
Fhe man with a $96O-a-year income pays
about S123 in hidden taxes if he gets So, 400

IS. THIS A NEW CAMPAIGN TRICK?

We make it a rule to ignore unsigned
letters addressed to us. But recently we re-
ceived an anonymous communication, part
of which reflected upon the integrity OF
Delaware newspapers as a group. FOR tnat
reason we are commenting on the thought
advanced by the unknown writer. The ar
ticle was biased report of an alleged polltl-
cal gathering, the meeting place OF which
was not disclosed.
We are not sure whether it was an un-
considered remark or the introduction OF
planned campaign, The letter quoted a
speaker at the political rally as having mace
a remark which showed a malicious attitude
toward the newspapers of Delaware = both
daily and weekly - when he said that the
overwhelming majority of the newspapers
of Delaware are Republican, because they are
subsidized by the special interests ana

are Republican" Whether considered or not,
the statement is not true and will be resented

oIltburst of this Oratorical spokesman ser

These apples should be cooked

STEWARDSHIP OF MONEY

BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
One of the strangest charact-
ers of whom we read in the Old
Testament was Melchizedek, the
king of Salem and priest of the
most high God" Tithes were
given him by Abraham when he
returned from the pursuit of the
banded kings who had despoiled
Canaan. Thus early in the his
tory of religion was the time rec
ognized as that which a man
should return unto God.
The law of the tithe is en-
larged in the New Testament in
to the law of stewardship. All
man has comes from God and is
to be used by him as sacred
trust. Nothing he has is really
his own, to be used just as he
pleases. 1t is to be devoted to the
service of God. A man must give
all he can, and he should not
fall below the ancient tithe. Let
every Christian realize his duty
with respect to the money that
God entrusts to him. For Chris
tian living is bound up with
Christian giving.
Blessings come with faithful
stewardship. Paul reminds the
Corinthians that he who sows
bountifully will reap also bount-
fully. And in writing the Phil
ippians to thank them for their
care of him, he states that their
gifts met his needs and were a
sacrifice acceptable well-pleas-
ing unto God"
So can we find JOY and salts
faction in giving, knowing that
we share with our Lord and
Master as we share with others.
Jesus does not need our gifts for
himself, but he needs them for
his work.

Mulch Protects
All Berry Plants

Mulching protects strawberry
plants from heaving caused by
alternate freezing and thawing
of the soil. 1t also prevents in
jury from severe cold and drying
winter winds, says R. G. Hill,
Ohio agricultural experiment
station horticulturist.
Mulch is helpful to the berry
grower in the spring, too. 1t re-
tards bloom date, thus reducing
the possibility, of crop failure
caused by frost damage, aids in
the control of weed growth and
conserves soil moisture.
To take advantage of the pos
sibilities of mulch in a straw
berry planting, a grower should
keep these points in mind: ID
Best mulch material is wheat or
rye straw as free of weed seed
as it is possible to obtain. (2.)
Mulch application must be prop
erly timed. Applied before the
plants are hardened, that is, af-
ter they have experienced sew
eral freezes, mulch may result in
more injury to the plant than il
left unprotected. (3) Mulch
should be deep enough to ac-
complish its purpose. In south
ern Ohio, two inches are ample,
while in the Wooster area and
further north, four to five inches
are required. A ton of straw per
acre is needed for each inch OF
mulch.
After mulch is applied, Hill
continues, it may be left undis-
turbed until spring, when il
should be removed from the
plants and placed in the aisles.
