Virginia OAR Attacks
U.N. Again on Issue oi
World Government
~ Washington, D. G.
THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1852

The Virginia Daughters of the
American Revolution yesterday
launched a new attack on the
United Nations as a proponent OF
world government and opposed
further distribution of booklets in
a series titled, Toward World Un-
derstanding."
The OAR was instrumental re-
Gently in the passage of a resolu-
tion in the Virginia General As
sembly, opposing the principle OF
world government as a threat to
American sovereignty.
A resolution adopted at the 56th
annual State conference, during a
business session in the terrace
room of the National Airport,
urges that no American money be
used for the publication and dis
tribution of "such un-American
literature" The booklet series is
distributed by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization.
The OAR says the booklets "ad-
vocate the internationalizirg Of
American education and dis
count the Importance of Amer
ica11 citizenship or patriotism"
Other resolutions adopted by
the group include one reiterating
opposition to Federal aid to edu-
cation, another opposing compul-
sorry health insurance and one
supporting a proposed constitu-
tional amendment to limit the
power of making treaties and ex-
ecutive agreements.
The delegates were congratu-
lated early in yesterdays session
for their work in developing facil-
ities at the Blue Ridge School in
st. George, Va. Bernard M. SUIT
tier, special agent of the FBI told
the group this is an outstanding
youth program.

Richland TUp. Has Unique Distinction
OF Having Duplicate Section Numbers

Richland township is believed to be
the only one in the state which has
duplicate section numbering, an odd
circumstance which came about
through the county reorganization
of 1848 in which six sections were
taken away from Putnam county
and given to Allen county.
AS a result of that transfer, Rich
land township now has Sections 81,
80, 33, "a, 35 and 36 ranging along
the extreme north border next to
Putnam county, plus duplicate Sec
tions 81, 32, 33, Sd, 35 and SO at
the south along the Jackson town.
ship line.
In the county reorganization of
1848, leading to taking the southern
most tier of sections from Riley
township, Putnam county, and adding
them to Richland township, Allen
county, the Putnam county numbers
of 81 through SO were maintained
to avoid garbling legal records.
Consequently, to this very day
Richland townships section number
ing system permits the claim that it
is the most unusual in the state.
When you say Section 81 in Rich
land for example, you also must de-
termine if it is North or South 81.

No Shortage Of
Potatoes FOreseen
For Next Year

Plenty of potatoes should be on
hand in the nation this year to
prevent a scarcity such as developed
last spring, according to a news re-
lease from the Ohio Agriculture Ex-
tension service.
AS a result, Bluffton area shoppers
will not be forced to contend with
high prices and acute shortages when
planning to include potatoes in the
family menu, a situation which was
common from late-winter-on this
year.
Prices, however, are likely to re-
main at today's firm levels, and some
minor shortages may occur before late
potatoes are harvested next year.
Those shortages, however, should not
be expected in a rural area such as
this, which is surrounded by big
potato producing districts such as
around Pandora and in Hardin county,
This years national potato crop
was estimated at 345.6 million BUSH
els, an increase of 20 million bushels,
or six per cent over the short crop of
last year.
Consumption of potatoes during the
coming year is not likely to change
greatly from 1852, it vas pointed out.
An average of 1O2 pounds per person
is estimated. Potato consumption has
shown a gradual downward trend over
the past several years.
Ohio's 1852 potato crop, in contrast
to the upward national trend, was
estimated at, five million bushels,
which is 13 per cent below 1851,
Yield per acre was about 200 bushels,
compared with 23O bushels in 1851
and a 1941-50 average of 156 bushels,

Silent Night Hymn
Is Often Called
Song From Heaven

Silent Night" is often called the
Song from Heaven" because the
story of its inspiration and compo-
sition is one of the most beautiful
Christmas stories in existence.
On December "A, 1918, In the Aus
trian village Of HaIein, as Father
Joseph Mohr sat reading his Bible,
there was a knock at his door. It
was a peasant woman who wanted
the priest to visit a poor charcoal
makers wife to whom a child had
been born. The parents had sent her
to ask the priest to come and bless
the infant.
Father Mohr was strangely moved
by the visit to the mother. And that
evening as he returned to his home
saw that the dark slopes Of the
Alps around the village were alight

with torches of the mountaineers
on their way to church. To him 1t
was a Christmas miracle.
Later, as he tried to put down
on paper his feeling and experience,
the words kept turning into verse.
When dawn came he found he had
written a poem-a beautiful and
moving poem.
On Christmas Day his friend,
Franz xaver Gruber, music teach
er in the village school. composed
music to fit the verses.
Village children heard the priest
and teacher singing the song and
learned 1t. From there it spread
throughout the world. Today, 1t Is
regarded as the greatest Christ
mas hymn and wherever there are
men Of good will they sing:
"Saent might, holy might
Al IS calm, all is bright,
Round yog Virgin, Mother snS
Child;
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in beaosnly peace
Sleep in beapenty peace"

I had one given me by my
son, for Christmas and followed
the directions on keeping it,
which I read in RICH. After
plant finished blooming, I cut
it down to about l foot. put it
on it's side in basement and
gave it water several times dur
ing the winter. This spring
after the weather was settled,
I put the plant, pot and all
down in ground in southeast
end of garden. a rather pro-.
tected place. It was almost un-
believable, to see how 1t
sprouted out and now I have
about four stalks over 2 feet
tall with the healthiest looking
leaves. Before the nights get
too cool. I am going to take
the pot out of the ground and
set the plant by a sunny window
and hope it will bloom for
