WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE

WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE
HIS PAPER REFUSES to accept any news or declara-
ton that Interior Secretary Mckay has gone on record as
refusing to consider James A. Bough as a candidate for the
governorship. And there are two reasons why we refuse to
believe, or accept any such declaration. So
IN H FIRST place, professional ethics and propriety
would restrain a cabinet officer from making the type Of de-
claration to a small political unit which would in any way tip
the hand of the President, with whom the final power of
appointment rests. Accepted and well established custom
through the years prevent cabinet officers from saying what
the President will or will not do, particularly with reference
to appointments, and especially when the position is still open.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED is that candidates for Offices
have themselves withdrawn from the running, and they, under
such circumstances, make public announcements. But for a
cabinet officer to tip the hand of the Chief Executive and
say that a certain possible candidate is not even being con-
sidered is to open the kind of leaks and establish the kind OF
p~recedents which would make short work Of good public re-
Iations, and give away that which officials hate to make
obvious.
AND IN THIS connection, it is extremely unfortunate
that a cabinet officer could make such a declaration to a local
political group. Such a precedent could lead to untold con
fusion, misunderstanding and chaos. To say nothing OF the
possible betrayal of trust on the part Of the recipients of such
a letter.
H SECOND REASON seems even more compelling
than the first. One Of the great campaign issues OF the RePub-
lican party was that the country was to be returned to the
people who really owned it. Too much power was concen-
trated in, and dispensed from Washington. The States were
to have their rights and powers returned to them. 1t was the
truly democratic way Of life to let the people control their
own lives and affairs, and that the centralizing, bureaucratic
functioning Of the federal government was to be reduced 50
that they the people could know where, their power and IN
fuence lay. And in consequence the Tidelands question was
resolved in Congress with those states most concerned reeeay-
, 1953-05-20
ing the lands in question. And there is talk of the Tennessee
Valley Authority going back to private management or to
the state, and the same is true of other major projects.

the state, and the same is true Of other major projects.
o INCONSISTENT can the Secretary be? # the
Administration is committed to the proposition that the
States land this should by all reason include the territories)
should have their right to govern back again, then how can
it be that the people of the Virgin Islands do not even have
the right to suggest their own candidate? How can the theory
of self-government stand up when at the very outset the Peo-
pie of a political entity are told in strong action that their
entire destiny is in the hands of strangers, and that any right
whatever, even to suggest, is futile?
IF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS cannot take this one, little
step, then our concept of SeEf-government and the rest OF it
lis entirely to no avail. And the shock is all the stronger be-
cause of the way in which it is done,
NOR IS THIS a championing of the candidacy OF Nh.
fBough, capable and qualified though he is. Our shock is at
the deeper, more unfortunate implications and what they
portend. This is matter Of pure principle. As a people, living
under the Stars and Stripes, the very symbol OF individual
freedom and the right Of self government, we should have
the very elemental right of suggesting the name OF a candi-
date. And it is our right NOT to have that suggestion dis
missed summarly and with apparent disdain.
WE POKE WITH Secretary Mckay during his visit
here, and cleaned that he was a man of keen understanding.
It is therefore clear to see why we refuse to ACCEPT any news
locally that he would take such a step. 1t just does not sound
possible. There is a much better way of declining to consider
a candidate seriously, and we firmly believe that the Secretary
would follow that better way.

LFWC Amends
Constitution

The February meeting of the
London Federation of Women's
Clubs Wednesday attracted a num-
ber of representatives of various
clubs who braved the inclement
weather in order to vote upon
proposed legislation.
An amendment to the local Fed
GRAFTON constitution was under
consideration and when votes We're
tailed the count was unanimous
for the amendment.
Mrs. Byers Adair, to open the
meeting, noted that February is
known as the month of famous
men-but also includes a number
of famous women. She quoted,
Washington freed his country,
Lincoln freed the slaves, but Sus-
an B. Anthony freed the Women"
After reports of committees and
other routine business the meeting
was turned over to Mrs. Donald
Thibaut, president of Twentieth
Century Club, which was respon-
sible for the program.
Mrs. Thibaut introduced the Gas
Company's Miss Betty Newton
who provided half hour of in
teresting household hints and short
cuts. She also showed a movie of
modern kitchens which utilize the
methods for today's
housewife. At the conclusion of
her interesting talk Miss Newton

The adhesive is packaged in
quart and gallon and five-gallon
containers. 1t is prepared ready
to use.
Seguin suggests that the ad-
hesive and these three simple
steps make wallpapering the
easiest method of room decorat-
ing:
/. Pour the adhesive into any
flat kitchen pan or the paint
roller containers available at
paint stores.
2. Apply it on the wall with
the roller which spreads it even
ly. Begin at the upper left-hand
corner of the room with your
plumb line in place.
3. Then hold a roll of pre-
trimmed wallpaper in the left
hand and slowly unroll it down
against the adhesive-covered wall.
Press it at the bottom OF the wall
and cut wallpaper with razor
blade at the Dashboard. The next
strip can be applied the same
way.
A special feature of the new
adhesive is that it does not dry
Immediately. Suspension lasts for
80 to so minutes, permitting the
wallpaper to slip in place against
the edge of the first strip. This
enables matching of wallpaper
patterns at slower pace Says
Seguin:
"The new adhesive makes wall
paper easy to put on and easier
to take off. Taking paper off the
wall is the big bugaboo we lick
ed.

SOCIETY, SOCIAL EVENTS AND NEWS OF THE CLUBS
Ohio History
Told In SONG

The members of the Twentieth
Century Club were given les
son in Ohio history through music
Friday afternoon, February 13 at
Coover Memorial Club House.
Mrs. James Grimes, appropria-
tely costumed in a vary charming
and informal way, depicted early
Ohio history in song. She accom-
panied herself on the either, an
instrument familiar to this part
of the country in pioneer Ohio
history.
Mrs. Grimes told how the pio-
neers sang songs to help them
work, play, worship, God and to
teach their children. When they
had been sung for certain
length of time, scholars identified
them with the folks of the parti-
cular locality and they were call
ed Folk Songs"
She sang songs typical of the
different periods in history, start
ing with the Ohio River songs,
"The Boatman's Dance" by Dan
Emmett. songs of the American
Revolutionary War era. In con-
nection with the latter, Mrs.
Grimes told how, through singing,
the Revolutionary people had
been able to spread messages and
propaganda. She included the
"Ohio Fever songs, people want
ing to come to Ohio during the
time of Rufus Putnam and also
the year 1903 when Ohio was
made state; as well as when
William Henry Harrison became
president, and how songs came
out of GAINESVILLE and Marysville
for that campaign.
Mrs. Grimes devoted a portion
of her program to Abe Lincoln
and songs that were his favorites.
She interrupted her program to
sing two favorites of that period,
I'm a Methodist till I Die, and
Jimmy Crack Corn" which were
enthusiastically received by the
audience.
She continued her tracing of
history with songs of Abolitionist
time and the underground rail-
road in Ohio. There were sad
songs sung by negroes who had
left behind loved ones and songs
sung with detailed directions of
what route to follow. MY Darling
Nellie Gray" written by Ben
Handy of Westerville, was men
toned. There were songs about
Woman's Temperance movement
which began at Hillsboro, Ohio.
Mrs. Grimes concluded her pro-
gram playing an instrument call
ed the dulcimer, one of two real
American instruments, the other
being the banjo.
AT a short business session, the
following officers were selected
for the coming year: Mrs. Richard
Meade, president; Mrs. Earl Bal
lenfer, first vice president; Mrs.
r. w. Dillingham;, second vice
president; Mrs. Alvin Barr, re-

chairman, to carry out the idea
gave the story of Gardens of
Noted Ohioans." Her interesting
talk began with the history of the

with the story of the English and
Scotch Irish first settlers and

at the one home of Mrs. John
Traquair, all at Chillicothe; 'Zoar
Gardens, between Canton and
Dover; Art Institute Gardens at

ISAIAH 26:3 - Thou wilt keep him in perfect
,peace. whose mind is stayed on Thee: because
he trusteth in Thee"

,peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because.
he trusteth in Thee"
Through the years this ins piring verse Of Holy
Scripture. has meant much to me. IL is both
promise and power in my life and it has stood
as tall tower of strength when other things
failed.
The verse indicates the Source of peace. We
are no longer left in doubt TO where to hnd'
peace. We know that peace is not some Secret"
forever beyond the reach of man. Peace is a
pos Sc ssion of God. He is its source, and He
alone give US that peace. Jesus promised
His discip on the night before the crucihxion
that peace leave with you, my peace give
unto you: not a the world giveth, give unto
you. Let no. your heart be troubled, neither let
il be afraid" IL is His peace and He alone can
impar il. When We seek peace from any other
source we are always disappointed.
This also indicates the Substance of
peace. IL is perfect" peace. Nothing is left
to chance or guess and certainly no area o.
life is left untouched when we allow God TO
keep US imperfect peace. This peace the
absence of fear. The two cannot live in the
same heart; if fear is present peace must go, If
peace is present fear does go!
Finally, this verse indicates the Surrender we
mus, make 10 peace. We have the promise of
perfec, peace if we keep minds stayed
Him and trust in Him. How little think about
God How much of our thought is upon ourselves
and desires. AS long will keep
mind on God we keep ie off ourselves and there.
fore we give God chance to open the channel
between Him and us. Yes, it is His peace and
He offers it willingly to those who will keep
their mind on Him and trust in Him. IL never
fails. Ii is more than peace of mind, it is peace
OF soul, perfect peace from God.

hesive enables an expert job to
disarranging of the room.
Seguin, a wallpaper manufac-
turer at Hammond, Ind, says the
job can be done with simple
tools. With the new adhesive, all
one needs are a paint roller, a
clean cloth to wipe the paper on
the wall and razor blade for
trimming.
Seguin says he has applied for
a patent on his adhesive which
is made with resin base. He
demonstrated his new product
during the Winter Furniture Mar
ket at the Merchandise Mart.
The new paste is water soluble
and can be reactivated by soaking
it with water for easy removing
at any time. For a wallpapering
job, sizing of walls isn't neces-
sary. 1t can be used on plaster,
plaster board, paint or enamel
surfaces.
Several wallpaper manufac-
turers are cooperating with Sc
guin and his new adhesive by
packaging ready-trimmed wall
paper. Lap edges are trimmed so
that the paper can be butted pro-
feSSionally to each strip. The
wallpaper design is headed out,
made right side up, to reduce
mistakes.
Seguin said he and chemists
trial-tested the adhesive for Ia
months under intensive testing
conditions. He reports that a
major mail-order house tested it
for six months and has accepted
it for over-the-counter sales in
all its stores.
