DEATH BY VIOLENCE

- DEL1I n ~ y1OLEdNOE
LIFE. il. general, has ceased to be a moderate affair.
1t has Systematically evolved into a design Of rushes, dashes
and flights, logged by violence every step Of the way. Ac-
tuaIly, our modern existence is life by violence. You dash
out in the morning to business, not at all sure that you will
reach there intact, because you can be knocked down and run
over by car, you may stop a gangsters bullet or q hop
heads knife, ora plane may fall on you. These are buta few
of the violent forms Of liquidation that threaten our longevity.
There was a time when the chance percentage of dying in
your little white bed was good. Today, what with cars, planes,
weapons and a good slice Of humanity off balance, mentally,
that is, from violent living, thu. chance for a peaceful demise
is becoming joke. Crime stories, pictures and plays have
become a must with US. We crave the gore and horror ike
a narcotic. 1t could be a subconscious effort to take the sting
of fear out Of what may be our dark destiny VIOLENT
DEATH, that we prefer horror stories to the classics.
VIOLENCE in all Of its aspects is gaining such a strange
hold on us that at this point we are weaving our tenderlings
on crime comic books. What enlightening literature for eager
young minds to feed onl Ninety millions Of these hlrid books,
with titles such as Witness, Wanted Crime, True
Murder, Pay OFF" to mention a few, are read BY our small
FRY. Imagine Is it any wonder that children are killing chill
dren, parents, teachers and anyone else who gets in their
confused wayP Recently a ~youngster hung himself very eff
ficiently, and his text, a crime comic book, lay on the ground
beneath the little body Just think, if today's children attain
adllthood, anyone who does not die by violence will be a
sissy IN their opinion. True we have freedom Of speech and
freedom Of press, but crime comic books prostitute these
freedoms and should be censored or banned as vicious men
aces to our boys and girls.
ACCOUNTS Of Death BY Violence fill our publica-
tons daily, and having become Injured to this grim reading
We accept it simply as just another piece in the crazy MOSAIC
that is modern life. Should the truth be known, It is highly.
probable that more deaths occur by violence than natural
causes. Wars, strikes, tidal waves, gang feuds, hdnappings

Beef Good Buy
For Housewives

Beef will continue to be a good
buy for housewives for the next
two or three years according to
the experts.
In brief, here are the five major
beef cattle price habits as deter
mined by an analysis of records
since 1870:
Habit No. - Beef cattle pri-
ces reach high point every ID
to 16 years, and low points at
similar intervals = about mid
way between the high points. This
swing from high to low and back
again is known as the cattle price
cycle.
Habit No. 2 - Cattle prices tend
to decline about half from their
high to low points. Average dollar
value of cattle at the four peaks
1885, 1889, and 1915 and 1929 was
$30.17 per head. Average at the
four low points in 1891, 1905, 1925
and 1884 was $16.04 or 479s less.
Average purchasing power declin-
ed from 135 to SO or 500 during
these periods.
Habit No. 3 = Cattle prices are
lower than hog prices most of the
time. Since 1909, cattle prices have
been higher than hog prices in 10
years and lower in 33 years. Dur
ing this period prices received by
farmers have averaged 1851 per
cwt. for cattle and $1O.76 for hogs
or 1870 higher.
Habit No. a - When beef supp
lies exceed pork supplies beef pri-
ces become sharply lower. Since
1903, there have been four years
1910, 1917, 1918 and 1947 when
beef supplies were higher than
pork supplies. In those years, per
capita supplies were 62 pounds of
pork and SO pounds of beef. Prices
of cattle averaged $10.45 or 1870
less than the average $15.55 price
of hogs.
Habit No. 5: Consumers
spend a fixed portion of their in
come for meat. This has ranged
from 51s to 61a% regardless of
the size of income or of the sup
plies of meat.
Habits VS.. the Present - Cattle
prices began downtrend cycle in
1852. If the cycle follows previous
patterns cattle numbers will in
crease from the present 95 million
to about 100 million head by 1856
at which time the supply of beef
marketed will be 2O% greater than
at present. Beef supplies for 1853
are estimated at 11b above pork
supplies.

Famous Livestock
Man Dies July l
B. B. BrumIey Dies Of
Heart Condition

B. B. Brumley of McComb, Ohio,
who died Wednesday night July
u at Findlay following a heart
attack, was one of the most widely
known livestock men in the Ma
ton.
He was one of the organizers of

head of livestock valued at over
$165 million.

Ohio Chamber Saws
Budget May Balance

COLUMBUS, O., June 29-Sub-
stantial progress towards a bal
anced Federal budget is being
made by extensive reduction in ex-
penditures by the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration and Congress, accord
ing to the Ohio Chamber of Com.
merce.
This conclusion is indicated by
current House cuts in appropria-
tons amounting to $3.50, 600, ,OOC
in addition to the $9,1OO,OOO, ,OOC
slash effected by the Eisenhower
Administration in the Truman bud
get, Ohio Chamber President c. I
Weaver said Monday.
An analysis made by the Wash.
ington Research office of the Ohio
Chamber, shows that the House
has not only assented to most oi
the Administrators economy eff.
forts in appropriation measures
but has made further cuts of its
own in several cases. Departing
from customary practice, the Sen.
ate has generally sustained House
cuts in the four money bills it has
passed.
Balanced Federal budgets have
been urged consistently by Ohio
business for 80 years, Mr.. Weaver
declared.
Such a goal is fundamental to
a sound national economy, where
as continued deficit financing can
lead to nothing but bankruptcy
and disaster" the Ohio Chamber
official said.
The Ohio Chambers analysis OF
actions on nine appropriation bills
considered to date by the House
and four by the Senate reveals
that proposed expenditures for the
fiscal year 1884, beginning July
/, will be $4,000. 600, 900 or more
below the Truman budget total oi
$73.269, $4,000.
The final result, however, will
depend upon whether any of the
current reductions are restored ir
whole or in part. and upon actor
taken on two big appropriation
bills still to be considered, accord.
ing to the report.

Three Gents Invested
Saves Up To As Cents

Weevil damage which could
cost farmers 45 cents a bushel on
$2-wheat can be prevented for 8
cents a bushel says T. H. Parks.
extension entomologist, at Ohio
State University.
Pyrethrum compound, mixed
with wheat at harvest time, at
the rate of 71a pounds of COM
pound per 100 bushels of grain,
prevents weevil damage. The cost
is about 3 cents a bushel.
The 45-cent-a-bushel loss on So
wheat occurs when there is 10
percent damage Dockage costs
25 cents a bushel while shrinkage
adds another 20-cent loss.
If the pyrethrum compound is
mixed with grain and bins are
clean, fumigation later in the
year may not be necessary.
County extension offices have
complete information on py-
rethrum compounds and how to
store and keep quality wheat.

Preventing Hog,
Losses From Heat

CHICAGO - New ways for
farmers to prevent hog losses due
to the heat of hot summer days
are outlined in the July issue of
National Live Stock Producer.
The magazine points out that
hogs weighing from 70 to 144
pounds gain most efficiently at
temperatures of IS F. Hogs
weighing from 166 to 26O pounds
will gain best at 60F. These
temperatures are far cry from
the 80 to 100 hot spells through
out the nation this time of year.
At go F., fattening hogs require
about $50 pounds of feed for each
100 pounds of gain and as much as
1885 pounds of feed is required
for each 100 pounds of gain at
temperatures of 81 F Hot weather
tests indicate that hogs under $50
pounds waste z bushels of grain
out of every 10 at 90 tempera-
lures. Pigs between 16O and 26O
pounds waste 1870 of their feed.
Keep your hogs cool on the farm
with an open shed with hay or
straw piled on top to keep out the
sun or provide them with a sani-
tary hog wallow. A concrete bath
tub helps hogs overcome the heat
on the farm of Charlie Owings of
Harpester, o. His hogs enjoy the
sanitary hog wallow which keeps
them cool and a thin film of oil
on the surface protects them from
lice and other parasites.
Hogs beat the heat on the farm
of Robert c. Turner of Henry, ILL.,.
by taking midnight snacks" under
electric lights controlled with a
time clock. In a 63-day test (from
July l to Sept. q these porkers
gained an average of Las pounds
per day to produce 100 pounds of
pork on 275 pounds of feed. Lights
went on for feeding periods at 10
to 11:30 Pm. to to $3.50 Am.
Two 80 watt blubs with reflec-
tors lighted the feeding area at
cost of about &c per hog.

Nursing Service
Doubles In y. S.

COLUMBUS-One out of every
60 Americans now use some type
of nursing service every day. it
was reported here today by Mir
lam Petchner, director of the
School of Nursing at Grant Hos
pital.
She said that hospital admissions
over the nation have more than
doubled since 1896; in the same
period births in hospitals have in
creased from $4,000 to $500, 600;
and the number of those having
some type of hospital insurance
has leaped from 375, 900 to 10000
600.
All this, Miss Petchner explain
ed, has resulted in the urgent need
for educating more nurses. She
said the American Nurses associa-
ton has estimated that Is per cent
more graduate professional nurses
will be needed in three years than
are active today.
The average young woman grad
uating from a nursing school this
about three jobs. Miss Petchner
spring will have her choice of
said.
Arrangements have been made
at Grant Hospital to admit a Is
per cent larger class in September.
The hospital has also cooperated
with others in the area to establish
a school for practical nurses.

iuations?


"Ssa. Mccarthy. of the United
States. / have written to the At
torney General to find out whether
Truman has given that informa-
ton to the new administration. If
he has not, expect to invite him
to appear before our Subcommit-
tee for questioning.
q, To what was Mackenzie
Kings information related?
A. 1t was related to the Cana
dian spy ring which gave price
less secret information concerning
nuclear fission and the atomic
bomb to espionage agents of the
Kremlin.
@. Were United States citizens
involved In the Canadian spy ring?
A. Yes. Mackenzie King is re-
ported to have give Truman the
names of roughly $50 United States
citizens which were found in the
notes or dairy of one of the Cana
dian members of that spy ring.
@. How was the Canadian spy
ring exposed2
A. That is a long story; but
I will outline its essential features.
Igor Gouzenko, the code clerk of
the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa,
decided to free himself from the
clutches of the Soviet slave state.
After receiving an order to return
to Moscow, Gouzenko talked the
matter over with his young wife
and together they mapped the dar-
ing plan whereby. for their own
protection, he would turn over to
the Canadian government docu-
mentary proof of the existence of
a spy ring whose assignment was
to collect and transmit to Soviet
agents the secrets of the atomic
bomb. Accordingly, one night in
1945, Gouzenko stuffed hundreds
of documents under his shirt and
rushed with them to the famous
Royal Canadian Mounties. They
examined his documents, gave him
immediate protection, and saved
him from liquidation.
@. What did the Canadian
government do about the docu-
mentary evidence which Gouzenko
turned over to IT,. ....... -. 80.
A. The Canadian government
acted promptly and effectively. A
royal commission was set up COM
posed of distinguished Canadian
jurists. Gouzenko's evidence was
examined with the utmost tho
roughness. The report of the Royal
Commission was released in 1916.
The names of the members of the
spy ring were revealed to the
Canadian public and to the world.
Indictments were handed down;
and some of the Canadian men,
bers of the spy ring were convict
ed and received prison sentences,
including a member of the Cana
dian parliament.
@. What happened to Gouzenko7
A. A grateful Canadian govern
ment voted to give Gouzenko a
24-hour Mountie guard for the re-
mainder of his life. It also exempt
ed his income, received from art
icles about his daring exploit, from
taxation.
@. What did Truman do about
the United States citizens whose
names were submitted to him by
Mackenzie King?
A. That's what want to
know. I think the people of the
United States want to know. For
that reason, have asked Attorney
General Brownell If Truman turn
