In its simplest terms, the struggle
lies between the spiritual and the ma
terial. The Communist seeks to rob you
of your birthright by destroying your
faith in our republic. The mess of
pottage which he offers in tempting
the weak, the shallow, and the short
sighted is the illusory promise of ma
terial security-the security Of the
slave. The Communist offensive must
never be underestimated, for that
promise has seduced millions OF people
and the ultimate objective is to swing
all the peoples of the globe into the
Communist orbit. Like the confidence
man, therefore, the Communist labors
necessarily to get his victims in the
proper frame of mind-to "set up the
suckers for the kill" Diligently and
indiscriminately he pours his corro-
sive acid of disunity, hatred, and dis
content over the worker. the professor,
the artisan, the student.

Letters to The Star .

that he is free Of contagious diseases.
In Virginia, employees are bundled up
once a year and sent to the clinic
en- maSSe.
tuberculosis is a contagious disease
and the Washington area has a high
rate in proportion to the country as
a whole Five new cases are dis
covered each day and five die each
week from this disease alone in this
area
Surely our Capital City can afford
adequate health examination facilities
to have all food handlers examined be-
fore they are able to spread disease
not two months to one year after they
have been on the job.

Policing Military Abroad


I am a plain American housewife
one of the many deluded females who
voted for Gen. Eisenhower because I
believed he, as a military authority,
could and would straighten out the
chaos in this country. have watched
his manipulation of State affairs dur
ing the first six months of his term
with growing apprehension and con-
Germ. I have read with disgust and
shame the wanton betrayal of South
Korea and the undiminiShed appeaSe-
ment of the Communists. have prayed
daily for God to give me an under
standing heart and open mind-to help
me withhold judgment and believe the
President we so truStfully elected is do
ing his uttermost to prove worthy Of
that trust. But after reading of the
treaty he sponsored without notice or
warning to the American people whose
sons are bearing the brunt of this So
called police action" in Korea, can
no longer sit on the sidelines and hold
my peace.
This pact-under which American
soldiers can be brought to trial in a
foreign country where they may be
stationed and commit misdemeanorS or
crimeS-is a disgrace to our Govern
ment and gross violation of our boys
constitutional rights. And that friend
ly nations" clause, which confers upon
us the high privilege of trying their
soldiers in return, is an insult to the
intelligence of every American citizen.
Where are there any foreign troops
stationed in this country, unless one
catalogues the Reds, fellow travellers,
and pinks who infest our high Govern
ment Offices like vermin? And where,
in either Europe or Asia, is there such
an oddity as nation genuinely friend
ly to the U. S. A?
We have two boys in the service-one
a sailor, the other an infantryman.
They are 19 and 20 years of age, re-
spectively, and if I thought one of
them might be hailed before foreign
tribunal whose language and laws he
couldn't even understand, I'd pray God
to take him now and let him rest in
the American soil for which his ances-
tors fought dear old England and
passed on to him free from foreign en-
tanglements until World War
spawned the first of these secret pactS.

Tells CoIumnist to Prove 1t

David Lawrence's column, July %,
contained this quote: "The United
States-under orders from Great Brit
ain and other allies engaged in the
fighting :" Having printed and dis
seminated this, I consider that you are
required to have your colun1nist present
proof of his allegation of specific United
States Government acts under orders
from Great Britain and other allies"

Communism and the College Student
What can you do to combat it?

WnaG can you 40 TO cOHpdC II!
Communism is the anthithesis of
Christianity. To indorse communism
is to deny all the tenetS Of Christianity
the great teachings which have
guided our civilization during the dark
ages of mankind's long, upward climb
toward the light. You can be Christian.
Communism is immoral The Com
munist teaches that the end justifies
the means You can live positively. You
can promote the dynamic morality
which is essential to the preservation
of free nation.
Communism seeks fronts Don't
provide protective coloring for Subvers-
i've organizations by being an indis-
crinlinate "joiner" Ascertain the ultl-
mate objectives of groups which mouth
platitudes and eSpouSe causes before
you lend the strength of your name to
their petitions and their rolls.
Communism feeds on ignorance. Be
informed. Never yield to the disastrous
luxury of emotional or fuzzy" think
ing. Stick to the facts.
Communism seeks change. 1t would
make the state the master and the
individual the slave. You, therefore,
need to gain a true understanding of
the republic in which the individual is
the key. Our form of government is
only as good as the people in it. Con-
Sequently, it cannot be perfect. But
active and intelligent effort has made
it function in such a manner that it
has been the marvel and the envy of
the world. You hold the future in your
hands. Be crusader for democracy.
Communism lives on lies. 1t corrodes
honor, destroys integrity, and subverts
all the qualities which combine in an
individual to make him, in the truest
sense, a man. Wherever there is an
honest man, there is an island Of
strength. Live honorably.
Lastly, communism wears cloak OF
many colorS. Learn to recognize these
colors, and no act of yours will tend
to bring to fruition the destructive har-
vest which the Communist seeks, and
toward which all his efforts are bent.

Indian Burial Mounds, Long Forgotten,
Once Existed In Orange, Union Twps.

All mounds found in Ohio, includ.
ing the better known and larger ones
in the southern part of the state
bear witness to the civilization of the
prehistoric race which built them.
On opening the mounds, items
found have included mouldering skel-
etons, scattered remnants of earthen.
ware, rude weapons of warfare, axes
of stone, flint, drills, spearheads, bad.
ges and many other specimens OF
stone ornaments, cut and polished
from material rare in the location il
which found.
This has led archaeologists to be,
lieve that the mound builders were 9
migratory people or conquering ma
tion. Some authorities believe that
the race came from central Asia.
Whether they were eventually con.
quered or assimilated by the Indians
is unknown but at one time they liv-
ed on these parts as evidenced by
their burial mounds.

months amounted to S4,400, ,000,0 900,
about the same as in 1852.
Declining farm income has been be-
coming more pronounced every
month, according to agriculture de-
partment spokesmen. In June, for ex-
ample, receipts were down 13 per
cent from the corresponding month
last year.
In the meantime, it was predicted
by the department that the combined
production of crops and livestock this
year will be about the same as in 1852
July crops reports analyzed by the
department show that the crop out
put this year has a good chance of
being the third largest on record.
Production of livestock and livestock
products are likely to be the largest
on record.

Ohio's 55 state parks, many of
them with water recreational areas
for bathing, boating and fishing, are
now receiving the most heavy public
use in their history, reported V. W.
Flickinger, chief of the Division of
Parks of the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources.
He estimated total visitation this
season would top by more than a mil
lion last years all-time record of
S,5O0,000 persons.
The Division of Parks provides, as
far as is practical, safe bathing
beaches, life guard service, zoneC

er emphasized. Pointing out a few
precautions people should take and
citing some of the most frequent vio-
lations, the chief of the Division of
Parks warned, "when some people
get around water, they leave their
common sense behind. They drive
carefully to the lake or stream,
watching red lights and not passing
on curves. They're cautious, sober
citizens until they see water, and
then they drown themselves.
"They may do it by swimming a
lone or in unsupervised areas. They
become overtired or are taken by
cramps in deep water, and that's all!
Or perhaps they dive into strange
waters that contain hidden rocks,
logs, or other debris.
There always seems to be a
strong boy that fancies himself q dis
tance swimmer. But even champions
get cramps. Champions, however,
have a boat accompanying them on
distance swims. Most novices don't
and they may-hseome obituaries in
their hometown papers.
Zone of the greatest water dangers
is horseplay in boats. IT doesn't make
sense, but lot of people doing this
can't even swim. A boat in deep water
is no place for horseplay. Save it
for the beach.

Altho long-since forgotten, Indian
burial mounds were found in the
early days in Union and Orange
townships.
Three of these mounds were locat-
ed northeast of what once was known
as the village of Cannonsburg in
Union township, and another was
found in Orange township.
About four feet in height, maxi
mum, the mounds disappeared in the
early days of farming in this area
Most of the mounds were about 80
feet in diameter.
The mounds in Orange and Union
townships were opened by William M.
Mckinley and Fayette Ballard, who
found human remains in each mound,
also flint arrows and other imple-
ments of stone.
Archaeologists believe that many
other small mounds originally existed
in this area, all traces of which have
long since been obliterated.

Farmers Sell More, But Get Less

Americas farm income during the
first half of this year was down five
per cent from year ago, according

Altho farmers sold more crops and
livestock products than in the first
half of last year prices averaged 10
per cent lower.
Farm income for the six months

livestock and livestock products
amounted to SS,2O0,000,000, or a re-
