Washington Letter - BY Robert Nelson Toylor

the history of the Republic that
would be fair to its young manhood.
eRa
Remote Control
In his first press conference since
his return from the NATO Council
meetings in Paris, Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles implied
strongly that any war in Europe
from here on would be an atomic
war. But the rules will be different
at least for the Western powers.
U. S. forces in Europe are
presently equipped with atomic
weapons such as the 20 millimeter
cannon and the MatadOr pilOtless
plane, and will have still others as
they become available. Military
commanders can plan the use of
these weapons, but authority to
use them must come from the heads
Of civil government. In other words.
the battery commander in the field
can point and train guns-and per-
haps load them-but Washington
Tin the case Of U. S. troOps) must
pull the lanyard We understand,
however, that the routine Of atomic
authorization for such weapons as
these has now been streamlined so
that in an emergency a commanding
officer can obtain this permission
almost instantly.
But these are what are known as
tactical weapons, which, Mr.. Dulles
emphasized are in a different class
from strategic atomic weapons. And
while the firing of any atomic
weapon is a Sgrave decision" and
not for soldiers to make; the stra-
tegic use of nuclear devices for
mass destruction, Mr.. Dulles said,
could not be anticipated. Such ques-
tions would have to be considered
as situations arose. We do not
know whether such decisions would
involve tossing a coin. holding a
meeting Of the Security Council
and/or the NATO Council or a two
thirds vote of Congress.
When Mr.. Dulles says that the
report of the Paris Council meeting
shows for the first time the means
of developing a forward strategy
which could be replied upon to pro-
tect Western Europe from inva-
siOn," he is utterlng brave words.
And when he adds that under the
new unity ''if aggression
should be attempted, it would be
thrown back at the Threshold" ne
seems to be under tho imnressiOn
at the enemy would also play
under the new NATO rules.
The one clear eertainty that
@merges from between the lines Ol

that civilization has created

BABSON DISCUSSES BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL
FORECAST FOR 1855

1. GENERAL BUSINESS. Despite
walls from some quarters, 1854 saw
drop in the average Physical
Volume of Business Of only SO from
the record year 1858. 1855 could see
a rise of about the same amount.
Certainly, the direction Of business
until mid-1955 will be upward.
2. BUSINESSMEN. WILL WAKE
UP. During 1854 many businessmen
rediscOvered the meaning Of the
word competition. Sales will con-
tinue to be made only with real
effort in most lines.
3. CONSUMPTION OUTLOOK.
Consumption in a number of lines
has been proceeding at d more
rapid rate than has production. /
forecast a better record in early
1855 for both steel and automobiles.
4. TEXTILE INDUSTRY. Textile
industry operated at extremely low
levels throughout most Of 1854. Coal
and railroad equipment also exerted
a strong dOwnpuu. forecast that
the textile and coal industries will
he in a recovery phase after their
long stay in the dOldrums.
5. PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION I
forecast that home building and
general construction will be some
what lower in 1855 than in 1854,
but this important industry should
still operate at high levels next
year
6. PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION. I
forecast that public construction
viii increase during 1855. This
should mean a rise in the output Of
cement.
ZAGRICULTUR EQUIP
Milford chronicle., 1954-12-31

MENT. This industry has ben suf-
fering from a decline in demand but
should now improve. Government
sponsored planting curtailment and
crop loans have reduced free sup
plies, and may make for higher
agricultural prices later in 1866.
8. ARMAMENT INDUSTRY. The
armament industry will still be one
of the main floors beneath the econ
Omy The electrical and chemical
industries will move at a rate close
to that of 1854.
8. OTHER INDUSTRIES. I am
somewhat optimistic on, clothing,
aircraft manufacturing, airline
transportation, Office equipment,
electricity output, petroleum pro-
duction, natural gas, and shoes. 1
am also fairly bullish on rubber,
paper, electrical equipment, GER
n2in types of building, and nom
ferrous metals.
10. WEATHER CONDITIONS II
is foolish for me to attempt to fore
cast rains, drOughts, frosts, etc.
Ior any special section. However.
taking the nation as whole, / look
for better weather in 1855.
IL RETAIL SALES. I forecast
tnat the outlook for retail sales "a
encouraging, at least through the
first half Of 1856.
II. PROFITS. Stiffening com
petition is chipping away at the
pfont margin. Return on invested
capital IS in lOng-term downtrend.
Ihe first few years after World
War were the golden years for the
novice IN busines and for the in-

efficient. Those days are gone for
awhile.
13. SELECTIVITY. Higher labor
and other costs, plus intensified
competition, will continue during
1855. forecast a higher degree of
selectivity in the effect of this trend
on individual activities and com
panies. Victory will be for the
nimble and for the strong!
IA. DIVIDENDS. Recent high ex-
penditures for new plant and ma
chinery have left some concerns
with very high depreciation charges.
AS new capital commitments are
cut and depreciation remains high,
cash inflow could expand. Such
companies should be able to pay
out in dividends a higher percent
age of earnings in 1855 than in re-
cent years, Notwithstanding
moderate profits shrinkage.
is. INVENTORIES. Inventories
have been permitted to run down
during 1854. AS total business ex-
pands, there will be a tendency to
replace reduced stocks, especially
during the first half Of 1865. Total
manufacturers inventories, how
ever, may build up more rapidly
than total business inventories. L
forecast that total wholesale and
total retail inventories will show
little change from 1854 levels.

Amount OF Protein
Depends On ROughage

What kind and how much pro-
tein do my COWS need? This Ques-
tion is one that crops up wherever
dairymen meet George X. Vapaa,
Kent County agent, say it all de-
pends.
It depends both on the quality
and amount of roughage you have
available. For example, if you have
all the luxurient pasture COWS will
eat, a 10 per cent crude protein
grain feed is high enough. This is
true, Vapaa points out, because
rapidly growing pasture plants
contain large amounts Of protein.
If your winter roughage is made
up of some high quality legume
hay and silage, or all excellent
hay, and you feed all your COWS
viii eat, then about 1874 per cent
crude protein grain is sufficient.
On the other hand, says Mr..
Yapaa, if you are one Of the many
farmers who doesn't have all the
hay, or hay and silage combination
your cows will eat (or what you
do have is Of poor quality. then
the protein content Of the grain
ration will have to be higher.
Usually 16 per cent crude pro-
tein feed is enough unless the
roughage is very" poor. or the
amount Of good rOughage Is very
limited. It is usually better to in
crease to the amount Of grain fed
than TO boost the protein content
above 16 per cent.
Cows do not usually need differ
ent kinds Of protein feed "a their
diets; but when extremely poor
quality roughage is fed it IS pos
sible that a variety Of proteins ia I
the grain ration may be Beneficial.

RENEWING THE BODY CELLS

Inc science OF dletetlcS, like all medical
science, has made remarkable strides in a
comparatively brief period of time. Great
new discoveries have appeared ; old and wide
ly held illusions have been dissipated.
One Of the most important DEVELOPMENTS
has to do with meat. 1t is known that high
proportion OF meat in the diet is conducive
to both physical and mental health and vigOr
This was dramatically proven during the war
the Army diet was heavy in meat content
and superior endurance and fighting ability
IN the soldier was the result.
1t is also known that meat is often great
and In promoting recovery from illness and
from operations. And it is needed by old peo-
'tea and toast fare that so many of
us used to think safe and adequate for the
aged was actually starvation diet.
Meats value lies in the fact that it is one
OF the limited number of sources of whole
proteln-and it is the one which most people
ma palatable once or more day.
Now still another discovery emphasizes
the Importance of meat. 1t has long been be-
leved that the human body replaces itself
over a seven-year span. Atomic scientists
have learned, however, that all but two per
cent OF the body cells are replaced each year.
The most important part in this process is
played by protein. And protein is not. stored
m the body, as is fat, and so should be con-
tlnually and frequently renewed.

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

With the May Primaries con-
cluded, queries about campaign
expenditures indicate that infor
nation regarding the filing OF
these expenses may be of inter
est not only to the candidates but
to the public as well.
All candidates at the May
Election shall file with their
County Board of Elections a full,
itemiZed statement of their cam
paign expenditures not later
than 4 p. m, May IA, the tenth
day after the election. The Ohio
law stipulates that mo certificate
Of nomination-shall be issued
to a person" until the candidate
has filed such a statement.
Congressional candidates file
their statements of expenditure
with the Secretary of State. This
is an exception to the general
rule that district candidates file
statements with the Board of
Election of the most populous
county in the district. Candidates
for offices which are voted upon
only within the county, file their
statements with the County
Board of Elections.
The law sets maximum
amounts which candidates for
public offices may spend. Gen
orally speaking, this amount is
based on the subdivision in
which the candidacy is voted
upon. That is, candidates for all
state offices, other than the Of
flee Of governor, may spend
$1,000; whereas, candidates for
county, township, or municipal
offices, where the total vote for
governor was five thousand or
less at the last state election,
may spend $500. An extra $500
for each one hundred votes for
governor over the five thousand
figure is allowed for county.
township, and municipal offices,
The Legislature has thus consid-
cred both the size and population
of the territory in determining
the maximum amount candidates
may spend in seeking nomina-
ton or election.

Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

Question: Two questions this
time that are so much alike that
we will answer them together.
They are, What about women
and girls wearing slacks ana
dressing like men?'
DO you think a born-again
Christian woman would dress
like a man." In Deut, 22:5, we
read THE woman shall not wear
that which pertaineth unto a
man, neither shall a man put on
a woman's garment: for all that
do so are abomination unto the
Lord thy God" From this scrip
ture it would seem to me that if
anything is an abomination unto
the Lord that Christian people
would surely keep away from
it, and surely this verse shows
that such dressing is out of order
for a child of God. 1t becomes a
moral question, and one of pro-
priety. But l have a clipping
form the Wesleyan Methodist OF
March "a, 1854, which answers
this question from an angle, not
necessarily moral nor scriptural.
Noticed this article written by
Edna Wright and entitled Blue
jeans banned in Chicago School" "
A little long but here it is, "The
sloppy joe style of blue jeans
and mems shirts sported by some
girls, is one of the reasons for
the rowdy conduct that is bring
ing them into juvenile courts.
That's the theory of Clarence B.
Carey, director of the Jones
Commercial high school OF Chi
cago.
Carey believe there's a direct
link between dress and conduct
with youngsters boys and
girls They act like they look
he says. He claims that because
the Jones school has emphasized
normal garb for its students, it
is one of the few that has never
had a disciplinary problem or
suffered damage from vandalism.

Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

l have delayed writing this
column until after the Youth
Banquet in Caldwell on Monday.
1t was thrilling to me to watch
the young people work SO effici-
emily and accomplish what they
did. Many thanks to all the sub
district council members and
others who made the banquet a
success despite the few numbers.
Most certainly, sincere words of
appreciation for the years work
as president and several years
of faithful work on the council,
are extended to Janet King.
For some of you youth who are
MYERS, you missed thrilling
message from our Japanese
speaker. Nivk Yasumura related
many of his experiences as a
japanese suicide pilot; had spent
l0 hours swimming in a cold sea
after the boat which he was on,
got torpedoed. Through these
experiences, Nick who was the
son of Baptist preacher in
Japan, had come to a more vital
Christian faith. He really gave us
a challenge as Americans who
practice racial segregation and
whose concept of democracy is
Americanism and not true demo-
cracy - that we have a tend
ency to pigeon-hole people into
blacks, whites, Americans, for
eignors etc"
The youth in particular may be
interested in our new officers for
next year: president, Karen Col
ley of Belle Valley; vice presi-
dent and outreach chairman,
Buddy Farmhouse of Caldwell;
Judy Smith, secretary and treas
urer; Carolyn Moore of Dexter
City, citizenship and faith; and
Mary Jane Thomas, Hoskinsville,
as Christian Fellowship chair
man.
Next week there will be no
column from yours truly as
leave on this Thursday for Ken
lucky and Tennessee. Mabel and
have eight places on our itin-
erary; visiting mostly in and
around the Smokey Mountain
region churches, church CEN
ters, TVVA projects etc. You'll
be hearing a great deal about our
visits when we come back in
ten days. Until then, and in the
words of st. Paul "Be of one
mind, live in peace; and the
God of love and peace shall be
with you"

On Being Meek

Blessed are the meek: for
they shall inherit the earth" -
Matthew SIS.
With the words of our text
Jesus tells us that happiness is
enjoyed by the meek.
Meekness is nildness, gentle
ness, calmness, evenness of
tmper. 1t is the opposite of
quarrelsome and revengeful
spirit. It includes the idea Of
submission. Such a characteris-
tic is not native to man. It is too
easy for any of us to "blow our
top" We pride ourselves on say
ing what we think - having no
consideration for others. Too
many times we become inpati-
ent with the other fellow. The
thinking of the average man
causes him to ride roughshod
over anyone who appears to op-
pose him. Man is proud by ma
ture. Pride causes one to be in
considerate.
The words of our text do not
infer that one should not ger
NIT himself to become angry.
There may be circumstances
that may cause one to be angry,
but the Word of God (Ephesians
4:26) tells US to "be ye angry,
and sin not: let not the sun go
down upon your wrath" One
can be angry and yet meek.
AS toward God, meekness
accepts His dealings without
mnrmer or resistance as absolu-
tely good and wise. AS toward
man, it accepts opposition, insult
and provocation, as Gods per
mitted ministers of chastening
demanded by the infirmity and
corruption OF SIM"
Such a characteristic is not
natural to us, but it can be
acquired. Jesus said, Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for l am meek and lowly in
heart: and We shall find rest
unto your souls" Matthew 11:29.
A day-by day walk with Jesus
Christ - letting Him be Lord of
our lives - will teach us the
lessons of humility and meek
ness.
The Holy Spirit indwells the
one who openly acknowledges
Jesus Christ as Lord (Romans
8:9), and permitting the Holy
Spirit to have complete control
viii result with several other
characteristics in meekness, be-
cause the fruit of the Spirit
is meekness. ." - Galatians
5:22, %.
Although men may not under
stand and may call the meek
person crazy" yet Jesus said
that such a one would be "bless-
ed happy" For the meek shall
inherit the earth. Gods richest
blessings are theirs for time
and eternity. Roy E. Wikander
