KNOW YOUR
ELECTIONLAWS

In discussing the evolution of
the ballot and the process of
voting in this series, the past
few weeks, it is quite patent that
Ohio has always been forward
looking in these matters.
Not only have model laws been
recommended to the Legislature
during recent years, which were
enacted, but every effort is made
to liminate laxity and fraud in
the handling of elections. An
Ohioan's ballot is truly secret!
Many of the more populous
areas have had voter registration
for number of years and each
year finds more counties adopt
ing this procedure. There are %
counties in Ohio which have
registration in all their precincts
and II others have registration
in a portion of the county.
There are 13 counties which
will use voting machines in the
coming November election.
While the adoption of registra-
ton and the use of voting
machines are purely matters for
local decision, there is no doubt
that both have contributed much
toward the efficiency of elections
and in safeguarding against
fraud

But the fact is, as pointed out
by DR.. Lawrence c. Lockley,
Dean of the S. c. School of Com
merce, that the American people
are currently undergoing ''na
tional 'goofing off period of
monumental proportions.
Edmund Fuller, in "Man in
Modern Fiction" speaking of
Jack Kerouac's "On the Road"
which he presents as typical of
much of current fiction, says,
From start to finish it's "a
real going goofballg.' Everybody

mad sex. They are smoking
'tea,' occasionally sticking NOR
phine, taking goofballs, benny,
and liquor, all in blur of maud
lin philosophy
"The whole thing adds UP to
the great American goof-off, as
source of pride"
If it isn't already too late, I
think we'd better do some pretty
serious reflecting on these things.

remarks to get you started, you

HOW STRONG is
THE FOUNDATION?

What is the greatest danger
facing America today? Is it the
goddess materialism represented
by Krushchev? Or is it the god
less materialism of America
herself? Is the possibility of an
atomic bomb coming down upon
us or the possibility of our foun-
dation crumbling out from. under
us the greater threat?
A recent survey by the Gilbert
Youth Research Company re-
portedly found that 500 of II
year-old to 22-yeaI- old children
of Protestants do not attend
church regularly, and fewer than
1870 consider themselves ''religi-
ous." Less than 800 of those
surveyed passed a simple test
on the Bible. Not one in ten
could name Plate as the one who
turned Christ over to His cruci-
fiersl
1t was William Lyon Phelps,
Yale University professor of
Literature, who said, if he had
to choose between thorough
knowledge of the Bible and
college education, he would take
the Bible every time.
Andrew Jackson declared, '1t
(the Bible) is the rock on which
our republic rests"
These are solemn words-and
they are true. Think then-the
youth of today are the founda
ton of Americas future. They
have deep hungers. l firmly be-
ieve they would like to build a
better world than we are leav-
ing them. But if they are un-
acquainted with the Bible. where
and how will they develop the
spiritual strength on which their
dreams and the survival of our
country depends?

grains, enough to last us about
two years.
The remarkable part Of it is that
this record has been established by
the fewest number of farmers in
more than IS years on the smallest
number of planted acres since the
Civil War. We have, in fact, learned
to produce not two but three blades
of grass where one grew before.
Cost of Plenty
Most Americans, unfortunately,
emphasize the ''cost" of this super
abundance without stopping to
think about the benefits. We are
spending about SIS billion a year
on all types Of so-called farm
programs.
But farm prices of foods and
fibers have not, because Of the large
supplies, gone up comparable to
other living costs. Had food costs
gone up as much as automobiles.
for example, the past 10 years our
annual food bill would have been
SIS billion a year more than it Is.
The SIS billion a year is money
well spent to assure the American
people the best and cheapest-in
hours worked-food and clothing
in the world. Moreover, about
one-third of that is the cost Of
sending food and fibers to the less
fortunate people in other parts Of
the world.
We should be thankful for the
bountiful harvest which God and
Mother Nature has bestowed upon
us, rather than being resentful. We
should be grateful that no American
ever need to go to bed hungry,
thanks to the best farmers in the
world.

In Washington last week the U. S.
Department of Agriculture reported
that American farmers this year
will establish a new all-time record
high production of foods and tlberS.
In most nations this would have
been good news and an occasion
for feaSting and rejoicing that the
harvest had been SO bountiful. 1t
would have meant genuine relief
from the ever-present fear OF hunger.
To farmers in those countries
the bumper crops would have meant
increased profits and prestige. The
government would honor them and
the people would be pleased and
appreciative.
In Washington this week the
reaction to the news that farmers
are producing more than we can
eat, wear and export during the
next Il months was anything but
joyous.
What A Differencel
Washington is neither pleased
nor appreciative of the record
harvest. 1t has spent billions OF
dollars in an effort to reduce
production, and it will have to
spend more billions to dispose of
the surplus.
Already there are more than So
billion worth of farm commodities
stacked up in government-leased
warehouses, cold storage plants and
under loan on farms. More billions
will be added to that Stockpile
during the next few weeks.
