three members from your
lodge you can recruit two
members from another
lodge.
Each year we want this
tournament to get bigger and
better, so we need each and
every one of our lodges to get
behind us and push. We want
to show the Home Office that
we Ohioans can get. on the
ball the same as the other
states that have been having
tournaments for years.
We also want to extend our
invitation to all of the lodge
to come to the ban

hold on Saturday and Sunday.
Here you will meet your
friends and relatives, some Of
whom you haven't seen for

Too many people, too many

For a century and a half we

the Founding Fathers. We func-
toned as 4 Republic and with
great benefit to our people. Then
came New Deals, Fair Deals
Screwy Deals and we began to

cess must be halted-we must

taken.

The law has been amended to
permit a qualified elector who
will be unavoidable absent from
his polling place on the day OF
an election due 20 his entry into
a hospital for medical or surgi-
cal treatment to vote by absent
voters ballot. Formerly electors
who were in a hospital within
the county were not permitted
to vote by absent ballot and
were required to vote by dis
abled ballot. Persons voting by
disabled ballot must have their
ballot delivered by the board Of
elections and returned to the
board Of elections by mail or
two assistant clerks employed by
the board for such purpose.
Absent voters may vote their
ballots at the office of the board
of elections, a more simple pro-
cedure than that prescribed for
disabled voters.
Qualified electors who will be
in the hospital on the day of the
election may make application
for their ballots any time after
April 6. Forms for making ap-
plication may be obtained by
writing your local board Of cleo
ions.

Democracy" Here follows just
one paragraph of his utterances,
and with that the prosecution of
Democracy" rests:
Democracy is the power of
numbers. 1t assumes that num-
bers have a right in the nature
of things to rule. Of course, that
is entirely untrue. There is
nobody, who, in the nature of
things ought to rule. The doc
trine thai the voice of the peo-

as silly as the doctrine that the
voice of the autocrat is the voice
of God. No one has right
to rule. It is all a question Of
expediency to get our affairs

Toronto Saturday Night, a BIZ

Toronto Saturday Night, a BIZ
weekly magazine of comments
and opinions, in its November %
issue, lays its finger on one of
the principal reasons for the in
crease of juvenile delinquency in
North America. 1t debunks the
idea, held by many, that ''baby-
sitting contributes to the gen
eral welfare. On the contrary,
the Canadian publication looks
upon it as menace.
It takes note of the rapid post
war growth of "baby-sitting" in
Canada and the U.S.A., that fam
lies are larger than for many
years but that "while pregnancy
may be popular, the dreary bust
ness of looking after the child
once it is born, is not"
Saturday Night attributes this
delinquency on the part of par
ents to their social obligations
which they feel are a must
parties, dinners, the theater, club
activities, etc.! ETC.! Then it
draws the following conclusions:
1T is little wonder that there
has been a breakdown in child
discipline. Parents seem to think
that their obligation ends once
they have co-operated to produce
the children, who must then be
handed over to teachers, baby
sitters and recreation directors,
"These people are not parents
at all. They are simply fertiliz-
ers and hatchers, with all the
social responsibility of cow
birds"
A most damning indictment
but alas, all too true!

submit to higher taxes and adj
ditional controls in order to

These apparent counsels to
collectivism in order to excel it
outweigh, in my estimation,
whatever merit the program had.
It is precisely because we have
had too much paternalism that
we are in our current unenviable
situation. And the chair of the
dog" is no cure. What we need
is not 10 become more like Rus
sia, but more like the nation
under God that the Founding
Fathers were reaching for when
they staked their lives on the

hear will be about increased govern
ment spending for big build-up III
the defense program.
Probably none of the orators will
say anything about how a big increase
in spending is to be financed, yet
that is almost as important as build
ing intercontinental missiles. VIII
il mean more taxes, or more debt!
That is a question to be faced,
sooner or later, and the man who IS
expected to provide the answer Is
quiet Arkansasan named Wilbur
Daigh Mills, Representative from
the Second District of Arkansas
and new chairman Of the House
Wavs and Means Committee.
This is the committee through
which all tax and fiscal policies must
first clear before reaching con-
gressional debate. 1t has first
jurisdiction over all revenue egisla-
ton. Mr.. Mills has been member
for Is years.
I have known Wilbur Mills for
the entire 20 years he has been a
member of Congress, and my estima-
ton of his ability and integrity has
grown in each of those years. At
4S years of age, he is one of the
Youngest and most capable com
mittee chairman under a seniority
system that gives years OF service
priority over ability. Fortunately,
Mr.. Mills has both.
Probably no man in Congress, and
few, If any, men in the country know
more about taxation and fiscal policy
than Mr.. Mills. In those matters
he has the respect and complete
confidence of members OF both
parties in Congress.
Little given to old-fashloned
oratory, Mr.. Mills relies instead on
thorough knowledge of his subject,
painstaking preparation and clear,
convincing delivery to win the
support of his colleagues in Congress.
Some of them have told Us there
have been times when they followed
| his advice against warnings that to
do so was "bad politics." but that
invariably his advice was both sound
and good politics.
An example of this occurred last
spring when Democratic leadel2
decided it would be good idee 90
put a tax-relief bill through the
House and have it ready for Senate
action in the 1868 congressional
election year.
Mr.. Mills torpedoed that move
by holding hearings of Fiscal Policy
subcommittee, of which he was
chairman, and producing expert
witnesses to show that tax cuts in s
period of declining revenues anC
rising expenditures would be fiscally
irresponsible and politically unwise
Events have shown that MIR. Mill!
was far-sighted in his action.
| Mr.. Mills was born at Kensett
Ark, the son of a country banker
and graduated from Hendrix COLLEGE
and Harvard University Law School
He hung out his shingle in 1888 anc
was elected county Judge in 1884
He was elected to Congress in 1888
and has been reelected nine times
Physically, he is 5 feet, eigh
