Forestry Officials Are
Hopeful For Less Fires

Forestry officials have their
fingers crossed; they're hoping
they won't have a disastrous fire
season like the one experienced
last year. Then there were 1,243
individual fires, with 1,051 of
them in the first six months.
During the year 1926 acres of
forest and farm land were des-
trOyed.
The figures, compiled by Bob
Redett, in charge of protection
for the division of Forestry, show
that fire fighters were busiest
during March and April. There
were $50 blazes in March and
345 in April.
As in usually the case, debris
burning was responsible for Csc
fires during the year followed by
smoking, 259; railroads, 105; in
cendiary, SO; campfires, II
lightning, 4 and miscellaneous
145.
According to Redett, "a signi-
ficant factor in the large number
of fires last March and Apri
was the warm, humid weather
Most Of these fires could have
been prevented, however. Viola.
tors of Ohio's forest fire laws
were directly responsible fol

A. - A housewife or any other
person who qualities for Social
Security checks based on her
own work will draw a payment,
the amount of which is deter
mined by the amount of wages
she has earned. If this amount is
less than p of her husbands
benefit, she will receive an ad-

5eGetary OF State
PresUibes Ballots
For MAY ) Primary

Secretary of State Ted w
Browns travelling office" idea
which he adopted in 1852 and
has used continuously since, as
a method of interviewing pros
pective boards of elections ap-
piontees and to make it easy for
the PUBLIC to confer with him
in various areas without making
long trips to Columbus, has been
duplicated by other officials in
Ohio and elsewhere.
The latest interest comes from
Hawaii, the nations newest state.
A request for the details of the
travelling office" idea and its
accomplishments from Albert p
Madeiro, assistant to 1t. Gov
ernor James Keoloha brought
Browns ready "kokua' (HaWai-
ian for assistance).
In prescribing the ballot for
the May 3 primaries Tuesday,
Secretary Brown is bearing in
mind the early preparation and
printing of the rather complex
ballots so that they may be ready
for absentee voters, especially
those in the armed services who
require considerable time to get
ballots to and from their far
flung bases.
The secretary of state is cur
rently delivering to boards of
elections copies for the 1860
Precinct Officials Guide, an
easy-to-read explanation of the
duties of those who will serve
in the more than $4,000 polling
places in the May and November
elections.
Other guides-the Candidates
Guide, Voters Guide and Presi
dental Election Guide-already
are in distribution and are re-
ceiving great public demand.
With the retirement of Jesse
T. Lands as a member of the
Miami county board Of elections
at the end of this month after Al
years of continuous service, the
question has arisen in the state
office as to whether anyone can
top this record.

That Eleventh Commandment

The much-publicized and con-
troversial Bishop James A. Pike
recently submitted to a conVoca-
tion Of clergymen an Eleventh
Commandment: Thou shalt read
the daily newspaper carefully
every day" This, along with more
specifically religious discipIines
is supposed to provide "thc best
preparation for preaching
Certainly God speaks to men
in everyday experiences, and
certainly the eternal message
needs to be "related to the cur
rent personal and social scene. y
Yes, we should read the daily
news.
Yet nothing seems less becOm-
ing to religion than too much
infaction with the passing head
line parade of mOnOtonouSly re-
peated scandals, crimes, disasters,
and political maneuvcrS. The
excitement of the latest sensation
. is not enlightenment; the new
est news is not knowledge; the
Welter of world affairs is not
wisdom.
What is needed, rather, is deep
er understanding of abiding prin-
ciples, values and verities with
which to know what the passing
parade MEANS, and what ouI
lives mean in the fact Of it, That
is the business of religion! If
clergymen don't give it, who
else?
May we submit a better com
mandment: Thou shalt dig to the
deeper levels of meaning, where,
by life may find its true direc-
ton and uplifting significance
amid the daily darkness, and Sc
have light!

Dissecting Democracy

Felix Morley, in his new book,
Freedom and Federalism (Reg-
merry, $500, has supplied Ameri-
can with 300 pages of the kind
of wisdom the "liberals' are sure
to try to kill by silence, but
which everyone seeking under
standing will cherish.
With perception and historic
perspective DR.. Morley tells how
our federal republic has been
slowly, often unWittingly, often
deliberately, eroded by the idea
of democracy"
The Founding Fathers feared
democracy. The reason: the his
tory of democracies has always
been one Of seIf-destruction and
final tyranny as majorities, led
by demagOgueS, ride rOugh-ShOd
over the undefended rights OF
individuals and minOritieS.
It was to save us from this that
the trainers of the Constitution
carefully provided a government
of balanced, limited powers, with
guarantee of God-given right
which no majority may violate
What this federal system
means to all of us, and what we
need to understand if we are tc
resist the drift toward centralized
power SO cleverly disguised un.
der the name Of democracy,
Felix Morley's book makes re-
markably clear. I have seldom
read a book | can recommend
SO urgently!

SERMONETTE -


they feed SO many with SO little?
After seating the people, Jesus
took the loaves and fishes gave
thanks to the Father, and distri-
buted them to the disciples, who,
in turn, distributed them to the
people. The people were salts
fled, and there was a surplus of
twelve baskets of loaveS.
While this record of the feed
ing of the five thousand is an
other bit of evidence presented
to prove that Jesus 'is the Christ,
the Son of God; and that believ-
ing ye might have life through
His name," we also see that there
are other practical truths that we
should accept. First, we note that
while Jesus recognized that many
of the multitude had a physical
need, He also knew that they
had a spiritual need. 1t is not
enough to heal the sick or to
alleviate the burdens of the
afflicted. There is the need of
realing with that which is more
important, basically, that is the
spiritual needs of people-their
personal relationship to God.
Thus we have a responsibility to
deal with them concerning the
kingdom of God, which ''is not
meat and drink; but righteous
ness, and peace, and JOY in the
Holy Ghost (Romans 14:1O. On
the other hand we cannot preach
to people concerning a life of
righteousness, peace and joy in
the Holy Ghost unless we are
ready and able to prove to them
the reality of our profession by
a genuine concern for their we'll
| being
Another practical truth that
we CLEAN from this incident is
that, for those who are willing
to commit their lives to Christ,
my God shall supply all your
need according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus" (Philip-
, plans 4:19).
Still another lesson which we
have learned from this record
is that when we are willing to
yield our all, no matter how little
or insignificant it may seem to
be, to Christ. He can increase its
usefulness to the blessings of
hundreds and thousands. Also,
when one is willing to let the
Lord take what he has, others
can perform a more effective
ministry under the direction of
Jesus Christ.
There is also another thought
that is presented here. One has
| no reason to fear that he will
lose out" or will suffer depriva-
ton if gives what he has to the
further the work of God in Jesus
Christ. In fact such a one re-
Ceives more from God in return
than what he had given. He does
exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think. "He that
hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Lord; and that which
he hath gifen will He repay
again proverbs 1910. Cast
thy bread upon the waters: for
thou shalt find it after many
days" (Ecclesiastes lid. Second
Corinthians 9:6-8 is another New
Testament passage that emphas-
ICES this truth.

Invitation Problem
One Of the problems which
Mr.. Eisenhower and his advis-

on inviting men like Mr.. Mas
ser and Marshal Tito to Wash

government leaders without
asking all Of them-apart
from men like Mr.. Khrushchev
and Premier Fidel Castro of
Cuba.
The tentative nlans for talks
in New York was said to offer a
way out since the whole idea
would be much less formal
than would invitations to vari-
GUS individuals to visit Wash

bodyguards are not as profess

Security officials doubt if they
will get as much cooperation

Can't Garry Guns
In any event, no Cuban,
Soviet or other foreign body
guards will be permitted to
carry guns in New York. They
will be invited to deposit their

in New York. If one should

1t was explained that the
main job of protecting all the

police because they alone have
the needed manpower and fa-
