THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. For the Record: In 1940, and repeated as late as 1944, Stalin declared that a Com munist state was never safe until the whole world was Communist. The diplomatic rat race, started by Russia, is on. History will re cord the unspeakable tactics to snare the support of Germans as an atrocity of peace. The allied diplo matic throat slitting (while promis ing to revive Naziland’s power) not only emphasizes their split — also underlines the cleavage between FDR’s foreign policy and the zig zagging now practiced by America’s leaders. Roosevelt said: “As for Germany, that tragic nation which has sown the wind and is now reaping the whirl wind—we and our allies are en tirely agreed that we s’"'ll not bargain with the German con spirators, or leave them a shred of control—open or secret—of the instruments of gov’t. We shall not leave them a single element of military power—or of poten tial military power.” From a front page story in the New York Herald Tribune of Janu ary 1 1945: “Allied supreme head quarters, confirming reports from the front of a mass slaughter by the Germans of American soldier pris oners, issued today an official state ment which said that 115 Americans were murdered in this way soon after the German counter-offensive began. The statement (issued after an investigation) said the Ameri cans captured near Malmedy, Bel gium, were lined up in ranks six deep and were mowed down by ma chine-gun fire.” But a year and a half later American diplomats are ready to treat German soldiers like allies! There is nothing so hypocritical and stupid as the current syrupy drooling by allied diplomats about tne difference between “The Ger man people’’ and the Nazis. ‘‘The German people” is the most obnox ious type of weasel-wording. . . . Naziism is merely a new label for ancient German venom. One of Germany’s military heroes is Gen eral Count von Haesler. He once declared: “It is necessary that our civil ization build its temple on moun tains of corpses, on an ocean of tears and on the death cries of men and women without numbers. Germany must rule the inferior races of the world!” He said that in 1893! Bec’y Byrnes’ naive bubbling that the Germans will behave like good little rodents if they are gifted with democracy, must make intelligent citizens shudder. Germans had a taste of democracy during the days of the Weimar republic — after the First World war. They promply spit it out and swallowed Naziism. Allied hop-heads .. w are cooing with Nazi militarists. But it’s safer to tangle with a cobra than clutch the paw of a Junker killer. In 1944 Field Marshal von Rundstedt issued a secret report to German generals that stated: “With the booty we have ac cumulated, the enfeebling of two generations of enemy manpower and the destruction of their in dustries, we shall be better placed to conquer in 25 years than we were in 1939. We don’t have to fear peace condi tions analogous to those which we have Imposed because our adversaries will always be div ided. Their disunity will force them to fight each other, and Germany will play one side against the other.” Allied plans to rebuild German in dustries must have been inspired by the ghost of Hitler. When the Nazi military machine cracked, leading German industrialists held a secret meeting on “August 10, 1944— and blueprinted strategy for mobil izing German industry for the Third World war. The following news clipping should be on the desk of every dele gate at the Paris conference. It was published in the January 29, 1930, issue of the German zeitung, “Volk- ischer Beobachter”: “Germany can have only one ardent wish, namely, that the spirit of misfortune should hover over every allied confer ence, that discord shall arise therefrom, and that finally a world peaee which would other wise ruin our nation should dis solve in blood and fire.” From a speech by Adolf Hitler.

Settlement House Golden Jubilee of Founder Remains ^ Observes F ounding As Lone Director For 50-year Span To the people of Cleveland, Ohio, Hiram House is synony mous with good citizenship. For the past 50 years, Hiram House and its founder, George A. Bellamy, have labored to build for Cleveland the finest kind of citizens possible. Now the institution, which is sup ported by the Community Chest, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding. This year also marks the golden anniversary of Bellamy’s connection with the institution. He has the distinction of being not only the founder but also the first and only director. Bellamy’s philosophy was devel oped in the backwoods of Michigan, where he was born. In bringing his ideas and ideals to one of the coun try’s larger cities he became the first of his family to pioneer in a large community. All previous moves by his family had been back to the land. Founded In 1896. Cleveland’s first settlement house founded as such grew out of a chance remark made in 1896 in a Hiram college classroom. Boston’s South End House was unde:: dis cussion and someone said, "Why not a Hiram House for Cleveland?” That “someone” was George Bel lamy. A few months after his graduation he went to Cleveland and IN A DAY’S WORK ...A game of checkers provides diversion for “young fry” at Hiram House, Clevelands settlement house. The program isn’t all play, however .. , opened his first settlement house at 143 Orange street. The first few months were hectic. There was very little money; the first furniture—and for a time the only furniture— was a baby crib and table loaned by a neighbor; the pur chase of a quarter’s worth of soap brought half a dozen metal spoons as a premium: within a few months the landlord gave notice to vacate because too many young people were com ing to the house and he feared for its foundations. The struggling little settlement house was moved to another Orange street location, where it operated for two years. By 1899 there was enough money to start building a new structure. The move to the new quarters at 2723 Orange avenue was made in 1900. Teaches Americanism. Men, women and children came to Hiram House in droves—from its GOOD CITIZEN . . . Just out of college, George Bellamy founded Hiram House in 1896. For half a century he has remained as the first and only director of the in stitution, known for its promotion of good citizenship in Cleveland. first day of operation. They came to learn how to be good Americans, for help in burying their dead, mar rying the living and counselling the wayward. Gradually, Hiram House began to build a reputation as a model settle ment house, its founder and direc tor a man with extraordinary vision. Foreign countries began to send their representatives to the Cleve land settlement to study its pro gram. More than 200 scientists in terested themselves in Bellamy’s seven-point program for the growth and development of the child. When, in 1906, Hiram House opened “Progress City,” a model community with its own boy judges, . . . for children also are taught the rudiments of sewing and other household arts. As summertime comes, the sewing basket is discard ed when . . , policemen, engineers and mayor, various cities studied its program with the thought of incorporating its best ideas in their own plan ning. Two representatives of the President of Czechoslovakia later lived at Hiram House for months, studying “Progress City.” A little model cottage was built on the sand dunes of Cairo, Egypt, pat terned after the model cottage at Hiram House. Japan, 20 years ago, studied Hiram House with the view of copying its best points. Hiram House and George Bel lamy have chalked up many “firsts” in their 50-year association. It was the first settlement in the world hav ing a year-round, lighted play ground with trained workers; this settlement inaugurated summer camping for healthy children whe had never seen a woods or a farm animal; it had among the first cook ing, sewing and manual training classes in Cleveland; studies made by Hiram House workers resulted in public bath houses for the city and improved standards for its public dance halls. Aids Other Projects. Bellamy has become famous for his association with movements de signed to make Cleveland a better place in which to live. He was one of the original committee which organized the Babies’ dispensary and hospital; he helped organize the Juvenile court, the Legal Aid society. Citizens’ bureau and Cleve land Community Chest, the first community fund in the world and since adopted by more than 800 American cities. Because of the early help he received from them, Bellamy always has cherished a deep af fection for country people and small town churches. In his struggling early years at Hiram House, it was the little churches surrounding Cleveland whose pennies, nickels and dimes helped keep the city settlement houses going. The people in the small towns near his camp for well children at Chagrin Falls gave him his original op portunity to introduce poor boys and girls from the city’s streets to the joys of country living. When Hiram House was opened in 1896 Cleveland’s population was 300,000. Today the city boasts a population of a million persons. Among that million are many thou sands whose lives were influenced during their early years by contact with Hiram House. These include some of Cleveland’s outstanding business and professional men. More than 90,000 persons, in all, have been associated with Hiram House clubs and classes during the settlement’s half century. Many of these persons made scores of visits to the house, annual registration running as high as 450,000 to 500,000. . . . the date arrives for the settle ment’s annual summer camp at Chagrin Falls. Here boys and girl* joyfully bid farewell to cohorts leaving in the first bus. ENVY OF WOMEN Oldest Man Doesn't Look His Age CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — Oldest man in the United States—100,035 years old, more or less—doesn’t look his age. The ancient pilgrim, now at Har vard’s Peabody museum, where he was shipped from London in pack ing cases and English cigaret boxes, was found in a cave on Mt. Carmel in Palestine, part of the “richest find of Neanderthal man specimens ever made.” One hundred thousand years ago, according to his discoverer, Dr. Theodore McCown, professor of an thropology at University of Califor nia, the ancient man lived in the old Stone Age until he reached 35 years. In forgotten forests, he hunt ed the fallow deer, the wild ox and the wild pig. Now his are the oldest bones in the United States, says Dr. Mc Cown. The old hunter is not “a direct ancestor of existing human beings,” according to Dr. McCown, who ex plains that anthropologists set the origin of modern man at about 25,000 years ago. “He just looks like us,” he adds. He liked beefsteak, rare. Found in the cave with his bones were many bones of wild oxen in condi tion to indicate they were food, not pets. NEW YORK.—If Hollywood were seeking a movie sleuth, probably the last man the casting directors would look at is George Henry Lamb. Yet Lamb has a spectacular record in the detective field. For 28 years the nervous, be spectacled little man of 60 has been boss and one-man posse of the Queens County Abandonment bu reau. In that role he has tracked down more than 2,000 fathers wanted for deserting their children. He has pursued them in 48 states as well as Cuba, Canada and Mexico. Brought to London during war years for study by Dr. McCown and Sir Arthur Keith, anthropologist of the Royal College of Surgeons, the Neanderthal bones were shaken by a direct bomb hit on the college dur ing the Nazi blitz. ■ The old hunter was unhurt! “Bloodhound” Lamb, wiry and short, looks and talks like a clerk or a Sunday school teacher. He virtually commutes to Califor nia—which seems to attract family deserters like syrup does flies—and recently returned from there with his record one-trip catch of nine straying fathers. Sixteen others set tled by handing over enough money to support their children, an ar rangement which Lamb prefers over arrest. “A father in jail is worse than no father at all,” is his philosophy. Sleuth Nabs 2,000 Deserting Dads Gold Medal Driver, Husband Admits CHICAGO.—Although it has been collecting annals of freak incidents tor years, the National Safety coun cil was rocked back on its heels by this one. A Chicago man had a gold medal struck off and presented to his wife tor driving 300,000 miles without an accident or a traffic ticket. When the council recovered from the shock, it decided the man, James J. Ingels, had something. So it announced the formation of a na tional club of safe women drivers, to be known as “Wonder Wives.” Mr. Ingels was named the No. 1 charter member. Any wife who has driven 10,000 miles or more without an accident or traffic violation—and who can get her husband to sign a statement to that effect—may join the new or ganization. Nevada Recalls Map Omitting One City BOULDER CITY, NEV.—Distri bution of a state-prepared tourists’ map was halted by Gov. Vail Pitt man because it did not include Boulder City, Nevada’s fourth larg est town. Reprinting of the guide in corrected form was ordered. The original map was condemned by Boulder City’s 5,200 residents, who demanded that all copies of the erJ roneous guide be destroyed. Ilfcttome tlepj&iiesi 3n WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WNU Comspondtil WNU Washington Bureau 1616 Eye St., N. W Producers Who Refuse To Sell Are ‘Strikers’ ««PRODUCERS Hold Meat From 1 Stockyards”; “Butter Scarce as Processors Divert Butter Fats”; “Farm Leader Deplores Labor Strikes”; “OPA Girds to Fight Black Market.” Headlines such as these in the newspapers have set official Wash ington to thinking, as they should set every citizen to thinking. What is the underlying cause of black markets? And the simple answer is, scarcity. What is the underly ing cause of high prices? The an swer is also scarcity. If there were plenty of meat for sale, plenty of butter on the markets, plenty of automobiles in hands of.dealers, or plenty of any other commodity on retail shelves, there would be no black market. Neither would there be high prices. It’s that simple. The next question is, “What is the underlying cause of scarcity?” There may be several answers to that question, but certainly one an swer, insofar as manufactured products are concerned, is under production. As for foodstuffs, one answer is that farmers and ranchers are not marketing their produce, or that processors are holding their products off the wholesale and re tail markets. So the laboring man who strikes and the farmer who withholds his prodace from market are by their very acts helping to build up scar city and the black market, the very conditions against which they rail. Why should the stockyards be teeming with beef and pork and mutton one week and the next be virtually empty? Because farm ers and meat producers are holding their livestock for a higher price. That, in the opinion of this reporter, is a strike. It’s a strike for higher price, identically the same as when the laborer walks off his job in a strike for a higher wage. The farmer gains nothing and neither does the laborer, for both are help ing to build up the spiral of increas ing cost of living for everything they buy. Buying Power Count* It doesn’t make a bit of difference how many dollars the farmer or the laborer has in his pocket, if that dollar won’t buy what he wants to buy. And it can’t buy an automo bile or a corn husker or a tractor if they are not being produced. On the farms of the nation the un paralleled rise in living standards during the past 10 years is the di rect result of rising productivity, in record crops with less work, less men working and on about the same acreage. On »the labor front, in creased production has brought higher wages, and shorter hours and better working conditions. High wages for workers and high prices for farmers are good for the national economy if they are paid out of increased production . . . certainly not out of black market operations or through inflated prices due to scarcity. •» That old law of supply and de mand simply will not be regulated by legislation, either by union rules, by farm marketing agreements or by any governmental agency, be cause the fact is simply that what counts in a man’s pocketbook is what his money will buy and not the number of dollars he jingles. Congress has set our national policy throughout the establishment of governmental agencies which seek to hold-the line on prices and wages by establishing wage ceilings and price ceilings until supply has reached demand. Whether these es tablished ceilings are fair and equitable, this reporter has no way of knowing. We do know, however, that we have seen during the past few weeks certain labor unions defy the rulings of the Wage Stabilization board, declare they wouldn’t work at the wage set by the board and strike. They struck against the government and the public. We have seen farm ers and cattle and hog raisers defy the rulings of the OPA, declare they can’t sell at that price, and strike. They struck against the government and the public. We have seen pack ers, food processors and manufac turers do the same thing. Under such conditions, no policy, no formula, no legislation, however just and equitable, will work. One thing congress did not do and that was to give these agencies police power to enforce their rulings. Stabilization Will Fail If one group can get away with it, then so can others and the whole machinery of stabilization to prevent an inflation spiral falls down. One thing is certain, the great mass of the American public is in the middle, the folks in the home towns of the country, in the cities, who work for a living. There is plenty of food in this country . . . plenty of meat. We have proved that we can produce plenty of any commodity the Amer ican people want.

PAUL’S BACKGROUND AND EARLY LIFE LESSON TEXT: Acts 21:39; 22:3. 27. 28; 26:4, 5; Philippians 3:5, 6. MEMORY SELECTION: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.—Ec clesiastes 12:1. God .works through men. When we study his work we study the lives of men—all types of men— but all yielded to him, and used by him. Paul stands out as one of the most influential characters in all history. His life and letters, which we are to study the next three months, have had a tremendous effect on the human race. Especially is this true of his position and influence in the Christian church. Under God he was tne one who carried the gospel to the Gentile world, and then began the great missionary program of the church, which goes on to this very day. His writings are the steady and ex tensive foundation of much of our study and teaching of Christian doc trine. I. Birthplace (Acts 21:39). The place of a man’s birth has a definite influence on his personality and usefulness. Tarsus, where Paul was born, was one of the most cos mopolitan cities in the world of that day. It was a Roman province, where men proudly held their Cit izenship in the great empire. Greek, the language of world culture, was spoken there. Tarsus was a great educational and university center. It was in a rich and fertile area. It was at the head of .navigation on the river Cydnus and on a great Roman high way. It was the capital of the province. II. Education (Acts 22:3). After his early training in the home and under rabbis in Tarsus, he went to Jerusalem to study in what was probably the best- equipped Hebrew college of that day, under one of the greatest teachers, Gamaliel. Somewhere in his rearing he was taught a trade, for every Jewish boy learned to support himself with his own hands (see Acts 18:3). He was instructed in the Word of God, and had a consuming zeal for religious things. Until he was con verted, it counted against Christian ity, but afterward it became a flaming fire to spread the truth in all the world. His combined zeal and knowledge made him a man of truly broad mind and tolerant spirit (Acts 5:35- 39) III. Citizenship (Acts 22:27, 28). The mighty power and prestige of Rome stood behind every Roman citizen. Paul used his citizenship for protection. It helped him in his Service for the Lord. Its prestige was used for God’s glory. It is a good sign when a man is proud of his national background, and it speaks well for the nation to which he belongs. But Paul came (as every Christian does) to know and appreciate a higher citizenship. IV. Religion (Acts 26:4, 5). Though a free-born Roman citi zen, Paul was a Jew, and loyal to the religion of his people. He was a member of the strictest sect, the Pharisees, in which his family had held membership for generations. He lived consistently in the ob servance of the laws and customs ol his religious faith, and none could point to any flaw in his doctrine or failure in his life. When he became a follower of Christ, there was no ground on which anyone could dismiss his con version and his witness as the out break of a new viewpoint on the part of a renegade Jew., It is to a man’s credit that he faithfully lives up to the beliefs of the religion he professes. The re sult of such sincerity will be con version, if he, like Paul, meets Christ and honestly faces the ques tion of loyalty to him. V. Race (Phil. 3:5, 6). Paul counted it to be an honor to be known as a Hebrew and gloried in the fact that he was bom, trained and lived within that racial as well as religious circle. No one need ever be ashamed a& his race, although he may be ashamed of things which members of his race have done. But there are even more things of which to i be proud, and a man may add to the standing of his race by living his own life in cleanness of char acter and nobility of purpose. It is never a commendable thing to be ashamed of the race of one’s fa thers. We must remember, however, that all the things in which Paul gloried, he found to be but refuse when he compared them with Christ (see Phil 3:7, 8). Everything worthwhile in a man’s life God can glorify and use. Bui none of them, no matter how pre cious they may seem to be, com pares with fellowship with and serv ice for the Lord.
