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.
New York Vignette: Lorraine De
Wood, the thrush, was motoring up
Riverside drive. . . . She kept hold
ing one arm out of the car, waving
it aimlessly. . . . The motorist be
hind her (so the story goes in the
mail) couldn’t savvy her signals and
the machines collided. . . . “Oh,
lady,” he almost wept, “I couldn’t
tell whatinell you were signalling!”
. . . “I wasn’t signalling,” Lor
raine said, shifting her choongum,
“I was just drying my nail polish!”
. . . Bilbo’s mouth operation was a
flop—he can still talk!
Settlement House
Golden Jubilee of
Founder Remains ^

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.

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.
A Closet That Fits
Into Waste Space
T'HIS closet will fit into any
waste space because it has a
shade-roller door that does not

space only nine inches deep is used
for a linen closet with shelves.
A handy laundry bag matches the
striped material used for the door, which
rolls up in back of the attractive frame
of wooden scallops used to finish the front.
