Has Proven It Is Good ?
There is some talk by certain legislators
of repealing or changing the laws
regarding drivers license and car inspection.
We feel that to do this would be a
grave mistake. Cars that are not mechanically
safe should be removed from
the highways and persons not capable
of driving safely should not be allowed
to drive on the highways either. You usually
find a combination of the two, an
old trap of vehicle driven by an unqualified
driver. The two are potential killers.
The general assehibly of 1947 passed
these regulations for protection of all motorists,
and they were passed after an
aroused public demanded something be
done to help cut down the terrible toll
of death, injury and property damage on
the highways. We have already seen good
results from the little time periodic inspection
and driver examination has been
in effect.
The inconvenience and small cost oi
these regulations should not be allowec
to take this protection from us. No one
is immune to death on the highways, bu1
like fighting killing diseases, we musl
keep up the fight on highway accidents
We think ot war as horrible and yel
seem to forget the fact that more Americans
lost their lives or were maimed or
the highways during the war period thar
were killed in battle.
Let's keep this protection.
INSIDE WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON ? Two red-hot Wash
ington battles ? the fate of the 70-grouj
Air Force and the failure of armed services
unification ? are likely to reach ?
singlejclimax with the resignation of Ail
Secretary Stuart Symington.
President Truman knows that mpst o:
the inter-service bickering in the Defense
department is over the lion's share oi
appropriations. He also knows that Sy
mington is determined to fight the presidential
edict that the Air Force be reduced
to 48 groups.
Symington's conviction that the 70group
force, voted by the last Congress
is the nation's best defense, forces hirr
to fight for more money and thereby
heighten tension on the unification front
When the president laid down his 48group
plan, Symington cut orders foi
fighter planes and placed the Air Force's
reliance on long-range bombers. This
move brought about immediate criticism
from planners in Defense Secretary

THE SY
James Forrestal's office.
Symington has submitted a routine
resignation in keeping with the tradition
at the beginning of a new administration.
The betting is that it will be accepted and
a less rabid air power advocate will take
his job.
Ironically, Congress appears ready to
brush aside Mr. Truman's 48-group plan
and keep right on appropriating funds
to build the 70-group air armada.
BUTTER STRATEGY ? America's
dairy interests have developed a new
strategy in their bitter congressional
fight against oleomargarine.
Whereas the industry has fought tooth
and nail against abandonment of taxes on
oleo, it now takes the position that "if
you can't beat 'em, join 'em." In that
! mood, the dairy interests have .agreed
! not to oppose any repealer on oleomargarine
taxes.
However (and here's the fly in the
ointment), the gimmick is that the bill
must contain a provision that oleo may
not be sold in a color resembling butter.
The American Butter institue, the National
Co-operative Milk Producers federation
and the National Creameries association
are conducting their campaign
with the motto: "No color, no tax, no
color, no fraud."
The dairymen contend that, if the lower-priced
oleo is "permitted to be sold
in unrestricted imitation of butter, butter
sales would be unfairly affected."
They tell the nation's housewives:
"To protect your own pocketbook, and
your meat and milk supplies, write your
congressman to support a ban on the coloration
of oleo in imitation of butter."

tic leadership is driving for passage of a
mild anti-filibuster bill that it hopes will
i not tread too heavily on tender Dixie toes.
With GOP co-sponsorship, Rules Coml
mittee Chairman Carl Hayden (D), Aril
zona, has introduced a resolution to
! change the rules to block future "un;
breakable" filibusters,
t Under present rules, the gag rule can.
not be invoked against filibusters based
t on anything except the legislation itself.
Hayden's bill, in which he is joined by
i Senate GQP leader Kenneth S. Wherry,
1 of Nebraska, leaves unchanged the present
requirement for a two-thirds majority
to silence debate and the one-hour debate
for each senator, and merely extends the
gag-rule machinery to all Senate business.
THE NEW TEAM ? Diplomats and
> newsmen are somewhat puzzled by the
- new "team" of Dean Acheson and James
i E. Webb, chosen by President Truman
: to run the 9tate department. Their questions
do not arise out of the quality or inE
tegrity of either man.
> Acheson is looked upon as an adroit,
E seasoned diplomat who will, in his own
- words, faithfully carry out the foreign
- policy of the nation.
Webb, who will step into the undersecretary
post from the Budget Bureau, is
- considered one of the ablest administrators
in the federal administration.
i However ? and there's the rub ?
r who will have the final say on diplomatic
matters in the absence of Secretary
. Acheson?
In the past the undersecretary has be;
come the nation's foreign policy spokesman
when the secretary is absent frorr
. office. But Webb has had no experience
j in foreign affairs.

p Infatuation has wrecked and is
wrecking many a home. A pathetic
letter is before me now reflecting
such a Picture,
it comes from a
vR? a * home where husse&f
band and wife
IiV8d tOgeth0r f?r
dren are grown
PP?? and have estab
lished their own homes. Now the
husband nas announced that he
doesn't love his wife; is in love
with another woman whom he
proposes to marry after divorce.
The wife is heartbroken. The husband
probably isn't too happy
about it deep inside, but he
wouldn't admit it.
It's a familiar picture of what
so often happens in middle years.
We have written about this before
as one of the problems of what
we call "second adolescence." A
reprint of tftis column is available

Many a marriage succumbs to
matrimonial monotony. The marriage
relations deteriorate over
the years because the husband and
wife seem to forget that true love
languishes from lack of care and
attention. Those little courtesies,
attentions, and demonstrations of
affection which are so necessary
to keep alive the flames of love,
are neglected. Husband and wife
take one another for granted. The
majority of their energies are devoted
to rearing the children,
maintaining a home, dividing the|
money to pay needed expenses.,
So the children come to maurity,j
marry and leave home. An emptiness
descends upon the marriage.}
Then comes along the other worn-i
an or the other man. In the case
presented in this letter, it's another
woman. While no details

A SAD CONDITION
(Letter To The Editor)
As I go into the stores, garages,
filling-station awi other pilces of
business, I hear the sad story:
"the church people are not reliable
and the preachter^jotpyr county
are the hardest class to collect
from, and are crooked/' That is
a sad condition, Any - men or
woman that is not reliable anywhere,
or under any condition, is
not a Christian, and kniws* nothing
about God's Spirit beihg in
their heart. We read In the Bible
that all liars, and that includes
church liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone.
We read in the Bible that the
blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanse th us .from all sin. So if
any one has ever had anything
in his heart that is like God it is
truth and honesty. Shame on the
one that will profess to be a
Christian, and in their heart is a
crook.
I think in fairness to God and
his Church, and the good Christian
people, and preachers of the
county that are being reflected
on should ask every-place of business
to make a list of every debt
made by preachers or members
similar cases we can reconstruct
what has happened.
Proximity either in work or in
other associations has brought the
two together frequently. She has
shown him little attentions which
have been neglected at home.Their
relations have become quite
friendly and cordial. Perhaps
they have even become more intimate.
He is infatuated with her,
but thinks he is in love with her
and that a new marriage will bring
real happiness. Perhaps it will,
it's doubtful. True happiness
never comes at the expense of
the unhappiness of dthers. He will
leave an unhappy wife, and his
married children will probably
look with disfavor if not displeasure
and disgust upon their father's
move. His happiness is not
going to be strengthened by violating
his early marriage vows/
and his sense of duty towards his
wife will not be lost.
Such marriages can be repaired
and restored, if husband and wife
will both take their home problem
in earnest prayer to their
Lord, praying, "Not my will, but
Thine be done." True love is unselfish,
and when blessed and
| guided by God is everlasting. v

ard send them to their church, L
then after there has been a rea- *
sonable time given to everyone, if
they won't do something about it,
then I think a list should be given
to our paper and let it be published
so everyone will know who they
mean when they say they are
crooked:
I hear so many times that people
trying to justify themselves by
saying there is none good no not
one. Thaf may be true of the
class they belong to, Romans
3:10-18. As it is written, there is
none righteous, no, not one: There
is none that understandeth, there
is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way,
they are all together become unprofitable:
there is none that doeth
good, no, not one. Their throat is
an 'open sepulchre; with their 4
tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their lips:
Whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness: their feet are swift to
shed blood: Destruction and mis- *
ery ?re in their ways: (And the
way of peace have they not known: ^
I There is no fear of God before
their eyes.)
Sin a reproach to any people.
And we may add, to any Church.
Let us hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: Fear God, and
keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes
12, 13.
They profess that they know
God; but in works they deny him,
being abominable, and disobedient,
and unto every good work
reprobate.- Titus 1?16.?
So please, if you are one of that
number, repent and confess and
straighten up and be somebody
before it is too late. He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and
he which is filthy, let him be
filthy still: and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still: and he
that is Holy let him be Holy still.
And behold, I come quickly; and
my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be. Rev. 22:11-12.
Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners i
in the congregation of the righteous.
"For the Lord knoweth the
' way of the righteous: but the* way
