Radios and television. Not their own sets but their neighbors. Statistics used to show that every home had a radio set. Now they indicate that darn near every room has one. And one home making magazine has already designed a kitchen with a television set in it. The problem of noise is bad enough within the family. Mother tunes in a drama, Dad gets the ball game, Junior puts on Ilopalong and Sister listens to the local disk jockey. It takes a family FCC to keep that under control. But when the neighbors throw up their windows in the spring and keep their sets turned up then you have a battle of sound. Soap opera against soap opera, ball game against ball game, the Lone Ranger against Howdy Duudic. Frankie Lame against Johnny Ray, commercial against commer cial. Soon the whole street is one terrible, electronic Babel. That's why people are putting on oar muffs in April —Boston Herald. ISinety Days in Office: Danger Seen Detroit News. One of the wonders of Washington since the start of the new administration has been j the self-restraint of the usually loquacious j Democrats on Capitol Hill. It is a concerted silence, long since pro longed beyond any possibility of ascribing it to gentlemanly forbearance. As a strata gem. it can mean only that the Democrats are well satisfied with the way things are going. They are reluctant to discourage the Republican newscomers in a course they sec as favoring Democratic recapture of Con gress in next year’s elections. It is an unhappy fact that in its less than 3 months in office the administration has managed in several instances to give a worse impression of itself than partisan criticism could hope to achieve It is an impressipn, bluntly, of dedication to aim oilier than the one for which governments exist, which is the service of the people. That this is an erroneous estimate and that its ingredients have been inexperience compounded by an inevitably excessive re vulsion against policies of the preceding Democratic regimes is beside the point. It is the record that counts and on which the Democrats an* counting with a confidence so far justified bv a seeming Republican in ability to retrieve and correct. This has been the culminating blunder. The administration’s self-consciously stiff refusal to make amends where ami nds have been both due and feasible is again a prod uct of inexperience, but, again, no less fatal for being understandable. An example is the tacit backing given Commerce Secretary Weeks in his dismissal of Dr Austin as Director of the Bureau of Standards. The action was offensive. Hot alone to scientists, nowadays an articulate group, but also to ethical business, which has come to rely on the Bureau’s scientific impartiality. Not yet content, however, Mr. Weeks defended himself by bespeaking for a product—found to have been unethically advertised—a right, nevertheless, to the “test of the market place.” It must hive been evident to others than the silent Democrats that revival of the brutal doctrine of “let the buyer beware” was no spring posy with which to woo the affections of voters. Yet this seeming dis avowal of the Federal responsibility to con sumers—a responsibility defined by act of Congress—has been allowed to stand. It is the Republicans who should beware. Even in the matter of offshore oil give away, correction has been possible. To term this a blunder is admittedly to disagree with many Republicans, even in Michigan, sup posedly not lacking in political savvy. Yet, as will be heard in the campaign next year, the essence of this matter is the despoiling of a natural resource—variously valued at $20 billion to $200 billion—which lawfully belongs to all the people. The giveaway has been prompted by nothing more substantial than a doctrinaire—and in this connection wholly inapplicable—feeling for “States rights.” For campaign purposes, it will be rendered no more savory by the fact that I i the major beneficiaries, rather than the three States concerned, will be the oil com panies now on the ground. Not only was this political pitfall ignored but the administration’s apparent uncon cern has encompassed even an extension of the giveaway idea to the public lands ashore. The very word “conservation” in regard to j I'tyse, resources, jsMa souvenir of an {arise-; Republican administration. The policy of retaining them for the benefit and enjoy ment of all the people is a Republican in vention—of Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot—and one of that party’s proudest. Yet no rebuke has been visited on a leading Republican, a westerner, for his proposal that, folowing the offshore oil, the rest of the public domain be sold "to the people.” It is expected of the Republican Party that it should be friendly to private enter prise, to business. What is good for business truly is good for the country; otherwise our whole faith in the worth of the American system must be an insane delusion. But it was not the people’s purpose in entrusting the Republicans with office to invite friend liness with predatory business and that is, in sum, the impression of itself which the ad ministration’s blunders have been creating. Uncorrected, it is the equivalent of politi cal suicide, as the waiting Democrats well realize. About Fate They are shouting about the proposal to cut $960 million off the budget up in Wash ington. One of the largest single items in the lump sum is the $KiO million Mi. Eisen hower proposes to take away from the De partment of Agriculture. Out in Brookings, South Dakota, less than six months ago, Mr. Eisenhower declared he favored 100 percent parity for farmers. lie is doing an abruot about face as far as agri cluture is concerned. At the same time he favors giving the oil barons billions in nat ural resources, the sale of synthetic rubber plants worth about $600 million, tp a coi poration or two at about half the recognized value. Possibly it is all in keeping with free en terprise -free for the farmer to starve and free for the interests to grab everything. /In/iYx In The legislature Although offered in fun, the shot gun wedding uniting Representative Jim Speight and Ex-Representative Wayland Spruill, both of Bertie, in the State House a few' days ago rates much higher than a w'hole let of the asinine acts committed by that un-august body during the 1958 ses sion. At least the father of the unwed mother, even though belatedly, showed some interest in morals. And some of the legislators will do wmll to refer to the antic as one of the assembly’s real accomplishments rather than ever men- j tion some of the acts committed and enter ed in the official records. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT: "Too clever is dumb." Nash Two farmers with racing stables wore keen rivals. Each entered a horse in a local , steeple chase. One of them, thinking to get the better of his rival, engaged a profession al jockey. The two horses were loading at the last fence, which proved to be too high for them. They fell, unseatuig their riders. The ex pert jockey quickly remounted and won the race. On returning to the stables, he found the farmer who hired him fuming with rage. “What’s the matter,” asked the jockey, “I won didn’t I?” “Yes,” roared the farmer, "you won! But you were on the wrong horse!” « * * * How often we try to be clever and out wit others. And how often those clever schemes backfire. Wise is the man who knows he is not clever enough to outwit others and devotes his energies to improv ing bis position by hard work. There is honesty in such a man. He finishes the race on his own horse. Simple folks are loved and respected. Clever men are feared. Their motives are always suspected, ^here is serenity, happiness and peace of mind in knowing your own horse and sitting firmly in your own saddle. CHURCF NEWS MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN Bible School at 10.
