Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH CHILDREN AT WORSHIP Children Learn Responsibility By Holding Own Church Services The town of Milton, Mass., is the site of America's only children's church, run by and for children. Each Sunday morning the bell of the little colonial building calls eighty young members of the Chi-ldren's Church of the First Parish Unitarian church to services. A tiny, blond child with a solemn gaze toddles up to a miniature al-ter, clutching a taper In both hands. Teetering back and forth on her thin legs, she lights the alter candles. One of the "elders" of the church, a girl, quiet-ly walks to the organ and stretches her fingers over the keys as a cue I 3 i . 1 if?.-- , JvrT. 11 The "C h 1 Church" at Milton, Mass., Is the first church In the country founded exclusive-ly for children. They sing their hymns, read the scripture and conduct their own prayers. Above the youthful choir files out of Its own church, headed for Its parent church where the young people sometimes sing for special services. for the choir to start assembling its dignity. There may not be much technical perfection to the choir with Its wavering childish trebles and uncertain adolescent altos but there Is immense dignity. There Is the same dignity about the congregation seated In the small pews. As the majestic tones of their own Hammond organ swell up, girls sit quietly In their pews with none of the fidgeting and giggling that often characterizes youngsters at-tending religious services. Solemn-face- d boys pay determined atten-tion to what is going on before them, mindful that they are pres-p- nt In their own church Instead of that of their elders. Even the five-ye- ar olds are conscious of the dig-nity of their position In this, their own religious world. Children from 5 to 15 years old lead the hymns, read the scripture and conduct their own prayers. The only adult taking part is Mrs. Edyth Stonestreet, minister of this miniature congregation for the past nine years. 0 THE CHILDREN'S CHURCH was the idea of the late wife of the Rev. Vivian Pomeroy, who is pastor of the First Parish Unitarian church attended by the children's parents. Mrs. Pomeroy believed, children should hare a service they could understand and enjoy, one that would be their very own. She was Instrumental In - having an aban-doned schoolhouse moved to the church grounds adjoining the adult church In 1937. An entry way, steeple, window shutters and paint were added to transform it Into the diminutive house of worship. Everything about it is scaled to children's size. The children begin their service In the larger church next door where the Rev. Pomeroy delivers a children's sermon but that is the end of their time in the adult re-ligious world. Immediately after the sermon, they file quietly out to their own small church where they take over. It's not a game with them. It is a very serious matter and each of the 80 members reflects his satisfaction with the arrange-ment in his feeling of responsibility about the conduct of his church.

Grim, g Douglas MacArthur took time out from directing a war In Korea and his duties as top man In Japan to tell newsmen U.N. forces were insufficient In numbers to hold I line at the 38th parallel. He pointed out that there are no natural de-fense features anywhere near Its Immediate proximity. The general's statement brought to the front again the question of what happens now that the Chinese have abandoned their last great center below the parallel and have retreated into North Korea. Do U.N. forces advance beyond the line and continue their campaign? The British government has insisted for weeks, as a political matter, that the parallel was as far as U.N. forces should pursue the Reds. This view was backed by a number of United Nations members. In Washington the situation was put like this: If the U.N. succeeds In smashing the next expected Communist offensive and the Reds then continue retreating, how far north should the U.N. forces go? Prodding, hard-workin- g Matthew Ridgway, commander in Korea, wanted a quick answer as his troops stood poised along the line. If his advance was stopped It meant a stalemate in the war and the dirty business of preparing a defense line on unfavorable terrain. If he was given the signal it meant more of his slow but thorough tactics of "operation killer." MEAT MAKERS A big man In pearl-gra- y n hat stiff-ened, turned purple, and brought his polished boots from desk to floor with a crash: "This Is the most outlandish thing those fools In Washington ever thought up," he exploded. One of 2,500 ranchers at-tending a cattle raisers meeting in Dallas, he was expressing the view of fel-low cattlemen who had just heard a government plan to roll back cattle prices 10 to 20 per cent. That view of the govern-ment's attempt to hold down inflation and to regulate ft prices was not confined to his group. The automobile President Truman, vacationing at the Industry, labor, grain farm- - ,am,e rj,, ouse.. st tne nava, bage ers, steel, and numerous . . . Ke WeBt 'eni w dmlnlstra-cream- s. others continued their The cattlemen tlon news conference. He said his were Just a little more color- - staff was made op of honorable men. fuL Cattlemen said a roll-bac- k of prices would force curtailment of production and encourage black markets. Like farmers throughout the nation, they argued that production costs have advanced and that in-creased supply will regulate prices. Said one rancher: "You can't control what the public is willing to pay for meat." FOOD PRICES E"ic Johnston, the former fair-haire- d boy of the movie industry, lately turned economic stabilizer for the government, sent word to the White House he had found the way to hold down food prices. Smiling Eric reported that the "parity extension" provision Is the key to inability to keep food prices in line. So long as he and Michael DiSalle, the chubby price controller, cannot touch a food price until it gets above a "parity" that moves in a rapidly ascending spiral, they cannot control inflation. This, Johnston said. Is the heart of the problem. Unless food prices can be held and rolled back, there will be no holding wages. And if wages continue to go up, industrial prices and "parity" will keep on climbing and the ecenomy will be torn apart. Johnston has about as much chance of getting congress to repudiate parity as he would of getting Iowa to stop growing corn. Nevertheless, he recommended: (1) A change In the "parity exemption" provision of the present law; (2) authority to use subsidies to hold prices In line; (3) extended licensing powers; (4) adequate authority to handle labor disputes. THE HOT SEAT The hottest spot in the U.S. the past several weeks has been the witness chair at the senate crime investigating com-mittee's hearing in New York. Occupying that seat has been gambling kingpin Frank Costello and handsome William O'Dwyer, former mayor of New York, now U.S. ambassador to Mexico. The committee was trying to prove that Costello controls a gam-bling syndicate that reaches to the Main Streets of America. As for O'Dwyer, the committee wanted to know if there is any connection be-tween gambling and big-tim- e politicians in New York. The hot scat really got hot when Senator Tobey, balding and acid-tongue- d member of the committee, asked O'Dwyer why such a "promi-nent man" as he should trot to the home of Costello to ask his advice end counsel. ' O'Dwyer said he was carrying out an army assignment, adding, "They say there's a lot of it (bookmaklng) in New Hampshire." "Well, we haven't a Costello In New Hampshire," Tobey roared. "I wonder," O'Dwyer retorted, adding that Tobey had sent to New York for campaign funds. "It's not true," Tobey shouted. "I'm under oath," O'Dwyer brisUed. "You're not." To which Tobey roared, "I'm not a fourflusher." All of which provided 15,000,000 television fans with a spectacular show, putting soap operas to shame. What it provided in the way of facts concerning gambling In the U.S. is anybody's guess. POLITICS The 1952 presi-dential campaign was again in the news with a published report The realities of the Korean war that President Truman made a are shown In the picture of two deal with General Eisenhower to " waifs, perched on a haystack. ake Ike available in 1952. calmly waiting-- for U.S. troops In According to the story, widely the background to fire a heavy published throughout the U.S., the mortar. Ask yourself this question: President told Ike that one Harry How would you feel If it was acted Truman did not want to be ac-o-in the U.S. and the waifs were cused of exiling a potential power-America- n kldsf ful contender for the honors of the White House. The general, in his usual blunt and straight-forwar- d way, attempted to kill the story. His statement said "the President has never mentioned to me any political possibilities of 1952 whatsoever." That should have been that, but rumors persist that Eisenhower will be available in 1952 to one of the major parties. As things stand now it would appear he could win hands down. RENT CONTROL A y extension of the rent control law was passed by the house after heated debate. The measure already has been enacted by the senate. It was sent to the White House where the Presi-dent was expected to sign it without delay. It becomes effective April 1 and expires June 30. House members pushing the measure argued decontrol would inter-fere with recruiting workers for defense production and lift limits in defense and military districts. I CBDSSWDHD PUZZLE Jsg ACROSS 2.

Not content with success on the screen, she has made numerous radio appearances, toured the country In two plays, and SUSAN FE?ERS now has added a television serial, "Miss Susan", to her schedule, (on NBT-T- weekday afternoons). That involves lengthy rehearsals as well as the actual performances. Miss Peters plays a young lawyer, and is supported by an excellent cast, headed by Mark Roberts, Helen Ray, Katharyn Grill, Joseph Foley and Robert Pike. ' Eddie Cantor is indulging again in his favorite occupation raising money for a worthy cause. He has been knighted as the first "Cancer Crusader", heading the American Cancer Society's annual campaign, in April. Called the world's greatest fund raiser (he sold 343,000,000 worth of war bond3.) he has also originated many slogans, including the March of Dimes. Evelyn Varden, radio mother of "Young Dr. Malone", who was ac-claimed for her performance as the southern aristocrat in "Pinky", Is featured as the nurse in the produc-tion of "Romeo and Juliet" starring Olivia de Havilland.

FICTION DIFFERENT LANGUAGE C0RNER By Richard H. Wilkinson SHORTLY BEFORE noon on the Garrisons left Laredo for Mexico City, their motor went dead. Mrs. Garrison was greatly disturbed. "Of all places!" she said, "to have this happen. I de-clare, you should have had the car looked at in Laredo." "I did," said Mr. Garrison. His voice was muffled because his head was beneath the hood. But Mrs. Garrison was I I paying no atten-- Minute tion anyhow. She 3- - , Fiction rutfhrwundg " rugged, treeless country in which they had stopped, as if expecting Pancho Villa and a horde of vicious looking henchmen to rise up from behind a rock. Five horsemen suddenly appeared out-lined against the sky on the crest of a nearby hilL Mrs. Garrison let out a squeak of fright. Into her mind there flashed stories of the roving bands of out-laws that inhabited the hills of Mexico. Mr. Garrison lifted a grease-besmeare- d face and stared at the horsemen. Then he looked at his wife and saw that her cheeks were white. "Rubbish!." he said. "No need to be scared." But his own heartbeats had increased in volume. The horsemen were coming down the hill. Mrs. Garrison had a wild impulse to flee. She could see the leader of the quintet and his ap-pearance confirmed her fears. Just as the stories had said, he was dark and handsome and oily. The leader of the group doffed his hat and said something; in Spanish that neither of the Gar-risons understood. They re- - "My father," she said in per-fect English, "regrets that he does not speak your language." garded each other with fright-ened looks. One of the hench-men dismounted and proceeded to examine the car. "They're wondering If it's worth anything." Mrs. Garrison, said. "It isn't," Mr. Garrison told her. There followed a rapid jargon of speech between the riders. Present-ly two of them uncoiled ropes and attached the ends to the automo-bile's bumper. It was quite evident that they planned to tow the thing away, and the Garrisons were con-gratulating themselves on escaping with their lives, when the leader signed to them to enter the vehicle. Mrs. Garrison shrieked and clung to her husband. "They're going to kidnap us. Oh, Lord, have mercy!" Mr. Garrison was more practical. "I doubt if they harm us if we do what they say. If we don't they might cut off our ears." Thus having set his wife's mind at rest, he preceded her into the car and sat behind the wheel. IJN HOUR LATER they turned into a side road and presently the car stopped before a great rambling ranch house. The prisoners were ordered to alight. A wizened, copper-colore- d Mexican unloaded their handbags and led them inside and to a bed-room. "Not bad for a kidnaper's hide-out," Mr. Garrison commented. "It will probably take every cent we have to pay the ransom. They think we're rich." Some one knocked at their door and they both started. But it was the same wizened servant. He beck-oned to them and they followed him out and along the corridor and into a dining room. The leader of the kidnapers was waiting for them." The Garrisons were hungry and so they ate. By the time the meal was finished all hands felt pretty gay. Footsteps sounded on the porch, and a young girl entered. At sight of the Garrisons, she hesitated, but their host greeted her warmly, and beckoned her to him. Thnre fol-lowed a jargon of speech between the man and girl. The girl's face suddenly lighted and she looked at the Garrisons. "My father." she said in perfect English, "regrets that he does not speak your language. But he trusts you have been made comfortable and will stay with him a few days. He has many American friends and whenever the chance offers he likes to extend them the hospitality of his home. He tells me that your car has been repaired and is waiting." Mr. and Mrs. Garrison looked at each other. Mrs. Garrison said: "Oh, my! Just imagine! Do let's stay, Henry." And Henry said: "O. K." And for no accountable reason he grinned and felt tenderly of bis ears. GRASSROOTS Our Posterity May Have To Repudiate Huge Debts By Wright A. Patterson yHE PRESENT DECADE Is des- - tined to go down as the most profligate in our history. In Wash-ington, the halls of congress and in the executive departments, there is talk only of economies, but it is all talk and no action. The President talks an excellent line of economy. He tells congress to spend less on home projects, and then recommends new ways and places for appropriations. Con-gress talks much about the need for economies, and then votes all and more than the President has asked. It results in a merry go round of tax, and tax, and tax, and spend, and spend. In the1 end, we are destined not to pay as we go, but to build up more national indebted-ness for our children, through sev-eral generations to pay, or possibly, to repudiate. We are traveling the road to national bankruptcy, with no one willing to apply the brakes. Congress Insists it will cut the President's budget by as much as seven billions, the President dares congress to cut It by so much as one dollar. And the chances are that in-stead of cutting, congress will, by the end of the session, through the needless items pro-vided for in the nsual "pork" bill, add more millions or bil-lions. For many years, through "pork" appropriations we have attempted what we have termed flood control without any perceptible approach to actual accomplishment, and we will have similar appropriation! at the end of this session. The result will be increased, rather than less spending. But the people do not seem to awaken to the fact that congress and the President are spending their money, that each new billion of appropriations calls for more taxes which the people must pay, more ways through which to collect. Now, in Washington, they are talk-ing about a manufacturers' excise tax, which would mean a new tax to be added ;o the price of the commodities the people buy. It is net that such a tax is not equitable. It is but another way of taking money out of the pockets of the people to pay for things we could get along without We tax the people on the food they eat, in order that congress may provide higher prices for farm products, and so cater to the farm vote without a thought of the retaliation that may come from the five urban votes to each one on the farms. That Is a place where the urban vote will, In time, demand a de-crease In expenditures. When that urban revolt comes, as It will, it will make a difference of a billion or more in government spending. One place where economy could be practiced, rather than only talked. Is In the federal payrolls. With the bureaucratic departments now employing well over two mil-lion civilians and increasing at the rate of better than one thousand a day, that "army" represent a vast expenditure each year. For the President's party, that more than two million bureaucratic payrollers represents from four to eight mil-lion votes in the next election. Nat-urally the representatives of that party in congress will do nothing about it. The Republicans in congress would welcome the opportunity of separating that more than two mil-lion employees from the federal payrolls if that could be accom-plished without abolishing the jobs they hold. They would like to dis-pense with the present Job holders, presumably members of the Demo-cratic party, but they want to pre-serve their jobs so they may be filled with their own partisans, fol-lowing the next election if their party wins. They are more inter-ested in building a bulwark of votes that can insure their hold on the national government, than in na-tional economy. So it is that, for one reason or another there is no real desire for economy, either on the part of the President or either party as rep-resented In congress. What we hear is only meaningless talk. There has been, and will be no real perform-ance. There is no leadership point-ing in that direction by the Presi-dent or the members of congress represented by either political par-ty. All are playing the game of poli-tics, rather than thinking of the in-terests of the nation and its people. Should the people awaken and real-ize what is happening, one or both parties might be Induced to take action, rather than only talk. CROP PROSPECTS 1951 Production May Set New Record With a break in the weather, American crop production in 1951 may set a record, but whether the peak output is the answer to spiral-in- g food prices is the big question, even tor the nation's farmers. One favorable trend is the grow-ing number of beef cattle and hogs, sources of a major item in the country's diet Cattle numbers are Sow at 84,200,000 bead, compared with a low of 78,000,000 in 1948. Stocks of wheat ar.d corn, ra material for meat and dairy pro-ducts, are ample and without acre-age restrictions. Winter wheal planting is up one-sixt- h over last year. Indications in the midwesi corn belt point toward anothei bumper planting this spring, of facials of the department of agri culture said in a recent report |
