Recent­ ly, you know, or do. ydu, th a t the department of agriculture issued a bulletin on the sex. of water­ melons. Now there is a pamphlet and literature on freezing aspar­ agus.. If you have asparagus, like tears, prepare to shed it now . . it’s time to chill the stuff. Mar­ tha Washington's name is kept before us constantly with candy and coffee and what have you, and now the leading stain of asparagus is Martha Washington, —and to think George didn’t get to try his home-made false teeth on any of it! THE CAN SPELL It’s a favorite indoor vocal sport of old timers to spout off , about kids in school not learning anything today. "They don’t teach them to spell anymore,” laments some fellow who never got a headmark in spelling in his life and still thinks you spell Xenia with a “Z,” But the other day in the national finals spelling bee the folks who “gave out” the words stopped from sheer ex- hustion and for lack of words. The contestants were still in there spelling every word corectly. Who is that guy speaking out the back way? He must be the fellow who said kids can’t spell any more! LOUIE’S OPINION “Without question the cheapest president we ever had in our coun­ try.” That’s the opinion of Louis Bromfield, farmer-novelist, pub­ licly expressed in Columbus be­ fore 1,000 GOP delegates a t a con­ vention. He stood up and said openly that the president has no ideas that are not “pumped into him from right_to left,” Then he said th a t the “bedeviled Ameri­ can people are refreshed by the attitude of S e n a t o t Jwnaefl***. I lf a t’s “fellin’ 'em, Louie! FIGURES Ju st in case you like to study figures—besides those at swim­ ming pools—-some attractive one3 come out of WDC. For example— the proposed appropriation for national defense in 1952 is $13 billion. But note this: That is the base, not the ceiling. You’ve no­ ticed tha t billions have a habit of getting out of control, and may shoot heavenward (our the other direction) a t any time. We thought you might be interested^ STEPPING LIVELY This is the time of year when the farmer has to step lively. Work crowds him, and the weath­ er is a big element in his life. Also he may have to “step off” , his fields to make a government report. We read this lately: “Farmers shall furnish such proof of their acreage yield, stor­ age, and marketing in th e fo rm of records, reports, sale receipts, or otherwise, as the secretary may prescribe. Any such person fail­ ing to make any report or keep any record as required shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction be fined not more than $500.” And $500 isn't just lying’ round under every clod in a cornfield, you know.

They will not only hear a good, solid American speech but tl^ y will know exactly what the speaker sqid, REDEDICATION The month of June is “xededi- cation month” over the nation.

Anybody _ _ can do that—and Foreman go right on- committing the same sin. Furthermore, a man’s regret for something, he has done may be for a wrong reason. Also, repentance is not just repentance-in-generai. It is one thing to say, “O God, I am a sinner.” It is quite another things and a. harder one, to kneel and say to God: “You know well what a liar 1 have been,” Repentance is not real unless it Is honest; and it is not honest tlU the repenter looks squarely at his own sins, knows them for real sins and is willing to call them by the uely names they deserve. for primitive life.1 again?

I t is- taken as an indication America’s largest mid most successful corporation be­ lieves business will continue good and the price level high, for a t least the next 5 years. Many ob­ servers, however, expect the new G.M. contract to sta rt another round of wage increase demands in other industries. Under the contract employees will get a_4- cent per hour for each one-point rise in the consumers’ price in­ dex, or a wage cut of not more than 3 cents an hour below pres­ en t wages should the cost of liv­ ing decline sharply. In addition, a pension of $100 a month, in­ cluding social security benefits, will be guaranteed employees with 25 years service, a t 65 or older, with smpller pensions fo r dis­ ability before retirement age. Life, sickness, accident, and hos­ pital insurance costs will be Lome equally by the company and the workers. A modified form of the “union shop” will guarantee the UAW a 5 year income from dues.

THE KING BUSINESS Wasn’t it Mark Twain who ask­ ed a sovereign “How's the king business?” He could answer his own question now. The king busi­ ness is not so good. Here's a pic­ ture of ex-Queen Amelie( ‘Melie’s 85) smiling at the news that her nephew, Henri of Orleans, is be­ ing asked to return to his native country. Henri and his atteaches, tribe and all, were un-y'oyal- familied officially not long-ago, but the folks changed their mind. The head that wears the crown is still a bit uneasy.

' -HOW TO WN FfHENDS and Author of ^ ^INFLUENCEPE6PIE'$3 Carnegie ' S i i f t i t i tB S for. S uccess SJERE ‘ARE SOME sure-fire suggestions which w ill 'direct you • bn yo.ur path toward success. I found them in a timely littla volume called “L iv e a New Lite,” published last spring by Pro­ fessor David Gu? Powers. 'And every one of these suggestions is easily followed if your mental attitude is right: 1 1-JCnltivit* the attitude of agreement. This is the very core pf persuasion, ‘.‘afreet reasonableness." Two or more minds com­ ing together to seek understanding set the pattern of agreement On the other hand, truculence cre­ ates truculence.14** 2-AAceept u thfjr axe and seek to Under­ stand than . -Tnfire is a point of course, where a man must taka the isolated peak and break w ith it all for clear principle, but until it comes he must work, if ha would be of use, w ith men as they are. As long as good in them overbalances the evil, let him work w ith that for the best that can be got. , 3—When dispute arises ask yourself, “How far can I go along w ith his views?” You may be amazed a t the number of concessions you can really make before points of difference arise, and agreement in minor points often prevents issues from arising. 4— Assure the-apposition that an agreement can be reached. Thomas A. Morgan advises; “I never assume that there is a fight. In fact, I te ll the other person there isn’t a fight, and ask his help with the problem.” 5— Establish areas o f agreement, and agreements w ill follow, in any dispute, be-more than ready to compromise. The wise man continually seeks modifications which w ill create harmony. He snows that each item c f agreement builds toward the next one by setting the pattern. Time spent in creating a mood of agree- ment is w ell invested. Follow the path*o f nature to a man’s mind; pre^nt your story to his senses. For “the mind must yield to evi­ dent things.” Remember there is nothing In the mind that was not previously in the senses. Make demonstration a part of your thinking process. Visual­ ize every aspect o f your cause. Search your cause or product for its uniqu#nefs. Ask yourself, “How. can.

While there have been increased purchases of some military items, as a re­ sult of increased defense appro­ priations, and the national de­ fense establishment arid the na­ tional security resources hoard have been making surveys of fa­ cilities available for war produc­ tion purposes in case of need, top-ranking Washington officials insist "war is-.not imminent, and point out thera can be no general industiral mobilization or govern­ ment controls and rationing pro- until Plan No. 4 was disapproved be­ cause it did not carry out the re­ organization of the Department of Agriculture recommended by the Hoover Commission.

The efficiency to be gained in admin­ istration seems to me small com­ pared to the danger of Presiden­ tial and political domination. I did not feel so strongly in the case of the boards other than the FCC, because their func­ tions do not ordinarily involve political questions. t * * * > rjpHE.plans approved do not gen- A erally purport to save any money, but only to promote effi­ ciency. One exception probably is the Maritime Commission, whose administration has been much sub­ ject to criticism and has appar­ ently resulted in wasteful expen­ ditures in large amount. I feel that the transfer of the administrative functions to. the Department of Commerce may well effect sub­ stantial savings, always assuming that the Secretary really wishes to save money. - I voted against one plan which was approved,'the transfer of the powers of the Commissioner, of Patents to the Secretary of Com­ merce. The Patent Office has al­ ways been independent. Its func­ tions are largely judicial in deter­ mining the validity o'f patents. It has been in the Department of Commerce; but I see no reason why we should give the Secretary" of Commerce power to pass on the validity of patents himself. The plan, however, was approved, and the Secretary of Commerce says he will delegate the power right back to the Commissioner of Patents, so that no harm can be done under ' his Administration. But we may all rem'ember that Henry Wallace was once Secretary’ofCommerce!: The statutes and-plans so fa r approved are said to carry out 35 per cent of the Hoover Com- .mission recommendations. Most of those which save money-have "not yet been submitted. "They will produce a much more strenuous battle than anything we have seen. Under provisions of the reor­ ganization act of 1949,’ President- Truman has sent to the congress a plan to create a new government department—probably to be call­ ed the welfare department—iiit0 which ail the health,, education and social security activities 0f the federal government would be consolidated under the supervi­ sion of a new cabinet member. A similar reorganization plan, sub­ mitted by Mr. Truman last year was rejected by congress, so strong opposition to the new pian is expected. If the new depart­ ment is created, Oscar Ewing present head of the federal se­ curity agency and strong pro. ponent of the president's health insurance or “socialized medicine” '-4H&F S., Between Hainan and French Isds-Chtaa,tie* the.

And, we might add, •when love stops growing it ceases to be' love in its richest sense.'For ' love, especially married love, deepens with the years. Then why are there so many divorces? One reason is that ;" while love by its very nature continues to grow, human be­ ings often stop growing at some period of their lives. Yon ! have Seen, mature men with doll wives; and fine- women - with playboyhusbands because, though they may have started together on the same .plane of love, one or thq-other didn't de- velop his capacity for shared - affection and experience.

People used to say that opposites attract each other. Now we know that the kind of person we are determines the kind of person we ..attract and are attracted to. “To the degree that you be­ lieve there is a ‘one and only,* - meant for you, you feel inse­ cure. How in*the world can you know which one it is, and how can you be sure that, like ships, you won’t ‘pass to the night’? But if you believe that a happy marriage results from being the kind of person who will attract the kind of person you want to marry, then yon don’t have to w ait aro u n d for three, five or v ’ years until the 'right person4 comes along# BuLyou can begin ‘.c.day to be the kind of person w ’.cm more and more people like to be around and whom eventually a great many people might like to have as a mate.” Mr. -Eckhart says that surveys show the best chances of staying married come with choosing some­ one who can be depended on, who is even-tempered, thoughtful, kind, considerate, helpful, friendly, bon* est and affectionate. Yet haven't you seen many a lad or young misr with these qualities shining all over them passed up for someone with a slicker pompadour or a cqme-oa smile? Unfortunately, this has been true ever since the days of Aesop—-but it is only the “now and then’* truth which gets the headlines. In the vast majority of successful marriages attraction has been coupled with admiration for each, other’s sterling qualities. One word of comfort to the young person whose marriageable quali­ ties aren't all on the surface—you couldn’t imitate the “wolf” or the “temptress” if you tried—and in acting out of character you may miss the chance to win a mate with your own more lasting charms. sex perverts now employed by .the federal,, government. Special at­ tention will be given to the se­ curity risks entailed by the em­ ployment of such persons. I t has been learned that the former Na­ zi government of Germany, well as the Russian Soviet gov ernment, has kept a list of, anc a careful check on, such person1 employed in government posi­ tions.
