THE PARADE Only a few' years ago, the press agent says, Kay Morrow was „ walking barefoot along the dirt roads around Eellpont, Ark. That’s the best way to travel dirt roads, authorities agree. A few stone bruises now and then, but low outlay and upkeep on transporta­ tion in general. Now she is TV’s fashion authority. She makes dresses and wears them perfect­ ly . Statuesque, they describe her. They grow 'em like that in Arkan­ sas. It puts ’em more on the level with the squirrles in the tr ce=. The parade forms in the back- w o o d s lanes and marches straight to the metropolis boule­ vards. Else there would be no America, at least no press age nts, which is just another way of say­ in g the same thing. PLENTY OF MEAT Packers and producers insist that we will have plenty of meat, war or no war. Drive around Greene county and see the cattle and hogs and sheep in the fields and you'll imagine that on .be basis o f supply and demand there ought to he enough meat to last all the world from now on; but then travel around a bit and see the number o f people and you begin to wonder how they ever get enough to eat. Same .way with shoes and sox and things. Or.o thing is certain, i f there is a world war it will take a lot o? sharing o f meat, ar.d everything else, HANDLING OFFENDERS Wreckless and drunken drivers make the highways dangerous. Harsh handling o f such offenders is the only solution to the prob­ lem they* create, in the opinion o f police and traffic authorities. As­ sessing fines does not produce re­ sults. “ They pay the fines and go right on offending,” officers say. Canceling drivers* licenses is the most effective method. I f he can’t drive, he .can’t offend. Jail sen­ tences, too, help, and around the country the combination is being tested to solve the constant and growing problem o f wreckless driving.

BROWN Write* While the military situation n Korea is somewhat more encour­ aging as this column is being written, official Washington is keeping a close watch on three possible danger points—Formosa, Indo-China, and Iran—where new moves of aggression by Commun­ ist forces may come at any time. Red Chinese troops have long been in position to attempt an in­ vasion of Formosa. Other Commu­ nist Chinese armies are near the Indo-China border. The northern provinces of Iran are seething with Communism and an inspired revolt may break out there any time, giving a perfect excuse for Soviet troops to enter and put- down the uprising. Congress is expected to wind up its consideration o f all import­ ant legislation by Friday or Sat- uiday night of this week. While Sy.aker Rayburn and Senate Majority Leader Lucas—and prob- r.bly Fiesdient Truman—would like to have congress adjourn sine die, the administration can not get sufficient votes fo r such an adjournment.

One clay recently he noticed the label on a record. “ f7hat dees that say?” he asked, pointing to the title letters. Ills mother told him that was the name of the recerd. With the light ef discovery ir. bis eyes, Den picked up each record in turn, “And tills is the name cf this rec­ ord,” (he pointed a chubby finger at the title) “ and this is the name of this one.” Then he noticed the letters on the record album and wanted to knew what they said. . Now he’ s curious about the print­ ing on cereal boxes, in. magazines and books. Kis mother wonders if she ought to try to help him learn to read. He’ll enter kindergarten this fall, end the teacher will, of course, take up the main job of teaching him to read. Most teachers welcome sound parental help. In Donald’s case, it is advisable for Ms mother to begin reading work with him because now is the time he seems to want it. When a child expresses a desire to learn a skill, the time is ripe for teaching, The best time to teach reading differs with each child. Donald is showing readi­ ness earlier than most hoys, who usually develop this in­ terest later than do girls. ■Methods o f teaching reading change through the years. The ABC method ha3 yielded to the phonetic method and the “look and say” method in turn. If your child is already receiving formal reading instruction in school it will be well to discuss Ms reading with his teacher and follow her suggestions. With a younger child, if you have found happiness and satisfaction in helping him learn to walk and talk you will be able to tune your­ self to his growth and in the same pleasant way help him to see meaning in words. You are pretty sure of success if it is fun for your youngster and you. After picture hooks, you can supply your child with hooks which have a sequence of pic­ tures telling a story. They help a child’s eyes get used to mov­ ing from left to right. When he begins to read tell him that we read in this direction. Sweep your hand under the line from left to right. Simple story hooks, with pictures giving a . clue to the words underneath will probably interest the child next. Large print, of course, is best for young eyes. And capital letters are the ones children learn first. Nouns will probably be remem­ bered best, while the words that seem simplest to adults—the, a, was, and, hut, for, than—are the ones which confuse children the most. Here’s .where your patience and good hu...or are needed. No matter how many times he mis­ calls a simple word like «?“ the,” don’ t scold. Nor is there cause for alarm if he says “ was" for “ saw? etc. because many children see words backwards until they are eight or nine years old. As your child progresses to more advanced reading, don’t take away his “ baby hooks.” Going back to ■diem, finding how easily he can read their 6tories, will give a child Ms first idea o f what reading is meant to be—a key that opens treasure filled storehouses, magi­ cally, easily, rewardingly, . _j From C. D. Buckley of Kipton, O.: “ I remember when I could get a haircut and a shave at the local barber’s for 25 cents.” From Harry Byerly of Loxley, Ala.: “ I remember when men’ s and. boy’ s clothing was stacked up in piles in cloth­ ing stores. This n a t u r a l l y put c r e a s e s in all suits. When the clothier s o l d a suit he was made to take It to a tailor and have t h e c r e a s e s pressed out. Why? B e c a u s e w i t h qreases, the suit looked like a ready­ made garment or ‘hand - me - down’ and not many men wanted the dis­ tinction of wearing anything but tailor-made suits. Besides, creases ir. trousers were considered ‘sissi- fied’ in those days. I’m still a lit­ tle prejudiced against creases al­ though. I do w ear’ em, sometimes.” From Mrs. Mary Stewart of Chi­ cago: “ I remember the pride housewives took in their heating stoves. There were several well- known makes on the market— Acorn, Jewel, Garland, Eclipse and others much trimmed with nickel. Clean, shiny, hard coal was $3.50 per ton. The schoolboy’s job was to take out the ashes, sift them for unbumed coals to put back in the stove, then haul in three buckets from the woodshed at the end of the lot. When the stove was dusted, shaken 'down and put in order for the next 24 hours, he would get the kerosene can and run to the grocery store for a gal­ lon or two of oil. Sister would then proceed to clean the lamp, chim­ neys, trim the wicks and fill the lamps. With all these household tasks to do, there was practically no delinquency in those days.”- "HQW TO WINFRIENDS and Author i INFLUENCEPEOPLE'S’ of i Trust theMercy of the Court Y E O J.

He illustrates it w ith the follow ing story; One cold night in December h e was caught in a sleet storm about 20 miles from his home, when his car broke down on the highway. To make matters worse, his w ife and their little 15- - month-old son were w ith him. Finally he aban­ doned the car and got home. In a few days he was served w ith a summons to appear in night court to explain why he had left his car on the highway over night. Carnegie in a few hours in an emergency. We feel congress should remain in session as long as American boys are on the battlelines. The congress has agreed upon and sent to the White House its first regular omnibus appropri­ ation bill carrying total appro­ priations o f $35.5 billion. Last Saturday the house also passed an emergency supplemental appro­ priation bill, as requested by the president, totalling $16 billion 7000 million, including $10 bil­ lion more for the national de­ fense establishments and another $4 billion for the arming of friendly foreign nations. So over­ all appropriations fo r the present .fiscal year, which expires June 30, 1951, have already reached more than $62 billion, with other presidential requests for funds to come later unless the wprld situation clears up rapidly While the senate armed serv­ ices committee has recommended legislation to establish a universal military training program, under which‘all American boys reaching^ the age o f 17 would register and take six months to a year’s train­ ing before rebelling the age of 20, congress will take no action on the proposal before November, if then. President Truman is not pressing for UMT at this time. The national defense establish­ ment is hard-put at this time to find necessary facilities and o f ficers for training the reserves and draftees now being called co the colors. Military leaders are advising members of congress a UMT program now would seri­ ously interfere with the present war effort. Already over $24 billion* have been appropriated for military and other defense purposes, ex-, elusive of the five and a quarter . billion dollars set aside for arm­ ing friendly foreign nation. Plans are being made at the Pentagon ^ for the spending of at least $36, billion a year fo r the next three- or four years for military pur-| poses, even though World War III should not burst into full bloom. Rumors and reports are reach­ ing Washington as to the develop-, ment of so-called black market! activities in scarce goods and ma- j terials, especially in steel anil! metals, lumber and building nuv-j terials. . j Washington political observers! believe the boom for General- Eisenhower fo r president in 1952! will be greatly deflated as a re-i suit of the Korean war. The gen­ eral had quite a part in setting up American defense plans, in­ cluding cutting down the navy and marine corps, and in divid­ ing up military funds. ’ - Both the hous.e and senate last week passed bills to pay depend­ ency benefits to the families of the three lowest grades of en­ listed men. Non-commissioned and commissioned officers above these grades already receive family al­ lowances. The government would pay from $45 to $85 per month tn dependents, while the enlisted man woud have $40 deducted from his monthly pay for family use. The war production or econom­ ic controls hill is expected to clear congress this week, as both the house and senate have already acted favorably on the legislb- -tion, although adopting slightly different versions. While the final hill will _authorize and require the president to control prices and wages at the same time, and to institute rationing whenever he deems such action necessary, it is being predicted he will not do so before the Nevember elec­ tion. Organized labor groups ate already beginning to demand wage increases. So look for higher prices and further inflation in the weeks and months ahead. Here’s the way the United States and her allies would*stack up against Russia in case var should come tomorrow: Armed forces—Allies 3.3 million men, Russia 4.8 million. Combat planes —-Allies 14,000, Russia 16,000. Total navy combat vessels— Al­ lies 1,154, Russia 449. Tanks— Allies 6,000, Russia 40,000. Ac­ cording to the best information available, Russia is today pro­ ducing twice as many planes as the United States, eight times as many tanks, oneAhird as much steel, and one-fifth as much oil. J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI picked up a couple more for treasonable activities last week. They were Morton Sobell of New York, who had fled to Mexico, and Sanford Simons of Denver. There are more arrests to come.; Governmento InCropPrices It is indicated that the govern ment may raise crop price guar­ antees for the coming season. The department of agriculture reports a 3 percent rise in the rural price level since last No­ vember to offset more than one- third of the price reductions dur­ ing the previous 16 months. The government is required by law to support prices of corn, wheat and many other products at 90 percent of parity. Parity is the yardstick for measuring farm prices, declared by law to be fair to both producers and buyers. Parity prices for most agricul­ tural commodities are running higher now than they did a year ago. They rise and fall with changes in the prices of goods and services used by farmers in producing crops and in family living. When he arrived in the courtroom, there were only three people, the judge, the state trooper and himself. It was the procedure in that court fo r the judge to leave the courtroom while the defendant told his story to the arresting officer. He started on the story, noting th e cold, apparently im­ movable expression on the officer’s face. However, as he said he knew he was guilty so h e couldn’ t plead any other way, that o ffi­ cer relaxed a little. When th e judge re-entered, the officer pro­ ceeded to appoint h imself as Mr. Squillante’s attorney. He told the judge the story fa r m ore sympathetically and effectively than Mr. Squillante cou ld have done. The judge asked, “What is you r plea?” “Guilty,” came the reply. j 1 “No, don’ t do that,” said the judge. “ Do you know what Nolo Contendere means?” “ Does it mean, *1 don’t wish to figh t?’ ” s “ That’s right,” said the judge. “ In other words, you place yourself at the m ercy o f the court,” “ I plead N olo Contendere.” ? .«•- “ Case dismissed,” said the judge, who was human and under­ standing, as are many officers when the case warrants it, but ________ _ ■?____ ___________ ^ . ii _ i _ FOR SALE GALVANIZED Corn Storage Bins -600 Bushel Capacity!
