Book Highlights

Almost a century ago the Ameri-
can frontier pushed westward. His
tory books give us a glimpse of
this great exodus, of wagon trains
pushing west, of all heroic peo-
pie battling plains, deserts, noun.
tains and to reach a Prom
ised Land.
But it remains for John Weld
to tell the inside story of of
these great caravans, a city in mo-
ton, in his new novel, Don't You
Cry for U.s. (Scribners: $2.75).
Weld traces the fortunes of the
individuals who make up a wagon
train, follows their plodding oxen
from Independence, Mo-, to SUIT
tcr's Fort. And if Yields pace
seems slow, it is because it
matches the 2G.mlle a day pace
CT the train.
Weld gathers his characters at
independence. The rich and poor,
the farmer and city worker, the
gentleman and the slave. fighting
men and towards, wives and
sWeethearts-all following the
rainbow. There are Captain Dan
johnson, the leader, Nell and
George Lansing, Asa Harper, DR..
Carruthers, the hapless Withers
family, and some 500 others,
banding together. sharing happi-
ness and hardship, success and de.
feat in their long, tedious trek.
This is no single story, but a
story of a hundred stories, any
one of which would provide a
wealth of material for a single
novel. Weld might have confined
his novel to the Illicit love affair
of Asa Harper and Nell Lansing;
he might have made johnson his
principal hero, restricting himself
to the troubles and sacrifices a
wagon train leader faced. Or he
might have written his story
around DR.. Carruthers, the hard
drinking physician who tried to
ease physical and mental pain dur.
ing the long journey.
But Weld tells the story of an
entire wagon train. The personal
history of young Shannon, the
plantation owners son who ran
away with a 9uadroon, is no more
important than that of the Witbers
family and their tragic deaths in
a prairie fire.

IT is important to have a planned

the home or in the hospital. In
some places visiting or puollc

resources, mothers may receive

If a well-equipped hospital with
separate maternity service is avail
able with consultation services on

Medical Care
By LOGA NCLENDENING, Nj. D
What is the treatment of dry
ScaIn and danruff?

Dry scalp in most instances is
due to a type of skin Inflammation
called "seporrhea sicca." The prin-
cipal characteristic Of this is a dry,
scaling scalp. The scales themselves
may be oily. The hair and scalp are
lusterless and the latter is OF a
srayish hue. There nay be mod.
crate itching.
Dandruff is simply the common
name for the scales which fall off
in seborrhea sicca of the scalp.
Once the disease is arrested, it
usually requires continued atten-
ton for a further period to prevent
recurrence.
The first element of treatment is
to keep the scalp clean by frequent
washing with SOAP and water. 1t is
Impossible to say how frequently
this should be done because it de-
ponds on how scaly the scalp is. On
the average the scalp should be
washed once a week, but with Sc.
borrhea sicca this should be done
several times a week.
Various Inducements are used for
drV SCALP.

What is the value of cheese
as al article of dieto

Cheese has high food value. 1t
is one of our chief sources of cal
cium. American cheese contains
about o. per cent of calcium, Swiss
cheese about one per cent. Cheese
also contains much vitamin A. One
pcrnd of cheese furnishes over
1000 calories and represents the
proteins and fats of about a gallon
of milk. Cheese even takes the place
of meat because it's proteins are
complete. One ounce of cheese
equals two eggs or eight ounces of
milk or three ounces of meat.

LIBERTY OUR HERITAGE
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

Patrick eHnry's declaration "Give
me liberty or give me death" finds
an echo in every true mans heart, no
matter what may be his race, his
color or his creed. This desire for
liberty was planted by the Creator.
Therefore, those who stand in the
way of its accomplishment and its full
fillment are fighting against Gods
decree.
To most of US it is a priceless
heritage. But while we have gloried
in our freedom, some of US have for
gotten the price with which our free
dom was purchased. We have enjoy
ed liberty as though it were a gift
which carried with it no obligation,
and we have been reckless spend
thrifts of our inheritance.
While we have been enjoying liber-
ty without discipline, the people in
the totalitarian countries have been
subjected to discipline without liber-
ty. They have been Systematically
hardened for brutal combat while we
have been softened through indiffer-
ence, self-indulgence and sheer lazi-
ness. he virtues which dominated
the fathers Of our country, who
through great sacrifice won for us
the freedom and liberty which we
still enjoy, have been replaced by
sophistication and wise-cracking, and
we are permitting crack-pots and ir-
responsible agitators to insult our
constitution and ridicule our form of
government.
We have viewed with indulgence
'scds;s # movements who frankly de-
sisreo that they are trying to create
class hatred and race prejudice in our
midst, and condoned politicians who
are too spineless to protest against
those who are boldly laying the
foundations for our destruction. The
same tactics indulged in in the coun-
tries which they hold up as idealistic
would send them to a concentration
camp or before a firing squad.
When such enemies of our country
flaunt their contempt in our faces,
the time has come for every loyal
American to stand up in his wrath and
speak out as a loyal citizen, particu-
larly as we are now confronting
forces which threaten our future as
a Republic of free men and women.
Every true American should vigor-
ously oppose those whose sole pur-
pose is our destruction and humilia-
tion, lest we be subjected to the rule
of those who are opposed to the prin-
ciples Of freedom and liberty which
were bought at 50 great price, and
which have made America the haven
for the oppressed of all nations.
