San Simeon, California
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
a 5 AN American who knows
~ no greater love than that
of country, feel an enor-
nous gratitude 90 you for the un-
swerving courage you have shown
I'm your determination To thwart
the menacing communistlc propa-
ganda that has sought TO poison
and destroy our nation.
Your voice has been n buIwark
behind which the freedoms COM
munism would destroy, have been
able TO rally.
lou have Ted this fight from the
beginning, sensing the danger from
afar when all too many of your
countrymen were asleep to their
peril.
You have awakened some.
Their numbers are growing
daily. But there remains much 10
be done n no one better than
yourself knows.
IL Is simple matter 10 dispose
OF the mob of illlteratcs who boldly
march behind the red flag and
Justify sing the Intcrnationale.
We all realize exactly how 10
deal with an obvious menace.
One Of the first lessons of child
hood Is that red flag or a red
light is signal Of imminent dan
ger.
Childhood in It's simplicity heeds
the warning.
But there are two classes who
are disposed to ignore these warn
ings.
First ilr plain fools who risk the
lives of themselves and others by
laughing at red lights and red
flags and think they are not in
tended seriously.
The other and more dangerous
class is the deliberately coIor-blind
person, and that class provides the
real peril.
This class can see all right, but
TO them thr fr1 light by series
~ grotcsquc distortions becomes
pink and finally al sense of color
distinction passes and they con
tend that rcd is really cIcarcst
white.
These arc our pink or parIor So
clalists.
This word socialist Is a part of
their color-blindnes,
In reality il Is communism.
Many OF the leaders in This color
blind army are college graduates,
often sons and daughters OF well
to-do parents. and who have been
educated BY teachers who have
never appreciated the vital impor-
lance OF OUR democracy.
The little learning of these grad
yates makes them dangerous be
cause +Aer-are -G4sl-ilIncA- h1-CdllCa-

acy, the attack il on youth.

unthinking must Dc met 10y coun-
ter enthusiasm and vistas of the
inspiring opportunities which only
exist uNlcr democracy like ours.
Sedition il organized, militant
and active.
Common sense and loyalty must
organize and not smugly sit by and
watch the destruction go on.
we have the best of the logic of
the argument. for We have for $50
years of successful government be-
hind us With unparalleled exam
pies OF individual opportunities.
The history of our nation when
IL is 10 be written a century or
more hence will reveal i'm clear oh

lection by those who gave their
lives that we might live as free
men.

Sincerely yours.

Ivy and philodendron and san

air through the Summer months.

After the gloxinia has
bloomed, withhold the water
and give the plant a rest. II
will bloom again. Just store IL

Surprise Sandwiches

Surprise sandwiches are al
ways a JOY to children. Have
you ever tried chopping hard
cooked eggs and mixing with
chopped olives, chopped shrimp
and mayonnaise? Deviled ham
or finely minced pickle might be
used in place Of shrimp.
For a sweet filling combine I
cup chopped prunes. L teaspoon
lemon Juice, ! tablespoon straw
berry jam and u cup coarsely
chopped nut meats. Spread on
buttered white or whole wheat
bread.
A picnic speciality which serves
equally we'll as the principal at
traction for more formal lunch
con or supper tables is ham loaf
flavorful. substantial, a ia
vorite with appeutes both old
and young.
Bake in ring mold or loaf :.
the latter. of course. is more
popular for picnic service. Vary
the seasonings if you wish a
dash of ground Glove. finely
chopped onions or chives may
suit the special tastes of your
family and guests. Accompany
II with mustard dressing.

Barbecue

The older folks like some type
of meat for broiling or barbe-

hamburger patties and separate
with pieces OF waxed paper.
These can be easily broiled in a

Question: have hot air heat with
large furnace, and good draft.
I fire it almost continually, but still
I am unable to get enough hot air
through the registers to heat the
rooms. have just bought the house,
so that I do not understand the
workings of the furnace. Can you
make any suggestions?
Answer-Experimenting with the
dampers in the hot air pipes in the
cellar may show what is wrong. If
not, have the plant inspected by a
heating man. With a hot air system
it is an advantage to attach a blower
which will force the warm air
through the pipes in greater volume
than would otherwise be possible.
House Alterations.
Question: recently purchased a
six-room house of Colonial type,
about eighty years old. Where can
I get advice as to changes that
want to make that would keep them
within the style of a house of this
type?

architect. II you do not know one,

estate agents for the names of archi-
tects who are doing work in that

Pointing Glazed Tile

To paint the hard and glossy sur
face of glazed tile is likely to be a
problem unless close attention is
paid to details of mixing and ap-
plication. Mix thoroughly together
one part of floor varnish and four
parts of fiat wall paint. Both paint
and varnish should be of high quail
ity materials. Apply one good coat
to the tile surface. This will dry with
fair gloss. which may be lessened-
after the paint has become thor
oughly dry-by light rubbing with
fine steel wool. Follow this with a
coat of heavy paste paint reduced
to the desired consistency with fiat
ting OIL if you wish a fiat or nearly
fiat finish. If higher gloss is de-
sired add a larger proportion of
varniSh.

1941 Peak in Low-Rent
Housing Program Seen

The Nations public loW-rent hous-
ing program, integrated with de-
fense needs, will reach its peak
activity in 1941, Administrator
Nathan Straus of the United States
Housing Authority states. He added:
I'm this new year the United
States Housing Authority will fur
ther extend its efforts on three
fronts-slum clearance and the
building of decent homes for the
overcrowded lower income groups in
our cities; rural houSing-adequate
livable homes for farm families, and
defense housing-homes for work.
erS in the centers of defense in
dustry, of military and naval ac-
tivity.
To-day approximately 100000 peo-
pie are living in low rent housing
projects that are under jurisdiction
of the U. S. H. A. This number is
increasing about 5000 a month.
AS impressive as this figure is, it is
but token of the need of this
Nation for better housing for the
less fortunate among its citizens.
THE income of the average FAM
lily in the United States is only
81 ,620. To many Americans this
figure will seem quite small. But
they must remember that one-third
of our families have much less than
this-less than S860-far too little
to support them decently and
healthfully. 1t is this group that
U. S. H. A. primarily is aiding.
Bad housing leads to i'll health
and poor citizenship. And this is a
period in the Nations life when it
needs good health and good citizen
ship more than ever before in its
history.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a girl
of 81. Have been engaged for the
last two years to a young man of %.
When I first met him he had no
job and during the last three years
he has held five positions. Has been
able to keep none. At present he is
earning 500 a week, which is the
most he ever made in his life. The
possibility of his ever making more
is out of the question because of his
lack of training and ambition. He
comes of a poor and shiftless family,
one which will not even try to
achieve even the barest necessities
of life This would not matter so
much il he was not so much like
them. His temperament at times
is most unbearable and his negli-
gence in his personal appearance
is something not to be mentioned.
He is rude and unfriendly toward
my family and friends. I come from
a family in moderate circumstances;
have everything a girl could wish
for and am an expert beauty opera
tor making good money. Lately this
boy and myself have been having
so many quarrels that I have sug-
gested that We break our engage
ment, but he only has f1t of tenn
per and ignores the matter. Do you
