This is fire prevention week, bs-
proclamation Of the President. One
out Of every three persons who lost
their lives as a result Of fires in
the United States last year was a
farm person, the Department OF
Agriculture reports. Fire is more
hazardous on the farm than in the
city because few farms can call on
a trained fire department for as
sistance, most farms are not equip
ped with a ready water supply for
fire fighting, farm buildings usually
are not as fire resistant as city
buildings and farmers usually car
ry less fire insurance than city
people do. Farm fire prevention
suggestions have a readily avail

Rules Endorsed

Fifteen safety suggestions to be
followed in the home, as outlined
by safety experts, were endorsed
this week by the Federal Security
Agency as part of the government
program to reduce home and other
accidents and at the same time
help keep workers in critical war
plants from losing valuable time
from their jobs.
The suggestions follow:
L. Walk, do not run, especially
on stairways
2. Don't let children play where
they can get to unprotected stair
ways or climb on furniture.
3. Don't let floors become slip
perry.
4. Leave no articles lying about
the floor.

CENATOR James E. Murray
~ of Montana recently adj
dressed 1880 Detroiters in
behalf of the Murray<Wagner-
Dingell Bill for Socialized med
icine. Senator Murray's APP
parent lack of knowledge of the
oSteopathc prof c S s on was
shocking not only to members
of the oSteopathic profession
but to a large number of his
audience.
When aske d. Where do

the senator replied, They
don't. They don't practice med

he had been fully appraised
previously of the scope of

Power Politics i'm EtaI v

DREMIER STAIN of Soviet Rus
i STA has once more left his United
Nations partners flatfooted by his
unilateral recognition of the Badoglio
government in Italy.
The United States and Great
Britain, which conducted the military
campaign against Italy and brought
about the collapse of the Mussolini
government, have regarded the Ba-
doglio government as a stop-gap
reglme-correctly recognizing its in
ability to claim any authority stem
ming directly and decisively from the
Italian people.
But Russia, which had nothing to
do with the present state of affairs
IN. Italy, has opportunistically by
passed not only the Italian people
but the American and British Allies
by officially establishing diplomatic
relations with the Badoglio regime.
The discontinue of the American
and British authorities is easy to see,
and hard TO conceal.
DUT the American and British au-
- thorities are not alone in their
discontinue.
IN fact, as Capt. John H. Craige
has written for international News
Service:
"The confusion OF Communists
outside Russia as they endeauor to
folloU the betUiidering right.obout-
faces of MoScotO's party line lends a
touch of comedy 10 an otherwise grim
international situation"
Confusion should by now be the
natural state of mind Of all Commu-
nists, including the agile American
Communists.
Hanging on to the flying coat tails
of Stain, the great realIst, Is an ardu-
Gus and perplexing experience.
1t involved acceptance of the 1889
fellowship with Hitler and then the
abrupt abandonment Of that relation
ship in 1941.

Preserve the Home

and juvenile problems u0iH be i'm
nenseiy reduced"
But FIR. Flanagan has final word
of caution "to persons feeling this
type of program is the SOLUTION
to this modern day problem"
He does not think there is any
SUBSTITUTE for the American
home.
The most comprehensive and con-
structive community programs that
can be devised will never take the
place of the home.
Even FIR. Flanagan own wonder
full Boys Town institution does not
do so.
IN ALL our thinking and planning
about American youth, he says:
Eve must not forget the child's
otOn home.
Here is Uhere his natural inter-
=ests- aHdIthe-ffo ONE must be
considered the natural place of de-
Uelopment for children, spiritually,
socially and morally.
"The home must be made attrac-
tue TO our youth and the bonds of
affection and parental guidance must
continue to be the primary forces in
a childs development into good citi-
zenship."
This is the seHndest and best rea-
soning about juvenile delinquency
the American public has been priVi-
legged to hear.
1t bears out the long held and
often expressed conviction of the
Hearst neWspapers-that it is not
half so much a problem in juvenile
delinquency with which the nation
must deal as problem in adult, COM
munity and national delinquency.
TT IS not the American child who is
L our problem.
Our real problem is the negligent
home, where affection and under
standing are lacking and where train
ing in simple honesty and basic citi-
zenship are missing-and where the
fault is not with children but with
those RESPONSIBLE for children.
Organized community youth pro-
grams, properly supervised, are won
derful things, as FIR. Flanagan says.
But the enlightened, decent and
instructive American home is the
essential and indispensable thing we
must preserve.

NJ ~ w IL involves traternlZaClOn
~ with an Italian regime against
which Communist demonstrations in
Naples had been carried out at the
exact moment Stain was giving that
regime his blessing.
AS Capt. Craige comments:
There is no comedy in MoscouO's
Italian policy, only unsuOerUing deter
nination to play the game of polOer
politics to Russian GdUonfage, at any
sacrifice that may be necessary to
party line dogma previously pro-
claimed as principles"
While there is no sympathy to be
wasted in behalf of confused Commu
nists, there is grave concern to be
expressed in behalf of floundering
Allied diplomacy.
WHY should Stain be the only
w realist playing the international
game of power politics?
Why do not the American and
British authorities, which have in
turn been left flatfooted by Stain in
North Africa, in Poland, in the
Baltic republics, in Finland and now
in Italy, arouse themselves and assert
and defend and preserve the funda.
mental interests and advantages of
THEIR countries?
Stain has not Recognized" the
Badoglio government in Italy out of
friendship or benevolence.
AS Capt. Craige says, he has es-
tablished "a foothold in another
western European country"
He intends to make Italy Com
munist country, and has moved a
long way toward that purpose by
befriending, flattering and strength
ening,a regime which he already real
ICES will be at least a friendly and
cooperative regime and very proba
bly, subservient puppet regime.

iolete hegemony of Europe is swift

ER. E. j. FLANAGAN, founder of
L the Justly famous home for boys
in Nebraska that bears his name, is
a life long student of the problems
of juvenile delinquency.
His discussions of the subject
have nationally recognized authen
ITCHY.
He has not only seen the great
need for developing programs de
signed to direct neglected and way
ward~children into wholesome and
useful lives, but has actually devel-
oped such a program
His wonderful Boys Town is an
outstanding American institution,
which since its founding in 1917 has
given home and sound spiritual and
practical training to thousands of
youngsters.
Accordingly, when FIR. Flanagan
says something about juvenile delin-
quency It Is always important.
A ND he has now SAID something
a especially important.
Wherever youth organizations
which are property supervised are es-
fabiished," he observes, marked de.
creases in juvenile delinquency haze
alWays been noted"
He approves intellectually of
the "recreational center" type of
youth organization, but cautions
against making that the SOLE
purpose.
The youth organization which will
really solve the problem of juvenile
delinquency, he says, is one where
the youth through self government
program have bound themselves to-
gether to promote BETTER CITI-
ZENSHIP among their youthful
associates and to serve the commu-
nifty and at the same time plan we'll
rounded program which will keep
themselves actively engaged in
worthy while enterprises"
w. fLANAGAN does not get MS
L theories about youth out of books,
but out of his own vast experience.
One of the things he has learned
from this experience is that:
Leisure time improperly used
often is the cause of young people
becoming behavior cases.

obstetrics and other specialties

educational requirements for a
doctor Of osteopathy are two
years pre-medical and four
years college. Interneships
and postgraduate courses are
additional.
One has only TO visit any one
of the Is general osteopathie
hospitals IN Michigan (the larg-
est of which is Detroit OSteo-
pathic Hospital with capacity
of 202 beds and baSsinets) to
verify these services.
In 1910, three-quarter million
Michiganders used the services
of osteopathic physicians and
surgeons exclusively. The num-
Der certainly IS larger today.
