A HUMANE MEASURE
{ San Diego UniOn)

(San Diego Umon)
In the midst of all the controversy over
compulsory health insurance genuine
health conservation measure has been
proposed in the state legislature IN the
form of a measure to provide for treat
ment of spastic children. 1t is estimated
that there are some 10000 of these un-
fortunate little ones in California, mostly
victims of accidental brain injury at
birth.
Until recently, these cases have been
largely bypassed as incurable. Research
and science, however, have proven other
wise and in many cases almost miraculous
results are obtained from treatment Al
ready large number of children have
been saved from tragic futures by patient
and intelligent work of the medical pro-
fesSion.
Certainly no greater obligation could
rest upon society and the state than the
reclamation of these spastic children. 10
make them sound and healthy citizens,
instead of letting them be condemned to
helplessness. is also sound business.
Private philanthropy has helped to
carry on reclamation program with a
large measure of success, but the job IS
properly one that calls for ample aid and
full cooperation from the state.

TWO AND STRIKES
Sacramento Bee)

(SacramentO Bee
The homefront labor strikes tieing Up
production of the very weapon needed by
the brave marines who are fighting the
bitter, costly battle for Two Jlma, DO not
make sense to the average patriotic Amer
lean.
And the worst part of the incongruous
picture is that most of the strikes are
over trivial grievances which should have
been settled by Is minutes conference
This is true particularly of the walk
out of $4,000 employees of the Chrysler
corporations Dodge plant, engaged IN
the manufacture of plane engines, air
craft guns and rockets, in protest over
the discharge of eight men for loatlng.
Visiting the Pacific battle areas, Secre,
tary of the Navy Forrestal has warned
the people of the United States that the
maximum homefront effort will be need
ed if America is to retain her superiority
in the war with Japan.
Certainly, labor strikes are not the way
TO assume maximum effort. And what
ever happened to the no strike pledge?

THE police who patrol the narrow,
twisting streets of the British
capitals Limehouse district knew
that important doings were going on
the other day when they saw two
husky young Chinese holding to the
skinny arms Of old 10y Lum and
walking him into the tong house
But their curiosity did not move them
to follow the silent trio; the men
were not breaking the law.
The Smoke-filled chamber was
packed almost to its dragon-emblaZ-
oned doors with members, but the
defendant, 10y Lum, a too-talkative
matmaker, avoided the accusing eyes
of his old friends.
10y Lum," said the chief Judge,
you have been found guilty of be-
traying secrets of this honorable So
ciety. For that unforgivable offense
our ancient law provides death. That
sentence is now ordered"
A tall man wearing a headSman'S
mask came forward with two as
sistants. They bound the submissive
Lum and forced him to kneel. The
headSman raised his broad, heavy
sword, poised tensely, then swung.
The blade missed the culprit's
neck by a hairs breadth - as the
headSman intended it should For
the execution was token one, to
meet the demands of rigid tong law
without bloodshed.
The judge solemnly pronounced
the trembling 10y dead" and the
members filed out
For a long time 10y lay on the
floor Though the sword had spared
him, he felt no JOY, because the

FIFE is getting complicated IN
for Senior Battini Ricco. "
R@ He's happier than he's I'm
ever been in his % years, and N
more prosperous, but he's
downright miserable because his
neighbors in the Brazilian town of
Canotama are mad at him.
The handsome young farmer is
happy because the girl of his dreams
has said Eyes," and because an uncle
died, leaving him enough to keep him
and his bride-tobe in comfort for the
rest of their days.
He's miserable about Minna. She's
a spook and she's disappeared. Bat
tinis neighbors say he kidnapped the
ghost-girl.
This curious mixture of good luck
and bad that has come to Senior Rieco
began one night in the local park,
where Minna used to walk-always at
the stroke of midnight and in the light
of the full moon.
Just who Minna was when she was
"ef the earth" is a much-debated ques-
ton. One story makes her an ex-In-
dian princess who was murdered cen
turieS ago, on the spot now occupied
ny Ile park. AHOlIleI local IeBenQ
says she's saint who visits the place
now and then to show the Canota-
manians she's especially interested in
their welfare.
Battini Ricco went to the parl. one
night and took some of his friends
with him. He wanted to talk with
Minna because he wasn't getting along
so well with his girl, who was accept
ing the attentions of another suitor
An alleged eyewitness of the
strange rendezvous tells the story
this way:
'Thees night Minna ees little late
and she seem very sad. Battini shakes
and is afraid, but we give him the
courage. We keep still like the mouse
while he walk to big rosebush. When
Minna come to thees bush Battini fall
on the knees and say the prayers.

Every night of the full moon many
people sit on the benches in the little
park on the banks of the winding
Tapaua River. They scan the shifting
shadows and the wiSps of mist that
rise from the ambling stream. But
they haven't seen hide nor hair of the
elusive Minna.
Senior Ricco is praying that they
will If only for his own sake.

disappear down the street where Bat

and then we are the ones who are
afraid. So that's why we go to Ric-
co.'s house. He is already gone to
the bed
He is surprise that we wake him.
He tells us-who saw with our own
eyes-that Minna did not walk down
the street with him, that she vanished
at the park gate. So we are angry at
Battini because he tell us the lie, be-
cause Minna has not come back and
because many Of us have the bad luck

Senior Ricco admits
that, after his talk with
Minna, his girl gave up her other boy
friend and promised to marry him.
that stable legacy fell in his lap.
But he denies that Minna walked
home with him, or that he knows
her whereabouts.
