There are about 375 baseball players in the Ameri- can league, of which l30 are 4-F's. Baseball moguls says: "If the 4-F's are barred from base. ball, the game will have to be played by old men,. The sem ate Campaign Expenditures Com mittee talks of removing the $3,OOO, 900 limit on the amount of money a political committee can spend in an election campaign. They claim this limit is unwork- able. The Committee also pro- poses lifting the $25,000 limit for individual Senator's campaigns and the limit of 5000 each for ang single contribution to poli- tical committee. Thus, gradually, the old Hatch Act is whittled down. Colonel Harry Vaughan, now Military Aide to Vice Presi- dent Truman, was formerly his secretary. Vaughan is now vir- tually back on the office staff in uniform. Not as many people know about Elmer Trey as know of J.

Local women school teachers would certainly not be too pleased with an article in the current issue of Columbia, national Knights of Columbus magazine. Entitled orphan Annie's Big Brother Teaches School" and authored by Philip Burke it argues that the man teacher should get more than the woman. The crux of his argument is that the salary check is not the real pay".

HAVE CHILDREN WHILE YOU
 MAY

From the indlgant tone of nus merous recent letters I infer that some readers did not like what I said here recently about having children when you are young and flt and happy.
 Mrs. M. c. hopes the time will come when social living (just what social living means I am not sure, unless 1t means the state) will guarantee couples like herself and her husband two babies, no more, no less, the health and education of every child will be the respon- sibility of the State, no stigma VIII be attached to any child, child birth will be painless, and doctors who cherish the pagan notion that reasonable amount of sufferinRs is good for @ wife or mother
 What makes Mrs, C's view inter esting is the fact that she is the mother of two children. all paid for: too, she says. She adds that 1t will take her husband and herself a few more years to get out of debt, but they are paying for their home and they are getting a taste of happi- ness I don't see what that has to do with happiness. Having a baby or two, fair health and youth that has a good deal more to do with happiness.
 c, H. A. discharged from the ar- my because of physical deficien- cy, is 20 and asserts he does not intend to buckle down and raise c family until he has enjoyed some of the things he has been denied so many years-things I'll probably call superficialities but c. H. A. bets I have them and enjoy them and would dislike being without them. Well. I don't know what things the young man means ana he does not tell.
 Then this misguided but char acteristically self-assured young man mentions things which have set him against the very idea of bringing children into the world the stupidity of mankind blowing itself to bits in this barbarous war; the experience of parents he has heard ga ythey would never have had children if they knew what they know now; the idea that the kid in the foxhole probably wishes he had never been born; and final ly the sad preview of the future one gets from visit to the veter- ans hospital. To c. H. A. life is . steam roller-dont get in the way or 1t will smash you down.
 In that article said:
 "Very well. You're man, not
 a rat. You'll be happy fl you have
 a baby, even if you haven't as fine
 clothes, furniture or front as
 many of the rats you know"
 "Or is there enough of the rat
 in you, after all, to make you
 think 1t would be better to wait
 year or two and have some fun
 or get the furniture, car or house
 paid for or get lease with a
 clause in 1t before you have a
 baby?"
 That's what mean. Now, my boy. are you 8 man or -?
