 ENTITLED ELECTION YEAR
 DRAFT BILL"
 Oakvilie, Conn.
 April 9, 1946.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 Mondays editorial on the Draft question was higly slanderous to our legislators in Washington to say the least. To imply that those Congressmen, who saw fit to put brakes on an Army that has gone positively wild in It's delusions, were after a few paltry votes to the detriment of American Safety and Welfare is to portray an ex- tremely cynical attitude toward the Democratic system of government. No American legislator would will fully sell America down the river for job in Congress. Those who support extended Draft legislation have some valid reasons to support their contentious without stepping to such base cynicism and insidi- ous islander.
 The editorial apparently regards General Eisenhower as possessing divine intelligence in this matter. In the first place, the military mind invariably plans according to the worst possible contingency and goes far beyond the limits of common sense in its patriotic ardor The greatest military writer of all time, Karl von ClouSewitz, recognized the necessity of placing civilians over the military and so does our American system of government God help us when we begin to listen uncritically to the military mind in peace time. For example the Navy asks for 667 900 men and a fantastic number of ships against possible enemy that only Goo knows of The English, with q worldwide empire and shipping business to patrol, are content witt 100000 men. Just what are bill. lions of the taxpayers money being spent for2 What Is this colossa Navy going to fight2-Russia s Danube River Flotillap Secondly there are many who fail to recog. nize Eisenhower as genius oi any kind, He did not show himself to brilliant advantage in the Lou iSiana maneuvers before the war his only performance that the Am. erican public can judge critically, and he certainly doesn't compare with the German generals in abil. ity. He is merely another sigr of the terrible disease afflicting the American body polite today - indescribable mediocrity in higf places.

Rearing Children
By A ngeIo Pafri

Frequently, more oftener than one
cares to think about it, parents dis
cover that they and their adolescent
children are not friends but an
tagonistic strangers. They have to
live with one another and the strain
is severe on both sides. There are
bitter arguments, tears, stubborn
SilenceS and wayWard behavior on
the part of the child: and equal
bitterness, equal unhappiness on the
part of the parents. 1t is then that
the parents ask for help from the
school, from social-service workers
from the church, from anybody
likely to influence the wayward
child-but it is a little late.
Rearing child begins at birth
He must be trained in the ways OF
the family, then, not when he is
in his adolescence. His parents must
set a plan for his growth, for his
character, for his attitude toward
them and toward society and life
during early years, not when he is
set apart from them by years OF
neglect or spelling.
Rearing a child is 24-hour-a-
day job, with no time out, for at
least or 3 yearS-and it is not
complete, then. This task calls for
all mother has to give in strength,
energy. devotion and intelligence; it
demands an understanding of the
growth of a child, of his relation
ship to society and to his own fam
lily; 1t demands knowledge in many

fields, the more the better, for all
life is unfolding to this child and
he needs guidance always.
I have heard that there are peo-
pie who can rear children by proxy
I have never seen it done. When
parents turn their children over to
others it is those others who rear
and train and educate them-they
do so according to their own pattern
and the children will lean on them,
take color and pattern from them,
love them and remain aloof from
the parents who were too busy with
more important things than chill
dren. Such folk should make no
complaint when their adolescent
children become strangers to them
There are unfortunate mothers
who are obliged to earn living for
themselves and for their children
they have to let other folk care for
the children for the greater part of
the time. They cannot help this

interests-in as many ways as pos

their children.
But parents who go their way
for Is years or so, then are as
tonished to discover that their chill
dren have no feeling of affection
or consideration for them are as
tonished at something they created
during the child's formative years.

The daily bread ration is the
mainstay Of the diet in famine-rid-
den countries. Often that is about
all there is. Mr.. Herbert Hoover
recently said, Bread has reality
as the symbol Of life as never be-
fore in history. To reduce the bread
ration has become a symbol OF Ca
lamity"
But you, Mrs. Housewife, can cut
down on the bread consumption Of
yourself and your family without
calamity or even harm to health
and vitality. Perhaps you think the
little bit you could save wouldn't
really help much. If you do, you
are wrong!
The Department Of Agriculture
tells us that If the average Ameri-
can will eat two less slices each day,
the total saving will provide a days
bread ration for 10000 900 hungry
people abroad. OF course, the hun
cry people in Europe and Asia will
not get the two slices you leave In
your bread box but 1t amounts to
the same thing.
If you and your family eat less
bread you will buy less from the
store, the store will not order so
much from the baker, the baker will
cut down on the amount of flour he
buys from the miller and therefore
the miller will use less wheat.
Presto! Wheat to ship to the famine
areas! Wheat can be shipped more
successfully than either -four or
potatoes and the extraction percent
age of mills abroad is higher than
ours here at home
In what other ways can you save
and how shall your menus be
planned in order to substitute for
this loss? Use oatmeal generously
as cereal and for stufing in meat
or fowl, and also as part of the
-four when making cookies. Keep
bread crusts in a cool, dry place to
avoid moldine. Do not cut off crusts
of bread. Use hard bread in pud-
dlngs and croquettes. Substitute
potatoes for bread and wheat cereals.
Eat plenty of green vegetables and
fresh fruits. too

suffering are not caused by the
grand passion but indigestion, and
that the remedy for it is bicarbonate
and not marriage. And. without
doubt. the greatest accomplishment
that any human being can ever
learn is how to handle the opposite
sex without friction. Generally it
takes about three divorces to do
this. And so, if it can be taught in
school, it will do more than any
other one thing to promote peace.
But when all is said and done,
the knowledge of how to be a good
husband or wife is home work. and
it is what children learn at their
parents knees that sets the pattern
OF their behavior. The teachings
OF a learned psychologist may mod
ify them, but SO times out of
hundred, by the time the honey
moon has Waned the bridal couple
are dealing with each other accord
ing to the family formula.
II a boy has always seen his
father treat his mother as if she
were still a lady love; if Dad has
been gentle and kind and consid-
crate Of Mother. it is dollars to
doughnuts that he will handle his
own wife that way. But if he has
grown up in family where the
wife's status was only that of an
unpaid servant: if he has seen her
knocked about, sworn at, her pleas
ure and her happiness never con-
sidered, the chances are that he will
make doormat Of his own wife.
And if a girl has a mother who
is henpecker and a nagger and
who regards her husband as moth
ing but a slave to earn money for
| her, II her mother is lazy. slovenly
housekeeper who feeds her family
on food that will kill an ostrich.
the betting is that she will run true
to form and make just the kind of
wife that Mother does.
OF course. there are exceptions to
every rule, and this is true of mar
riage as OF everything else, For.
while boys and girls do almost al
ways make the kind of husbands
and wives that their parents are,
there are cases in which they revolt
against the family pattern. Many
man Is over-tender to his wife
because his father was so harsh
to his mother. Many a wife spoils
her husband to death because she
was always so sorry for her poor,
doWntrodden father.
Undoubtedly, teaching youngsters
in college the rudiments of how to
select their mates and how to make
marriage the blessed estate it should
be will be provocative of much good
and save many divorce and
broken-up home. But I still advise
youngsters who are contemplating
rmatrimony to take postgraduate
course by giving the home life of
