CHRISTIAN OR CULTURED
 UNTIL THE DAWN AND
 SUNDOWN OF LIFE ARE
 REGARDED WITH
 REVERENCE
 Everett, Mass.
 March 29, l946 Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Americas highest culture can only be reached when care of the dawn ana sua.)Wn of life are re- garded with reverence. No state can be considered either Christian or cultured that fails to properly care for its aged. Our aged fellow citi- zens are woefully neglected. Many of our fellow citizens approach old age with slender means or none at all. Hence the obligation of Dem- ocracy to provide for the vast army of those whose life has been spent in some form of activity without which there could be no culture, no American Democracy.
 Next to the guardianship of little children, let us put the guardian ship of the aged, of those who have reached 60 years of age. Under modern conditions man of 60 years is considered old. He is cast out by industry and gray hairs are a handicap not readily overcome. Today employers want young men because their response to stimulus is younger and more flexible. And one must not imagine that the aged are insensitive to the aobreviation in manner, voice and consideration so often exhibited toward them, and of which they are the helpless vic- timS. Many men who have reached 60 years must often dream of better days and better treatment they have known, and one suspects they may endure the burdens of silent suffering through hurt feelings in addition to those incident to their weight of years. Is it any wonder that we meet with some old people who feel that their survival is un- fortunate; that their frail persist ence has gone too far and that they stay too long.
 Old age, whenever 1t comes is the second childhood of dependency. It is then that the individual, unable to carry further the burden of main taining himself, must look to others for care and SlIpnort. Among prinl- tive peoples cases have been known where the aged who were no longer able to hold their places as active or productive members of the tribe were put to death. We have gone far from that condition in this modern time and civilization, but anyoody who studies the proceed ings of State and National lawmak- CTS and their opposition to adequate

 Roosevelt agreed and added;

 "The Sears Roebuck catalogue"
 Most important point now being watched by, diplomats Is whether Jimmy Byrnes, who has done a good job regarding Russia will now take advan. tage of Stalin's latest opening. Stalms statement reaffirming his faith in the United Nations and the friendship of peoples is considered the best break U S-Us.SR relations have had in months If Secretary Byrnes vigorously follows It up

 Diplomatic reports from Moscow indicate that the iron curtain around Russia is motivated by one compelling fact: Soviet leaders do not want the Rus sian people to realize that the capitalist world may be equal or better than Communism. For several years the Russian people have been sold the idea that their system is far superior to anything else that capitalist nations are enslaved
 That is why fraternization between Russian and American troops were discouraged That is why Rus sians so avidly buy up wrist watches and other baubleS on the Berlin black market. That is also why Soviet officials stationed abroad, such as Igor Gouzenka in Canada, sometimes become enanored of western civilization and desert the Soviet cause
 However, regardless of economic or political theories permanent peace can rest only on the inti- mate understanding and friendship Of peoples, It cannot rest on the whm of governments. That is why no matter how much the Government Of Eng land might change, there never could be war bee

A GIFT OF VALUE
(Boston Post)

(Boston Post)
 Boston churchgoerS have made real contribution in the past month by turning in to the dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul funds sufficient to buy 24 heifers to help feed the needy in Europe. These heifers are part of long range food program and will be used for milk and for breeding purposes to build up the livestock of the stricken countries. This seems to be a gift that will increase in value as the years go by. Those who have made it possible are to be com mended for their willingness to help others who are in need.
