Juvenile Rock Throwers

Summer be the acceptable time for juveniles the loose. Then when weather is fine and time their hands they up to mischief In most it Is than mischief. This week the first headline that caught eye to the effect that five boys in Hartford admitted throwing stones at trains leaving the city, causing injury to several.
 Mischievous acts closely associated with malicious and potential crimes that is hard to classify them The youngsters in Hartford to 13 out for bit of fun throwing rocks Ito the passengers duck This is just example of similar juvenile crimes that mitted daily.
 Not so long blamed the state of affairs the fact that many mothers doing work in the fac tories The is and great percentage of the mothers at home but juvenile "pranks' continue The rock and the stone to have great appeal to juveniles Boys have good am and they like to scale stones through windows at barn doors, They like to pitch baseball, which is just fine.
 It too bad they have not been given to understand in the home that throwing basebas in the right direction IS good but rocks in the wrong direction is bad Their chaant and frank admission of their feas with rocks testimony that the difference between the two acts has been very clearly explained to them.

The tides still keep up their old custom of ebbng and flowing twice every "A hours This is matter that con- cerns the and the But that hasn't anything to do with the legislation by which the Congress renounced all Federal claims to tdeand os Just why Congress should pass laws that would give States clear titles to certain oil rich andschiefy these between the threeile limit and the owde mark along the nations coast to be of those decisions that is "as clear mud

In order to Keep you happy Il tell here all can tell about the use of amphetamine to facilitate reduc- ton.
 When used to control appetite the drug is safe only under the obser- vation of your physician.
 Amphetamine (benzedrine) stimu- lates the brain, gives good results in narcolepsy Uncomfortable desire to sleep occurring at intervals with out apparent reason), the type of shaking palsy or Parkinsonism that develops after encephalitis C'sleep- ing Sickness"). in some states of mental depression and in some cases of dementia precox. The drug ag- gravates the condition of one who is already anxious, unrelaXed of very nervous" or restless.
 In experiments on animals and human volunteers it has been ob served that the drug actually di- minishes appetite. Perhaps it would be neared the truth to say that it restraints overeating. In normal young men (not overweight in an eight weeks course of treatment, amphetamine three times a day during part of the experiment. there was little or no weight loss although a marked reduction in food intake-no restrictions on diet.
 So we may conclude that the drug decreases excessive appetite by acting on the brain, and facilitates reduction of overweight by thus cor recting the bad habit of eating too much and probably also bymaking the overnourished individual more active, making him or her feel more like doing things, going places, workin or playing, getting exercise, keeping metalbolism active.
 That's all. I'm sorry it is not a drug which will work miracle while you just sit.

by DreN, Pearson

during the late war Evatt like Jimmie Byrnes, got tired of the rarefed atmosphere of the Supreme Court and resigned to Labor member of the Australian Parliament. He has held two Cabinet jobs since-Attorney General and Minister of External Affairs.
 Actually the latter job didn't amount to hill of beans before Evat took it over Ausraas external affairs handled by London. Today, however, Evat has made Australias external affairs not only very much her own but has elevated them to place where they help lead the world That, of course, is why mossback Tories, in both Australia and England, are bitter against the tough-talking lawyer from New South Wales.
 At Paris, Evatt has become the real leader of the anti Soviet bloc. Molotov hates him, and makes effort conceal his scoWls whenever Evatt speaks. If Jimmie Byrnes and Doc Evatt played closer ball together, their teamwork would be hard to beat. But they don't always cooperate. One case where they did when Poland proposed that it sit on the com- mission to write the Hungarian peace treaty. Bel gium's sleepy chairman, Paul-Henri Spaak, about to O. K. the proposal when Evatt jumped up.
 Now, just mnute!" he said. "We voted yes- terday that nations not at war with enemy countries should not sit commissions to write the peace with those countries And yesterday Poland voted that such countries could not sit But today Poland wants to make exception of itself and sit on the Hun garian commission, even though she was not at war with Hungary. If we make exception in Poland's case, don't know where going to stop"
 Molotov rose to champion Poland and while he Byrnes, Why don't you say something about ths?" Byrnes took the hint and opposed Polands sitting the Hungarian commission As result, Poland with drew her request.
 The Australian is the only delegate who has sstently and sometimes disagreeably reminded the Big Four that this Peace Conference not called merely to serve rubber stamp for their efforts. At the second plenary session, Evatt, painstakng lawyer, dug up many embarrassing quotes from earlier statements by the Big Fours representatives
 "The conference is convoked in order to make improvements changes in the drafts Evatt quoted Mootov saying in London, otherwise, confer ences not necessary
 Again, Evatt quoted Byrnes saying, The Council (Bg Four) not to make the peace settle ments but to do the necessary preparatory work the peace settlement"
 Thus does the indefatigane Foreign Minister of Australia battle for the nations which have the to lose when comes, the most to win by perma- rent peace. He firmly believes that, if the views of the smaller nations prevail at Paris mankind may have real chance of bringing order out of this disordered world.
 We cannot" says Evatt accept the cynical view that history must of necessity repeat itself for one refuse to believe that wars are necessary"

Reconsideration on Palestine

Sensbly, if beatedly, President Truman has ordered back from London the special ambassador assistants who signed the AngloAmercan report Palestine which recommended partition and made the admission of Jewish refugees from Europe contingent upon it's acceptance So It IS not surprising that Britain is reported abandoning the plan and preparing to drop the Palestine hot potato in the lap of LIN.
 The President reportedy did favor this ultimatum gracious effort of Brtain Acting Prime Minister Herbert Morrison to put the entire responsibility for the plans ceptance or rejection on this countrys doorstep
 Fortunately, it late to reconsider proposed solution to Paesne troubles which appears to be both fair and unworkable

A Thought for Today
Driving Hazards

Hartford seems to be getting into traffic difficulties Judging by newspaper editorials Recently the city was ln- censed because the slowness in arrival of the City am buance at the scene accident Now fast driving III central sections is a major complaint.
 An editorial in the Hartford Times states that Main Street is becoming racetrack and depored the fast drv ing of private and commercial vehicles certain central tions. Naturally this is great menace This gradual speeding up has become apparent in many communities Many more in the running again, and always there is proportion of good and bad drivers.
 Another nuisance is the horn blower the man who toots loudly when there need Traffic fatalities are certain from if offenders not dealt with summary, and continued vigilance is not observed.
 In Waterbury feel that there is efficient system of traffic regulation City and hospital ambulance services are prompt But have share of careless drivers again the oose and those greatest of motor pests the horn blowers
