A new program for education
to meet the challenge of totali-
tarianiSrl, called ZEAL FOR AM
ERICAN DEMOCRACY, has been
inaugurated by the United States
Office Of Education under the
leadership of Commissioner John
w. Studebaker.
First and foremost in the pro-
gram is the conviction that "edu-
cation can help to strengthen
democracy at home.9 Attention
must be concentrated on keep
ing democracy vibrant and alive
to expanding social and economic
needs" The general level of edu-
cation throughout the country
must be high and all who can
qualify for it by their own merit
must have the opportunity to do
so. Physical and mental health
must be improved.
knowing that Fascisn, seeks to
undermine confidence in Ameri-
can principles and institutions.
DR.. studebaker told the National
Council fer Social Studies:
do give young people a clear
understanding Of tae essential
clements of the American demo-
cratic way of life.
s'"Do contrast very concretely
the philosophy and practices Of
democracy with those Of die
tatorship.
DO give them d vision Of the
possibilities Of a future world Of
freedom. justice, peace, and
plenty.
do give tsem an understand
ing and appreciation Of the
ethical and spiritual values, as
well as the material benefits. Of
the American Way Of Life.
do inspire them with the re-
solve and with the zeal to do
their full part in helping to i'm
prove the working Of democracy.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-06-19

ITO suggest that the working
of American democracy can be
improved is not a confession of
failure; nor is it to helittle our
accomplishments, as some people
would enormously suppose. Our
American democratic ideals of
government and society have
produced the highest material
standards Of living for our people
OF any ever recorded on the face
of the earth. Of our other ac-
complishments, in cultural as
well as material affairs, we can
rightfully be proud. We need
make no apologies for the Am
erican way of life, for the ideals
toward which we strive. While
less than perfect, while in need
Of many Improvements, our way
of life has within itself the means
for its peaceful and lawful full
fillment. No system involving
fallible human beings viii ever
attain perfection. But measured
against any rival system of So
ciety, American democracy is so
far superior as to warrant cur
stauncheSt support against all
and traducers, either
foreign or domestic.
"This must be and is educa-
TONS answer to the challenge
Of any form Of totalitarianisn."

ton to cooperate with the U. S.

Hogs Adopt New Look;
they're Thinner and Longer

LANSING, MICH.-It shouldn't
happen to hog.
But the fashionable, modern
model hog is coming out with an
entirely new look"
Failing in line with ordinary hui
man beings, this years crop Of
hogs will be longer and thinner
than the war models.
Naturally the hogs have nothing
to do with it.
According to w. N. McMillen,
swine specialist at Michigan State
college, hogs which the meat pack
ers and pork producers want vary
with the public demand and the
need for lard.
During the war there was a
tendency to produce short thick
hogs to meet the public demand
and the demands from government
for lard.
Swine authorities now claim the
trend is swinging to longer hog
with less fat, which makes for
more plates of bacon, loins. chops
and hams.
stylish stout hogs won't stand
a chance of coping blue ribbon
at the county fairs, McMillen said.
"Hogs with the classiest chassis
will have the appearance of we'll
fed Greyhound" he added.

says the fish and wildlife service.
Cooked fish is okay.
The same advice goes for your
cat, your canary, even your pet
fishes. It also might apply to the
feeding of human beings wherever
dried fish is consumed.
Recent Investigations have proved
beyond doubt, the agency says, that
several varieties of raw fish contain
thiaminase, an engine which de-
stroys thiamin, otherwise known as
vitamin B-1. A deficiency Of B-1

Poultry Will Require
Water for Winter
Steady Flow Obtained
With Pressure System

Farmers have tried various ways
of preventing water from freezing
in their poultry houses in cold
weather. Some simply drain the
poultry line and 60 back to carry
ing water during the winter. Others,
who dislike carrying water even
more in the winter than they do in
the summer, appear to have devised
satisfactory ways of keeping their
pressure water systems working no
matter what the thermometer reads.
The result of one farmers idea
is shown in the accompanying illus
tration. 1t presents one of 16 water

Pie plates, suspended a few inches
