Soviets the Real Imperialists


To the Editor Of The Star:
The other day on the streetcar, sitting be-
hind two young men, evidently students,
could not help overhearing their conversation.
One apparently was trying to persuade the
other that everything in this country was all
wrong and everything In Russia was all right,
and he was dropping such Juicy morsels as
exploited workers" and "imperialistic capital
ism" Such catch phrases must mean some
thing to somebody, but they certainly leave
me cold.
If these youngsters would get down to funda-
mentals, they would realize that capitalist is
merely one who believes in private ownership
Of property. The Communist believes in state
ownership Of everything, except perhaps the
clothes on his back.
BY owning q six-roon ow-house, am just
Is much q capitalist as the bloated bond-holder
who has II bedrooms and sends the butler into
the basement every morning for . bucketful
of money. The best answer to the Commies
arguments Is to compare conditions In the
u S. g. R. with those in the United States As
to being imperialists, when did Russia ever
turn loose of any territory such as We did with
Cuba and the Philippines7 On the contrary,
the Soviets swallowed Latvia, Lithuania, Es-
thonia and a large part of Poland, and even
now are In the process of taking over Germany,
Austria, the Balkan states, etc. And they call
us imperialists! O. f. G.

Colored Americans Claims
To the Editor Of The STAR
On September IL The Star approached the
threshold Of what may be . probable era Of
mutual respect and understanding. This mo-
mentous event was occasioned by the picture
Of an American of color ON the front page.
Perhaps we also may expect the day when
news reporting, especially crime news, viii not
be identified with race. It is patent that some
readers are inclined to judge . whole people
by the acts of individuals. Americans Of color
have equal claims with all other groups upon
the regard Of editors. It Is my hope that the
day is not too far distant when all men will
be measured by the yardstick of ability and
that the free development Of ability will not
be INSTRUCTED. DAVID.
A Woman Roomer's Complaints
To the Editor of The Star:
For years have wanted to take q crack at
those landladies who prefer men.
There are fortunately, some homes that pre-
fer women, or whose owners do not care
whether their roomers are men or women.
have some very nice memories Of these places.
But there are far too many women on the
jealous side. They simply cannot stand the
thought Of another woman in the house. They
work their fingers to the bone for man roomer
In some little 2x4 ballroom, but viii not want
to do . thing for . woman. even the things
she is paying for.
Women like nice rooms, consequently they
usually take the larger front rooms costing
more. Men, unless they are high-salaried ON
cials, will take the smallest and cheapest rooms
In the house and live in the bathroom 1t
never occurs to the landlady that q woman is
paying from SO to $40 more q month than a
man Is, 50 she permits him to consider the
bath his private property. I have had men
spend an hour and half there. but If want
to wash q handkerchief they will complain.

Uncle Sam Not Dying


Consider the one hundred and sixty -first
birthday anniversary Of the United States
Constitution as the birthday of that venerable
figure known as Uncle Sam"
For nearly 20 years, he has been supposed
by many to be on his death bed That he
has been i'll cannot be denied Quack doctors
have forced him to swallow their nostrums.
Alien blood has been injected into his veins.
Foreign alarms have disturbed his needed rest.
Strong poultices have been applied to his back
His diet has been restricted: his outlook on
life has been tortured by strangely colored
lens which distort his vision. His ears are
tormented by raucous voices proclaiming new
nost1ums. The din hourly grows more uo-
lent. 80
However, his convalescence is watched by an
ever-growing army of young men and young
women, who have both hope and faith in
themselves and who are determined to nurse
the old gentleman back to health and vigor.
That he will recover is certain. He has
strong constitution.

Specialization Common
In Nursing Profession
CONTINUED from first pager

Mrs. Alice L. Stevenson, direc-
tor of nursing, Milford Memorial
Hospital, Milford, says, nursing is
not only an education to earn a
living; but also to train a girl to
live a happy unselfish life. She says
no finer tribute can be paid to
nurses than was recently given by
a Nurses Alumnae Association to
the memory of beloved superin-
tendent of nurses.
Quote: Her unselfish devotion
for the good of others has kindled
in the hearts of those who knew
her; the glowing embers of love
and devotion. May we keep bright
in our lives their glow and give to
others as she gave to us; the light
which will always enable us to
follow those high ideals which her
life exemplified. The influence of
her rare personality will go on
and on ever placing for us the
stepping stones to all that is mob
lest and best in the art of nursing. "

Keep things like chicken, fish, and

Also products that were frozen

the food.
The present high cost of foods
has served to make people very
concious of the need for saving ev-
cry bit of food possible. Home
makers, now more than ever, are
keeping leftOvers to use again,
and the State Board of Health
urges housewives to remember to
put these leftover foods in the
ice box as soon as possible after
each meal is finished.
Food infection may develop
quickly in such foods as chickens,
ham, lunch meats, fish, crabs, cot
tage cheese, cakes, and in cream
filings for pies, cream pdffs,
eclairs and other baked goods. Pro-
tein foods, such as meats, fowls
and eggs that have to be handled
after cooking when they are pre-
pared for salads or sandwiches
are especially dangerous, as is the
mayonnaise in which they are mix
ed. Well-coOked foods are not i'm
mune from infection either, and re-
cooking will not destroy poisonous
organisms if they have developed.

people that it is important to keeI
foods as cool as possible if they

is applied by hand or ground
equipment, 35-35 ID per acre should
be used. When distributed by
plane it is advisable to use from
5000 10.
An attempt should be made to
confine these worms to the infest-
ed field by plOwing a deep furrow
with the straight edge of the fur
row against the direction in which
the worms are travelling. Post
holes from 1915 inches deep
should be dug in this furrow every
40 or so feet.
All farmers who have wheat or
barley are Jrged to inspect these
fields at once because usually the
army worm appears very rapidly
and the damage is done before the
farmer realizes that the worms are
present.
This warm has a dark green
back with a lighter stripe down it's
side and light colored underparts.
1t may vary from 1a to q inches
in length up to inches or more.
If the worms are present in suf-
ficient quantities they will eat ev-
erything before them, usually,
however, in wheat they will strip
the blades from the stalk and eat
the boards off the head. In barley
they will not only strip the blades
but they cut the heads off the stalk
thereby running the barley.
In corn fields they will eat the
heart out of the young corn stalk
and also otherwise damage it.
County Agent w. E. Tarbell sug-
gests that any farmer who is not
sure of the type of worm that is
present in these crops mentioned
above, give him a call and he will
be glad to help in the identified
tiOn of the worm.

So join our song; it's a happy So

And we have no limit tonight.
We could blame it on the educated

YORK GYM ACTION
is FRIENDLY SUIT

To correct a understanding
in the community, the Journal
has been asked to publish the
following statement concerning
the action of Herbert Dill, tax
payer of York Township, against
the York Local Board of Educa-
ton to stop contEuction of the
proposed York High gymnasium
and keep bonds for the purpose
of financing said construction
from being issued.
Mr.. Dill was requested to file
the suit as a friendly action, in
order to clear up certain contro-
verSial points over the issuance of
the bonds.
Before the bonds can be issued
it is necessary to have a ruling by
the Court on the validity of
every step in connection with the
special election at which the gym
nasium bond issue was approved
by the voters. To get such a rul-
ing from the Court, it was neces-
sary for some taxpayer in York
to file formal action against the
Board Of Education.
