was a man in Jerusalem, whose
name was Simeon; and the same
man was just and devout, waiting
for the consolation of Israel: and
the Holy Ghost was upon him. And
it was revealed unto him by the
Holy Ghost, that he should not see
death, before he had seen the
Lords Christ. And he came by the
Spirit into the temple: and when
the parents brought in the child
Jesus, to do for him after the Gus
tom of the law, Then took he him
I'D in his arms, and blessed God,
and said, Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant depart in peace, ac-
cording to thy word: For mine
eyes have seen thy salvation
Which thou hast prepared before
the face of all people; A light to
tighten the Gentiles, and the glory
of thy people Israel. A correlative
passage from the Textbook
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is (pp. 1872. 47S). Jesus was
the son of q virgin. He was ap-
pointed to speak Gods word and
to appear to mortals in much a
form of humanity as they could
understand as well as perceive.
Mary's conception Of him was
spiritual, for only purity could re-
fleet Truth and Love, which were
plainly incarnate in the good and
pure Christ Jesus. He expressed
the highest type of divinity, which
fieshly form could express in that
age. Into the real and ideal man
the f1eshly element cannot enter
Thus it is that Christ illustrates
the coincidence, or spiritual agree
ment, between God and man in His
image. =. Jesus is the human
man, and Christ is the divine idea
hence the duality of Jesus the
Christ.

Food for Thought

When the annual candy consump-
tion in the United States reaches
1873 pounds per person it's high
time we find out how you are us
ing your share. This figure is As
pounds higher than the pre-war
level.
We all recognize the purity of
the ingredients and the sanitary
conditions under which most oe it
is made. Then most of us will
lend enthusiastic support to any
discussion of the delicious taste of
chocolate, nuts, caramel and maple
creams. Each of these makes its
nutritional contribution in calories
or a few vitamins when nuts are
used. So a piece of candy is a
wholesome product. But 1873
pounds represents great many
pieces.
Eating candy after meal and
when there is an opportunity to
clean the teeth has the hearty ap-
proval of the nutrition people.
iCrhis assumes you will not call
these people one-half hour later
and ask for a reducing diet.) But
eating candy before the food re-
quirements are met and having the
safety value of the candy destroy
the appetite for other foods may
have serious results.
There is evidence that eating
carbohydrates in excessive amounts
and depriving ones self of the pro-
tective foods results in dental
carries.
The candy bar or bars for lunch
which take the place Of required
foods may result in deficiencies that
prevent person from enjoying the
full vitality which food can pro-
vide.
Will you give a little thought to
yourself and to your child as he
spends money for school lunch and
resolve that, if you do eat your
1873 pounds of candy per year it is
not being eaten at the expense OF
the protective foods?

Why Roads Are Crowded

1t is good to know that somebody Is
studying the traffic problem on national
scale with view to finding ways and
means of coping with it. The Brooklngs
Institution has Just completed such study
and made public some interesting findings
in addition to the fact that there are
just too many automobiles on the roads
these days.
Oversimplified, the traffic problem, as
the institutions staff expert, Wltred owen
sees it, results from tagging highway con-
struction in the face of stepped-up auto
mobile production in recent years. Today,
he points out, an all-time record of forty
million motor vehcles-20 per cent more
than the prewar peak-are competing LOT
highway space Most of today's roads
were designed to carry traffic loads far
below those imposed by the postwar rush
of passenger cars, trucks and buses Fur
thermore, bottlenecks have been created
by wartime and postwar shifts of popula-
ton. In many cases the expected decline
in traffic in the bottleneck areas has failed
to materialize. Material shortages have
aggravated the situation.
The high cost of road construction and
repair has handicapped the States and
cities in their efforts to keep abreast OF
traffic demands. For example, Mr.. Owen
points out, modern highways often cost
as much as million dollars mile, with
urban expressways running into hgureS
several times that amount. More than
half of road funds now goes for patching
oI dc no m
left goes for. repaving these inadequate
old highways. Very little, proportionately,
Is available for new construction. Thus,
the prospect for new roads Is not very
bright, generally speaking.
But the Brookings expert believes that
considerable traffic relief could be afforded
within existing limited budgets, If there
were better highway administration and
more effective traffic engineering tech
niques" And he believes that the average
car owner must reconcile himself TO bot
tlenecks unless he is willing to pay more
for good roads than he now Is paying. He
found that the highway transportation
dollar"-the fee which the motorist must
pay to enjoy motoring does not allot SUI
ficient money to highways. Only per
cent of the dollar goes for road construc-
ton, the remainder covering purchase
price of the car and costs of operating it..
He recommends a better balance" be-
tween the highway and car items-which
is the economists way of saying that II
motorists want greatly improved roads,
they will have to pay for them through
increased gasoline and other taxes.

'Operotion Bootstrop

1uis Munoz Marin, first popularity elected
Governor of the Territory OF Puerto Hico'
strikingly exemplifles that organic syn
thesis of Spanish and North American loeas
and cultures which has grown up during
the half-century of the islands politico-
economic connection with the united
States. Long a resident OF this country
he understands us as we'll as ne ooes niS
own people This is obvious from the TENOR
of an address he gave in New York CITY
last Thursday before luncheon audience
of top executives of investment and oanK-
ing institutions. That talk concluoeo
three-weeks' visit to various parts OF the
country, during which he conferred with
leading figures in the Administration, IN
Congress. and in the field of finance and
business.
The Governors objective has been to
familiarize all these circles with his am
bilious program for the development OF
balanced economy for Puerto Rico which
would ease the pressure of over-populatlon,
raise living standards, and encourage in
dustry through the exploitation OF the
islands natural resources. In selling this
idea to us. Governor Marin emphasizes first
of all the good start the Puerto Rlcans
themselves are making to bring TINS pro-
gram to pass-a condition he views as
sound argument for the investment of
private capital in the island which Is
needed to attain the desired goal.
The Governor cited facts and figures to
show the progress already made In in
dustrialization and the private financing
successfully accomplished, coincident with
a reduction in the net debt of the 1nsular
Government from $33 1000 900 in 1910 to
So, 900 in 1949. Stressing the changed
psychology of the Puerto Rican people and
their proven ability to help themselves he
stated that the previous pessimism OF
"Operation Lament" had been transformed
into a vigorous determination best char
acterized as Operation Bootstrap." To-
day, the people of Puerto Rico are resolved
"to help themselves to the best of theil
ability, to face their democratic reSponsi.
bilities, and to solve their own problems.
1t is this situation psychological as wei
as material, which led the Governor tx

oratory for President Truman's Point 4
program for the assistance of underde
veloped areas Specifically, he cited th'

Hisponic Foundation Birthday

Representatives of all the Latin American
countries participated in the recent eele-
bration of the tenth anniversary OF the
Hispanic Foundation in the Library OF
Congress, and the occasion merits COM
ment If only because of its significance in
the overall picture of Western Hemisphere
solidarity. But the delegates of Spain and
Portugal also were present at the reception
in the beautiful Hispanic room created by
Paul Cret. That circumstance, too. Is
important because 1t symbolizes the fact
that our half of the globe is not isolated
In history or culture from the older half.
What the assembled diplomats and scholars
really celebrated was the tremendous
movement which generally Is called the
expansion of Europe"-a vast folk develop
ment which began long before Columbus
and still continues.
However, 1t should be remembered that
America has given as well as taken from
the earlier inhabited portions OF the earth.
No one who has travelled abroad with open
eyes can fail to have noticed how greatly
the Iberian nations France, Italy, England
and the Lowlands have been enriched
from the treasury unlocked by the mysteri-
Gus, still imperfectly known Genoese
navigator of 1892. The languages and
letters of Europe have been immensely
vitalized by the migration of ideas, not
simply by that Of peoples. Every church,
school, photographic establishment OF the
Old World reflects the interchange.
But it remained for a single poet
philanthropist-A M. Huntington of
Bethel, Connecticut-to bring all this into
practical focus in Washington. He founded
the Hispanic Society Of America to carry
on the work which he personally had begun
in Spain in his youth. Then in 1927 he
gave the Library Of Congress a generous
contribution for current books relating to
Hispanic subjects. Other gifts from the
same purse have followed. The name OF
the actual donor OF the Hispanic room is
secret, but Mr.. Huntington provided the
endowment for its maintenance and for
an honorarium for a consultant in His
panic literature. He also has had much to
do with the publication Of the Handbook
of Latin American Studies, an annual now
in its twelfth year, and other useful
volumes.

Department Store Clerks
Praised and Their Views Explained

Praised and Their Views Explained
To the Editor of The Star:
No wonder C. S. hesitated to sign his
name to a recent letter (Star, July 25),
cr1ticizing department store clerks carrying
the statement: "A courteous clerk is as rare
as perfect day in June" The cEiticism
was implied in tone rather than through the
statement, for there are many perfect days
in June.
But then no day or anything else could be
perfect for one with the disposition evidenced
by the writer of that letter. for it was a
purely selfish TRADE. And this is not from
the clerks point of view, for I am not and
never have been clerk, but do shop both
for myself and my friends
Most store. clerks are courteous though
sometimes their patience is tried by fault
finding, selfish customers, and being human,
they occasionally become irritable. Many
times have written to store managers to
compliment clerks for acts of courtesy, sev-
considered necessary.
Several letters published recently in your
columns have suggested that stores close on
Mondays instead of Saturdays, to give Gov
ernment workers chance to shop on their
day off. While at first thought this might
seem a good idea, although in most cases
unnecessary since most Government workers
are employed in locations that enable them
to take advantage of late closing hours main
tanned by stores here in comparison with
those elsewhere, there are obvious objections.
First. food prices are in many instances
cheaper on week ends, and the Saturday off
gives the store worker the same chance that
others have to take advantage of lower
prices-being less we'll paid. they need these
savings.
Second, many store clerks are married to
Government workers; they may like to spend
week ends at the beaches or visiting out
of town. but if Offices are closed on Satur-
days and stores on Mondays, these couples
and their children-are deprived of week
end holidays together, of some relief from
the weeks routine.
Third, many of us prefer our night social
engagements on week ends. To stay up late
Friday night would be hard for the store
employe, with a hard day ahead. and after
that day there is little energy left for social
engagement on Saturday night. To stay up
late on Sunday night is hard on the office
worker who must get up early next morning.
So let's think of others as we'll as of ourselves.

The Buldina Mon

There are few things sadder or more
wistful in this life than the thoughts and
emotions of a man who looks in a mirror
and suddenly realizes that badness Is
descending on him. For the first time, with
shocked and mournful eyes, he sees himself
as others see him. He used to imagine that
he had high, distinguished brow, but now
he recognizes it for what it is-a mere
patch of ground surrendered to nudity by
an inexorably receding hairline. Like lush
grassland stricken by erosion, his once
luxuriant locks have been thinned away
by the passage of the years Soon, very
soon, all, all will be gone, and there Is
nothing he can do to prevent 1t. No mat
ter how wishful he may be, no matter how
vigorously he may massage his scalp in an
effort to reawaken It, he knows deep in
his heart that in due course the top of his
head will be as smooth and shiny as an
apple.
Such 4 man, when all this first dawns
upon him, Is not easily comforted. He is
in a mood to weep over the lost glory of
his youth, to think glumly about the onset
of middle age, to brood over the fact that
times wear and tear has taken visible toll
of him. After while, of course, he gets
accustomed to the whole thing. Resigned
to his fate, he begins asking why he should
have to pay as much for q haircut as a
fellow with a flowing name. Or If he Is
not particularly exercised over that injus-
tice, he may find a certain pleasure in
Scoffing at cures for badness, or he may
take keen interest in such statements as
the one just made by New York wig
maker. He will note, with not little in
ward excitement, the wigmaker's prediction
that In the next fifteen years everybody
with denuded pate will be wearing a
toupee, and he will give much thought to
the idea of having one made for himself.
But the chances are that our balding
friend will only think about 1t. He is not
likely to put on wig. He is too timid for
that. He feels that he would be fooling
nobody If he went around in make believe
hair. He is afraid that maybe people would
detect him in his little masquerade, and
snicker at him. After all, he Is the same
fellow who refrains from doing a lot OF
things he would like to do-such as carry
ing a cane or growing beard-solely be-
cause Of his fear of public opinion. His
name is legion. A little sadly but bravely,
he will wear his badness in the open, like
badge. No covering up for him. As he
sees It, this Is fate; there Is nothing else
for him to do but sigh and bear it.

market. Outstanding are bond issues for
water and power development, together
with advances to the Government Develop
ment Bank for a variety of constructive
purposes.
1t will be interesting to see the reactions
OF American finance and industry to the
Governors presentation. There could have
been no better spokesman for that Puerto
Rican renaissance which Governor Marin
both leads and exemplifies.
