DANGER ATTENDS UPLIFT PROGRAM

There has been considerable discussion a.
bout the proposal of President Truman that
the United States give financial assistance to
a global program to develop the backward
peoples of the earth.
Recently, DR.. Walter Laves, Deputy -Direc-
tor-General of the United Nations Education
al, Scientific and Cultural Organization, warn
ed Of the danger of trying to impose an entire
1y .new economic structure a nation and
people unprepared for such major upheav-
al. Under such conditions, he says tensions in
crease, conflicts occur and individuals rise
quickly to positions of power. The effects, he
insists, can imperil peace.
The United Nations official does not pro-
pose that the plan to remake the economy of
undeveloped areas be Abandoned However,
he suggests an extension of the work so as to
provide fundamental education to carefully
prepare the population for the necessary
changes. Gradually, the experts are becoming
convinced that there is no simple way to raise
the standard of living of any people unless
they are prepared to accomplish the major
part of the job themselves.

SAYS 1850 WILL BE "GOOD" YEAR

AS 1949 comes to close, it is refreshing tc
hear the prediction that 1850 will be rela-
lively good business year.
The statement comes from DR.. Emerson P
Schmidt economic research director of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States
who expresses the view that the Federal budg-
ct deficit may not be as inflationary, in the
short rum some have assumed. ....
The economist seems to believe that private
savings may not be absorbed by investment
in production and other facilities and that the
governmental deficit may be financed, to a
greater degree, out of savings rather than the
creation of new money He finds most market
indicators pointing upward, with installment
credit three times that of 1929 and bank loans
beginning to expand again.
DR.. Schmidt offers little comfort to consun-
ers; He does not expect them to fare much bet
ter in 1850 because wage and pension agree
ments raised employers costs and government
supports will prevent farm prices from going
much lower. Nevertheless, he finds that per-
sonal income has been maintained with re-
markable stability, consumer prices have re-
manned fairly stable and the stock market has
Favorable outlook.

RIGHTS OF THE STATE

So long as the states keep clamoring for
their share of the Federal-aid loot, there will
be congressman who will vote to provide it.
That, at any rate, has been Americas expert
ence in recent years.
But what would happen if the states should
say to Washington:
You manage your business and we'll man
age ours?
You take care of the affairs which properly
concern all the people, and We'll conduct our
own schools, provide our charity and
medical care, solve our own housing problems,
and decide our local issues at the grass roots?
That plainly, is the question which intrig-
ues Jimmy Byrnes.
Now at the twilight of his career, he has lit
tie interest, we surmise, in managing the de-
tails of state government at Columbia. The job
would add little to the prestige gained in more
eminent positions.
But it would give him chance to resist and
to organize resistance to Big Governments S
encroachment on the liberties of the people
and thereby make final, massive contrbu-
tion to the country which has honored him so
highly. -..
Friends of freedom in many states will join
in the hope that he will make the fight-The

ROSES
BY Mrs. r. l. Corbett

Every year interest grows in Wis
iting rose gardens famed for their
beauty. Many of these are private
ly owned, but the municipal rose
garden is growing in popularity
When this project is properly un-
dertaken and everybody, adults
and children alike, are made to
feel a share in the care and re-
sponsibility, then this becomes a
real community plan
A public rose garden must be
thought of as a place that is open
to the public at all times, that is
having "free access" at all times
All of US know that some times
we do not crave visitors in our gar
dens, but the municipal garden
must have free access at all times
Perhaps it does us good, or at least
encourages us to see that other gar
dens are not perfect all the time.
The first public rose garden was
established in Hartford, Conn.,, in
1904 by the great gardener, Theo-
dore Wirth, who lives at present in
Minneapolis. This is called Eliza.
beth Park and has furnished in
spiration all over America for SIM
liar paintings. This Hartford Rose
Garden is visited extensively every
year, special buses are used for
transportation for hundreds of
miles around Hartford. Some kinds
of roses have been grown there
over a period of thirty years.
When properly cared for roses
live a long time.
Another famous garden is at
Hershey, Pennsylvania, under the
supervision of H. l.. Erdman, who

HAPPIER ON THE FARM

You never hear much about juvenile delin-
quency on the farm. That is not to say that
rural children perfect, but it does seem a
natural result of the fact that youngsters in
most farm families have host of useful, in
teresting, constructive things to do, which
helps to keep them out of mischief.
G. L. Noble, an official of the National All
Clubs, believes cities would have fewer prob
lens with youthful behavior if they sponsored
programs comparable to those of the young
agriculturists' clubs.
Apart from supervised recreation and leis-
ure-time activities, city youngsters need some
thing to do with their hands that has as much
visible relation. to living as has the country
child's chores or the All club pig he is raising
for market This calls for little inventiveness.

so I know what grace is.
have listened to bird caroling,
so 1 know what music is.
have seen a morning without clouds, after
showers, so I know what beauty is.
have read book beside wood fire, so l
know what contentment is
I have seen the miracle of the sunset, sol
know what grandeur is.
And because have perceived all these things
I know what wealth is.

Our man was around there Tor
dinner again the other night.
His first try at ordering from. the
menu was unsuccessful. All gone,
the waitress said. His second try
drew the same answer. DiScour-
aged. he told the girl to tell those
people in the kitchen to send him
whatever they thought he'd like.
That approach got him the most
satisfying dinner he's had in
years. he says.
Done with that, he paid his
check, left what he thought was
a dollar bill on the table and de-
parted. The waitress caught him
before he made the door. Even
q well-fed man, she said, shouldn't
be tossing $40 tips around.
Hadn't he better take back that
l0-spot? He did and walked
away, wrapped in cloud OF
good will.

rare, you go around trying it.
