Sees Everybody Soon Enjoying
Privileges Now Limited to COnvicts

TO the Editor of The Star:
How would you like to have free room
and board for the rest Of your life, have
your clothes given to you, be assured OF
hospital care, taught q trade and then guar
anteed steady job? Sounds good, does 1t
not? The theme Of this letter, however, is
to protest against the discrimination shown
to the majority Of our people. Yes. COM
rade. you and are being direly prosecuted
in regard to these privileges I demand
justice.
Hitherto the majority Of law-abiding
citizens have had to shift for themselves
while convicts, who are men who have COM
mitted various crimes in the eyes Of the
law, such as murder, robbery and bigamy,
have been outrageously given the wonderful
things enumerated above. assume that
these things are very valuable to the con-
victs and are jealousy guarded. seeing as
there are high walls around their prisons
obviously intended to prevent us from shar-
ing their benefits. Furthermore, while we
ordinary citizens are left to founder as we
will, these convicts are given a great deal
of guidance and supervision in the things
they do. Just think OF what we are missing.
Oh. the injustice Of 1t all!
But take heart, comrade, the tide begins
to turn in our favor. Great statesmen in
our Nations Capital are seeking to remedy
the situation. They are being reinforced in
these efforts by people who have dedicated
their lives to our cause and who are known
as welfare workers. Just consider how close
we are to having: socialized medicine, it
won't cost us anything either: government
housing, so we all may live in homes that
are exactly alike; old age pensions. these
should include prepaid vacations to Palm
Beach; and Federal aid to education, so
that we may ali think alike, no doubt. Best
Of all though is that along with all these
things will come enlightened guidance and
supervision from our great statesmen,
although we do not now enjoy such regu-
lation. When these statesmen get through,
we all will have the benefits presently
experienced only by convicts.
In view Of our goal, comrades, was
shocked to hear former Secretary Of State
Byrnes statements sanctioning the freedom
Of the individual. was, however. extremely
glad to hear Senator Humphrey Of Mime
sofa say that he and his colleagues will re-
double their efforts to put through the above
program. Also the remarks of Senator Pep
per. Democrat. Of Florida, that he was not
surprised at Mr.. Byrnes stand. shows Mr..
Pepper has brilliant and penetrating mind.

These items were to be had at

thing besides the guests appe-

Some Children
React Oddly To
Certain Disease

LOS ANGELES. -(R)-Do you
sometimes wonder why your
child gives you such a hard time?
Take it easy-it may not be his
fault at all.
DR.. Nicholas Dercel says that
his work at Los Angeles Hos
pital has revealed that children
sometimes react quite strangely

measles and whooping cough.
He explains that-the brain may
suffer from temporary inflam-
nation. When this occurs, a
child may fly off the handle
easily or cry over nothing. But
don't worry too much about it,
Its something that will disappear
when the youngster is really well
again.

in Maryland will have to do with
their old license plates next year.
The steel strike is responsible
According to the Motor Vehicles

all.

THE PASSION FLOWER

THE PASSION FLOWER
The Passion flower blooms pro-
fusely in Spain, and the Lenten
Tree IS native to India They are
symbolic and profoundly inspiring.
Down thru the ages, Purple has
been the color significant Of
Royalty; and Biblical numbers
are three and five. The Passion
flower grows in layers OF five
one atop the other, and is SYM
bolic of the Crucifixion OF Christ,
The highest point of this mysti-
cal bloom has three petals; dis
tinctly shaped like nails, with
heads, the three sharp points
joining to form a cross. These
represent the three wounds; one
driven into each hand, and one
driven into His crossed feet.
Under this formation are five
tiny petals, the tops of which are
green, and the underpart beau
tifully tinted golden yellow,
These are significant Of the five
wounds, two in His hands; two
in His feet. and one in His heart
Under these five petals is a
tiny bulb-like shape which event
ually forms into a fruit many
say IS tasty and edible. Under
this bulb are two distinct rows Of
delicately tinted orchid spears
which blend into a deep purple
Each row contains over fifty such
tapering spears sharp as a pir
point. Eloquently these two rows
represent the Crown of Thorns
so realistic are they. Under this
miracle are ten beautifully shap-
ed leaves alternating, five finely
tinted orchid leaves, and five
white ones.

Bluffton College Cagers Win
Thriller From Northern, 4O-39

Coping their second victory in a
row, Bluffton college cagers downed
Ohio Northern by score of 40 to
80 Tuesday night on the Beaver
court.
Buttons victory was gained in
the most stirring finish seen here
this season, for the Zimmerman
coached outfit came from behind in
the last five seconds of play to cop
the decision.
With Northern leading by one
point, Martin Stahl, sharpshooting
Beaver forward put the game on ice
for the Bluffton crew with pair
of successful free throws in the
last two seconds of the game. The
game ended while Northern was at
tempting to put the ball in play.
All told, the score changed hands
four times in the last 65 seconds
of play and was tied or changed
hands eight times in the last three
minutes.
Bluffton had led at the close of
the first three quarters and until

for distribution through every post
office, veterans service organiza-
ton, and VA office in the county
within the next few months.
The form is a three-fold card
upon which the veteran will write
his full name, service number, in
Surance policy numbers and ad-
dress. He will retain one third of
the card which contains the in
structions, and mail the other two
parts to the VA, where the ap-
plicant part of the card will be
separated and the return acknow-
Judgement portion mailed back to
the veteran to inform him that VA
has received the application.
VA announced that while the cut
off date for payment of the divi-
dend is the anniversary date of
the policy during 1948, additional
dividends will compensate veterans
whose policy anniversary dates are
early in the year.. Future dividend
distribution also will sid r
policies issued after January l.,
1948. These policies will not par
ticipate in the present dividend.
Nearly 100000 policies were
issued to more than 16,500,000
members of the armed forces, some
veterans have two or more policies.
More than 7,215,000 policies are
now in force.
