LEARNING TO LIVE WITT
YOURSELF
DR.. j. S. Bonnell

Every one born into the world VINO
lives to maturity is faced with
dual problem, that of learning to 1--we
with himself learning to 1--we
with other people. These two prob
lens are intimately related. The
first achievement must precede the
second. Until a man has learned to
live with himself, he cannot live sue
cessfully with others.
Life is not an easy matter Ior any
of us. 1t demands self-mastery. We
must bring under firm control our
own inner drives and desires and
passions. We must discipline our
emotions, establish constructive hab-
its of thought and of conduct, and
develop self-reliant ana weu-adJust-
ed personalities.
Now, the measure Of success that
we have in mastering ourselves will
determine, to a large degree, GU
aeility to live happily with others
The person who cannot ct along
with anybody is invariably at wan
with himself. His inpatlence, his
uncontrolled temper, his domineer-
ing ways, are all projections upor
other people Of his own inner con
flict.

DESTRUCTION:
Nothing to Chance

Destruction would be certain
there would be nothing left tc
chance IL military scientists per
feet their newest idea of a guided
missile. This would be no "ordi,
nary" guided missile.
That's no fantastic dream of the
men who plan the weapons of war.
A hint Of its imminence was con-
tanned in a GLOSSARY of guided
missile terms" made public by the
federal research and development
| board.
The glossary's reference to the
subject was terse, saying merely
this:
Guidance, homing, active-A
system of homing guidance where
in the source, for Illuminating the
target, and the receiver are carried
within the missile"
Here was the general idea:
A guided missile Git could be a
rocket or merely a pilotless plane)
is fitted with a television set and a
picture of the intended target-per-
haps an aerial photograph of a city.
The missile is launched in the gen.
eral direction of the target. When
1t arrives at a point when the
pattern of the picture matches what
its television 'eye" sees, the
missile "homes in on the target.
That's an over-Simplified de-
scription because thousands of COM
plex electronic actuating computing
devices must make instantaneous
and accurate reckonings; link the
"eye" and the brain of the
missile to its controls, and relay
back to the base from which the
missile was launched information
on where it is and what it sees"
Mans ingenuity in developing de-
structive devices apparently has
not yet reached its zenith. When it
does, those who fear mans ultimate
destruction by his own hand may
not be altogether given over to NOR
bid irnaginings.

RECORD BUDGET:
Asked of Congress

Asked of Congress
President Truman, presenting
proposal for the largest peacetime
budget in U. S. history to the con
gress, was greeted with the ex
pected reaction. Democrats ap'
plauded, Republicans instantly
demanded deep slasheS in recon-
mended outlay. 1t became evident
quickly that the fight on adoption
of the budget would be carried out
strictly along party lines.
THE PRESIDENT declared it
would take Al billion, 1853 million
dollars to run the government right
for the next year. And the punch
line was that half Of every Amer
lean tax dollar would be spent to
hold back the Communist tide in
the world.
On a party line basis, approval Of
the budget was assured, assuming,
of course, that the Democrats hold
fast. The President has comfor-
table majority in both houses and
there should be no difficulty in get
ting his proposal adopted.
But the Al billion-plus figure
wasn't all. Mr.. Truman served no.
tice he will ask more funds later
to supply arms to non-Communist
nations, a step which would push
the budget even higher.
THE ONLY possible bar to ap-
proval of the Truman budget was
public reaction to the plan to finance
with so cents Of every American
dollar anti-Red activities abroad.
Would the people go along with
American foreign policy and the
theories of polcy-makers that such
a step was the only answer to Com
munist menace? Apparently the
President is confident, because of
his victory at the polls, that the
people will support him in such
move and thus showed no hesitancy
in his budget proposals nor in
making his declaration that he
plans to call upon the American
people for even more money to
stem the Communist tide.
Already thoughts are turning to
the 1850 congressional elections and
congressman whose senses were not |
completely lulled by the 1948 Demo-
cratic sweep, may want to sound |
out public sentiment on the huge |
expenditure program. If that is the
case, public opinion may be the
final factor in its adoption.

Security and Peace

Goal of Auxiliary
This will be the goal toward

American Legion Auxiliary will

Mrs. Gwendolyn Nottingham
chairman of the National Securi-
ty committee of Laurel unit of
the Auxiliary, announced at a
meeting of the unit here yester-
day.
The first security measure for
which the Auxiliary will work is
Universal Military Training, Mrs.
Nottingham stated.
Although a peacetime selec-
tive service is now in effect" she
said, at is only a stop-gap meas
ure and no answer to the ma
tion's long range defensive
needs. Only the training of all
young men will give the United
States greater security from war
in the chaotic world of today and
the strength to be an effective
force for world peace. Universal
Military Training is the only
practical and democratic basis
for an adequate national defense
program"
Maintenance OF the strongest
air force in the world and the
of nationwide
civilian defense plan against air
attack are other important secur-
ity measures for which the Aux
iliary will work during the COM
ing year.

LONGER LIFE:
Science Has Key

| SCIENCE III US h6y
If parents would insure long lives
for their progeny, they must marry
young.
DIR. A. I. LANSING of the Wash
ington university school of medi-
cine, st. Louis, reported to the
Chronological society of New York
the discovery of mysterious
chemical, called x, which seems to
time how fast human being grows
old. "X' is something that parents
transmit to their offspring and it
is set like clock, either for long
or short life.
The age clock was found in
rotifiers, but a little human evil
dence was cited. Rotifiers are
microscopic water bugs, swimming
with long lashes that make them
look like whirling dervishes. The
setting of the X-clock in ro-
filters depend on how early they
mated.
1T APPEARS, DR.. Lansing stated,
that the amount of x stuff in a
fertilized egg sets the clock. When
there is little x, the rotifier lives
long. AS parents get older, the eggs
contain more x and life is shorter.
He also said that the mysterious
stuff also regulates growth-as the
volume of x increases, growth stops.
The human Evidence is indirect,
DR.. Lansing said. A study by DR..
Louis Dublin, showed a tendency
for children of young parents to
live longer than those born later.
And, it must be remembered,
humans come from eggs.

CHAIN STORES:
Food Dollar Chart

Despite the prevalence Of many
convictions to the contrary, con
sumers who lay a dollar down or
the counter of chain food store
gets food that costs the chain ar
average of 83 cents.
This leaves II cents to the chain
with which it must pay all its in
cidental expenses and 10 cents OF
this, or about three fifths, goes out
in wages to employees Of the chain.
IN PAYING II cents to the chain
the customer thus lays out that
amount for the chains combined
wholesale and retail services. After
the 10 cents goes to employees. the
remainder is allocated in this man.
ner: one and half cents for rent
and maintenance; two cents for
warehousing and carriage; a little
over one cent for shrinkage, spoil
age and theft, and one-half cent for
advertising. This leaves from one
to one and a half cents net profit
to the chain, less income taxes of
one-haf to one cent.
These figures were developed in
the latest in series of price studies
by the family economics bureau of
the Northwestern National Life In
surance company.
The survey disclosed that in
dividual markups vary widely, Of
course, within the store, being
much higher than the general II
per cent average on perishable
items like fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles, and much lower than everage
on very competitive staples like
sugar.
ACCORDING TO the study result,
the average food chain markup be-
fore the war was 224a cents-a third
greater than today. Today's far
greater dollar volume per store.
and therefore per employe, is main
ly responsible for the lower han
ding costs per dollar of sales.
Should either prices or total vol
ume shrink materially, however,
the cent or so profit margin per
dollar would vanish rather quickly
and red ink" would take its place.
Before the war, the farmer re-
ceived an average of 40 cents of the
consumers food dollar and 60 cents !
went for processing, canning, ship ,
ping, wholesaling and retaining. To
day the farmer gets SO cents per
dollar and AZ cents covers all the
various steps in processing and dis
tribution.

PALESTINE:
Toll And Trouble

T01L ana Trouble
The British lion was roaring at a
gnat.
In prepared statement, the Eng
ish government declared that Pal
estine developments are "gravely
threatening world peace"
Coupled with the dither was re-
port that Ernest Bevin, British
foreign secretary, had offered to
resign because of his Palestine
policy and that Prime Minister
Attlee had refused to accept the
resignation.
THIS WAS instantly and emphat-
ically denied.
All these developments came as
Israel formally filed with the U. N.
security council at Lake Success
complaint that the British were To-
menting an artificial crisis" over
Palestine by troop movements and
various actions just as negotiations
were about to open with Egypt.
The British foreign office state
ment warned that the security coun-
Gil has been losing control over
events" and said it had reason to
fear new Jewish violations of the
cease-fire orders in the Holy Land.
Meanwhile, critics of British pol
icy in the Middle East prepared to
demand that Secretary Bevin ex-
plain how it happened that five RAF
planes were shot down by the Is
raelis near the Palestine border.
Britain's air ministry asserted all
five planes were shot down while
flying over Egypt.
1T COULD NOT be denied that
the situation was difficult. Broken
down to its basic essentials, it is a
condition where one people must,
or have been told they must, give
way to the infiltration Of another
people-the Jews moving into Pales-
tine and the Holy Land area, the
Arabs moving out. 1t has never
been a secret that British SYM
pathies, for whatever reason, lie
with the Arabs and John Bull looks
with jaundiced eye on the partition
action and the influx of the Jews.
But the United States and some
other nations have sided with the
movement to return the Jews to
their homeland.
1t may yet require organization of
United Nations police force to
settle the affair, but how that might
be done without British cooperation
is an even weightier problem.

ACHESON:
Should Make 1t

General belief was that Dean
Acheson would be confirmed by the
senate as secretary of state. Named
by President Truman to succeed
resigned George c. Marshall, Ache
son is certain to be taken over the
hurdles in public hearings on his
appointment.
Protege of Justice Felix Frank
furter and former intimate and en-
ploye of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
innate with and former employer
of Alger Hiss and law partner of
Donald Hiss, Acheson must inevita-
bly, be reminded of these facts by
some of his interrogators.
On the other hand, he can point
to long and distinguished record
of public service in which his loyal
ties have never been questioned.
But in view of the current spy hunt
in Washington and Acheson's con-
nection with some of its principal
figures. it would be little less than
a miracle if his appointment were to
go unquestioned.
According to the record, Acheson
began his state department career
with an attitude sympathetic to
Russia-that is, to the extent that
he believed the United States should
do everything possible tC get along
with the Russians. But, since Yalta
and Potsdam. observers report that
attitude has changed and he is now
one of the most determined anti
appeasers.
The ghost of Franklin Roosevelt
will walk and the echoes of the
Yalta and Potsdam parleys will
rustic as the Acheson hearings
progress.
