ANNIVERSARY.

(Fron, Mrs. H. L. G., ArlingtonJ
To Mrs. c. l.: I saw your re-
quest and want to tell you about
our party for my mother and
father the goth of November and
maybe you can get some ideas
for your party.
Why not let your parents in on
the secret? Our parents were like
children looking forward to the
day. I might say there was my
self, two sisters and a brother,
which made it a lot Of fun. This
was their golden anniversary. We
had guests for dinner, but mother
had to get out of the kitchen. We
cooked the dinner, turkey, ham,
vegetables. We had yellow pa
per tablecloth. The cake was a
three tier and was yellow and
white with a big SO on the top.
The ice cream was bought in a
roll individually wrapped, white
with yellow center. Most any
color scheme could be carried out.
Plan to take pictures. Either with
your own camera or q photogra-
piers. Something else that de-
lighted our parents was a corsage
Of yellow roses for mother with
q $50 bill. Pops boutonniere had
a $40 bill. They surely got a big
kick out Of the party.
I realize If you do all Of the
entertaining by yourself you will
want to cut down on something.
I don't believe any form Of enter
tainment will be necessary, for
when we get our parents together
with their friends 1t is mostly
talk of old times.
Hope you have as much fun as
we did. Just a pleased look from
your parents will be worth all
the trouble you will go to.

CHRISTMAS SCENE.

(Frorn Mrs. o. A. c., ArlingtonD
Some months ago you had a
request asking where she could
take her children to see farm
animals. Here is an answer but it
should be noted at once.
The Arlington Forrest Church
put on a living Nativity Christmas
scene that is wonderful. They
have living characters and all
kinds of living barnyard animals.
It depicts the real meaning Of
Christmas. This may be seen on
church lawn on the evenings Of
December %, %, "a and rs. No

This is on Henderson road and
Lee boulevard, Arlington. Follow
route so from Lincoln Memorial
to Virginia. Stay on route so for
about 4 miles and church scene

AUSTRALIAN GIFT.

Iron, Mrs. W. N. E., WinchesterJ
I read the request for sugges-
tions for a gift from Australia,
and there are a number OF gifts
made from mulga wood and kan
garoo skin, that could be shipped
here without damage. There are
many articles made from shells
and coral, which are very lovely,
but unfortunately they are a little
delicate to ship those many miles.
My husband has a tobacco pouch
that my mother sent him that Is
made from kangaroo skin. Then
there are book ends of mulga
wood (Which is really outstand-
ing in it's beauty or a belt made
of the same. A wallet from Aus
tralia would be useless here as
the pound note is not as long and
much wider than the dollar bill.
Australia is noted for its quality
shoe leather and a pair of shoes
or bedroom slippers would be a
long-wearing and attractive gift.
Sheepskin floor rugs are very rich
looking in a room. Then, OF
course, those Australian opals are
world renowned and they make a
really breath-taking piece Of jew
elry. It has been four years since
I left home and I am not fully
aware Of the prices now. But !
am very sure the articles I men,
toned are below the $40 limit.
Kangaroo skin luggage would
make a lovely gift. but may be
above the $40 limit. OF course.
there are always Australian wool
products, the price depending
upon the article.
I do not live in Washington,
otherwise I would be glad to show
you the beauty of mulga wood.
But I do hope that my letter
has been of some help to you.
Let me know through RICH about
your gift.

Capital Comment
BY Congressman VIM. M. colmer

year; it actually cost 81 .040 mil
lion. Great Britain was in no
position to afford any such ben
efits, and they could by no
means have been provided with
out aid from the United States
= aid, by the way, that was
created by private enterprise.
The wealth of Great Britain
has been redistributed all right,
and with q vengeance, but the
nation is no better off than
when the policy was adopted.
And now, after four years of
such redistribution, the Social
ist government itself has had to
tell the people there is no fur
ther possibility of tax income
from this source, that any ex-
tension of benefits will have to
be paid for by the individuals,
who receive, by the people
themselves. What disillusion-
ment - when the people had
been led to believe there was
no end to the benefits they
could obtain in this manner.
Are we in the United States
learning the lesson that the ex-
perience of Great Britain is
teaching us? That is a serious
question - and upon the an
swer depends the future well
fare of this nation and its peo-
pie. Don't tell the industrialists
of Great Britain that it can't
happen here! They will laugh
at you. They will tell you that
if anyone had told them ten
years ago, or as late as five
years ago, that they would now
be living under the kind of gov
eminent they have, they would
have said he was crazy. For
Gods sake, they told me time
and again, don't let socialism
get started in the United States
of America! You are our last
great hope for the preservation
of freedom in the world. Don't
let the socialist camel get his
head into the tent of free en-
terprise. There's not room
for both of theml
We will do well to remember
this warning whenever meas
ures r presented proposing
that the government do for us
what we should be doing for
ourselves. We should avoid the
planned economy and the wei
fare state like we would avoid
the plague. They may sound
good on paper, but they only
lead to stagnation and ruin"

County Students Honored

-Four Jackson county students reflected considerable
credit on both themselves and the local school systems last
week when they carried off honors in statewide ESSAY con-
tests.
On Saturday evening at the Elks' Home in Biloxi Miss
Virginia La Sabe of Moss Point was presented with that
organizations National Foundation scholarship for taking
first place in a statewide annual contest sponsored by Mis-
sissippi Elks.
Also at a banquet on Saturday evening in " icksburg
Miss Peggy Harris of P~ascagoula was announced as the
state winner in an essay contest sponsored by the VFW
Auxiliary. In addition to Miss Harris taking top state hon.
os in this contest, Shirley Benefited of Moss Point and
Marlene Byrd of P~aseagoula were named second and third
place state winners in the same contest. These three young
ladies won the Jackson county contest in the same order.
These honors not only reflect the competency of our
youngsters, but also that of the teachers and schools that
are training their minds.

branches to collect evidence of
corrupt practices by officials. The
commissions, to be composed of
military, police and civilians, will
be given power to act against
guilty officials.
As part of the campaign under

Amerieanism Versus Socialism

AU1erlcdnism Nehsus
History teaches US that after
every major war there is con-
siderable social, political and
economic unrest in the coun-
tries affected. America is no
exception. Members of Con-
gress are constantly being bonn
barded with propaganda, in the
aftermath of this latest World
War. Some of it is good and
some of it is bad; some is de-
signed to inform and some is
designed to deceive. The fol-
lowing statement, from Mr..
Thurman Sensing, Director of
Research, Southern States In
dustrial Council, Nashville, Ten
nessee, seems to be worthy Of
consideration. Mr.. Sensing
writes:
! have just returned from
an eight weeks visit to Great
Britain, where | studied at first
hand the results of a socialist
government in action and OBJ
served its effects upon the free
dom and the economy of the
people.
After four years of peace, I
found the people of Great Brit
ain still suffering under ration
ing and price control. Even so,
prices of staples are relatively
high and Injuries are out Of
the question. Their diet is even
worse in some respects than it
was during the war;. Goods in
the shops r scarce and quail
ity is poor. The cost of living
continues high. Taxation has
reached a point where il is al
most u~nbearable, and if contin-
ued will inevitably ruin the ma
ton. Production in the factories
per man hour is low. The cost
of manufactured goods is such
that they can not compete in
the markets of the world on a
price basis. The people, in eff
feet, are prisoners on their own
tight little isle. only a limited
number being permitted to
travel abroad each year, and
each of this number only being
allowed to spend a maximum
sum of $40 for the purpose.
The present predicament of
that once proud nation is UNI
questionably the result of state
control imposed upon the peo-
pie by the Socialist govern
ment when it came into power
four years ago. The wasteful-
ness and bungling and ineffi-
cheney of the government in op-
Grating the key industries which
ii has thus far nationalized have
resulted in enormous losses
which have had to be paid for
out of the taxpayers pockets.
The political entanglements
brought on through bulk buy
ing by the government in the
markets of the world have also
cost the taxpayers enormous
sums of money, and have at the
same time resulted in less food
for the people and higher costs
for raw materials for their fac
tories. The free welfare bene-
fits promised the people by the
Socialist government through a
policy of soaking the rich have
cost far more than was
planned. The free health serv-
ice, for instance, was planned
to cost $500 million the first

drop for the Generals brashness. Ria decided
to 60 with us, husband notwithstanding.
Several fellow actors came to my dressing
room pleading with me to be introduced to
VASTLY.
BE acquainted, all" shouted. There was
scramble of handshaking in which some of
the actors found themselves shaking hands
with each other.
Ria plowed her way through the crowd like
dreadnought. "And here" said to
Stain, ''is the friend was telling you

kovo. site of the country dacha where this
aristocrat of the Peoples Republic hides from
the people.
Among the things the careening automo-
bile ride logged loose were my assorted past
memories of VASTLY. As recently as five years
before, nobody in Russia had even known
that Our Leader had a son. Later reports
said that Joseph Stain had fired revolver
out the window to celebrate the birth of his
son. If so, it was the first and last public
sound ever occasioned by VASTLY until his
name popped up as full-grown air-force
lieutenant early in the war

AFTER his debut. VASTLY and had often
run into each other at cocktail parties. 1t
was his custom to arrive alone and unencum-
bered, the better to depart with the most
attractive lady present. Vassily's entrance
was usually signaled by the bands striking up
his favorite melody, chattanooga Choo-
Choo." Several times during the tune, wher-
ever the lyrics called for it, Stain would
shout chattanooga Choo-Choo" at the top
of his lungs, or whisper it suggestively to
his dancing partner.
As matter of fact, it was Chattanooga
Choo- -Choo" that started our relationship.
One day at lively theatrical-club party, the
dashing aviator singled me out. Grabbing me
by the arm, he ushered me out on the veranda
sit down and have 'Kremlin,'" he said,
offering me one of the Soviet's most highbrow
cigarettes.
Then he gazed seriously into my eyes and
said: "Comrade Petrovskaya. have been
wanting to ask you something for long
time. What the blazes does Chattanooga
Choo-Choo' mean?"
Stain had gotten pang of conscience at
the possibility that he might be singing cap
italist propaganda. When l cleared his
doubts, VASTLY traipsed back to the merry
makers singing ''Chattanooga Choo-
ChoO' for all he was worth.
VASTLY Stain never suggested any mid
night elopements to me. He told his friends
was too tall for him: 5619" against his low
foreheaded 5'3" When we danced, he came
up to my earlobes. The discrepancy in height
