O'Banyoun's
Observations

Il ever a person deserved
testimonial George Rufin is one.
l doubt if there is another who
holds such a record of long and
continuous service on one Job,
and that in itself is worthy of
merit. Not only has he been faith
full, but competent; else he could
not have stayed there so long. /
have not been much in contact
with George lately, but we have
worked together and I am fam
liar with his ability as a singer,
as well as a performer on organ
and piano. He was always retir-
ing, and could have scared high
in wider fields; but he evidently
chose the career of his liking and
made good at it: Although other
activities prevent my telling him
what | think Of him in person l
take this method of expressing an
admiration have always felt for
him, and a satisfaction in the
knowledge that his .wen-wishers
are expressing their admiration
by giving him on Feb. % big
bouquet Of flowers while he can
smell them. May he continue his
matchless service for many more
years as organist of st. Augustine
and st. Martins Church.
Although my activities do not
include the field OF popular music
I have great admiration for those
who dispense it conventionally
without descending to the mere
stimulation Of emotions. One can
admire the work of both Woody
Herman, and the King. Cole Trio,
who will entertain in Symphony
Hall, tomorrow night. If I were
free, | would certainly avail my
self to hear and see them, and I
recommend them to all who can
attend.
Often, in school, very smart
children are talSen out Of the
grades where they are studying
and promoted 70 higher grades
because of superior ability. 1t is

skip" grade, and / am always
proud of the fact that skipped"
twice during my early school life.
When person ef the ability and
promise of the late Alma J. Col
Inns, who left us one year ago, is
taken from what we think is
life of great promise, I cannot
help but think Of the process of
skipping grades, and that the

Explorers Of HimaIayas
Bag Rare Spiny BahbIer

A new specimen of Nepars rare
spiny babbler. the first obtained
for science in l06 years, has
reached the United States as a
prize of an American expedition
returning from an extensive safari
of exploration in that remote Hima-
layan kingdom.
The trophy is historic, for this is

taken by a non-native, reports the

sor of the expedition with Yale uni
versity and the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. The bird was bagged in the

feet above the steaming tropical
valley of Karnali.
There are in existence only four
other specimens of the spiny bab-
bier (Acanthoptila nepalensis), The
youngest is LOG years old. Three of
the specimens are in the British
museum. The fourth is in the New

so often recounted in holiday head
lines.
Play is a child's world and en-
tertainment, but it also serves to
stimulate the growth of his physi-
cal, mental and social abilities. For
this reason, careful selection of
playthings is an important part of
parental responsibility.
Toys should stir the imagination,
encourage the creative ability,
and train the child for better liv-
ing. Most toys serve their purpose
in a child's growth and are aband-
oned, but some toys have long
span appeal. Blocks, dolls, and doll
equipment, tools, musical instru-
ments, arts and crafts, skates and
bicycles usually continue to hold
interest all through childhood.
Select playthings which are ap-
propriate to the age, interest, and
mental and physical abilities of the
child.
Wise selection is not enough.
Some parental teaching or super
vision is a second important step.
An air rifle, archery set, dart game,
sharp knife or chemistry set, may
become dangerous in the hands of
children too young to understand
the hazards involvel. Even older
children should have adult super
vision with play equipment of this
type.

Insects Lock for Quality
In Food, EniOmO.ogisf Says

The effects Of insect injury may
be considerably more serious on
corn to be used for seed than on
corn to be used for feed, U. S. de-
partment of agriculture entomolo-
gists observe in their investigations
on the protection of both seed and
feed corn. This. says DR.. R. T.
Cotton of the bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine is because
the germ of the seed, with its
high food value, is particularly at
tractive to insects. Thus species
that are not of great importance,
If we consider the mere quantity
of the grain they destroy, are of
concern to the seedmen because
they feed almost exclusively on the
germ"
What is probably instructive in
the insects is very much in line
with recent scientific research in
human nutrition which has en-
phasiZed the high food, vitamin and
mineral values in grain germs,
much of which is milled out in
manufacture of the finer" grades
of flours and meals.
The flat grain beetle, cadello, al.
mond moth, and Indian meal moth
are some Of the insects particularly
destructive to seed corn, DR.. Cot
ton finds, because they make their
first attack on the germ.
Research and practical tests
show that a three-to-one mixture of
ethylene dichloride and carbon
tetrac chloride is the safest fumigant
to use in protecting seed corn from
insect damage.

tee said today.
Mr.. Celler said the inquiry will

I'VE want to see If the anti
trust laws passed many years ago
fit the economic pattern today"
he told a news conference.
Economist David Cushman
Coyle, named as consultant for the
investigation, remarked:
Congress had better find out if
the American people really want
to stay out Of the socialist system
and what they are willing to pay
for it. Do we want to move
toward more monopolistic control
or socialization?"
Mr.. Celler said Attorney Cen
eral Clark will be the first witness
Monday. The first hearings will
run three days a week for three
weeks. Mr.. Celler said they will
be exploratory-to develop the
agenda for the inquiry. Govern
ment officials and private citizens
will lay out the scope of the in
vestigation, he said.
Under questioning, Mr.. Celler
said that IF there is monopoly
in labor, it undoubtedly will be
investigated" But mostly the
inquiry will be concerned with
monopolistic practices in industry,
he added.
