Tito Dares Russia To Go TOU. N.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (P) - Yugoslavia dared Russia yesterday to take her complaints against this country to the United Nations.
 Moshe Pijade, one of Premier Marshal Tito's top-ranking spokes- men, said in an article in the off cial newspaper, BOrba:
 "Yugoslavia will have nothing to lose"
 Pijade's blast, latest broadside in the war of words between the Kremlin and Tito's regime, was touched off by an article in the Russian foreign policy weekly, New Times, which accused Yu- goslavia of duplicity in her deal ings with neighbor Albania. ' Tito, meanwhile, has read Russia a lesson from her own history books, warning she intends to build socialism in one country without coaching from the Kremlin. 80 cilaism in one country"- once was the announced goal of Premier Stalin.

Navy Starts Laying-Up Ships

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy, with an ear to predictions of broadscale reductions in military spending in the next fiscal year, already is getting ready to put more warships on the shelf.
 Starting later this month, the navy will begin to take ships out of the active fleet and tie them up.
 The program will conti n u e throughout the rest of this year and in the first half of next. The idea is that by the time the navy starts operating with funds for the 1851 fiscal year Starting next July D it will be pared down to fit the present guess of navy officials about the budgets size.
 So the laid-up fleet, along with several carriers, will go other ships that support modern day car rier task forces-including de- stroyers and probably more cruis- CTS.

Some lightning!' remarked Jim from across the table in the golf club grill. And look, will you, at that waitress crossing herself. I suppose that weird sign will keep her from being struck-poor super stitious creature"
 That weird sign" I answered, has history. Let's forget the waitress for a moment and go back 1900 years to sunny day in Rome. Look carefully at that old Jew standing by the side of the Appian Way. Isn't he too making that same weird sign? Yes, but a bit more secretive-just on his fore head or breast. Romans, Romans passing by-some splitting at the old Jew, others jeering at him. But here!-one Roman has stopped. He is stepping toward the Jew. Ha!-he too is making the weird sign-the Sign of the Cross, by which one Christian knew another and so could, with less danger, communicate about Masses or other important events. <
 When Rome became Christian, no longer was there need of se- crecy; but always there has been, and always there will be, need of faith in the Cross of Calvary on which the Goldman died for you and Tor me. And so the Sign of the Cross has lived down through the ages-the same sign except that it is noW made conspicuously with the fingers of the right hand which outline the cross from the forehead to the chest and from the

{ left shoulder to the right. AS this sign of faith is made, the follow ing words are spoken: Tn the name of the Father. and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost an act of Faith, also, in the great mystery of the Blessed Trinity.
 "All over the world Catholics be- gin and end their prayers with the Sign of the Cross, which we call blessing ourselves, because we are sure so beautiful an act of faith brings down Heavens blessings upon us. In the Mass, in the ad- ministering of the Sacraments, and in most all prayers and ceremonies, the Sign of the Cross is made many times. And we Catholics are proud of it because it is, like many of our time-halloWed customs, symbols, and ceremonies, pregnant with meaning, devotion, and humble faith.
 50 let the little waitress bless herself whenever the lightning flashes; for remember that an all- hearing God must hear her plea and that an all-powerful God can stop storm today on a golf course just as readily as He stopped storm another day on the Sea of Galilee"

The Lou DOlUn
From Hickory GrOUe

Hindsight is better than fore
sight. Nobody will debate with me
about that-so I will proceed. But
if there should be a doubling
Thomas in the audience, 1 direct
his attention to the people of that
dear old England. They figured 4
or years ago that if they switch
ed from their present boss and let
the Govt. be the Big Smoke, things
would be all milk and honey-that
the business profits would be the
peoples profits and that the peo-
pie would have the say on how
things would be run.
Now what. Instead of the work
ers being able to barge in and tell
the old boss where he got off, they
are now tapped on the shoulder by
their New Big Govt. boss, and told
to sit down and be quiet. Then the
Govt. moved in it's army and took
over the mems jobs-until the
strikers got hungry enough to go
back at the Govt. figures.
MORAL: In our own grand land
we need to polish up our foresight
glasses before we are took-in by
the sweet stories of our leaders
that make us drool and wish fol
the Utopia that they picture if the
Govt. built the dams, propped corn
and pork prices, loaned all the
money, wrote the prescriptions
picked the professors for the school
houses, said how many chickens
per farmer, ETC., etc. You said 1t
says Henry.
