A German Girl Sees Her First Football Game

Sechriest; the writing of tht
article 1cas an assignment from
him: and he Wds good enough
to give it to me for publication
By Evelyn Lehrnbecher
I had made up my mind t.
read a book that afternoon but,
when | looked into the shocked
faces of my roommates, knew
that doing this would be worse
than treason; SO changed my
mind, and followed the crowd
to watch a football game-the
first football game in my life.
There was a great problem as
to who would accompany me.
None of the three girls thought
herself worthy of inaugurating
q newcomer into the secrets of
football. Since it was Kate who
knew the rules best, we grabbed
our tickets and off we dashed.
have often seen bees swarm
ing in my garden, but that was
no comparison to the picture
which greeted me when l finally
found my seat, after stumbling
over fifty pairs of feet. There
was a great green meadow,
fianked by a band on each side,
attired in most fantastic cos
tunes, and surrounded by tier
after tier of eager thousands.
! never knew that so many
varied colors existed, until | saw
all those people dressed in the
vivid hues America loves, there
under the clear October skies. /
began to understand the feeling
of the spectators who didn't
hesitate to make trips Of hun
dreds of miles to see the big
event of the week-the game.
A laundering yell interrupted
my thoughts, and there the crowd
stood, screaming something
which sounded like "Rah! Rah
Rah" AS / was wondering
where they all got the same idea
at once, a line of boys and girls
dressed in the University's colors
danced into view, inspiring the
crowd to this ear-splitting roar.
Everyone was excited at this
moment except me-and Rame-
ses, dressed in the colors Of the
school, and grazing peacefully
on the field below, holding all
my attention.
Suddenly, everything hap
pened at once! The crowd yelled,
the band played, the cheer
leaders cheered, and there they
came-the team, running onto
the field. After | was told by
Kate which team was ours, /
was ready for the game to begin
and how it started!

THE NEXT CONGRESS

y Congress will jog along until the
end of the year 1850. Business is
going slow on Capitol Hill and the
Trumanites are singing post cleo
tiOn blues. One writer says that
"even though some miracle may
throw the ball into the hands of
Democrats, they still lack the time
to reach the goal line"
There isn't much reason to ex-
pect Republicans to ring many
bells because they can't cash in
their newly elected strength until
January, when the 82nd Congress
convenes. The washington news
papers predict that most of the
major issues before Congress slips
into it's political boots the begin
ming of the new year.
Twenty eight States will have
one party delegations in the House
of Representatives in January as a
result Of the November z elections,
a survey by the Congressional GU
artery, a private research agency,
shows.
In the present Congress, 26 Stat
es are represented in the House
by single party delegations, with
! 16 States all Democratic and 10 all
Republican.

BAD EGG STORY

A high grade publication in Chi
cagO has published an editorial and
news article in which it says
that the Government of the United
States has bought more than $4,000,
600 pounds of dried eggs since
January / at a cost Of $75,OO0,OO
At the same time American food
manufacturers are buying dried
eggs not from our surplus stocks
at 96c a pOund-but they are buy
ing imported Chinese eggs at TIC a
pound.
The net result of our support of
egg prices has been to make them
so high that they are unsalable-a
pain in the budget of the American
housewife relatively small but
wholly undesirable flow of Amer
ican dollars to the Chinese Comm
unist-there is a horrible mix up
in which we have ultimately been
gyped and played for a sucker. No
wonder the price. of eggs has been
9.3 cents adOzen in Washington in
November.

PeOpe who are associated with
food production know that plenti-
full foods are eaten in quantity.
Chicken raisers eat more chicken
than beef and the family which
owns an apple orchard rarely suf-
fers from a lack of apple pie.
Those not. associated with food
production are often aware, plenti:
full supplies of foods on the market.
Usually these large supplies are
evident because of the price. While
all food prices seem high there are
some items priced lower than US
lal because Of large stocks.
In reviewing the markets this
week one observes that plentiful
foods can make one or more COM
plete meals. among these foods are
turkeys and pork. Remember that a
half turkey may be bought. This
half turkey will often meet the
needs of the average family much
better than the big bird.
Cranberries and cabbage are two
more plentiful foods that have Sc
many uses in the average family
Sweet potatoes good sources of vi
tamin A, have endless uses and
their cost fits the food budget Sc

Cheese may be used in place oi
meat on many occasions. SharT
cheese for cooking is used in less
quantity than the milder varieties
Many people prefer sharp cheese
for sandwiches too. Grated cheese
with onion and celery make an ex.
cellent sandwich filling. Mayon.

FARM REVOLT
ON SUBSIDIES
AT NEW PEAK

The farmers dissatisfaction with
reached a new peak re-
Gently when Charles B. Shuman,
president of the Illinois Agricul-
tural Association, called for a
drastic reduction in Federal farm
spending. He urged farmers to take
the lead in steps to cut such non
defense OTtlays.
Through amendment and adj
ministrative rulings, we are far re-
moved from the original intent of
farm program legislation Mr.. Shu
man said Certainly neither far
mers nor Congress contemplated
the present huge Federal agricul-
tural bureaucracy with the expen-
diture of millions of dollars in adj
ministrative costs and subsidies
during high farm-income periods.
Cuts Proposed
81 would suggest that we in agri-
culture take the lead in reducing
governmental nOn-defense spend
ing by supporting drastic reduc-
tions in farm program expenses.
81 am convinced that agriculture
would not be seriously damaged by
suspension of practically all farm
program activities and expendi-
lures during periods when our pric-
es approach parity"
In conclusion, Mr.. Shuman said
labor aid business, as well as other
economic grolps, should likewise
pare demands for special govern
ment aid.
Other Farmers Agree
Delegates to a recent meeting OF
the National Potato Council ex-
pressed similar sentiments. The
consensus was that farmers would
be better off when the price sup
port for potatoes expired.

Americans Have Done
A Lot For Santa Claus

It's little wonder that Saint Nick
is especially generous to the Amer
ican people. History proves that
the Americans have done a lot for
Saint Nick!
According to research experts,
the Americans have given Saint
Nick new name, a new face and
figure. and a new means of trans
pOrtatiOn.
The original European version of
Saint Nick pictured him as a tall
angular man who rode on a bOny
gray mare. Both the horse and
Saint Nick looked as if they hadn't
had a good meal in some time The
Saint had dep sunken eyes an wore
a flowing threadbare cloak and a
black skull cap
The early English settlers in this
country giving Saint Nicholas his
New Look" The English children
adopted the legendary Christmas
figure from the Dutch, but the Eng
lish children had trouble pronounce
ing saint Nickolous." Somehow
the name changed to "Sant Kalouf,"
and finally it was corrupted to
Santa Clause"
However, this was only the be-
ginning In 1909 Washington Irv-
| ing, in his "KnickerbOcker's His
tory of New York." wrote of the
Saint as the guardian of New York
City. Irving described Saint Nick
as a jolly fellow with a broad brim-
med hat and huge breeches. He
taught Saint, Nick to smoke long
pipe, and, in the story, replaced
his shuffling hay burner with Z
trim wagon that floated over New
York hOusetops.
I A short time later, Saint Nicholas
transformation was aided by Glenn
ent Moore in his famous poem
''The Visit from Saint Nicholas,
written in 1882. Moore, a professor
Of Divinity in a New York theOlo
gical seminary, gave Saint Nick
sleigh, twinkling eyes. cheeks lik,
roses, nose like a cherry, and ;
round little belly.
TOday's Santa Clause is by n
means streamined, but he is afa
cry from the lean, ascetic, somberi
dressed fellow who, for centurie;
on Christmas Eve, guided his mar
through the streets of Europe.

There is a wide spread report
that the secrets of the atomic bomb
have been impaired to hundreds

These facts have been brought
out following a report made by the
Chairman Gorden Dean of the Ato-
mic Energy Commission who has
gone into some detail regarding the
bomb. 1t seems possible to believe
that Uncle Sam will be ready to
touch off an explosion if the Com
