A reader asks: what is the
correct thing to do when child
of friends calls you by your first
name and you don't like it? I tried
limiting to let the mother know
we don't like it but with no luck.
She is not an easy person to talk
to about her children"
You have no choice but to cor
rect the child-and very promptly.
Once you let it go it will be much
harder to make the impression on
him. Merely say. You are too
little to call me Mary. You can
call me Aunt Mary or Cousin Mary
or else Mrs. Jones'" If you say
it with a friendly smiling tone of
voice it could hardly displease the

Young Maid of Honor
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister is II
and the friend my finance has
chosen for his best man is in his
early thirties. I'd like to have my
sister serve as my maid of honor
but mother thinks possibly she's
too young in view of the best mans
age. What is your opinion?
Answer: I can't see that it is of
any Importance. The best man
comes into very slight contact with
the maid of honor. Even at the
wedding reception they are not
seated together. He sits on the
right of the bride and she sits on
the left of the groom. If their
ages were reversed then the diff
ference might make the maid of
honor seem much older-a disad-
vantage which no woman would
like.

Simplicity No Longer
Mark of Ruling Family

One Of the greatest assets Of our
Government i'm the matter of public
appeal has been, since it inception,
the plain, sincere simplicity of its
ruling family. When the Government
of the United States was organized
some hundred and scventy-tive years
ago, the people of the Old World,
both as matter of history and ma
tural aversion, were well fed up with
the oppressive, autocratic, pompous
Government that then existed on the
Continent. They had come to loathe
the purple pagentry of the Caesars
of Italy, the purse proud and profit
gate Tudors of England, the bizarre
butfoonery of the Bourbons and the
licentious levity Of Louis Of France,
with the gross galruity Of the gaudy
Grandees Of sensuous Spain. The
President of the new Republic went
about unprotected, he touched elbows
with the classes and the masses on
AN equal footing, he resided in a
house devoid of architectural eX-
travagance and he subsisted on a
salary in keeping with the living

level of the country. General George
Washington received no salary as
Commander-in-Chief Of the Revolu-
tionary forces. Thomas Jefferson
saddled his way from Monticello, his
home in Virginia to Washington,
tethered his horse to a fence post,
strobe into the Capitol and took the
Presidential oath of office. 1t was
men like these, and later by the Madi-
sons and the Monroes. the Jacksons
and the Lincolns, the Clevelands, the
Wilson's and the Theodore Roosevelts
who gave impetus and stability to "a
nationwide love and reverence for
liberty and equality. They craved no
heraldry, they lived the simple life,
the lives of statesmen whom expert
ence had taught that the ways of
Democracy is but the well trodden
path of the people.
According to information placed in
the Congressional Record, President
Truman is perhaps the best paid pub
lie official in the world One of his
first recommendation after he be-
came President in his own right was
that the salaries of all top-ranking
federal officials be smartly advanced,
such as members of the Supreme
Court, all Cabinet members, Sena-
tors and Representatives, ad infini-
tum, including automobiles for the
Vice President and the Speaker of
the House Of Representatives Nor
did he overlook his own salary, which
was increased from $4,000 to $780,
600, plus an additional $4,000 which
is exempt from all taxes. His net
salary after deleting taxes on the
first 100000, is $4,000 per year
The American people, as a matter of
course, want their President well
paid, they want him and his family
to live in an atmosphere consistent
with the exalted position which he
holds. Perhaps no one would object
to the Chief Executives stipendium
Of $4,000 year, but many Ameri-
cans will be surprised to learn just
how small that sum is compared with
the total cost of the White House and
its occupants. The figures presented
here are taken from the Congression-
al Record, and they are publicised as

247 men at cost of $4,000 a year.
Shangri-la the Presidents private
Maryland retreat requires the ser
vices of four officers and 81 men. AT
the White House there are 81 en-
ployees at cost of $l50,000 a year
These include six engineers, six car
penters, painter, four electricians,
eight gardeners, three plumbers,
gers, Il housekeeper, five buffers,
seven cooks, four doormen, seven

five secret service men protect the

More Self Help By

Leaders in agricultural develop
ment Of West Virginia and Garrett
county were complimented at Jack
sons Mill last Thursday ON their
fine efforts toward sclf-help and re-
minded that you cannot take from

ing from you"
The speaker was Roger Corbett,
Washington, d. c., past president Of
the National Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton and agricultural counselor for
a national food chain. His audience
was a group of nearly POO men and
women, most of them representing
the community councils that direct
the Farming for Better Living
program in % West Virginia coun-
ties and Garrett county in Maryland.
Corbett praised the FFBL program
for its results in encouraging farm
families to improve farming methods
and their way Of living. "Since the
start of the war" he said, "your
farm prices have doubled but your
farm income has been tripled There
must be some good reason behind
that"
Corbett warned Of the dangers Of
depending ON the government to do
for people what they should be doing

point that much of the nations de
pendence on government help is I'M

marketing efforts that eliminated the
problem of pork and poultry sur
pluses without the help of govern

threatened, he told the group, private
enterprise put on promotion cam
paigns which quickly disposed Of
those SURPRISES. In the case of poul-
try, he added, it was necessary to

To further illustrate, Corbett told
the story of young bears that were
first fed by vacationists, then re-
fused to shift for themselves. The re-
suit was that the bears had to be
placed in a zoo where they were as

Apropos Of what has been said
above, it is obvious that President
Truman regards himself as tall in the
saddle. 1t may not be prefectly clear
to an occasional reader Of this article,
if there be such, as to what the
President does with his 35 auto
mobiles, including the nine deluxe
supers made to order. Confessedly,
we do not know, unless it be that the
President is in some manner akin to

mounted his charges and rode off in
all directions.

Improving

By Bob Keefer

1t was a real treat to watch an
alert Shaw team shackle an out
classed Euclid eleven at Shaw Sta
dunn last Friday and hang up their
first victory of the season after
tie games with East and Collin
wood.
The vastly improved Cardinals
made very few mistakes as they
piled up total of 383 yards by
a well-chosen assortment of aerial
and running plays.
The game marked the unveiling
of new quarterback, Dan Kramer,
who started his first game and
ran the team with cool precision
which would do justice to Otto
Graham on one of his better days.
Kramer gave a brilliant display of
aerial artistry by completing nine
of the sixteen passes he threw,

Encouraged by their impressive
victory over Euclid last week,
Shaw's improving gridders will
open their Lake Erie League sched-
ule against Shaker Heights tomor-
row night at Shaw Stadium with
greater degree of confidence
than they had in their three pre-
vious contests.
The boys feel that they are cap
able of causing a lot of trouble for
the other teams in the circuit and
they intend to make the Red
Raiders, who won the league title
last year, their first victim.
Coach Bob Cawrse has done a
fine job in bringing the boys along
and has instilled a team spirit
which should blend nicely with the
Information variations and defen-
sive patterns he has installed.
Last weeks comparatively easy
victory has convinced the Cardi-
nails that hard work pays big divi-
dends and, taking each game as it
comes along, the team and coach
ing staff will be expending a maxi
mum of effort in the remaining
two-thirds of the schedule.
Shaker opened its defense of the
LEI. crown last week by defeat
ing a weak Elyria eleven, 1876 but
it took last-quarter rally to avert
defeat. Two pass interruptions in
the final period led to the Red
Raider scores and the fact that
they could register only two first
downs in the entire game indicated
that Elyria outplayed them.
Coach Jim Halderman, now in
his second season as the Shaker
mentor, has only five lettermen
back from the 1949 championship
eleven. The quintet of experienced
performers includes Quarterback
Van Seasholes, Halfback Don Kirk,
Tackle George Karch, End Willis
McFarlane and Center Les Nash.
In an effort to balance the line,
Halderman has switched Nash to
an end and Karch to guard but the
Raiders forward wall is still far
from impregnable. Using a single
wing offense, the visitors have not
been too effective on the ground,
netting only "A yards from scrim-
mage against Elyria. After drop
ping a 26-6 decision to Salem in
their season opener, the Raiders
were edged, 1912, by Euclid in
their second start. Despite theil
unimpressive showing to date
however, Coach Cawrse and his
staff look for tough game tomor.

Shaw Meets Shaker
Friday In Seasons S
First League Game

in the defense of the first title
the school has won since it entered
the league in 1887. The Cardinals
might also experience difficulty
against the single-wing since their
three previous opponents used the
more popular Information.
Shaw will be weakened by the
loss of Fullback Gil Sanford who
is out indefinitely with dislocated
left shoulder. The rugged senior
suffered the injury in the first
quarter of the Euclid game when
he made a tackle on a goal-line
play and his arm was pulled out
of the socket as he grabbed an
opponents jersey. In the Collin
wood game, Gil proved himself a
tough competitor when he received
a gashed eyebrow on the second
half kickoff and returned to the
game after DR.. Trump had taken
three stitches above the left optic.
He will probably be sidelined for
two weeks although he hopes to
return to duty against Lakewood
next week.
Jim Brown, second team tackle,
also joined the hospital list last
week when he tore ligaments in
his left knee during a practice
scrimmage but he, too, intends to
be ready next week. Tackle Ed
Alemagno and End Tony Gilberto,
other valuable team members, have
missed school this week due to
heavy colds but will probably see
action tomorrow night. Jack Leu
schel will start at fullback against
Shaker while Bill Frye will replace
Alemagno if the 220-lb. senior is
unable to answer the opening
whistle.
