The tropics and coconut
palm trees go hand and hand.
In our community, coconut
trees, a member of the palm
family, is a food producing tree
Depending upon the soil and
seasons fresh coconuts can be
obtained year round. As a re-
suit it is not surprising to find
uses for the nut fruit in the
green as well as the ripe stages
When considering the list of
cool drinks for especially hot
days, one cannot, If in the tro-
pics, omit or ignore "coconut
water" 'Coconut water is a
community 1aVor1te. 1t is a
clear refreshing liquid from
the green coconut, that is be-
fore the meat ripes.
The drink is very easily and
conveniently prepared, consid-
ering the fact that cutting a
hole at the end of the imma-
ture nut and drinking the Ii
quid is all that is required.
Neither ice nor glasses are
needed. The thick shell and

serve as an insulator which rem
ders a surprisingly cool drink
even when picked on the hot
test of days.
The main contribution of
4coconut water to the diet is
water, an essential of all living
matter. This does not detract
from the merits Of the fruit in
the green stage, rather it in
creases the list of overall con-
tributions of the coconut palm.
Of all the trees, the coconut IS
stated to yield the greatest va
riety of materials for the use
of man. Although not an out
standing contributor in any
other food materials, "coconut
water" does contain some SUI
gar, calcium & small amounts
of vitamin c. The sky is the Ii
NIT for the beverage. It is
more nOuriShing as a summer
drink than commercial sodas
and meets the requirements
for a successful fruit drink, in
that "coconut water" is refresh
ing, it is not over sweet it is
easy to drink and it gives the
sensation of GOODNESS. Pre-
pared by natures recipe, "co-
conut water" is a delightful
health drink.

spite of the pre-tax rush

The fact is that more and
more people realize that
an evening of listening to

few remaining ways to
achieve the inner peace

Hence the demand for the

and two volumes covering the
first twenty years of the century,
in which that eminent critic
chose the Ten Best Plays of the
Year (since his death in 1913 the
chore has been taken over by John
Chapman.)
Statistically, you get an idea of
the contribution of Jewish play

when you note that of the $50
plays chosen in the Mantle Year
books as the best of the past fifty
years, SO of the have b e m of
Jewish authorship. George S.
Kaufman, who has been writing
plays for more than thirty years
and can we'll lay claim to being
the most successful collaboration
in American theatrical history,
has been represented on the Man
tie "Best" lists no less than eigh-
teen times, leading all other play
wrights. In second place among
Jewish authors is the more
youthful Moss Hart, with ten
BEST" plays to his credit, six of
which were collaborations with
Kaufman during the 1930-40 de-

on to even greater fame on his

One play, Death of a Sales

with excellent chances. too.
They're not just women who
were allowed to put their names
on the ballots by the men.
They're running as individuals"
The reasons why women have
had so little opportunity to vote
for each other since they first
went to the polls in 1920 are
several, and in one phase, at
least, controversial. And for
almost every argument given
an exception can be cited.
Women political leaders are
unanimous in saying that any
woman, to win acceptance and
recognition from the men in her
party, must be twice as good as
man. They point to the
praiseworthy petticoat delega-
ton in the House and Senate
this year as proof of the high
standard required Of women.
With the exception Of Repre-
sentative Norton, Democrat, Of
New Jersey, who retires this year
after a quarter century of solid
achievement, the nine women
House members are running
again, all with excellent chances
of being returned.
Many women hesitate to
make the race for Congress be-
cause of the physical and emo
tional toll it exacts. 1t isn't
just the stress and strain of
sspeechmaking and public ap-.
pearances. Women find it hard
to take the knocks and blows
that fall to every candidate.
Bertha Adkins, Republican
womer's chieftain, admits rue
fully, 1T takes a pretty cour-
ageous woman to get into the
rough and tumble of these
fights. And there's no getting
away from it, women do have
a subjective point of view"
For the married woman poll
tician, there is frequently the
problem Of TRANSFORMING home

their disagreements with the
White House during the next two
years might include foreign policy
In the Pacific as well as the Fair
Deal domestic program.
In the Senate, where only one
third Of the members are elected
every two years, the Republicans
have q practical reason for want
ing to win control this year. There
are more Democratic seats at
stake next Tuesday than there
win be In 1852, hence more States
in which the q. .. p. can battle
for Senate seats. There are a
dozen seats the Republicans can
make a try for this year.
More Seats at Stake
In 1852. the situation will be
reversed. OF the Senate seats at
stake that year, 20 are now held
by Republicans and IL by Demo-
Gratis. OF the latter at least five
can be marked off as sure to stay
Democratic In the solid South.
That leaves only Z the Repub-
licans can fight for in 1852, while
the Democrats will be shooting at
20 Republican seats.
Unless the United Nations Or
ganization finds a workable
formula for peace that would
make it safe to slow down on
rearmament plans, the next two
years will find Congress facing
decisions that will be essential
but not easy to make. There
will be changes in the draft, law,
higher taxes and related legisla-
ton.
At the same time, the heavy
demands on the Treasury for ma
tional defense will make 1t more
difficult for Congress to vote funds
for domestic social programs that
many in both parties would like
to be able to point to when they
go into the 1852 campaign.
In these circumstances, it is a
safe conclusion that, whichever
party winds up in control of
Congress next Wednesday. its
leaders will have a hard row to
hoe.

Representative Douglas, Demo-

In just one contest is woman

ocratic Representative Reva Beck
Bosone is opposed by Ivy Baker

To be sure, timid souls are

in Loudoun County, eclipsed the
Home Rule, while opposition has
centered with an organization
headed by Miss Elizabeth White.
Their reform issue in Fairfax is
expected to bring out the largest
vote in the county's history. OBJ
servers concede victory for reform
advocates but believe the fight
between county manager and
county executive advocators will
be close one.
In some respects the Fairfax
fight is one between suburban and
rural areas. The county manager
plan has the backing of the
County Federation of Citizens
Associations, the League OF
Women Voters, the Taxpayers
Advisory Association and the Com
mittee for Good Government
consisting of representatives from
| the other three groups.
While membership of these Or
CARNATIONS consist largely OF
urban residents, manager hackers
also claim support from the
sparsely populated areas.
Support for the executive plan
has come mostly from members
Of a former Government Study
Commission which recommended
to the Board of Supervisors that
1t request that the executive plan
be included on the referendum
ballot. This commission was
headed by Walter Grain, and it's
report was written by>a committee
headed by David Lawrence, Wash
ington news writer. Mr.. Lawrence
has remained a stanch advocate
OF the executive plan.
How Lines Are Drawn
Opposing any change in gov
eminent, Or rather advocating
that the county write its own
charter to be enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly, is the Committee
to Retain Representative Govern
ment in Fairfax County. This
group Is composed of those who
want no government change.
Manager dvocateS have
charged during the campaign
that the study commissions re-
port advocating the executive plan
was designed to split the vote and
thus defeat the manager system
They have pointed out that q
majority of commission members
were known to favor no change,
asserting that by backing the ex-
ecutive plan they will gain the
support of those who will vote
against reform.
Under the law voter may cast
his ballot against change in gov
eminent. but then may vote for
one or the other of the reform
plans. It has also been charged
by manager advocates that of all
commission members only two
Mr.. Lawrence and Lewis S. Travis
of Chantilly-have activity urged
a vote for change. Other men,
bers, 1t has been said, have
hedged on the first question
either stating that they propose
to vote mo-" or that the question
is not important.
It has been claimed that the
commissions position has been
weakened by this attitude among
| its members.
Differences in Plans
To the casual observer the bit
ter fight between the two reform
factions may be difficult to under
stand, since both the county and
county executive plans provide for
sweeping changes in government
Both provide for an admins
trative officer to handle the coun-
TVS business. Both provide that

revenue and treasurer, now elected,

''Ike" To Organize

BRUSSELS, Belgium, (P)-The 12 Atlantic Alliance nations an- nounced yesterday Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will begin early in 1851 to organize an international army to keep the peace in Europe.
 A communique issued at the end of. a two day conference said the Atlantic Pact chiefs also agreed on plans for German par ticipation in "an integrated force under centralized command"
 The 12 nations earlier had ap- proved the appointment of Gen. Eisenhower as the supreme com mander for the international force.
