eign policy2" No one knows the
answer-nOt even the President of
the United States. This game of
human beings killing one another
is nothing less than barbarism.
Let's suppose that the reason
thousands of people are moving out
onto farms is because there is a
growing belief that if you fail in
towns or cities that making a liv-
ing is sure bet on farm lands.
You can sell, plenty of food raised
on your own land to care for your
family.
Suppose the cost of living does
continue to go up and I'D. The
farm produces most everything
that is good to eat.
After all, the greatest part of
America is the so called Grass
Roots; regions where we find the
great out of doors. These communi-
ties are "far from the madding
crowd" 81
We all know that most of the
hardships of today exist in our

to the country and look for Jobs at
the farm houses. The farmers will
help you on the way.
An automobile trip beyond the
limits of big cities-say twenty
five miles-will show one there is
peace and plenty and encourage
ment in living in the Grass Roots
Sections of our great United States.
The Way The Money Goes

the past few days that The United
States has spent S42, 591 900 900 for

every American man, woman and
child and almost equals the cost of
operating the Federal Government
for the six years preceding World
War II.

STeSs VIII vitality AFFECT all of us,
we cannot afford to ignore our state elections if
we expect to preserve the Federal System which
our forefathers carefully planned for and for
which they sacrificed much We should be in
tensely interested in seeking men of the highest
ability integrity and foresight as our representa-
tives at the capital of each individual state The
legislation enacted IN the States and administered
by the governors surely determines the stability of
our Federal System.
The times are now so serious and the adiust-
ments we must make in our economy are so MANY
and so delicate that every mediocre state govern
ment impairs the welfare of the whole country.
Recent trends from democratic forms of govern
ment to dictatorship have occurred only in those
nations where mediOcrity and sometimes downright
Stupuiy have prevailed in local and national gov
eminent circles. In all such cases, this mediocriv
and the stupidity of the government officials can no
traced to indifference and sheer Iazness on the mart

Situations
Drun0utiZed
By AnaeIo Potri

Some children feel so much in
need of attention that they dram
atize every possible situation to
the chagrin and embarrassment
of their parents and teachers.
This is a severe handicap to the
child because it interferes with
his wholehearted attention to his
chief concerns-learning and be-
having. 1t troubles his parents
who struggle vainly to teach him
what he needs to know, supple
menting the school where he Is
consistently failing.
Jimmy is bright enough, but
he won't attend to his lessons.
He wastes his time showing off,
making faces to amuse the other
children, acting up generally"
"Susie isn't doing well at SC ool
at all. She doesn't read when the
teacher calls on her so we have
to teach her at home, and she
refuses to try until she gets
spanking, but then she reads all
right"
"Our 7-year-old boy doesn't
make progress as his older brother
and younger sister do. He makes
a scene whenever he can and up
sets the whole class. until the
teacher sends him home. Then
he tells a story of persecution.
He's always being prosecuted,
while the truth is, everybody is
keeping out of his way"
Generally these. children are in
need of the services of a children's
physician. The physicians advice
should be carefully followed. He
said my child should attend school
only half a day. She's perfectly
able to go the full day. If she
doesn't do we'll in full day what
will she do in half a day?" Much
better, can assure that. And why
ask the doctor, if his advice Is
worthless? At least follow it faith
fully and make certain.

tizing themselves in an effort to
win the attention of their elders
and their associates. For some
reason they are failing to hold
their place among them and the
thing to do is to find out way
they are failing.
An unloved or unwanted child
feels that disregard. The inbe-
tween child is being overshadowed.
The slower child is being blamed
for his nature and the lonely
child Is being punished for his
longing for companionship. Take
a good look at the disorderly, neg
ligent, giggling, careless, defiant
ones and see where home and
school and family relatives are
failing him. And ask the child
ren's specialist what can be done.
And do it.

The current state Of the to-
mato crop was one of the first
things brought to the attention OF
a District airman who parachuted
into a prison farms tomato patch.
T/Sergt. Joseph Reidy. 28OO
Thirty first street Sc, who is
celebrating his 30th birthday to-
day, told of a prison captains re-
action on finding him in the patch
on the grounds of the prison in
Philadelphia County Pao, Sun
day.
Don't you know tomatoes are
hard to get?" the airman quoted
the captain as saying in the course
of a good-natured greeting.
Sergt. Reidy last night visited
Lit. Col. Robert C. Brown, who is
recovering in Boiling Air Force
Hospital from decorations received
in crash landing the Cas- trans
port after both motors failed at
1000 feet. This occurred, officers
said, when the handle of fuel
selector broke as Col. Brown at
tempted to switch the gas supply
from an empty tank to full one.
Col. Brown, who is Bolling's op-
erations officer, ordered Sergt.
Reidy to bail out at 1,500 feet.
IT wished him the best of luck"
the sergeant said. Then we bid
each other goodbye. yanked the
cord and we went our separate
ways"
On landing Sergt. Reidy said a
prayer for Col. Brown. He was
seen by a prisoner who notified the
captain.
The plane suffered heavy dam
age, officers said. Its fuselage
buckled as the pilot rash-landed
the small transport in "a. field
500 feet short of the landing strip
at North Philadelphia airport.
The plane was enroute to Boiling
from Gernier Field, N. H.
The two men have flown to-
gether many times. During the
trouble in Palestine In 1913, they
were together for a long time,
flying as pilot and crew-chief in a
CAT in connection with work for
the American Legation in Da-
maScus, Syria.
Over Paris in February, 1949,
they were in heavy murk at 600
