Registration

REPRESENTATIVES of both parties

The Republicans say they work

and the fact that registration was
heaviest in the areas where Taft
has been strongest means that more
Republicans are going to vote and

HARRISBURG, Ill.,, CAMP The
Harrisburg Junior High school
opened its doors to Negroes for
the first time, last week. The

systems that segregate its Negro
students.
In the past Negro students at

NEW YORK (ANP) Events in
Korea have made it all the more
important that we strengthen de-
mocracy at home, Commissioner
Robert H. Thayer of the New
York State Copmission Against
Discrimination sad last week
spanking before the annual Inter-
faith Day Rally in Central Park
Hall.
In his address, Commissioner
Thayer pointed out that New York
state, under Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey, had led the way throughout
the nation in enacting laws pro-
tecting the employment rights of
all Of it's citizens, regardless of
race, creed, color, or national or
igin.
He traced the growth of bigotry
and prejudice and stressed the fact
that, as an assistant district at
torney to then District Attorney
Dewey, he assisted in placing the
leader of the German-American in
famous Bund, Fritz Kuhn, behind
bars.
Though laws have a tremen-
Gus value in speeding up the edu-
cation of people to the realization
of prejudice and bigotry," it was
averred in conclusion, "yet laws
are only material in their essence.
Our security and u strength
can be measured only in terms OF
our faith and our belief and oul
practice Of brotherhood"

The total purchase price of the
equipment will be approximately
$1,7OO, 900. twenty-five percent
is being paid in cash with the or
der and the remainder is being
financed by the Export-lmport
Bank credit and by the American

Loans Aiding
Jamaica's Bauxite

KINGSTON, Jamaica (ANP)-
The U. S. : ECA program is play
ing a big part in aiding the estab-

Part of the ECA loan is going
toward development of a deep
watr pier at the fashionable resort
town of Ocho RIGS on the northern
coast of the island. Another loan
of $2,5OO,OOO is being used to fl
ance construction of an aluminium
plant.
The pier is being developed by
Reynolds Jamaica Mines, Ltd, a
subsidiary of Reynolds Metals
company which operates an alum
mum plant at Hurricane creek.
Last June, Reynolds Metals an
nounced a $15,OO0,O00 program
for Jamaica to be guided by it's
subsidiary.
The pier will be connected to
the mining areas inland by a six
mile steel ropeway. A self-unload-
ing ship, being built in England,
will take the ore from the wharf
to the company's processing plant
in the United States. The ship
will call at Jamaica every eight OF
nine days and will take approx
mately $4,000 tons Of bauxite each
time. Loading will be accomplished

This and That

"An article on pine mice would be in

not the small round holes in the ground,
as mentioned by Mr.. c., indicate their
presence, and are they not ruinouS to
his plants and trees?"
There are not enough real pine mice
around here to be harmful to anything
or any one.
The Southern pine mouse is scientif-
ically Muridae pinetorum, q type OF
meadow mouse.
It is rusty brown in color, with short,
dense, silky fur.
It belongs to the great body Of field
mice, or voles. to which group belong the
jennings and muskrats.
We are much more likely hereabout to
have the common meadow mouse, Micro

In Europe meadow mice are called

Get the Right Man

Under the prod of developments abroad,
Congress is apt to complete quickly It's approval
of civil defense planning agency for Wash
ington. 1t is common sense to do so.
One Of the first things the Commissioners
must do, once they have the legislative authors
cation and the money required, is to appoint a
suitable director Of civil defense. The Star sug-
gestS the selection of some available retired mill
tary man, of senior rank, who saw service abroad
during the past war. Governor Dewey has chosen
General Clay for a somewhat comparable job in
New York. We would do well to follow that
example in Washington, with the experience in
mind of the many mistakes committed last time
in fumblng around for adequate administration
OF civil defense.
The job requires sound planning, especially
in such things as establishing local communca-
tions network, selection of supervisory personnel
for voluntary civilian service and maintenance
of proper liaiSon with Federal agencies, including
the military In the hands of some political job
seeker or Hollywood promoter, a very fine mess
can be made of the whole business. While The
Star does not agree that the legislation denotes
any hysteria administration of civil defense can
become nightmare unless the proper man is
chosen to direct it.

It may be just little Sammy Meadow

Prolific is the word for meadow mice.
They have four to six ltters year, half
dozen at time.

mouse. if one is fortunate, affords some
thing interesting to watch
The observer forgets their kinship to
rats, and sees only a picturesque small
fellow with bright eyes and stubby ears

The meadow mouse will become ac-
customed to the watcher, and will go
about its proper business of snatching q
few seeds from the bird feeder.
A mouse, Of course, is little rat. We
must not forget that; usually we call the
large ones rats, and the little ones mice.
But somehow it is impossible to feel
unfriendly to- a meadow mouse that turks
near your suburban garage.
He is part of the outdoor life, to be
admired and STUDIED. One soon works up
a genuine affection for the bold mouse,
with its neat subdued coloring, bright

Another French Government

An encouraging fact about the new French
government-headed by Premier Rene Pleven, an
independent Radical (conServative)-is that the
Socialists are part of it. This means that the
moderates of the left, the center and the right
are going to try to work together again, for the
first time since last February, as Third Force"
whose combined votes outweigh those Of the
opposite political extremes-the Communists and
the de Gaullists.
When the Socialists quit participating in the
government five months ago, their detection
paved the way for the crisis that left France
without cabinet for the past three weeks That
crisis-precipitated by a relatively minor
domestic wage dispute threatened to vitiate the
important leadership role recently assumed by
the French in such historic projects as the
Echuman plan for European coal-and steel
pool Moreover, since it involved a key member
of the Atlantic Pact in a time of great world
tension it also worked against the best interests
Of the West as a whole.
Mr.. Pleven's success in bringing an end to
this crisis by organizing government with
Socialist participation is attributable in part to
the fact that he has promised to do something
about the domestic wage issue. But the most
important factor behind the support accorded
him in the National Assembly is that the key
p0Fties in the Third Force"-the Socialist the

predominantly Catholic Popular Republicans and
the conservative Radicals apparently have felt
patriotic compulsion to subordinate partisan
politics in these days of international danger.
At any rate, Mr.. Pleven, besides calling for
increased defense expenditures placed major
emphasis on that viewpoint in successfully seek
ing approval of his coalition cabinet The
Assemblys favorable response leaving aside the
Communists and extreme rightists-has been
strong enough to suggest that he and his gov
ernnent may have a chance to stay in office
until the general election next year. Certainly,
as far as Western Europe is concerned, few things
are more needed at this time than French
political stability.

When Milk Goes Up'

July S (those graphs on the editorial
page) and while milk agrees with my
stomach. something in my head re-
volted. am wondering why all these
statistics weren't crammed down the
outlets of every milk worker and union
leader during the recent strike.
The farmer should have been called
upon at that time to give his reasons for
not dropping his prices. Being familiar
with the exorbitant prices of grains and
feeds. feel certain his reason is a sound
one.
AS for the driver. just how much does
he need to put into this pie to demand
such a big return? Milk is an essential
in every home-he doesn't have to sell
the housewife on this idea. AS I see it,
he has to know how to carry milk to and
from his truck, drive a truck, remember
his route and keep his books straight.

On Re-exuminine Dentists

A recent letter to The Star suggested
that dentists be re-examined from time
to time to check their skills. My wife
went to see dentist, who told her after
x-raying her teeth that two of them
would have to be extracted; that plate
to replace them would cost $65;
that a front tooth needed filling.
and that there were seven other various
and Sundry filings. This dentists Office
was not convenient for my wife, so she
decided to see q dentist closer to our
home. After X-raying her teeth, he
told her there need be no extractions;
that the two teeth in question could be
filled; that there was nothing wrong
with her front tooth, and that she needed
only four filings.
The first dentists bill would have
been $165. The second dentists bill will
be $45.
Do dentists need re-examining? You're
darn right
Reader.
