Wars, the American Legionnaires know all too well, come in cycles of about every 20 years. And the children of today can be our friends or the soldiers Of tomorrow. That's
 why the fTienGthip gestulse of toys, the first installment of which sails from Philadelphia today, can be so important.
 That's also why the distribution of the toys, which will be in the
 hands of the efficient CARE organ tization, will have to be distributed with a little publicity and fanfare to make sure that the people of Europe understand the full mean ing of this carefully and patiently collected tide of toys from the veterans of America.

NEW FEDERAL HANDOUT

While the Federal Office of Education is putting the finishing touches the bill President Truman has served notice on Congress that he will urge a program of Federal scholarships and student loans And thus the "handout state prepares to take an- step in centralization bureaucracy and govern ment support of its citizens.
 Apparently the Office of Education is planning a program to cost $3OoOOO00O year to provide scholar ships for 100000 undergraduate students and 37500 graduate and professional school students To win the backing of the more needy colleges, the program is shrewdly timed to get under way as the Federal subsidy through the GI bill of rgths tapers off
 It will be hard for many educators, harassed by lack of funds, to come out against such pan They need the money. But some others with more courage or else better financed colleges, blunt in their warnings
 And even if all the college Presidents went along, there still would be telling arguments against Federal grants to students. High school graduates from needy families already have many opportun- ties for scholarships par-time employment if they really want higher education And there is no sound reason why the people whole should be taxed further to subsidze certain youngsters the basis of their grades in high school

Tide of oy5

Every Christmas I near some folks arguing that Christmas has become too commercialized, that we give presents chiefly to those who we think are going to give us something in return, that we should net merely practice Christ's teach ings on his birthday, but every day.
 ! have heard quite few people talk this way, but until now haven't known many people to do much more than talk about it. This year, however, it's been diff ferent.
 Christmas has been over more than a month now, and at Phila- delphia today an event will take place showing that several million people have been following the above advice and are trying to make Christmas come not once a year but in January, February and March too.
 For today the U. s. Lines steam CT American Adventure embarks fer Rotterdam carrying the first installment of one of the most pre- cious cargoes ever collected in the USA.-the tide of toys. These friendship toys are being donated through the tireless efforts of the American Legion to the children ot Europe.
 Of course, this column is sup posed to report the closed-dool meetings of Congress and the back stage maneuvers of diplomats. But no story is more important thar the backstage account of how the American Legion collected som' 3,0C0,C00 toys in the short space of five weeks, got them sorted packed for export, and shipped to Philadelphia.
 On the surface, this may have seemed easy. But it wasn't, it took days of careful organizing, plus a lot cf courage on the part ot Legion leaders, to start such gi- gsntic rroject-especially at a time when everyone wanted to relax after Christmas.

Soldiers of Tomorrow?

However, the men who have fought cur wars in the past realized that there is only one way to win peace for the future-by working at it. For peace is not a berib- boned parchment which diplomats sign after a war is over. It is a living, breathing day-to-day docu- ment the people of a nation must work at year after year.
 Peace is like a successful mar riage. The hardest part begins after the marriage license is signed. And the fact that so many Americans forgot to work at peace and re- treated into their shell of isola- tion during the Harding Coolidge days after 1913, was one reason why we had to fight again in l94l.

his in it's recommendations |:

this in it's recommendations:
 "(A) increase efficiency in the Pest Office Department before us- ing the deficit as basis for set ting rates.
 "(B) provide for the setting of rates for special services by the Post Office Department admins tratiyely as recommended by the Hoover Commission report.
 "(C) Consider the rates for first, second-, third, and fourth-class mail as separate units so that more careful study can be made of the problems involved by the rate structure recommended.
 "D) Give the American public an opportunity to he heard on the bill in it's present form, which diff fers so radically from the bill as introduced and upon which testl- mony was taken.
 "(E) Reorganize the Post Office Departments cost aScertalnment system to include such important intangible considerations as relative priority, degree of preferment, and economic value of the several class es of service, which are essential if it is to be used as tool in conjunction with all of the other factors that go into the operation of the postal establishment. The st-ascertainment system should not E, used as an absolute guide for establishment of postal rates.
 "(FD The results and facts, which will become available for appraisal and consideration, of the present committee investigations of the in adequacy of mail service by reason of the abandonment of. many Lranch railroad lines throughout the country"
 Whether the rates are too low, adeuuate or too high can cnly be determined by cost accounting af- ter the elimination of waste and inefficiency. If the rates are made ouate. it needs to be ascertained precisely where the less $.
 While it cannot be expected that the Post Office will take a com- mercial view of costs, it needs nev- ertheless to be determined whether throwing the full burden of the loss in revenue on newspapers and magazines will best serve the Unit cd States. The Hoover report show ed that the Post Office could re- duce it's expenditures hy about S14O,OO0, 1000; yet the Post Offices answer to this has been not to improve its efficiency but demand an additional $13O,0OO,00o. That is political cynicism gone hog wild, which apparently is the tone of the times
 A department which provides under acts of Congress, costly sub sidies cannot justify loading onto some industries the cost of subsi- dizing others. Of course, the fault does net rest entirely with the Post Office which is bound by acts of Congress. But the Post Office avoids constructive proposals to Congress, fearful that it will tread on pol it,cal toes. Therefore, it kites and pyramids, which in business are regarded not only as faulty but unethical Eractises.
 Before Congress permits the rais- ing of any rates, the Post Office should be made into modern, efficient, businesslike organization. Then, if it still operates at loss, rates should be revised on basis of sound business

Despite the troubles which would
come to the human race if the
earth lost its birds, I believe that
we could live on.
We should need to increase our
chemical warfare against harmful
insects, and we also should need
the help of our insect friends.
At this point, it should be noted
that most kinds of insects are nei-
ther helpful nor harmful to peo-
pie. They live their lives and we
live ours.
The harmful insects are a "mi-
nority group" They include such
pests as mosquitoes, housef1ies, boil
weevils and scale insects.
The insects which people look
on as good are those which help
the human race. Among them are
bees which provide honey and
far more mportant-which spread
pollen from flower to flower. Other
good insects are silk moths which
provide silk, and various others
which destroy harmful insects.
With the loss of birds, there would
be an increase in the number of
helpful, as well as harmful, insects
The helpful insects would have a
better supply of food. Also there
would be an increase in the number
of such small insect-eating animals
as frogs and toads.
The chief danger to people from
harmful insects is in the spread
of disease and the injury to food
crops. Certain kinds of mosquitoes
are among the insects which spread
disease In a world without birds,
we should need to adopt stronger
measures to cut down the number
of mosquitoes.
AS to food crops, it would be of
great Importance to develop a
greater number of plants which
can live despite the attacks of in
sects. Work of this nature has
been done already but a great deal
more of it would be needed.
Now I think it is time to call a
halt to thinking about a world
without birds. There is nothing
known in the world today which
is likely to destroy the race of
birds. We may expect them to fly
about as long as people walk or
ride. Despite the atom bomb and
other dangerous products, I ex-
pect the human race to be around
for millions of years to come.

THE OTHER night we served
pizza at a small party, and
great were the praises for it.
Now let us tell you about a
wonderful pizza that you can
buy already prepared. We just
learned that Variety Sales Co
has the prepared pizza, and
you don't have to bother with
the dough, tomatoes, oregano
and Mozzarelle cheese. Just
heat it up in the oven, and lis
ten to your guests praise your
ingenuity.
Used to be that we fixed oul
own, but since discovering the
goodness of the pizza at Va
riety Sales, we've done away
with all the tedious prepara
ton. Same firm that makes
it also puts up a frozen spa
ghetti sauce, and one of these
days soon perhaps we'll have
that for you. In the mean
time, enjoy the pizza-it's de-
liciOus. And the 12-Ounce size
serves eight easily, and costs
but Csc. Could you make
snacks any cheaper than that?
And there's the advantage of
novelty in pizza, too. Try il
sometime, we think you'll like
it.

Plan 10 Put Dog Tags
On Entire Population
To Begin December 4
BY the Assoeioied Press

National Comdr. Harold Rus
sell of the Amvets said yester-
day a Nationwide program will
begin on December 4 to supply
every American with a "dog tag"
for identification in event of
atomic attack.
MIR. RAlssell said the first tags
will be distributed in Pittsburgh
and Allentown, Pa, and the cam
paign will continue across the
country until the entire popula-
tion is covered.
The Amvets' chief said the
project is expected to take more
than a year to complete and will
cost about S. million.
Resist Radiation.
The plastic tags, described as
radiation resistant" can be worn
around the neck or carried on
a key chain or in wallet. They
are designed after the metal tags
carried by GIs in World War II
and in the Korean campaign.
When first received. each tag
will bear only the persons name
and address. The individuals
blood group and RH blood type
for quick use in emergency treat
ment of shock, blast and other
injury-will be determined locally
and then marked on the tag by
q notch opposite the proper type.
Mr.. Russell said arrangements
are being made in Pittsburgh and
Allentown to make blood tess
available to the public at a. mini
mum charge.
Transportation to Be Provided.
In addition, Amvets in the two
cities will be organized into bat
talions to provide free transpor-
tation to blood-grouping centers
and to undertake door-to-door
canvassing urging citizens to re-
port to their nearest blood-group
station.
Mr.. Russell, who lost both hands
during World War II, said he will
visit Allentown on December 4
for talks before civic organizations
to encourage as many people as
possible to have their blood
grouped.
The campaign is being directed
by Gen. Alexander A. Vandergrift,
former commandant Of the Ma
rineS.

Proposed Project

A hurried called meeting OF
several local businessmen was
held Wednesday morning IN the
offices of the Prince Motor com
pany here and a proposal TO
do our part" in financing ana
conducting a county wide indus
trial survey was adopted.
The project had been discussed
at two meetings on county'Wlde
scale with representatives from
each community present prior 10
the local meeting here Wednes-
day.
Lee Braxton. Dave Nelson ana
MI. Sears from WhiteVille out.
lined the proposed project briefly
10 those in attendance and the
survey was favorable to those IN
attendance. ,
The survey will be conducted
in the near future and is slated
to require about three months for
completion. The survey is design.
ed to statistically record the ma
tive resources of Columbus coun.
ty and thereby have tangible
facts TO present to businesses and
manufacturing concerns locating
in new sections.
MI. Braxton pointed out thai
the trend today in the atomic
age is for decentralization of in,
dustry and that with the proper
information to present to poten,
tial industries, Columbus county
has a fine opportunity to surge
ahead.
