7 ouch
By Angelo Potri

Catherine, aged five, went to
her friends birthday party.
Toward evening she returned to
the house, breathless with excite
ment, her eyes shining, her whole
being aquiver with wonder.
Mother, Mrs. June has the most
wonderful house. It's beautiful.
It's like the story in the fairy
book about the princess"
THAT is lovely. I am glad you
had such a delightful time. Tell
me all about it while 1 set the
table"
"Oh, the table. First, it had a
beautiful paper cloth, green-like
and big dishful of flowers in
the middle and lots of flowers in
everybody's plate and the dishes
were all flowers, and the little
cakes were all flowers and the
ice cream-it was flowers too.
The birthday cake was beautiful!
1t had all colored icing and little
pink roses with tiny candles in
them. Oh, so beautiful"
1T must have been lovely"
Some of the light died in the
little girls eyes as she watched
her mother lay the white cloth
and the plain white dishes with
the red borders on the table.
Mother, why can't we have such
lovely things? Ellen's mother has
them. Mrs. June wears pink
dress all fluffy, like fairy,
mother"
Child, that was party. Mrs.
June doesn't set the table that
way every day, you know. Only
on special days like birthdays.
And she doesn't wear a pink
dress all the time. Only at special
times"
But the picture of that table
stayed and the child looked at
the severe setting with doubt.
Something was missing there. She
sighed and slumped down in the
chair nearest her and said, But
even on a not special day we
could have flowers, couldn't we?"
You could. You could go right
out and gather some and arrange
them in this bowl. That could be
your job"
Children crave beauty. They
need it. So do their mothers and
their fathers. To the little ones a
party table is just right and they
don't know that daily life is no
party for their parents, especially
for their mothers, and they are
likely to get things out of pro-
portion. But it is possible now
and then, to add an extra touch,
flower, a cake, a favorite dish.
And if possible, change in the
table setting. 1t is little things
that make the beloved home. The
extra thought they require, and
the labor, are worth it.
Make an occasion Of a good
report, a birthday, a holiday. 1t
all counts toward happy child
hood, a happy home.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

have just been to a circus and
it was not Ringing Brothers! I
have been sitting in car which
was parked on a busy downtown
street!
Believe me, I do not write this
in condescending way. I know
that many times I have looked Just
as funny and just as hectic and
just as worried as the people I
saw passing by today. That Is
why it is so intriguing!
I wonder what that young
couple were fussing about? I'll
bet it was not worth the loss of
this beautiful. balmy, sunny day
and they will make it up later
on anyhow! How much younger
that woman would appear If she
looked up rather than down when
she walks, and what a difference
it would make in the middle-aged
woman, with the beautiful face,
if she had a fat tummy!
That man is not old: probably
no more than 40, but the way he
stoops, with shoulders rounded
and head lowered and stuck for
ward. and halting gait, he could
be 80! What a difference 1t
makes when one walks like a god
Or goddess, at any age!
Why do women waddle? Why
don't they reach forward with
their steps rather than waddle
from side to side? How many
persons must be weary and frus-
trated! What drawn and harried
and hurried expressions appear on
many faces I see passing by!
1t seems too bad! This is one
of those rare days towhich the
tropics sometimes treat one! 1t
is warm but not hot, and I can
smell the sea so miles away. 1t
is a day for laughter, for long
dreams. for music. but few people
seem to know it!
On a busy street you glimpse
the great panorama Of life, with
its struggle and its Illustrations,

its WEAKNESS and it's hope, passing
by! Even when a day such as this
is provided by the gods, the hectic
ness goes on, and it Is reflected in

They have somehow lost the big

1t was still too early to tell
whether the landing was just a

The report was brought to For

The crew said it was notified of
the landings by the control tower

Hawaii Statehood

Voted for Alaska; Action
Of Senate Uncertain
By the Assoeiofed Press

The House passed bill today
to make Hawaii a State. The vote
was 201 to ITO.
Last Friday, the House ap-
proved the Alaska Statehood Bill
by vote of 1876 to 146.
Senate action on the two meas
ures is uncertain. Two years ago
the Senate Interior Committee al
lowed a House-passed Hawaiian
Statehood Bill to die without ac-
ton. The Alaska bill has never
before been considered in the
Senate.
Only a few House members op-
posed Hawaiian Statehood during
debate.
Representative Cox, Democrat
of Georgia asserted that the island
territory is Communist controlled
and dominated by Harry Bridges
president of the CIO international
Longshoremen's Union.
Representative Cooley, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina challenged
arguments that Statehood would
strengthen. the Nations defenses
in Hawaii.
House action followed pleas by
Delegate harrington. Republican
of Hawaii and nearly a score OF
House members to give the people
of Hawaii the rights of full citizen
ship they have sought for mary
years.

of the Alaska Statehood bill joined

Sanders S Air Shots
Didn't Kill Patient,
Patho|ogist Testifies
Says Amount Was Not Big
Enough; Doctors wife
Describes His Work
By the Associoied Press

MANCHESTER, N. H, Mar. T.
A Harvard pathologist appearing
for DR.. Hermann N. Sander testi-
fed today that injection of 40
cubic centimeters of air could not
have killed Mrs. Abbie Borroto.
The 41-year-old DR.. Sander is
on trial for murder on charges
that he killed the 59-year-old
cancer stricken woman by inject
ing that amount of air into her
veins last December 4.
Dr.. Richard Ford, head of the
department of legal medicine at
Harvard. testified that between
200 and 300 Cos of air delivered
within Is seconds would be re-
quired to kill a human being.
DR.. Ford said he was basing this
estimate of findings that eight
cubic centimeters per two and
one-fifth pounds of body weight
were required to kill dog.
Helped Perform Autopsy.
DR.. Ford was one of the three
pathologists who performed an
autopsy on Mrs. Borroto's body
The other two, DR.. Milton Hell
perm, New York City deputy med
ical examiner and DR.. Ralph Mil
ler, New Hampshire pathologist,
have testified for the State that
Mrs. Borroto died from air en-
bolism caused by the injections.
DR.. Ford said animal expert
ments tend to prove that a call
culated amount of 200 to 300 CCs
is probably the essential amount
delivered needed to kill human
being"
The fact that a human beings
heart action was poor at the time,
he said, would not make any diff
ference.
"A fatal dose of air is an all or
none phenomena" Said the de-
fense pathologist, explaining its
reaction would be the same re-
gardlass of the condition of the
heart.
40 Cos Not Enough.
Forty Cos of air is not enough
to block any appreciable part OF
the arterial system leading to the
human lung" said DR.. Ford.
The defense has argued that
only between Is and % CCs of all
were injected into the cancer
wasted woman-and that she wa.
already dead at the time
Opening the morning session o1
the 18th day of the trial, DR.
Sanders wife Alice took the wit
ness stand. The 37-year-olc
mother of three daughters wore q
snug, brown felt hat and grayish-
brown tailored suit.
