Republican Leader
Attacks Drafting
18-Year-Olds

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
Last week Mrs. Thelia d. Tho
mas, well known Republican wo-
man, told the preparedness sub
committee of the Armed Services
committee she was bitterly
against the drafting of l8-year-
old boys for military service.
Declaring that she was not
speaking from as a politician but
as an alarmed mother, Mrs.
Thomas criticized the stand of
Gen. George Marshall and Mrs.
Ann Rosenberg of the Department
of Defense, who appeared recent
ly before the same committee
calling for legislation to draft 18-
year-old boys into the service for
a period of six or seven years.
"a new profession of glorified
panhandlers has grown up in
Washington during the last 10
years known as government ex-
perts," declared Mrs. Thomas.
Many of these ladies and gentle
men through publicity (much
of it manufactured by p / d
agents) are now being recognized
as mental giants. God forgive
that our boys must face the pos
sibility of death, the horror OF
four-way amputation and many
other atrocities they must suffer
- with this kind of experts and
waStreIs ag advisers.
1.-The average mother is not in
terested in protocol, commit
ments of honor motive govern
ment' and all the other high
sounding phrases and words used
by these super intellects," she
emphasized. I'VE are at war! We
want to get out of this web in
which we find our selves, with as
few heartaches and sacrifices as
possible. We want as much pro-
lection for our boys as the hu-
man brain can conyeive."

They killed five times more

CHILD PROBLEM

From Mrs. L. B.. WnsI1ington.)
For Mrs. c. A. T., Washington: /:
I have had precisely the same
problem with my 21a-year-old
boy. who had positive mania for
playing with electric cords and
outlets. Commands. threats and
even an occasional shock failed to
discourage him. But recently. quite
by accident, found what appears
to be an adequate substitute. A
rubber suction cup on the end Of
Ia string, to simulate an electric
cord. Since the child was so
interested In electrical appliances,
particularly vacuum cleaners, q
member Of the family gave him q
toy vacuum with the make -believe
electric plug.
It didn't take long to discover
that the plug and cord were the
major attraction, and that he was
no longer tempted to play with
the real electrical wiring In the
house. He Is perfectly happy
plugging In" his vacuum cleaner
along the Dashboard or the wall,
and I imagine that the same kind
|of make-believe cord and plug set
could be attached satisfactorily to
many other playthings, depending
on what your child is most inter-
eSted in.

For Mrs. B. W., Washington, re-
garding your inquiry in The Star
for first hand information about
Albuquerque, N. Mex. ! have
lived there for two years and will
give you a brief sketch Of how
things are. We moved there be-
cause my little grandson had
asthma; he was very Ill with 1t.
Now he is well and the picture of
health. The climate Is perfect Il
think. Warm sunny days and
cool nights. Never a hot night.
It stays mild about 10 months Of
the year. In January and Febru-
ary sometimes we have a few cold
days and the nights are cold in
winter but even in January and
February we have lots Of warm
sunny days. We may have q snow
tonight and by tomorrow noon
it's all gone. but that's very sell
dom. We spend most of our time
outdoors. Children dress In sweat
shirts, blue jeans (even for school
in winter, shorts, cotton dresses,
lightweight coats and suits.
Clothes and food are about the
same price as in the East. Meat
Is little cheaper and better.
Some package and canned foods
are little higher. Fresh fruits
and vegetables are plentiful and
good. We have two seasons.
Houses are more reasonable to
buy, 2 bedrooms run from $1,000
to $4,000 but the $4,000 houses
there equal the $4,000 here.
The lots are all very large, too.
Our lot is 67x137 and that's
average. You can rent 2-bed-
room house for from $75 to 500 a
month. We have the beautiful
Sandia Mountains for camping,
etc.-they are very near and we
drive about 10 miles to the Jemez
Mountains for trout fishing, pic
mic, camping. etc.
Our school ranks third in the
Nation and the people are won-
derful.
We have lots Of wind and some
times the sand will blow for a few
hours, but that it very seldom and
otherwise the place is about per-
feet, so the sand is soon forgotten.
We have one channel for TV
and get some or most of the best
shows. Good luck to you and hope
you will love it as we do. I'm
visiting here now but will be glad
to get. back to the beautiful sky
and mountains of New Mexico.
