POEM OF THE
WEEK
HNMOR IN TRUTH

We've never seen since creation
In the land of civilization
Such an awful stimulation
Midst folks of conservation.
From a sinful situation
AT the altar conservation,
There we took an obligation,
Ir our own solemnization.
The awful conglomeration,
In the great congregation,
Doesn't look like meditation
When we note assimilation.
Looking for cooperation,
Seems it's gone on vacation =
When we see the separation
In the sacred congregation.
The fact of affiliation ~..~-. ..-..--.-
In the things of desecration,
Makes us in our declaration
Say impossible - discrimination.
If we teach about salvation,
We would be in elevation,
And would in our ealtation
Bring about unification.
O, the awful revelation
When we want edification,
Just to note in conversation
So much insinuation.
If we in our circulation
Stop so much false accusation,
We would in our exoneration
De much good in reformation.
Will we reach realization
See we're going to degradation,
And take under consideration
1t is caused by dissipation.
If the future generation
Take from us impersonation,
Good results from expectation
Will be few in calculation.
We hope the time will hasten
When this great delegation,
Will from pure deliberation
Choose the state of perfectation

Lewis Kanick.

They tend to think of human beings
as cases" their homes as units" and
their children as "siblings."
In this sort of way it is possible to
lose all touch with humanity. 1t is a
sort of communistic principle, put into
action without realization of the end
results. And those results are not Amer
ican, even if they are loudly called so.
Such retiring persons will laugh light
ly at the awful old face, quoted as say
ing, "A man should share the actions
and passions of his time at peril of
being judged not to have lived"
Says you!" might be the best answer.
Usually such persons are too busy
minding their own business to resent it
all. We will resent it for them
The good people who work and mind
their own business. who believe in doing
right. as they see it. and who hope
others will do the same
These are the people who made
America, and who keep it rich and
powerful
They must not let bunch of busy
bodies take it away from them.
To that extent. at least, even the
uuietest of them must share the action
and passion of their time. and maybe
that Is what the old fellow meant. after
all.

"A man should share the action and
passion of his time at peril OF being
Judged not to have lived"
So wrote a famous American. and
every reader can understand what he
meant.
But the truth is that countless happy,
earnest and useful persons have not SO
shared, and yet they have lived.
They have lived happily. earnestly
and usefully, to their own complete
satisfaction and those they loved.
In every age there are persons who
give up trying to share the passions
and actions" of their time.
They seldom make it public, OF course.
Perhaps they do not often realize,
themselves, just what it is they do.
They retire, in sense, from the
scrambling and let others do the shout
ing, the proclaiming, the 'speechifying"
and the directing.
In all this they at least are being true
to themselves, according to the light
that has been given them.
And seldom do they feel ashamed OF
themselves. either.
They would laugh at the famous mans
pronouncenent. 1t is, after all. a per-
sonal belief. good to utter. to think
about. and little untrue.

This and That

The American way is to leave such
matters to the individual.
In recent years we have seen the
swelling of a strange philosophy. at
least strange for our country, which says
rather 1t screams-that every one, but
every one, as the saying has it, must
take a part in public affairs, even to
the extent of making nuisances out Of
themselves by ringing doorbells and pro-
claiming. yes, demanding, that one must
do and act just as they, the proclaimers,
demand.
This, it may be kept in mind, is not
American, although that is (of course)
precisely what they call it.
The demand that every one share,
scream and demand
This is peculiarly un-American. for
not every one is fitted to do SO.
Utterly aside from politics, there are
always many persons whose gifts are
those for private affairs.
Public affairs need different sort Of
human being.
The studious, retiring person Is one
who diSlikes being dragged out to shout
in the limehght or the sunshine.
He wants to attend to his own affairs.
Often these affairs turn out to be the
best for all.
That Is where the 'do as / say boys
make one OF their biggest mistakes.

When Stain Smiles

Stopping off in Honolulu on his way to the
Far East Governor Dewey told reporter that
he gets concerned whenever Stain smiles "The
end of the Korean war;" he said "is simply
change of strategy by the Soviet Union. but not
change of their intentions. They intend to
conquer the world"
Maybe So Certainly the apparent willingness
of the Communists to discuss truce must be
examined carefully for BOBBY traps. And under
no circumstances should we let a settlement in
Korea hull us once again into that false sense
of security which has served before to divert us
from the stern business of maintaining our
defenses
But neither should we fall into the error OF
automatically constituting any conciliatory gesture
as signal that things are going from bad to
worse. If we are not going to fight the Russians
we shall have to come to some kind of settlement
with them And we are unlikely to reach any
settlement If we let ourselves get into state
of mind in which we automatically regard a
Soviet peace move as suspicious II not a
hostile act
If we are not to resolve our differences by
resort to war, then the time must come when
Stain or his heirs will put forward some proposal
upon which a tolerable settlement can be based.
We should be ready to explore, not to reject,
that pronosal OF course we should not fall for
phony offers and we should insist upon adequate
guarantees. But let us not get into that con-
dition where a smile from Stain gives us a worse
case of jitters than we already have.

It was her husbands 60th birthday.
Although the banquet was not given
for that reason, she and her husband

there but Stalin's chair was vacant.
That was in 1887. The quiet little
lady was Mrs. Lenore W. Smith, who
has Just completed % years service on
the District Board Of Education. Her
husband, DR.. Philip Sidney Smith, a
prominent Government geologist. died
several years ago.
That visit to Russia was her last big
trip. She and her husband travelled
across the whole of Russia in 10 weeks.
sailing from Vladivostok to Japan. The
purpose was to attend an international
meeting of geologists in Moscow DR..
Smith headed the American delega-
ton.
Now that she is through with extern
sive travelling and the Board Of Educa-
ton, with its tribulations. Mrs. Smith
has time to concentrate on other loves
her three grandchildren and the Board
of Public Library Trustees. She is vice
president of the library board and has
served on that body since 1882.
Her home, at 3249 Newark street
NV, is filled with mementoes of a
full life that began in the little town
of Wareham, Mass. Her father was a
physician and practiced in Boston
many years. She attended public
schools there and went to Boston Uni
versity for one year.
In 1897 she met girl in her teens
named Helen Keller. The girl was
deaf and mute and blind and she grew
up to be world famous.
Miss Keller is now II years old. She
and Mrs. Smith are still the best OF
friends Helen always has been a
very important part of my life" Mrs.
Smith said.
She was so fascinated with the young
girl that she practiced the hand alphabet
until she could talk by placing her fast
moving fingers in Helen's cupped palm.
She spent a summer with Miss Keller
and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, later
Mrs. John Macy. at Lake Pearl. between
Providence and Boston. helping Miss
Keller with her studies.
II went with Helen the day she first
stepped on the Radcliffe College
campus" she said. II was her eyes and
ears that day"
Many times after that, she accom-
panied Miss Keller to class when her
teacher was i'll or too busy.
When the time came for Miss Keller
to take her examinations, there had
been cries of fraud. that blind and
deaf girl couldn't possibly do all that
Helen was doing" Her teacher was
not allowed to 60 into the examination

Reserve the Right-of-Woy Now

Pleasant though the outlook may seem 10
be at this time, Federal and Virginia planning
authorities had better keep their fingers crossed
with respect to the latest estimate OF cost OF
land for extension of the George washington
Memorial Parkway Rough estimates made earlier
had placed the cost at from $500,000 to $60O,O0O
and the latter sum has been set aside for the
right-of-way by joint action of the Federal Gov
ernment the State of Virginia and Arlington
County Recent official appraisals of the land
in question, however, indicate the fair value OF
the entire strip from Spout Run to the Fairfax
County line at about $380,000. But some OF the
property owners may object to these appralSalS
If condemnation proceedings then are resorted
to- it is quite possible that higher prices for
parts of the right-of-way may be approved in
court. That has happened before In the end
most of the whole 100000 fund may be required
to buy the needed land.
Unless the land is acquired without further
delay, the rising cost of real estate in Arlington
may complicate the problem further. The area
through which the parkway will run is IN
section of the county where residential develop
ments are proceeding at rapid pace. When
the parkway first was planned the route lay
through virtually uninhabited territory. Delay
in purchasing right-of-way for the first two units
of the scenic road added considerably to the
land costs. The parkway now is completed from
Key Bridge to Lorcom lane The next two units
will carry the divided-lane pavement across the
Potomac palisades on the Virginia shore to
point near Chain Bridge.
Under the jont-purchase plan, the Federal
Government, through the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, has set aside $3OOOO0
for land acquisition, with the State and county
each putting up $15o0O0. All of this money is
available for immediate purchase of the right
of-way but no money as yet has been appro-
prated for actual construction of the parkway
The National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission had asked for such an appropriation
in the pending budget but the item was cut out
for economy reasons. The fact that no money
will be appropriated this year for construction
of the highway should have no bearing on plans
for buying the right-of-way. On the contrary,
If the needed land is to be acquired at price
anywhere near the latest estimates OF cost
negotiations should be started at once.
This is sound policy not only for Arlington
but for Fairfax County as WELL In Fairfax very
little has been done to prepare for ultimate
extension of the parkway to Great Falls. Mean
while subdivisions are being opened in the
general area of the proposed route, with land
prices consequently rising. If the long standing
plans for extending the parkway across Fairfax
County to Great Falls are ever to be realized
ther obstacles arise The longer action is post
poned the more difficult it will be to carry out
the original program.

Fairfax Takes An Overdue Step

Fairfax Countys adoption of building code
is a.reform that was long overdue This Virginia
county for years has had an unenviable distinc-
tion of being the only area around Washington
without system of controls on building con-
struction. Yet in recent years Fairfax has UNDER
gone remarkable residential and business de-
velopments that, as matter of public safety and
general welfare should have been subject to
requirements of building code of the type pre-
yailing in similar modern communities.
Refusal of the Fairfax Board of Supervisors
to grant any further delays in acting on code
is understandable. The code has been under
consideration for several years, during which it
has been revised to meet numerous criticisms
from builders, architects and Others A month
ago vote on approval of the code was postponed
at the request of various objectors who wanted
more time to study the document When the
code came up again for action, majority OF
the board declined to defer vote any longer.
The code, which goes into effect August l. is
patterned closely after the one which governs
home construction under the Federal Housing
Administration and Veterans Administration
programs The State fire code was the model for
the fire safety regulations. Other provisions are
in accord with construction standards prevailing
in many Jurisdictions. The committee which pre-
pared the regulations does not claim that it has
devised the perfect building code. It has pro-
posed certain amendments which need further
study There will be plenty of time to amend
the code if changes or additions are found to
be advisable. The important thing is to get
basic code on record now, so as to prevent con-
struction mistakes which will be hard to correct
later.

Gorgeous spiders of golden sparks

Rockets explode In showers OF glittering

Accompanied By the "Oh!" and "Aht"

The final cannonade OF bombs IS salts

No,o home across the trGmpled grass the

Aboue the dei1-chilled stiffness OF small

Serene and pale in summer night the

and read the questions to her friend.
She married young scientist, Philip
Sidney Smith, in 1900. For the next
few years he taught at Harvard Uni
versity and she continued her close ac-
quaintance with Miss Keller.
In 1906 the young couple came to
Washington to 60 house hunting. Her
husband took a job with the United
States Geological Survey in order to go
to Alaska on scientific mission.
1--WE looked at apartments and we
looked at houses, but there were few for
rent Mrs Smith recalled.
They finally found an apartment with
a kitchen that was extremely large
compared to the efficiency kitchens in
Washington apartment houses today.
DR.. Smith took one look at 1t and ex-
claimed:
How in the world will we ever get
barrel of -four in this small kitchen?"
That ended the apartment idea and
DR.. Smith went to Alaska, leaving his
wife with his family in Cape Cod. Later

The Third Who Doubted

The greater part of what the President had
to say last night was in the best tradition OF the
Fourth of July speech.
Mr. Truman was not overly critical of this
country or of its institutions. He reviewed with
pride our growth from struggling collection OF
colonies to the wealthiest Nation in the world
all within the span of less than two centuries.
He spoke appreciatively of our strong and
steadfast allies" He paid appropriate tribute to
the men who have died in Korea, and to the
accomplishments of all the men who have fought
there. With reference to the Russians, he said
that freedom can overcome tyranny in the twen-
tieth century as surely as it overcame the
tyrants of the eighteenth century"
There were times, however when the Presi-
dent spoke without benefit of rose -colored
glasses He conceded that we are going through
a period that will "test to the utmost our self
control, our patriotism and our faith in our in
stitutions." Although proclaiming his confidence
that we will succeed, he acknowledged that the
cause of self government will be lost if we fail
in such things as building up our armed forces,
in controlling initiation and in strengthening our
friends and allies. If we with all the things we
have in our favor do not succeed in these under
takings Mr.. Truman said, then no other free
government can survive, and "the whole great
experiment that began in 1776 will be over and
done with"
This recognition of at least the possibility
of failure is wholesome thing It is all right
for the President to express his confidence that
we will succeed. He has to do that. But success
is not by any means foregone conclusion.
We have developed in this country remark
able talent for patting ourselves on the back.
But as Mr.. Truman said, when the Declaration
of independence was proclaimed ITS years ago
such things as the rights of man to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness were sensational
proposals. Europe did not believe the new gov
ernment across the Atlantic would survive, and
in fact, fully third of our own people did not
believe it either"
BY what right have we grown SO confident
in this day? Does the mere fact that, since 1776
we have become the worlds wealthiest nation
disprove the doubts of that one-thrd of our
people of whom the President spoke? Perhaps
we should try to remember that ITS years is but
a fleeting moment in the course of time. AS the
lifetime of nations is measured many long years
lie ahead of u.s. and we can well afford to con-
template with some humility the tests that they
will impose.
In this country today there is precious little
evidence of that self discipline, that apprecia-
tion of obligations as well as rights, which
heretofore has been essential to national sur
vival 1t is easy to say that freedom will always
prevail as against tyranny. But that is not
necessarily true Many free societies are dead
and buried the victims of their own extrava-
ganees and we should not forget it. We have
come a long way since 177e and the third who
doubted are all but forgotten. But let us also
remember that we have long way to go.
