Be Done With 1t

There is something approaching cruel and
unusual punishment to the superintendent of
schools in the action by the president of the
Board of Education yesterday in cancelng a
meeting Of the board which had been called to
decide the superintendents fate. The weather
was given as an excuse. But there was no reason
to call off the meeting
DR.. Corning already has been subjected to
humiliating harassment in the process of being
"evaluated" by committee of the board whose
chairman is plainly antagonistic to him. In
common decency, the board should have held
its scheduled meeting and taken the pubic vote
which will decide whethes the superintendent
is to be reappointed for another three-year term
or whether he is to be turned out of his job.
The delay is characteristic of the pompous
ineptitude the meandering indecisions and petit
ness which under existing leadership have come
to be associated with the conduct of serious busi-
ness awaiting action by the board But further
delay in this matter is not merely inexcusable
it is disgraceful.

Mr.. Pixies Contribution

Sumner Pike, the Maine Republican who
has just resigned as the last remaining member
of the original five-man Atomic Energy Com
mission, well deserves the warm words of praise
that the President has addressed to him. His
service in the AEC-an agency of the most vital
Importance not only to our own country but to
the entire free world-has been genuinely de-
voted and distinguished, and his departure, as
Mr.. Truman has said, will be sorely felt because
people of his caliber are not easily replaced.
Like the other original members of the Acc,
in what used to be, only few short years ago,
a strange new world. The pioneering began back
in November, 1885, when the f1ve-man commits
sion was named to set up civilian control of the
atomic project which up to that time had been
the responsibility of the military. The COM
missions job was to take over giant enterprise
that had been hastily built for war purposes
and to see to it that that enterprise went forward
in way that would effectively exploit all the
atoms peacetime potentialties while simultane-
ously bulwarking the Nations security by main
tanning our American lead in the field of nuclear
ornaments
In the years that have since passed, events
have shown that the commission has done its
work exceedingly well. The world of the atom
Is still largely unexplored, of course but great
new trails have been blazed, and great new
discoveries made, under the direction of the
Aces pioneers. Wholly apart from military
accomplishments, tremendous progress has been
achieved in the development Of A-weapons. The

Hiroshima and NagasaN destroyers have long
since been replaced by far deadlier destroyers Of
both strategical and tactical kind, and there
is reason to believe that things like the hydrogen
bomb are not nearly so theoretical as they once
were. Beyond that, we are moving rapidly
toward such wonders as the atomic submarine
MIR. Pike-who served for awhile as the
Aces acting chairman after David Lilienthal's
resignation-has played an important role in
promoting all this progress. What is surprising
is that last year number of Republicans sought
to block his reappointment to a four-year term.
Now that he has resigned to take things easy,
1t is good to recall that the Senate backed him
up with handsome majority. Today, as then,
his record as an atomic commissioner to
mention his earlier Federal service and his out
standing success in private enterprises all
the evidence that is needed to confirm the
excellence Of his contribution to the Nation.

lives through the whole history Of the
race. and that at one period In his
career he may be somewhat savage.
Others little ones never seem to show
a trace of this. They are uniformly
careful with kittens and puppies, never
throw stones at birds or like to kill
anything
There is great gap between the boy
who genuinely likes to tear the wings
off flies 1--WE actually knew such boy)
and the lad who may now and then do
something cruel.
Throwing stones at certain time is
part Of the race heritage. What more
likely target, then, than q bird or q
black cat?
When grown, this same boy may be
man who never hurts even fly, but
simply brushes 1t away. Who makes no
parade of kindness, but is kind.
Life has a way of upsetting most Of
our predictions, but no doubt it may be
said that by taking care of animals,
even to excess, no one ever was harmed.
The magic wonderland of living things
is so near and dear to some that no one
should in any way be upset by it, al
though at times it may be necessary to
thwart it just a little.
Finding an alligator in ones bed, as
friend Of ours did. is not conducive to
good sleep, but in the end 1t may turn
into hearty laugh.
One need not have any fear Of boy
who likes animals and takes care Of
them. Nor any fear for him.

Reclamation in Utuh Opposed

Despite glowing pictures painted by
reclamation enthusiasts of the manifold
benefits deriving from this or that

1t is fact that our flood factory"

We, as individual taxpayers, will have

Area Action in Snow Emergencies

The Commissioners plan for reactiyating
and enlarging an emergency traffc-control CO.
ordinating committee is fine as far as it goes,
but it should 60 further. The plan should pro-
vide for coordination not only of District police
highway, public utility and other traffic-control
agencies, but for a working arrangement be-
tween District authorities and those in nearby
areas. There was no evidence of interjurisdic-
tional teamwork during the two snowstorm
emergencies just passed, and the results were
chaotic for everybody.
A review of circumstances attending last
Fridays transportation paralysis leads to the
conclusion that at least some of the troubles in
Washington grew out of tagging emergency &C
ton by police and highway authorities on the
other side Of the Potomac bridges and Of the
District line. For example, the complete tie-up
along Pennsylvania avenue K street and M
street, west OF the White House, apparently be-
gan across the Key Bridge, on the Lee highway
end Wilson boulevard approaches. As traffic
backed up, the creeping paralysis soon spread
across the bridge and thence eastward along M
street, Pennsylvania avenue, K street and inter-
secting streets. Washington Circle soon became
jammed from all directions and before long
traffic was at a standStill as far as the down.
town business section.
The difficulties over in Virginia centered
cnleIy on TWO nils confronting traffic leaving
the RoSslyn area. One is the long incline on
Lee highway in the Park Lane area the other
Is the steep grade on Wilson boulevard at Fort
Myer Heights. Granted that there was little
advance notice Of the Friday storm, there still
would have been time for emergency police and
highway forces to get on the job in more effec-
tive ways. No police were observed, early in
the storm, directing traffic away from danger
spots Instead, automobiles, unaware of what
lay ahead, were allowed to start along routes
already clogged with skidding cars, further add
ing to the congestion and confusion. When
sand trucks finally arrived they could not get
onto the hills. Similar conditions prevailed
across Memorial Bridge, on Lee boulevard.
Washington's traffic troubles are bad enough
without having them aggravated by those of
neighborng communities especially when more
aggressive and more intelligent traffc-control
measures across the boundaries might avert
repercussionS inside the District. A conference
between District officials on the one hand and
suburban officials on the other might help to-
ward mutual understanding of Metropolitan
Area problems and to cooperative efforts to
solve them in winter emergencies. And the
Weather Bureaus f1ve-day forecast for the pre-
Christmas week end indicates that other emer-
gencies are impending. The time for preparatory
action is right now.

A LII know the thrill Of kiss stolen
n under the mistletoe, but how many
know that unless the man plucks one of
the white berries from the spray and
gives it to the lady of his heart. the kiss
will have no magic? After all the berries
have been picked and given away, 1t
loses its power and no more kisses may
be available.
In Britanny, the young girl must
swallow the berry, and then II she
secretly takes leaf, scratches the
initials Of her beloved on It and wears
least as long as she continues to wear
the leaf. It is also said that If maid
receives no kisses under the mistletoe,
she will not be wed that year.
We owe all these romantic ideas about
this semiparasitic plant to Frigga, the
Scandinavian counterpart Of Venus, the
goddess Of love and beauty, and to her
son Balder. the counterpart Of Apollo.
Mythology has it that Frigga had made
her son invulnerable to anything which
might cause him harm, but overlooked
mistletoe. Loki, the god of evil, knew
of this oversight and had a dart FASH
ioned from the wood of the vine He
persuaded the blind god Holder to send
the shaft into the heart of the unsus-
pecting Balder Balder fell to earth and
it took the concerted efforts of all the
gods to bring him to life again. Frigga
was so grateful when her son was
restored to her that she said that the
mistletoe must never again be used to
cause mischief or harm but that any
one who goes beneath the wondrous
plant shall receive kiss from her. A
kiss blessed by the goddess of love and
beauty is kiss indeed.

The Story Behind the Mist|etoe Custom

It was taken home and was hung over
the doorway to ward off evil spirits, to
cure or prevent ills and to bring a
blessing for all within.
Since this ceremony Of the cutting of
the plant took place about the middle
OF November and it was looked upon
with such reverence as harbinger Of
good, it is easily understood how its
use was carried over to the Christian
Christmas Because Of its pagan be-
ginnings, the early church looked with
diSfavor to its being used for decoration
for Christmas service but sanctioned
its Use in the home.
The medicinal properties Of the berry
were considered exceptional. They
were crushd and the oil used to cure
fevers and as general tonic. Many
person wore necklace or ring made Of
mistletoe wood to ward off sickness or
the evils Of witchcraft. It was supposed
to give strength to those who fought,
and yet its power Of peace and love
was SO great that those who came to-
gether as enemies under tree bearing
mistletoe might lay down their arms in
truce. This truce might last until the
next day or forever. and may have led
to the using Of the branches over the
doorway to signify peace and love dwelt
for all who passed the portal.
Mistletoe used as q motif for the
decoration Of jewelry, implements,
clothing and other articles was common
and was supposed to be a good-luck
talisman. The swords of Scandinavian
warriors were often named Mistelsteinn
as hope Of great strength and good
fortune for those who welded them.
When the festive season is at an
end. the story goes, the evergreen with
It's waxen berries must not be thrown out
or destroyed. It must be carefully wrapped
and preserved until the next cutting to
preserve for the household the powers
and mystical spells which it brought.
