APPRECIATION Jhan and June Robbins
point out, on Page IL, that parents rather than
their offspring usually cause schoolteacher's
most severe headaches. Even so, we think the
modern small fry is still capable of doing his
share of damage to teachers ego and poise.
For instance: When a noted entomologst
delivered lecture on rat infestation to sixth
grade Glass; the youngsters were obviously
fascinated. One even wrote the lecturer a
note of thanks. 1t ended, I'VE didn't even
know what rat looked like until you came"
STRAyCHTENED OUT? Since we're on the
subject of small fry we'd like to report on a
problem encountered by one of our staff men,
bers recently.
This summer he received good many let
tiers from his daughter at camp, all ending
with "Good-by know"
He finally wrote and told her how to spell
now" In her next letter she replied: Thanks
for telling me how to spell now I'll now
better from know on"
HAVING FUN? You may think it's bad
taste to ask such question these grave days
- but scientists don't. If you're not having
enough fun they say, your work may suffer-
your value to your community and your
nation may decrease, and your life span may
be shortened. Fun, it turns out, is just as
important to mental and physical health as
getting enough sleep or eating the proper food.
What gives the most fun to most people?
Which sex has more fun and why? How does
one go about having more fun? These and
many other questions are answered in next
weeks issue in an important article by John
E. Gibson. - THE EDITORS

IN DEFENSE OF COLONEL BLIMP
by Arthur Bryant
author of "The Age of Elegance''

EDITORS NoTE. The character of Colonel Blimb
was first created in London's 'Epening Standard"
by Cartoonis Darid Low as the symbol Of everything
that teas stu6y and od.tashioned about England.
No,o here are wOrds in his defense by Historian
Arthur Bryant. They appeared recently tn "The
illustrated London News," and ne beliepe they
aciH be of interest on this side of the Atlantic. TOO.
THERE have been ugly and disquieting rumors
Il of the betrayal of trusts by men in authority;
there have been proved betrayals of secrets by
government employees in late years that have
endangered, perhaps fatally, the lives of millions
of Britons and, still worse, the enduring ideals
which our people, for all their faults and human
mistakes, represent.
These betrayals have occurred because those
who rule us and those who create public opinion
have increasingly chosen to assume that loyalty
and patriotism were unnecessary virtues, indeed
not virtues at all
They were merely symptoms, we have been
told of ludicrous and reactionary stupidity.
Evening star., 1951-09-16

The public servants who still believed in and
practiced such virtues were contemptuously
branded as Colonel Blimps. Yet Blimp. as we
are now beginning to see, was far better and
wiser man than the unstable and brittle intellec-
tuals who derided him, and far more faithful
and reliable servant to England.
The comfort and security we enjoy rests, as it
has always done, on the bones of dead Blimps -
Blimps who lacked the cleverness to see that
patriotism and loyalty we're humbug but, fortu-
nately for us, did not lack the fidelity and cour
age to die for us and their own outmoded faith.
And whatever weakness there is in our national
position in the world today = and there is much
- lies largely in the fact that we have discarded.
in favor of others less faithful our most faithful
servants and their outmoded virtues

in mind how important it is that
young people get the fullest edu-

many Of you as possible carry on
your education during the defense

that those whose education is in

should be encouraged and helped
to continue their education after
the service.
"If this country is to survive,
free and vigorous, we have got
to have trained scientists, doctors,
teachers, engineers, writer's and
artists, and many other specialists
in industry, agriculture and labor.
Above all, we have got to have a

House conference during which
Mr.. Truman reviewed the world
situation with his legislative
leaders.
Incidents Enumerated.
Today's colloquy was touched
off by a question as 10 whether
the President thinks "the world
crisis is Observation-Disclosures
ly in the Far East" The President
responded that he felt that the
crisis is just the same as it was
when he declared state of ma
tlonal emergency and it is equally
necessary to carry out the pro-
gram then outlined.
The questioning then turned on
Mr.. Rayburn'S statement and the
President finally was asked if he
thought that the danger of World
War III was the greatest nov
since World War II ended.
The President said that it was
as great as ever. Then he enumer-
ated such breaches of the peace
by Russia as the blockade of Ber-
lin which necessitated the air lift:
the threat to Turkey and Greece
which was headed off by American
Intervention, and finally the out
break in Korea, last June 25. But
the President continued, he was
still hopeful that another war
would be averted.
Speaker Rayburn's grim warn
ing was expected to intensity ad-
ministration arguments in House
debate for the urgency of en-
acting it's draft-expansion bill.
Connally Remarks Puzzling.
But the puzzlement of House
members was increased by the
contradictory statement of another
administration leader, Senator
Connally, Democrat, Of Texas, who
declared:
"In my view. there will be nc
world war this year. The Russians
will not defy the free nations o1
the world"
