There is distressing evidence
that today's youth is more inter-
ested in security than in assuming
leadership.
A poll of 1890 high-school stu
dents in eight cities indicates that
while they believe in individual
freedoms, and in the American
profit and loss system, most of
them would be content the rest
of their lives with jobs of mod
crate income, little responsibility,
and much security.
In response to this question:

Probers Seek 10
Stop Gamblers
Using The Mails

WESTINGHOUSE Senate
Crime investigators intend to ask
Congress to prohibit gamblers
from using the mails or other in
terstate communications to make
or pay off debts.
This is one of the major blows
they have in mind for striking
at the big-time crime syndicates
which feed on a gambling take
running into billions of dollars
annually.
Coupled with this proposal will
be a recommendation, still to be
polished into final shape, designed
to prevent the interstate trans
mission of information for gamb-
ling purposes about horse races,
basketball games and other
events.
A committee member said q
prime objective will be to drive
out of business Continental Press,
which operates nationwide race
wire service. The policing job.
under the committees plan, will
be given to the Federal Com
mission.
Another measure would ban
the interstate shipment of punch
boards and roulette wheels. This
would be modelled along the lines
of bill enacted last fall prohibi-
ting shipments of slot machines
into states where they are illegal.
In addition, the committee has
made plain it will call for stiff
er penalties for dope peddlers,
stronger tax laws to snare ganb-
lers and racketeers, stricter
regulation of liquor permits and
frightened immigration and depor-
tation measures.

AFTER THE HEAVY WINTER our streets are In
pretty bad shape. Some of us liken our streets to
long, narrow dust bowl. Got wash Job the other
day and it lasted until "dew-drop time" How about
a street wash job, Messrs. Councilman?
WE'VE DREAMED UP A PROJECT for old
London town which believe can be achieved
easily and with little trouble or cost. If
carried out London could become a show place
and great deal of civic pride would come to the
fore. The idea is simply this LET'S ALL PLANT
A REDBUD TREE! Yes, let's plant redbud
tree in front of our dwellings, The redbud is one
of the finest trees found anywhere and it is native
to this climate Thousands of redbuds grow wild
in the country size and, surely, the effort in OBJ
tanning one is small and the cost is low Too the
redbud grows well in shaded areas and under
larger trees. There are already a number of red
buds growing and thriving in and around London
but to have a tree two in front of every home
would make a beautiful sight. You can buy red
buds for two or three dollars at a reputable
grower. 1t has been suggested that redbuds can
be bought in large lots for a very reasonable
price and if any of you are interested we would
be glad to hear from you In the event that enough
trees so that they may be planted right away.
Why not get together with the neighbors on your
street and organize a committee to look after
details? We that if the project is once
started the whole town will soon be interested in
it, redbud is tree that can be enjoyed from
the start since it blooms profusely even when
small Perhaps the Garden Club would be willing
to sponsor an Annual Redbud Festival !?

The Poor Mans Philosopher
On The Problem OF Dieting
BY Hal Boyle

NEW YORK Up The only
thing in America today more
boring than going on diet is :
to have to listen to someone else
who is on a diet.
The only difference between
having friend to go on an ex-
cursion or a diet is that you don't
have to watch him show colored
home movies of his diet. You
miss the film, but you get the
dialogue.
But i suppose it will be only
a matter of time until people do
start showing you beforehand
after movies of their diets -and
what happened along the way.
A diagram will flash on the
screen and your friends voice
will sound complacently through
the darkness:
Now watch closely. / am going
to eat a piece of radioactive sugar
and I want you to see what
it does to me-"
Well, he eats the cube of sugar.
1t gallops down his esophagus,
cf1urns around his stomach. And
then zing! - it races over
and puts a three-inch deep pad
of radioactive blubber around
his waistline.
Seer chortles your triumphant
host Now will you start drink
ing your coffee black like / do. 2"
No, 1 won't. / never will. /
like sugar and cream in my cof-
fee. And 1 don't want to look at
the innards of my friends on 16
millimeter film. When l eat a
cube of sugar anyawy it doesn't
turn into blubber. 1t just tastes
good.
For 25,000 years it took all the
courage, skill, and energy of
mankind to get most people all
the food they wanted to eat. But
in the United States for the last
25 years more and more people
have found it takes all their cour-
age to keep from eating all they
want. They should move to China
or India and get back to the
first problem.
The worst assumption of pro-
fessional dieters is that you ma
turally ought to do what they do
and that what is wrong with
them is also wrong with you. Take
a man with gallstones or a lady
with appendicitis. They have a
certain pride in their ailment be-
cause they have it and you prob
ably don't. 1t sets them apart.
But they don't insist that you
have an operation just because
they must. In fact, they'd rather
you wouldn't.
But dieters are different race
entirely. If they are overweight
and you are pleasingly plump :
well, if they decide to start count
ing their calories they'll hardly
rest unsal you do, too.
Why?
Certainly I'd do something
about it if I had a gladstone. But
! don't mind being pleasingly
plump pleasing to me, that is.
] have been rib-thin. I've been
overweight. / feel better and i
like more people better when !
have the extra weight. Lots of
normal men who don't beat their
wives or bite their children are
like that.
