Warming to Visitors

An ad in The Stars lost and found
column asked return of wedding gown
and officers whites belonging to the
Darrell S. Chapmans.
This was noticed by q reporter and
in the June paper an article appeared
with story on the loss.
We read the article with special in
terest due to very recent and similar
experience we had. We hope that by
these two experiences others may be
warned.
My husband, Navy lieutenant, re-
Gently reported to Washington after nine
months in Korean waters.
That night we neglected to fully empty
our heavily packed car. Rarely does one
fully unpack when travelling; we only
locked it.
Next morning we found a smashed
window and 80 articles of clothing gone,
including all Of my husbands uniforms.
his civilian clothes. my summer and win
ter coats, fur neckpiece. dresses, etc.
The uniform loss was hard to bear
when the "report-in" day was drawing
so near.
We realize we are not the first, nor
the last, to suffer personal losses.
Perhaps we and the Chapmans will
never recover our lost articles, but maybe
we can assist others to avoid tragic per-
sonal losses in our Nations Capital.

motto on his desk, This, too, shall

Spires Of the Spirit
This, Too, Shall Pass

An Australian essayist has written q
book about great sentences which have
Influenced great men. He calls It "A
Bunch Of Everlastings." Each chapter
is devoted to the life story Of some
famous person and the particular sen
tence which is woven into the warp and
woof of his life, coloring its high hours
There was such sentence that
gripped the public and private life of
the late Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg,
acclaimed as one of the towering states
men of these dangerous and desperate
days. This sentence always was on his
desk during the strenuous years Of his
public service in Washington. Under the
terrific preSsures of his high Office and
his great place of leadership. the four
words Of this motto seemed always to be
signaling some message to his inner
self The truth mirrored in that quartet
of monosyllables had its part in making
that outstanding American, wrestling
with vast and controversial concerns,
free from petulance and irritation. The
desk motto, This, too. shall pass"
seemed constant bulwark against
assaults and invasions Of their untran-
gull world with its strained faces and
lost peace It was a constant reminder
that the days shouting headlines are
likely TO make noise out of all proper
ton to their Importance. At the
screaming vehemence Of the hour this
little sign on the desk seemed always
to have d sort of knowing. Mona Lisa
smile. as if conscious that the present
with an air of finality, often took itself
too seriously. The profound proverb is
plea for perspective and due sense
Of proportion.
Now. what is the ancestry Of this motto
on the Senator's desk? One tradition
tells that a certain Eastern king was
seeking for philosophy which would
sustain him in adversely and restrain
him in triumph. The courtiers and wise
men submitted their prescriptions But
none was found acceptable until the
princess presented her father with an
emerald ring, on which was inscribed
the equivalent of And this, too, shall
pass" When tempted to allow the pres
ent to dictate his mood and his action.
he held the ring before his eyes and in
its reminder found an antidote for de-
feat and despair
How much these words meant to

We Must Buy Bonds!
BY Bruce BoFton

A troubled reader writes: "Ten years
ago bought 10 E Bonds for $3.50. They
have just been redeemed for $1,000.
This seems like good bargain. But I
find that must pay tax on the $3.50
accrued interest. And I am told BY
those who are supposed to know that
the $1,000 Of today is equivalent to only
500 Of the dollars I invested. So, in
addition to the tax. have actually lost
$3.50 on the 10-year transaction. What
should say when the Government asks
me to buy more bonds?"
Say, yes!
bought my first United States Bonds
in World War I. when I was young
husband and father to whom 500
meant lot. saw them slide down
until, at the end Of the war. they were
worth only about $85. At that point I
borrowed money and bought more
bonds. And within a couple Of years I
sold enough of them to pay my debt, at
a hundred dollars or better. felt
then. and always SHALL that, no matter
what the current market may be, United
States Bonds are the one best invest
ment.
/ am buying bonds for my children
and my grandchildren. and have no
hesitation in urging the young people
in my business to buy them, even
though they may have to sign notes.
For by committing themselves to pay
they compel themselves to save. And
without such compulsion many world
not save.
The bonds and my income taxes are
the price Of my membership in the
greatest club in the world-the free,
bounteous, opportunity filled United
States of America. Through no virtue
or merit Of my own, happened to have
been born into this club. might have
been born Russian. For such good
luck no price is too high.
Let me add that this sense Of graft
tude does not in any way hamper my
political feeling or action. Abraham
Lincoln said: There is an important
sense in which the Government is dis
tinct from the administration. One is
perpetual, the other temporary and
changeable. A man may be loyal to his
Government and yet oppose the peculiar
principles and methods of the admin
istration."
I oppose the Truman administration
and hope to see it thrown out in 1852.
But I express my opposition by voice
and by vote. not by cheating on my in

States Bonds.
