THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Bronnon Smith

Sometimes / think should be
an the professional Embarrassing
business-it seems that all | have
to write about lately is an zap
pear to all our subscribers to paw
their subscriptions up-or an ap-
peal for funds for worthy com
munity cause"
The March of Dimes drive has
just been concluded in Holmes
county - and today the annual
membership drive of the Red
Cross begins under the leadership
of w. r. Ellis, Jr.
We hope that all our readers
will make their response as gen
erous as possible this year to
the Red Cross. Our county quota
is very high $4,000 but we
will probably over-subscribe it
as we usually do.
! know a lot of citizens feel
they are called upon to give to
too many causes and this may
be so. But the majority of causes
we are called upon to support are
worthy and we should be glad
we are able to contribute.
However, do believe it would
be definite improvement if all
drives for charitable purposes
could be made into a single drive
and not permit the soliciting
OF funds for any other charity,
however worthy, unless it is a
community enterprise and includ-
ed in the annual budget to be
raised once year.
Thousands of dollars 90 out Of
Holmes county every year got
ten up by professional money
raisers from other parts of the
state. While most of these causes
are worthy there have been
cases Of persons soliciting money
for organizations who were not
accredited to do so.
When we give to the best of
our ability and conscience that
is all we can be expected to do
and ! believe we can safely coun.
on all our readers to help support
the Red Cross.

Pickens and Holmes county lost
one of its best loved citizens in
the passing of Mr.. ]. X. Tim
Thomas.
Mr. Thomas was one of the most
lovable characters it has ever
been my good fortune to know
and call friend. There are few
like him in the world.
He will be sorely missed in
the Presbyterian Church which he
served for thirty years as deacon
and treasurer and in the com
munity where he took part ir
every worthwhile activity.
Mr.. Tim was an ambassador o.
good will for Pickens which he
loved with all his heart - anc
Pickens certainly loved and appre.
ciated him.

We have just finished observ.
ing the week of world brother.
hood" and we couldn't help but
reflect on how little brotherhood
there actually is in the world.
Yet everywhere in the world
ell the little people want the
same thing peace, enough to
eat, free life for their families
which is pretty much the same
thing that the majority of Ameri-
can people want.
II the spirit of Christianity
could be carried throughout the
world there might be some hope
for achieving world brotherhood.
But we seem to have long way

Argentina Is Angling
For Atomic Accord
With Foreign Nation
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Dec. II. - DR.. Ronald Richter,
Austrian-born head of Argentina's
atomic research, said last night he
is negotiating a pact for exchang-
ing atomic energy information
and materials with a highly in
|dustrialized foreign country"
He said the time was not ripe to
identify the country with which
he Is dealing.
Dutch Scientist Takes Look.
Most foreign experts were skep-
tical when DR.. Richter announced
last March that he had discovered
new. cheaper ways to make atomic
energy by applying extremely high
Temperatures to cheap metals.
But two months later a leading
Dutch atomic scientist, DIR. c. j.
Baker, went to Argentina to
study his atomic claims under the
sponsorship of the Netherlands
government. In June, informed
diplomatic sources at the Hague
said official discussions were going
on between the Netherlands and
Argentina looking toward some
kind of agreement" for co-opera-
ton on atomic research.
Progress Called Rapid.
DR.. Richter told a news confer
|ence yesterday that Argentine
atomic work is advancing so
rapidly 1t will be able to make
convincing demonstrations of his
methods in another three months.
Argentina decided to look for an
industrialized partner. he said, be-
cause the country could not alb
sorb the huge amounts of indus
trial energy he expects to produce
by his methods.

AN EXAMPLE IN COOPERATION

The complete cooperation of the British Government
and the u S. Air Force in England is an example of
peaeetime Indignation before achieved by two first
rate military powers
In 1948, the first group of United States bombers
was sent to England for period of thirty days The
ed purpose OF that mission training which is still the
osensble for the considerable Air Force compile
ment in England That thirty days extended to nine
ty days. then extended indefinitely
U. S. Air Force groups were rotated in and ont of
England coming two al time. and today the
United States has complete Air Force, including fight
er wing and three bomber wings in England The ar
rangement between England and the United States
corning these forces unique No treaty ever
been concluded and has been signed The Amer
leans occupy British bases solely under the opera
tional control of the United States Air Force
The British Government attached condition to
their occupation and the r. A F. has turned six of
its best bases and two large depots the United States
Air Force. free of rent In addition everything existing
those bases when the Americans arrived was given to
our Air Force without charge.
In some cases installations even improved and
enlarged before being turned to the Americans If
new construction was required England and the United
States shared the approximately equally The u S.
force is ntegrated closely with British deenses and most
British officials welcome the presence of the IT, S. force
as deterrent against aggression,
Prime Minister Winston Churchill is repeatedly ask
ing that the British Government be consulted before the
United States orders T. Air forces action as such
move would probably bring retaliatory attacks on
the British homeland U. S. officials view this request
alphabetically and no difficulty is expected in working
out an agreement suitable to both sides on this point
Meanwhile, the example set by England and Ameri-
ca in military cooperation without written agreement is
historical example for the rest of the world which has
no precedent
