wane, and only S1 ,286 of the S5,700 was in the Elks' kitty. Here is the letter sent out by Phil Hamburger, chairman of the MacArthur gift fund, Houston Lodge No. 15l, BPO Flks. NS-',,., @-aS NsiPasss a7s
 You doubtless are familiar with the fact that during General Mac Arthur's visit to Houston he re- ceived as a gift from the Elks and friends a black 7-passenger Cad- lilac Sedan.
 The purchase of this car at a cost of $5,70000 was undertaken by members of the Elks and friends and at the present time we have only raised s1,28600, and since we are in need of more funds the purpose of this letter is to afford you an opportunity to be listed as a contributor to the gift fund.
 The ownership certificate to the car will be forwarded to Gen eral Macarthur along with an ap- propriate scroll bearing the names of all contributors, and the list of names is being closed out when the amount of $5,70000 is re- ceived"
 Rye Speculating
 A little more information has leaked out regarding the huge speculation in rye, and the sudden reversal of the Agriculture De- partment's ban on Canadian rye. An offer of a million dollars was dangled before Ralph Trigg, for merly in charge of all rye pur- chases, if he would buy Canadian rye. Trigg said no. However, last spring, after Trigg got out, his policy was reversed and the U. s. government bought up large quantity of Canadian rye mixed with U. s. rye.
 It is now learned that two Sem ators pressured the Agriculture Department to bring about this change-young of North Dakota and Mccarthy Of Wisconsin, both Republicans. Minnesota's two Sen- ators Humphrey, Democrat, and Thye, Republican-sat in on one meeting regarding rye. However, they attended at the urging of Mccarthy and did nothing more than put in an appearance.
 Senator Young, who comes from a big rye producing state, wanted to han rye imports from Canada altogether Since Canadian rye was already mixed with American rye in northwest grain elevators, however, Young agreed that the government should buy this Can adian rye in order to reduce the surplus. By getting rid of the sur plus and by banning future rye shipments from Canada, Young hoped to create a better market for American rye farmers.
 It was Mccarthy, however, who constantly telephoned and heckled the Agriculture Department to reverse the ban on buying Cana dian rye. He not only called on Secretary of Agriculture Brannan, but was continually in the Agri- culture Departments hair until it knuckled under and began buy ing Canadian rye.
 McCarthy's intense interest Tn Canadian rye is a puzzle. Further more, the million dollars dangled before Ralph Trigg and the null timillion- dollar corner on the rye market, cooked up by the big spec ulators, also remains a mystery.
 Note-McCarthy has not specu- lated in the commodity market

BY James Egert Allen

New York (GlobaD - An inter-
esting observation is made by a
writer of an editorial in LIFE
magazine which appeared in the
Nov. 26 issue relative to the
thinking and acting of our youth
in today's world. Using the thou
sands of photographs. sent in as
the basis for his evaluation, the
writer has accepted the belief that
young people are not particularly
interested in individual competi-
ton to make their mark in So
ciety, but have imbibed the phil
osophy of John Dewey to such an
extent until the matter of personal
security has become the chief aim
in life. He further states that
young people are educated, primar-
lily, from sound and image rather
than from principles and ideas.
Admission is made of the fact
that our youth are freer from pre-
judice and are adapted better to-
wards group action in their be-
havior pattern, However, individual
initiative is lacking and the end
product of achievement is bound to
become mediocre. This raises the
question as to what are the pur-
poses and aims in education.
There may be some validity in the
belief that. the, sound and image
theory is affecting the thinking
of both youth and adults. The mo-
ton picture projects the images
daily to thousands. The television
machines do the same. Impacts
upon the thinking and acting Of
individuals are natural concomi-
tants. Coming in such mass forma-
ton without the opportunity to
analyze, judge and compare, So
ciety, young and old, become the
victims of mass pressure and con-
centration. Herded into prepared
channel, any person who attempts
to get out is branded as a maverick.
ANY dissenter is labeled as radi-
cal who possesses ulterior motives
dangerous to the welfare of the
majority. Customs, morals and ira
ditions are sacred things and must

Of scrutiny.
AS one who has studied under
John Dewey, 1 cannot place the
blame for lack of perspective and
initiative at his door. Rather, his
philosophy of experimentation af-
fords youth far greater oppor-
tunity to study principles and eX-
plore new ideas and to arriver,at
independent decisions. = Perhaps
this form of education has helped
the youth of America to rid them
selves of bigotry and prejudice to
a greater degree than ever before.

December is a good time to set
out the colorful floribunda roses
that bloom from early spring until
late fall in Arizona
If set out now, they will be in
full bloom next season, says Har-
vey F. Tate, horticulturist for the
Agricultural Extension Service at
the University of Arizona.
Floribunda roses are excellent
for Towering hedges, spots of color
in foundation paintings and for
ornamentals under bay windows.
Select a location for light colOred
varieties on the east side of build
ings or in partial shade because
pastel colors may fade in the hot
sun.
Plant the smaller growing flori-
bunda bushes 2 feet apart and the
larger bushes more than 3 feet
apart. Dig holes 2 to 2A feet
square and 2 feet deep for plant
ing. Put coarse barnyard manure
or rotted organic matter in the
bottom of the hole and then fill
in around the rose plant with good
top soil.
To get the most desirable land
scaping effect, use varieties that
grow to the height you want. Var
ieties that grow to a height of 2
TO feet are the Donald Prior, a
dark red rose; Pinnochio, a salmon
pink; Floradora, orange red; I'm
proved Lafayette, red, and the
Permanent Wave, with a deep
pink flower.
Floribunda roses that grow to a
height of to 214 feet include the
Goldilocks, yellow rose; the Else
Poulsen, pink; Glorious, deep pink;
Pink Bountiful, deep pink and
Summer Snow, white. The Dagmar
Speath variety is white rose
that grows from IL to '2K feet
tall. The larger floribunda roses
are the light pink Betty Prior and
the deep pink Crown of Jewels,
both reaching a height of 3 or 4
feet.
Hens in this country laid AZ
billion eggs in October, the most
on record for that month, and 4
per cent more than in October of
1850, according to the USDA's Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics.
Grapefruit is back in the stores
for your enjoyment, and here's a

do look like a policeman"
Middleton decided he didn't and
sold the officer a 35-cent numbers

him and ordered him held for an
