in starting the bali rolling.
A Washington daily newspaper
observes that about forty million
Americans live today where no IL
cal full thine public health depart
ment exists, and it is estimated
that nearly a hundred million 9th
ers have only inadequately stated
departments available. The plain
fact is that in a great many areas
of our colntry there simply are no
such health services in, existence.
Even many cities which might be-
come bomb targets are lacking in
health facilities. It seems to us that
the United States Government
owes it to all he people to provide
health services-eVen more gener-
ously than they do in the tragic Job
of furnishing soldiers and sailors
to join the murder Killings out in

country is to persuade Western Europe to
do something more than talk about the Red
menace. The feeling is unquestionably wide
spread that we cannot do any more for Eu-
rope until and unless she demonstrates her
willingness to do for herself This was the
view which Herbert Hoover expressed in his
last speech. Various commentators, the brill
liant Walter Lippman among them, think
that this view is now predominant in the
minds of the American people.
The hope of stirring Europe into action
now rests, largely, on an individual General

mander of all the Atlantic Pact nations was
virtually inevitable. His prestige abroad is
undoubtedly greater than that of any living

Strated high qualities of craftsmanship, no
less than military virtues. He is driving and

Eisenhower can't do the job, no one can.
General Eisenhower has gone to Europe
with q command which, measured geOgraph-
ically, is the largest held by any single COM
mander in history. Yet, measured in terms
of divisions and air forces and fighting pow

paper. 1t is his appointed task to remedy that
situation-and to reconcile all the conflict

which have stood in the way of a remedy

with full truth that the eyes of the world,
East and West alike, will be upon him.

but before praying we make the decision for our
selves and ask God to that they are carried out!
It. however, is always sound to pray for wisdom
and courage. If we would have such prayer con-
stantly on our mind in a spirit of thankfulness for
such blessings as have-without asking for def
mite things-we all might be much better off.
WHAT PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
Although President Truman's reply did not sat
isfy Mr. Hebert yet the Presidents retort was very
sound. 1t looks if he were better Bible student
than Mr. Hebert as his reply was based on the Bible
promise that The prayers of the righteous availeth
much" This means that in order to have our prayers
answered, we must live a life that Jesus would
approve; with kindness, unselishness and integrity.
Jesus commanded that before we go to the altar to
make our sacrifices and ask for blessings we should
first go to those whom have wronged by act or
word and secure their forgiveness, making resttu-
ton if possible President Truman wisely hinted
that this applies to most political leaders and to a
large group of voters. We cannot expect an answer
to our prayers while playing politics or talking
unjustly about officials Furthermore, those who
have been too lazy Indifferent to VOTE have a
poor case when praying for better government. l.
therefore, am 1OO96 for President Truman in his
reply to this and similar requests
Although the above discussion has ended, it has

recognize. I have in mind how decisions of Presi-

PRICES AND INCOMES

It is only human nature for consumers
to look back on ''the good old days" when
the cost of living was far lower than it is
now, and when, for example, first-class
steaks sold for twenty-five cents pound or
some such attractive figure. But when we
mentally compare one era with another, it
is also human nature for us to forget GER
tain highly important facts which make all
the difference.
An interesting illustration of this is
found in a tabulatiOn, made up of official
figures issued by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, which shows how much the average
person spent for meat in every year from
1913 through 1S49, and what proportion of
his disposable income the cost of meat rep
resented. In 1918, the per capita meat bill
came to $23.1O, while In 1949 it was SOTO.
That's obviously a whale of a difference
but there was also whale of difference in
per capita income between those two far
spaced years. Actually, in 1913, meat took
more of the dispOSable income than it did
last year-6.6 per cent as against 5.5 per
cent.
Moreover, the percentage of dispOsable in
come accounted for by meat changed very
little over that 1913-1949 period. In most
of the years, it ran between five and six per
cent. And that's where it still is.
What this all adds up to is that the price
of anything is meaningless unless the pur-
chasing power Of the cOnsumer-in other
words, his incOme-is brought into the COM
parison. That's true of meat and all other
commodities. When everyone-including the
farmer, the worker, and the consumers
making more money, and the cost of carry
ing on business rises accordingly, prices are
naturally higher But Wen usually find that
our incomes will buy as much or more than
in former times.

HARD ROLLED EGGS

Uncle Sam has spent go million
dollars buying up surplus eggs and
the Government is reported to have
IS million pounds of deteriorated
stocks on hand.
Under the Brannan Plan there
has been a theory that if commodi-
ties are less expensive in the re-
tail stores, more would be consum-
ed. Senator Aiken of Vermont de-
fends the theory that if price sup
ports for a commodity are lower,
production will drop at least the
same ratio. So, the Aiken plan be-
came the law of the land.
This is a hard boiled" story

FOLLOW THESE TEN RULES TO
WIN LEGISLATIVE POINTS

The Delaware General Assembly is now
IN session. AS usual, citizens from e. cry sec
tlon Of the State are beginning to clammor
for all kinds Of legislation. Some will be good,
most viii be worthless. There are ten pre-
cepts for business men, and others interested
in legislation to be brought before the Cen
eral Assembly to follow in getting legislation
which they support through both branches
Of the Legislature They are simple, but very
important. Those interested should follow
them carefully. They are:
ONE-Don't let anybody gag you. Give
your story to the press. IF you are
honest in your statement, newspapers
will publish your story. They will not
It you are headline hunter or trou-
be-maker.
TWO-Don't think you gain by appeasing
petty bureaucrats. The big majority
OF the men hanging around the Legis-
lative Hall do not know what is going
on. Most of them are buffers.
THREE-Know your stuff and prepare
carefully. You'll get hearing if you
know what you want; provided, how
ever, that your legislation is worthy.
FOUR-Be as alert to express your ap-
probation tc your senator or repre-
sentative as your indignation.
FIVE-keep your legislature members
informed about your wanted legisla-
ClOn.
SIX-Know your Legislative Committees
not only the members but the men
who are likely to influence their think
ing. Most members do have advisors
who assist them in reaching decisions.
SEVEN-When giving testimony or ask
ing for consideration of your legisla-
ton, remember you are a DeIawarean
and an American citizen. Don't let
anyone push you around. You'll find
that the loud-Inouthed Legislators, as
a general rule, carry the least weight
In making the final decisions.
ElGHT-DOnt depend upon an unknown
lobbyist Take your story to the mem
bers yourself if necessary. They will
give you hearing.
NINE-H you must retain an admins
tration pal, check him first with estab-
lished contacts. He may be phoney.
Don't let anyone take you over. He
probably can't, or won't, do anything
for you anyway.
TEN-Take turtle along with you for
observation. He progresses only when
he>has his neck out, and his eyes open.
You'll need him while you are in the
Legislative Building.
