Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

We constantly read advice
about ''how to hold your man, "
"how to get your man." and
what men like in women"
Seldom are the tables turned
so that the little woman can air
her opinions about what she likes
in q man.
Not so long ago I invited both
men and women to write to me
about what each likes or dlslikes
in the opposite sex. This turned
into a kind of free for all, with
every one getting something of
of his or her chest. Any way, 1t
let off a lot of steam.
I read the other day that one
city has made a survey about
what secretaries don't like in their
bosses. It seems that they DO not
like them to appear old and de-
crepit, especially when this means
that they (the secretaries) have
to do all kinds Of chores like
opening or lowering windows.
Some Of the other complaints
which occurred most often were
messing with Office supplies, blow
ing smoke In their direction while
debating, reading over their
shoulder while they type and
keeping them late with last-min-
ute dictation which could have
been avoided.
I imagine all women dislike the
same type things because they all
highly appreciate polite and
thoughtful maners. This is prob
ably No. on the feminine list.
Both wives and secretaries resent
being taken for granted in the
small amenities of daily living.
thoughtful consideration IN
small ways is always heady stuff
for any woman. She forgives a
lot of big faults If she Is treated
to the luxury of awareness.
Women also dislike poor groom
ing in men. Many men are care
less in this matter. many VINO
demand meticulous grooming IN
their wives, secretaries or dates.
Women beWal lack OF CONVEX

sation at the dinner table and
during the evening. The wife
has often been at home all day
long and she longs for adult mas
culine companionship. The rattle
Of children and dishes is not
enough.
Secretaries and wives like
vigorous, successful-looking men.
It makes them feel more i'm
portant to work for, or to be
married to a man who appears
vital and energetic. That is why
they dislike poor grooming and
old-age mannerisms. They have
a stake in the man they are
married to or for whom they
work.
There you are, men! I have
given you the lowdown. Now
it's up to you!

SHOCK SOLUTION.

mrs. E. L. F., ArlinotonJ
I have found a very simple
solution of the shock created
by the friction of wool coats
on plastic seat covers. Simply
hold onto the metal door handle
and continue to hold with the
left hand until the key is in
serted in the lock with the
right hand. The fact of hold
ing with one hand makes a
ground, thereby eliminating the
static effect completely. This
works and prevents always the
dread of touching anything

CEMENT DUST.

mrs. J. H., Silper Spring.
Mrs. A. H. NJ, Alexandria:
Regarding cement dust condition
in her basement.
Our house is approximately
one year old and has the same
condition in the basement. We
needed play room and decided
to paint the basement floor. We
found that one coat of con-
crete paint, obtainable in any
paint or hardware store, would
settle the dust and make the
floor easier to keep clean.
In our case we painted one
corner with two coats of the
concrete paint. and two coats
of a hard-enamel-fin paint.
This marked off the area where
the children would play, and
smoothed out the rough spots,
also eliminated the dampness. I
hope this information will be of
some value to you.

Operating on a budget of $780,
1850, Bluffton college ended its last
fiscal year with meagre balance of
only s194.46, President L. L. Ram
seyer announced last week at meet
ing of the board of trustees of the
college.
It was the 18th consecutive year
of operation within the budget at the
college, trustees were told, although
the margin of year-end balances
normally have been far too close for
comfortable management, as evidenc-
ed by this years balance of one
twentieth of one per cent of the
budget total.
Gifts to the operating budget to-
tailed $41,S49.99 for the fiscal year
which ended August 81, the presi-
dent reported.
Major sources of the gifts were as
follows: Friendship Group, $11,-
095.75; individual contributors, &c.,
691.95; churches, $4,710.54; Ohio
Foundation of Independent Colleges,
s7,123.39; and $1,000 from the Mel
Ion Foundation.
DR.. Ramseyer stressed in his re-
port that even a small reduction in
any of the above mentioned cate
gories would have resulted in a bud
get deficiency for the year.
He also declared that it will be
necessary to raise in excess of $780,
900 this year in current fund gifts,
an increase of approximately 20 per
cent over the preceding fiscal year.
This is due to essential increases in

staff salaries and the fact that en-
rollment for the year is slightly be-
low that estimated when the budget
was prepared.
Reports to the trustees also showed
that gifts to the Founders Hall
building fund for last year totalled
S21 ,099.68. An Indebtedness of
slightly less than $4,000 is to be
paid off in regular installments, pay
ments of which are included in the
current fund budget needs
1t was pointed out, however, that
during the year there should be
building fund gifts of approximately
$4,000 to pay for things needed to
complete the building and to COM
plete payments to the contractor!

experience above enumerated. He lasted
four years in office; but being without
political experience and without the
knowledge of the arts and sciences of
politics, he failed to build for the future
politically, and, in 1882, the Republican
Party went upon the rocks.
Today there is another Sphinx. No
one knew until two or three months ago
that he had labeled himself as a Repub-
lican. He has had no experience, poll
tically, no affiliations with any party,
and yet there are some who are so naive
as to think it wise to pit political tyro
(though military geniuS) against
Democratic candidate who grew up in
the very atmosphere and wilds of Demo-
cratic politics, with all of its attendant
Vaccinations.
These naive people have taken leaf
out Of the New Deal propaganda and
their slogan is, Don't Nominate Senator
Taft, He Can't Be Elected" He has been
elected to every Office for which he ran,
crowned with an unprecedented senate
rial election majority of one-half million
votes in 1948. This is fundamentally
Democratic propaganda because the man
in the Nation the Democrats most dread
fully fear is Senator Robert A. Taft,
who is statesman from the grass roots
up and without peer in this Nation or
any other; great lawyer, seer, who has
served all the apprenticeships, is pre-
pared to take on any willy politician the

Compromise on UNIT

compromise on UNI
Protests that military training will
curtail the freedom of young men seem
use many individuals. both young and
old, men and women, are making of
this freedom today. There seems to be
an increasing difficulty in distinguishing
between liberty and license. and many
seem to adopt the cynical philosophy
that anything is all right in this world
If you can get away with it." Perhaps
that is in the mind of some of those
who oppose any form of discipline. Un-
fortunately, some Of our young men in
uniform need that discipline the more
whine they go on liberty" so of course
we need something which will build a
little character along with the discipline.
We have today. in many Of our high
schools, military cadet system Cadets
are given preliminary military training,
but they do not get field training. Our
Army supports this training. Cadets
as a rule are quite bit younger than
the proposed UNIT trainees would be.
Nevertheless, with the incentive and the
background, many of these cadets later
make flne OFFICERS. So what would be
wrong with q combination of the two
forms >of training; high school cadets
and UNIT? Let the cadet training serve
for the book training. and then give the
young men field training when they
leave high school at eighteen.

The Berry Resolution

It is difficult to see what good has been
accomplished, or what useful purpose served,
by the House majority in adopting the resolu-
tion calling for full and complete information"
on the conversations held here last month by
President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill.
Introduced by Republican Representative
Berry of South Dakota, the resolution declares
that Secretary of State Acheson is directed" to
transmit to the House a detailed account of
"any agreements commitments or understand
ings'-particularly ones that might require" the
sending of additional American armed forces
abroad-that may have been entered into" by
Mr.. Truman and Mr. Churchill. On it's face,
that may seem reasonable enough especially
because Congress certainly has cause to be
watchful of anything impinging on its power to
declare war. But closer inspection-con-
sidering past assurances and the fact that
confidential diplomacy can hardly be carried out
in a goldfish bowl or on a Nationwide television
hookup-the action taken in this instance looks
less than sound or realistic.
After all prior to the resolutions surprise
adoption-a surprise that might have been
averted if the majority leadership of the House
had had some advance warning-Mr. Acheson
and others in the State Department had given
the Foreign Affairs Committee lengthy f1ll-in
on the Truman Churchill talks. According to
and detailed as anybody could have reasonably
wished. More than that-and the point has been
restated by the President since passage of the
resolution-it made clear that the talks them
selves did not result in any secret deals involv
ing such matters as how, where, when, why or
in what numbers more American troops might
be sent overseas.
In these circumstances, it is not surprising
that the Foreign Affairs Committee, assured
in it's own mind and making due allowance
for the fact that diplomatic conversations are
not things to be shouted from the rooftops for
all to hear, overwhelmingly rejected the Berry
resolution. The rejection was bipartisan. In
deed according to statement that has not been
challenged, only three of the committees IL
Republican members declined to disapprove the
measure Yet with but one exception, the House
Republicans, with the support of 20 Democrats,
lined up solidly behind it to bring about it's
adoption by vote of 189 to 143 Presumably,
this was done to demonstrate a lack of conf
dence in the administrations reassuring words
and its ability to keep itself from being hood
winked by perfdious Albion.
Beyond that, however, and beyond whatever
partisan political value it may have In hot
election year, the Berry resolution does not seem
to add up to great deal of sense. Thus, for
one thing, although spokesman has indicated
that Mr.. Acheson will comply with 1t as much

George Washington in 1852

Americans do credit to themselves when they
celebrate the birthday anniversary of George
Washington. Especially now, in time when
our country and the fellowship of free nations
to which we belong are threatened by dangers
from within as well as from without, we are
well advised to remember the example he set.
His character and conduct, as Lord John Russell
declared, made possible the success of the revo-
luton which gave us our charters Of responsible
freedom, our independence, our federal union
of States.
This view was reflected by Edward Everett
in the statement: "The character the counsels
and example Of our Washington :. s. will guide
us through the doubts and difficulties that beset
us; they will guide our children and our chill
drens children in the paths of prosperity and
peace" It also was echoed by Daniel Webster,
when he affirmed that the name of Washington
was, "a power to rally nation in the hour of
thick -thronging public disasters and calamities"
Likewise it was repeated by Abraham Lincoln
in the acknowledgment: washington is the
mightiest name on earth-long since mightiest
in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in
moral reformation"
What the Father Of the American republic
inspired and symbolized was much more than
political or social upheaval. Washington was
the sponsor of a new concept of corporate life.
In his own existenc. he set up new standard
Of human leadership. He was the very soul Of
the new nation, conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all men are created
equal" Under his guidance, government Of the
people, by the people, for the people" was made
real upon this earth.
That concept, that dedication, that benign
reality 1ourished in the earlier period of our
national history in exactly the ratio of popular
appreciation and emulation of Washington and
his ideals. Our country was well governed when
his successors strove to follow the pattern he
had set We, the people, were best motivated
when we lived and strove to help others to live
according to the principles which he had
served-the principles of mutuality and faith
fulness, loyalty and devotion to the common
good
In 1852 we still need Washingtons example
to help us "n the hour of thick k-thronging public
disasters and calamities." If today's celebration
is to signify anything worth while, it must be
because it affords particular opportunity for
rededication to his doctrine of seldess service.
