WILL VIRTUE BE IT'S OWN
REWARD!

Probably the greatest compliment
that has yet been paid General
Eisenhower in his new role of poll
tician is the remark now heard in
creasingly, that he and Senator Taft
are not very far apart. OF course,
it might be said with equal justice
that he and Senator Kefauver are
not very far apart. 1t all depends
on which side of his answer to a
question you wish to hear.
In his final pre-cOnventiOn speech
at Denver. Ike recited again his
unshakable faith in morality, this
time for the specific benefit of
American youth who are (Ameri-
ca's) future" We felt some better
when he added: Every individual
who looks forward instead of back
ward is young in spirit"
He mentioned the advantage of
being born poor (and in Kansas
his fathers reverses and his move
to Texas in order TO start over.
But he did not refer again to vote
"rustlers" in Texas. We are there
for wondering if he has found out
that Eisenhower hackers were the
ones who urged in newspaper ads
and a barrage of mail that Texas
Democrats vote in both the Repuo
lican and the Democratic primaries.
We do not think this would square
with his now well-knOwn opinions
on right and wrong.
AS for Ike's demand earlier last
week that the Republican Party
provide him with a foreign policy
plank that he can stand on, we hope
the Platform Committee has the OPP
pOrtunity of learning his views
Senator Alexander Wiley, of Wis
cOnsin, ranking Republican mem
ber of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, has demanded that his
party adopt the Truman foreign
policy for Europe. This speech may
have been made to help the General
develop a policy, or it may have
been made in fond recollection OF
the free honeymoon which the TTu-
man policy provided him last
month. Certainly he was not eX.
pecting, at this late date, to alter
Senator Taft's well-knOwn stand.
OF that great mass of Americans
who will tell you they believe il

President, but can't be elected, We
can only think that if they shoult

And, if you are inclined to laugh
this off as merely good, clean fun
for those who enjoy it, consider
that DR.. AchesOn, the very next
day, apOlOgized to about 200 mem
bers of Parliament because u. S.
fiiers bombed Yalu River power

ing British permission. To make
everything cOzy he explained it
was one of those Washington con-
fusiOns where both the State and
Defense departments thought the
other had conferred with our Brit
ish allies.
j From here on, however, no one
need worry. Britain is assigning
a deputy Chief of Staff to the KOr-
can high command, so we should
now be able TO get on with the war
properly. After all, if LabOrite
Emanuel Shinwell, former. Secre-
/ TAI y-Ol-SttiCS 4O4 Wal, was lSSpOll-
sible for MacArthur's custer, as he
claims, it is only cricket for Brit
ain to supply substitute.
The White House, however, has
been quick to deny the Shinwel
boast, insisting that no foreign gov.
ernment influenced the removal oi
General Macarthur. But, perhaps
when OxOnian AchesOn returns, he
can set the President right. Diplo.
macy is truly at its best among
men who speak the same language

In addition to the fact that prices
for food have been moving steadily

said, there is much evidence that
corner grocers particularly are low

DeaE Friends:
Air Force life is forever exciting.
Always, every week something new
is happening; meeting old friends
from Delaware or from other Air
Force Bases and travelling from
state to state; always lots of new
places and things to see.
Today in the mail l received a
letter from a former MacDin
friend of ours. Mrs. George Lake,
her navigator hubby, and their
two little girls, Sally and Susan,
lived right across from us on
Bridges Loop when we were in
Tampa. Strange as it may seem,
Marjorie and George are from
Preston, Maryland and her father
too, is a newspaper man, and owns
the paper in Preston. Last year
George was sent to Korea for G
months and Marjorie went home
In her letter today she reports
that they left this week for Hous-
ton, so soon we can pick up our
relationship where we left off.
Another interesting letter from
Mrs. Craig Robertson, nee Adele
Warren of Milford, mailed from
Highgrove, California, tells us to
look out for Capt. and Mrs. Donald
Speed and their two children who
will arrive here next week. Even
though we're 1000 miles from home
we can feel closer by all these
connections with Eastern Shore
people and their friends.

DO YOU EAT EVERYTHING

Most healthy children will just
naturally develop good eating habits
if they do not have too much inter-
ference. Adults need only to set the
stage so a child can enjoy his food.
Children like to eat!
Knowing the Importance of food.
parents are naturally concerned a
bout it. They have definite ideas
about what a child should eat how
much and when If these ideas do
not coincide with those of the child
forcing or bribing is frequently at
tempted This is a mistake that is
easy to make. You. however. can't
make person enjoy something. The
parents Job is not to make a child
eat but to let him eat.
The trouble may start when a
child does not want to finish his
milk or refuses something on his
plate Stop a minute and think of
yourself You probably have some
food dislikes and YOU may not want
all of certain foods served Won
Wouldn't mealtime be an ordeal If
someone stood over vou URGING vou
TO eat everything and scoldino if
you didn't?
Mothers are often afraid not eat
ing enough will cause Illness. This
rarely happens. Variations in appe-
tite are to be expected If a child
pushes away one kind of food. offer
it again some other time but don't
make an issue of his refusal
Give small servings and give some
freedom of choice. A child benefits
more from food which he accepts
willingly than from that forced on
him. This is not pampering but is
actually the best way to cultivate a
hearty appetite.
Small things may spoil a child's
appetite temporarily. He may be
excited or overtired Occasionally
not wanting to eat NAV be a first
sign of teething or a cold or an ill
ness. Watch him for other symp-
toms but do not urge him to eat
Help the child to help himself
