REPORT OF ST. CROK COMMITTEE
ON MENTAL HYGIENE

the meeting promised to in
vestigate the possibility of
showing entertaining educa-
tional4ilms in the local movie
house at least once a week.
Finding substitute fathers
for fatherless boys may be the
most difficult of the Commit
tees tasks, It is indeed the
most challenging. The psyche
logist proposed asking each
boy examined by her because
of emotional or behavioral diff
fculties to name a man in the
community that he, the boy,
would like to have as a model
and friend. When the man is
named, II Will be the Commit
tees job to persuade the man
to be kind to the boy who has
chosen him. Rules governing
the Kindness which is actu-
ally a form of therapy, will be
explained. The first rule is
simple enough: LISTEN. The
others are negative: DO NOT
INSTRUCT, DO NOT DISCI-
PLINE, etc. WAR has been
declared on Delinquency: we
hope everyone will enlist to
help us win the war.

in many parts of the United
States. We can still help the
few youths who have gotten
off on the wrong foot.
Sources of the problem here
were seen to be inherent in
the modernization of the COM
munity-comic books with

their wild characters, and the
absence of productive work
for young men. The prime
need, however, may be that Of
finding substitute fathers for
boys who do not live with
their own fathers, or whose
fathers do not inspire them to
useful activities.A
The discussion of comic
books led to a compromise in
t h e groups evaluation OF
them: some comics are harm
full because unrealistic and
fantastic, some may introduce
good books to young people.
1t is likely that, as in every
other field, children get out of
comics what they need most
and this depends upon what
they take to the comics. Chill
dren who know good books
will e n oy the Robinson
Crusoe, David Copperfield and
other good stories reproduced
in the comics. Those who need
an outlet for their hostile
feelings will get a thrill out Of
aggressive omnipotence. It is
up to the adults, to so fill chill

PUBLIC OPINION AND JUSTICE
ON FRIDAY OF this week the much-pubEcized case of
Patrolman Leopold Citizens shooting Of Gabriel Jackson comes
before the District Court. From all indications this case will
be second only to the Beatty-Thompson case in sensational
ism. AS to everything else the two have nothing whatever in
common.
H FACTS OF the Citizens shooting is almost too well
known to bear repeating. An officer Of the law, while on duty,
approached the victim Gabriel, with the view to restoring
peace, and upon being threatened shot Gabriel investigations
followed and the shooting was declared to be j~ustifableI
homicide.
U THAT WAS just the beginning, as certain elements
seized the opportunity to make big news of it, and the case
now comes before the District Court.
IT SEEMS IMPORTANT at this time to appraise what
is taking place with reference to public opinion and the. ad-
ministration of justice. These islands, as part of the greatest
democracy, are free to give expressions to their thoughts and
opinions. We have every right to know what is going on and
how.
BUT HI LITTLE pockets Of interest use what is
normally a matter for the courts to serve their own ends, then
it is time to give the public the other side. 1t is almost un-.
fortunate that the first decision, or ruling made in the. case
did not stand. Those who hammered loudest, even though
they knew. fully well what the real story was, will no doubt
believe that they have found a way to guide the administra-
ton of Justice through the back door, and that is always
dangerous anywhere, and no less 50 in a democracy.
THE PUBLIC MUST learn to accept much Of what is
fed to it with grains Of salt, and to sit the wheat from the
ohaff.

What This Country Needs?

What this country needs is a return
to the days of the brass spittoon, the
true symbol of hard-headed, hard
thinking, hard-fsted Americanism.
When spittoons were taken away the
average American turned to cigarettes
and jabber. Nowadays every time two
or more people meet on the street. at
the Office, in the workshop, or elsewhere.
out come the cigarettes and the yak-yak
starts. People have forgotten the art of
listening and thinking. Back in the days
when hard-headed economic and social
policies were formed and which have
been the backbone of this country'S
progress, people were different. Instead
of the liberated conglomeration of
chain smokers yak-yakking at each
other. man was calm, reflective and
thoughtful. When man has medium
sized hunk of chewing tobacco in his
cheek he becomes relaxed and profound.
When two people met in the old days,
one talked while the other chewed and
listened; then both chewed while and
reflected; then the other spit and talked
a while. The result was thoughtful
and productive conversation. Andy
Jackson and Abe Lincoln did not emerge
as presidential candidates from smoke
filled rooms, but from rooms which
tinkled with the liquid chime of Oft
used cuspidors. So let's go back, before
it's too late, to the day of the brass
Spittoon. James Francis.

That AppIe-Pie Order

Asian editorialists are having trouble inter-
preting General Van Fleets reference to the
ROK Army as being "in apple-pie order" Quite
possibly the Communists fear a secret weapon
The phrase, as any American knows, means
that everything is in good shape-neat and tidy.
But nobody, AsianS or Americans, seems to be
quite sure how the phrase originated There are
several explanations offered in source books on
strange information
Perhaps the most common American expla-
nation is the simple one that it refers to the
geometric pattern in which apple slices are some
times placed in a good old American apple pie.
Certain other authorities, including the scholarly
English, attribute it all to a perversion of the
French phrase. cap-a-pie, most often applied to
a person who is perfectly and meticulously
dressed from head to foot. The late George
Simpson, who made a career of searching out
little known facts, cites both of these explana-
tions and adds third one that it may refer to
the alpha beta beginning of the orderly Greek
alphabet.
However it began. it means something good
today-and the ROKs should feel pleased as
Punch" to be. SO described. And pleased as
Punch" according to just plain and handy
dictionary, means thoroughly delighted or
gratihed."

New York City on Election Day in 1880,
bearing sign: BLACK eyes painted dur
ing the election" Contusions and lacer-
ations were common in the earlier 10Th
Century when voters in many States had
to announce their choice aloud at the
polling place, provide their own paper
ballots, and sometimes display ballots of
varied color to designate choice of can

political bosses fully informed.

station. there was Whitley and pals
perched on the roof.
No sooner had Jones arrived than the
pigeons began to stir.
They seemed to know him, but how?
That was the question that worried
our nature lover.
How could they recognize him?
Hundreds of persons crossed and re-
crossed the place. but only for Jones
did the birds fly down.
Was it the bag of food?
Pigeons have sharp eyes.
No doubt they can put two and two
together. as the saying has it, as well
as any other hungry creatures.
Templeton Jones liked to think. how
ever, that it was just his pleasing per-
sonality.
The white bird was the first to fly
down. He resembled great dove, as
he scared overhead.
Pigeons and doves, of course. are
cousins. They belong to the same bird
group, and their habits are great deal
alike.
Jones thought, as he watched Whitley
come down. that if pigeons were un-
known, the spectacle would be on the
first page of every paper in town.
For no bird can fly better than q
pigeon. Their ability is famous, but too
often bird lovers overlook the prowess

of the plain common birds that come
to their feeding stations.
In fact, most persons who feed the
birds grow red in the face over the
pigeons. They want to know how to get
rid of them. Since pigeons are large,
and hearty, they need plenty of food
Since they also are wise birds, after
their fashion, they seldom miss where
food is put out.
Templeton Jones was now proving
how smart they are.
There before him, mile away from
home. were exactly the same pigeons
he had left behind
They flew, in minute fiat, distance
that took him. walking, waiting and
riding, full 20 minutes.
Those pigeon boys couldn't fool him
any more.
Probably they were already saying to
each other, well, hurry up, let's eat
this. and then fly back to where this
good food is kept. You know, back there
over the tree tops, just around the cor
ner from the big oak"
AS the last crumb vanished, the white
pigeon and its eight pals took Off
scared high above, then turned and few
straight as an arrow to the North.
Templeton Jones know exactly where
they were going. Right down to the bird
feeding station by the garage. You can't
fool q pigeon. They are pretty capable
birds.
Evening star., 1952-11-04

Templeton Jones' pet pigeons have
taken to following him around town.
If you should happen to see band
of nine birds, led by pure white one,
well. the chances are that Jones is
nearby.
His feeding stations by his garage
have attracted birds from far and near.
It is only recently. however, that the
good man started to feed the pigeons
that hang around the bus station.
X
Then it was that he discovered that
the visiting pigeons at his home were
exactly the same as those at the sta
ton, a mile away.
Those feathered fellows had been fol-
lowing Jones!
When he took bag of seed and grain
for them, and carefully sprinkled it on
the platform, he was feeding exactly the
same pigeons he had as guests back
home.
To Jones, as to many persons, all
pigeons look alike.
Mostly the wild members of this tribe
are blue and gray, with occasionally a
black one, or tan specimen.
The white bird gave Jones his clue.
There was no mistaking Whitley.
He was pure white, except an edge Of
black on his tail feathers.

damaging to good understanding and
harmonious living and working rela-
tionshipS than the mixture Of half
truth and myth in Connaughton's testi-
mony before the Recreation Board.
This is free country. and Connaugh-
ton is certainly entitled to speak his
piece, whether in ignorance or in malice,
wherever he can find any one to listen.
But why should the Recreation Board
provide a captive audience for state
mentS which have no bearing on the
business before them, and which could
be construed only as insults to mem
bers of the board and witnesses who
came in good faith to help it reach a
decision on delicate and difficult
problem?
There is, of course, a great deal we
do not yet know about how to ease
tensions and suffering in our community,
and how to deal with crimes which are
symptoms of both. But this we do know:
Tensions and suffering and crime follow
where oppression and indignities are
visited on people. whether individually
or as members Of group. The very
accusations Connaughton makes are
terrible evidence of the consequences
of segregation and other forms of dis
elimination. Would he advocate segre-
eating all of any nationality or race
whenever there have been suffering and
crime among them? We have places for
segregating criminals, but Fairgrounds
and schools are not for that purpose!
This kind of arrogant pride is not
easily forgiven. We may doubt whether
Mr.. Connaughton really has, as he says,
many fine friends among the Negro
race; but if he has, it is only because
they have mastered lessons of compass
sion and civility which he has yet to
learn.
