PERCIYAL ARMSTRONG

Funeral services for Percival

Am. Of1ciating along with the
Rector Of st. Cyprian's Church,
Rev. Nathan Wright, Jr., were
The Rev. David Leroy Ferguson,
Rector Emeretus, and the Rev.
FIR. Harry o. Bowles. In a brief
memorial tribute to Percival
Armstrong in the Sunday morn
ing service a day before the
funeral, Mr.. Joseph Benn, on
behalf of the officers and men,
bers, praised his record of serv-
ice to the church and noted his
open mindedneSs, humility and
friendlineSs to all. In part-the
tribute read: Records will show
that from the early inception of
st. Cyprian's as a Mission
Church, Percival Armstrong had
given service in every possible
capacity, sometimes a church
warden sometimes as clerk, but
wherever called upon, his re-
Sponse had one purpose i'll
mind-to serve well. 1t can be
truly said that he lived in full
and rich Christian relationship
with the services and worship Of
his church until failing health
forced him to relinquish much

any cooking Sunday at home, or

teachers, parents and friends
wishing to help in Shiloh's pro-

The proper procedure is to take It

it is claimed, in the dilution used. who

Until some experiments have been
made to determine this matter, owners
Of home aquariums should carefully
watch the effects Of the new water.
There seems to be no hope Of boiling
fluoride out, or removing it by any
simple procedure, such as allowing the
water to stand overnight. It is not
the sort of chemical that evaporates.
So the only thing for users to do Is
to watch results carefully. In slightly
larger dosage fueride makes an excel

killer, also kills honey bees and birds.

Legal Lemon

It is a little hard to believe that in this day
and age Marine corporal has been found guilty
of violating the law because he painted some
lemons on his car to indicate his dissatisfaction
with It,
This accompanying business may be
rather childish way Of registering complaint.
But that is different matter from holding 1t to
be unlawful Presumably, as matter OF free
speech the corporal could have pointed to his
car and told passersby that it was lemon In
that, he would enjoy the protection of the First
Amendment. And the chances are that the
Supreme Court would say that the First
Amendment also protects his chosen method OF
expressing his discomfort.
But it takes time and money to carry . case
to the Supreme Court. The best remedy would
be for the Commissioners to repeal the regulation
under which the corporal was convicted. That
regulation Is the real lemon In this case.

This and That

This may seem fantastic question:
Has the introduction of fluoride into
the District water supply had anything
to do with the many subsequent breaks
In the mains?
We can hear the gasps Of indigna-
tion over this. Why. certainly not. GER,
tainly not! Absurd, ridiculous and pre-
posterous.
What interests US is the possible effect
of many chemicals on small aquarium
fishes.
It must be kept in mind that these
small denizens Of the stream and pools
are very popular In Washington. Our
people have the leisure and means to
indulge in aquarium sports. The cost
is not large spread over three or four
years, and gives much pleasure, inter-
est and even emotional appeal.
To some persons. no doubt. nothing
could be more absurd than the claim
that one can almost fall in love with
fish.
Note we say almost" It is true that
fishes are so far OF the human beam
that never the twain shall meet exactly.
But some humans have an infinite ca
pacity for affection. They work up real
love and care for furry animals, flowers,
lovely moths, even bats.

Some Real Focts Needed

Secretary of Commerce Sawyer can render
a proper service to the American public If he
carries out his promise to seek out the real
facts" on whether the Nation is facing another
stiff shot of imitation.
There was an implication about his announce
ment that he is planning Survey" for this
purpose, however, that leads to the fear he is
more concerned about refuting certain state
ments by resigning OPS Director Ellis Arnan
than about making solid study OF the state OF
the Nations economy
It seems that Mr. Arnall, in job that already
had taken the measure of several predecessors,
never quite kept in step with the rest of the
administration One manifestation of this part
time incompatibility was reflected in Mr.. Arnall's
consistency with regard to his opinion that
price increase for steel would be inflationary.
At various times, other leading figures of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Truman, John Steel
man and Economic Stabilizer Roger Putnam
appeared to feel the same way; and at various
other times they appeared to feel that it would
be no such thing. When the price rise was
granted. in order to accommodate the wage
increase given to end the 57-day strike, the
official administration line seemed to settle on
the conclusion that nothing infationary had
been done.
Mr. ArnaN not only stuck by his opinion but
ne inquired out on MS SllQe RUE CnaL 1000 per
ton of steel means $100 in added yearly living
costs for the average American family. Then he
predicted a further calamitous increase in the
family food bills as the result of the drought.
While Mr. Arnall did not appear to be blaming
the drought upon the administration, Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan took no chances of a
political misinterpretation and promptly issued
a reassuring statement in contradiction OF Mr..
Arnall.
It was at this point that Mr.. Sawyer, although
not mentioning Mr. Arnall by name, remarked
somewhat testify that inflationary statements
mot based upon facts render great disservice
to the American people" He indicated that he
already had been reassured about both the
drought and steel price increase but he promised
to make further survey to get the real facts.
Whatever the real facts turn out to be, it
can hardly be disputed that the Nation has
been in an inflationary period for some time
long before the steel price increase or the
drought-and it is a circumstance that is far
too serious to become merely political issue.
