tegic materials to the Reds, the
Board of Trade said yesterday
But Britain is buying more than
ever from the Soviet Union.
H Britains exports to the Soviets,
which were worth $32 million in
1850, plummeted to $40 million in
1851.
: But Soviet sales to Britain
chiefly timber and grain-last year
totaled $168 million, nearly double
the sos million of the previous

~ btbNks ~
CAMP KILMER, N. J. R-The
American soldier is known to have
wide heart. He proved it here in
an unusual way.
They passed the hat recently
among some q, 900 or more troops
here during a United Fund cam
paign. The money solicited was
for % charities in nine neighboring
communicates of this Sprawling 49,
0O0-acre camp.
Some 10000 soldiers kicked in for
a total of $3.50, The amounts
given ranged from a few pennies
to $40.
The result has made the camp
commander rather proud. It left
some of the local citizens feeling
rather ashamed.
The reason: Most of the soldiers
who contributed to the drive were
in transit, men just entering the
service or men leaving it. Only a
handful have any permanent con-
nection here. Yet the camp In
creased its contributions $50 per
cent over year ago, while the
citizens who live in the commu-
mites Jagged behind their goal.
"The average soldier stays here
only an average of six days." COM
mented Brig. Gen. Charles F.
Craig, who regards the record
troop contributions as proof that
"Army men want to become part
Of whatever community they are
stationed in, and help serve its
needs"
And industrialist Robert Wood
Johnson, chairman Of the board of
Johnson & johnson, observed:
sour armed forces have demon
'strated a responsibility to the COM
munity that should serve as an ex-
ample to those who take too much
for granted"
A local newspaper, pointing at
the generosity of these strangers
in uniform, asked its readers:
"What kind of citizens are WEI"
Why should soldiers passing
through a camp contribute so
heavily to a charity drive in a CON-
munity in which they themselves
had no roots? l came over to find
out.
''Why don't you ask one of the
men back from overseas?" said
WAC 1t. Lola M. Irelan of Nor
folk, Va. ''It was the men just
returned from duty abroad who
seemed to give the most"
So ! put the question to Sgt. VIII
liam Skerry, Is, of Brooklyn, NY,
who received a Bronze Star and
two Purple Hearts during nearly
Is months in Korea.
1.-THE main reason the fellows
gave is because they figt red the
money might help some kid who
needed it," he said. ''The way most
Of us feel is that we saw the suf-
fering of the Korean people, par
ticularly the kids, and we don't
want it to happen here.
s'Those of us lucky enough to
have a IS bill were glad to toss it
sin. Weslike to feel we belong.
'War gives a man some sense.
He is more tolerant when he comes
back, and he thinks about things
MORE"
Sgt. Skerry, a former machine
gunner, left combat after being
wounded by 13 shell fragments. He
has applied for training to become
an officer.
"If l ever get to be lieutenant"
he said, smiling, ''it'l be just my
luck to draw a platoon in Korea.
But I'll take it."

Hon. Marion w. Stevenson,
Judge of the Juvenile Courts in
Kent and Sussex Counties, told
members of the Georgetown XII
wants Club, in Grace Church, here.
last week, "The kind of a nation
we have will not depend upon who
is elected as president, but upon
the millions of families of the ma
tiOn who are rearing children.
Discussing the work of the Juven-
lie Court, particularly in Sussex
County where he said the Court
had handled over 400 cases during
the past year, he pointed out that
by far the greater number of de-
linquent cases was among boys and
girls from broken homes. "In this
connection" he said, Last year
there were between $50 and 800
divorces granted in Kent and Sus-
sex Counties which means that per-
haps 800 to 400 children were in
volved" and termed the divorce
rate "an alarming situation.
The speaker explained the pro-
visions of the bill which sets up
the Court and prescribes the man
ner in which it is to be handled
and cited examples of cases com
ing before him involving not only
cases of delinquency but the non
support cases. He told of efforts
of the Court to help the boys anC
girls coming before the Court anC
give them all possible chance tC
help themselves. Parole, he said
"is not an easy way out, but al
opportunity to help the boy or gir

also pointed out that Crime en-
