In the Korean city of Cheju,
which is 40 miles from a United
States training center, there
are 704 little orphans. They
were evacuated from the capi-
tai city of this republic, Seoul,
in December, 1850, just prior
to the Chinese Communist re-
capture of that city. The
United States Air Force few

I want to ask your help for
these children and I want to
ask you to get your friends and
your friends friends to come
to their assistance. They have
nothing except loving kindness
from their directresS and her
assistants who have nothing
but spiritual air and mental
guidance.
These children all study in
the morning and work all
afternoon. They hand-paint
Christmas and Easter cards
but they need water colors
and paper. They do embroidery
but they have no embroidery
thread or cloth. They all make
their own clothes but they
need buttons, thread, cloth,
needles, yarn, etc. They can
remake old clothes into almost
anything. They have a band,
they drill-as Boy Scouts,
they even print a newspaper
but they have only the barest
essentials of life.
Cannot you and your friends
help? Send anything you can;

knitting needles, yarn, old

To Mrs. A. H. G., WASH

used to say as children, when
bouncing balls was:
Hello, Hello, Hello, Sir.
Are you going out, Sir?
No Sir,
But why Sir?
Because I have a cold Sir.
Let me hear you cough, Sir.
Kerchew. Kerchew, Kerchew,
Sir.
Oh, Goodbye. Goodbye,
Goodbye, Sir.
AS I remember the game,
the right leg was to be lifted
over and around the ball on
the "Sirs," and just bounce
the ball. on the other words.

great fun. I don't know how
old this is, or where it came

CAMPING PLANS

(MTS. r. M. NJ, Arlington
Many thanks to those who
have answered questions on
camping. I thought we had
our questions all answered and
have been pricing equipment
when a new problem arose. We
had planned to buy two 9-by-9
wall tents, one for us and a
112-year-old baby, and the
other for the three older chill
dren. On writing to a State
Park for two campsite reser-
vations, I found out only one
can be reserved per family.
Does this mean only one tent
allowed, and is this the general
rule in all State parks? How
large a tent must We buy and
will it be hard to put up?
Which is the best type (from a
standpoint of room), wall or
umbrella tent? Are the ad-
vantageS of netting and a
sewn-in floor so great? A tent
without these is much cheaper.
I could get a bigger size in the
standard type or would it be
too hot with no netting?
Are cots practical for chill
dren, or do they turn over?
Maybe we could get by this
year without them anyhow, or
would the kids be too uncom-
Portable on the floor? Last of
all, is used equipment such as
stoves, lanterns, ETC., available
and how good is it, where can
it be purchased? If someone
would be only good enough to
answer these questions I think
we will start living our sum-
merS in a whole new way of
life and perhaps we can now
dream of really seeing America.

can be found in most church

hymn book. It was written by
Tate and Brady in 1896, COM
posed by Hugh Wilson in
1900. harmonized by Robert A.
Smith, 1925, to be sung to the
tune "Martyrdom." The word
mart, in the first line, refers to
a stag or a deer.

And thy refreshing grace.

Tito Restates Faith
In Party, Calls Foes
'BoiIs Upon Body
By the Associated Press

BJELOVAR, Yugoslavia, Oct.
5.-Yugoslavia'S President Tito
has reaffirmed his faith in COM
munism and warned reaction
aries" in his nation not to make
a bid for power.
Tito told an estimated 100000
persons in this Croatian wheat
market city yesterday that his
regime would pursue its present
policies. despite rumors he
planned to dissolve his Com
munist Party.
Tito spoke on the 10th ami
versary of the formation of the
zagreb corps of his World War
II Partisan fighters.
Tito said Yugoslav reaction
aries" are still active and hope to
return to power. He denounced
them as "boils upon a healthy
body" He said his Communist
physicians" had been called on
once to deal with the rightists
and added:
Sometimes they (the boils)
return and a second operation is
required. The second operation
is usually more painful than the
first. I would not like to see the
new operation performed"
RumOr Spreading Is Charged.
He accused the 'reactionaries"
of spreading rumors that I'VE
have been forced by the West to
introduce democratic laws"
THAT is not true" he said.
1--WE planned that long ago. Be-
lieve me, they (the reaction
ariesO have nothing to gain.
Believe me, as you see me here,
they will never achieve their
aims"
Turning to the Bible for a
quotation, the Communist PreSl-
dent said that the chance of his
dissolving his party is as likely
as "a camel passing through the
eye of a needle" His party was
ousted from the Soviet-dominat-
ed Cominform in 1948 on charges
of "nationalism."
While Tito avoided any discus
sion of international problems.
his top lieutenant, Vice Presi-
dent Edward Kardelj, came out
for a mutual security pact be-
tween the West and Russia.
Urges Guarantee of Security.
Kardelj addressed a mass
meeting in the little Slovenian
town of Kocevje. Referring to
recent widespread suggestions
that the West take the initiative
in offering the East a security
pact, he said:
Peace should be defended

constructively by means Of peace
and not by means of war. That
is why we in Yugoslavia welcome
the initiative of the West di-
rected toward giving the Soviet
government practical guarantees
of security under the condition
that the Soviet government gives
such guarantees to big and small
countries"
Kardelj warned that despite
recent easing Of the cold war
tension, aggressive tendencies
are not definitely broken" in the
Soviet Union.
Kardelj also said Yugoslavia is
ready for "any reasonable COM
promise" with Italy over disputed
Trieste.

Three steps forward and two

the march. The bearers, those

strain and take their places under

About 80 men vie for the hon

around the town in the four
hour parade. In the line of march
hundreds of other pilgrims wait
by the roadside to pray to the
ornately bedecked Christ, or if
given the chance, to touch the
hem of his garment.
1t is generally believed that the
Black Christ works wonders, cur
ing the sick, lifting misfortunes
or bringing prosperity to them
who ask.
Traditionally pilgrims come
bearing gifts and making sacri-
fees to the Black One, who, for
the time of the feast, glorifies
everything black. Some bring
replicas of their particular line

gold. Some bring trinkets and
jewelry, and some make sacrifices

PANAMA CITY, RIP - ,(ANP)
= "Jesus ell Nazareno" or the
Black Christ that has been the
patron saint of Portobelo since
1858 is the center of attraction
for the faithful who have begun
plans for the annual pilgrimage
to the shrine.
Each year in October, the re-
ligiouS, the Superstitious, the
gamblers, the sick and the MAIN
ed turn their thoughts to Porto
belo, a village about Is miles
from Colon. Some go to worship,
some to play, some to seek cures,
and some to pick up an easy dol
lar.
For during the day and night of
the feast of the Black Christ,
every form of religious literature
and Autograph, pictures of saints,
incense, candles and lucky charms
are openly sold. Gamblers set up
tables of cards or dice for the en-
tertainment and diversion of the
less religious.
The Feast of the Nazarene, this
year, falls on Oct. 81. This means
that days before, pilgrims will be
treking by foot, by car, by boat
or by plane to the Portobelo mec-
ca to prepare for the mass and
parade, when once each year, the
heavy ebony-carved statue of the
Black Christ is taken from the
church and paraded around the
town on the shoulders of stall
wart and not so stalwart men.
The festival will begin at 6 pm.
with ceremonies honoring Jesus
ell Nazareno within the precincts
Of the little Roman Catholic
church. Then at 8 pm. the statue
will be taken from its sanctuary

diction, the secular revelry begins
to end with the coming Of the
dawn.
The origin of the magic of the
Black Christ is variously describ-
ed. Historians differ as to how
the statue reached Portobelo, but
it is generally agreed that since
1853 when it was washed ashore
there, it has kept Portobelo free
from plaques, especially cholera,
during the days when all Panama
was suffering from the epidemic.
One thing remains certain until
this day: if no other time Whites
worship and adore and honor
something black as the good that
"cometh out of Nazareth" it is
during the feast Of the Black
Christ.

A LETTER FROM
LANTAFF
Dear Neighbor:

eff second and third class pos
tai rates are increased I would
not object to adding a penny to
first class mail rates in an effort
to reduce the postal deficit" This
seemed to be the sentiment of
the majority of folks who parti-
cipated in your Congressman's re-
cent Sidewalk-Survey.
The sixth question on the sur
vey was: do you favor increas-
ing first class postal rates from
Sc to &c in order to reduce the
postal deficit?" A surprising 68
per cent of the people polled vot-
ed in favor of such a move, with
80 per cent in opposition and 2
percent expressing no opinion.
According to Postmaster Gen
eral Summerfield, the Post Of
flee Departments annual deficit
will run close to $500 million.
There is little doubt that increase
will be effected in second and
third class postal rates. Summer
field has stated that second class
mail, the handling of newspapers
and magazines, loses about $240
million per year. A request will
be made for a rate increase of
approximately $40 million. Third
class mail, used mainly for di-
rect-mail selling, loses about 1892
million annually. A request will
be made to increase third class
rates about 25 percent to bring
in approximately $50 million in
added revenue.
The post master general adj
mitted that first class mail is pay
ing its own way with the three
cent stamp letter bringing in about
SOS million annually. Neverthe-
less, he feels that by increasing
first class mail by a penny, along
with the increase in second and
third class rates, it might be pos
sible to reduce the annual Post
Office deficit from about $500
million to approximately SIS mil
lion.
The majority of the 68 per cent
favoring the penny increase Of
first class mail on this South
Florida pavement-poll, did so
with the reservation that second
and third class be increased to
carry their share. One lady in
Key West, added to her affirma-
tive answer, cts either add
penny to reduce the deficit or
see ourselves burdened with some
other new tax to pay the cost"
A group of North Miami houS-
wives stated emphatically they
would favor the one-cent first
class increase only after the gov
eminent made those using second
and third class mail pay their
full share of the cost. A Coral
Gables gentleman said merely he
approved of a "pass-as-you-post"
method.
The voiced opposition to the
first class increase urged, in its
place, elimination Of the subsi-
dies to the airlines and railroads,
full rates for second and third
class mail, dropping postal saw
ings and selling advertising on
mail boxes and trucks. One Mi
.ro;an nronosed elimination of
ranking privileges although the
Postmaster General announced
that the total cost of congression-
al franked mail last year was
only / million 700 thousand dol
lars and CT free mail but $3.S
million last year.
The postmaster general has
said no matter how you looked
at it, 1.-THE greatest bargain on
earth Is the United States mail"
